20: Chapter 20 Gentle Beauty, Shen Youqing

Lin Yun felt moved in his heart. He then held Su Yingxue tightly: "To have such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for..."

Su Yingxue hugged him back and said tenderly: "Because I love my husband too. I hope my husband is happy, and I hope my husband realizes all his dreams."

The two embraced quietly, the atmosphere in the room warm and sweet. But gradually, the mood began to change.

Su Yingxue's soft body pressed against Lin Yun, her warm breath spilling onto his neck.

Her faint, natural fragrance mixed with the scent from their recent exertion, creating a unique and heart-racing aroma.

Lin Yun's breathing gradually became heavy.

He felt his wife in his arms trembling slightly, her body growing hotter and hotter.

"Husband..."

Su Yingxue's eyes were glistening with moisture, her lips slightly parted.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the air, which had already faded, began to intensify once again.

Lin Yun lowered his head and kissed her. This kiss was no longer gentle but carried a clear sense of possessiveness.

He murmured against her lips: "Are you still able to..."

Su Yingxue panted and said: "Be careful... it is okay..."

These words became the final permission.

Lin Yun did not hesitate anymore, turning over and gently pressing her beneath him.

This time, his movements were exceptionally gentle and cautious, fearing he might hurt her and the baby in her womb.

Su Yingxue cooperated by wrapping her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear:

"Husband... leave tomorrow's matter... to me... you just need to... cooperate..."

"Alright..." Lin Yun promised by her ear, "I will listen to my wife..."

Moonlight spilled in through the gap in the curtains, shining on their intertwined figures.

But this time, Lin Yun was exceptionally careful and exceptionally gentle.

He constantly paid attention to Su Yingxue's reactions; whenever she showed the slightest sign of discomfort, he would immediately slow down his rhythm.

And Su Yingxue was also exceptionally engaged and passionate.

She responded to her husband's love in her own way, and used her actions to tell him: She really did not mind him marrying another woman, as long as he was happy.

That night, the lights in the bridal chamber remained on for an exceptionally long time.

But this time, beneath the lights, it was not merely a release of desire, but proof of two hearts tightly connected.

A wife willing to scheme for her husband to take a second wife.

A husband willing to restrain his desires for his wife.

All of this stemmed from love.

The next morning, the sun was bright.

The couple walked hand in hand, strolling through the campus of Jiangcheng No. 2 High School.

It was currently summer vacation, so the campus was empty, with only a few scattered students walking around.

Those were the outstanding students with excellent grades who had been granted the qualification to use the martial arts equipment during the summer break.

"No. 2 High School is much better than our No. 4 High School."

"Our school doesn't even have a Gravity Chamber; we can only use the most basic training equipment." Su Yingxue said softly.

Lin Yun looked around.

In Jiangcheng's middle schools, martial arts equipment was generally backward. Advanced equipment like a Gravity Chamber, even in a key school like No. 2 High School, could only reach a maximum of two times gravity.

Meanwhile, at Lin Family Manor, the highest-ranking Gravity Chamber could reach one hundred times gravity.

That was built specifically for Wen Yan.

This was the gap in resources and class.

The agreed time was ten o'clock in the morning, to meet in a martial arts classroom.

At nine-fifty, the two found that classroom.

Pushing open the door, a figure was standing by the window with their back to them.

Hearing the movement, the person turned around.

Lin Yun's first impression was—gentle.

Shen Youqing was wearing a light blue casual outfit today; the upper body was a slim-fit short-sleeved shirt, and the lower body was an A-line skirt that went past her knees, simple and elegant.

Her hair was tied into a low ponytail, with a few strands of hair naturally falling in front of her forehead, making her face look even softer.

Her features were not as brilliant and dazzling as Su Yingxue's, nor as heroic as Wen Yan's, but rather possessed the typical gentle beauty of a woman from the Jiangnan water towns.

Her eyebrows were curved, her nose bridge was elegant and straight, and her lips were neither thick nor thin, with corners of her mouth naturally curved slightly upward, making her seem approachable even when she wasn't smiling.

