During the time when their soul qi was being extracted, Yuki and Chi had already lost consciousness. It was only when they were hit by the lightning that they suddenly woke up due to the unbearable pain before passing out again.
Fu Shi had the charred bodies moved to one of the side rooms so that they could heal. Because this was a game, the two had only fallen into a deep sleep. Soul Fusion Online used sleep to keep things that would cause extreme pain from affecting the player. A kind of fail safe, if you will. That was because things within Soul Fusion Online, even though the game dumbs the pain down to a certain extent, there were still times when events or incidents could cause more pain than could be filtered out. Like a low level cultivator being hit by heavenly lightning.
Fu Shi and Eternia stood by the bed that both Yuki and Chi laid on. Their clothes had long turned to ash from the lightning. Although it was armor that Fu Shi had personally made, it was not made to ward off the damage of heavenly lightning completely. But it was also because of this armor that they were able to keep their lives.
"Little Fu, what is this?" Eternia was flying over Yuki's crotch and landed on her thigh. She reached out with her little hands and flicked the elongated mushroom that laid limply between Yuki's legs.
Fu Shi looked over at Eternia and blushed. She had been trying to avoid staring at such a thing this entire time, but now this butterfly had to go and flick it and even cause her to look over at it! "Eternia, don't touch that!"
"No? Okay!" Eternia quickly lost interest and flew over to Chi, landing between the girl's breast, finding a comfortable spot, laid down, and closed her eyes to fall asleep. Fu Shi could only be thankful that Eternia was someone who lost interest in things quickly and would listen if asked not to do something. But at the same time, Eternia still did as she pleased, not caring about other things.
"Meow." Nergal let out a cry as he jumped up on the bed and laid down at the top of Yuki's head. During this entire time, even though he was on top of Yuki's head, Nergal never once got injured. Even Fu Shi was struck dumb when she saw the cat just lazing about as if nothing had happened.
It was not until a few days later in game time did Yuki open her eyes. "Hmm?"
*Ding!*

Yuki read the windows that had popped up in front of her with a beaming smile on her face. She never expected that being struck by lightning would allow her to gain these hidden skills. She actually had no idea that she was struck by heavenly lightning nor cared. It was only after she closed the windows and felt a slight breeze that she realized something was wrong.
"Umm… Why am I naked!?" Yuki yelled. Her loud voice causing the person next to her to stir.
"Hmm? Ryu?" Chi slowly woke up, her black hair sliding down her white silky smooth skin. It is not known if it was the white pills or the heavenly lightning, but Chi seemed much more beautiful than before. As Chi opened her eyes, she was met with an extremely handsome face whose cheeks were tinted red. Her eyes followed down the man's handsome face to this exposed chest and below that was …. "Mushroom?"
Chi rubbed her groggy eyes, and only then did her eyes widen, and her face turn bright red. "Why! Why! You naked!? Wait, why am I naked!? Did we!?"
Tears rolled down Chi's face as she dived into Yuki's embrace, causing Yuki to suddenly panic. "Wait, Chi, why are you crying!?"
"I wanted to remember my first time with you!" Chi let out a wail as she continued to cry. She wanted to experience her first time with her Ryu so she could imprint it in her memory forever but now…
Yuki could only hold the crying Chi in her arms, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Chi, it's fine we did not do anything. You don't need to cry."
"Huh?" Chi lifted her head and looked Yuki in the eyes. Her face gradually growing redder by the second. "I want to die!"
Yuki let out a laugh and hugged Chi tightly, letting the poor girl hide her embarrassment in her chest. She did not realize Chi's eyes were glued to a certain part of her body. "Ryu, do they all look like that?" Chi curiously reached out and poked Yuki's mushroom. "Wait, Chi!" Yuki yelled out.
"Ah! Sorry, I just.." Chi quickly retracted her hand.
"Ahem..." A cough came at their side. The two turned their heads to see Fu Shi standing there. Her body was back to how it was before. "Sorry to disturb you, but I suggest you wait until later. I will lay these clothes here for you two to get changed into. There is nothing special about them. They are just regular clothes."
"T-Thank you..." Yuki stuttered slightly. Fu Shi smiled and quickly left the room. "Let's get dressed."
"Mmm..." Chi wanted to hide her face. Fu Shi did not say anything, but they had no idea how long she had been standing there. She wondered if Fu Shi saw her poking Ryu's mushroom! "I really wish people would learn to knock..."
"I second that..." Yuki replied. First, it was Tina and now Fu Shi! Life really liked having people walk in on her and Chi when they were doing embarrassing things!
After getting dressed and sticking Nergal on her head, the two walked out of the room to find Fu Shi standing by the fountain, looking at the little butterfly floating gently in the air. "What happened to Eternia?" Yuki asked.
"She used too much power healing my soul force, so she will be in a slumber for a while." Fu Shi explained. She turned around and looked at Yuki and Chi. "You two are very lucky. If not for condensing my soul force into White Dew Pills, you would have both died. Because of that, I almost extinguished my entire existence, what is left of it anyway."
Yuki was confused. If they were on the verge of death, they could just respawn. She did not understand why Fu Shi went so far to save them. "I don't understand. Why would you go to such lengths?"
"Two reasons. First is because you have promised to help me enact my revenge, and second it is because the refining process needs time to take effect and can not do so unless you are alive. If you died, it would not have worked and may have caused this entire mystic realm to be destroyed. It would not just be the two of you dying, but Eternia and myself would be destroyed." Fu Shi explained. "But that is all in the past now. You two have officially become owners of this mystic realm and this palace. Everything here now belongs to you. Because you both are now the owners, you can teleport here at any time. You only need to send some soul qi into the small tattoos on your body. For Ryu, it is the lotus flower on your neck, and for Chi, it is the lotus flower on your wrist. I will now give you a proper tour of the palace. Please follow me."
