When Li Chang'an came out to eat, supporting his back, it was already noon the next day.

As he watched the dishes being served, his mind went blank. When Lin Dongdong came over to greet him, he responded mechanically.

For a whole day and night, he didn't stop, staying in the room the whole time, holding Youchu and Luoyang and studying life.

Sometimes it's two people doing the research, sometimes it's three people doing it.

As for the content of the research, Li Chang'an had already forgotten it.

All he remembered was the madness of Luoyang and Youchu's shyness.

Sitting at the dinner table, Li Chang'an looked at his two wives with rosy complexions and thought that this was how his life would be from now on.

What woman is she? She's all just fleeting.

Of all the things I do, fishing is still the most fun.

Li Chang'an made a decision: after dinner, he would invite Zhang Jiadi and He Qiang to go fishing in the moat.

After all the dishes were served, he was just about to eat when he saw a woman in a red robe, with a cold demeanor and an arrogant expression, walking towards him.

Looking at the woman, he was puzzled and turned to ask Youchu.

"Is this the new maid in the house? She looks quite pretty."

The beautiful woman paused for a moment when she heard his question.

Then he turned around and looked behind him, only to find that there was no one else behind him. Then he realized that he might be the one being talked about.

She immediately looked aggrieved, pouting as she said, "Master, are you talking about me?"

Upon hearing the word "master," Li Chang'an felt as if thunder had struck him.

"Holy crap, Xiao Ping An!"

Startled, he stood up and walked to Su Xiao's side, looking her up and down. "Wait, I've only been gone for half a year, how come you've grown so much?"

Looking at his apprentice, who was about the same height as him, he fell into doubt.

Have we been eating pig feed lately?

"I remember you were only eight years old, right?"

"How did you grow so big?"

"You fucking eight years old?"

The quick-witted and brave Lin Dongdong immediately grasped the key point after hearing her brother-in-law's words.

"Pig feed, what is that? Is it tasty, brother-in-law?"

"Stop messing around, let me calm down."

Looking at Su Xiao in front of him, Li Chang'an felt that he might be suffering from kidney deficiency, which was causing him to hallucinate.

Su Xiao has completely changed. She is now 1.7 meters tall and has legs that are longer than Lin Dongdong's life.

Her chest was about the same size as Luoyang's, and coupled with her red robe and aloof demeanor, she was definitely a mature and sophisticated woman.

If it weren't for the wine gourd at her waist, Li Chang'an would never have believed that this aloof and icy beauty was actually his disciple.

Seeing the drastically changed Su Xiao, he turned and called the silly girl over.

"What's wrong with my apprentice?"

"How did it suddenly get so big?"

Silly Girl looked at Su Xiao and then said, "Master, ever since you used your sword to drive away the rain last time, the cells in your disciple's body have started to become more active."

"Her growth rate is more than ten times that of others, so although more than a year has passed, in her metabolism, it has been more than ten years."

"In addition, the cultivation techniques she practiced with the mistress of Luoyang further stimulated her growth, which led to this situation."

After hearing these words, Li Chang'an became nervous.

"Does that mean my apprentice only has ten years to live?"

Silly Girl shook her head: "I can't detect it. There's something inside my little master's body that I can't understand, protecting her, so I can't detect it."

Looking at her master's appearance, Su Xiao's eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Master, do you not want me anymore?"

"I can eat less so I won't grow this big. Please don't abandon me."

Looking at Li Chang'an, Su Xiao felt somewhat aggrieved.

She felt that she might have grown too old and her master no longer liked her.

The thought that her master no longer wanted her filled Su Xiao with sadness.

It felt like I had lost the whole world.

Seeing her pitiful look, Li Chang'an quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Silly child, what are you saying?"

"Your master is worried about you. You're growing too fast, which will affect your health."

“How could your master not want you? When your master took you as his apprentice, he said that as long as his master had food to eat, he would give you food to eat.”

"Even if your master starves to death, he will still give you this meal. How could he possibly refuse you?"

Seeing Xiao Ping'an's cautious demeanor return, Li Chang'an finally believed that this was his own disciple.

As everyone took their seats, Li Chang'an kept looking Su Xiao up and down, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But he couldn't remember where he had seen that face before.

He stopped thinking about it when he couldn't figure it out. He'd seen so many suggestive videos in his past life; maybe they were just similar.

After quickly eating a few bites of rice, before Luoyang woke up, Li Chang'an said goodbye to Lin Youchu and left the palace.

If we don't leave now, it will probably be another day and night.

Seeing her husband flee in disarray, Lin Youchu covered her mouth and chuckled.

She was no longer that naive young girl; she could easily see through her husband's thoughts.

Thinking of the absurdity of last night, Youchu couldn't help but blush.

"Bad people, they just bully me!"

After Li Chang'an left, Luo Yang and Miao Qingqing, who had the daily routine of college students, arrived late.

Where is my husband?

Before he could even sit down, Luo Yang frowned and asked where Li Chang'an had gone.

Youchu looked at her and said with a smile, "My husband said he's going fishing and he probably won't be back until tonight."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang pursed his lips and said, "He'll probably go to sleep in the study again tonight."

"Yesterday he was saying he wanted to salvage his manly dignity, humph!"

"It's a good thing he ran fast, otherwise, hehe."

Holding the fishing rod, Li Chang'an felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly called Sha Niu and fled the palace as if running away, wandering around Tai'an City.

The city of Tai'an is now more than half completed.

The inner city is already habitable, while the residential areas surrounding the city center are still under expansion.

Looking at the workers still busy at work, Li Chang'an smiled with satisfaction.

"After I left, did anything strange happen in the capital?"

"No, Master."

"After you left, Zhang was basically in charge of maintaining order in the capital and Tai'an City, and your student Zhao Hu was in charge of the security of both cities."

"They don't know you're back yet. Should I let them know?"

Li Chang'an thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, don't tell them yet. I'll try my hand at going on an incognito visit."

"Let's see how the people are doing during the time I'm away."

"So that these people won't go astray after I'm gone."
