Qin Churan's body suddenly stiffened.
A strange electric current surged from the spot on her lower back where Chen Lin's palm touched her, instantly spreading through her entire body. Her pretty face, always cold and stubborn, flushed an enchanting red before she could stop it.
Meanwhile, although Li Xiaoyue had not received Chen Lin's personal guidance, she was in tune with him and grasped his instructions more quickly. Completely focused and free of distractions, she worked to keep up with his rhythm, savoring the wondrous sensation of moonlight power flowing through her body.
Time ticked by.
An hour later, Chen Lin called a halt.
"Whew... whew..."
Li Xiaoyue and Qin Churan collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously, gasping like two fish out of water.
They were already drenched in sweat, their tight clothes clinging to their bodies and outlining breathtaking curves. Sweat kept dripping from their cheeks, necks, and hair, leaving dark marks on the bluestone paving.
Yet their exhaustion was only temporary.
An unprecedented sense of ease slowly welled up from deep within their bodies. It was as though every cell had been cleansed and filled with explosive vitality.
"All right, that's it for today's training." Seeing them disheveled yet delighted, Chen Lin's lips curved into a teasing smile. "How do you feel?"
"I feel... like I have more strength than I could ever use!" Qin Churan was the first to climb to her feet. She clenched her fists, feeling the surging power within her, and her eyes shone brighter than ever.
Just then, an odor mingling sweat with an indescribable foul stench wafted from her body and assaulted her nostrils.
"Eek! What's that smell? It stinks!" Qin Churan instinctively raised an arm and sniffed. Her pretty face, still flushed with excitement a moment ago, instantly fell.
