Mi Xiaoying was one hundred percent against Liu Ergou's proposal, but her disagreent was destined to be futile. In the end, while still protesting, she was forcibly carried into the bathroom by Liu Ergou.
By the ti the bath was finished, the sky had turned pitch black.
Afterward, Liu Ergou erged from the bathroom, holding the now listless Mi Xiaoying in his arms. Looking at her current state, Liu Ergou nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, Mi Xiaoying just needed to be taught a lesson. After sorting her out like this, she's beco much more obedient.
With this in mind, Liu Ergou pushed open the door to the office's break room and laid Mi Xiaoying on the bed. Only when she was lying down did a spark of light finally return to her eyes.
"Liu Ergou, you're truly inhuman!" Mi Xiaoying said in an almost imperceptible voice.
If Liu Ergou hadn't been cultivating the Body Cultivation Technique, he might not have even heard what she was saying.
"Heh heh heh, thanks for the complint!" Liu Ergou replied with a laugh.
Hearing his response, Mi Xiaoying desperately wanted to roll her eyes to express her frustration. But she was so weary in body and spirit that even the simple act of blinking felt like too much effort, let alone rolling her eyes. Helpless, she could only close them, attempting to ignore Liu Ergou.
However, the mont Mi Xiaoying closed her eyes, she clearly felt Liu Ergou's large hand being laid upon her. This sudden developnt scared her so much that her eyes snapped wide open.
"Liu... Liu Ergou!" Mi Xiaoying cried out weakly. "That's enough!"
"I couldn't stand it in the bathroom! If this continues, it'll be the death of !"
"You... stop!"
Hearing her words, Liu Ergou explained without even looking up, "What are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who has no compassion?"
"I'm giving you a massage so you can recover faster. Otherwise, you'll have to spend all day tomorrow in bed."
"You wouldn't want your subordinates to see you like this, would you?"
With these words, Mi Xiaoying imdiately clamped her mouth shut and said no more. Liu Ergou took the opportunity to begin the massage.
He circulated his True Qi, focusing it into his hands. Then, targeting the acupoints on Mi Xiaoying's body, he began to knead them.
Soon, Mi Xiaoying felt a warm and slightly tingling sensation wherever Liu Ergou's hands touched. Her fatigued body gradually regained its vitality under his massage. Feeling the changes, she finally relaxed and closed her eyes, enjoying the treatnt.
As the massage continued, Mi Xiaoying beca increasingly comfortable, to the point where she couldn't help but let out a soft moan. After nearly half an hour, Liu Ergou finally stopped.
The mont he did, Mi Xiaoying imdiately protested.
"Er Gou, don't stop! I was just starting to feel it. Can you massage a little more, please?"
Liu Ergou decisively refused her request.
"No!"
With that, he gave her a firm slap on the butt.
"Haven't you heard of moderation?" he added. "Too much of a good thing isn't good for you."
"Get up and move around a bit!"
Mi Xiaoying reluctantly agreed and, following Liu Ergou's instructions, stood up to stretch her body. The mont she moved, she realized the fatigue had almost completely vanished, and her mind felt even clearer than before.
Looking at Liu Ergou, she couldn't help but marvel, "Er Gou, your dical skills are incredible!"
"But then again, if I'd known you were this good, I would have used a different tactic on you!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou raised his eyebrows.
"What kind of tactic?"
Mi Xiaoying pondered for a mont before declaring with a straight face, "A honey trap!"
Her words first stunned Liu Ergou, then sent him into a fit of laughter. However, just as he was laughing his hardest, Mi Xiaoying's next sentence froze the smile on his face.
"Seriously, Er Gou, you're really amazing!"
"The places you massaged are all warm and toasty!"
"Other traditional Chinese doctors don't have this ability. I've seen many, and you're the most skilled I've t!"
"But... although I've never t anyone more skilled than you, I did once et a doctor back in Jingdu who could also make people feel warm and toasty with a massage!"
"I..."
Before Mi Xiaoying could finish, Liu Ergou, who had been laughing just a mont ago, suddenly stepped forward and stared intently into her eyes.
The sudden shift startled Mi Xiaoying, and she instinctively looked away. But as soon as she did, Liu Ergou's gaze followed hers. This ga of cat and mouse—her fleeing, him pursuing—continued for so ti before Mi Xiaoying finally relented.
"Hey, what are you doing, Er Gou!" she said irritably. "Why are you staring at like that? Don't you know how scary you look!"
But Liu Ergou ignored her complaint and asked with utmost seriousness, "Miss Mi, you just said you t a traditional Chinese doctor in Jingdu with the sa skills as ?"
"You aren't joking, are you? Are you sure you weren't mistaken?"
Seeing his grave expression, Mi Xiaoying knew this was no ti for jokes.
"I really did et a doctor in Jingdu who was a lot like you," she replied imdiately. "As for joking, do you take for an idiot? Does this seem like the ti to be joking? I have no reason to lie to you about sothing like this. I'm not a fool."
With that, Mi Xiaoying lifted her chin with a look of indignation, clearly annoyed.
After hearing her out, Liu Ergou fell into deep thought.
Soone else has the sa abilities as ? That's ridiculous. According to my mories, what I inherited is one of a kind. There are definitely no copies. The Body Cultivation Technique especially is a treasure among treasures; it's impossible for anyone else to co across it. Besides, I received these legacies from my great-grandfather. How could anyone else possibly obtain them?
Liu Ergou thought long and hard, but he couldn't co up with any answers. Instead, his confusion only grew. Ultimately, he decided he had to ask Mi Xiaoying directly for a more detailed account. It was the only way he could gather more clues.
