Li Qingxuan’s face grew a little awkward. He glared fiercely at Li Chuan. “Where did you get so much nonsense from? All of this is for you!”
“F-For me?” Li Chuan swallowed hard, his gaze glued to the golden, glistening spirit chicken.
The rich spiritual energy… just taking a single breath made him feel his realm loosening!
“I only have you as my son. If not for you, who else would I give it to?” Li Qingxuan’s expression softened as he gently rubbed Li Chuan’s head. “You’re too weak. I went out to get you some things to help improve your strength.”
“Father, aren’t you going to eat any?” Li Chuan gulped repeatedly, his voice trembling. “If you eat it, your strength will improve too, right?”
He knew exactly what these resources meant.
With these items, even if his talent was poor, he could definitely break through several minor realms in a short time!
“I’m not hungry.” Li Qingxuan waved his hand and spoke earnestly, “Chuan’er, ever since your mother ‘passed away,’ you’ve suffered a lot following me.”
“I don’t have anything good to give you. Your martial talent is already poor. The Creation Pill can improve your martial aptitude, and the spirit chicken can quickly raise your realm. You need these resources more than I do.”
As for that irresponsible former wife of his, she might as well be dead.
“Father!” Li Chuan was deeply moved. With a thud, he knelt before Li Qingxuan, his voice choked with emotion. “I will definitely cultivate diligently and never let you down!”
His father treated him so well, yet he had suspected his father went out to buy medicine just to chase women. He truly felt like trash!
“Alright, alright.” Li Qingxuan quickly helped Li Chuan up.
[Ding! The host has gifted his son 2,200 low-grade spirit stones, triggering a hundredfold return. Returned: low-grade spirit stones.]
[Ding! The host has gifted his son 1 third-grade Creation Pill, triggering a hundredfold return. Returned: 100 Creation Pills.]
[Ding! The host has gifted 1 Spirit Feather Golden Phoenix Chicken, triggering a hundredfold return. Returned: 100 Spirit Feather Golden Phoenix Chickens.]
Listening to the continuous system notifications in his mind, Li Qingxuan could not stop the smile from spreading across his face. “Well then, son, take your time eating. Your father is going to rest for a bit.”
He needed to figure out how to take out the rewards given by the system!
Inside the room.
Su Yanran watched this scene through the window, a trace of loneliness in her heart. “As expected… in his heart, his son is still more important. I’m just an outsider.”
Although she understood, she still felt a little sad.
Li Qingxuan walked into the room. Seeing Su Yanran’s lonely figure, he suddenly understood and smiled. “Madam, why do you look a little unhappy?”
Su Yanran snorted, “Who told you I’m unhappy?”
Li Qingxuan looked at her slightly pouting lips, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
He quietly moved behind her and suddenly blew a breath by her ear. “Madam… are you jealous?”
“W-Who’s jealous!” Su Yanran’s ears instantly turned red as she jumped away like a startled rabbit.
“Me.” Li Qingxuan pointed at his own nose and said seriously, “I’m the worm in Madam’s stomach. I just felt something sour.”
“You’re asking for it!” Su Yanran, flustered and embarrassed, grabbed an embroidered pillow and threw it at him, only for Li Qingxuan to catch it effortlessly.
Like performing a magic trick, Li Qingxuan pulled out a radiant Creation Pill from his sleeve, then took out two golden spirit chickens and placed them on the table.
“This is…” Su Yanran’s beautiful eyes widened, her heart pounding wildly.
“Shh!” Li Qingxuan placed a finger against her lips and lowered his voice. “My son is important in my heart, but you…”
He suddenly took her soft hand and pressed it against his chest. “You are even more important.”
Feeling the strong heartbeat beneath her fingertips, Su Yanran’s nose tingled. “You… you… you’re so annoying…”
Her father treated her fairly well, but in the end, he still saw her as a tool to strengthen the family.
But the man in front of her truly treated her well.
Taking advantage of the moment, Li Qingxuan pulled Su Yanran into his arms.
This time, Su Yanran did not struggle. With tears in her eyes, she quietly enjoyed Li Qingxuan’s affection.
[Congratulations to the host. Su Yanran’s favorability has increased to 80%.]
Feeling the slightly trembling body in his arms, Li Qingxuan joked softly, “Keep your voice down. Eat secretly. Don’t let that brat see it, and don’t tell him later.”
He leaned close to her reddened ear and whispered, “This is our little secret…”
Su Yanran broke into a smile through her tears and lightly punched his chest. “What kind of father are you?”
Though she said that, her heart was sweeter than honey.
“Come, Madam, have a taste. This chicken is highly nourishing and can also improve your strength…” Li Qingxuan tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her with a smile.
Su Yanran took the golden, glistening chicken leg and took a gentle bite.
In an instant, a surge of spiritual energy exploded within her body. She felt spiritual energy rushing through her meridians like a tide, and every pore of her body seemed to open.
“This… this is…” Su Yanran felt her cultivation rising rapidly in shock. The barrier of her original 1st stage Condensation Essence Realm shattered under the impact of this energy.
A beam of spiritual light shot upward from the top of her head, and her aura surged—2nd stage Condensation Essence Realm!
“Spirit Feather Golden Phoenix Chicken?” Su Yanran’s eyes widened, her voice trembling. “Isn’t this… a legendary top-tier spirit beast?”
“I’ve heard each one is priceless. Only alchemists of the 4th grade and above, combined with various top-tier medicinal herbs, can fully bring out its power to enhance cultivation…”
She hurriedly tried to push the remaining chicken leg back into Li Qingxuan’s hand. “This treasure is too valuable. I can’t…”
Even as a candidate saintess of the Qingyun Sect, she would not be qualified to taste something of this level.
And yet, Li Qingxuan had given her two of them!
“No matter how valuable it is, once Madam eats it, that’s when it holds the greatest value.” Li Qingxuan pressed down her hand and said with a straight face, “We are husband and wife. If you try to return it, are you planning to separate from me?”
“I… I’m not.” Su Yanran’s face flushed as she hurriedly explained. “Th-then you should eat some too…”
Li Qingxuan suddenly sighed, his expression turning resentful. “Other men get fed chicken by their wives personally… yet I clearly have a wife, and still have to… sigh… maybe I won’t eat it at all.”
“You… you…” Su Yanran’s ears turned crimson, but she still trembled as she tore off a piece of chicken and carefully held it to Li Qingxuan’s mouth. “O-Open your mouth…”
“Ah…” Li Qingxuan’s eyes lit up. He opened his mouth wide, not only eating the chicken but also deliberately giving her finger a light bite.
“Ah!” Su Yanran quickly pulled her hand back, her entire body flushed with embarrassment. “You… you…”
“Tsk, Madam’s fingers are quite sweet as well.” Li Qingxuan looked satisfied. “I wonder if Madam could tear off a piece with her mouth and feed it to me?”
“You… you… how annoying…” Su Yanran’s voice trembled.
“Madam…” Li Qingxuan gazed at her moist cherry lips, his throat moving slightly.
Su Yanran’s eyelashes trembled, yet she did not avoid him.
The tingling sensation from the light bite still lingered on her fingertip, and her heartbeat raced as if it would leap out of her chest.
Just as their noses were about to touch—
Boom!
The entire residence shook violently. The carved wooden doors exploded into countless splinters under the impact of spiritual pressure.
A violent gust swept into the room, overturning all the teacups on the table.
Then, a furious roar echoed throughout the entire Li Family residence:
“Li Qingxuan, you old dog, get out here and face your death!”
