Chapter 66: Can You Just Not Do It?
Staring at Yun Zhonghe’s incredibly righteous and utterly pure-of-heart eyes, the two young women fell into silence.
If it wasn’t Yun Zhonghe saying such things, just about anyone else, Lin Zhongyu would have definitely suspected that they had ulterior motives.
For example, after mastering Mu Jixue’s meridian route, pinning down her acupoints, playing freeze frame with time or tampering with her spiritual energy flow, playing some kind of sensory block…
Basically, all the twisted ways one might find in a book came to mind.
However, because it was Yun Zhonghe who spoke, and given that Mu Jixue herself said she would do anything, Lin Zhongyu felt that Yun Zhonghe must be considering the danger of the mission, and thus reluctantly made this slightly over-the-top demand.
Yun Zhonghe’s reasons and stance were completely justified! There was no fault to be found.
On the contrary, if they refused, even though it would also make sense, it would appear somewhat petty.
It’s just a little manipulation of acupoints, they’re good friends anyway, what’s wrong with a little bit? I’m doing it for your safety.
Lin Zhongyu’s expression turned conflicted right away, like a little kitten trying to decide whether to hide or pounce.
Yun Zhonghe should be thankful to them for allowing him to do so.
Lin Zhongyu also wanted to be “manipulated” as well; she suddenly felt that having the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes was quite troublesome.
Even though Yun Brother didn’t know her inside and out, he wanted to know Snow here first…
If Yun Zhonghe knew Lin Zhongyu’s thoughts, he would probably run away.
Ugh, okay, it’s fine to do some intimate actions between good friends, but how could one get intimate with the main girl? If he wasn’t careful, his head would end up on the chopping block.
But upon calming down, Lin Zhongyu thought that Yun Brother did indeed have a point. If Yun Brother and Snow got to know each other, the three of them could form a perfect cycle, ensuring the safety of any member during a fight.
“I know this is a lot to ask, so if you can’t do it, it’s fine—no pressure. But if you really can’t, then let’s just forget about it…”
Yun Zhonghe thought maybe he should just let it go; it looked like it might be hard to convince Huang Aotian immediately.
But unexpectedly, Mu Jixue tightened her fists, her face flushed with full bravery, she agreed!
“No big deal, it’s just to show you my meridian route.”
“Snow…” Lin Zhongyu worriedly stepped forward.
Mu Jixue gritted her teeth. “I’m fine, Xiao Yu, I’ll complete my apology.”
Lin Zhongyu’s words were swallowed back down.
Actually… this could probably be ignored.
But since everyone agreed, she could only look back and forth between Mu Jixue and Yun Zhonghe with a troubled heart.
Sigh…
If only she hadn’t goaded Snow into apologizing.
Lin Zhongyu felt regretful.
“Alright, let’s start. Xiao Yu, you too.”
The sudden words from Mu Jixue caused Lin Zhongyu’s heart to twitch.
“Huh… me together with both of you?!”
Wait, I wasn’t mentally prepared for this, letting Yun Brother go through my acupoints and all…
Mu Jixue explained, “Xiao Yu, help me with protection. Keep an eye on him so he doesn’t send spiritual energy into strange places.”
Suddenly it clicked. She was supposed to protect them.
Wait, isn’t this even more uncomfortable? Watching you two exchange spiritual energy, like it wasn’t already awkward enough…
“Ms. Lin, I also need your help for protection. Your eyes can see where the spiritual energy flows, so please point out if I’m doing it wrong.”
Even Yun Zhonghe earnestly asked her.
Lin Zhongyu felt even more uncomfortable.
Why don’t you guys just not do it?
She really wanted to stop them.
But she couldn’t think of a suitable reason.
“I… understand. I’ll protect you.”
Reluctantly, Lin Zhongyu replied.
The two girls entered the room, Yun Zhonghe closed the door swiftly.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Jixue realized she was going to have to show everything to Yun Zhonghe.
What kind of punishment quest is this?
She sat on the bed, crossing her legs and facing him.
“Should I go first?”
Yun Zhonghe asked.
“What do you mean?”
“If I only understand your meridian route, it wouldn’t be fair. I’ll show you mine too.”
After all, understanding someone’s meridian route means grasping their life line. Mutual disclosure is the fairest thing.
But Mu Jixue didn’t want to interact with Yun Zhonghe any more than she had to.
“Not necessary! Even if you want to use this to take advantage of me, I’m confident I can beat you.”
This is Huang Aotian’s confidence!
Even if she’s figured out, she still retains faith in turning the tables and defeating Yun Zhonghe.
Yun Zhonghe believed her fully, since this is Aotian we’re talking about.
“Then I won’t be polite. Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle.”
Their palms met, much like a transmission of power pose, then both closed their eyes focusing entirely on the spiritual energy.
Guiding spiritual energy is crucial; entering abruptly might break an acupoint.
Mu Jixue needed to first channel her own spiritual energy to relax the acupoints where they connected, making them easier to handle. Meanwhile, Yun Zhonghe needed to prepare by converting his spiritual energy to its purest form.
“Is it ready to go?”
“Don’t use such weird lines! Ugh… I’m ready, come on in.”
After about three minutes, ready and under Lin Zhongyu’s observation, Yun Zhonghe began to guide the spiritual energy into Mu Jixue’s acupoint.
As they started exchanging energy, Lin Zhongyu felt uneasy.
“Ms. Lin, am I in the right spot?”
Yun Zhonghe slowly tested the waters, asking Lin Zhongyu.
Lin Zhongyu pursed her lips and replied, “No problem, you can go deeper.”
She saw a thin strand of spiritual energy guided from Yun Zhonghe’s lower abdomen, precisely entering Mu Jixue’s acupoint, and sinking deep.
Yun Zhonghe’s control of spiritual energy was precise; Mu Jixue felt no pain at all and even let out a comfortable hum.
Inside, Mu Jixue couldn’t help but murmur, d*mn, this guy’s skills are surprisingly good.
Lin Zhongyu almost showed visible envy.
Yun Zhonghe’s spiritual energy successfully penetrated the acupoint and flowed into Mu Jixue’s tight meridians.
Though the channel was narrow, it was surprisingly elastic; Yun Zhonghe felt even if he injected ten times the amount of spiritual energy in one go, her meridians could resist and absorb every bit.
No wonder Huang Aotian could always win despite being weaker; she has incredible resilience which can easily burst into ten, even hundred times the intensity.
Yun Zhonghe got lost in admiration for the advanced meridians of Mu Jixue, while Mu Jixue became rather uneasy.
“You’re not doing anything? How long do you want me to keep this spiritual energy in?”
“Oh.”
Almost forgot the purpose…
