Opening his eyes, Luke saw the exotic ceiling of the Palace room appear in his vision. The bed he was laying on was still soft as ever, but there was something even sweeter on him.
Luke felt two delicate heavenly bodies cling on to him.
From the view of the window in the room, Luke could tell it was pretty early as the girls still haven't woke up yet.
Looking down, Luke saw the beautiful Lingxi cling on to his neck. Her face was filled with a natural content happy smile that made her all the more lovely.
In the morning glow, her black hair and pure green robes seemed to have elegant grace that multiplied her attractiveness.
Luke started to stroke her lushes black hair as he felt massive warmth and joy bloom into his chest.
And looking down a bit further, he saw the magnificent Qingyue cling on to his chest. Like Lingxi, Qingyue's marvelous black combined with her azure, red robes created a soul catching attraction under the morning glow.
Her face held the same satisfied smile, and her small cute little snores sent shivers down Luke's body.
Luke began to stroke Qingyue's gorgeous hair as the warmth and joy he felt only seemed to expand.
He wouldn't really call himself an emotional guy, but staring into his two girlfriends' faces who only held a pleasant smile made him truly think how much he like these girls.
It wasn't because of their status or characters from the original novel but because of the genuine quality time he had with them, getting to know new and interesting things about them.
And thinking about Quality times, made Luke think about last night.
It was...the best experience he ever had in anything!
The sweet soft tastes of their breasts, their angelic moans, and touching their secret gardens to make them orgasm were all things he would never forget in his life.
And after he made all of them freshly clean through Essence energy, the girls sought and clung to Luke's body like he was a heat signature.
The only question he had in his mind was, actually, why did this time feel far superior to their past times?
He gathered it was because of his soul powers, but when Qingyue and Lingxi hold hands, it only increased the pleasure by ten folds.
'Well, it's part of our curse and part our fused soul getting stronger from our soul marks. The curse in a twisted sense can give someone ultimate pleasure that'll corrupt their minds into obeying them. And our soul marks, well...think of it as bonding with a piece of ourselves that we just found.'
Spooky suddenly spoke up as she read Luke's mind. And her explanation only left Luke with some more questions.
'I guess since I can control our curse better, I can, therefore, control the amount of pleasure...but what do you mean 'a piece of ourselves' through bonding?'
'You might think this is corny, but our souls need to bond with those it yearns for. It's why despite going for so long in our other life, you eventually ended in my house and felt the pull to come in it. My soul is more of a special case since your yearning made us combine. But for the marks, you go beyond just the mere physical pleasure to a soul pleasure. And when you all joined hands, it creates the maximum soul pleasure.'
Processing a load of information rather quickly, Luke then ask,
'So it's like that, huh...then if that's for pleasure. How did our soul push us to breakthrough?'
'Because through pleasure, your souls become even more deeply connected. And in return, it tempers our fused souls, pushing the girls and us to become stronger in every aspect. It doesn't matter what sort of strange requirement this universe has to get stronger, our souls have ways to easily bypass it, and this is one of the quickest ways. And when the marks increase in the future, your cultivation will only become faster.'
So just by loving his cute girlfriends, can he grow stronger!
Even though in Luke's mind, he would never use his girls just to grow powerful, he couldn't help but admit it's a pleasant surprise.
But out of everything, he found the most extraordinary thing of just being able to grow closer with Lingxi and Qingyue and bring maximum pleasure to them. It's what matters the most to him.
As Luke was contemplating Spooky's words, she once more spoke up with,
'Oh, one more thing. You didn't notice it, but there's this small calling I feel not too far from here. I think it's related to your Spirit Power since it has a similar sensation. This is supposed to be that Source Energy you mention before, right?'
'So it does exist in this world. I never really got a clear explanation of how World Spiritists breakthrough since you just made it so Spooky, but this could be a possible lead.'
As the two were talking, Luke suddenly felt the stirring of two soft elastic bodies. Luke saw Qingyue coming to wake, but then a lovely pair of hands gently turned his head around.
Before Luke knew it, Lingxi lushes lips kissed him.
"Mhn..."
Her eye closed as she melted into the kiss, pouring all of her feelings into it. It was a more sensual kiss as slow budding warmth bloomed between them.
"Good morning Luke..."
Her cute face had a broad smile, her eyes were filled with emotion, and her voice carried a heavy loving tone.
This was a breathtaking sight for any man to wake up to.
"Good morning Lingxi..."
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Luke said in the same loving, happy smile. And looking down at Qingyue, he noticed she was a bit red at the face, still a bit shy and doing a good morning kiss.
But from the tender strokes of Luke, she musters up her courage.
With eyes filled with affection, she slowly went up to Luke and gently kissed his lips.
"Nnnh..."
Her eyes closed and she poured herself into the kiss. It was an intoxicating sight to see the beautiful Qingyue with a slight blush on her face, pouring her feelings into him.
And to the side, he could also tell Lingxi was still happily smiling as she snuggled into his neck while he stroked her back.
"G-good morning..."
Her incredibly charming face was still shy, but the raw emotion was there. The eyes filled with affection and the longing gaze she held towards Luke told him everything he needed to know.
"And good morning to you too, Qingyue. Honestly, we should make this a tradition whenever waking up; it gives me all the energy I need." Luke told the girls, and in their minds, they couldn't help agree.
Especially after how last night went, they too wanted to do more intimate things with Luke.
"Hehehe~, that may not be a bad idea...I do feel a lot more energized than usual!" Lingxi proclaimed as she felt her body had become a lot lighter and stronger since last night.
