Chapter 332 — Chapter 332 A Thousand Years

After hanging his clothes on a nearby tree to let them dry, Yuan entered the shallow river that barely reached his shoulders, rinsing the dried sweat off his body.

"Wow, this feels amazing!"

Maybe it was because of his body as a cultivator but the water didn’t feel cold at all. It felt refreshing, resembling the feelings he’d get after a breakthrough.

After submerging himself in the water for a couple of minutes, Yuan turned to look at the waterfall and wondered what it would feel like to go under it, treating it like a shower.

"I’m a cultivator, so it should be fine, right?" Yuan mumbled to himself, a little bit worried that the waterfall might crush him to death if he went into it.

However, he won’t know unless he tried it, so he approached the waterfall with care.

Once he was directly before the waterfall, Yuan stuck a finger inside the waterfall to test the pressure.

"It’s not that bad..."

When he realized that he could withstand the pressure, he proceeded to insert his hand deeper into the waterfall.

"It feels very light— much lighter than it appears. Is it because of my body?"

After feeling comfortable and confident that his body could handle the waterfall, he took a few steps forward, entering the waterfall and allowing the water to pour down over his entire body.

"This feels great!"

It felt like he was being massaged by the waterfall.

Some minutes later, Yuan sensed a presence approaching the waterfall.

"Yuan, can I join you in the water?" Lan Yingying’s figure could be seen in the distance and approaching his direction.

However, there was something different about her appearance, and Yuan’s eyes widened with surprise when he saw her, who was completely naked at this moment.

She had a great figure with perfect portions from head to toe, pale skin that resembled snow, and on her chest were two luscious and round breasts that attracted Yuan’s gaze, especially the small and elegant pink circles on her breasts. Her legs were slender and long, and between these beautiful legs was a single slit that made Yuan feel something he didn’t understand.

"Miss Lan? You’re also here to bathe?" Yuan asked her in a calm voice after his initial surprise.

If it was any other man in his situation, they might’ve gone crazy from the stimulation just at the sight of Lan Yingying’s peerless body.

"Yes... I hope you don’t mind," she said.

"Of course, not." Yuan quickly responded with an innocent smile on his face. "Please, join me. The water feels great and very refreshing."

Lan Yingying nodded and entered the water a moment later.

However, she didn’t say anything else after entering the water.

’Grandfather told me to seduce him... But how do I do that?’ Lan Yingying wondered inwardly, as nobody has ever taught her how to seduce humans before.

Furthermore, as someone who has lived in the Divine Forest for her entire life, she only knows what her family taught her as well as things she naturally learns as a Divine Beast, and none of this knowledge would help her seduce a human.

"You should come over here, " Yuan suddenly said to her, and he continued, "It feels even better under the waterfall."

Lan Yingying didn’t say anything and merely nodded her head.

She slowly made her way to the waterfall, and a few moments later, she stood directly beside Yuan with the waterfall massaging their body.

After another moment of silence, Lan Yingying spoke, "Yuan, to tell you the truth, it was my grandfather who suggested I come here to seduce you. He really wants me to continue the family’s legacy— to have a baby with you."

Lan Yingying felt that it was quite rude to keep such a thing hidden from him and didn’t want to feel like she was lying to him, who was risking his own life to help their situation with the demons, so she told him the truth.

"Yuan, I understand why you don’t want to have children, but remember, I am not human, so I am not giving birth to a human child. I am a Divine Beast; it’s completely different. You can even consider it as having a pet or something."

Yuan turned to look at her with wide eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Even if you say that... I don’t know how to make babies. I was only taught how to play instruments and memorize songs."

"I-It’s really simple!" Lan Yingying realized that she had a chance, so she quickly responded.

"I only need your blood and spiritual energy!" Lan Yingying then said.

"My blood and spiritual energy? I don’t know how to make babies, but this doesn’t sound right..." Yuan said with a confused look on his face.

Lan Yingying then said, "I don’t know how humans make babies, but this is how we— Divine Beasts— conceive. Through blood and spiritual energy."

Yuan closed his eyes to ponder.

After a few minutes of silence, Yuan opened his eyes and said, "Okay, I’ll help you."

"Really?!" Lan Yingying exclaimed.

Yuan nodded. "As you’d said, I am not really giving birth to a human child, and this is just a game..."

"T-Thank you! Let’s begin immediately!"

Lan Yingying wasted no time transforming into her beast form.

"What should I do?" Yuan asked her.

"You just need to retrieve some of your blood and mix it with your spiritual energy."

"Okay, tell me when to stop."

Yuan took out the Starry Abyss and slit his palms before collecting his blood with Qi Manifestation.

"That’s enough blood." Lan Yingying suddenly stopped him.

Yuan nodded and stopped draining his own blood.

"What should I do now?" Yuan asked as his own blood floated in front of him in the shape of a sphere.

"Mix it with your spiritual energy until I tell you to stop." Lan Yingying said.

Yuan followed her instructions and proceeded to mix his spiritual energy with the blood.

Slowly, his blood began glistening like there were stars living inside. A few more moments later, his blood began to solidify and clear up, almost like it was crystalizing, and it was also growing smaller in size.

"Okay, that’s enough." Lan Yingying said to him once the crystalized blood was the size of his thumb.

"Here you go." Yuan handed his crystalized blood to Lan Yingying, who accepted it with her tail.

"Thank you very much for this, Yuan. I will never forget it." Lan Yingying said to him before throwing the crystal inside her mouth and eating it.

’T-This is?! What kind of blood is this?! I have never tasted anything this pure and delicious before!’ Lan Yingying’s eyes widened with shock a few seconds after swallowing Yuan’s blood.

She then turned to look at Yuan with a weird glint in her eyes. If she wasn’t a Divine Beast but an ordinary magical beast, perhaps she might’ve gone crazy and attacked Yuan purely because of his blood, especially when it’s enhanced with his rich spiritual energy.

"Are you done?" Yuan asked her a moment later.

Lan Yingying snapped out of her daze and nodded her head.

"Yes, I should be able to conceive a child in the future."

"Do you know how long that will take?" Yuan then asked, his interest piqued.

Lan Yingying pondered for a moment before answering his question, "About a thousand years, give or take."

"Eh?" Yuan’s eyes widened from surprise, and he proceeded to stare at her with a speechless look on his face.
