Noticing that Lin Ling'er seemed a little tense, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "There's no need to rush the treatment! Let's have a good chat first!"

Hu Xiaobei intended to have another nice chat with her to dispel her last bit of nervousness.

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei mention a chat, Lin Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently...

She knew Hu Xiaobei just wanted to chat to help her relax.

Seeing Lin Ling'er agree, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei got up and went to wash some fruits.

After washing them, Hu Xiaobei brought them over to Lin Ling'er, placing them in front of her leisurely!

Lin Ling'er took a look at them, and said quietly, "Xiaobei, can I eat these?"

Hearing her slightly hesitant voice, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Of course, I brought these for you. Eat as much as you like!"

"But I'm worried that eating them might cause some issues!"

Though tempted, Lin Ling'er spoke hesitantly!

After previous incidents, she truly became a bit jumpy...

Hearing her nervous words, Hu Xiaobei laughed heartily!

"No worries at all! These fruits are good for your recovery, so just eat up!"

"Alright then, I won't hold back!"

Agreeing quietly, Lin Ling'er picked one up and took a gentle bite...

Hu Xiaobei noticed she was less reserved and smiled lightly!

The reason Hu Xiaobei wanted Lin Ling'er to eat more fruit was to help her relax and let her body gradually adapt to the Nine Wood True Qi!

These fruits contained the Nine Wood True Qi!

Although not in large amounts, it could still help her adapt slightly...

Once she adapted, the treatment would be much simpler...

"Xiaobei, you should have some too; I can't eat all of these by myself!"

After eating an orange, Lin Ling'er looked at Hu Xiaobei and spoke softly!

The reason Lin Ling'er said this was because she noticed Hu Xiaobei simply watching her without any intention to eat!

Upon hearing her gentle speech, Hu Xiaobei nodded and picked up an orange!

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei asked softly, "Sister, have you ever thought about what your future would be like when you were younger?"

Hu Xiaobei realized she was still a bit nervous, so he decided to chat about something else to ease her mind.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's curious question, Lin Ling'er thought for a moment...

Soon, she put a piece of orange in her mouth and began to speak!

"Regarding the future, I hadn't really thought about it before. I only intended to take over the whole family someday. After getting poisoned, I secretly ran away from the family and only then realized I had never thought for myself before!"

Noticing her disappointment, Hu Xiaobei nodded and continued, "So, did you start thinking about yourself later on?"

"Yes! While in the cave before, I truly thought for myself! I imagined finding a somewhat perfect place and spending a lifetime peacefully with my most beloved one someday in the future!"

Biting into an apple, Hu Xiaobei was a bit surprised, "Is that it? This future sounds quite ordinary!"

With a light smile, she tidied her long hair and responded hoarsely, "It's very ordinary, but that's exactly what I need the most!"

Lin Ling'er had gone through so much before and was really tired!

She truly grew weary of all the scheming, so now she just wanted to live a simple life...

"Okay!"

Gently nodding, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you achieved your goal now?"

"Almost!"

Saying this, Lin Ling'er looked deeply at Hu Xiaobei...

Noticing her direct gaze, Hu Xiaobei smiled and continued chatting about other topics with her!

After half an hour, Hu Xiaobei heard her speak slightly annoyed!

"Alright, Xiaobei, stop giving me more; I... I really can't eat anymore, otherwise I'll really be too full!"

In the past half hour, she kept eating everything Hu Xiaobei handed over, and it really made her quite stuffed...

"Okay! Although you didn't eat much, it's almost enough!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, she glared at him and said, "What? Didn't eat much?"

"Alright! You did eat a lot!"

With a chuckle, Hu Xiaobei stood up and walked leisurely towards her...

Soon, looking at her pouting face, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Sister, the moonlight shining through the big window is so beautiful! May I have the honor of inviting you to dance?"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei bent down gentlemanly!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei extend his hand, she blushed and hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the pure white moonlight!

"The moonlight is indeed extremely beautiful!"

Praising it, Lin Ling'er shyly reached out her hand...

In an instant, she felt her small hand being held by Hu Xiaobei...

Numb!

Her whole body went numb in an instant...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know Lin Ling'er's thoughts at that moment; holding her hand, he began to slowly step back...

The reason Hu Xiaobei invited her to dance was to familiarize her with himself as much as possible.

That way, the upcoming treatment would be more convenient...

Because for the treatment, they really need to be a bit closer!

If she remained cautious of him, it would be really hard to succeed...

...

Feeling her body quite stiff, Hu Xiaobei teased with a smile, "Sister, no need to be nervous!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's tease, Lin Ling'er seemed embarrassed!

Annoyed, she glared at Hu Xiaobei and pouted, saying, "I don't need reminding!"

"Haha!"

Hu Xiaobei laughed!

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei felt Lin Ling'er had indeed relaxed a little...

After their dance, Hu Xiaobei looked at her seriously and said, "Now, let's begin the treatment!"

"Alright!"

As she agreed, Hu Xiaobei and she sat down together!

After sitting down with Hu Xiaobei, she shyly spoke in a small voice, "Now that we've sat down, can you let go of my hand?"

Hearing her slightly hesitant words, the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth curled up with a slight smile, and he said apologetically, "I really can't! I need to channel True Qi into your body through your hand later!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei mention True Qi, she looked at him in slight astonishment, "True Qi? You... you can cultivate too?"

"Yes!"

"Oh my, I thought only people from our Hidden Family could cultivate!"

Seeing her continuous surprise, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand...

"Let's talk about that later! Soon, I will channel True Qi into your body, and you need to circulate it as much as possible to suppress that runaway energy, understand?"

"Okay! I understand!"

Saying this, she also became extremely serious, knowing well this was no small matter...

If they failed later, not only she but Hu Xiaobei would also suffer...

"Since you understand, let's get started!"

Taking a light, deep breath, Hu Xiaobei closed his eyes. Feeling Hu Xiaobei's seriousness, she said nothing and gently closed her eyes as well...

At that moment, Lin Ling'er felt she could hear the distinct rhythm of her own heartbeat!

"So clear!"

Praising it, she listened carefully and felt she could also hear Hu Xiaobei's heartbeat...

She knew that because of Hu Xiaobei, she had gained a temporary ability of mental connection with him...

"Looks like there's a good chance of success!"

Thinking this, she squinted her eyes because, at that moment, Lin Ling'er felt a hint of pure energy slowly flowing toward her...
