Chapter 713: Not Having Enough to Eat in Childhood
Qin You's face flushed red with embarrassment from Long Xiaoshan's teasing. She picked up a large shrimp and stuffed it into Long Xiaoshan's mouth, pushing him towards the door, "Alright, even with food, I can't keep your mouth shut, quickly take it out."
Smiling gleefully, Long Xiaoshan carried the plates out to the dining table.
He grabbed his bowl and began to eat heartily.
Qin You's cooking was very good; it really could grace a hall or satisfy a kitchen.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan eating so happily, a tender look appeared in Qin You's eyes.
From time to time, she would say "Eat slowly, no one is fighting you for it," yet her chopsticks kept adding more food to Long Xiaoshan's bowl.
Long Xiaoshan finished the entire pot of rice, three dishes, and a soup. After a satisfied burp, he leaned back on the sofa to rest. With his current level of cultivation, he naturally didn't need to eat so much ordinary food anymore.
But today, he had a very good appetite. Sometimes, eating was not just about nourishment; it was about the mood.
Qin You took the dishes and bowls to the kitchen to wash them, shaking the water off her hands as she walked back out.
Long Xiaoshan waved at her.
Qin You, a little flushed, came to the edge of the sofa and allowed Long Xiaoshan to pull her onto his lap. Long Xiaoshan wrapped his arms around her supple and strong waist and said, "Sis, let me help you with Qi-Induction!"
"Qi-Induction?"
"Yes, you haven't cultivated True Qi with the 'Spell Art of Dark Incantation of Cloud and Water' I taught you last time," Long Xiaoshan said, having already checked Qin You's body through their physical contact.
"Yeah, I've been quite busy afterward and haven't had much time to practice," Qin You admitted somewhat sheepishly.
"Don't worry, I'll help you!"
Last time, Long Xiaoshan hadn't helped Qin You with Qi-Induction because he lacked experience and didn't have Elixir Pills on hand. Now that he had guided many others, it was no longer a problem.
"But before that, let's talk about the Hidden Sects…" Long Xiaoshan started, still holding Qin You.
Qin You was in shock; she had not yet qualified to be exposed to these things.
The Hidden Sects Long Xiaoshan described were an entirely unknown world to others.
There, one could find Martial Dao Tongxuan experts, Wizard-Masters to control spells, and Wizards who commanded insects and used poisons.
"So, are you also a person of the Secret Sects?" Qin You asked.
"I'm not really one of the People of the Secret Sects, but my strength is not inferior to theirs," Long Xiaoshan said, his casual tone carrying a hint of pride.
As a Grandmaster and Divine Dragon, even among the Hidden Sects, one could be considered a mighty leader.
This aura of strong self-confidence emanating from within him inspired awe in Qin You's eyes.
After two months apart, her little man seemed to have gained a certain indescribable aura.
"Can I still learn? I heard that one must start practicing from childhood with a pure foundation. I'm almost thirty now," Qin You said.
"No worries, I will help you. Let's start now."
Long Xiaoshan was decisive by nature. He had already helped all his women with Qi-Refining, and naturally, he couldn't forget about Qin You. Moreover, Qin You's job entailed greater risk than the other women, so helping her with Qi-Induction to improve her abilities was also a way to protect her.
Long Xiaoshan led Qin You into the bedroom and asked her to take off her clothes and sit on the bed.
Qin You was not a shy person; her face turned a shade redder, but she quickly complied, sitting cross-legged on the bed as Long Xiaoshan instructed.
Long Xiaoshan took out Silver Needles and inserted them into Qin You's body.
This was his third time aiding someone with Qi-Refining.
And whereas the previous two times, he had assisted three people at once, this time focused solely on Qin You, making the process much simpler.
He quickly inserted Silver Needles into the meridian points all over Qin You's body and fed her an Elixir Pill…
Half an hour later.
Qin You's body shuddered, her lower abdomen slightly bulging as her Dantian opened up. A vortex of energy smoothly formed. Long Xiaoshan continued to help Qin You stabilize and then passed on the methods of cultivation.
Qin You learned quickly.
Much faster than the other women, perhaps due to her innate talent originating from her police academy training and early martial arts practice.
It didn't take much time for Qin You to master the circulation of her True Qi.
After Qi-Induction, the feeling of her body being transformed was a delightful surprise to Qin You. She could clearly notice her body had become much stronger than before. Not only was she physically stronger, but her senses also became sharper; she could even clearly see a caterpillar on a tree over ten meters outside the window.
It was an unprecedented sensation.
A pungent smell wafted through the air.
Qin You let out a soft exclamation when she noticed a layer of black grime on her body. Pinching her nose, she quickly ran into the bathroom.
