Su Shanyue looked at Luo Xiu's well-defined yet not overstated muscles, and her delicate face blushed faintly. She asked him with sign language why he also needed to take off his clothes.

Luo Xiu casually tossed his clothes aside. "You'll know shortly. Hurry up and undress."

Su Shanyue puffed her cheeks and glared at Luo Xiu threateningly.

Luo Xiu tactfully turned around to face the other way.

A moment later, Su Shanyue was left in nothing but her undergarments—a pink set with lace trim. She walked over and gently poked Luo Xiu's back with her finger.

Luo Xiu turned and was momentarily stunned. Despite admiring her every day, Su Shanyue's figure was something he could never get tired of, especially when she wore her yoga outfits. However, he didn't harbor any inappropriate thoughts; it was merely pure appreciation. After all, Su Shanyue didn't possess the same Innate Allure Bone as Su Shenyun, so it wasn't enough to make him lose control with just a couple of glances.

"Finish undressing."

Su Shanyue gritted her teeth, steeled herself, and removed the last of her restraints.

Faced with such an exquisite sight, Luo Xiu secretly swallowed and stole another discreet glance, even mentally comparing her to Su Shenyun and Lin Xiyue. But to be frank, all three are exceptional, each with their own merits. They're simply incomparable.

"Take this," Luo Xiu said, collecting his thoughts. He took out the pill he had refined earlier and handed it to her.

Upon seeing it, Su Shanyue's eyes widened in astonishment. She quickly gestured to him, asking if it was an Elixir. As the young lady of a Martial Family, she had naturally seen Elixirs before.

But Luo Xiu shook his head. "Strictly speaking, this is just a pill, not quite an Elixir, because you don't need one." He continued, "In other words, this is a Profound Meridian Opening Pill, not a Profound Meridian Opening Elixir. Its purpose is to help stabilize your meridians, prevent them from becoming chaotic or damaged, and lessen your pain later. I also added Golden Iris Orchid to strengthen the resilience of your meridians."

Su Shanyue took the pill from Luo Xiu and examined it closely, somewhat reluctant to take it. Even if this pill wasn't quite an Elixir, it was still priceless. She never expected Luo Xiu to produce something so valuable so casually. In that moment, her curiosity about his origins only deepened.

"After you take it, sit cross-legged on the bed," Luo Xiu said seriously.

Su Shanyue nodded, gathered her thoughts, and swallowed the pill in one gulp before climbing onto the bed to sit cross-legged. Luo Xiu followed, sitting cross-legged behind her.

"Get ready, I'm about to start. It might hurt a little, so just bear with it."

As he spoke, he stretched out both palms and rested them on Su Shanyue's smooth, fair back. Wisps of Spiritual Energy emerged from his palms and swiftly entered her body.

As the Spiritual Energy filled her, Su Shanyue's delicate body shuddered, and a muffled groan of pain escaped her. She hadn't expected it to be so painful from the very beginning. Her entire body felt as if it were weighed down by hundreds of pounds, and her bones felt like they were about to fall apart. The discomfort was so intense she could barely breathe. It was a good thing she had been training relentlessly these past few days, which had significantly improved her physical condition. No wonder Luo Xiu had insisted she train first. Otherwise, she truly wouldn't have been able to endure it.

While secretly channeling his Qi, Luo Xiu explained in a measured tone, "It's quite simple. There's a Seal within your body locking away the Void Zen Sound. What I'm doing now is breaking that Seal, then I'll immediately use my own seal to lock the Void Zen Sound inside you again, leaving only a small gap for it to slowly seep out."

"That way, you'll be able to speak."

"Now, don't think about anything. Just relax your body and mind, and leave everything to me."

...

「Outside the door.」

Sun Li and Xu Qianqing had been waiting for a long time and were getting bored.

"I wonder what's taking them so long in there," Sun Li grumbled.

Xu Qianqing smiled gently. "Miss Su's condition is quite unusual, after all. I suppose it might take a bit longer."

Sun Li looked at her with wide, watery eyes. "Hey, Qian Qing, let's go out tonight! We can celebrate for Mute Su."

Xu Qianqing chuckled lightly. "If you want to go out, then let's go."

Sun Li said, "I want to get my hair dyed. I saw a caramel honey tea color online recently that looks pretty good. I want to try it."

"I need to get my nails done, too. The other day, while I was exhausted and lay down, Xiu sneakily cut them all off, saying long nails were bad for training. That's fine, but the worst part is that he did a terrible job."

Xu Qianqing couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't he cut them because you were scratching him so hard? How come your version of the story is different from his?"

Sun Li rolled her eyes and changed the subject. "Right, I also need to get a full-body spa treatment. After that, we can go to a bar for some fun."

