Once Mu Qingxue and Assistant Yu left, Su Xiaoran became excited.
Finally, it was just her and Lin Haoren. Besides Oreo, there was no more third-party interference.
"Brother Lin, I’ll come back after changing," Su Xiaoran informed him before asking, "Have you decided what to make for supper?"
"How about beef noodles?" Lin Haoren suggested.
"Sounds good!" Su Xiaoran quickly approved.
Anything Lin Haoren cooked should be delicious, and she hadn’t tried his noodles yet. Thus, she was looking forward to his beef noodles.
Once Su Xiaoran left the apartment, Lin Haoren tidied up a bit.

After he finished cleaning up, Lin Haoren felt a sense of satisfaction as he observed the state of his apartment. He was somewhat surprised at how quickly he was adapting to this new lifestyle and making it a habit.
’It’s a bit early to cook. Let’s check out today’s gains,’ Lin Haoren decided to open up his system space.

Beginner-Level Yin-Yang Harmony Art
=====
The corner of Lin Haoren’s mouth twitched upon seeing the Beginner-Level Yin-Yang Harmony Art and Yang Essence Pill x5.
Although there was some resistance in his heart, he still inspected the goods.
Beginner-Level Yin-Yang Harmony Art was just as he had expected; it was a dual cultivation technique—the kind used for intimate physical interaction.
Although Beginner-Level Yin-Yang Harmony Art wasn’t something magical like immortal cultivation, it did have the effect of perfecting the physical body.
Moreover, it wasn’t the kind of demonic technique that robs yin to promote yang. It was an equal exchange of yin and yang, mutually benefiting both parties.
It seemed to contain the core principles of Taijiquan.
’As expected of an item from the system. This Yin-Yang Harmony Art isn’t inferior to Taijiquan. Moreover, it benefits one more person...’ Lin Haoren realized this after learning the Yin-Yang Harmony Art.
However, it was somewhat difficult to practice.
After all, he needed a partner to practice with, and the closest person he had hadn’t reached such an intimate stage.
As for the Yang Essence Pills, they weren’t as vulgar as he had imagined.
Although Yang Essence Pills indeed had the effect of promoting kidney health and strength, their main purpose was to accelerate physical transformation.
It was a type of cultivation pill.
Consuming it before working out could hasten his muscle development and recovery.
Of course, using Yang Essence Pills for rapid muscle improvements was considered a waste.
There was a better option.
Using Yang Essence Pills and Yin-Yang Harmony Art together could accelerate the formation of a Pure Yang Body, a type of Leakless Body.
Once he acquired the Pure Yang Body, he could start refining the formless Primordial Energy into Star Power and formally begin his evolution journey.
Taijiquan could also acquire the Pure Yang Body.
However, it required countless years of hard practice without potent medicine. He didn’t even know what potent medicine was required.
’It seems Taijiquan can only be practiced for self-defense. I have to rely on Yin-Yang Harmony Art and Yang Essence Pills to acquire the Pure Yang Body," Lin Haoren frowned in thought.
The thought of practicing the Yin-Yang Harmony Art with Su Xiaoran crossed his mind, and he couldn’t help but feel disgusted with himself.
How could he treat her like a tool?
Lin Haoren realized he genuinely had a soft spot for Su Xiaoran; he didn’t like her for a superficial reason such as her good looks.
That was only a small part of the reason.
The bigger part was that she represented his younger self, who once had the innocence of a pure soul and had not been tainted by the cruelty of reality over the years.
Protecting her innocence was equivalent to protecting his heart.
As such, even if he were to end up practicing the Yin-Yang Harmony Art with Su Xiaoran, it couldn’t be for a selfish reason; it had to be out of love.
He couldn’t force it.
Sigh...
Lin Haoren pinched the bridge of his nose and shelved aside the messy thoughts.
After adjusting his state of mind, he decided to work on his new novel.
His fingers danced across the keys, and 5,000 words were churned out in half an hour before he was interrupted by Su Xiaoran’s return.
"Brother Lin, I’m back. Have you started cooking yet?" Su Xiaoran’s voice sounded from the door.
Lin Haoren glanced over from the sofa and was stunned.
At the same time, Su Xiaoran saw how his eyes were glued to her body, and she couldn’t help but feel happy and proud in her heart.
This was the effect she wanted.
Lin Haoren didn’t expect Su Xiaoran to return in a pale pink nightgown.
However, he had to admit that it perfectly showcased her feminine charm. He would be a fool if he didn’t realize he was being seduced.
Lin Haoren gulped, his mouth feeling dry. He felt like he might get a nosebleed if he kept staring so intently.
Su Xiaoran was naturally beautiful, but a Su Xiaoran in a pale pink nightgown was rather sexy.
He couldn’t help but keep staring.
"Ahem!" Lin Haoren coughed, reluctantly pulling his gaze away. He got up and asked, "Are you feeling hungry already? I’ll start cooking now."
"I’m not hungry yet, Brother Lin. But I do feel like eating," Su Xiaoran said honestly.
Lin Haoren laughed. She was such a glutton.
"Aren’t you afraid of gaining more weight and getting scolded by Classmate Mu?" He teased her.
"Hmph!" Su Xiaoran placed her hands on her hips and pouted. "It’s fine. I’ll just work hard to sweat it all off."
"Alright," Lin Haoren smiled gently.
After he entered the kitchen, he quickly got to work, starting with mixing the dough.

Besides the basic ingredients, Lin Haoren also added a bit of baking soda to make the noodles springy and yellowish.
Su Xiaoran intended to watch the entire noodle-making process, but the glowing laptop screen caught her attention.
