Around seven or eight in the evening, the convoy finally returned to Taiping City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at the Zhao Family estate, Su Liyan was still sleeping soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan simply carried his wife out of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhao Family estate was a grand residence with three successive courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front courtyard was where the Nursing Home staff, Maids, and old matrons lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle courtyard was where Zhao Qiao’Er lived by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, now that Lu Yuan and Su Liyan had arrived, they would be staying in the middle courtyard with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rear courtyard contained rockeries, a pond, and was where ledgers, account books, and other valuables were stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Zhao Qiao’Er into the middle courtyard, they found that everything had already been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er lived in the south-facing main house of the middle courtyard, while Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were given the East Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one shouldn’t underestimate this East Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was completely different from the side rooms at Lu Yuan’s or his mother-in-law’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the side room at Lu Yuan’s house only had an earthen kang bed with a table set beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, it was ten square meters at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this East Wing in the Zhao residence, at a single glance, looked to be at least a hundred square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wing itself was divided into a main central room and two smaller rooms to the north and south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell the Maids whatever you want for dinner. Your aunt isn’t going to eat tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er said to Lu Yuan, her eyes heavy with sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been awake for a whole day and night, and once she finally got some rest, she didn’t want to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had slept the whole way, and it had been a surprisingly steady and comfortable sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she hadn’t slept nearly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked at Aunt Zhao and nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, Aunt Zhao. You should go back to your room and rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Lu Yuan, Aunt Zhao couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to pinch his cheek with great affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the still-sleeping Su Liyan, then allowed a Maid to support her as she swayed toward her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan watched Aunt Zhao’s graceful figure from behind, his gaze drifting downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tsk tsk, the way her big rear sways back and forth... It’s more than a man can take...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping out of his reverie, Lu Yuan quickly carried his wife into the East Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s cold out here. I can’t let my wife catch a chill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was getting colder and colder now; it was already the beginning of winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost had started to form in the mornings and evenings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured it wouldn’t be long before the snow began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after going inside, the feeling was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>still damn cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though someone had already lit a charcoal brazier in the room, the room was just too large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t very effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the room, Lu Yuan looked at the two Maids and said bluntly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two can go back to your rooms and sleep. I don’t need you to wait on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan didn’t plan on eating anything that night anyway; he’d had plenty to eat and drink at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Maids acknowledged his order and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked around, found the bed, and lifted the covers to lay his wife down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bed warmer had been placed under the covers earlier, so it was still somewhat warm inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laying his wife down, Lu Yuan helped her take off her outer clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left her in her undergarments, then quickly covered her with the quilt, afraid she’d get cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You know,’ he thought, ’in the past, after our nightly escapades, I would just pass out and sleep.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Su Liyan was always the first one up in the morning, too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is really the first time I’ve actually watched my wife sleep.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And you know what? She’s pretty darn cute.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tucking his wife in, Lu Yuan looked around the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Aunt Zhao really treats me well,’ he mused. ’Never mind the bedding, but all the furnishings and decorations in the room are brand new.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You can tell she put a lot of thought into decorating it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It looks truly magnificent.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But... it’s all for show and no go...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Don’t be fooled by how splendid the houses in the city look.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When it comes to winter comfort, the countryside still has it beat.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s so warm in the countryside this time of year. You just take off your shoes and sit on the kang.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And your butt is toasty warm in no time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But here, it’s just so damn cold.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for Lu Yuan, who had been a Northern-er before he transmigrated and was used to having central heating at home in the winter. This was simply unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lu Yuan had the Holy Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Holy Body didn’t mean Lu Yuan was numb to cold and heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just meant that in temperatures of negative ten-something degrees, Lu Yuan could run around naked and act like a fool without any consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even sleep in a snowdrift and not freeze to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t mean Lu Yuan couldn’t feel the chill or the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if you couldn’t feel cold or heat, what would be the point of living?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the most basic level, if he couldn’t feel hot or cold, the pleasure of his nightly romps with his wife would be reduced by at least half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan wasn’t very sleepy, and as he was wandering around the room, there came two light knocks on the door, followed by the old steward’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, is this a convenient time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hm?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then quickly lowered the curtain to the sleeping area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he go to the door and open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old steward stood outside, bowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, my greetings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I do for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old steward stepped aside, and two members of the nursing home staff carried in a large furnace Lu Yuan had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old steward said respectfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the mistress’s orders. We’ve brought you a Spirit Stone Furnace to warm the room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lu Yuan was still looking rather stunned, the old steward finished the delivery and led the two from the Nursing Home away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing the door, Lu Yuan moved closer to the Spirit Stone Furnace to examine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’a type of machine!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yes, definitely a machine!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s a machine for catalyzing Spirit Stones.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he flipped a switch, the machine let out a low hum, about as loud as an electric fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the switch was flipped, the Spirit Stones inside the Spirit Stone Furnace, which had been giving off a faint blue glow, began to slowly turn red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan could feel a wave of warmth emanating from the Spirit Stone Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hey, this thing really works!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It heats up fast!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the room had been only eleven or twelve degrees before, then in just a moment it had reached sixteen or seventeen degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... that was as high as it went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t getting any warmer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Northern-er, was Lu Yuan satisfied with this temperature?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not satisfied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not satisfied at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Northern-er, what kind of indoor temperature was considered satisfactory in the winter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight degrees. It had to be warm enough that you could walk around shirtless indoors while it was snowing heavily outside, and then you’d top it off by eating a popsicle to cool down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how it had to be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this Spirit Stone Furnace wasn’t up to snuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides... using this thing for heat... just how much money would that cost?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan didn’t know much about the grades of Spirit Stones, but each one in the furnace was at least the size of a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to be at least Level One Spirit Stones, and probably Upper Grade ones at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might even be Level Two Spirit Stones, for all he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, one furnace full of them, even if they were just Level One Spirit Stones, would cost fifty or sixty taels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was no telling how long they would last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Yuan stood by the furnace pondering this, he couldn’t help but blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hm?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lu Yuan hastily dragged the Spirit Stone Furnace into the sleeping area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off his own clothes, got into bed, and slid under the covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan wrapped one arm around his wife and held the book *Craftsmanship* in his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly found the Chapter on the Underground Heating System in *Craftsmanship*.\u003C\u002Fp>",1568,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.988Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","159bb7ccbd94d24be07e84f8ce2500d4bd1bbe16b798bed28b58aeb17ef05ff6","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-55","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-53",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
