When Tang Baozhu finished absorbing the spiritual energy and opened her eyes again, it was already the early morning of the third day.
There was no way around it; Brother Xu gave her too much at once, so it took her several times longer to digest the spiritual energy in her body than before.
Unfortunately, he was still just a little short of breaking through to the Golden Core stage. Last time, he felt like he was about to break through, but after absorbing so much spiritual energy, he only made the spiritual energy in his body a little more solid, and there was no sign of breaking through at all.
However, it's good to be a little more solid, as it can be considered as laying a solid foundation. Tang Baozhu knew that it must be because she hadn't reached the opportunity to break through yet. Once she reached that opportunity, it would be easy for her to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Fortunately, she is still young and there is no rush. She is only in her twenties and can live to be over a hundred years old.
When Tang Baozhu woke up, she was all alone, and she felt a little uncomfortable because she didn't see Xu Rui. She had a feeling that he didn't care about her.
After coming out of the house, I saw some movement in the kitchen. When I went in, I found Xu Rui cooking in the kitchen.
The cooked food was packed into boxes he made himself. Next to him, a wooden bucket specifically for collecting trash was already overflowing with various discarded vegetable leaves.
Several large buckets were full, which showed that he must have cooked a lot of food. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to clean up the mess. Although it was just a fireball spell, it showed that he had been cooking day and night for the past two days.
The slight discomfort I felt earlier vanished instantly. "Honey, are you tired?"
Xu Rui, who was busy at work, was stunned by the word "darling". Usually, she would not even call him "husband" when he called her. She would only call him "husband" when she was exhausted at night. He never expected her to call him "darling" today. He immediately forgot about the food in the pot, picked up his wife and spun her around.
"Ah, turn slower, I'm dizzy."
Tang Baozhu was glad that the kitchen was spacious enough for him to hold her and spin her around without any worries, but the speed was a bit too fast, and she felt dizzy.
Upon hearing that his wife was dizzy, Xu Rui quickly put her down. "How are you? Are you alright? It's my fault for getting too excited. I couldn't control myself and made you feel unwell."
"It's alright, as long as you stop, it's fine. Why did you suddenly decide to cook so much food? That must be tiring. You haven't stopped for the past two days, have you? Are your hands sore? Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Although Xu Rui wanted to enjoy his wife's skills and see if her massage was comfortable, he decided against it to avoid tiring her out.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. I just saw that you were cultivating and wouldn't wake up for a while, so I thought I'd make some dishes to stock up on. When you want to eat, you can just take them out and eat them. I was also worried that I would be too busy to cook for you, so I made a lot at once. Anyway, I quite like making these things."
Tang Baozhu looked at him; there wasn't a single drop of sweat on his face. He must not be tired at all. After all, he was a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, so his physical strength must be very strong. For him, cooking for two days was just a piece of cake.
He wouldn't be afraid even if it took 20 or 200 days, but he was still very happy to hear his wife care about him so much.
Xu Rui is happy just thinking about the meals his wife eats every day, which he cooks himself. He is particularly willing to do these things. Originally, he was indifferent to cooking and didn't have much interest in it, but as long as he thought about cooking for his wife, he became very interested.
Tang Baozhu saw that he really enjoyed making it, so she didn't say anything more. Although both of them had already fasted and were indifferent to food, he liked to cook for her, so she would stop fasting and just eat every day.
"Are you still going to cook now? I'll cook with you, and I can help out a little."
"I'm not making any more. You've already finished your cultivation, so what am I supposed to do? I only made some dishes because I was a little bored while you were cultivating, to pass the time. But it's already quite a lot, enough for you to eat for a year or two. When we go to the seaside, we'll catch some more sea creatures for you so you can have a change of pace."
Xu Rui felt that he wasn't crazy. His wife didn't need to cultivate anymore, so why would he let her spend time struggling in the kitchen with him? He thought it would be better for her to go out for a walk, relax, and strengthen their relationship.
"Didn't we say we'd only stay for two days and then leave? Two days have already passed, haven't they? Why don't we talk as we go?"
Anyway, she didn't want to stay here any longer. No matter how refined a man may be during the day, he can turn into a beast at night.
She didn't want to experience that near-death feeling again; she needed to rest for a few days first.
Although Xu Rui was a little reluctant to leave so soon, he figured if his wife wanted to leave, then let her go. He also knew that he might have scared her a bit, and he couldn't let her run away. He blamed himself for being too unrestrained in his feelings and not controlling himself.
After tidying up the kitchen a bit, the two of them came out and looked at the red lanterns and red ribbons hanging in the yard. They felt that they actually looked quite nice hanging there.
Tang Baozhu felt that her mindset had changed; she was in a bright mood and felt happy seeing these things.
As Xu Rui stepped out of the courtyard, he made a hand seal, and the entire courtyard instantly shrank until it was the size of a palm before he put it away.
Then they took out a spaceship from their storage ring, which instantly grew larger, and the two of them flew directly inside.
When Tang Baozhu first started flying, Xu Rui had to guide her, but now she's gradually gotten used to it and can fly directly to the spaceship on her own.
Tang Baozhu stood at the edge of the spaceship. The spaceship slowly began to rise into the air, and the forest below gradually shrank until it could no longer be seen. Only then did she walk into the house inside the spaceship.
She opened the door and went inside. She turned around to close the door, but Xu Rui was following behind her, which startled her for a moment.
Fortunately, she quickly realized that since they were already together, it didn't seem to matter if they lived in the same house.
They quickly ushered him in, then closed the door. The two sat down on the stools, and Xu Rui specially took out some snacks from his storage space.
Tang Baozhu felt particularly impressed with him, as he could control the spaceship to fly towards its destination while chatting and laughing with her.
