The Life of a Necromancer as a Swashbuckler

Chapter 31: Embraced by a Beauty

Seeing how resolute Yechacha was, Nameless decided to play along. Without hesitation, he stripped completely naked—so quickly that Yechacha didn’t even have time to dodge. By now, Nameless had come to understand Yechacha a little better. Despite her outwardly alluring and worldly demeanor toward men, when it actually came down to it, she seemed even shyer than Nameless. So be it—he stripped down as well. Even if it was merely a “return gift” from the tree, the two stood before each other in their naked sincerity. Just as Nameless had suspected, the moment he was completely naked, Yechacha—unable to dodge in time—let out a startled scream and immediately turned away, her face flushed crimson, too embarrassed to look at Nameless. It turned out that all her earlier allure and seduction had been nothing but a facade. This time, Nameless finally knew how to handle Yechacha. After all, the body wasn’t even his own, so he stood there with his hands on his hips, unconcerned, and his tone lightened. “Miss Ji, I’m completely naked. What now?” Yechacha’s face was already flushed with embarrassment, but she forced herself to speak calmly: “Turn around and sit on the bed.” Nameless did as he was told, sitting on the bed with his back to the outside and his face toward the inside. Shortly after, he heard a rustling sound behind him—it seemed Yechacha had also taken off her clothes. She then sat down behind Nameless, placed both palms against his lower back, and said in a calm voice, “Focus your mind and direct your qi to the dantian.” Nameless had already mastered some martial arts mantras, so he did as instructed. Then the Yechacha began channeling his energy, preparing to draw out Nameless’s inner energy. At that moment, Nameless felt as if a stream of energy were coursing through his body, guided by the Yechacha’s intent. The two palms on his back attempted several times to draw the energy out, but each time they encountered an obstacle; after two or three attempts, they were forced to give up. Nameless was quite puzzled, but then he heard Yechacha behind him let out a long sigh. He bent down and muttered to himself, “It really won’t work,” sounding very disappointed. “Turn around,” the Yechacha said to Nameless with a resigned tone. Nameless heard a skip in his heart at this. The Yechacha was being surprisingly open—he dared not question it and turned around as instructed. Sure enough, the Yechacha was sitting naked behind him, her snow-white skin and delicate body on full display. A pair of jade-like breasts stood gracefully before her chest, an indescribably beautiful and alluring sight that would set anyone’s imagination racing no matter how many times they saw it. Seeing Yechacha’s naked body once again, Nameless still couldn’t control himself. Yechacha could do nothing but blush and let Nameless adjust to the situation on his own. After a while, Nameless’s desire finally subsided somewhat, and Yechacha, her face flushed, spoke up, “Have you had enough of looking?” Nameless nodded sheepishly. “Hold me tight,” Yechacha made another request that made it even harder for Nameless to control himself. “Like this, hugging you from the front?” Nameless’s whole body was burning hot; his brain seemed to have short-circuited a bit, and his speech was slurred. “Mm-hmm,” Yechacha replied in a voice so soft it was barely audible. Seeing Yechacha’s bashful expression, Nameless knew this was a necessary part of the energy transfer. Not wanting to make her feel awkward any longer, he no longer hesitated; he leaned in and held her tightly. For the first time, their two burning bodies were pressed together. They fully felt each other’s warmth and softness, and both couldn’t help but feel a surge of desire. Fortunately, they both kept themselves in check, and nothing unexpected happened. They remained tightly embraced like this for a long time, savoring the sensation of each other’s bodies, before Yechacha spoke again: “Feels good, doesn’t it? Close your eyes and focus your breath on your dantian.” So Nameless focused his mind and followed Yechacha’s instructions. This time, it went much more smoothly. As the area of physical contact increased, the flow of qi became smoother. Guided by Yechacha, the qi within Nameless’s body gradually enveloped both of them and, in sync with Yechacha’s breath, slowly entered Yechacha’s body—the process of returning the energy had begun. During the energy return, both felt an indescribable sense of physical comfort and couldn’t help but press closer and closer together, leaving almost no space between them. They gradually fell into a peaceful, synchronized state, and before they knew it, Nameless, still holding the Yechacha in his arms, drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Nameless awoke gently, as if