Note 1: Xu Xiaomei's favorability towards you has increased from 85/100 to 90/100. You have gained an advancement point and can choose one of the following: rank, skill, or item to add.
After relieving the pain of lovesickness, Xu Lian reaped the rewards as expected.
Xiaomei is Xiaomei. She is worthy of being the girl who has an 85% favorability towards him from the very beginning. This favorability level has increased too rapidly.
Xu Lian held Xiaomei's hand and walked in the yard, saying some sweet words.
Looking at the happy smile on Xiaomei's face, Xu Lian knew that he had to stay in Stone Town for two days no matter what.
So Xu Lian talked to Xiaomei, then went to the tea stall on the street and invited Lin Wan and Qin Liu to his home.
It was noon.
Xu Lian and Qin Liu went out to the street and bought a lot of food.
Xiaomei took the ingredients, took them into the kitchen, and started cooking.
Lin Wan followed him into the kitchen, "Let me help you."
Xiaomei, who was busy, looked back at her and said, "You are a guest at home. How can I ask you to help with the cooking?"
Lin Wan smiled sweetly, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists, "It's okay, Xu Lian and I are good friends."
Xiaomei blinked her eyes, vaguely understanding something, so she didn't refuse and asked curiously, "You can walk outside during the day. Are you a martial artist?"
Lin Wan nodded gently, "I guess so."
The two chatted while cooking and soon became familiar with each other and called each other sisters. Of course, this was also because Lin Wan wanted to make friends with Xiaomei. She knew her position clearly.
The lunch was very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish and meat. Of course, sumptuous was only for people in the town like Xiaomei, but for Lin Wan, it was a common meal.
The four of them ate, talked and drank a little wine.
After dinner, drink tea in the living room.
Since Xiaomei couldn't go out for a long time during the day, Xu Lian couldn't go out either, so he had to stay at home with her. Lin Wan and Qin Liu also had to stay at home.
It was not until after dinner that the four of them were able to go out and take a walk outside.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the pier.
Xu Lian and Xiaomei smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly. Only the two of them knew what this place meant to each other.
Xu Lian and Xiaomei sat at the ferry, looking at the stars and chatting.
Lin Wan would occasionally say something, showing a sense of participation.
Qin Liu felt that he was brighter than the stars in the night sky... Even though he was eloquent and had stories to tell, he couldn't say too much at this moment.
It was not until late at night that the four of them returned to the courtyard from the dock.
To this night, Xu Lian still belongs to Xiaomei. The saying "long separation is better than a new marriage" is not just a casual saying.
Note: Xu Xiaomei's favorability towards you has increased from 90/100 to 91/100. You have gained an advancement point and can choose to add points to one of the following: rank, skill, or item.
When Xu Lian received the prompt the next day, he was surprised and happy. Xiaomei's favorability had increased so rapidly.
This made him feel more sorry for Xiaomei and more reluctant to leave.
then.
He stayed in Shitou Town for five full days, accompanying Xiaomei during the day, and going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers in the evening, returning home late at night.
Of course, during these five days, I didn’t want to neglect Lin Wan too much, so I found an opportunity to visit her.
On the morning of the sixth day, Xu Lian sent Xiaomei back to her parents' home and went to Luzhu Town with Lin Wan and Qin Liu.
Over mountains and across rivers.
Crossing the no-man’s land.
For practitioners like Xu Lian and Lin Wan who were in the Ming Jin stage, this distance was nothing, but it was hard for Qin Liu, who was extremely tired.
When he arrived at Luzhu Town, Xu Lian went to the mine first. Seeing that Pu Lin had managed the mine in an orderly manner, he felt relieved.
I'm afraid that no other mine manager runs around the world like him. The managers of other mines just listen to music in the Lichunfang in the town and inspect the mines twice a day. He is completely a "hands-off boss".

When we returned to the town, we saw Yang Ye and three other people wandering around the house on Xinjie, patrolling back and forth.
Seeing Xu Lian, Yang Ye hurried over and said, "My dear son-in-law is back."
Xu Lian asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
Yang Ye reported, "Don't worry, my dear son-in-law, everything is fine. I am patrolling with people every day."
The three people who followed Yang Ye on patrol also hurried over, bowed to Xu Lian, and thanked Xu Lian for giving them such a good job.
It is indeed good. All you have to do is patrol around the house every day. It doesn't require any effort or sweat. You can find such work anywhere else. The key is that the pay is more than that of stone transporters in the mines.
Xu Lian said to Yang Ye, "Father-in-law will still be responsible for the security of this house. I am now highly regarded by the higher-ups, so I have to travel frequently."
"yes."
Yang Ye smiled and nodded. To him, being a supervisor in the mine was the same as being a patrol captain here. Anyway, as long as Xu Lian didn't have an accident, he would have a good life following Xu Lian. He knew this very well.
People passing by all looked sideways at Lin Wan, the young and beautiful woman. Not to mention Lin Wan's appearance and figure, one could tell from her clothes and temperament that she was not an ordinary woman. Moreover, the fact that she was walking outside in broad daylight showed that she was obviously a martial artist.
After Xu Lian gave instructions to Yang Ye, he took Lin Wan and Tan Liu home.
Seeing Xu Lian return home, Li Xiya and Yang Chaner wanted to come over happily, but they found that there was a male guest, so they had to avoid him.
"This girl is so beautiful."
Wang Cuiyun came over warmly and held Lin Wan's hands affectionately, sizing up Lin Wan's clothes and temperament with a shrewd look.
As for Qin Liu who was on the other side of Xu Lian, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, had shifty eyes and no temperament... Wang Cuiyun directly ignored him, mistaking him for a servant of Xu Lian or Lin Wan.
Lin Wan called her "Auntie", which made Wang Cuiyun very happy. She had never dared to think that a woman of such status would call her "Auntie" before.
Xu Lian knew that Wang Cuiyun's old illness had recurred, so he didn't say much and arranged for Lin Wan and Qin Liu to stay in a guest room.
He stayed in Stone Town for five days, and it would not be a good idea to stay in Green Bamboo Town for too short a time.
It took three days to consolidate the favorability between Sister Xiya and Chan'er.
Another two days were spent, one and a half days were spent with Pei Zhaoxi, the hot little girl, and half a day was spent visiting Chuntao. It was not because I was partial to one over the other, but Chuntao had to learn singing and dancing every day and did not have much free time.

The schedule is packed, and I'm a master of time management... It's not just talk.
It is worth mentioning that Pei Zhaoxi, the hot little girl, has improved her favorability towards him from 50 to 60. This is a great improvement. She has gradually fallen in love with this big boy, which makes Xu Lian very happy.
Chuntao's favorability also increased by 5 points to 65.
Everything is moving in a good direction. Sooner or later, the accumulation of strength will lead to a breakthrough, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Day 6.
Xu Lian took Lin Wan and Tan Liu away from Luzhu Town, took a ferry and went to Pingyang County.
From now on, his focus will be on Pingyang County. After all, Luzhu Town is too remote and lacks resources for cultivation. The raw materials he needs for advancement are only available in Pingyang County.
He added one of the two advancement points he got from Xiaomei to the rank, and the result showed that he needed two Qi Condensation Pills to be promoted to the second level of Ming Jin Stage. It is conceivable what raw materials will be needed in the future.
He even began to consider bringing the women in his family to Pingyang County so that he wouldn't have to run back and forth.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he must gain a foothold in Pingyang County and have a place there, so that he can create a stable environment and officially let the women in the family move in.
