After landing at the villa, Xu Chen settled Wang Li on the sofa in the living room. A quick scan with his divine sense revealed Qin Ziyue's presence. He rushed out to hail a taxi and soon arrived at the police station. The guard asked what brought him there, and Xu Chen smiled and said, "I'm here to see Miss Qin." The guard then gave Xu Chen a knowing look. "Oh, so you're Captain Qin's boyfriend? All the young guys in the unit have been wilting over you lately. Now that I've met you in person," the guard said. Xu Chen nodded, watching the young officers leaving get off work, and even the female officers who overheard his conversation with the guard turn pale. Xu Chen once again marveled at the senior officer's charm, "He's irresistible to both men and women." A moment later, Qin Ziyue walked out of the building, and the two left together.
"Did you pick this?" Qin Ziyue looked constipated as she gazed at the flower in the white jade box on the table. Xu Chen nodded and asked, "Do you think this is suitable?" Qin Ziyue said, "If you leave it like this, its effectiveness will probably only last a few hours. Luckily you asked me, otherwise this flower would be ruined." She took out spirit stones from her storage bag and arranged a small spirit-gathering array around the flower. "Now its effectiveness can last for about seven days." Xu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, is this spiritual herb enough for Wang Li to refine her body and strengthen her bones?" Qin Ziyue nodded, still asking doubtfully, "You just went to find it, and you found it so quickly?" Xu Chen was also puzzled. "I don't know either. It was like it was waiting for me there. As soon as I scanned it with my divine sense, its spiritual energy resonated with mine." "What a lucky guy, but the spiritual power of this flower..." "I don't know if that's enough." Then Qin Ziyue took out a manual and said, "Oh, follow the instructions in this book." Xu Chen opened the book, which contained many different positions. "Dual cultivation? Senior, you said you've made up for your knowledge in this area, so this is it?" Xu Chen sighed helplessly. Qin Ziyue's pretty face flushed slightly. She turned around and said, "This was given to me by my unlucky third uncle. He said that this book, along with himself, is the best gift to give to a male cultivator you like. You should try it. One of the chapters mentions using the male cultivator's primordial yang energy to nourish the female cultivator, balancing the yin and yang energies in her body. As for this spiritual herb, soak it in pure spring water. You two, in this water..." Qin Ziyue trailed off, a little embarrassed. Xu Chen felt awkward listening to her. Seeing Qin Ziyue leave, Xu Chen fell into deep thought.
The next morning, Xu Chen woke Wang Li, "Lili, wake up." Wang Li opened her eyes groggily, "Xu Chen, aren't we at the foot of the mountain? Where is this? The capital? Are we back again?" Xu Chen nodded and said directly, "We might have to postpone our return home for two days." Wang Li sat up and asked, "What happened?" Xu Chen leaned over and whispered in Wang Li's ear what Qin Ziyue had told him. As she listened, Wang Li's cheeks grew redder and redder. Finally, she pulled the blanket over herself. After waiting a while, Wang Li whispered shyly, "Okay." With permission, Xu Chen picked up Wang Li and carried her to the bathroom. He removed Wang Li's last covering and took off his own clothes. After locking the door, he entered the bedroom. In the bedroom, Xu Chen picked up the snow lotus and placed it in the bathtub. He infused the water with his spiritual power, and the two embraced in the water. Xu Chen opened the cultivation manual and looked at the one Qin Ziyue had mentioned. He pulled Wang Li along, awkwardly yet excitedly, to memorize the postures. Then he tossed the manual onto the dressing table and began cultivating with Wang Li. After a long while, Wang Li's eyes became increasingly hazy, her pretty face flushed, and after a soft cry, she completed her transformation from a girl to a woman. At the same time, the spiritual energy in the water began to enter Wang Li's body. Wang Li felt her body becoming lighter and warmer, and all her previous ailments disappeared without a trace. The spiritual energy flowed back and forth in her muscles and bones, helping her to remove impurities.
A day later, the two finally stopped this state. Xu Chen scanned Wang Li's body with his divine sense. "Not bad, the tempering was very thorough." Wang Li covered her face as if she couldn't face Xu Chen. Xu Chen pried Wang Li's hands away, looking at her with a half-smile. Wang Li hurriedly said, "Chenchen, you're so naughty." After a while, she said with some worry, "Xu Chen, we didn't use protection. I won't get pregnant, will I?" Xu Chen shook his head. "No, in fact, after you become an immortal, it will be very difficult for us to conceive." Wang Li's face turned pale, and she exclaimed, "Ah, why? I don't want this!" The life she longed for was to live an ordinary life with Xu Chen, like most ordinary couples, with the mundane things of daily life, busy and fulfilled for their children and family. Even though Xu Chen said he wanted her to become an immortal, it didn't deviate from her inner thoughts. "It's just about living a longer life. I won't be fighting like in the movies. The key is that I can stay young forever." That's what she used to think. Hearing Xu Chen say this, she was a little taken aback. Xu Chen quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Lili, I have a way, I have a way." Hearing Xu Chen's reply, Wang Li regained her composure. "Really, Xu Chen?" Xu Chen nodded, then, as if remembering something, said with a half-smile, "Lili, I really didn't expect you to want to have a baby with me so much." Upon hearing this, Wang Li's expression became unnatural. "You must have misheard! That's not true!" Xu Chen smiled, and Wang Li rolled her eyes at him. She got dressed and left the bathroom. Xu Chen pulled her into the study and made her sit down. "Lili, stay here and don't move. I'll take care of this fish." Li sat down, bewildered. Xu Chen entered the spirit-gathering array, grabbed the fish from the jade bucket, and then his spiritual power surged, forming blue spiritual flames in his hands. The fish instantly died in the intense heat of the flames. Xu Chen beckoned to the stunned Wang Li, who instinctively stepped into the array. Xu Chen said, "Lili, eat this fish." Wang Li nodded blankly, grabbed the fish, and put it in her mouth. As soon as the fish entered her mouth, it transformed into streams of pure spiritual power that flowed into her stomach. Wang Li's expression was one of extreme pain, which pained Xu Chen greatly. Soon after, she couldn't bear the pain and fainted. Xu Chen held her in his arms, gently stroking her body repeatedly.
"Xu Chen, what just happened to me?" Wang Li struggled to sit up. Xu Chen said, "I was expanding my meridians. Okay, Lili, I'll teach you a mantra. Change into a meditation posture, calm your mind, and try reciting it silently." Wang Li did as he was told. For the next few days, Xu Chen protected Wang Li and brought her meals, hoping she would successfully guide her qi into her body, even though, based on his own experience, it was impossible in less than several years, or even decades. But what if? Xu Chen thought with hopeful anticipation.
