I add points to Indian martial arts.

"I didn't expect my panel to have the effect of 'Heaven rewards diligence'?" Li Wei studied the few lines of text that suddenly appeared on his panel. He was familiar with this kind of panel cheat. As an old bookworm in his previous life, he had read many books with this kind of cheat. As long as you work hard, you will reap the rewards.

In that case, he would be even more motivated to hone his martial arts skills. He would gain one experience point for each practice session, and ten experience points would allow him to level up. At this rate, he would soon be able to complete the first step of the Naga.

Li Wei took a deep breath, preparing to begin his second Naga Eight Steps practice. However, just as he assumed the posture, a sweet, honey-like voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Salma!"

The voice was so sweet that Li Wei knew who it was almost immediately. He looked in the direction of the voice and, sure enough, it was Suleisa!

At the courtyard gate, Suleisa stood there gracefully, her bewitching emerald green eyes gazing at Li Wei with tenderness and concern. The setting sun streamed in from behind her, bathing her in a soft, golden glow. Her slightly worn, pale yellow sari appeared almost transparent, clearly outlining the graceful curves of her budding youth. But what was most striking was her face—a captivating allure of crystal clarity. Her skin wasn't pure white, but rather like fine honey flowing in the sunlight, radiating a warm, healthy glow. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, flawless.

Every time Li Wei saw Suleisa, he would sigh that his "adopted" wife was indeed beautiful.

"Salma, did I... disturb you?" Suleisa lowered her head, her voice carrying just the right amount of timidity, like a fawn that had strayed into forbidden territory. She said timidly, "I heard you... You've been practicing for too long, I was afraid you'd get tired." As she spoke, she magically produced a gleaming little copper pot from behind her back, holding it in both hands. "So I brought you water, with a little freshly squeezed lemon juice and crushed mint leaves, and a pinch of well salt. My father said that after strenuous activity, this is better than plain water."

"No, you've come at the perfect time. I was just about to rest." Almost instinctively, Li Wei replied. Although he had just had a long internal discussion about how he should work hard to practice martial arts, seeing such a beautiful and gentle wife, how could he not enjoy himself?

"A short rest shouldn't be a problem," Li Wei thought.

"Really? Salma's getting ready to rest? That's great!" Suleisa's eyes lit up, and her bright little face broke into a cheerful smile. She seemed genuinely happy that she hadn't disturbed Levi. Then, she smiled, holding a gleaming little copper pot in her hand and a brand-new white cotton handkerchief in her right. Barefoot, she strode quickly toward Levi across the sun-baked mud, the gentle tinkling of the thin silver chain around her ankles carrying a docile rhythm.

"Salma, I'm so glad I didn't disturb you." Suleisa stopped a step away from Levi, looking at him with gentle concern in her eyes. "Look at you, your eyes are all wet with sweat, wipe your sweat."

As she spoke, Suleisa handed him the cotton handkerchief. Levi instinctively tried to take it, but he didn't, because Suleisa suddenly smiled slyly, and with a slight flick of her wrist, deftly moved the handkerchief upwards.

Then, before Levi could react, Suleisa naturally tiptoed, raised her arm, and gently covered Levi's sweat-soaked forehead with a handkerchief that carried a faint scent of jasmine.

She wiped very carefully, from her forehead to her neck, leaving no spot untouched. Her beautiful, enchanting emerald green eyes looked at Li Wei tenderly, while her fingers, through the thin cloth, would occasionally touch Li Wei's skin with extra force, bringing a tingling sensation.

"I am your Ahami." Suleisa tilted her head up, close enough for Levi to see the tiny glint in her eyes and the playful smile on her lips. "Watching your husband wipe his own sweat is disrespectful to Ahami." She seemed quite pleased with her little, successful "teasing" just now.

For some reason, Li Wei felt as if his heart had been gently tickled by those smiling eyes—a little itchy, yet strangely comforting. Suddenly, he didn't want to say anything, nor did he try to reach for his handkerchief. He just stood there, looking down at her.

After saying that, Suleisa fell silent. She focused on wiping, her eyelashes drooping down and casting a small shadow on her face. She looked as devout as if she were serving a deity in a temple.

Li Wei had an indescribable feeling as he looked at Suleisa like this.

Holy crap... that's amazing.

To be honest, Li Wei felt a little numb. In his previous life, he had never received such treatment. Not to mention a stunning beauty like Suleisa. Suleisa's looks were definitely better than those of movie stars. In his previous life, he could only see such a beautiful woman on TV and didn't even have the right to lick her.

but now……

She was right in front of him, gently and attentively doing the most respectful thing for him, especially when she said, "I am your Ahmi."

Li Wei closed his eyes, quietly thinking about the expression on Suleisa's face when she said those words. Her voice was very pleasant, especially when she said the syllables of "Ahami". She would deliberately lengthen the syllables, and the syllables she uttered had a seductive quality, like tickling your heart with a feather.

……

Once the sweat had mostly dried, Suleisa withdrew her hand, took a small step back, looked at Li Wei with her eyes still downcast, and said in a gentle voice, "I wouldn't dare disturb Salma's cultivation any longer. The water is here; I'm leaving."

After saying this, Suleisa put down the gleaming little copper pot, then performed a very light wai (a gesture of respect with hands clasped together), turned around, her skirt swaying slightly, and quietly left the courtyard, carefully closing the creaking wooden door slightly behind her.

Hearing the door close and watching the beautiful figure disappear, Li Wei took a deep breath. For some reason, he felt a little lost. What was he lost about?

Perhaps it was vanity. In his past life, he had a girlfriend who always argued with him, saying that he was incompetent and couldn't make money. Every time she said that, he would feel depressed and frustrated.

He truly enjoyed the way such a beautiful woman like Suleisha treated him with such gentle care, wiping his sweat so tenderly; it gave him a sense of satisfaction and pride.

……

On the other side, as she stepped outside, the sweet smile and concern on Suleisa's face vanished as if a mask had been removed, leaving her calm and serene. She leaned against the cool earthen wall, her emerald green eyes staring blankly at the sky.

She seemed to be in a daze.

Suleisa loved to daydream, because it allowed her to clear her mind and be undisturbed by any external troubles. After a long while, she gently exhaled.

She was wondering if her behavior just now had met the standard.

Men, regardless of their social standing—from Brahmin nobles to Shudra commoners—need to be worshipped, cared for, and cherished.

Humans are social animals and have an instinctive need for the care and attention of their companions.

"Being recognized is an important way to deepen feelings," Suleisa thought to herself, her recent actions being an act of recognition towards Levi.

At the same time, you can't just show concern all the time, because people are fickle creatures. If they think your love is easy to get, they won't cherish it.

That's why Suleiman left immediately after wiping her sweat.

Giving a man space to be alone is essential. Watching him like a thief will only annoy him. The most alluring thing is to appear at the right time and disappear at the right time, leaving him with the impression that "you're always there when he needs you."
