Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 891 - Massage

"Hello?"

"Senior Li? It's me, Wang Bingbing."

"Oh, it's been—"

"This is an emergency, Senior Li! Li Jinxi, she's currently experiencing a backlash from using her weird technique that you warned us about!"

"What?! Why did that foolish child use that technique?!"

"It's a long story, but right now, I need you to tell me what we can do to calm her down!"

"Right. Her muscles right now should be pulsating, almost like there are worms wiggling inside her body. Can you see it?" Senior Li asked.

"Yes, I see it." Wang Bingbing said.

"This is the result of Li Jinxi enhancing her muscles far past their limits. In order to calm her down, you must relax her muscles. Massage her body and then let her body simmer in hot water until she's fully recovered. If you have any medical leaves around, soak them in the hot water for a better effect."

"Okay. Thank you, Senior Li. I will call you back once things calm down." Wang Bingbing said before closing the connection.

"Did you hear all of that?" She turned to look at Yuan.

"Yes, I heard him loud and clear. I will fill the bath with hot water. In the meantime, can you massage her body?" He asked her.

"I-I don't know how to do massages, but I can try… You just squeeze their muscles with strength, right?" Wang Bingbing swallowed nervously before she started massaging Li Jinxi's arms that felt incredibly weird.

"Yuan, I don't think this is helping! Her muscles feel incredibly stiff, like I am massaging rocks instead of muscles." Wang Bingbing called for help.

Yuan said, "Alright, switch with me. I will see what I can do."

After switching places with Wang Bingbing, Yuan pondered as he inspected Li Jinxi's condition.

'Her muscles feel like stones, huh? Let's try this…'

Yuan began massaging Li Jinxi's body starting with her arms.

"How do you feel?" Yuan asked her a few moments later.

"B-Better…" She uttered.

"Good, then this is working."Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

A few moments later, Wang Bingbing asked him from the bathroom, "Yuan, any results?"

"Yes, it's working. She's getting better."

"Really? I'll be with you in a minute!"

Once she was finished with filling the bathtub, Wang Bingbing returned to the bedroom to check on them.

"How are you doing this? I hope you're not using brute force…" She swallowed nervously when she saw how causally Yuan made it seem like massaging Li Jinxi.

"Of course not. I am not really using my fingers to massage her muscles. I am using my spiritual energy to guide her muscles instead— to loosen it."

"Where did you learn how to do such a thing?" Wang Bingbing asked him with great curiosity.

"Cultivation Online," he said with a smile.

Sometime later, once Yuan finished massaging Li Jinxi's arm, he moved to other parts of her body until all of her limbs were relaxed.

"Alright, I think she's ready for the bath." Yuan said.

"Wait…" Li Jinxi suddenly grabbed his hand.

And she continued, "Massage… here… as well…"

Using her free hand, Li Jinxi ripped her shirt right off her body, revealing her bare chest to them.

"Uhhh…" Yuan raised his eyebrows and turned to face Wang Bingbing.

"D-Don't worry, this is to relieve her pain. I will also be here, so there won't be any misunderstandings."

"Alright."

Yuan said nothing else and started massaging Li Jinxi's body.

About ten minutes later, Wang Bingbing carried Li Jinxi into the bathroom to soak in hot water.

"I will wait outside." Yuan said as they entered the bathroom.

"Thank you…" Li Jinxi mumbled in a low voice.

"Maybe you'll think twice before using that weird technique again." Wang Bingbing smiled.

"I don't understand… I was able to use it without any problems in Cultivation Online. I thought it would be fine if I started using it out here now, but…"

"Don't worry too much about it. I'm sure you'll eventually be able to use that technique without any backlash." Wang Bingbing said.

After spending about two hours soaking in the bathtub, Li Jinxi recovered from her backlash.

"How are you feeling?" Yuan asked.

"I am feeling fine. Thank you for the massage, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I won't use that technique again."

"Actually… I want you to continue using that technique. I want you to practice your control with that technique." Yuan said, dumbfounding them.

"Y-You want her to continue using that technique? But that would…" Wang Bingbing stared at him with wide eyes.

"No, she will only experience a backlash if she goes overboard with the technique. As long as she maintains control over it, she will be fine."

"Why? Why do you want me to…?" Li Jinxi asked with a puzzled face.

"You don't want to? Oh, I am not forcing you. If you don't want to master that technique, which will, without doubt, make you much stronger—"

"I will do it!" Li Jinxi quickly said.

"I want to become stronger. I want to be able to use that technique without feeling pain afterward. Can you help me?"

Yuan nodded, "I will help you to the best of my abilities, but it's not going to be easy. You might even experience more backlashes during your training. Are you prepared for that?"

"Yes, I am prepared. If I experience any backlashes, you'll be there to massage me, right?"

"Of course." He nodded.

"..."

Wang Bingbing witnessed their casual conversation with her mouth wide open.

'How can they say such shameless things to each other without being embarrassed about it?' She wondered inwardly.

"Get some rest."

Yuan and Wang Bingbing left Li Jinxi alone shortly after.

"I'm going to call Senior Li to let him know that everything is fine now." Wang Bingbing said.

"Alright. You should get some rest too. Your group will be fighting the demon first thing tomorrow morning, after all." Yuan said with a smile.

"I completely forgot about that…"

"I will see you later at dinner."

"Of course." Wang Bingbing nodded.