"I-I suppose it would feel good...ah? Did we breakthrough last night?"
Qingyue, out of the two, was the first to notice the stronger Essence energy in her dantian and, in general, felt her body become stronger.
Although compared to other times, she felt countless times stronger than when she experienced a regular breakthrough.
"Eh? We really did breakthrough last night! But how?"
Lingxi finally notices her dantian was storing the next level of Profound Essence energy.
But for both girls, all they could remember from last night is Luke's enchanting face and experiencing a bliss they never felt before.
"Ah, that would be our soul connection at works. Think of it as a form of dual cultivation. When we experience pleasure like that, we will become even closer and get stronger. I was able to sense it from my soul."
Luke gave them a water down explanation that still made sense to the girls.
Lingxi and Qingyue were both pleasantly surprised at this news. In their eyes, experiencing bliss like that can also lead to strength!
Although suddenly Lingxi gained a blush as she asked,
"D-does this means if we have...s-sex our power will increase even more?" Luke mentioning it was like a dual cultivation technique put this thought in the girls in head.
And for Qingyue and Lingxi, their heart madly beat at that thought.
But...they couldn't say they were against the idea at all and even felt little anticipation from it.
"From the looks of it, yes, it would. Though I will only do it when you're ready...in the meantime, there still plenty of fun intimate things we can do to grow closer and feel pleasure."
Luke tenderly said it, but his smile was a bit perverted as he looked at the girls. Even with his high self-control, he still had several 'fun' fantasies he would like to try with the girls.
"I...I want to make you f-feel good too!"
Lingxi suddenly blurted out with a red face.
Luke was always kind, patient, and caring to their needs and held no qualms at going at their pace. And after having her experience such bliss last night, the least she could do was return the favor.
'Uuuhh...that was so embarrassing to say aloud...' Lingxi thought since she was still pretty innocent at this and nearly every time Luke takes the lead during these moments.
"I-I want to help too..."
Qingyue's face was bright scarlet as she said such embarrassing words. Towards Luke, he would even go out of his way just for they could go on a journey together.
She was even a little bit more than Lingxi, open to making sweet love with Luke.
Seeing their cute and honest reactions made Luke smile, and he gave their waists a gentle squeeze to calm their nerves.
"Is that so? Alright then, next night, if you're still up for it, I'll guide you on how to make me feel good. But for now...shall we get up?"
This time Qingyue and Lingxi gave a mischievous grin as they shared a look with each other.
"Just wait a little bit, I still need more energy!" Lingxi happily said as she snuggles more comfortably on Luke's neck.
"Mhn...five more minutes." Qingyue breathed out a fresh sighed, and she got comfortable on Luke's chest.
Luke simply wryly smile, but he certainly wasn't going to complain about not getting up now...
….
Finally, walking out of their rooms, Luke, Lingxi, and Qingyue were all refreshed and ready for the day!
"About time, you come out from your little pink worlds."
And their eyes immediately matched with Andrea's deep black ones who had a bored expression on her face. She was leaning on the extravagant walls of the Palace with her arms cross.
The area they were currently in was wide open halls that had luxurious designs and split off into numerous different paths.
"Andy? When did you get up?" Luke asked, but while he having a romantic session with the girls, he did sense someone standing outside their door for quite a while.
"Not too long, but that's not important now. Want to go and meet that Spirit Elder Xueruo was talking about before we meet up with her?"
Andrea avoided the question and asked her own.
"Eh? Is he really down here now? I thought he would be at the area for the event or something." Lingxi believed Andrea's words that she could find him, and now, she did want to see what the Elder looks like.
"Perhaps he's just cultivating before he goes. But should we even disturb him?" Qingyue guessed since it was common for people to cultivate before attending any event to calm their minds.
Luke spread out his Spirit Sense, which on his own grew exponentially since last night. And like Andrea, he was able to locate another signature that had blue cloak Spirit Power.
"Let's...go and see him. I mean we're not ordinary youths at all, and I'm curious to see what a renowned blue cloak World Spiritists is like." Luke gave his opinion, and since he was the unspoken leader of the group, Lingxi and Qingyue shrugged while Andrea nodded.
"Alright, if you don't mind, little Luke, I'll lead the way this time."
….
With how ginormous and spacious the Azure Dragon Profound Palace was, it would be easy to get lost in it's twisty turn halls.
Luckily for Luke's group, Andrea, of course, had impeccable Spirit Sense that allowed to get directly where the Elder was.
Through their walk, nobody bothers them as Cang Yue gave them a personal badge signifying some sort of status in the Palace.
Mainly, people only notice and look at the beauty of three girls and Luke's natural charming presence.
But once they got near where the Elder was, the other disciples and people cleared out until it was only them four walking alone.
And at an inconspicuous part of the special guests' area at the far end of a hall was a middle-aged-looking man leaning on the wall, contemplating his thoughts.
The man was wearing fitting blue robes and held sharply defined features on his face. His presence was a bit standoffish but also reserved.
Furthermore, Luke and Andrea could sense this was the guy as out of the numerous people they sensed from the halls of this Palace, he was the only one who had Spirit Power.
"I'll do the introductions since he'll react the most positive to me," Luke said to the girls as they were at the other end of the hall.
The girls didn't object since they never seen anyone not have a favorable impression during their first meeting with Luke.
When the four did take a foot in the hall with the Elder, he immediately looked at them as the slight stir in his soul had suddenly become stronger!
His eyes locked with an extremely handsome young boy who gave him the warmest of smiles that sent ripples his mind.
"Hello, are you the Spirit Elder of the Palace?"
