Jiyuan: Is the System Telling Me to Become a Massage Therapist? / Tingyun: Yes, We Stayed Together Last Night!
She spoke softly, tears already welling in her big eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately rolled over, scooped her up in a princess carry, and carefully avoided her twitching right foot as he held her.
The tail flew out from behind Huohuo and watched Ji Yuan warily from the side.
Ji Yuan glared at the tail as well.
He did not want to be mistaken for a lolicon either. He was working this hard just to earn some achievements and keep himself alive, wasn't he?
He had originally intended to catch her, but a slight miscalculation had sent them tumbling to the floor.
When Huohuo, the Chief Adjudicator of the Ten-Lords Commission of the Xianzhou, was in danger, your selfless actions protected this important figure who safeguards the Xianzhou from harm. You are hereby rewarded with [Suiyang Identification Codex].
In an instant, Ji Yuan felt a massive amount of memories flood into his mind.
They were all records about the Suiyang race, detailing everything from each Suiyang's name, abilities, and personality to their most critical weaknesses.
There was simply too much, so Ji Yuan did not immediately sort through the memories after receiving them. He merely skimmed through them.
The codex he now possessed even contained records on Firebringer, the sovereign of the Suiyang race.
Of course, it only meant he knew about it.
If Ji Yuan really dared to seek out Firebringer and say he wanted to control it, he would probably be possessed before he even got close.
The gap in strength was simply far too great.
"But if Firebringer is unprepared, and I have time to make preparations, then add the art of enslavement... it's not impossible that I could trick it."
Ji Yuan thought to himself.
But after thinking it over, he felt that if he really did that, the first one to come after him would not be Firebringer, but the general of the Zhuming Celestial Ark.
"If I get the chance in the future, I could use this method to ambush some powerful Suiyang."
Ji Yuan thought to himself.
The problem was that he did not know where to find such powerful Suiyang, nor whether they would let him spend so much time preparing.
In any case, rescuing Huohuo this time had brought enormous gains. If he were not afraid of being mistaken for a lolicon, Ji Yuan would have loved to plant a hard kiss on her cheek right then.
At that moment, Tingyun and Sushang walked in as well.
Seeing Huohuo whimpering continuously in pain in Ji Yuan's arms, Sushang immediately rushed over.
She asked anxiously, "What happened to you? Are you hurt or sick? Do you want me to take you to a doctor right now?"
Ji Yuan: Is the System Trying to Make Me a Massage Therapist?
You could question Sushang's education, but you could never question her enthusiasm.
In fact, Sushang had been so popular on the Yaoging Star-skiff not only because her exceptionally "outstanding" grades gave everyone someone to rank above, but also because everyone liked her willingness to help others.
Jiuwu Ridge used Ba Ling wine to order wine.
A few years ago, the Interastral Peace Corporation on the Yaoging Star-skiff had even approached Sushang to play the innocent and lively junior martial sister in one of their television dramas. The producer had told Ji Yuan that Sushang had the perfect look for such a role.
Of course, she later failed to become an actress because she could not understand the script.
Seeing Huohuo's pained expression, she leaned closer and asked.
"M-My foot cramped."
Huohuo said softly.
"So that's what it is." Sushang nodded, then looked at Ji Yuan.
"Big bro, this is up to you. Whenever I hurt myself playing outside as a child, he was always the one who massaged me back to normal."
The latter half was directed at Huohuo.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're helping a lolicon commit crimes here!"
After hearing Sushang say that, the tail immediately protested loudly.
"A Fox Folk tail can talk?"
Sushang's clear yet foolish eyes were full of curiosity.
She turned to Tingyun and asked, "Sister Tingyun, do the Fox Folk on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel do that too?"
"Normally, they don't." Tingyun was somewhat curious as well.
Ji Yuan explained to Sushang, "That isn't Huohuo's tail. It's a Suiyang residing within her. Huohuo came to find me because she wants to learn how to enslave Suiyang."
"Suiyang... I think Mother mentioned them before. They're terrifying creatures. Big bro, when did you learn how to enslave Suiyang?"
"Learn? I learned it from books. If you read more books, you'd know these things too."
Ji Yuan glanced at his younger sister and spoke flatly.
The moment Sushang heard that, her twin ponytails began shaking in fear.
"Forget it, forget it. I'd rather practice my swordsmanship properly. Things involving brains should be left to you and Sister Tingyun."
That scratched Tingyun right where she itched. She immediately nodded and promised Sushang, "Mm, I definitely won't let anyone bully you."
"Okay!"
Sushang nodded happily.
Then, seeing that Huohuo still looked pained, Sushang hurriedly urged Ji Yuan.
"Big bro, stop waiting around. Hurry up and treat her."
"Mm." Ji Yuan nodded and asked, "Is that alright? Or should I take you to the Alchemy Commission for treatment?"
"N-No, that would be too troublesome." Huohuo said softly. Then she glanced at Ji Yuan and said shyly, "I-I'll let Teacher massage it for me."
