"Nannan, how do you feel about your cultivation now?" Ye Xiao suddenly looked at Guan Xiaonan and said.

Guan Xiaonan was caught off guard by Ye Xiao's question, especially considering the setting. She hadn't expected him to ask about her cultivation progress at this moment. However, Guan Xiaonan now felt there was no need to hold back from Ye Xiao, so she candidly shared, "Well, the speed of cultivation is quite stable. My dad said that within two years, there's a chance I could reach Yellow Rank Late Stage. And if I'm lucky and work hard, reaching Yellow Rank Peak within five years is not impossible—of course, the chances are slim."

For an ordinary Martial Artist, achieving Yellow Rank Peak was already remarkable, just like Guan Chongshan who had practiced for two or three decades and had only achieved Xuan Rank. It was hard to believe that Guan Chongshan could have reached Yellow Rank Peak when he was twenty-five.

"That's not very fast!" Ye Xiao exclaimed.

Hearing Ye Xiao's comment, Guan Xiaonan couldn't help but respond with a wry smile, "You think everyone is like you? My dad said you're exceptionally talented and shouldn't be measured by ordinary standards."

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled, "My father-in-law is quite intelligent, isn't he?"

"Who is your father-in-law?" Guan Xiaonan's face blushed as she protested, "You have no shame!"

"Guan Chongshan is my father-in-law, wife. Don't you think you're his biological daughter?" Ye Xiao asked with feigned surprise.

Guan Xiaonan could clearly see that Ye Xiao was deliberately teasing her, so she immediately started hitting his chest, exclaiming, "Stop talking nonsense, stop it!"

"Cough, cough!" Ye Xiao coughed lightly twice.

Guan Xiaonan immediately stopped, looking at Ye Xiao with concern, "Ye Xiao, are you okay? I didn't use much force."

"Heh heh, of course, I'm fine. Who am I, anyway? The indomitable Xiaoqiang. You can tell by my stamina in that area," Ye Xiao said proudly.

Guan Xiaonan realized then that this guy was just playing around with her.

"Hmph, I'm not dealing with you anymore," said Guan Xiaonan, obviously annoyed.

Ye Xiao smiled softly, pulling Guan Xiaonan into his arms, "You can't ignore me. If you do, I won't be able to eat, drink, or sleep."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Guan Xiaonan felt an upsurge of happiness. However, recalling what he had just said, she promptly asked, "Ye Xiao, you asked me about the speed of my cultivation. Is there something on your mind?"

Ye Xiao grinned, replying, "Well, there is something. I was just wondering about your cultivation speed. If it's not fast enough, I could help you out!"

"How would you help?" Guan Xiaonan looked at Ye Xiao with curiosity.

Ye Xiao chuckled, "There are two ways. First, Dual Cultivation, and second, medicinal assistance!"

"Dual Cultivation?" Upon hearing these words, Guan Xiaonan's brows furrowed as she said, "You're not talking about that thing from fantasy novels where men and women cultivate together, are you?"

"That's basically it," Ye Xiao confirmed.

"Just tell me the second option. I highly suspect you have ulterior motives!" Guan Xiaonan didn't believe in that sort of thing. She suspected that Ye Xiao was using Dual Cultivation as an excuse just to be intimate with her more often.

Ye Xiao knew this girl would jump to the wrong conclusion, but he didn't insist, instead he said with a smile, "The other method is medicinal assistance. Using medicine can have side effects, but the speed of cultivation could increase by many times. With your current strength, increasing it tenfold should be no problem."

"Tenfold?" Guan Xiaonan didn't pay much attention to the so-called side effects. What caught her attention was the tenfold increase!

"Yes, others have experienced a twelvefold effect!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"Twelvefold?" Guan Xiaonan exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, cultivating for an hour would be equivalent to around ten hours of cultivation?"

"Exactly," Ye Xiao affirmed.

Guan Xiaonan immediately said, "Okay, I choose the second option."

Ye Xiao laughed, "Don't be in a rush to choose. The first method has no side effects, and as long as you're careful not to get pregnant, it's okay. But the second method can have side effects on your body."

Guan Xiaonan directly ignored Ye Xiao's second suggestion to coax her into the first method, and said, "Just tell me the side effects of the second method."

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "You still don't trust me, huh?"

"No, not at all, I just want to know what the side effects of the second one are," Guan Xiaonan said.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright, listen up. The side effect of the second method is that once the effect of the medicine wears off, your own cultivation speed will become much slower than your current pace. That is to say, once you use this drug for assistance, you will have to continue using it if you want to improve your strength."

"No way, that sounds a bit like it could be addictive, doesn't it?" Guan Xiaonan said skeptically.

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "You might say that."

Guan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "Are there any other side effects?"

"Other side effects?" Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Do you actually want there to be other side effects? Isn't this one enough?"

"No, I want to know if there are any others," Guan Xiaonan said.

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "There are no others."

"Have you used it?" Guan Xiaonan inquired.

Ye Xiao said, "No, I cultivate much faster than the average person, so I have no need for it."

"Oh, right, that makes sense. But is this medicine in ample supply? If after using it a few times you can't anymore, wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Guan Xiaonan worriedly said to Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao said, "You don't need to worry about that. As long as I'm around, I'll keep supplying the medicine continuously. Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and the other girls around me have all used this drug. Oh right, I personally concocted this medicine, so you can be assured about its safety."

"You concocted it yourself?" Guan Xiaonan was immediately surprised upon hearing this from Ye Xiao, though after hearing so much, Guan Xiaonan had made her decision.

Guan Xiaonan then said, "Alright, I've decided to use it. I believe you won't let my cultivation speed slow down. If my strength is too weak, won't you have to be distracted thinking about how to protect me? Plus, I wouldn't be able to help you."

"Hehe, clever girl. If you want to use it, you can do so now. I bet you're eager to take a bath right about now," Ye Xiao said to Guan Xiaonan with a smile.

Ye Xiao said, "Smart indeed, the medicine is actually not to be ingested, it's for use in a bath. I noticed your bathtub at home is quite nice, really suitable for a bath."

Guan Xiaonan's residential bathroom separated the shower area with a sliding door, leaving the outer part for the toilet.

"What should I do now?" Guan Xiaonan asked, looking at the bathtub filled with water, then at Ye Xiao.

At that moment, Ye Xiao somehow had a small crystal bottle in his hand. The bottle contained a bit of dark green liquid, very little of it!

Guan Xiaonan looked at the liquid and asked Ye Xiao, "Is this the medicine?"

"Exactly!" Ye Xiao said as he opened the small crystal bottle containing the Source Life Liquid and slowly poured it into the bathtub!

Guan Xiaonan held her breath, intently watching the little crystal bottle as a drop of dark green liquid suddenly fell into the bathtub, and miraculously, something happened.

The previously clear water turned dark green with just that one drop in the tub!

"Ah?" Guan Xiaonan exclaimed in surprise at the change in the tub, truly finding it hard to believe. Just a small drop of liquid turned so much water a different color—and such a deep color too! Could that much clear water really not dilute a small drop of liquid?

"What are you spacing out for? Go take your bath," Ye Xiao said to Guan Xiaonan with a laugh.

Guan Xiaonan looked at the dark green water, which seemed almost poisonous, and hesitated.

Ye Xiao said, "Has the former female tyrant become afraid of a tub of clear water now?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guan Xiaonan immediately huffed with defiance and said, "Who's afraid? I just didn't know when to get in. Now that you've said it, I know it's time to enter the water."
