Lin Tian entered the house and let them relax for a while.

Li Huan looked around and said Lin Tian’s house was far nicer than their tiny home.

"I’m glad you like it," Lin Tian replied.

"Is being a cultivator fun?" Li Huan asked.

"There are many enjoyable things. Let me tell you all about them, Li Huan."

Lin Tian explained many things about the world of cultivators, about magic, and about the ability to fly through the skies above the clouds.

Not only that, he also spoke about lifespan and cultivation.

The stories about cultivators living long lives were true, and Li Huan immediately asked a sharp question.

"If I live a long life, does that mean I’ll have to leave my mother behind?"

Lin Tian fell silent for a moment, glancing ahead at Su Hua as she straightened her clothes.

Slowly, Lin Tian nodded.

"That... is one of the risks. We call it severing ties with the mortal world."

"Then I don’t want to become a cultivator if it means leaving my mother alone," Li Huan replied.

"Huan’er. You mustn’t say that. You have to become a cultivator and improve your future," Su Hua said firmly.

"But that would—"

"Mother will be fine. I’m strong, remember?" Su Hua replied with a forced smile.

Li Huan lowered his head quietly, unsure how to respond.

Lin Tian watched the close bond between them, and it moved his heart enough to want to help them further.

"Can you handle household work, Su Hua?" Lin Tian asked.

"Of course, Master Lin. I can clean and cook."

"You can come with me to the Lingxian Sect. My disciples are always the ones cooking there."

"If you help take care of the meals for my disciples, it would help me greatly," Lin Tian replied.

Su Hua’s eyes widened in shock after hearing Lin Tian’s offer.

Her heart pounded rapidly, tears filled her eyes, and she lowered her head with emotion.

Three times... he’s helped me three times.

I have to do something to repay his kindness.

"What do you think?" Lin Tian asked.

"If... you truly don’t mind, then I’ll come with you, Master Lin."

"See, Li Huan? Your mother will come to the Lingxian Sect too. That means the two of you won’t have to separate," Lin Tian explained.

Li Huan lifted his head, a huge smile spreading across his face before tears suddenly spilled from his eyes.

He ran toward his mother and hugged her tightly, while Su Hua embraced her son just as firmly.

Lin Tian felt happy and relieved.

They would not have to part ways, and Su Hua was probably skilled enough at cooking to lessen the burden on An Yue and the others.

While they were hugging, the sound of a growling stomach came from their direction.

Lin Tian heard it, and Su Hua’s face immediately flushed red with embarrassment.

"Sorry, I didn’t—"

Lin Tian tapped his bag of holding and handed them a pouch containing ten low-grade spirit stones.

Su Hua quickly caught it, looking confused.

"What is this, Master Lin?"

"Go to the market and buy ingredients. You’re free to buy whatever you want."

Su Hua smiled brightly with excitement. She repeatedly lowered her head, thanking Lin Tian for his kindness.

The two of them immediately headed to the village market to buy the ingredients they wanted, including meat, fish, eggs, and various vegetables.

Lin Tian stayed silent as he watched ahead, noticing Su Hua’s clothes were messy.

With a simple hand gesture, he released white qi and neatly arranged her clothes.

He poured tea from the kettle into his cup, quietly enjoying it alone while Su Hua and Li Huan were out buying ingredients.

I need to be patient. Li Huan clearly loves his mother very much. I have to be careful.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Hua and Li Huan returned carrying many bags of food.

Lin Tian watched them and allowed them to help each other prepare the meal.

This also gave Lin Tian a chance to test Su Hua’s cooking.

If he found it delicious, he would bring Su Hua along as the sect’s head chef.

Time continued to pass. Lin Tian did not cultivate and instead spent his time drinking warm tea from his cup.

Occasionally, Li Huan would sit beside him.

Night eventually arrived, yet no other milf came, even though there were still two disciples remaining. Perhaps they would come tomorrow.

"Master, dinner is ready," Su Hua said.

Lin Tian nodded and walked to the dining room table, where the dishes looked incredibly tempting.

The aroma smelled wonderful, filled with rich spices, and Lin Tian could not wait to taste it.

"Where did you learn to cook like this?" Lin Tian asked.

"Before I got married, I worked at a restaurant in the village. So I’m used to making restaurant-style dishes," Su Hua replied.

Li Huan joined them for dinner. Lin Tian began tasting the food, and it was delicious on his tongue.

The meat was tender and juicy, the vegetables perfectly cooked, and the soup broth tasted fresh, sweet, and warm.

Lin Tian tasted every dish on the table. Nothing was lacking. Everything was perfect.

"You must become my sect’s head chef. My disciples will be completely captivated by food this delicious," Lin Tian said.

Su Hua smiled. She was willing to accept the opportunity as long as she had a place to stay, food to eat, and could continue living with Li Huan.

Li Huan was overjoyed. His decision was firm now.

He would become a cultivator and stay by his mother’s side forever until she grew old and passed away.

Their dinner eventually ended. Li Huan grew sleepy and fell asleep in one of the empty rooms.

"He truly is a devoted son to his mother," Lin Tian remarked.

"I’m lucky to have Li Huan in my life," Su Hua said softly.

Lin Tian slowly walked toward Li Huan. White qi formed into an orb in his hand before he sent it into the boy’s body.

Su Hua looked confused. "What was that, Master?"

"A Qi Orb to awaken his talent. During the process, he will fall into a deep sleep."

The woman smiled and stepped into the room as well, leaning her body close beside Lin Tian.

Her hand slowly slid toward the area beneath Lin Tian’s stomach, while Su Hua’s face turned red.

"You’ve been too kind to me and Li Huan."

"I have nothing to offer except my body," Su Hua whispered seductively.

She grabbed Lin Tian’s hand and guided it beneath the simple robe she was wearing.

Lin Tian was stunned. His palm felt Su Hua’s breasts, full and soft, while her nipples stood firm against his touch.

"You—"

Without warning, Su Hua pressed her lips against Lin Tian’s.

Lin Tian was startled, then slowly closed his eyes and allowed himself to feel Su Hua’s tongue against his own.

"MMMPPPH."

Lin Tian’s hand continued kneading Su Hua’s breast gently, making the woman moan softly beside her sleeping son.

Their lips finally parted, and Su Hua looked at Lin Tian with a seductive gaze.

"Want to continue somewhere else?" Su Hua asked.

"Of course."
