"Don't worry, Ling Feng, we'll all cherish our lives and won't act recklessly!"
Lin Siqi, always the gentlest, could always coax Ling Feng into softening his stance, no matter how stern he appeared.
Ling Feng nodded and then looked at Lin Shuainan, "You, come here!"
Lin Shuainan blinked in surprise and shuffled over to Ling Feng, then said cautiously, "Big Brother, please don't tell Xiuxiu about what happened before!"
Ling Feng furrowed his brow slightly, "What happened?"
"It's about me wiping my backside with pants! Those pants were bought for me by Xiuxiu, and I forgot... No, no, if it hadn't been for the suddenness of the situation, I definitely wouldn't have used those pants to wipe my backside!"
Lin Shuainan's face was flushed with embarrassment, and his attempt to explain looked more like an attempt to cover up.
Ling Feng was truly speechless. With a twitch of his lips, he said, "I couldn't be bothered to tell anyone about this. You're a grown man, stop doing such idiotic things in the future!"
"This... idiotic? Big Brother, you don't understand the little joys within this. It's truly endless fun! So many people in this world are just like everyone else, living lives that are copies of others. Look at me, I'm just imitating you, Big Brother. Although I'm becoming more and more like you, I will insist on my own things. I still want to live my own life!"
Lin Shuainan had a touch of smugness in his demeanor at this moment.
Ling Feng was genuinely exasperated. He smacked Lin Shuainan on the back of his head, "Don't you dare tell anyone you're like me. I'm nothing like your kind!"
Lin Shuainan clutched the back of his head, "Big Brother, I'm praising you. Didn't you hear that?"
Ling Feng's breathing became a little rapid. He had to admit that in front of this kid, he was always so easily flustered.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ling Feng resorted to his usual tactic.
When faced with such a situation, the best approach was to not continue this topic with Lin Shuainan!
*You praise me... I'll thank your whole family!*
Muttering this to himself, Ling Feng then said very seriously to Lin Shuainan, "Because you consumed the spiritual medicine earlier, your aptitude has improved significantly. This period is a crucial time for digesting the medicinal effects, so you must persevere in your cultivation, understand? I have some cultivation techniques here; you should try to cultivate them and comprehend them thoroughly!"
Lin Shuainan was stunned when he heard this. Looking at what Ling Feng handed him, the guy actually covered his mouth!
Ling Feng was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
Then he saw Lin Shuainan's eyes turn red. He looked up at Ling Feng, deeply moved, and nodded repeatedly, "Big Brother, you make it so difficult for me. I'm so touched. I know these cultivation techniques are very precious. Now that universal cultivation has begun, some of these things have been unearthed, but they are quite expensive!"
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. He truly hadn't expected that Lin Shuainan would become so sentimental now.
"Alright, cultivate well with what I've given you. Don't waste your talent, understand?"
Ling Feng shoved the items into his hands and earnestly instructed him.
Lin Shuainan quickly and reverently put the items away, then suddenly said to Ling Feng, "Big Brother, thank you. After I finish cultivating, what do you think... how much should I sell this for?"
*Slap, slap, slap!*
Ling Feng couldn't hold back anymore and delivered seven or eight consecutive slaps to the back of Lin Shuainan's head!
Lin Shuainan wailed and fled, "Ow, Big Brother, don't hit me! I know I was wrong. I definitely won't sell this for a low price. No, I'll find a destined person and sell it for a high price!"
Ling Feng didn't pursue Lin Shuainan further. This scoundrel was truly obsessed with money; all he saw was money, nothing else!
"Oh dear, Shuainan, why is the back of your head swollen? Did you get into a fight when you went out earlier?"
As Ling Feng returned to the group, he heard Xiuxiu's concerned voice from within.
Lin Shuainan, however, glanced back at Ling Feng.
Seeing Ling Feng glaring at him, Lin Shuainan immediately flinched and quickly turned to explain to Xiuxiu, "No, when did I ever get into a fight? I promised you, Xiuxiu, I wouldn't fight with people casually. This on the back of my head is... it was bitten by a huge mosquito!"
Xiuxiu widened her eyes in alarm, "But it's swollen so high! What kind of mosquito is that? It's too big!"
Ling Feng's mouth clearly twitched.
Lin Shuainan also saw this and directly pulled Xiuxiu aside, "Oh, don't ask so many questions. My back of the head is fine. Alright, Xiuxiu, my wife, let's go to bed!"
"You, it's still early. Why go to bed? You're so annoying, always thinking about such things!"
Xiuxiu's coy voice emerged, and everyone saw the blush on her face, which was truly adorable.
The others' gazes towards Lin Shuainan turned ambiguous.
Lin Shuainan knew Xiuxiu had misunderstood, but he didn't explain further, "What's there to be shy about? We're adults now, and we need to pick up the pace. Let's go, let's go..."
After Lin Shuainan dragged Xiuxiu away.
Tang Ru winked at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, is Shuainan's injury on the back of his head from you?"
The others all looked at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng didn't hide anything, "If it wasn't me, who else could it be?"
Upon hearing this, the others chuckled and shook their heads.
Lin Siqi couldn't help but advise Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, Shuainan is an adult now, and he's not alone anymore. If Xiuxiu finds out the truth about this, she might be unhappy!"
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. He hadn't intended to explain such things.
But he couldn't let them misunderstand him, could he?
He had originally planned to quietly give the cultivation techniques to Lin Shuainan and be done with it, so as not to make others have any ideas. But now it seemed his actions were completely unnecessary!
Ling Feng then said to them in a deep voice, "This kid deserved a beating. I gave him cultivation techniques, and he actually said he'd sell them back to me once he learned them. Can those be sold?"
The others were stunned.
Lin Siqi also shook her head with a wry smile, "So that's how it is. Then I'll say a word to Xiuxiu later. This Shuainan... hehe, he might actually sell the things!"
"Greedy fool!"
Tang Ru also spat out, clearly, everyone knew about Lin Shuainan's little habit!
Meanwhile, Ji Yunyue leaned closer, "Ling Feng, my master's condition is still stable, but I don't know when she'll wake up. I wanted to ask you, are there any other methods?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Well, there's nothing else to do now. I'll go take a look!"
With that, he turned back and instructed Guan Ya and the other, "You two, rest well and take care of Yilan. Her body has just recovered, and she still needs some time to integrate with the life-bound蛊 within her. I'll have tasks for you later!"
