Shen Qinghan: “I feel the same way.”Having said that, she then added, “By the way, you warmed my feet for me last night, and I haven’t repaid you yet. In return, I should warm you up too.”
Before she finished speaking, she had already burrowed into the quilt and started to warm Lin Zichen with increasingly adept skills.
With her meticulous care, Lin Zichen soon comfortably closed his eyes, his face radiating enjoyment.
…
More than half an hour later.
The sky outside the window was completely bright.
Seeing that it was about time, Lin Zichen got up with Shen Qinghan, washed up, and went to the living room to have breakfast.
The breakfast, prepared early by Zhang Wanxin, was particularly lavish with soy milk, eggs, porridge, bread, grilled sausages, and a salad of Spirit Fruits, among other things.
Knowing that the two kids often exercised and burned a lot of energy, they needed to eat a lot to replenish.
So she would always make the three meals a day very substantial for fear of starving the two.
“Here, try Aunt Xin’s freshly squeezed soy milk.”
Zhang Wanxin took a glass and poured it full of fresh, slightly yellow-tinted soy milk, smiling as she handed it to Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan took the soy milk and sipped it with anticipation.
Yum, it tasted sweet, but her heart felt a bit squeamish.
With her thoughts somewhat tainted, it couldn’t be helped.
After breakfast.
Not long after, Shen Qinghan went back home.
She went to keep her parents company.
Shortly after Shen Qinghan left, the pound of Dimensional Rat Meat that Lin Zichen had ordered the night before was delivered.
It was brought by a senior student.
This senior student had not gone home for winter break, choosing instead to stay at school to work part-time for credits.
Zhang Wanxin, upon seeing that the delivery person was a student, asked if she had eaten breakfast.
The student said she hadn’t.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanxin warmly gave her some leftover eggs, bread, soy milk, and grilled sausages.
The student didn’t stand on ceremony and thanked her before accepting the food.
Lin Zichen wasn’t as hospitable as Zhang Wanxin.
As soon as he signed for the delivery, he brought the package inside to check the appearance of the Dimensional Rat Meat.
At a glance, he felt that apart from the meat looking somewhat tenderer, it didn’t differ much from common pork, beef, or mutton.
Without lingering further.
Suddenly, Lin Zichen had an idea: Devour!
[You have devoured a strand of the “Dimensional Rat’s” life essence]
[Dimensional Rat Album Progress: 1%]
After devouring, Lin Zichen, finding himself with nothing else to do, went upstairs to practice the Blood Tempering Technique.
He had only just sat down for a short while when Shen Qinghan came over to his house again.
Claiming boredom at her own place, the audacious miss had come to join him in practicing the Blood Tempering Technique.
And so, the pair, a young man and an unmarried woman, practiced the Blood Tempering Technique together in the same room.
They practiced for an entire morning.
Heavily sweating, both were soaked through.
Lin Zichen checked the Body Refining progress bar.
The data was as follows:
[Fourth-stage Skin Tempering: 100%]
[Fourth-stage Flesh Tempering: 41%]
[Fourth-stage Bone Tempering: 0%]
The progress on the Fourth-stage Flesh Tempering was nearly halfway complete.
The efficiency was exceptionally high.
As long as this efficiency could be maintained, reaching the Fourth-stage Body Refining Great Accomplishment before the start of school was not a problem.
After reviewing his own Body Refining progress, Lin Zichen turned to Shen Qinghan and said, “Come, let me check your body and see how far along your Body Refining progress is.”
Shen Qinghan didn’t have a system, so she couldn’t see a progress bar like Lin Zichen could.
If she wanted to know her own Body Refining progress, she had to rely on touch.
Scanning with spiritual power was also an option, but her spiritual strength simply wasn’t enough, and Lin Zichen’s was not quite sufficient either.
A few minutes later.
Lin Zichen had felt all over Shen Qinghan’s body and roughly assessed her Body Refining progress.
The progress was astonishing; she was almost at Second-stage Bone Tempering.
At the same time, her Biological Level was subtly trending toward an evolution to a common seventh-tier.
Lin Zichen was somewhat shocked.
Shen Qinghan’s efficiency in practicing the Blood Tempering Technique was too high.
It felt like she hadn’t practiced for many days, and she was already close to Second-stage Body Refinement Completion, unbelievably fast.
If she continued at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he might truly come to be known alongside her as one of the unmatched twin prides.
“Xiao Chen, how is my progress with Body Refining?”
Seeing Lin Zichen stop and no longer wandering hands, Shen Qinghan asked expectantly.
Lin Zichen calmly replied, “You’re close to Second-stage Bone Tempering.”
“Progress this high?!”
Shen Qinghan was surprised; she hadn’t expected such progress.
Lin Zichen stood up from the ground and said, “It’s almost time for lunch, and you’re all sweaty from practicing the Blood Tempering Technique. Go home, take a bath, and eat something.”
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
Shen Qinghan said as she got up from the floor and walked towards the room’s exit.
Just as she was about to leave the room, she stopped, looked back at Lin Zichen, and said, “I almost forgot, my mom asked you to come over for lunch. She said she’s going to make lots of delicious food for you.”
“Alright, I’ll come over after I take a shower.”
Lin Zichen said, taking clothes from the closet and heading to the bathroom across the hall.
He knew well that he couldn’t always lead Shen Qinghan to his home; he needed to visit hers, to be fair to his future in-laws.
Though the two families were close and got along well, usually not minding such matters.
But that was only acceptable for short periods.
If it happened every time over the long term, even those who didn’t mind would eventually begin to care.
Because not caring would eventually lead to a loss.
Either way, he had to attend to social propriety.
…
A little past noon.
Fresh out of the shower, Lin Zichen, wearing slippers, went over to Shen Qinghan’s place for lunch.
The meal was lavish with Spirit Fruits, Exotic Beast Meat, and the works.
They weren’t bought but provided by the school.
It was Shen Qinghan’s privilege as the provincial top scholar.
