After New Year's Eve, around midnight when the two days are divided, people on the other side of the day have the custom of getting up to burn a pot of yellow paper, so many households stay up very late that night.

Li Xingdao held Li Xiaohua tightly, savoring her beauty and appreciating it all.

When the time came, the wife, who had been all smiles, finally relaxed, burned a pot of yellow paper in the yard, and let go of the last ripples of emotion in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Chen Wan, a woman in the courtyard with a fairly pretty face and a womanly charm, and walked over to her.

Under Chen Wan's gaze, he first kissed him on the lips, then kissed his neck and touched his body, smiling as he led him into the house.

After he went inside and made some noise, the night's hustle and bustle gradually subsided after the lights were turned off.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is a day when it is forbidden to do any work, especially sweeping or cleaning.

However, Li Xingdao's family had no shortage of clean dishes and chopsticks, so they still ate three meals a day as usual.

Li Xingdao did nothing all day and just relaxed and played.

It wasn't until the second day of the Lunar New Year that he went to Zhang Cuiniang's house to visit her and ease tensions between the two sides.

After the relationship was eased, Zhang Cui was very moved. When she got back, she made love to him several times until her body was almost falling apart. Then she gently asked him to stop and fell asleep in his arms without eating.

From then on, every day he brought a woman to her house.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, we went to the home of Lin Xia, the wife of Li Hen, the eldest of the seven brothers.

When we arrived at her house, the woman with the plump buttocks seemed a little at a loss for words.

However, after she hugged Li Xingdao and told him that he was her man in front of everyone in her family, she visibly relaxed a lot.

On the way back, she felt lighter, which made Li Xingdao unable to resist taking care of her in the yard when they got back.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we went to Li Xiaohua's maternal grandmother's house.

After arriving, the relationship was eased and restored, and they visited each other a lot. Li Xiaohua was very well-behaved when she arrived at her hometown, but it was obvious that she was not very familiar with her maternal grandparents' family, so it was just a matter of restoring their relationship.

Then, under the calm gaze of her family, she took Li Xingdao's arm and went back.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to the home of Lin Qing, the wife of Li Lai's fourth brother, Li Huai. After returning home, this woman told her family that Li Xingdao was now her man. Then she shed a tear in the kitchen and went back with Li Xingdao.

On the sixth day, we went to the home of Lin Fang, the wife of Li Lai's fifth brother, Li Xiong. This woman was more down-to-earth. When we got home, she took the initiative to do some chores and introduced Li Xingdao to them, saying he was her husband.

Even after news of Li Xingdao killing Li Lai's entire family spread throughout the surrounding area, no one rejected the story; they eagerly watched him with smiles.

Especially since Li Xingdao had brought them half a tael of silver, they had nothing more to say. During the meal, they kept putting food on his plate, which made Lin Fang very happy.

On the way back, Lin Fang was seen tightly hugging Li Xingdao's arm.

After she accompanied him back to the courtyard, Li Xingdao couldn't resist putting her on the bed and rewarding her.

On the seventh day, we went to the home of Chen Lan, the wife of Li Lai's sixth brother, Li Nao.

Upon arrival, Chen Lan calmly told her family that Li Xingdao would be her man from now on.

He then stayed at home for dinner. Seeing that his parents didn't have much to say, he left half a tael of silver and went back with Li Xingdao.

On the eighth day, they went to the home of Chen Wan, the wife of Li Lai's seventh brother, Li Wai. Chen Wan was the youngest of the seven wives of Li Lai's brothers and was also one of Li Xingdao's favorites.

After arriving at her home, the atmosphere was very lively, which made Li Xingdao very happy.

When they returned, Chen Wan had a big smile on her face and hugged his arm affectionately. All the way home, Li Xingdao got her into bed and gave her a good reward.

After visiting each family, Li Xingdao clearly felt that the women in his family had become more stable and had a higher acceptance of their current life, and the atmosphere at home had become more calm and cohesive.

This comforted him, making him feel that his trip over the past few days hadn't been in vain.

After that, his desire to go out lessened. He only went to the pharmacy once on the ninth day of the month to give Liu Laosan a gift and sit for a while.

After receiving the reply, "Take the whole division after the first month of the lunar calendar; this can't be done during the first month," he returned with a satisfied smile.

Knowing the exact time the old boxer would arrive, Li Xingdao was no longer in a hurry.

Starting from the tenth day of the month, I practiced standing meditation at home every day to condense my qi and blood.

Even after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they did not stop practicing. Instead, they continued practicing until the first day of the second lunar month.

That morning, Li Xingdao was practicing his martial arts in the courtyard. Li Xiaohua and the other women, who were busy with chores, were also watching him curiously.

When I was practicing and lost in thought, I suddenly heard footsteps.

Li Xingdao was the first to notice the footsteps.

Hearing that the footsteps sounded a bit strange, he immediately raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to go out the door.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Laosan, with a big smile on his face, leading an old man with white hair and beard, respectfully walking towards him on the main road behind the village.

When he came into view, Liu Laosan's eyes lit up:

"Brother, come and see who I've invited for you! This is Mr. Zhang Yuanqing, the martial arts scholar from our Baitou County. Come and greet Mr. Zhang."

"Li Xingdao greets Mr. Zhang. It's only just past the first month of the lunar calendar, and you've already come all this way. Thank you for your trouble!"

At a glance, Li Xingdao saw that although the old man's hair and beard were all white, he was upright and had a natural air about him, even giving off a feeling of a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching.

He felt a slight chill in his heart and dared not be negligent. He immediately stepped forward, spoke respectfully, and even bowed.

"Good, young man. You are so young, yet you have such a body that is as strong as metal and iron, and you have even cultivated your qi and blood to your waist and abdomen. To have cultivated to this level in such a short time, you are indeed exceptionally talented."

The old man raised his eyes and looked Li Xingdao up and down. With Liu Laosan looking pleased, he nodded and said, "Not bad, a good prospect. In that case, I'll stay here."

"That's wonderful, Mr. Zhang, please feel free to stay! My brother here has already prepared a house for you, and the yard is right next to his house."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Liu Laosan was overjoyed and immediately began to speak:

"From now on, I'll bring you all your food, drink, and daily necessities. If you need anything from him, just ask. We live close by; you can just call out to him when you go out. With him serving you like this, you'd never be able to do it yourself."

Liu Laosan raised his eyebrows one last time and said with a smile:

"Who knows, you might actually train a martial arts graduate from among us."