from a deeply satisfying dream. He was still naked, and the Yechacha in his arms had vanished without a trace. Nameless stretched, stood up, and assessed his body—it felt incredibly comfortable. The sun was already shining brightly, and birds outside the window had begun to chirp; it was a beautiful day. Thinking back on what had happened last night, it all seemed like a dream. If not for the lingering scent of Yechacha on her body, she would have truly believed it had all taken place in a dream. The energy transfer must have concluded by now; Yechacha had likely left, and it was time for her to return to Xiaoyao Valley. Thinking of the Yechacha, a ripple of emotion stirred within Nameless. She wasn’t at all like the rumors in the martial arts world described—not a seductive, terrifying demon, but more like a little girl. Would he ever have the chance to see her again? At this thought, Nameless couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness. After getting dressed, Nameless prepared to go downstairs to settle the bill. Just as she stepped out the door, she saw a familiar figure clad in bright red appear outside—a vision of exquisite charm that could only be Yechacha. Yechacha was beaming with a rosy glow on her face, holding a tray—which appeared to contain breakfast—and was just about to enter when she happened to run into Nameless as he was leaving. So Nameless and Yechacha returned to the room together. “Miss Ji, I thought you’d left. Didn’t we finish the martial arts transmission last night?” Once back in the room, Nameless asked in confusion. “Did you want me to leave?” Yechacha remained as charming as ever; her cheeks seemed even rosier, making her look even more radiant and alluring. “Not at all. It’s just that Nameless, who is Wuming, doesn’t know what else he can do for Miss Ji,” Nameless voiced his confusion. “Is the Great Hero of Xiaoyao Valley afraid of me?” Seeing Nameless’s deadpan expression, Yechacha pursed her pink lips, looking even more adorable. “Who told you the energy transfer was complete? “Did something go wrong last night?” Nameless worried that he might have fallen asleep and interrupted Yechacha’s energy transmission. “No, last night’s energy transfer was a success. It felt nice, didn’t it?” Yechacha asked Nameless with a beaming smile, making him feel as though he’d stumbled upon a playful female rogue. “With this Xuan Nu Gong, transferring energy is easy, but returning it is difficult. Transferring it only requires skin-to-skin contact to send the energy over, but when returning it, you also need to use the other person’s body to purify the energy and remove impurities—that takes time,” Yechacha explained softly. “How does time help purify and remove impurities?” Nameless didn’t quite understand and couldn’t help but ask. If it was too complicated, he feared he wouldn’t be able to learn it. “You don’t have to do anything—just let your body do the work,” Yechacha said, sensing Nameless’s concern. “Men and women have different constitutions, so the natural differences will naturally neutralize the aggressive energy within the energy.” “So what do you mean by ‘it takes time’?” Nameless was still confused. “It means that the process we went through last night needs to continue every day. It should last for seven times seven—forty-nine days—before the energy can be thoroughly purified and the impurities removed, allowing it to be returned to my body,” Yechacha said, sounding a bit embarrassed. The process from last night would have to continue every day for forty-nine days. Nameless didn’t know whether to be happy or frustrated—happy because he’d be embraced by a peerless beauty every night, but frustrated because, after all, it was such a long time. “You don’t want to?” Yechacha sensed Nameless’s hesitation. “Not at all—spending every night in the arms of a beauty is exactly what I’ve always wanted,” Nameless replied honestly, “but forty-nine days is a bit long.” “Hmph,” the Yechacha pouted, “It was supposed to be forty-nine days, but I don’t have that much time to spend with you. Plus, since you have no inner energy and are a virgin, your inner energy will purify faster. I estimate sixteen days will be enough.” Sixteen days seemed acceptable enough, and Nameless had no other choice. “So are we going to spend these sixteen days here, passing on the martial arts?” Nameless asked about the next steps. “No need. Where would you like to go next, Nameless Hero?” Yechacha asked him with a charming smile. “Back to Xiaoyao Valley,” Nameless replied. He didn’t know where else to go, so returning to Xiaoyao Valley was his first choice. The world was too chaotic; it was still best to be with his master and senior disciples. “Alright, then let’s go to Xiaoyao Valley together,” Yechacha said, surprising Nameless with her words. Was she planning to cause a ruckus at Xiaoyao Valley?
