Starforce Warriors

Chapter 288: Yin-Yang Resonance of Great Sorrow

The intense battle had left Li Xiaofei so drained that an uncontrollable desire suddenly surged within him. He quickly pulled away from Tan Qingying’s support, struggling to seat himself in a nearby chair.

Taking deep breaths, he tried to suppress the rising urge in his body. But the more he tried to suppress it, the stronger the backlash became.

“What’s wrong?” The young lady reached out to touch his forehead. “You’re a bit hot. Are you hurt?”

Li Xiaofei shook his head. The sweet scent of the girl’s breath and her delicate fragrance stirred his mind, making it harder to think clearly. His rationality was on the verge of collapsing. He bit down hard on his tongue. The sharp pain jolted him back to partial awareness.

“I just need to recover.” Li Xiaofei said, “Little Ying, you should go rest.”

Tan Qingying, noticing the unusual state he was in, hesitated.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked worriedly.

Li Xiaofei replied, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Tan Qingying bit her lip, then suddenly giggled softly. She tilted her head and teased, "So, why did you bring me back tonight?"

Why?

Of course, he wanted to do everything, but not in his current state. Li Xiaofei vaguely recalled the last time this uncontrollable desire had taken over him, and how powerless he had been to stop it.

Something must have triggered it then, but the details were blurry. He couldn’t remember who it had been with or how it had unfolded. When he looked at Tan Qingying, as beautiful as a blooming flower, he realized she wasn’t rejecting the idea.

In this era, premarital relations weren’t taboo. In fact, due to population concerns, having children before marriage had become socially acceptable. However, he wanted his first time with someone he loved to be perfect and to happen when he was in full control.

He didn’t want it to be some reckless act, like a bull trampling over delicate flowers, leaving a hazy and confused memory of their first experience together. So this time...

No, not like this.

"I think I need to meditate for a bit." Li Xiaofei said again, "You should rest for now. Later, I’ll take you to see something interesting."

Tan Qingying bit her lip again, then suddenly giggled, her beautiful eyes blinking as she asked bluntly, "Are you... struggling to hold back?"

Li Xiaofei froze, a look of surprise crossing his face. Then it hit him. This was no longer a world bound by the old traditions of five hundred years ago. It wasn’t some feudal society with rigid morals.

In this modern era, with light cores providing information on anything, Tan Qingying wasn’t some sheltered maiden locked away behind gates. She was a true modern woman. In fact, she was a bit of a rebellious woman. Though she might not have experienced these things herself, she definitely understood them. Of course, she could sense what was off with him.

"It's because of the side effects of my training..." Li Xiaofei admitted.

Suddenly, Tan Qingying’s expression grew serious.

Tan Qingying spoke softly, “Do you know that I’ll be leaving Liuhe Base City and heading to Xiajing in just a few days? I don’t know when I’ll see you again.”

Li Xiaofei replied, “I know...”

But before he could continue, Tan Qingying gently placed her delicate fingers on his lips, stopping him. “No, you don’t understand. I’m leaving to attend university, but it also means stepping away from protection and entering a world of far greater turmoil. I can’t predict what the future holds.”

Li Xiaofei met her eyes determinedly , “As long as you’re willing to wait for me, no matter where you are, no matter how much time passes, even if it’s a hundred years, a thousand, or ten thousand, I will come for you. One day, I will ride the clouds, don a divine armor, and become an unstoppable hero to marry you.”

Tan Qingying responded, “The future is the future, but now is now.”

As she spoke, her clothes quietly slipped from her body.

“A thousand years is too long. I only want tonight.”

She reached forward, and her slender fingers, as delicate as freshly peeled spring onions, lifted Li Xiaofei’s chin in a playful tease. “You love cars so much, don’t you want to take this new one for a test drive?”

Li Xiaofei felt his mouth go dry. Desire shared between two hearts was entirely different from mere animalistic urges.

“Don’t place your hopes on some distant, uncertain future,” Tan Qingying whispered, wrapping her arms around Li Xiaofei’s head and gently pressing him against her chest. “The future is unpredictable. Don’t leave us with regrets. That’s why we must cherish the present, seize it, and enjoy it...”

Li Xiaofei buried his face between her soft peaks, a cool, mint-like fragrance filling his senses. Tan Qingying’s figure, though not overwhelming, was graceful and elegant. Her skin was pale and smooth, with a supple, youthful warmth that radiated beneath his touch. His hands instinctively wrapped around her slender waist.

Her waist was delicate, soft, and smooth. Her skin was so flawless that it exuded a uniquely youthful warmth in his palms.

Snap.

Li Xiaofei flicked his finger, sending out a small breeze of energy. The lights turned off.

Snap. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Tan Qingying responded with her own surge of energy. The lights flickered back on.

“I want to see and remember everything tonight, so the lights stay on.”

There was no shyness in her voice, only pride as she held her head high, her breathing becoming heavier. Her eyes were teasing, as she asked playfully, “What’s wrong, hero? Are you actually feeling shy?”

Li Xiaofei’s response was simple. He gently bit down. Tan Qingying let out a soft hum, lifting her head higher.

Her dark hair cascaded down her finely sculpted shoulders, creating a striking contrast between the black strands and her porcelain skin. The moment felt like it was frozen in a perfect balance of light and shadow.

That night would be a long one. Li Xiaofei had originally planned to rest briefly and then head to Tianshun Villa as his usual self, pretending to know nothing while putting on a convincing act. But now? Even the most important plans could wait.

Soon, the room was filled with the sound of two uneven breaths.

"I... have... a technique, both physical and breathing, I need to show you..." Tan Qingying said, panting between her words.

"Later," Li Xiaofei replied.

"No... it has to be now. It’s good for both of us... it must... be now," Tan Qingying insisted.

As she spoke, she pulled out a miniature light core device, placed it on her chest, and opened a video. Li Xiaofei, curiosity piqued, leaned down to watch.

"Hmm?"

Yin-Yang Resonance of Great Sorrow?

The name sounded... intriguing, to say the least, especially in the context of intimate pleasures, where constant exploration and innovation were often encouraged. The nature of such things, however, was not something to be shared with outsiders.

The entire night passed without rest for either of them. Li Xiaofei’s stamina was already monstrous by nature.

Tan Qingying, though weaker in physique, would have long been unable to endure in a normal situation. But under the miraculous effects of the Yin-Yang Resonance of Great Sorrow, she pushed through the initial weariness that had left her as weak as a ragdoll. As time went on, her vitality surged as her constitution rapidly strengthened.

Not long after... The first exploration of resonance finally came to an end. Li Xiaofei felt an immense surge of pure yin energy replenish his body, harmonizing with the restless yang energy that had been stirring inside him for so long. He had never felt so comfortable.

It was as if he had been reborn, with his body cleansed and refined. Not only had his starforce qi become more vast and powerful, its quality had also improved, while his physical body underwent significant transformation.

There was too much to process at once. But the benefits for Tan Qingying were even greater. Her cultivation had skyrocketed, leaving her feeling like an entirely new person.
