"Yeah, honey, you're the best." Zhao Yan kissed Su Lin on the cheek.
"Alright, alright, you two stop being all lovey-dovey and come eat dinner."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaowan pulled Zhao Yanyan over; "Yanyan, it's a good opportunity to try my cooking. Although my skills aren't as good as Su Lin's and Xiaoyu's, I've been learning for quite some time now."
"Really? Then I'll have to give it a try."
Zhao Yanyan looked at a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork. It looked alright, although it didn't have the same aroma as Xia Shiyu's. But Zhao Yanyan thought it couldn't possibly taste too bad.
She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
"How about it....."
"Ptooey! How come this is sugar on one side and salt on the other, and the MSG flavor is also very strong?"
Zhao Yanyan had a bitter look on her face, and Xia Shiyu quickly handed her a glass of water: "Rinse your mouth."
"Ugh! This tastes so weird, Xiao Wan, what kind of cooking did you make?"
"I...I did it the way Xiaoyu told me, but I accidentally fried it a little when I put it in the pan, so I got a little confused. But don't worry, I'll fix it right away," Lin Xiaowan said innocently.
She hadn't expected the oil to splatter so fiercely when she put the meat in, almost splashing onto her face.
At that time, Lin Xiaowan still remembered the steps Xia Shiyu had told her, so she could only randomly put them together.
Su Lin patted Lin Xiaowan's head and said, "Xiaowan, it's been so long, be good~! If we don't have the talent, let's not learn it, okay?"
"Su Lin... I... give me another chance, I'm sure I can cook well."
Su Lin laughed and said, "Xiao Yu is enough. She's our cook. Why are you trying to take her away from her? Xiao Wan, you have your own strengths too."
"Yeah, Xiao Wan, this dish you made could poison someone. You should just give up," Zhao Yanyan complained while rinsing her mouth.
This was the first time in her life she had ever eaten such a strange-tasting dish.
"Alright, let's eat what Xiaoyu made. As for what Xiaowan made, let's leave it. Everyone, let's not waste time. I have important business to attend to after we finish eating."
"Important business? What important business?" Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu asked curiously.
Su Lin said calmly, "The important thing to promote your cultivation is that all three of you will take a medicinal bath in a little while. One medicinal bath is equivalent to five years of cultivation for an ordinary person. How about that? Isn't this the important thing?"
Really?
"real?"
Su Lin nodded: "It must be true."
Upon hearing this, the three women quickly picked up their chopsticks, their movements as if they hadn't eaten for days, leaving Su Lin somewhat dumbfounded.
All three are stunning beauties. Is it really okay for them to be so careless about their image?
Well, Su Lin didn't care about any of that; in fact, she even found a unique kind of beauty in their behavior.
This is probably what it means to be beautiful; whatever a beautiful woman does looks beautiful.
After dinner, Su Lin took Lin Xiaowan to the bedroom to prepare for a medicinal bath.
In addition to the three main medicinal herbs that Liu Changyuan brought, Su Lin also prepared a lot of other medicinal herbs before returning.
"Xiao Wan, this medicinal bath is a bit strong. If you feel sore all over later, just hold onto my arm, okay?"
Hearing Su Lin's words, Lin Xiaowan blushed: "Su Lin, are you going to stand by and watch?"
"I'm not just watching, I'm keeping you company. You'll see soon enough."
Su Lin's medicinal bath is a method from the Yangyan Needle technique. This method is particularly potent and very helpful in improving physical condition. However, it can also cause unbearable soreness during the bath.
Hearing Su Lin's words, Lin Xiaowan was still somewhat suspicious. Was this guy planning to do something bad?
However, looking at Su Lin's focused gaze, Lin Xiaowan felt that Su Lin wouldn't do such a thing.
"Okay, but you can't do anything reckless, and you absolutely can't lay a hand on me."
Su Lin laughed and said, "Don't worry, you're all mine. If I really wanted to lay a hand on you, I wouldn't be doing it now."
Lin Xiaowan thought about it and agreed with Su Lin, so she stopped worrying about it.
She soon witnessed a scene that shocked her: Su Lin rubbed the ginseng in his hand, and it instantly turned into powder and dissolved in water.
Then, Su Lin put the Polygonum multiflorum and stalactites into the bathtub water.
Seeing that the various medicinal herbs had been blended together, Su Lin then looked at Lin Xiaowan and said, "Take off your clothes and sit in the bath."
"Okay!
She took off her clothes somewhat shyly, then quickly slipped into the bathtub.
"Su Lin, you promised you wouldn't do anything reckless."
