Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: The Cunning Vixen

Lin Tian suddenly felt his mouth dry and his heart burn with a raging fire.

If this wasn’t her home and Bai Ping wasn’t here.

Lin Tian would probably have taken her hand and rushed into the bathroom for a couple’s bath.

Unfortunately, this would have to wait until the evening. But the soundproofing here seems pretty good, much better than Luoyan Dock.

Lin Tian applied the shower gel three times back and forth until he was completely enveloped in its scent. Only then did he happily put on the martial arts training clothes prepared by Miaoqiu earlier, along with a brand new pair of men’s underwear.

After dressing, Lin Tian emerged from the bathroom but didn’t see Miaoqiu, so he returned to his room first.

Upon entering the room, Lin Tian saw that Mei Ruyan had disappeared somewhere, leaving only a messy blanket and the lingering fragrance of a lovely woman.

She probably went out for some air after waking up. Last night, who knows what she talked about with Bai Ping, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Clearing his thoughts, Lin Tian found his backpack in the corner of the room, placed it on the bed, and began searching through it.

This visit to South City, he didn’t bring extra clothing, hence having to wear Miaoqiu’s training clothes. Besides his wallet and similar items, most of his bag was filled with herbs and various pills.

A few days ago at Luoyan Dock, he collected many pills, most of which were stored at the Black Gold Security Base by Tian Ming, while a portion was kept by himself for this trip. Now they were finally coming in handy.

He took out the Qi Increasing Elixir and herbs to strengthen body resistance and went again to Xu Shaohui’s hospital room, where Bai Ping and her daughter were coincidentally present.

Lin Tian fed Xu Shaohui the two kinds of pills simultaneously, then quickly circulated his Spiritual Qi to help release the medicine’s effects and aid absorption.

Over forty minutes passed before Lin Tian started regulating his breath and wrapping up, quite a demanding task indeed.

At this moment, Miaoqiu hurriedly brought over a clean towel and thoughtfully wiped the sweat off Lin Tian’s forehead. She whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You worked hard today, I’ll agree to anything you want tonight."

Gulp.

Lin Tian swallowed hard, feeling a burning sensation in his lower abdomen; this vixen is quite deadly with her allure.

"Ahem!" Bai Ping cleared her throat. Though she didn’t say much, she definitely meant for them to mind the occasion.

Bai Ping was raised with excellent manners from a young age. The two aren’t married yet, their actions were a bit too intimate.

If it were Yan Xinrou, she might have already started teasing them.

One reason was the concern that her daughter might be disadvantaged; secondly, such conduct was ethically improper.

Bai Ping still didn’t know that Miaoqiu had disturbed the Xu Family at Luoyan Dock late at night a few days ago.

With a slightly blushed face, Miaoqiu stepped back to maintain some distance from Lin Tian. Her mother had been strict with her since childhood, making her a bit fearful.

Unperturbed, Lin Tian smiled, then walked to Bai Ping’s side and took out a delicate small wooden box the size of a fist from his pocket.

"Auntie, this is the Nine Purity Elixir. Although it has a refined name, it’s a tonic for the body. After all these years of taking care of Uncle, you’ve worn yourself out; this elixir is just right for you," Lin Tian chuckled.

Bai Ping was stunned. She never expected Lin Tian to bring something for her.

"Mom, don’t just stare. Lin Tian chose this especially for you, and it’s not something just anyone can eat," Miaoqiu chimed in.

"Auntie, this is my first visit, and I haven’t prepared a proper gift. Please accept this; I’ll make it up next time," Lin Tian said with a smile.

Bai Ping had never heard of the Nine Purity Elixir, but anything given by someone like Lin Tian would undoubtedly be good—didn’t even someone as proud as Xu Beishan come begging for the pill formula?

After thinking it over, Bai Ping accepted it and smiled, "Good child, your thought is what matters; don’t bring anything next time."

Lin Tian shook his head, "It’s a matter of courtesy, it’s necessary."

Miaoqiu silently praised Lin Tian’s cleverness.

Her mother, having been educated in etiquette since childhood, was definitely pleased with Lin Tian’s compliment.

Sure enough, Bai Ping looked at Lin Tian with increasing satisfaction.

"You’ve had a tiring day too, go rest first. I’ll have someone call you for lunch later," Bai Ping said with a smile, "I’ll tidy up the house."

"Okay." Lin Tian gave Miaoqiu a look.

Having been teased rather mercilessly by this little vixen just now, he needed to vent.

Miaoqiu knew what Lin Tian was thinking and stuck her tongue out at him playfully, then said, "Mom, I’ll help you clean up."

Without waiting for Bai Ping to agree, she already started moving to tidy up.

Lin Tian was dumbfounded and realized he had been played!

He waited for quite a while, and Miaoqiu kept tidying the table, mopping the floor, and occasionally throwing him seductive glances, sticking out her cute pink tongue.

Lin Tian was frustrated from watching but being unable to do anything.

Eventually, he decided to take a break and get some fresh air!

The air in South City is not only better than in Kanyue City but even the weather is clearer, with a cloudless sky when you look up.

In this kind of mild weather, wearing this loose martial arts training suit, standing in the bright sunlight makes one feel much better.

As for Miaoqiu, this vixen, she’ll get a taste of her own medicine seeing her wail at night.

Suddenly, Lin Tian saw an old man, a young man, and a woman arguing about something in the yard.

From his view, Lin Tian immediately recognized them as Xiang Ming, the Grand Elder, and Nanqiu.

Bored, Lin Tian ran back inside, grabbed three glasses of orange juice, and then headed out.

"You little rascal, how dare you call this old man an old geezer? You have no idea who I am!"

The esteemed Grand Elder of the Ancient Martial Family Alliance was fuming, puffing his cheeks and glaring at the little brat in front of him.

Nanqiu stood silently as always, like a pine tree rooted in place.

Seeing this, Lin Tian found it rather amusing and refrained from interrupting. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Xiang Ming’s little hands clenched into fists, held straight forward, but his butt was sticking out, looking quite undignified.

"You called me a little rascal first, or else why would I call you an old geezer? Look at all those wrinkles, aren’t you an old geezer? I’m practicing my horse stance, what’s it got to do with you? Go rest or something."

After Xiang Ming finished speaking, he didn’t forget to roll his eyes at the Grand Elder, looking very cheeky. But his sweat-soaked clothes and forehead showed he was quite worn out.

"Hey, an old man can call you a little rascal, but you can’t call an old man an old geezer. Didn’t your grown-ups teach you manners at home?" The Grand Elder hummed heavily, saying, "Your horse stance looks terrible! Have the Xu family been practicing this all these years? It’s ineffective and undignified."

Xiang Ming turned his head with a snort, obviously caught slacking off, unable to find a reason to counter.
