XH 300 - Compensate
Once she was told what happened to her, Xiao Hua immediately accepted the reasoning provided by Long Zhu, because, why the bloody hell not?
Between the holy tea and extended lifespan, she will never hesitate to choose the latter!
Long Zhu had guessed that it might be the World Spirit that compensated her for taking away her affinity with herbs. As a second rank cultivator, Xiao Hua will age a little slower than a normal human, but she will certainly age faster than Long Zhu, the sixth rank cultivator.
By the time Xiao Hua passes away, it will be way before Long Zhu's expiry date, who will still look in his late thirties.
With her rise of cultivation, she can now spend more time with Long Zhu without worry that he will be left alone. She has not even thought of dying of old age, but the World Spirit had already thought so far ahead!
"Why don't we celebrate this fortunate event?" Long Zhu suddenly suggested after she changed her soaked nightdress.
"That sounds good."
When Long Zhu said they should celebrate, this was not the first thing that pops up in her mind. In no time, Long Zhu had them stripped down and had them back to bed with curtains down.

The moment Xiao Hua finally came back online; it was already the next day's early morning.
"Prepare the bath," Long Zhu ordered the servants waiting outside the room and Xiao Hua cuddled closer to Long Zhu, enjoying his firm muscles.
"How did you know about preparing me? Is it from Heise?" Xiao Hua asked curiously after her mind started working.
"Eighth brother had indeed given me a book," Long Zhu admitted honestly to his wife. "It was Tian Liang that gave me more books to learn more about it."
Xiao Hua's expression immediately soured. She could not help but think negatively about Tian Liang reading those books to corrupt her best friend.
"Why would he give you those books?"
"Perhaps to teach me to satisfy you in bed until you have no more complaints about marital life to be utter to Long Lian?"
Xiao Hua silently stared at her husband, who stared back at her with a clear gaze.
"A ploy to convince Long Lian to marry him?"
"I won't be surprised if it is."
"Hmph! He can dream on!"
Long Zhu laughed, gathering his wife close and peered down at her angry face. "Is my wife complaining about her husband's bed techniques?"
The angry expression quickly turned into an embarrassed one. "N-No! You... You did well..."
He had done so well that not only her womanly cave felt sore, even her hips and back felt like she had done long hours of exercise!
Her shy look and soft voice tickled a certain part of him. Last night, he had not eaten his fill when his wife passed out.
The servants quickly stepped out of the room once they heard ambiguous noises resumed behind the bed curtain.
