The illustration above was immediately understandable. After all, it was the twenty-first century, how could she not understand it? Sometimes, she would even browse websites only for adults.
The content on those sites was far more stimulating than anything in this book.
"Wife, you must study it carefully," Lin Xiao said, gently tidying up Luo Qinghan's hair. "If you practice it well, it can help you prolong your life and, what's more, stay forever young."
"Forever young? Why do you sound like a con artist?" Luo Qinghan naturally didn't believe him.
What era was this? Forever young?
Were these beauty products and medical products nowadays not just preying on women's obsession with youth to make money?
Skincare could indeed slow down aging, but once one grew old, one grew old. Where was there such a thing as eternal youth?
"Believe me, take a good look. I'll teach you properly too. The current sect leader of the Joyous Union Sect is fifty-six years old, but she looks no older than twenty." Lin Xiao said, releasing Luo Qinghan. To make her believe him more, he took out his phone, displaying a photo of Li Zhiyan.
"She's fifty-six?"
Seeing the photo, Luo Qinghan couldn't believe it. No matter how she looked at it, the woman appeared to be in her early twenties.
Even with the best photo editing or makeup, the traces of time would still be visible.
"Yes, here's her information. Look, there are her marriage certificate and ID card," Lin Xiao immediately showed Luo Qinghan the information Zhu Guangyu had found.
"Really?"
Seeing this, Luo Qinghan was stunned. Was she really fifty-six?
"Of course, it's true! Not only her, but I tell you, all the female disciples of the Joyous Union Sect, their appearance has basically stopped at eighteen." Lin Xiao said immediately.
As he spoke, he pulled out a photo he had taken himself.
"Is that true?"
Luo Qinghan was first amazed, then her eyes narrowed as she stared at Lin Xiao. "So, you've been to the Joyous Union Sect? If I heard correctly, isn't the Joyous Union Sect the kind of sect in TV dramas that only has women and is especially good at seducing men? They practice 'Cai Yang Bu Yin' (absorbing male essence to nourish oneself)?"
"Ahem... it is true that they are all women, but it's not like what's said in TV shows about absorbing male essence. They are quite disciplined and have regular physical check-ups. I went to give them a check-up, and this cultivation manual was their payment. I thought you definitely wouldn't refuse eternal youth, so I brought it back," Lin Xiao quickly explained.
To be precise, he had actively requested it himself yesterday. After all, Lin Xiao wasn't lacking in money, so this kind of thing was the best.
Coincidentally, this dual cultivation manual would allow Luo Qinghan to cultivate and maintain her youthful appearance, which was perfect.
After this, if Luo Qinghan encountered any ordinary dangerous individuals, she could simply wave her hand and defeat them.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's explanation, Luo Qinghan confirmed and then picked up the book to read it carefully.
"Since you've never practiced martial arts before, I can help you later. You'll feel a warm current flowing within you then, which is the circulation of true energy," Lin Xiao said from the side.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Luo Qinghan held the manual and said, "This is something we can only cultivate when we're being intimate, right?"
"Of course."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Luo Qinghan retorted.
"?!"
At this moment, Lin Xiao noticed that Luo Qinghan's face was flushed, her eyes were filled with a watery shimmer, and her body was pressed tightly against his. A tempting aroma emanated from her.
"This is the office..."
Although Lin Xiao did have thoughts of being intimate with his wife in the office, when Luo Qinghan took the initiative, Lin Xiao was a little taken aback. How could he say such a thing?
"I'm the chairman. What would they dare to say?" Luo Qinghan said, turning around and hooking her arms around Lin Xiao's neck.
What would they dare to say!
Lin Xiao felt even more thrilled. With a wave of his hand, he locked the office door and pulled down all the curtains, and then the two of them began to lose themselves in their world.
The feeling immersed them both.
However, their movements were clearly a little too loud.
Outside, employees were gradually arriving to start their day's work, but they could all hear faint sounds from the office.
"Is Miss Luo scolding someone in there?"
"It sounds like she's smashing things in anger?"
They couldn't hear clearly, only feeling slight vibrations from the ground and occasional noises. They instinctively assumed Luo Qinghan was having a temper tantrum.
After all, before Luo Qinghan could establish her position in the company, she had, as the cold-faced CEO, criticized many middle managers to the point of questioning their existence.
They would probably never imagine that the cold-faced CEO they saw was currently in the office, engrossed in practicing the Joyous Union Sect's cultivation technique with Lin Xiao.
The temperature in the entire room rose by at least five or six degrees Celsius, even without the air conditioning being on.
During this hour of cultivation, they had tried out half of the techniques in the manual.
And Lin Xiao had finally guided Luo Qinghan into the realm of ancient martial arts.
When it was over.
Luo Qinghan slumped onto the chair, panting heavily. Their clothes were in disarray, not to mention their clothes; even the items on Luo Qinghan's desk were scattered everywhere, a mess.
The entire room was filled with the scent of their hormones.
Unlike Luo Qinghan, Lin Xiao felt refreshed, even though his clothes were disheveled.
He very gently helped Luo Qinghan adjust her clothes, turned on the air conditioning, and then stood by her side, slowly caressing her face and kissing her.
"Bastard..."
Luo Qinghan uttered these two words weakly, but the scolding sounded more like a spoiled whine. "My clothes... they're all ruined... What am I going to do later..."
"I'll have someone send up a couple of outfits right away."
Lin Xiao had already dialed Ming Yi's number.
At this moment, it was naturally time to call for outside assistance. To maintain his wife's dignified image.
"Ming Yi, get me and my wife some clothes. Something happened just now, and her clothes got burnt... Yes, both the outerwear and the inner wear."
