"Mei Auntie! What's wrong, Mei Auntie? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Qin Chuan shouted from outside the door, "Mei Auntie, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

The stepmother, who was originally comforting herself, thought she was hallucinating.

It wasn't until the knocking sound came that she reacted.

She quickly wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, then said, "No... no need, Xiao Chuan, I'm fine."

"You were crying out in such pain, and you say you're fine?"

Qin Chuan, outside the door, was a bit anxious, "Mei Auntie, don't hold it in; the more you endure, the more uncomfortable it will be, and it will worsen your condition."

Upon hearing this, the stepmother felt warmth in her heart but couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

"Xiao Chuan, Aunt Mei is really fine, you should go rest now," the stepmother urged.

However, Qin Chuan still felt uneasy and opened the door to walk in.

"On such a hot day, you're still covering yourself with such a thick quilt, and you say you're fine?" Qin Chuan was a bit guilty.

If his cultivation level were higher, he could help his stepmother cure her illness, saving her from this torment.

Upon hearing this, the stepmother's cheeks turned red, "I... I'm not dressed yet, so... that's why..."

"Oh oh oh..."

An awkward expression flashed across Qin Chuan's face, then he quickly asked his stepmother to extend her hand so he could check her pulse.

During the pulse checking, Qin Chuan couldn't help but frown.

Strange.

Mei Auntie's vitality had recovered quite a bit.

Logically, she shouldn't be in such pain.

Why was she still so uncomfortable, both from the recent treatment and afterward when he heard her call his name?

The voice carried a sense of suppression; she was clearly holding something back.

"It seems that the energy within is too domineering; it's resisting my treatment," Qin Chuan judged internally.

Whoever left such a vicious method inside Mei Auntie.

If I encounter that guy, I'll make sure he experiences the exact suffering that Mei Auntie endured!

Qin Chuan silently promised in his heart.

After confirming multiple times that the stepmother was fine, he left anxiously.

After taking a shower, he didn't dare delay for a moment and immediately entered a state of cultivation.

Even if he massaged his stepmother continuously for a month, it would only slow down the damage of the energy to her body.

To permanently eliminate future troubles, he would need to reach Foundation Establishment to expel the energy from her body.

Of course, to raise his level, there was another way, which was Dual Cultivation!

However, at the moment, Qin Chuan's only Dual Cultivation partner was the counselor, Jian Ya.

This was clearly not enough.

But Qin Chuan didn't want to casually find a woman for Dual Cultivation.

Firstly, he feared contracting diseases; secondly, Dual Cultivation with ordinary people wasn't particularly effective.

The best would be to Dual Cultivate with a Cultivator with a renowned spiritual vessel, followed by women with a renowned spiritual vessel, and lastly, ordinary women.

Of course, it's not that ordinary women can't be involved in Dual Cultivation; it's just that the slight improvement is negligible.

Qin Chuan shook his head, stopped thinking, and continued his diligent practice.

The next day, after breakfast, he appeared at Jiangcheng University.

As a transfer student, he didn't have much interaction with his classmates.

However, this allowed him to focus more on his own matters.

The class time passed quickly, and soon it was noon.

But just as Qin Chuan was about to go for lunch, he suddenly received a message from counselor Jian Ya saying she had something to discuss and wanted him to drop by her office after class.

"Just gave it yesterday, and today again?"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile wryly.

Even now, he felt like he was dreaming.

He had actually become a hookup buddy with his counselor.

Truly, city women are quite liberated.

Qin Chuan packed his things and went directly to the school's administration building.

Jian Ya's office was on the third floor.

At this time, most teachers were already off for lunch, making the entire administration building seem a bit deserted.

"Could she be thinking of doing that in the office?"

Qin Chuan thought to himself, although Jian Ya hadn't explicitly mentioned wanting it in the message.

But, in Qin Chuan's view, she likely did.

Otherwise, if it were truly something important, she could have just explained briefly in the message.

Just that Qin Chuan didn't expect Jian Ya to be so bold.

Qin Chuan took a deep breath and approached Jian Ya's office door with a nervous heart.

The door wasn't locked; it was slightly ajar.

Qin Chuan pushed the door and went in, but the large office, besides a few desks, had nothing else.

Not a person, or even a ghost, in sight.

"I'm in the archive room getting some materials, just sit at my workstation for a bit, wait for me,"

Jian Ya replied with a message after Qin Chuan's inquiry.

Receiving the message, Qin Chuan had no doubts and found Jian Ya's place, sitting down.

Jian Ya's workstation faced away from the door, and sitting in one of those ergonomic computer chairs, all that could be seen coming from behind was a blurry silhouette.

After a while, he heard the sound of high heels clacking on the floor from the door.

Just as he was about to turn the chair around, a pair of jade hands suddenly extended from behind the chair.

Before Qin Chuan could react, the person hugged him tightly through the chair.

"Baby, so many days without finding me, did you find someone outside?"

At first, Qin Chuan thought it was Jian Ya, but as soon as the person spoke, Qin Chuan realized it wasn't.

"I..."

Qin Chuan was about to speak, but the hand reached to his chest and nonchalantly squeezed it.

Then came a scream that echoed throughout the office.

"Ah!!!"

The person clearly realized they had the wrong person, quickly released their hand, and angrily questioned, "Who are you, and why are you sitting at my Yaya's place?"

Qin Chuan quickly stood up and looked back.

Immediately, a tall, graceful figure appeared in his vision.

Her neat, short brown hair was slightly curly, distributed in a two-eight ratio, falling gracefully on her smooth forehead, perfectly complementing her cool, beautiful, melon-shaped face.

She was dressed in a woman's suit, a white shirt with a gray jacket, and gray wide-leg pants.

Despite the wide-leg pants, because the shirt was tucked into her waist, it was vaguely discernible that what was under the wide-leg pants were a pair of absolutely stunning long legs.

Paired with a pair of silver high heels on her feet,

a strong aura, like a queen, stood vividly before Qin Chuan.

"I... I'm Teacher Jian's student; she asked me to wait here," Qin Chuan explained.

The imposing woman frowned, "What just happened, don't mention it to anyone. If I hear a word outside, you'll be in trouble."

Qin Chuan nodded, instinctively bowing his head, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Meanwhile, the imposing woman also began to size Qin Chuan up.

Her first impression of this young man was shy; besides that, he had a rugged handsomeness.

Qin Chuan's handsomeness was the type that grew on you, becoming more and more appealing the longer you looked.

Unlike the trendy pretty boys, who at first glance seem handsome, but after a couple more looks feel awkward, lacking the crucial masculinity a man should have.

Seeing Qin Chuan's awkward expression, the woman's mood slightly adjusted.

She looked at Qin Chuan with interest, then suddenly asked, "Have you been with Yaya?"
