After helping to settle the drunk Lin Yuhang, Li Mu then escorted Lin Hongluan and her daughter downstairs before returning to his own room.

After returning to his room, Li Mu used his spiritual power to dispel the alcohol from his body. Feeling that he still smelled of alcohol, he took a shower.

After changing into clean clothes, Li Mu took out his phone to charge, and then took out a few gold bars and a few pieces of jade.

He planned to forge several magical artifacts to give to Lin Hongluan and her parents.

Two hours later, Li Mu had crafted three gold-inlaid jade necklaces.

The necklace consisted of two thinner chains with a gold-inlaid jade pendant at the bottom, which was exquisitely crafted. It was a gift for Lin Hongluan and her mother.

A slightly thicker gold necklace, made up of sixty-six gold beads, was a gift for Lin Yuhang.

Holding the men's necklace, Li Mu mischievously thought of his father-in-law's imposing figure.

"Big gold chain, small watch, and a small barbecue every day."

He couldn't help but smile, a smile playing on his lips.

Besides the inherent nobility of gold, each bead of the necklace possesses an added spiritual charm after being infused with spiritual energy by Li Mu.

All three necklaces have a defensive effect at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, and they are made of gold so that the beads will not shatter after use.

After Li Mu put away the necklace and some unused jade stones,

After resting in the room for half an hour, it was around 7 p.m. when Lin Hongluan called.

.

Lin Yuhang was still drunk, while Han Bing, who had just learned the cultivation technique, was practicing at home with great enthusiasm.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Hongluan's parents, Li Mu and Lin Hongluan had a chance to be alone together.

When Li Mu saw Lin Hongluan again in the hotel parking lot, he felt that the distance between them had narrowed a bit.

Lin Hongluan went from feeling awkward when they met early in the morning to now choosing what's good to do, and they had more to talk about.

They started by talking about what to eat that evening, asking Li Mu what she wanted to eat, and then she began to say whatever she wanted to say.

She explained her family, talked about her schooling, and finally mentioned teaching her mother to cultivate herself.

Perhaps worried that Li Mu would blame her, Lin Hongluan spoke very carefully about teaching her mother cultivation, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Li Mu didn't care. He had already promised his father-in-law that he would cultivate, so having another mother-in-law wouldn't make much difference.

Upon hearing Lin Hongluan's account, Li Mu learned that her mother ran a beauty salon and wondered if he should entrust the production of the beauty pills to her.

After thinking it over, he decided to wait until he had dealt with the Huo family in Yunnan Province, the Chen family in Yanjing, and the sects that were hunting him down before making any further moves.

Otherwise, the Lin family, with its resources, wouldn't be able to maintain such immense wealth.

When the car arrived at Pozi Street, Li Mu followed Lin Hongluan out of the car.

This is where Lin Hongluan deliberately brought Li Mu to experience the delicacies of Xiangzhou.

.

Lin Hongluan led Li Mu to a restaurant called "Old Street Fish Mouth".

The shop's decor is very unique, like stepping back into the Republican era.

The red painted door and the furniture inside the shop exude a strong retro vibe, making you feel as if you've traveled back a hundred years.

After we were seated, dishes were quickly served one after another.

Spicy crayfish, a big bowl of fish mouth, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside stinky tofu, braised pig's trotters, kimchi, and cold noodles.

For two people, four or five dishes are not too many, but not too few either.

Lin Hongluan placed a fish mouth into Li Mu's bowl and suggested that he try it. Seeing Li Mu eating with relish, she felt very satisfied.

Once Li Mu started eating, he didn't stop.

With a beautiful woman by your side and delicious food before you, neither should be missed.

As a cultivator, I didn't have much of a need for gourmet food, but this flavor was just too addictive.

One word: "spicy"; two words: "addictive".

It must be said that Lin Hongluan is truly blessed to be born in Xiangzhou, a city famous throughout China for its cuisine.

Li Mu thoroughly enjoyed the dinner, and before parting ways, he gave the three necklaces he had made to Lin Hongluan.

As her chosen boyfriend, Lin Hongluan was no longer wary of Li Mu's gifts; she accepted them without hesitation.

In particular, since Li Mu said the necklace had defensive properties, Lin Hongluan was even less likely to refuse.

Even if not for myself, I have to accept it for my parents' sake.

.

After a night, Lin Yuhang sobered up and felt somewhat remorseful.

How could he get so drunk in front of his son-in-law on their first meeting? Isn't that too embarrassing?

I vaguely remember wanting to learn cultivation from Li Mu and even calling him brother. How presumptuous of me!

She still doesn't know how this prospective son-in-law will view her.

Fortunately, the ups and downs in his business over the past few years have toughened him up considerably, and he's become quite thick-skinned.

As a son-in-law, he's not exactly an outsider. After all, as his father-in-law, Li Mu shouldn't dare to laugh at him.

When Lin Yuhang arrived at the hotel restaurant, Li Mu, the little pig who had stolen his cabbage, was with his daughter.

How could the two of them start eating before their father-in-law? Even though it was a buffet breakfast, there should still be some rules to follow.

He had originally intended to put on airs in front of Li Mu, but after considering Li Mu's abilities, he couldn't bring himself to do so.

"Li Mu, if you have nothing else to do, stay in Xiangzhou a little longer. Let Luanluan show you around. I'm too old to accompany you."

Lin Yuhang carried a large plate to the couple's table. He quite approved of Li Mu as his son-in-law.

She even wanted to remind her daughter not to give anyone a hard time, because if she lost this rich husband, it would be very difficult to find someone better.

"Good morning, Uncle Lin! After we get back to your room, I'll teach you how to cultivate. If you have good martial arts talent, it won't take long."

Li Mu's main purpose in staying was, besides wanting to spend more time with Lin Hongluan to cultivate their relationship, to teach his father-in-law cultivation.

The father-in-law might feel embarrassed and could choose not to mention it, but as the younger generation, having already promised, I cannot leave it unsaid.

"Ah! We really do need to learn this!"

Lin Yuhang was actually a little embarrassed to bring up cultivation again.

One is that he's almost fifty years old, and if he tries to cultivate now, he probably won't be able to learn it.

Furthermore, one should not take seriously what a drunkard says.

.

"There is no order of precedence in learning the Way; those who attain it come first. Cultivation is also not limited by age; if you want to learn, then learn. As long as you have perseverance, it is never too late."

Li Mu encouraged Lin Yuhang, saying that he was about the same age as his second uncle and that if he wanted to learn, it wouldn't be a problem.

At most, I can help myself regulate my meridians. If I can't cultivate immortality, I can always cultivate martial arts.

"As for cultivation, I'd like to learn it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to. Maybe I should just give up."

Lin Yuhang thought about it and decided to give up. It would be even more embarrassing in front of his son-in-law if he couldn't learn it.

Li Mu was speechless. He thought to himself, "You were the one who asked to learn, and now you don't want to learn anymore. Are you kidding me?"

He couldn't persuade her any further, so he could only look at Lin Hongluan to see what she thought.

"Dad, why don't you give it a try? What if you learn it? Mom has already started practicing. Do you think you can lose to her?"

Since Li Mu wanted to teach, Lin Hongluan really hoped that her father could cultivate, at least to have more ability to protect himself.

"What? Bing'er can cultivate? You mean your mother can cultivate?"

Lin Yuhang was very surprised and immediately asked his daughter the same question.

I heard that if a woman can cultivate herself, it shouldn't be too difficult. So I might actually be able to cultivate myself.

This time, there was no need to persuade him; he had already maxed out his interest level.

"How about I try to learn it? If I can't learn it, you two can't laugh at Dad!"
