Mu Nujiao's fair face flushed at the sight of the bright red stain on the bedsheet.
She shyly asked, "You'll take responsibility for me, right?"
Lin Chen slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Mu Nujiao's forehead.
"Yes, don't overthink it!" Lin Chen said gently.
Lin Chen suddenly realized that while Mu Nujiao appeared to be an independent and confident woman, she was actually somewhat fragile and sensitive inside, not as confident as she seemed!
Upon receiving Lin Chen's affirmative answer, Mu Nujiao finally broke into a satisfied smile.
The two got up, washed, and had breakfast.
The transformed Mu Nujiao was exceptionally gentle; as soon as they finished breakfast, she proactively cleared the dishes, showing the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Lin Chen leaned lazily on the sofa, watching Mu Nujiao busy herself around the house. Before long, Mu Nujiao had also changed the bedsheets in the bedroom.
Seeing that Mu Nujiao was mostly done, Lin Chen teased, "Where are the old bedsheets?"
Hearing this, Mu Nujiao glared fiercely at Lin Chen and said, "None of your business!"
With that, Mu Nujiao continued to tidy up, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a little distracted.
After an unknown amount of time spent bustling about, Mu Nujiao walked over to Lin Chen and slowly sat down beside him.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.
Seeing Mu Nujiao deep in thought, hesitant to speak, Lin Chen covered his forehead and asked helplessly, "What's wrong with you now?"
Mu Nujiao looked at Lin Chen, then finally mustered the courage to whisper, "I'm wondering if I have some kind of illness?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen asked with concern, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Mu Nujiao pouted, her expression conflicted, giving off a feeling of something difficult to articulate.
"Just say whatever it is directly. If you're really uncomfortable, I'll take you to the hospital!" Lin Chen asked.
After a while, Mu Nujiao slowly began, "Last night, I remember I fainted. Isn't that very abnormal?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen burst out laughing. Mu Nujiao stared intently at Lin Chen with wide eyes.
Seeing Lin Chen laughing so happily, her slender hand immediately twisted his waist.
Lin Chen yelped in pain and immediately escaped Mu Nujiao's clutches, but his laughter did not stop.
"If you keep this up, I'll ignore you!" Mu Nujiao threatened fiercely.
Seeing that Mu Nujiao was angry, Lin Chen finally reined in his smile and comforted her, "You're not sick. The reason you fainted is because your physical constitution is too weak!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao seemed to recall something and asked confusedly, "But I shouldn't be that weak! After all, I'm an Intermediate Mage!"
Mu Nujiao had heard about such things before.
There was a significant difference in physical fitness between ordinary people and Mages. Some male Mages even specifically sought out ordinary people when looking for partners.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "You're not weak; it's just that my physical constitution is too good!"
Hearing this, Mu Nujiao pondered. Her gaze sharply scrutinized Lin Chen. After a moment of silence, she asked, "You seem to know a lot about this sort of thing?"
Mu Nujiao kept recalling everything from yesterday. Lin Chen's experienced demeanor in leading everything made her increasingly certain that he had other women besides her.
Lin Chen was stunned; Mu Nujiao's thought process caught him off guard.
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Mu Nujiao sneered and said, "Looks like I guessed correctly!"
For Mu Nujiao, it was quite normal for powerful individuals to have multiple partners; there were many such people in aristocratic families.
However, when such a thing actually fell upon her, a hint of sadness welled up in her heart; such a feeling was truly unpleasant.
Hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood. Women were sensitive creatures; with just a few words, they could guess the truth.
Lin Chen chuckled, his playful demeanor earning him a glare from Mu Nujiao.
He had expected Mu Nujiao to get angry and explode, but instead, he found her unusually calm.
"Uh... you're not angry?" After a long pause, Lin Chen tentatively asked.
Mu Nujiao snorted and said, "What's the use of being angry? Will you give up that woman for me?"
Lin Chen slowly shook his head. Mu Nujiao raised an eyebrow and said, "See, being angry is completely useless!"
Lin Chen softly said, "I'm sorry! I know this isn't fair to you, but yesterday I truly couldn't help myself. I will take responsibility for my actions!"
Lin Chen was in the wrong in this matter, so his voice was very soft, and his attitude was extremely sincere, his face full of genuine remorse!
Mu Nujiao narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing Lin Chen.
After a moment, she let out a soft sigh and said, "Remember what you said!"
Lin Chen nodded and pulled Mu Nujiao's delicate body into his embrace.
After a long while, Lin Chen chuckled softly in her ear, "Come on, I'll help you improve your physical constitution!"
With that, he got up and led Mu Nujiao towards the bedroom.
Although Mu Nujiao was confused, she still followed Lin Chen into the bedroom.
The once messy bedroom had already been tidied up by Mu Nujiao and was spotless.
Lin Chen went to the window and drew the curtains. On the day he moved into the villa, Lin Chen had thoroughly explored every nook and cranny of the entire villa.
In the blink of an eye, six black stones appeared in Lin Chen's hand. He used the black stones to arrange a hexagon on the ground.
"Stand in the middle of the formation!" Lin Chen said.
Although Mu Nujiao had many questions in her heart, she did not speak, slowly standing in the middle of the formation, looking at Lin Chen with confusion.
Instantly, a flash of light suddenly emanated from beside Lin Chen. In an instant, a dazzling Yin-Yang Bagua diagram slowly appeared.
From the center of the continuously rotating Bagua diagram, a silver-white longsword broke through the diagram and flew into Lin Chen's hand.
Looking at the astonished Mu Nujiao, Lin Chen explained, "This is my Spirit. It's a cultivation system completely different from magic. People with a Spirit can fight through their Spirit. Besides that, it can also greatly improve the owner's physical constitution. This is also my biggest secret. Next, I will help you awaken your Spirit. You just need to do as I say!"
Mu Nujiao's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Lin Chen, I just realized I've never truly understood you!" Mu Nujiao exclaimed. Lin Chen's secret was no simple matter; it was no exaggeration to say that this secret could endanger Lin Chen's life, yet Lin Chen was willing to tell her such an important secret. Mu Nujiao was very touched.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's not too late to understand now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, six faint silver lights injected into the six black stones on the ground.
Immediately, a golden glow was released from the six black stones, forming a golden light shield that enveloped Mu Nujiao.
