The dinner was quickly cooked.
Li Chuan went downstairs and sat at the dining table to eat.
The dining table was a long rectangular table, Li Yong sat at the head position, with Li Chuan and Song Hanzhang sitting at the middle positions on either side, facing each other.
After taking a couple of bites, Li Chuan pondered on how to start the conversation.
"There's something," Song Hanzhang suddenly spoke to Li Yong, "Today, while I was out shopping with Qingyao, I mentioned your professor's promotion. Qingyao said that there is now a new regulation from above. If you want to get promoted this year, you have to go to the academy's support mountain area and teach for half a year to qualify for the promotion."
While Song Hanzhang was speaking, Li Chuan noticed a soft little foot suddenly stick to his thigh, unabashedly rubbing back and forth.
Li Chuan instantly got goosebumps, instinctively glancing at Song Hanzhang, who was drinking fish soup across from him.
At this moment, Song Hanzhang acted as if nothing was happening, extending her little foot along Li Chuan's leg until it reached between Li Chuan's legs!
Li Chuan could feel the toes within the thin stockings, sometimes pressing downward, sometimes teasing upward!
Li Chuan's heart was pounding fiercely; he hurriedly pressed his body forward, fearing that Li Yong might notice.
This Song Hanzhang was truly a seductress. In the morning, when there were only the two of them having breakfast, she didn't act so boldly! Now that his older brother is back, she becomes so daring; is she intentionally seeking a thrill?
Li Yong's thoughts were evidently focused on his work, his face looking somewhat distressed, "Now everywhere is crazy competitive, even if I go to help the brother academy and teach, it only gets me the qualification, and whether I can actually get the professor's promotion is still uncertain!"
"At least it's a chance, you've got to give it a shot."
"I do want to try hard, but unfortunately, my experience is still too shallow. Unless the school's leadership favors me, otherwise, with only one spot, most likely it won't be mine." Li Yong sighed.
"Then let's figure out a way and give gifts."
"Now is a strict crackdown period, the former dean just got sacked; giving gifts now would be tough."
"You don't understand, gift-giving also depends on what kind of gifts are given."
Li Yong was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Song Hanzhang twisted her little foot between Li Chuan's legs gently.
Li Chuan was stunned; could this woman think of sending himself as a gift?
Song Hanzhang gave Li Chuan a meaningful look then spoke to Li Yong, "Don't worry, I'll chat with Qingyao again, situations will always have a turnaround."
Hearing the name Zhao Qingyao, Li Chuan's heart suddenly surged with excitement.
Though he was already eighteen years old, he had never been this close to a girl, never even held hands, let alone being teased by a stunning beauty during dinner.
This meal left Li Chuan feeling dry-mouthed and physically hot.
After finishing the meal, Song Hanzhang acted as if nothing happened and went upstairs to her room.
Li Yong, after having a couple sips of wine, retired to his room early.
"Hoo!"
Li Chuan sat on the bed, trying to calm himself.
The allure brought by Song Hanzhang was just too strong, he didn't know why she would tease and provoke him.
"Could it be that sister-in-law is long-term unsatisfied with my brother and has her eye on me? No! I absolutely cannot make a mistake!" Li Chuan took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down.
Subsequently, he took out his backpack and opened a medicine box from inside it.
This was brought to him when he entered the city; the old man found it under the bed and particularly instructed him to only open it after settling in the city.
Inside were records about his lineage.
First, there was a letter.
The letter detailed his origins.
After reading it, Li Chuan's face was covered with frost.
It turns out he came from a millennium-old family in Yanjing.
This family guards a top-secret of Great Xia, and that secret is the whereabouts of the Nine Tripods!
His father was extraordinarily talented and was meant to be the heir of the family.
But on the day before the succession ceremony, his father's older brother, uncle, and third uncle colluded with his father's nemesis and killed him!
His father died, and Li Chuan's mother, who had just given birth to him, also suffered a brutal fate!
Fortunately, his mother's older brother, Li Changsheng, happened to be in Yanjing and, sensing danger, hurriedly arrived to save him!
Apart from this letter, there were also a bronze pestle and an ink jade mortar, which looked very ancient.
In addition to these, there was a medical book titled "Ghost Gate Pulse Technique."
And a cultivation method called "Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique."
As per the old man's instructions in the letter, their enemies were very formidable, and have never given up trying to find and eliminate him all these years, so he must diligently cultivate; otherwise, if found by the enemies, he's destined to die.
The reason for delaying giving him the cultivation method until now is this cultivation method is very special.
It is a dual cultivation technique!
If he wishes to master it, he must engage in dual cultivation with a woman!
Especially when his blood is surging and the desire for a woman reaches a peak, this cultivation will achieve the best results!
Moreover, after cultivation, he also needs to continue intimacy with a woman, releasing surplus Yang Qi from his body and absorbing the female Yin Qi to balance Yin and Yang!
"This... Isn't it a bit ridiculous? Finding a girlfriend now, let alone practicing such a technique, is incredibly difficult, isn't this asking for my life?"
Li Chuan felt utterly speechless.
After putting away the items, Li Chuan lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
Thinking about this technique brought Song Hanzhang and Zhao Qingyao to his mind involuntarily.
If he could engage in dual cultivation with either of them, that would be great!
Though he knows that thinking about his sister-in-law like this is very wrong, some things are just uncontrollable!
"Who knows whether sister-in-law might sneak into my bed while sleeping tonight; considering her antics during dinner, this probability seems quite high..." Li Chuan lay in bed, secretly somewhat anticipative.
