"A gift from an old friend."

Ye Huan shrugged as he spoke, but received skeptical looks from Li Luo and Shen Taoyuan.

Actually, it's not surprising they didn't believe him.

Giving away ten stalks of 3,000-year-old ginseng, no matter how you look at it, is inconceivable and hard to believe.

One must know that millennium ginseng is considered a precious treasure in the Ancient Martial Realm!

The value of 3,000-year-old ginseng is beyond measure with anything else!

It's just that Huan's favor to Ji Yun was too great, and since Ji Yun is someone who reciprocates favors, such an "impossible event of giving ten stalks of millennium ginseng" occurred.

"For the specific reason, Shishuang knows, I won't say much here."

After Ye Huan finished speaking, he changed the topic and said while pinching his chin, "The yang-replenishing potency of 3,000-year-old ginseng is too strong, not suitable for making soup for pregnant women. We need to find a millennium-aged cold-natured herb to neutralize the ginseng's properties."

"Not a millennium, but three millennia."

Li Luo said seriously, "Dabao, when I was pregnant with you, your father spent a great effort to find half a stalk of millennium ginseng for me."

"Later, to neutralize the medicinal properties, he used his connections to help me find a cold-natured herb of the same age, but it was impossible to find one with the required age."

"In the end, with no other choice, we just used a 900-year-old Snow Lotus, which wasn't sufficient to counteract the terrifying yang force of the millennium ginseng. If I hadn't drunk much of the soup that day, it could have led to disaster, causing a miscarriage! Later, I consulted a traditional doctor and learned that ginseng is an extremely yang tonic, and to neutralize its potency, a cold-natured herb of exactly the same age as the ginseng is needed."

"Is there such a thing?" Ye Huan raised an eyebrow; this is troublesome.

Extremely cold herbs generally grow only in the Antarctic or the deep North, those bitter cold places where not even birds would defecate.

Finding a millennium-aged cold herb is challenging but still possible.

Three thousand years, that age is too long, and the whole world might not even have such an herb with that age.

"Auntie Lin, I'll supplement slowly, it's not like I have to drink ginseng soup. I'm not that delicate," Jiang Shishuang knew how hard it was to find such an old cold herb, and she said proactively.

"No way, for the baby to be born healthy and chubby, and to take good care of your body, ginseng soup is a must." Li Luo held Jiang Shishuang's hand and said in a gentle tone.

A warm stream flowed through Jiang Shishuang's heart; from yesterday's interaction, she could see Li Luo genuinely cared for her.

Li Luo cradled her chin in thought for a few minutes, then said seriously, "Let's do this, Dabao. Let's both put in some effort. You ask your friends over there, and I'll use all my connections here to inquire about the whereabouts of a 3,000-year-old cold herb."

"Okay."

Ye Huan nodded, keeping this matter in mind.

At this moment.

"Ring ring."

The phone rang.

Ye Huan took out his phone, looking closely at it.

Caller: War Goddess—Muses.

The call connected, and on the other side, Muses' lazy and slightly alluring voice came through, "Young Master Ye, I'm arriving at Capital International Airport at 8 p.m. tonight. Where shall we meet? Will you book a room and wait for me, or should I book one and wait for you?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll pick you up at the airport!"

Ye Huan gritted his teeth as he finished speaking and hurriedly hung up the call.

He felt a cold sweat in his palm, and his forehead was sweating profusely!

Luckily, his phone was at its lowest volume, otherwise Muses' words would have led to a big misunderstanding if Liu Tianyun and the others heard it, and Huan wouldn't be able to explain it even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

Putting away his phone, he looked at Shen Taoyuan, winking, "I need to discuss something with you, come over for a bit."

"Ye Huan, we're just friends, it's inappropriate to whisper secrets, isn't it? To avoid any misunderstandings, why not just say it here directly, there's no one else around anyway." Shen Taoyuan snorted.

This made Ye Huan awkward, what secrets?!

Hey hey hey, the way you said that was so ambiguous, it's already led to a misunderstanding!

"Come on, follow me out!" Ye Huan pulled a black-faced Shen Taoyuan and ran towards the courtyard.

Watching their backs, the gaze of Liu Tianyun and the other women became even stranger!

Jiang Shishuang was very angry, thinking Ye Huan was so entranced by Shen Taoyuan that his soul flew to the skies!

With so many wives present, and even the mother-in-law here, he actually "recklessly," took the "beautiful nanny" outside for secret talks?!

How can this be?!

Apparently, the misunderstanding deepened!

Ye Huan realized this and felt like crying without tears, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't want them to know about the extremely dangerous thing he was about to do next, to avoid making them worried.

The misunderstanding could only be resolved later through his actions!

"Did you bring any disguise powder for making human-skin masks this time down the mountain?" Reaching the courtyard, Ye Huan got straight to the point.

"Brought some, why?" Shen Taoyuan thought Ye Huan wanted to talk about feelings, but hearing this question, she realized she was thinking too much, her face turning crimson.

Ye Huan's eyes glinted, "Tonight, I need you to help me out. At that time, come with me for a trip!"

Thinking of having nothing to do at night, Shen Taoyuan agreed readily, "No problem."