But what was most striking was her temperament.

It was an air of scholarly refinement that permeated from her bones.

Standing there, she was like a delicate ink wash painting, quiet and beautiful.

"Classmate Yingxue, you're here."

Shen Youqing smiled slightly, her voice soft and pleasant.

She noticed Lin Yun beside Su Yingxue, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Teacher Youqing, this is my husband, Lin Yun."

"Husband, this is Teacher Shen Youqing." Su Yingxue introduced them proactively, her tone very natural.

After the introduction, she added:

"My husband is a Middle Stage Rank 1 Martial Artist. I heard that Teacher Youqing has some confusion regarding her Cultivate, so he specially accompanied me here, hoping to be of help."

Shen Youqing was clearly surprised.

She hadn't expected Su Yingxue to be married so young—she looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.

But her good upbringing kept her from asking more, and she just nodded politely:

"Mr. Lin, hello. You two are truly a match."

Lin Yun sighed slightly in his heart.

The way Shen Youqing looked at him was completely the look of someone looking at a stranger; clearly, she had no impression of him at all.

"Hello, Teacher Shen." Lin Yun responded politely.

After the pleasantries, the three found a place to sit.

Su Yingxue took the initiative to start the conversation: "Teacher Youqing, I heard you are currently attempting to Breakthrough to a Rank 1 Martial Artist?"

Shen Youqing nodded, a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes:

"Yes, but I have been stuck at 98 points of Qi and blood for three months. I have been unable to Breakthrough that barrier and cannot sense the Universe energy."

As she spoke, she took a notebook out of her bag, densely recorded with problems encountered during Cultivate.

At first, she was reserved, only asking some basic questions.

But as Lin Yun and Su Yingxue answered, she discovered that this couple's insights far exceeded her expectations.

Especially Lin Yun; although young, his understanding of the Martial Dao was terrifyingly profound.

Many problems that had troubled her for a long time, he could point out the key to in just a few words.

Gradually, Shen Youqing's questions became more numerous and deeper.

She completely forgot her reserve and was completely immersed in the martial arts exchange.

Seeing this, Su Yingxue quietly stepped aside, handing full control to Lin Yun.

Under his guidance, the subsequent exchange became a one-sided instruction from Lin Yun to Shen Youqing.

When talking about the Martial Dao, Lin Yun also became completely immersed.

He himself had once been a martial arts Trash with terrible talent, and he empathized with people like Shen Youqing who had average talent but pursued the Martial Dao diligently.

He patiently answered every one of her questions, even personally demonstrating certain key movements.

"Sensing Universe energy does not rely on brute force."

"It relies on the 'heart'." Lin Yun said earnestly.

"You need to empty yourself, let your body naturally attract those energy particles, rather than forcing them into your body."

Shen Youqing was lost in thought:

"But... I have tried many times, and I always cannot sense it..."

"That is because you are too anxious."

"Relax, take a deep breath. Come, close your eyes now, and follow what I say."

Shen Youqing closed her eyes as instructed.

Lin Yun stood beside her, guiding her softly:

"First adjust your breathing... yes, that's it... now imagine yourself as a tree, with roots anchored in the earth, and branches reaching toward the sky..."

His voice was gentle and magnetic, and Shen Youqing relaxed completely without realizing it.

She felt an unprecedented tranquility, and the surrounding world seemed to have gone quiet.

Then, she "saw" it—those light particles floating in the air.

"I... I saw it!" She opened her eyes excitedly.

"Although it was only a little bit, I really felt it!"

Lin Yun smiled: "Very good. Being able to perceive it the first time means you have already succeeded halfway."

"Remember this feeling; in the future, every time you Cultivate, first let yourself enter this state."

Shen Youqing nodded vigorously, her eyes full of gratitude:

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. This is much better than me fumbling around on my own for the past few months."

The two talked more and more enthusiastically, from Cultivate methods to Combat Technique application, from Qi and blood control to combat experience.

Shen Youqing completely forgot about the time, and Lin Yun also temporarily forgot the "real purpose" of this meeting.
