As night fell, Lin Feng finally sheathed his blade. He had trained the entire afternoon. Even with Iron Bones, he still felt a bit fatigued, so he decided to return home.
In ancient times, most common folk ate two meals a day—morning and noon. By evening, they would rest, known as “retiring.” So by the time Lin Feng reached his doorstep, the houses around were all dark and quiet, not a single light to be seen.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, he saw He Caiwei carrying dishes from the kitchen into the main house. Dinner was simpler than lunch, but it still had meat. After an afternoon of training, his stomach was rumbling. Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony and grabbed the rice bowl, devouring it voraciously.
Once he had calmed the temple of his five organs, Lin Feng finally looked at his dear wife He Caiwei and couldn’t help asking, “Why did you still make dinner?”
“As they say, the poor value scholars and the wealthy value warriors. Our family may not have much silver, but your health must be cared for. If you ever go to war and something happens to you, no amount of silver saved will matter. As long as you’re alive, this home exists. But if you’re gone one day, what’s the point of me living alone?”
“Don’t speak nonsense!” Lin Feng frowned and flicked He Caiwei’s forehead with his finger.
Just as he was about to pull his hand back, He Caiwei boldly parted her lips and gently held his finger in her mouth. Her nimble tongue swirled lightly, and Lin Feng could clearly feel the warmth and wetness on his fingertip.
He was momentarily stunned.
Then he saw He Caiwei’s cheeks flush red as she slowly leaned toward him, her mouth slightly open. She gently guided his hand to the softest part of her chest.
“Husband~” Her sweet and delicate voice suddenly rang out in the quiet night.
The warmth of her breath brushed against his ear, carrying the faint scent of apricot blossom unique to her body. Lin Feng’s nostrils twitched as he inhaled it.
“It’s late… what I promised you earlier today, I haven’t forgotten.” He Caiwei curled her smooth, slender legs around Lin Feng and leaned backward slightly.
Her previously close-fitting body now pulled away a little, and she gazed at him full of affection, her face flushed with a newly spreading blush under the dim candlelight.
Lin Feng couldn’t help but marvel at the sight before him.
“Husband~” She called again in a gentle voice, so soft and alluring it could drive any man mad.
Snapped back to reality, Lin Feng felt the heat of the lovely body in his arms. He no longer hesitated.
Breathing heavily, his eyes turned scarlet. With a powerful motion, he lifted He Caiwei, who clung to him like an octopus.
She felt her body lift, then fall, landing softly on the bed inside.
His rough breath swept across her cheek, filled with the thick, heady scent of a man’s passion. She leaned into his embrace. Get faster updates on g.com.
Outside the inner room, the faint candlelight spilled through the open door, casting a hazy glow over the bed behind the white gauze.
“Husband, the lamp’s still on,” He Caiwei said softly, a hint of panic in her voice.
Lin Feng looked at her limp body and smirked playfully. “Under the light, you seem even more beautiful than usual.”
His burning eyes locked onto her, as if wanting to devour her whole. He leaned down and kissed her soft pink lips—at first a light touch, like a dragonfly skimming water.
Then came hours of passionate entanglement…
Lin Feng leaned against the headboard.
A patch of red came into view.
He froze for a moment.
“You were… still untouched?” Realization dawned, and joy surged in his chest.
Lin Feng truly felt blessed by eight lifetimes of good fortune—he had found a treasure. In this world, such purity in a woman was rarer than a national treasure.
Once the mess was cleaned up, He Caiwei looked even more gentle, though visibly exhausted.
From this moment on, she had truly become a woman.
As she lay against her husband’s strong chest, feeling the hardness of his muscles and firm figure, another blush crept across her face.
When Lin Feng held her again, her expression changed slightly, fearing he might want more.
“H-Husband…” she said shyly.
But Lin Feng simply adjusted his position, holding her gently. His warm breath brushed her forehead, bringing a rare and comforting peace to her heart.
“What? You think your husband is that rough and inconsiderate?”
As he lightly patted her smooth, delicate back, his fingers gliding over the soft skin, Lin Feng chuckled, “We’ve got a lifetime ahead of us.”
“What do you say, little lady?”
For once, Lin Feng teased her.
“Husband~ you’re so bad.”
They whispered sweet nothings until this wonderful night slowly passed…
The next morning.
A dull ache and soreness below made He Caiwei furrow her brow.
She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and moved slightly—only to feel more pain. She reached out to her side.
Her husband wasn’t there?
A familiar wave of unease surged in her heart—a complex tangle of emptiness, fear, and vulnerability built from years of suffering and wandering.
Just then, a faint aroma of malt sweetness drifted in from outside.
Footsteps followed.
Lin Feng, whom she longed for, walked in carrying a bowl of freshly made porridge with goji berries, red dates, and longan—meant to nourish the body.
“Just made it fresh. It’ll be good for your body,” Lin Feng said as he sat by the bed and helped He Caiwei sit up, resting her head against a firm pillow while her lower body remained covered.
He blew gently on the spoonful of porridge, then brought it to her lips.
The porridge was soft and sticky, lightly sweet from the dates, goji, and longan. Perhaps there was even a hint of brown sugar inside.
It was the perfect remedy for a woman who had lost blood and was feeling weak.
There were also some appetizing ingredients to aid digestion and recovery.
Watching He Caiwei eat happily like a little hamster, Lin Feng felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
In his previous life, aside from work, his greatest passion was cooking. He had even studied dietary therapy from traditional Chinese medicine, which is how he could prepare such a nourishing meal this morning.
