Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Dual Essence Fruit

It all started yesterday night when Xiao\'er went to beg Li Rou to help make her useful. After pulling Xiao\'er into her bedroom, Li Rou pulled out something she had been hiding for a long time.

"Xiao\'er, do you know what this fruit is?" Li Rou asked.

Currently, Li Rou was pointing at an ordinary-looking pink fruit only the size of a tangerine. By ordinary, it meant that it wasn\'t currently exuding any Spiritual Qi whatsoever, but for some reason, just looking at it made the body of Xiao\'er heat up.

And waiting for the feeling to stop, Xiao\'er went over and closed the case while answering, "No, Mistress, I don\'t know what this fruit is. But the feeling it gave me felt like an aphrodisiac. Xiao\'er doesn\'t like it."

"No need to rush your opinions, Xiao\'er. Before you make an opinion, let me tell you what this does first." Li Rou spoke calmly.

Though Xiao\'er still felt a little apprehensive, she knew that Li Rou would never force her to do something she would never want. So she nodded and let Li Rou explain.

"This fruit right here is called a Dual Essence Fruit. Does that name ring a bell?" Li Rou asked.

But seeing Xiao\'er shake her head Li Rou knew she would have to explain what it was.

"Xiao\'er, you know what Dual Cultivation is, right?" Li Rou asked. But after seeing Xiao\'er blush, she knew her answer even without hearing the words of Xiao\'er.

"Then explaining the effect of this fruit will be simple. What it does is gives the person who eats it a special type of Physique. A Physique perfectly made for Dual Cultivation." Li Rou explained.

"The Physique is just like what the fruit is named after, called a Dual Essence Physique. It is a Middle Black Grade physique that leaves a strand of Pure Yang Qi and a strand of Pure Yin Qi within your Dantian. And after you give your purity up to a man, they gain a Pure Yang body Physique, while your body turns into a Pure Yin Physique."

"And since a Pure Yang Physique and a Pure Yin Physique harmonize so well, after that, every time you two Dual Cultivate together with Bai\'er, you\'ll receive four times the rewards with half the effort." Li Rou finished.

After she finished explaining, Li Rou sat down on her bed and waited for Xiao\'er to finish processing the information.

"Then, then, Mistress, you want me to eat this and become Young Master\'s Dual Cultivation Partner?" Xiao\'er asked as he could feel her head burning up.

Though the offer was good, the idea of it made Xiao\'er blush to the tips of her ears. Even if she would tease Xue Bai any chance she got, it didn\'t mean she was ready to do the act. The only reason Xiao\'er would do that was that she knew that she would give herself to Xue Bai eventually, so why not have some fun before then?

Of course, it wasn\'t because Xiao\'er was a loose woman who loved to seduce men. On the contrary, she was a chaste maiden who valued her purity more than her life, and if it were any other man, let alone tease them, Xiao\'er wouldn\'t even smile at them. So even if she was a vixen to Xue Bai, she knew nothing about that subject and was even extremely shy toward it.

Li Rou, somewhat understanding what was going in the maid\'s brain, nodded at her question. Li Rou knew Xue Bai would always have an extremely heaven-defying cultivation speed. But with a Dual Cultivation partner at his side constantly, his speed would increase even more.

And while Li Rou wanted both Xiao\'er and Xue Bai to be happy, life was cruel. So even though she knew that Xue Bai would always love Xiao\'er and never abandon her, she couldn\'t guarantee that Xiao\'er would always be needed in his life. But this fruit could not only reforge the potential of Xiao\'er but also could give her everlasting use in Xue Bai\'s life, making sure the maid would never be ignored.

The only cost was that Xue Bai would be exposed to the bird and the bees earlier than she had planned. But that wasn\'t much of a downside to Li Rou, who wanted Xue Bai to grow as fast as possible.

It was simply a win-win! Li Rou herself didn\'t want to eat the fruit, as her marriage with Xue Feng was more than plentiful, and the Yggdrasil Fruits were assisting their talent situation.

However, Xiao\'er was much worse off.

Though she had a High Yellow Grade Martial Vein and was one of the best talents in the Southern Continent, Li Rou knew from Xue Bai that the real competition would be in the Central Continent.

From Xue Bai\'s mouth, \'This is the starting area. I won\'t have many threats during my time here. As for potential rivals, there would be even fewer. And with my knowledge, any potential rival I would have, I\'m making sure to turn them into allies.\'

So the High Yellow Grade Martial Veins of Xiao\'er would only be helpful for a very short amount of time. And after arriving at the Central Continent, Xiao\'er would eventually become a useless vase at Xue Bai\'s side.

