6: Chapter 6: Wenyan's Inner Thoughts, Private Moments Between Husband and Wife

At the same time, Wen Yan had already returned to her room.

This was an independent courtyard located on the east side of the manor. The environment was quiet and elegant, and although the decoration was simple, it showed refinement everywhere.

Wen Yan kicked off the high heels on her feet and walked barefoot to the window. Looking at the darkening sky outside, her heart was somewhat unsettled.

"What has been wrong with me these past two days?" she whispered to herself.

Today, she had actually worn high heels to the dining room by some strange impulse—something that would have been completely impossible before.

She usually wore either training clothes or casual wear that was easy to move in.

High heels, a type of shoe worn purely for aesthetics, were something she hadn't touched for many years.

"Could it be... I really have feelings for that kid Lin Yun?" Wen Yan frowned. "That shouldn't be..."

She was a full twenty years older than Lin Yun and had watched him grow from a snot-nosed little brat into the young man he was now.

Although Lin Yun was indeed handsome and had a good personality, the gap between them was too large.

It wasn't just age; more importantly, it was their martial cultivation.

Wen Yan had been at the Second Rank Perfection for a long time, stuck at this Bottleneck for three years already.

Although the Lin family's resources were abundant, they could no longer meet the cultivation needs of a Martial Artist of her level.

She felt very at ease staying here, and the Lin family treated her well, like one of their own, but she knew she would have to leave sooner or later.

"I still need to continue on the path of martial arts. Staying here will only lead to stagnation."

"Once that girl Yingxue becomes a Martial Artist and can hold her own, it will be time for me to leave."

As for Lin Yun saying he would defeat her and then marry her?

Wen Yan shook her head, tossing that unrealistic thought out of her mind.

"His talent is so poor that he isn't even a Martial Artist. He'll live a hundred years at most."

"At the Second Rank, I have a lifespan of four hundred years. If I can Breakthrough to the Third Rank, I'll have eight hundred years."

"Marry him?"

"Forget it, I don't want to become a widow."

Wen Yan lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

But for some reason, Lin Yun's performance in the training room today surfaced before her eyes again.

That set of Fierce Tiger Fist was indeed played beautifully, much improved from before.

And when he came out of the Gravity Chamber, his blood-qi was clearly a notch stronger...

"Is it my imagination?" Wen Yan frowned. "No, it shouldn't be. He has indeed become stronger, and the change is very obvious."

But on second thought, Wen Yan felt relieved again: "Whatever, how much stronger can he get?"

"With that Foundation of his, no matter how much he practices, it's impossible to reach my level of cultivation. We are, after all, from different worlds."

Wen Yan closed her eyes, forcing herself not to think about these things anymore.

However, deep in her consciousness, the image of that young man seriously saying "I want to marry you" simply wouldn't go away.

Outside the window, night had completely fallen, and stars began to twinkle in the sky.

The lights in the manor lit up one by one, and the brightest one among them was precisely the bridal chamber of Lin Yun and Su Yingxue.

...

Su Yingxue was shy and wanted to turn off the light, but Lin Yun wouldn't let her.

Just as her hand reached for the switch of the bedside lamp, it was gently held by Lin Yun.

"Don't turn it off." Lin Yun's voice was exceptionally tender in the night. "I want to look at you."

"Husband..." Su Yingxue's face was flushed, incredibly delicate. "It's too bright..."

Lin Yun chuckled softly and pulled her back into his arms:

"Where is it bright? This brightness is just right. Let me take a good look at my wife."

After a bit of gentle "tugging," Su Yingxue finally gave in and had to follow her husband's wishes.

The moonlight was like water, casting their overlapping shadows onto the wall, rising and falling with their breathing.

She shyly turned her face away, only to be gently turned back by Lin Yun. As their eyes met, all her reserve melted into tenderness.

The lights in the bridal chamber didn't go out until late at night—

No!!!

To be precise, it was only when Lin Yun finally let go of Su Yingxue, who was already too tired to open her eyes, that he reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

The following days were spent like this.

During the day, the two followed Wen Yan to Cultivate martial arts in the training room.

Although Wen Yan didn't say it, she became increasingly diligent in guiding Su Yingxue.

She passed on many techniques and insights that even Lin Yun had never seen before without reservation.

The evenings were the private time for the husband and wife.

At first, Su Yingxue was a bit shy and couldn't let go, but under Lin Yun's gentle guidance, she slowly learned to respond and would even take the initiative occasionally.

The cooperation between the husband and wife became increasingly synchronized, and their feelings rapidly heated up in such intimate company.

Lin Yun's progress could be described as lightning-fast.

Taking one blood-qi pill every three days, combined with the Gravity Chamber and Fierce Tiger Fist, he could 100% absorb the medicinal power every time, and his blood-qi value increased steadily by 10 points.

Ten days later, when Lin Yun walked out of the Gravity Chamber again, Wen Yan personally tested him.

"88 points."

Wen Yan looked at the data on the screen, her eyes unable to hide her shock.

"Ten days, from 48 points to 88 points, a full 40-point increase... Kid, how exactly did you do it?"

Lin Yun wiped his sweat and grinned: "Maybe I had an epiphany after getting married."

Wen Yan stared at him for a long while before finally just shaking her head: "Forget it, everyone has their own Opportunity."

"But I must remind you, improving too fast is not necessarily a good thing. If your Foundation is unstable, you will suffer greatly in the future."

"I understand, Sister Wen Yan." Lin Yun nodded seriously. "So every time I improve, I spend time consolidating. I wouldn't dare to be reckless."

Only then did Wen Yan nod with satisfaction: "That's more like it."

On the other hand, Su Yingxue still hadn't taken any blood-qi pills during these ten days.

Every time Lin Yun urged her, she would smile and shake her head: "Husband, I still need to polish myself a bit more."

Even though she didn't take any Medicinal Pills, under the Lin family's superior dietary conditions...

With carefully cooked Yao Beast meat paired with various rare medicinal herbs every day...

Her blood-qi value still naturally increased by 2 points, reaching 90 points.

Under Wen Yan's guidance, her progress was equally significant.

Her Flowing Cloud Palm had already reached the level of absolute mastery, combining hardness and softness, with a chilling intent wherever the palm wind passed.

Her movement techniques had also improved greatly; now she could easily dodge over 80% of the rubber bullet attacks in the training room.

Late at night, the lights in the bridal chamber went out once more.

Su Yingxue snuggled in Lin Yun's arms, her cheek pressed against his warm chest, listening to that powerful heartbeat.

The afterglow of the exercise left her whole body limp and soft, not wanting to move even a finger.

Lin Yun's hand gently stroked her long hair as he asked once again:

"Yingxue, even Sister Wen Yan said your Foundation has been polished to Perfection. Why still not take the blood-qi pill?"

Su Yingxue's body stiffened slightly, wanting to brush it off as usual.

But when she looked up and met Lin Yun's bright eyes in the moonlight, those prepared excuses suddenly couldn't be spoken.

These eyes were too clear, too sincere, making her unable to bear deceiving him.

"Husband..."

Su Yingxue bit her pink lips, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"I... I want to wait until after I'm pregnant and have a child before taking the blood-qi pill to Cultivate."