Su Lin shrugged: "It's not like we haven't seen it before. Don't get distracted. Try to gather your qi and circulate your energy."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaowan began to circulate her internal energy. Soon, she felt her whole body begin to ache. At first, Lin Xiaowan could bear it, but after a few minutes, she couldn't take it anymore and had to stand up.
Without saying a word, Su Lin put his hand on Lin Xiaowan's shoulder.
"Ouch... Su Lin, it hurts so much! What kind of medicinal bath is this? Why does it hurt so much?"
Su Lin said softly, "Xiao Wan, don't get distracted. Use your inner energy to circulate your qi and let your body absorb the medicinal power."
"Ugh... but it really hurts."
"It will be ready soon."
Lin Xiaowan knew that Su Lin's medicinal bath was hard-won, and the large ginseng alone was a rare and precious item. So at this moment, she forced herself to absorb the medicinal power as Su Lin instructed.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but sweat was constantly streaming down Lin Xiaowan's face, and her skin had become more supple and resilient.
Seeing that Lin Xiaowan had calmed down, Su Lin wiped the water off his body and walked towards Xia Shiyu's room.
Soon, with Su Lin's help, Xia Shiyu also began to take a medicinal bath. Xia Shiyu was much stronger than Lin Xiaowan. Although she was sore all over while absorbing the medicinal power, she didn't utter a sound. Su Lin stayed with her until she was able to circulate her Great Zhou Qi on her own before going to find Zhao Yanyan.
Zhao Yanyan was forced into the bathtub for a medicinal bath by Su Lin, just like he had done.
It was already late at night when everything was finished.
Su Lin arrived at Lin Xiaowan's room. Lin Xiaowan had already opened her eyes. She felt that the medicine in the bathtub had lost its potency, so she prepared to get up.
But just as he was about to get up, he saw Su Lin walk in.
"Su Lin, what brings you here?"
"Xiaoyu and Yanyan are absorbing the medicine, so I came to check on them."
Lin Xiaowan sensed that Su Lin's gaze was a little off, so she said, "They are absorbing the medicinal power right now and need you to keep an eye on them."
Su Lin laughed and said, "At a time like this, I would disturb their cultivation. Xiao Wan, you have finished absorbing, why haven't you come out yet?"
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin and said, "How am I supposed to get out if you're standing here?"
"Hehe... Can't you come out if I stand here? Fine, you've been sitting in the bathtub for so long absorbing the medicinal power, your body must be numb. I'll help you now."
Lin Xiaowan's face paled: "No...no need, I can get out by myself."
"Hehe, Xiao Wan, you just like to show off. I wonder when you'll get rid of this little habit."
After saying that, Su Lin walked towards Lin Xiaowan and extended his hand...

Good morning! Su Lin got up early and made a table full of breakfast. After all, she had promised Zhao Yanyan last night that she would make breakfast for her. Although Su Lin didn't like cooking, she had to keep her promise.
After putting the last plate down, Su Lin called upstairs, "Everyone get up and eat, don't sleep anymore."
Two minutes later, Lin Xiaowan's door opened: "What are you yelling for? We've been up for ages, okay?"
Su Lin raised an eyebrow; "Oh~! Your health has improved now, and you don't need to stay in bed anymore? It seems the medicinal bath I gave you guys was quite effective."
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin: "Now I know what your ultimate purpose was in giving us this medicinal bath?"
"What? Xiao Wan?"
Seeing that Xia Shiyu and Zhao Yanyan from next door had come out, Lin Xiaowan noticed the hickeys on their clothes and rolled her eyes at Su Lin again.
That guy must have slipped away after she fell asleep.
"Ask Su Lin."
Su Lin waved his hand: "Don't listen to Xiao Wan's nonsense, come down and eat quickly."
"Oh, oh, oh, it'll be here soon."
The three of them went back to their room to wash up and then went downstairs.
Zhao Yanyan said speechlessly, "Su Lin, what kind of toothbrush are you selling? It's so brittle, I just broke it in half while brushing my teeth."
"Hey, my toothbrush is broken too, and my water cup is broken. Xiaoyu, where did you buy these? Don't try to save money for Su Lin in the future. Buy better ones, okay?" Lin Xiaowan said to Xia Shiyu.
Xia Shiyu was also a little confused. Her situation was similar to Lin Xiaowen's with Zhao Yanyan.
Su Lin looked at the three of them and said, "It's not that the things Sun Xiaoyu bought were of poor quality, but that you can't perfectly control your power yet."
"You absorbed too much medicinal bath yesterday, which resulted in you having great strength but being unable to control it perfectly. That's why your strength leaked out and you crushed the cup."
Zhao Yanyan was dumbfounded and asked, "What should we do then?"
"Yeah, we don't know how to control it. What if we accidentally break something?"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaowan glanced down at Su Lin's lower body, just in case...
