The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

For the next two weeks, Leng Rushuang did not return to Xuanbing Palace, but stayed in Cangwu Mountain.

Under the guise of observing whether the toxins had been completely eliminated, Shen Yifei knew perfectly well what it was really about.

In the past two weeks, Shen Yifei's life has been a rollercoaster of extremes.

After being detoxified, this woman seemed to have unleashed her true nature.

……

……

On the fifteenth day, Leng Rushuang finally prepared to return to Xuanbing Palace.

The Xuanbing Palace has sent people to urge her several times, saying that there are several important matters waiting for her to return and handle.

Leng Rushuang wanted to give up her position as the Palace Master of Xuanbing Palace, but Shen Yifei persuaded her to stay.

I absolutely cannot lose the power of Xuanbing Palace; I will have to rely on it for many things in the future.

Before leaving, Leng Rushuang was still reluctant to part.

She no longer wants to be the Palace Master of Xuanbing Palace; she feels that being a real woman is happier than anything else.

Shen Yifei is her everything.

Shen Yifei escorted her to the flying boat, and Leng Rushuang handed him a jade slip, telling him to take a close look at it when he got back.

The airship slowly rose into the sky and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Liu Mengli floated out, "We meet once a month. Gu Yunyan also meets once a month. Once he gets a woman, he meets her once a month. If you take in thirty of them, you won't have to do anything. You can just be a full-time bull, sniffing their asses one by one. Whoever smells good, you go to them."

Shen Yifei ignored her and didn't leave Leng Rushuang for the past two weeks.

I wonder what Wuwang and Wuxie are busy with these days. Xinghe should be almost fully recovered by now.

With that in mind, he went to Luo Qinghe's place first.

Luo Qinghe was sunbathing on a deck chair in the yard, engrossed in a book.

Xinghe was fast asleep in the rocking chair next to her, covered with a thin blanket. Her little face had regained its color, and her breathing was even and long.

Shen Yifei tiptoed over, squatted down next to Xinghe's rocking chair, and reached out to touch her forehead.

Xinghe's eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Shen Yifei, the corners of her mouth immediately turned up. "Brother... you're finally here."

"Xinghe, how are you feeling?"

"Much better." Xinghe sat up, rubbing her big eyes. "I'm still a little sleepy though."

Luo Qinghe put down his book, glanced at Shen Yifei, and said, "You've had a good time these past two weeks, without even coming to see Xinghe."

Shen Yifei touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, "I was busy entertaining guests."

"Hmph, entertaining guests?" Luo Qinghe's tone was tinged with sourness. "You really went to great lengths to entertain that Leng Rushuang, keeping her entertained for half a month."

"Qinghe, I was treating her illness," Shen Yifei quickly explained. "She's been poisoned for fifty years. I helped her detoxify and also broke through my cultivation level in the process."

"Does detoxification require dual cultivation?"

"Don't believe me? Ask Xinghe. She's the one who gave me the antidote prescription."

Luo Qinghe looked at Xinghe, who blinked her big eyes, seemingly agreeing with Shen Yifei's statement.

Luo Qinghe glanced at him sideways, "Mid-stage Mahayana? Looks like that woman has put a lot of effort into you."

Shen Yifei chuckled twice, then changed the subject, "Xinghe, do you want to go back to Qiankun Cauldron?"

Xinghe's eyes lit up. "Can we go back now?"

"Of course." Shen Yifei patted her head. "That will be your home from now on."

Xinghe nodded vigorously, "I want to go back. I miss Sister Mengli, and I wonder how the spiritual herbs I planted have grown."

"You planted a magical herb?"

"Yes, I planted a lot of spiritual herbs and many spiritual fruit trees in the cauldron." Xinghe counted on her fingers, "Sister Mengli helped me dig the soil. She said she likes to eat all kinds of spiritual fruits, so I planted a lot of them."

Shen Yifei then understood why the two of them had changed the spirit herb field like this.

"Xinghe, I'll take you home."

With a thought, a white light flashed, and Xinghe was collected into the Qiankun Cauldron.

Luo Qinghe watched Xinghe disappear, then sighed, "You just sent her in like that?"

"She likes staying in the cauldron, so let her stay there." Shen Yifei sat down next to Luo Qinghe, put his arm around her waist, and said, "What, you can't bear to part with her?"

"This child is quite lovable." Luo Qinghe leaned on his shoulder. "How wonderful it would be if we had a child like that, someone to keep me company when you're not around..."

After Luo Qinghe finished speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly, clearly realizing that she had been too blunt.

She buried her face in Shen Yifei's chest and whispered, "Don't overthink it, I was just saying it casually."

Shen Yifei laughed at her actions. This woman had changed a lot. She used to be a cold and aloof saint, but now she was becoming more and more like a little woman.

"Qinghe, we've been married for a long time, it's time for us to have a child. Let's do it now!"

After saying that, he got up, picked up Luo Qinghe, and carried her into the house. Luo Qinghe struggled a couple of times in his arms, saying, "It's broad daylight, aren't you ashamed?"

"There's no one else at home." Shen Yifei kicked open the bedroom door and put her on the bed. "Besides, who says you have to give birth at night?"

Luo Qinghe blushed and glared at him, then gently tugged open Shen Yifei's clothes.

Just as the two were getting into the swing of things, Xinghe's voice suddenly came from inside the cauldron: "Brother and sister, are you planning to have a child?"

Shen Yifei was startled and almost gave up halfway.

"Xinghe! Can you please not speak at a time like this? You might scare someone into something bad."

"Brothers, do you want a boy or a girl?"

"I want a girl, a girl as beautiful as you," Luo Qinghe whispered.

"To conceive a girl, you have to choose the right time. It's best to do it a few days after the full moon, when the moon is waning and the yin energy is stronger, making it easier to conceive a girl. Also, it has to be before midnight, not later in the night, because the yang energy will be too strong."

Shen Yifei was stunned. He subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the window, where the sun was shining brightly.

"Qinghe, the time isn't right. How about we wait until tonight?"

"No need, having a boy is fine too..." Luo Qinghe's voice was so soft that only Shen Yifei could hear it.

Shen Yifei was completely speechless, frozen in place.

Luo Qinghe covered her mouth and laughed out loud, tugging at Shen Yifei's sleeve, "How about... we do as she says?"

Shen Yifei was both amused and exasperated. "Are you going to let a child guide her on something like this?"

However, Luo Qinghe insisted on doing as Xinghe said, so Shen Yifei had no choice but to comply.

Under Xinghe's thoughtful guidance, the two spent a whole day trying to conceive.
