"You should recognize this, right?"

After introducing Li Qing to each piece of equipment in the room, Lu Furong pointed to the strange-looking lounge chair.

Li Qing shook his head.

"Does it look like that device in Xu Keqing’s clinic, the one that patients lie on?" Lu Furong asked with a playful smile.

With that said, Li Qing suddenly realized it did bear a resemblance.

Only, this one was much lower than the one in Xu Keqing’s clinic.

"Although I know about this thing, I don’t really know how to use it. They usually come with instructions. Let me check," Lu Furong said as she searched around the chair and found a small booklet.

As Li Qing took a look at it, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

There was no doubt about it, this was also a great find.

"It even comes with illustrations," Li Qing exclaimed in amazement.

"It’s still early, why don’t we figure out how to use these things?"

He couldn’t wait to give them a try.

"Look at you, really trying to kill us," Lu Furong said with a light roll of her eyes, half-jokingly chiding him, "I’m not afraid of you wearing me out, but I am afraid of starving on the bed while being worn out by you. It’s almost dinner time, and we haven’t even had lunch yet!"

Li Qing laughed helplessly, "I really did forget about eating."

"Aren’t you hungry?" Lu Furong asked.

Li Qing shook his head, "I don’t feel the slightest bit hungry."

"That’s impossible, can eating a woman actually fill you up?" Lu Furong exclaimed in astonishment.

Li Qing suddenly realized that his ability to endure hunger seemed to be quite impressive now.

If it were in the past, he would have been extremely hungry by now, his stomach growling tremendously.

But today, he had only had breakfast, and despite it being this late, he really didn’t feel any hunger at all.

Could it be because of the cultivation?

Probably, that was the only plausible explanation.

"Then let’s hurry up and get something to eat," Li Qing suggested.

Lu Furong looked at Li Qing with a seductive gaze, her delicate and slender fingers lightly tracing his face, "Don’t be mad, okay, my good husband?"

"When we come back tonight, Sister and I will take good care of you. Shall we try out each of these tools then?"

Li Qing was shaken by her sultry look and tender tone, feeling a shiver running through him, his hairs nearly standing on end.

The proud and elegant Lu Furong acting so coquettishly was such a stark contrast it was nearly life-threatening.

Too enticing!

"Where did you see that I got angry?" Li Qing caught Lu Furong’s tender wrist and gave her rear a firm smack.

"Hurry up and let’s go eat, or else, I might start with you!"

Lu Furong chuckled, "Cousin, help me, there’s a smelly man who wants to finish me off in bed."

Sister Hu gave a helpless smile and said, "Stop messing around, let’s hurry up and eat, my stomach has been rumbling for a while now."

The three of them enjoyed a delightful meal of local delicacies at the hotel’s Chinese restaurant.

After dinner, it was just past five in the afternoon.

The waiter told them that it was the liveliest time to visit the beach.

The weather wasn’t hot, lots of tourists were heading out, not only could they witness the sunset over the sea, but there were also all sorts of performances on the beach.

Lu Furong instantly convinced Sister Hu to go back to the room and change into bikinis.

When they appeared in front of Li Qing, draped in scarves and bare-legged, his eyes nearly popped out.

"Look at him, his eyes are glued on us. What part of us hasn’t he seen that he’s so shocked?" Lu Furong murmured quietly in Sister Hu’s ear.

Sister Hu’s cheeks suddenly flushed with red, and she discreetly covered the key areas with her scarf.

"You don’t understand, there’s a beauty to being clothed, and there’s an allure to being undressed," Li Qing said with a smile as he came back to his senses.

"My voice was so soft, you could hear it?" Lu Furong asked in shock.

"Since when have I been deaf that I couldn’t hear it?" Li Qing’s gaze greedily swept over Sister Hu and Lu Furong as he exclaimed sincerely, "I must say, you both look really beautiful dressed like this."

Lu Furong squeezed next to Li Qing, a sly look in her eyes as she asked, "Do you prefer us this way more, or do you like us better undressed? You can’t say you like both!"

"Definitely better undressed, it’s more convenient for getting in," Li Qing immediately replied.

There was nothing difficult about this question at all.

"You’re really bad, always thinking about messing with us!" Lu Furong said with a light laugh and a playful scold.

"Because you’re too tempting, I simply can’t resist!" Li Qing said.

Lu Furong giggled, "If you had talked to me like this earlier, you definitely could have had me sooner."

"Although it was a bit roundabout, I think the best meals are worth waiting for, just like the best girls," Li Qing said with a mischievous grin.

Lu Furong suddenly blushed, and lightly punched Li Qing, "Stop it, you’re making me feel strange."

"Where’s the discomfort?" asked Li Qing with a mischievous smile.

"It’s in my heart!" Lu Furong huffed, turning around to latch onto Sister Hu’s arm.

The three of them laughed and talked as they made their way to the beach.

At this moment, the sun was about to dip below the horizon, and the colorful clouds of sunset cast a splendid array of hues across the sea.

Heaven and sea seemed to merge in that instant.

Ancient mythology spoke of gods driving chariots of the sun, rising in the east and setting in the west, returning to the depths of the sea at night.

Li Qing, witnessing this magnificent interplay of nature, definitely felt a bit of that sentiment.

In ancient times, people’s understanding of nature was limited. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Yet, they were able to imagine such grand mythological stories, which Li Qing found utterly incredible.

Modern-day people have an ever-increasing knowledge of everything, but most thoughts revolve around money.

Looking at the astonishingly vast sunset before him, Li Qing unconsciously sat down cross-legged on the beach.

Inside his Dantian, a warm current of Qi began to circulate on its own.

This time, Li Qing didn’t close his eyes, nor did he deliberately feel the presence of Qi.

He was just watching the sunset slowly approach the horizon when the Qi in his Dantian began to flow through his meridians on its own.

And the speed was many times faster than usual.

In just a moment, he had completed a full cycle of the Small Circulation.

Lu Furong and Sister Hu saw Li Qing become transfixed once more.

Believing in Li Qing’s words, they didn’t disturb him and instead walked towards the beach.

As the grand sunset slowly sank into the sea, Li Qing achieved the Grand Circulation for the first time.

This change in quantity brought a very clear qualitative improvement.

Li Qing could clearly feel the stream of Qi within his Dantian growing stronger once more.

Now it could be described as a small clump.

And his strength seemed to have surged a great deal as well.

Li Qing felt that if he were to throw a punch now, not even a cow would have time to moo.

Coming out of his cultivation, he couldn’t find Sister Hu and Lu Furong.

After walking along the beach for a while, he finally caught sight of the two of them.

But the scene before him instantly darkened Li Qing’s expression.