Unaware of Li Rou\'s thoughts, Xiao\'er had already mentally agreed. This fruit would give her everything she wanted while making her useful in the future. The only downside, if it could be called a downside, was that Xue Bai would constantly lust over her.

"I\'ll do it, Mistress! Xiao\'er wants to be useful!" Xiao\'er yelled out.

Proud of her, Li Rou stood up and looked at the maid with eyes full of pride.

"Good! But I can\'t help you with the absorption process as it happens within you slowly. After eating it, you\'ll fall into a small coma." Li Rou explained, but after seeing Xiao\'er turn pale from fright, she clarified. "You\'ll only be asleep for a day, not anything dramatic. And don\'t worry, I will check on you every few hours to make sure you\'re doing fine."

Sighing from relief, Xiao\'er felt relieved after she heard Li Rou\'s words. She thought that she would stay in a coma for months or years. But thankfully, it was only for a day.

Though it was inconvenient, a day-long coma was well worth the gains.

So taking that fruit and going to her room Xiao\'er steeled herself and ate it before going to sleep.

Where she was now, sweating out almost all of the liquid from her body. But soon as her coma hit the 12-hour mark, the smoldering heat she was feeling suddenly turned into a freezing cold.

Xue Bai sensing that, awoke from his cultivation state and looked over at her, confusion apparent in his eyes.

"What the hell? What\'s going with Xiao\'er?" Xue Bai mumbled. But his hands moved fast, and after he took the wet rag off of her head, he took out every blanket in his spatial ring and laid them on top of her.

Suddenly just as Xue Bai was going to return back to cultivating, a figure entered the room.

"Oh? Bai\'er, what are you doing here?" Li Rou spoke as she drifted in like a fairy.

Li Rou knew what would happen at the 12-hour mark and arrived as soon as she noticed. But to her surprise, her son was in the room, taking care of Xiao\'er.

"Mother? Wait, do you know what is happening with Xiao\'er" Xue Bai asked.

Since Li Rou had come in almost right after Xiao\'er started to freeze, Xue Bai assumed that it wasn\'t a coincidence, but Li Rou had a hand in it.

Smiling, Li Rou asked, "What if I do Bai\'er?"

"Then it must be a good thing. You love Xiao\'er almost as much as me. There is no way that you\'d harm her." Xue Bai answered matter of factly.

Li Rou, who was planning on masquerading as a villain to tease him, suddenly felt her son wasn\'t fun.

"Tsk! Playing along, Bai\'er. But yes, I am the one who did this." Li Rou spoke as she walked over to the side of Xiao\'er.

Running her hands through the hair of Xiao\'er Li Rou spoke of what she did yesterday with the maid.

Xue Bai stayed quiet throughout and slowly soaked up the information. But in the end, he didn\'t know what to feel.

Xiao\'er was doing this for him, but it was unnecessary, to say the least. Xue Bai, while he didn\'t have a plan for the problem of Xiao\'er yet. He knew that of everyone he knew, Xiao\'er had the least potential and was going to require an extremely high-ranking Natural Treasure to fix it.

Xue Bai had a few potential targets, but they were all in the Central Continent and far away from him currently. And if Xue Bai only fixed the talent of Xiao\'er so late, she would be too far behind him to ever catch up.

The Dual Essence Fruit did fix the problem, but the fact that it wasn\'t Xue Bai didn\'t fix it made him feel… weird.

Ever since he came into the Baishen Plane, it had been him changing the fates of people, but now having the fate of Xiao\'er changed by someone other than him made something in him feel… weird.

It was as if his car, without his permission, was taken and given a nice paint job. Sure it felt good, but it was his car. He should have had an opinion or at least done it himself. While his thought process made him sound like a control freak, that was necessary in a cultivation world.

If someone wasn\'t able to control the things around them, how could they be trusted to control the things away from themselves?

Li Rou sensing something was wrong, went over.

"Bai\'er, what are you thinking about? You look off right now." Li Rou asked gently as she crouched down to Xue Bai\'s height.

Not knowing if something odd was manifesting in himself, Xue Bai told Li Rou the truth.

However, Li Rou just laughed it off.

"It\'s fine, Bai\'er. If anything, that feeling is needed in a strong man. Xiao\'er was going to be your woman eventually. So my doing something to her without your permission was somewhat wrong on my part. But I didn\'t expect you to have such feelings for her already? She got you that bad?" Li Rou teased.

Blushing at her words, Xue Bai pushed the woman out of the room before she said anything more to embarrass him.