...

Watching the chattering Sun Li, Xu Qianqing was speechless. The lives of these wealthy young ladies are really something else.

Just then, a strange sound came from inside the room. Sun Li and Xu Qianqing exchanged a glance, their faces immediately turning red.

"Is... is that Mute Su moaning?"

PFFT!

Hearing this, Xu Qianqing burst out laughing. Miss Sun can really be shocking sometimes with the risqué things she blurts out.

Sun Li pressed her ear against the door. "Qianqing, listen! She's doing it again."

"Holy cow, what is Xiu doing in there? He's not bullying Mute Su, is he?"

...

「Inside the room.」

Luo Xiu took a deep breath, withdrew his hands, and got off the bed. In truth, it wasn't a difficult task for him; it was a simple matter of breaking one seal and applying another.

Su Shanyue was drenched in sweat, lying limp on the bed without the will to move an inch, as if she had just given birth. At that moment, mysterious, glowing green lines had spread across her fair skin. The luminous patterns wriggled as if alive, eventually converging at her Dantian in her abdomen to form an exquisite, wing-like pattern.

Luo Xiu looked at the pattern, and seeing Su Shanyue completely unclothed, his mind suddenly drifted into wicked territory.

Shortly after, the glowing green lines faded, replaced by a golden-purple mark on her abdomen that looked incredibly sexy and alluring, like a tattoo.

Luo Xiu averted his gaze, reined in his wild thoughts, and said earnestly, "This is my Seal Charm Script. It will only disappear once you've completely mastered the Void Zen Sound."

Su Shanyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes and propped herself up on her elbows.

Luo Xiu watched her. "Now, try to speak."

Su Shanyue met his gaze, gently parted her lips, and slowly called out, "Luo... Xiu..."

Her voice was hoarse and raw, yet it was also pleasant—clean and sweet.

A smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face. "Good. Let's try again. Repeat after me."

Su Shanyue nodded.

Luo Xiu began, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers..."

Su Shanyue stared at him, utterly exasperated. She had barely started learning to speak, and he was already hitting her with a tongue twister? He had to be joking.

A moment later, after Su Shanyue struggled to finish the tongue twister, Luo Xiu nodded with a smile. "Good. There shouldn't be any more problems. But remember what I told you before: try not to speak in front of others. If you must, don't say much, and keep your voice low."

Su Shanyue looked at Luo Xiu with gratitude and nodded vigorously. Then she suddenly lunged forward and embraced him tightly, tears welling in her eyes as she rasped, "Thank you."

Luo Xiu patted her back, then froze as he remembered she was completely naked. The wonderful sensation and the alluring fragrance sent his thoughts wandering again.

"Um... you should put your clothes on first. Get some rest tonight."

"Okay."

No sooner had Luo Xiu stepped out than Sun Li and Xu Qianqing rushed into the room.

"Mute Su, how are you?!"

With tears in her beautiful eyes, Su Shanyue nodded at her and gave her a hug.

Sun Li hugged her back, teasing, "Mute Su, why are you as weak as someone who's just given birth?"

Su Shanyue pinched her in annoyance, a lingering fear washing over her as she recalled the pain she had endured. She would rather die than experience that agony a second time.

Sun Li looked at her expectantly. "Come on, Mute Su, say something! I want to hear you speak."

But Su Shanyue just shook her head gently.

Sun Li puffed her cheeks. "Say it! I heard you moaning in there!"

Looking helpless, Su Shanyue finally spoke softly, "Xiao Li, stop messing around. Luo Xiu said..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, Sun Li and Xu Qianqing clapped their hands over their ears and scrambled away. In that instant, both girls felt as if their heads were about to explode with pain.

Frightened, Su Shanyue quickly fell silent. She gave them an apologetic look and began to communicate with sign language.

...

「Meanwhile.」

After returning to his room, Luo Xiu went straight to the washroom, where he painfully coughed up a pool of black blood. His condition hadn't acted up for days, but he hadn't expected it to flare up today after using his Spiritual Energy.

It took him a long while to recover. He walked out of the bathroom and lay down lazily on the bed, his mood sinking as he thought about his numbered days.

If possible, who wouldn't want to live a little longer? Who wouldn't want to love someone deeply and live a simple life together forever?

His phone suddenly rang, pulling him from his thoughts. Picking it up, he saw that it was Lin Xiyue.

"What's up?"

On the other end, Lin Xiyue cut to the chase. "Are you free tonight? Let's meet."

Luo Xiu suddenly remembered it was Monday. And for some reason, he felt a strong urge to see her.

"Okay."

"I'll send you the address in a bit. Just come straight over."