"Alright."
Ji Yuan carried Huohuo into the living room. After laying her on the sofa, he removed her bubble socks.
Huohuo's little feet were petite and adorable, every detail giving off the innocence unique to the transition from a little girl to a young maiden. Her pink toes were like five tiny pearls arranged neatly together, the skin on the top of her feet was smooth as silk, and her heels were delicate and small. In Ji Yuan's hands, they looked even more exquisite.
Seeing Ji Yuan examining her little feet, Huohuo blushed so hard that even her feet turned pink.
However, because of the cramp, she did not dare move her right foot too forcefully.
Ji Yuan hurriedly withdrew his gaze and silently repeated to himself several times that he was not a lolicon.
Then he reached out and gave it a firm rub.
"Uwah!"
Huohuo let out a high-pitched cry of pain, her little face twisting slightly.
It hurts so much, Teacher!
Ji Yuan set her foot down.
A trace of its feel remained in his hand.
So soft. Like kneading a cake.
"Alright, Huohuo. You can get down and walk around now," Ji Yuan said to Huohuo.
Huohuo had only just recovered from the pain. Hearing Ji Yuan's words, she instinctively placed her foot on the floor.
"Mm?" Huohuo looked confused.
It really did not hurt anymore?
She stood up and moved around a little.
"I'm better?" Huohuo asked Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan nodded. "Mm, you're fine now, but don't move around too much. Tonight, sleep with Changchang—my younger sister—for the night. Don't wander around."
"Mm-hmm."
Huohuo nodded shyly.
At that moment, Ji Yuan heard an exaggerated cry of pain from beside him. Turning his head, he saw Tingyun clutching her ankle with a pained expression.
"Ji Yuan, I think I twisted my ankle too. How about you massage it for me as well?"
Ji Yuan covered his forehead.
That's way too fake, isn't it?
Even Sushang could see through it from the side.
Ji Yuan glanced over uneasily and found that Sushang wore the same expression he did. Only then was he relieved.
At least she was merely not very smart. There was still hope.
But although he knew Tingyun was faking it, she still stayed at Ji Yuan's house.
Tingyun had an extremely valid reason for it.
She had just moved in today, and many places still needed organizing. Staying here would let her help Sushang tidy up.
Sushang and Tingyun went to organize the rooms. After resting for a while, Huohuo went over to help too.
Ji Yuan sat on the sofa and rested.
At the same time, he began to receive the fruits of the battle in his mind.
Huohuo was a treasure trove of a girl. There truly was plenty to uncover from her.
However, everything she dropped was a skill, so it was best not to repeat things.
And although Ji Yuan was desperate to survive, he still had basic morals. He would never deliberately bully Huohuo.
He was still planning to nurture Huohuo into one of the Ten Kings of the Ten-Lords Commission, then reap a huge harvest.
The Chief Adjudicator of the Ten-Lords Commission has suffered physical injury, but after your skillful treatment, she miraculously recovered completely. You are hereby rewarded with [Advanced Fox Folk Massage Techniques].
Ji Yuan received the memories, and his expression immediately turned speechless.
Is this reward trying to make me a massage therapist?
These advanced massage techniques were designed specifically for the Fox Folk. They were clearly meant for him to use when massaging Huohuo.
For full-body massages, he now knew exactly which areas were comfortable and which could help her relax.
But Huohuo was still a little girl. If Ji Yuan gave her a full-body massage, a whole squad of Cloud Knights would probably come knocking at his door immediately.
"But there's still Tingyun, isn't there?"
Ji Yuan thought to himself again.
A whole mess of inappropriate scenes immediately surfaced in his mind.
Ji Yuan quickly shook his head and pushed such thoughts aside.
Then he felt a weight settle on his thigh. Looking down, he saw a nimble, slender foot stepping on it.
Ji Yuan raised his head and discovered that the owner of that foot was his younger sister, Sushang.
"Come on, big bro, smell it. It really doesn't smell at all."
Sushang was still thinking about what had happened earlier and shouted at Ji Yuan.
The moment he heard that, Ji Yuan grabbed her calf in disgust, moved her leg aside, and hurriedly stood up to get away.
Maybe I should just throw this sister out.
Seeing herself tossed aside, Sushang immediately refused to accept it. She charged at Ji Yuan, intending to pounce on him in retaliation.
Unfortunately, as her brother for over a hundred years, Ji Yuan easily suppressed Sushang.
Tingyun: Yes, We Slept Together Last Night!
Watching Huohuo, dressed like a little housekeeper with an apron around her waist, her fluffy green hair tied into a ponytail, and fuzzy slippers on her little feet, diligently cleaning the house, Ji Yuan could not help smiling.
Well, at least he would not need to worry about the housework for the next couple of days.
"Let's go, big bro. Don't make me late for registration." As Ji Yuan was thinking, Sushang grabbed his hand and pulled him outside. At the front gate of the courtyard, Tingyun was standing there, waving at the two of them.
