Chapter 716: Chapter 318: Accumulating in Changchun_2
In the clear, smooth mirror, a stunningly beautiful face appeared before her eyes.
Seeing the familiar face with an even younger appearance, Lan Cai’er’s expression showed even greater delight.
As Lu Yuan said indeed, she had become younger in appearance.
“The Queen can try to communicate with the Seed of Life by her thoughts, and adjust her appearance to be even younger,” said Lu Yuan, standing up and walking to Lan Cai’er’s side to embrace her.
With brightened eyes, Lan Cai’er followed Lu Yuan’s words. She circulated her energy and connected her thoughts with the Seed of Life on her forehead, adjusting her spirit within.
The power of life surged through her body, changing her muscles and skin instantly as it passed.
Her originally fair and tender skin became even more youthful.
In just a few moments, when the power of life returned to the Seed of Life, Lan Cai’er’s appearance in the mirror looked even younger than before.
From the outside, she now looked like an eighteen-year-old girl, full of youthful energy.
The couple standing together in front of the mirror looked like a perfect match, a pair of heroes and beauties.
Seeing this, Lan Cai’er’s eyes were full of joy and happiness.
At this moment, she and her husband no longer had any glaring difference in their appearances.
Both of them looked like they were in their prime, he looking sixteen and she eighteen, making them an incredibly fitting and beautiful couple.
They no longer appeared as they had before, with a discernible age gap of more than ten years to the discerning eye.
The last knot in her heart dissolved.
“My King, I want it,” Lan Cai’er said brightly, leaning towards the man she loved. She took his hand, placed it on her heart, leaned closer, and spoke with endless love.
As a beautiful woman threw herself into his arms and whispered her love, what could Lu Yuan say to that?
He leaned in, filled with excitement and a hint of anticipation.
Before long, the great hall was filled with the sounds of their lovemaking, like an endless symphony of sweet murmurs and tender caresses…
…
After verifying the effectiveness of Changchun Art, in the following days, Lu Yuan and Lan Cai’er immersed themselves in the practice of this cultivation technique together.
Changchun Art could adjust a person’s appearance, making them look younger, more mature, or much older.
For the couple, it allowed them to experience the pleasures of various age stages.
The young Lan Cai’er, the mature Lan Cai’er, the elegant Lan Cai’er, the charming Lan Cai’er, the half-aged Lan Cai’er…
Each age, each appearance was a novel experience for Lu Yuan like never before.
It was endless fun to change appearances at will when they were in the mood.
Not only Lan Cai’er, but also Lu Yuan, who had practiced Changchun Art, was finally able to change his appearance and no longer needed to keep his sixteen-year-old face.
If he wished, he could age himself instantly to look more mature and dignified, no longer as childlike as he once appeared.
As the king of a country and ruler of his people,
in truth, Lu Yuan’s previous sixteen-year-old appearance had not been without its drawbacks regarding his royal authority.
Although many people knew that the King of Chu, Lu Yuan, was actually over forty years old and possessed great martial arts skills, having achieved military greatness and earning the title of Military God, his young face still inspired doubts about his reliability.
As the saying goes, ‘a smooth chin is an unreliable foundation.’
Regardless of the veracity of this old adage, popular sayings like this must carry some truth to them.
In the past, Lu Yuan had encountered a lot of minor troubles due to his childlike appearance.
Although these troubles were not overly troublesome, avoiding them was still a good thing.
Thus, after practicing Changchun Art, he voluntarily fixed his appearance at thirty years old.,
This age was neither too young nor too old, representing the peak of a man’s life and the point when others would find him mature enough.
The saying ‘a man should be independent at thirty’ was a fitting description for this age.
Of course, while Lu Yuan chose to appear thirty for the sake of his kingdom’s affairs,
Lan Cai’er, naturally, would always look eighteen.
Women, of course, prefer looking younger.
Not just her.
After creating Changchun Art, Lu Yuan also bestowed it upon the favored concubines in his harem, allowing them to practice it themselves.
This cultivation art was perfect for them, as it not only promoted their health but also preserved their youthful appearance.
After all, even as an emperor, one would not want to see his concubines age and turn into old hags.
Such appearances would be not only unsightly, but also a cause for discomfort, reminding the emperor of the days when he used to favor those now-aged women.
Now things were different.
Each woman was given the Changchun Art technique to practice. As long as they could condense the Seed of Life and maintain a youthful appearance, Lu Yuan’s expectations for them would be met.
Although it would take at least twenty years of hard practice for those harem concubines, especially those without a martial arts background or foundation, to achieve this step, it was still worth it in the long run.
