Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"Once Yu Yan's matter is settled, we will go to Snow Moon City together."

"The elixirs in the mirror space are available for you to use whenever you need them; there's no need to be restrictive."

After Lin Quan said this, what could Li Hanyi do? She simply nodded again, her expression calm yet solemn.

Before Lin Quan could speak again, she quietly turned around and said in a soft voice, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back to Snowmoon City."

He looked around the hall—apart from Lin Quan, all the other women were his entourage.

Li Hanyi no longer harbored the same resistance as before; Lin Quan's image had already quietly taken root in her heart.

The thin veil between the two, though seemingly light and transparent, was actually as tough as silk and could not be easily lifted in a short time.

Swah——

Seeing that no one tried to stop her, she had a sudden thought, and her figure vanished like snow melting in the wind, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Sister Xue Ru, Sister Zhu Qing, after we left, did something interesting happen?"

Watching her leave, Qiao Jingjing's eyes flashed, and she immediately turned her head, smiling as she approached Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing.

The two women exchanged a smile, making no attempt to hide their feelings, and in a few words recounted the scene in the bathroom—Lin Quan helped Li Hanyi, who had slipped, his palm against her back, their breaths mingling, her ears turning red but she did not pull away…

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

After listening, Qiao Jingjing's eyes sparkled, and she glanced at Lin Quan with a smile, deliberately drawing out her words:

"My lord, how did you enjoy it when Han Yi took the initiative to embrace you?"

Lin Quan rolled her eyes, and before she could speak, she interrupted with a laugh:

"At this rate, it seems that in a few days, 'Sister Hanyi' will be added to our sisterhood!"

Seeing her teasing so unrestrainedly, Lin Quan looked helpless, which made Wang Yuyan and the others cover their mouths and chuckle, their eyes full of mischief.

As the laughter subsided, Lin Quan raised his hand and gently pressed it down, and the women finally stopped laughing and quieted down.

He turned his gaze to Qiao Jingjing, his tone calm: "How was your journey?"

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan exchanged a smile and did not hide anything—without Lin Quan's burden, their minds were clear, and they could fly through the air as if walking on flat ground.

Starting from Leigushan, we have already covered most of the journey in a single day.

If all goes well, we should arrive at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains around noon tomorrow.

After listening, Lin Quan simply nodded: "Get some rest tonight, no need to rush."

"Life comes first; everything else can wait."

"Send me a message as soon as you arrive in the Tianshan Mountains."

After giving his instructions, Lin Quan's expression suddenly turned serious, his tone became more somber, and he solemnly added:

"Oh, and don't forget to hurry up and refine the soul ring..."

"The sooner you master it, the better you can suppress that restless yin energy, lest things get complicated and unforeseen circumstances arise..."

"Should we... take a break?"

With the matter settled, Lin Quan turned his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, before his eyes swept lightly over the four women.

"snort!"

Qiao Jingjing lifted her eyelids, scoffed coldly, and without saying a word, took Wang Yuyan's arm and left: "Yuyan, let's go back inside."

"I...I..."

Wang Yuyan was pulled so hard she stumbled. Before she could say anything, her cheeks burned, her eyes trembled, and she hesitated, her body already half-dragged and half-carried away by Qiao Jingjing.

Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a smile, their eyes and brows revealing undisguised delight.

Chen Xueru immediately stood up and gently hooked her fingertips around Zhu Zhuqing's elbow: "Sister Zhuqing, let's go, it's time to rest."

In a short while, the living room, which had been filled with laughter and chatter, suddenly became empty, leaving only Lin Quan standing there.

He opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but before the thought even formed, he had already taken a step and was moving like the wind, heading straight for Qiao Jingjing's room.

More than an hour later, he quietly turned around and stepped into Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing's room.

More than an hour later, the room finally fell silent, with only the sound of even, long breaths remaining.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan got up, quickly ate a few bites of breakfast, and then leaped out of the main world, speeding through the air towards the Tianshan Mountains.

Not long after the two left, Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing also woke up, their faces as beautiful as peach blossoms and their spirits clear and refreshed. After washing up and having breakfast, they came to the courtyard side by side—one imparting all her knowledge, and the other listening attentively, their techniques and mental cultivation flowing silently.

As the sun rose higher and it approached noon, Lin Quan, feeling refreshed, pushed open the door and strolled lightly into the courtyard.

At a glance, Chen Xueru was sitting cross-legged on the blue stone, holding a crystal core with a faint glow in her palm, repeatedly drawing qi into her meridians to hone her Wuxiang Divine Skill; Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, closed her eyes to regulate her breathing, her internal energy as fine as silk threads, gradually dissipating the remaining malevolent energy in the third black ring.

The first two spirit rings had long been completely tamed and merged with her bloodline; as Lin Quan's cultivation improved, the age of her spirit rings was also quietly increasing.

This third dark soul ring, after being tempered day and night for the past few days, has lost nine-tenths of its resentment and venom, leaving only a thin layer of obscure aftertaste.

Complete refining takes as little as three to five days, or at most ten days.

Lin Quan watched quietly for a while without saying a word, only stretching his arms and yawning, then looking up at the sky—

It was almost lunchtime, so he turned and headed to the kitchen.

With a flickering fire in the stove and flashes of knives, several steaming dishes were quickly served: rich and flavorful ribs from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, crispy and golden stir-fried beast liver, and tender marrow balls simmering in clear broth...

"Tsk tsk tsk—you're really getting better and better at controlling the heat..."

He wiped the sweat from his brow and chuckled to himself.

Before he could finish speaking, and before the two people in the courtyard could respond, the time-space mirror at his waist suddenly vibrated, and a message appeared abruptly—

It was sent by Wang Yuyan and Qiao Jingjing. It turned out that they had returned to the martial arts world early in the morning, using their full mental power to travel through the air, and had now landed steadily at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

Lin Quan pondered for a moment, then with a slight movement of his fingertips, sent back a concise reply.

Meanwhile, Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan exchanged only a glance before understanding each other perfectly. In a flash, they drifted back to the main world like two fallen leaves.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

As soon as the figure landed, Lin Quan spoke up loudly, his voice carrying a hint of warmth and familiarity: "You've come at the perfect time! Go and call Xue Ru and Zhu Qing, dinner's ready—"

Qiao Jingjing nodded without hesitation, turned and walked into the courtyard, her voice clear and bright: "Xueru, Zhuqing, let's stop practicing for now and eat!"

Before Lin Quan could wait any longer, four figures stepped into the restaurant one after another.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingertips. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke softly:

"How about... calling her Sister Hanyi?"

Lin Quan shook his head: "She's staring at those ancient medicinal herbs, she can't take a single step away."

He paused, then added, "After we finish this meal, I'll go back to Yu Yan's place with Jingjing and Yu Yan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four women stopped talking and silently started eating.

Lunch was quickly finished, and Lin Quan didn't bother to clean up the dishes, handing them directly to Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing.
