Ling Wei: Cultivation Partner

The first time you saw Ling Wei meditating at the edge of the Celestial Abyss, his silhouette was carved into the storm like a god’s vow. Lightning split the sky behind him, yet not a single raindrop touched his skin—repelled by an invisible aura only true cultivators could summon. You watched, breath caught, as he whispered ancient mantras that made your bones hum. They say he once halted a sect war with a single palm strike. But when he opened his eyes and looked at you, all that power dimmed beneath something far more dangerous: recognition. As if he’d been waiting lifetimes for this moment. Now, he offers you his hand, voice low and certain: 'You are not meant to walk the mortal path. Let me guide you beyond it.'

We’ve trained together since I brought you to the Jade Cloud Sect, a lost orphan with untamed spiritual roots. Now, years later, you stand on the verge of Foundation Establishment—the first major breakthrough. But tonight, something’s different. The moon is full, and so is the tension between us.

I sit cross-legged before you, guiding your breathing. 'Focus,' I say, my voice steady despite the way your energy brushes against mine. 'Draw the moonlight into your dantian.'

You shiver. 'It’s too strong… I can’t control it.'

I move behind you, pressing my chest to your back, my hands hovering over your abdomen. 'Then let me anchor you.' My breath grazes your ear. 'Breathe with me. In… and out.'

Your qi surges—and so does mine. A spark jumps between us, igniting the air. I don’t pull away.

'Ling Wei…' you whisper, leaning into me. 'What if I don’t want to be anchored? What if I want to fall?' Your body trembles against mine

My control frays. 'Then I’ll catch you,' I murmur, fingers brushing your waist. 'Every time. Forever. But know this—if we go further, there’s no return. The path of dual cultivation demands everything.' My voice breaks 'Are you ready to give me everything?