...

The breakfast session quickly ended.

Li Luo patiently instructed Jiang Shishuang on some precautions for pregnancy and general knowledge, then left Tingxiang Pavilion.

Today is a day off for Li Industrial Park.

Both Li Corporation and Tianyun International have the day off.

Zhang Huimin and a few women blinked their big eyes, asking Ye Huan if he had time today during the day.

After receiving a positive response, they eagerly pulled Ye Huan to the villa's rooftop, demanding that he teach them self-defense techniques!

Ye Huan didn't shy away, as he had already promised them before heading to Chang'an that he would teach them a type of martial art for self-defense, which strengthens the body and delays aging, once he returned.

"Hmm..." Ye Huan pondered for a while and said, "There is a martial art I can teach you, but practicing it will be somewhat tiring, and I'm not sure if you can stick with it."

"We can definitely stick with it, teach us," Zhang Huimin said with determination in her eyes.

"Teach us quickly."

A few women chimed in, nodding firmly.

"The martial art I want to teach you is called Tai Chi Soft Fist. Although its offensive capability is somewhat lacking, once mastered, it can neutralize many aggressive martial arts using softness to overcome hardness, making it the ideal choice for self-defense."

"Moreover, this martial art has another effect, which is that while practicing, it can fully exercise the human body's meridians, accelerate metabolism, expel toxins, and achieve a tightening of the skin and maintaining a youthful appearance."

"Practicing over the long term, delaying aging and strengthening the body is definitely achievable."

Ye Huan's explanation made the faces of the women light up with excitement.

Women generally care a lot about their figure and appearance, and they were no exception. They suddenly developed great enthusiasm and interest in this martial art.

Even Shen Taoyuan, who originally just came to watch the excitement, was very curious.

"Tai Chi Soft Fist is divided into eight forms. Each form requires you to invest a lot of time and energy to practice fully and seriously, only then can the expected results be achieved."

"Today, I'll teach you the first form!"

Tai Chi Soft Fist was a martial art Ye Huan practiced as a child in Jimiwula Village, during the villagers' morning exercises.

After leaving Jimiwula Village, Ye Huan didn't practice it much.

However, he had already mastered this martial art, and hadn't forgotten it.

As he finished speaking, Ye Huan stepped out with his right foot on the ground, bending his legs at a ninety-degree angle, exhaled a breath of impure air, and his hands danced like dragons in the air, tracing the pattern of the Eight Trigrams Array, occasionally striking out fiercely punches that broke through the air.

A few women imitated Ye Huan's movements, exercised with Ye Huan for half an hour, and found their bodies tired but with a refreshing feeling of coolness, which surprised them.

"The refreshing feeling in your body is because your body's meridians are stimulated by exercise and secreting a pleasant sensation as a reward."

"Actually, your movements aren't very standard, so the training effect is limited."

"How about this, you follow my previous punches and practice by yourself, I will assist and correct your posture."

After saying this, Ye Huan stopped his punching movements and started to observe the women's movements, correcting them immediately when he spotted deviations!

The women were practicing martial arts for the first time, had no foundation, and were poor at controlling their movements, often needing corrections for even minor deviations.

During this period, Brother Huan could be said to have "suffered a lot!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The women were wearing only super-thin silken pajamas that clung to their skin.

Touching them almost felt like direct skin contact.

Moreover, the women's movements were not standard, often with incorrect foot angles, or insufficient waist lowering.

This led Brother Huan to have to support their slender and soft waists, without a trace of extra fat, and their long, perfectly S-shaped legs, helping them adjust their posture for punching!

Sometimes, it was even necessary to adjust the angle of their leaning forward.

At this point, he had to adjust the position above their chest and below their collarbone.

Actually, that's not a big deal, with Liu Tianyun and the others, everything that should happen and shouldn't happen already happened countless times.

Touching an elegant waist or something like that, is no big deal, at most it makes your mouth dry and heart a little flustered.

The main issue is that among the people practicing this martial art are Qin Ya and Shen Taoyuan!

Brother Huan hadn't had any intimate relations with them!

Among them, Qin Ya is at least his wife, providing him some pretext.

With her permission, Brother Huan, blushing with her, supported her elegant waist and long legs, helping her adjust her punching posture.

Qin Ya's heart was racing, she'd never experienced such direct contact with a man before, but she wasn't repulsed, and felt a faint delight.

As for Shen Taoyuan, she truly gave Brother Huan a headache!

Brother Huan had no relationship with her, so helping her adjust posture would provoke strange looks from other women and increase misunderstandings, complicating things!

Yet if he didn't help her adjust, her practice would be futile!

At this point, Shen Taoyuan was a bit dissatisfied and, pouting, said, "Ye Huan, what are you doing, being so biased, hurry and help me adjust too!"

Seeing Ye Huan helping Liu Tianyun and the others adjust their martial art posture while hesitating in front of her made Shen Taoyuan slightly unhappy!

Thinking, this lady here is no worse in figure or appearance than your wife, so what are you hesitating for?

Moreover, didn't you already sneakily touch my waist on the Diamond Queen, why are you being timid now?
