"Sorry, I used too much force."
"Ah... I-I'm fine..."
After Zhu Zhuqing spoke, Xiao Chen stopped gripping her hand.
After all, he now knew it was Zhuqing and not an enemy, so there was naturally no reason to keep restraining her.
Once Xiao Chen let go of her hand, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and glanced aside slightly, gently moving her somewhat sore little hand.
Perhaps due to the influence of Starry Night Cat's Eye, after that intimate moment with Xiao Chen, Zhu Zhuqing surprisingly did not immediately put some distance between them.
There was now only about half a step between them!
"Zhuqing, did I hurt you just now?"
Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not let such a good opportunity slip away and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern.
He gently kneaded Zhu Zhuqing's wrist with both hands while releasing his Soul Power to give her a light massage.
Over the past few years, aside from various sword techniques, he had also drawn Mastery of Massage from the lottery.
Thus, a minor issue like Zhuqing's slightly sore hand was naturally easy for him to resolve.
"I'm fine, but don't—ah, mm~"
Zhu Zhuqing had originally wanted to refuse, but the moment she felt Xiao Chen's massage technique, she let out a soft cry.
An inexplicable tingling sensation and comfort, like a warm current amid a harsh winter, instantly filled her cold heart.
Combined with the powerful masculine aura radiating from Xiao Chen, she was overwhelmed after only a brief moment, her entire body going limp once more.
His massage technique was so professional!
"Zhuqing."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing like this, Xiao Chen gently pressed a finger against her red lips before tenderly embracing her.
"Xiao Wu and Rongrong are sleeping. Even if it feels good, don't make too much noise. Don't worry, I'll control the pressure as best I can. I won't leave any bruises on your wrist."
"I... mm~"
Upon hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively wanted to say that Xiao Chen did not need to massage her anymore.
But as the intense warm current continued flowing from her wrist, along with the increasingly powerful masculine aura coming from Xiao Chen, Zhu Zhuqing finally gave in completely and immediately felt it.
Her body went limp, and she lost all strength to resist.
Left with no choice, she could only turn her head away, bite her red lips with pearly teeth, and nod faintly.
After all, aside from their actions being just a little intimate, Xiao Chen's massage technique was genuinely effective.
At the very least, it was several levels better than the techniques of the royal massage therapists she had experienced before.
Forget it.
Xiao Chen was not trash like Dai Mubai. He probably would not try anything improper with her. It was only a massage—nothing would happen.
Besides, she really did feel very comfortable right now.
For a time, Zhu Zhuqing completely lowered her guard around Xiao Chen, allowing him to hold her as he massaged her wrist.
"Ding! Zhu Zhuqing's favorability toward the host has increased. The host's gained physical enhancement has reached 26%..."
Time gradually passed, second by second.
At some point, Xiao Chen's massage finally ended. He carried Zhu Zhuqing back beneath her own blanket and thoughtfully tucked her in.
That was because, under his two and a half hours of professional massage, Zhu Zhuqing had become so comfortable that she had fallen asleep.
This was the massage technique produced by the system—truly professional!
"Not bad."
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's peaceful sleeping face, Xiao Chen chuckled inwardly.
It seemed that next time, he could use massage as an excuse to have a few more intimate interactions with Zhu Zhuqing and further improve his physical qualities.
The future was promising!
The next morning.
The sun had just risen, and the sky was still dimly lit.
"Mm?"
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and felt a familiar pressure.
Yet he was not worried about the sensation at all. Instead, he habitually reached out, patted Xiao Wu's head, and said with a smile.
"You little greedy rabbit, up so early?"
After confirming their relationship, Xiao Wu helped him relieve his pressure every morning.
"Hmph, Brother Xiao Chen is the one who woke up late."
Seeing that Xiao Chen had awakened, Xiao Wu pouted as she spoke.
Xiao Chen chuckled and nodded, then began changing clothes.
He knew Xiao Wu was afraid Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing would see, which was why she had started earlier today.
As for why he had gotten up late today?
Naturally, it was because he had massaged Zhu Zhuqing until too late the previous night. Not long after the sun rose, he had gotten up and frolicked with Xiao Wu for two hours before going back to sleep.
So naturally, he had gotten up later.
There was nothing to do today anyway, so it did not matter. He might as well sleep in.
However.
As though he had suddenly thought of something, Xiao Chen glanced directly toward where Ning Rongrong was sleeping, amusement filling his heart.
Although Xiao Wu had taken human form from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her senses had weakened considerably because she had cultivated anew.
Besides Xiao Wu, who had already awakened, one of the other three girls was awake as well:
Ning Rongrong!
However, he was not worried that Ning Rongrong would become dissatisfied after seeing what he and Xiao Wu were doing right now.
That was because the trust gained through the Love Charm Hairpin would not decrease. Moreover, as their relationship grew increasingly intimate, their favorability would rise rapidly.
"Ding! Ning Rongrong's favorability toward the host has increased. The host's physical attribute enhancement has reached 30%..."
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
As expected of the little witch—she simply could not be won over through ordinary means.
He was clearly being intimate with Xiao Wu right now, yet Ning Rongrong, who was secretly watching, was actually feeling somewhat excited instead.
"Mm."
Next door to Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong cautiously poked her head out from beneath her blanket. Her eyes remained fixed on the shifting shadow on the cloth curtain without blinking.
As the Young Lady of Noble Family from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, she had naturally developed the good habit of going to bed early and waking early in order to care for her skin.
It was precisely because of this that she had witnessed the intimate things Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu were doing today.
Good heavens.
Was Xiao Chen a bull or something?
After the sun came up, the two of them had frolicked for two whole hours. That was far too outrageous!
Under the influence of the Love Charm Hairpin, Ning Rongrong did not feel angry about Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu being together. Instead, she considered it from another angle.
"Mm~"
After some time, Ning Rongrong's feet, as exquisite as white jade artwork, clasped the blanket beneath the covers, while her head burrowed straight back into them, countless images filling her mind.
For one thing, Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu had gotten up and were already heading toward the door. They would soon reach her side, so she had to pretend to be asleep.
For another, she wanted to properly recall what Xiao Wu and Xiao Chen had done during those two hours.
After replaying it in her mind for a while, Ning Rongrong finally came to a conclusion.
"Xiao Chen... he really is too fierce."
