The broken window couldn’t be closed anymore.
The night wind blew in unabashedly, turning the window curtains into its own shape.
The girl was turned to the side, her expression unclear.
Through her black hair, it seemed as if a pool of moonlight was nestled in the curve of her collarbone.
With that delicate waist, she even had a hint of a mermaid line.
If it weren’t for her eyelashes, shimmering with candlelight and trembling gently, one might almost mistake her for a jade statue.
Li Mo once thought that the idea of getting nosebleeds from a rush of bl**d was exaggerated; in this situation, he realized he had wronged her.
Maybe it really was realistic.
“Is it too… dark?” he asked.
“It’s clearly very bright.”
“?”
Noticing the young man’s gaze, Ying Bing averted her eyes, feeling a bit ticklish, unsure if it was her own hair causing it.
Did he seem to prefer more than just feet?
“A full-service package includes staring at me too?” Ying Bing asked quietly.
“Please don’t question my professionalism,” Li Mo replied, covering his nose, shaking his head seriously.
People have aspirations towards beautiful things.
He was simply appreciating the beauty of a masterpiece designed by Nüwa in all its purity. Absolutely.
“You lie down first.”
“Okay.”
If something is going to happen, it’s better to get it over with quickly.
She maintained a calm demeanor, clearly having adjusted her mindset quite well.
Yet she never expected this.
A heart connected with the sword would still likely end up in this situation one day.
Seeing Ying Bing so open, Little Li took a deep breath.
【Ten years of martial arts insight successfully integrated.】
【First year: After continuous practice, you finally mastered all the acupoints of this martial art, and could hit the target with just a finger.】
【Fourth year: You delved deeper into finger techniques and discovered that different acupoints and finger techniques could actually resonate with each other, yielding an effect greater than the sum of its parts.】
【Tenth year…】
【Your ‘Pinching Flower Finger’ has reached initial maturity.】
As a secret technique, Li Mo actually grasped it quite quickly?
Well, that’s a bit shocking.
Glancing at the jade form beside him, Master Li felt a stir in his heart.
【Ten years of martial arts insight successfully integrated…】
【Ten years of martial arts insight successfully integrated…】
….
Thus, ‘Pinching Flower Finger’ was perfected, and the masters of Tui Na in the Imperial Capital now poured tea for Little Li.
With 80 years of martial arts insight still remaining.
Never mind, just storing it for later, isn’t it time to put it to good use now?
“I just learned a rather impressive technique, you won’t keep it from me, will you?”
“No way.”
Ying Bing didn’t even lift her head, replying lightly.
As soon as the words left her mouth.
She felt one of her long, beautiful legs being lifted, a tingling sensation rushing through the spot right below her knee, slowly dissipating.
The sensations intensified while pressing the ‘Di Ji’ point.
The ‘Di Ji’ point is right under the knee, while ‘San Yin Jiao’ is below that, followed by ‘Tai Chong’…
The tingling flowed down to her toes.
Li Mo confidently asked, “Do you feel anything?”
“Average,” Ying Bing closed her beautiful eyes.
“?”
Little Li leaned back slightly.
That isn’t right; how can it be average?
Emmmmm, could it be that after years of being blessed by the essence of Taiyin, her acupoints and meridians were all exceptionally smooth and resilient, rendering her completely numb to ordinary stimuli?
Master Li, who just brought up his perfected secret technique.
Hearing the word ‘average’ instantly triggered something within him.
“What about here?”
“Um… average.”
“And here?”
“No feeling.”
“???”
From her legs to her shoulders, Little Li could not fathom how such a silk-soft figure could be so resistant.
He couldn’t be trying those forbidden techniques…
Li Mo’s gaze fell.
Ying Bing seemed to notice his stare, warily using her arm to shield herself; that move barely made a difference as her form changed in response.
“Flip over.”
A friendly reminder: To make it easier for everyone to choose books, the website’s “Ranking” page has been optimized; give it a try!
Little Ke wiped his nose and said.
Ying Bing glanced at the system prompt.
【Current area being touched: 42%】
After flipping over, she tightly closed her eyes, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
But as soon as she turned her back, she felt a strange sensation creeping in.
“You… dripped something?”
“Fragrant Essence Oil.”
“Um…”
She certainly smelled the fragrance.
But she didn’t know why the first drop felt a bit warm, and then it faded away.
Her skin had a slight warmth…
That electrical sensation seemed to intensify…
“Do you feel anything?”
“Nothing.”
“Not even this?”
“Um….”
Little Ke, deep in thought, realized something was off.
Pressing her side caused her delicate hand to curl slightly.
Pressing her thigh made her toes tense up.
There was a switch involved…
“Really nothing?” Little Ke sounded doubtful.
“None.”
As soon as Ying Bing finished speaking.
【Ding Dong——】
【Detected that the host is completely unresponsive while being touched.】
【The system has kindly increased your sensitivity by 50%.】
“?”
Her open eyes momentarily went blank.
The same sensation now carried a sticky feeling.
What’s happening…
Contact between hand and skin, Master Ke unknowingly pressed on a sensitive spot.
“Wh…”
Ying Bing shrank her neck slightly, yet couldn’t stop the blush spreading across her throat, sending shivers down her spine.
Little Ke: “…..”
Oh, Ice Chunk, you’re always the strong one.
Otherwise, how could she be the Phoenix Sky Empress, right?
Time passed.
【Congratulations, host, you’ve completed the penalty condition for ‘Ying Bing’; rewards are being distributed…】
【Reward One: Qingluan Wings】
【Qingluan Wings: Activated with true energy, allows your body to feel as light as a feather; with consciousness soul projection, you can soar in the skies, reducing interior pressure.】
【Reward Two: Moon Soul Crystal】
【Moon Soul Crystal: A piece of lunar fragment that fell from the sky when the path of Taiyin was perfected in ancient times; it enhances the sacredness of the consciousness soul.】
【Reward Three: Demon Slaying Gourd】
…..
The system’s punishment was finally over.
Yet now, she found herself completely devoid of the motivation to even glance at the rewards, her limbs feeling powerless.
“This is the third punishment.”
“Each one worse than the last…”
Ying Bing changed into her clothes, looking a bit dazed at the moonlight outside the window.
She could no longer be certain of her own competence.
After all, the failures of the past three times were right in front of her.
So… what would happen next?
What would it be… this time?
…..
