342: Chapter 342 Take Care of Your Health

Qin Lin had never experienced this kind of feeling before.

He had been with many women, but their skin was piled up with skincare products; it was smooth, but lacked vitality.

The skin of Qing Yue, Hong Yao, and Qing He was nourished by Spiritual Qi; every inch of it was alive, breathing, glowing, and responding to his touch.

Although the urban women on The Ark also had cultivation bases and could Cultivate, their skin condition was still not as good as the primitive and natural state of those three.

Qin Lin stood in the hallway, touching the dark circles under his eyes; Li Ying had already left.

Han Yurou poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Dinner is ready!"

Qin Lin was addicted.

This was not just Li Ying's opinion; it was the consensus of everyone on The Ark.

Han Yurou said that in the morning, she saw Qin Lin coming out of Qing Yue's room when she got up; at noon, she went to the living room and saw Qin Lin coming out of Hong Yao's room; and before dinner, she went to the hallway and saw Qin Lin standing at Qing He's door knocking.

"Day in and day out, all he does is eat, sleep, and knock on doors."

Han Yurou said to Han Qing in the kitchen.

Han Qing was chopping vegetables, the knife rising and falling with an unchanging rhythm: "How do you know he was knocking?"

"I saw it. The door was open, he stood at the doorway and asked, 'Qing He, are you there?' Qing He said, 'Yes,' and then he went in."

"And then?"

"Then the door closed."

Han Qing's knife paused for a moment, then continued chopping.

Han Yurou stood by her mother's side watching her chop vegetables. After waiting a while without getting a response, she said again, "Mom, do you think Brother Qin Lin is a bit too much?"

"Too much what?"

"Just too... too..."

"Too insatiable?" Han Qing finished the sentence for her.

Han Yurou thought about it and nodded: "Yes, that's the word. Can he handle it all by himself?"

Han Qing put down the knife and looked at her daughter.

There was no jealousy or dissatisfaction in Han Yurou's eyes, only a pure sense of curiosity.

"You just can't stay idle all day, can you? Want to become a peeping tom?"

Han Qing sighed and picked up the knife to continue chopping vegetables.

"Whether he can handle it or not is his business. Why are you worrying so much? Where is Qin Yue?"

"In the living room, playing with Qing Yue. Qing Yue is braiding her hair, and Qin Yue is being very good, sitting perfectly still."

Han Qing's knife paused again.

She didn't say anything, but the corner of her mouth curled up.

Li Ying had the biggest issue with Qin Lin's current state.

It wasn't because she was jealous, but because Qin Lin hadn't been coming to the Third Floor lately.

Before, he would come at least every few days, either to stay the night, or just to sit and chat, have a cup of tea, and check on her cultivation progress. Now, he barely even passes through the hallway.

For several nights, Li Ying waited in the hallway for a long time without seeing him.

She stood at the end of the hallway, looking at the door of Room 015, then turned and went back to her room.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, while Qin Xu slept soundly in the crib nearby.

The next morning, Li Ying intercepted Qin Lin in the living room. Qin Lin had just come out of Qing He's room, his hair still wet; he had clearly just taken a shower.

Li Ying looked him up and down, her gaze lingering on a red mark on his neck.

"Brother Qin Lin, what happened to your neck?"

Qin Lin reached up and touched his neck: "A mosquito bite."

"There are mosquitoes on The Ark?"

"Maybe."

Li Ying looked at him without speaking.

Qin Lin felt a bit guilty under her gaze and looked away.

Li Ying reached out and tapped him on the shoulder, not too lightly, not too heavily.

"Don't overdo it, take care of your health. You have to take care of so many people by yourself; do you think you're made of iron?"

Qin Lin looked at her without speaking.

Li Ying turned and left, but after a few steps, she stopped without turning back: "Come to the Third Floor next time. I made you some soup. If you don't come, no one will drink it."

Qin Lin stood in the hallway, watching Li Ying's back disappear.

He touched his neck. That red mark wasn't from a mosquito; it was from Qing He biting him last night.

It didn't hurt when she bit him, just like a mosquito sting, but by the next morning, it had turned red.

Qing He said she didn't mean to, she just couldn't control herself.

Qin Lin believed her, because Qing He wouldn't lie.

Su Yuran was the only one who didn't express any opinion on the matter.

She went about her daily routine as usual: taking care of the children, Cultivating, reading, cooking, and occasionally chatting with Qing Yue.

One day, Qin Lin saw Su Yuran and Qing Yue sitting together in the living room; Qing Yue was teaching Su Yuran the pronunciation of the common language of the Cultivation World.

Su Yuran was learning very seriously, repeating after her over and over, while Qing Yue corrected her over and over.

"Your pronunciation is fine; it's just that your tongue is too stiff."

Su Yuran thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I've spoken my hometown language too much, and my tongue isn't flexible."

Qing Yue looked at her and said, "Your Spiritual Root is a Saint Grade Ice Spiritual Root; your potential is very high. If you focus on Cultivating, you can go very far."

Su Yuran was silent for a moment: "Why go so far? The Ark has everything; I don't want to leave."

Qin Lin, standing in the hallway, heard this conversation but didn't walk over.

Days passed by one by one.

Every night, Qin Lin would visit the rooms of Qing Yue, Hong Yao, and Qing He. He didn't take turns; he visited all three rooms every night.

He would knock on Qing Yue's door first and stay for a while; then go to Hong Yao's room and stay for a while; and finally go to Qing He's room, where he would stay the longest.

The Ark's hallway wasn't long, but he had to walk back and forth along it several times every night.

Li Ying said he was doing endurance training.

Qin Lin found that his body couldn't quite keep up; it wasn't his physical strength, but his energy that couldn't keep up.

The Ark's Physique Enhancement System had strengthened his body to a level far exceeding that of an ordinary person, but energy was another matter.

Qing Yue, Hong Yao, and Qing He began to take the initiative to come to him.

It wasn't that they had changed; they had started to get used to it, and had even fallen in love with it. After getting a taste of it, all three became increasingly proactive.

After dinner, Qing Yue would go straight to Qin Lin's room, sit on the chair next to his desk, and watch him handle the affairs of The Ark, waiting for him to finish.

Hong Yao would wait for him in the kitchen, holding a bowl of soup, saying, "Drink it while it's hot, I made it."

Qing He would wait for him in the hallway, leaning against the wall, holding that book "Basics of the Cultivation World Common Language"; when she saw him coming, she would close the book and follow him into the room.

Qin Lin felt as if he were being taken care of in shifts by three women.

This feeling was nice, but it also made him somewhat uneasy, because Li Ying had started not speaking to him.

It wasn't out of anger, but that kind of silence of "If you don't come to find me, I won't come to find you."

One day, Qin Lin met Li Ying in the hallway. She glanced at him, didn't say "Brother Qin Lin" as she usually did, but instead nodded and walked away.

Qin Lin stood in the hallway, feeling as if he had done something wrong.
