"Mind your manners. Could you please put on your clothes first? The night is deep, and you might catch a chill!"
"Ah! Oh! Young Master!"
A blush appeared on Luo Xiaozhao's face. It was only now that she noticed her current state. Although not too revealing, it unavoidably exposed some to Luli. She quickly dressed herself, tightening her waistband.
Now fully dressed, Luo Xiaozhao gazed deeply at Luli. She wasn't actually afraid of being seen by him, but the long-standing modesty of a young girl made her feel somewhat shy.
"Young Master, can I really cultivate now?"
After arranging her clothes, Luo Xiaozhao's complexion finally improved.
"Yes, as long as you learn a cultivation technique, you can start cultivating."
"Young Master, is this for real?"
Overjoyed, Luo Xiaozhao hugged Luli tightly.
Luli sighed. This girl hugged so tightly; why did he feel like he was losing control? Being held by her, Luli suddenly thought of something and immediately shifted his focus elsewhere.
What's going on with this girl? When I cleared my meridians, my body expelled many toxic impurities, and the stench was unforgettable, worse than the smell of a sewer. But this girl doesn't have any smell—no, she does, but it's her natural fragrance, and it seems stronger now, surprisingly pleasant.
What's happening? When Luo Xiaozhao cleared her meridians, why didn't any impurities come out?
Realizing this, Luli quickly held Luo Xiaozhao's shoulders and earnestly examined her. Indeed, there were no abnormalities on her face or neck, and no strange odors.
During my breakthrough, there was a viscous substance, like mud, all over me.
Luli couldn't believe it. He leaned closer to sniff, detecting only a faint, pleasant fragrance, refreshing like orchids, and pleasing to the senses.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing! Xiaozhao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere on your body? Like sweating profusely on a hot day?"
"No, just some severe swelling in certain places, but it's better than before."
"Huh, what's going on?"
Luli was puzzled. Could it be that when it comes to opening meridians, men expel toxins and impurities, while women don't? That's impossible; meridians are the same for both men and women, and I've never heard of female cultivators not expelling impurities when opening their meridians.
"No, something's not right!"
Looking at Luo Xiaozhao, Luli could confirm that her main meridians were indeed open. But this result completely overturned Luli's understanding. Why are there no toxins or impurities, no strange smells?
As Luli was still trying to figure it out, he leaned in to smell Luo Xiaozhao again. However, this time, the girl blushed intensely at his action.
"Young Master, what are you trying to do?"
Luo Xiaozhao's voice was almost inaudible.
"Xiaozhao, can I take a look at your body?"
At this moment, Luli had no ulterior motives. He was genuinely concerned about Luo Xiaozhao's physical condition. Considering her importance to him, Luli no longer treated Luo Xiaozhao as a mere servant.
"Young Master, Miss Xiaoqing was right; you're really naughty!"
"I..."
Luli didn't know how to explain. Nevertheless, he was indeed misunderstood by this girl. "Young Master, undress yourself!"
It seemed he was completely misunderstood, but since he was concerned about Luo Xiaozhao's condition, Luli didn't explain. He untied his waistband, gently removing Luo Xiaozhao's upper garments.
Luli had no intention of taking advantage of her, so he only examined her shoulders and back. In Luli's eyes, Luo Xiaozhao was important, and he would never harm her. If she showed any reluctance, he wouldn't cross any boundaries.
After checking Luo Xiaozhao's body, Luli confirmed that there were no abnormalities. Frowning, he couldn't understand what was happening.
"Host, she has an Immaculate Heavenly Body!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Luli's mind.
"Immaculate Heavenly Body? Why are you telling me now?"
Luli was hearing about this for the first time. His knowledge of this world came from the original Luli, and his memory was not complete, so there were many things he didn't know.
No wonder when Luo Xiaozhao cleared her meridians, there were no impurities coming out. Her body constitution is special—Immaculate Heavenly Body. Just by the name, Luli could tell that Luo Xiaozhao's constitution was extraordinary and didn't tolerate impurities.
Luli didn't delve into the specifics of the Immaculate Heavenly Body. He was too exhausted at the moment.
"Young Master, you're really bad to the core!"
Luo Xiaozhao said softly, but Luli didn't hear her speak again or see him move for a while. After a moment, she noticed that Luli had fallen asleep, probably too tired.
Worried about waking him up, Luo Xiaozhao let him rest with his head on her shoulder. Seeing him up close, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Dawn arrived, and Luli slightly opened his eyes.
"Xiaozhao, I fell asleep. Why didn't you wake me up?"
Luli quickly got up, still feeling quite tired.
"Young Master, let me help you inside to rest!"
"Alright!"
Having slept until the afternoon, Luli felt like his body had been completely drained. Waking up and seeing Luo Xiaozhao by his side, he felt a pair of eyes watching him without blinking.
"What time is it now? You didn't stare at me like this the whole day, did you?"
"It's almost evening! I just came over to check on Young Master!"
"Ah! I slept for so long!"
"Second Young Master came to see Young Master today. Knowing that Young Master was sound asleep, he didn't wake you up and left these things!"
Luo Xiaozhao handed over two porcelain bottles to Luli—a bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills and a bottle of Condensing Qi Pills.
"What did Second Brother say?"
"He didn't say much! Just mentioned that these things were rightfully Young Master's!"
Luli guessed why Second Brother gave him these pills. He helped the Lu family get the first place, and for the next three years in East Lin City, the Lu family would undoubtedly receive many benefits.
These pills were rightfully Luli's. He handed the two bottles directly to Luo Xiaozhao.
"Now I'll teach you a cultivation technique. These pills are just what you need for cultivation!"
"Ah, Young Master, I can't accept these pills!"
"Don't defy my words!"
Luli immediately put on the airs of a young master. Seeing Luli getting a bit angry, Luo Xiaozhao bit her lip and reluctantly nodded.
"But, aren't these too many?"
"Not too many!"
