After passing on the method of cultivating mental strength to Xia Qingqing, Lin Yun began to practice the newly learned dual cultivation technique. Soon, a surge of spiritual energy circulated in his body and finally entered Xia Qingqing's. It slowly fused with the spiritual energy emanating from all over her body.

Each tiny part of a person's body is composed of various cells and minute lifeforms.

Spiritual energy has the effect of promoting the growth of life. As Lin Yun's mental strength entered Xia Qingqing's body, not only did her mental strength increase rapidly, but the injured areas of her body also began to regenerate at a fast pace. Her injuries were healing quickly.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yun felt a significant increase in his mental strength.

He couldn't help being amazed at the power of this dual cultivation technique.

However, having read the introduction of this dual cultivation technique, Lin Yun was aware that this outstanding effect was due to their first dual cultivation session. The effect would decrease with each subsequent session.

"Huh?"

When Xia Qingqing came to her senses, she quickly noticed the changes in her body and was amazed.

Firstly, she felt as if she had extra information in her memory, and there was an unknown energy in the part of her body where her brain was located. It seemed to make her thoughts clearer. Secondly, her bodily fatigue was not as severe as she had expected.

"Brother... were you really transferring a technique to me just now?" Xia Qingqing asked incredulously.

She had assumed that Lin Yun was only making an excuse earlier and that his real goal was to do naughty things.

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you? How do you feel now?" Lin Yun asked with a smile.

"I... I feel great… very energetic…" Thinking back on the process, Xia Qingqing blushed and spoke in a low voice.

"Feeling good? Very energetic?" Lin Yun smirked.

"Since you're feeling so good, why don't we do it again..." Lin Yun leaned over to Xia Qingqing's ear, gently nibbled on her earlobe, and chuckled.

"Ah—"

When Xia Qingqing felt the change in Lin Yun, her face turned red immediately. She couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

"Good brother, spare me, I really can't handle..." Xia Qingqing shyly retreated a little, pleading shyly and desperately.

"Don't you want to have my baby?" Lin Yun wrapped his arms around Xia Qingqing, not letting her retreat, and continued to tease her, laughing as he spoke.

"It's already... enough..." Unable to escape, Xia Qingqing burrowed into Lin Yun's arms in embarrassment, whispering softly.

"What's enough?" Lin Yun continued to tease her.

Feeling her face burning, Xia Qingqing whispered something that made her even more embarrassed. She buried her face in Lin Yun's chest and wished she could never resurface.

"Hmm"—

Lin Yun took a deep breath.

Xia Qingqing was indeed too tempting.

If this continued, he might not be able to hold back.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time." Lin Yun smiled faintly and spoke.

He felt a sense of pride as he said this.

Which man wouldn't want to be potent in this aspect? Wouldn't want his woman to fear him in this respect?

"Brother..." After a moment, Xia Qingqing looked up and spoke softly.

"Hmm?" Lin Yun responded.

"You..." Xia Qingqing hesitated.

"What?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

"You should... get another girlfriend..." Gathering her courage, Xia Qingqing spoke in a nearly inaudible voice.

She found that Lin Yun was really too strong in this regard. She didn't want him to keep holding back due to her.

She was already slightly insecure. Lin Yun's continuous urges finally made her muster the courage to speak her mind.

"What did you say?" Lin Yun wondered if he had heard wrong.

Xia Qingqing was asking him to find another girlfriend?

This was the 21st century, a society of monogamy. Did Xia Qingqing understand what she was suggesting? How could she have such a thought?

"I know I can't satisfy you. I don't want you to keep enduring," Xia Qingqing murmured, her face red as a tomato.

"In our place, it's common for a man to marry two wives…" Xia Qingqing continued to explain.

"Uh..." Lin Yun was speechless.

In Xia Qingqing's world, was it common for one man to marry two wives?

Where exactly was Xia Qingqing from? Wasn't it Huaxia?

"Mengmeng, she's a great match for you. I don't mind if she doesn't... if she does... I can keep my presence hidden..." Xia Qingqing murmured.

Lin Mengmeng, Xia Qingqing mentioned her again.

Lin Yun unconsciously thought of that silhouette.

Undeniably, she was truly beautiful, her innocence was no less than Xia Qingqing's, especially the hint of spirituality that made her even more attractive.

Which man doesn't love beautiful women?

Especially a beautiful girl he has affection for!

Xia Qingqing kept mentioning her, her voice filled with genuine emotions, stirred Lin Yun's heart.

No man was absolutely righteous...

A man marrying two wives?

Lin Yun was also slightly tempted.

He just didn't want to hurt the people he loved. If the people he loved wanted this...

No!

This girl was letting her imagination run wild.

Why was he doing the same?

Quickly, Lin Yun shook his head and chuckled bitter-sweetly.

Leaving aside whether it was right or wrong to do so, who was Lin Mengmeng? Would she agree to having a polygamous husband?

He absolutely wouldn't agree to Xia Qingqing staying in the shadows.

"Silly girl, don't overthink..." Lin Yun gently patted Xia Qingqing's head, speaking affectionately.

"If you say another word, I'm going to continue..." Seeing that Xia Qingqing still wanted to say something, Lin Yun threatened jokingly.

"No... Don't..."

Sure enough, hearing his words, Xia Qingqing was instantly too scared to speak anymore.

However, what Lin Yun didn't know was...

Xia Qingqing was even more determined about this idea in her heart.

She really didn't want Lin Yun to suffer in this regard.

Perhaps it had something to do with the environment she grew up in.

In her hometown, a very backward place, there were many men who married two wives, and even some married three wives.

In those backward areas, there were no strict family planning measures. With a surplus of women and a shortage of men, combined with the poverty in some families back then, these families married off their daughters early. As long as the husband's family could afford it, they didn't care whether he already had a wife or not.

There were also instances where the husband's family was well-off, and the environmental factors allowed them to marry multiple wives.

She had seen families with one husband and two wives, even one husband and three wives, living well.

Once Xia Qingqing said 'no', Lin Yun was seized with the impulse once more.

But, he really couldn't do it anymore.

Suppressing the heat within his body, he stroked Xia Qingqing's hair, gently saying, "In a few days, come home with me..."

"Me, go home with you?" Xia Qingqing was taken aback.

She knew that Lin Yun had not been home for five years.

"You know, I haven't been back for five years and my parents might not feel too good about me. Especially my dad. If I bring you home, maybe seeing such a beautiful daughter-in-law will pacify them..." Lin Yun gave a slight smile, speaking in a somewhat teasing tone.

Hearing Lin Yun's praise made Xia Qingqing blush a little, but knowing that Lin Yun wanted to take her home filled her with joy. Her heart was overflowing with sweetness, and she obediently said, "Okay, I'll go back with you to meet Uncle and Auntie."

"After all we've been through, you still call them Uncle and Auntie?" Lin Yun chuckled.

"Hmm... go home... to see... mom and dad..." Xia Qingqing's face was flushed crimson, almost bleeding, and she spoke shyly.
