Chapter 8 – Insufficient affection, not allowed to see
"Is this the kind of personal attention I think it is?"
With a hint of doubt, Chen Huaian decided to use it.
"Ah, senior is going to personally channel energy to heal me?" He saw Li Qingran suddenly freeze, her pretty face immediately turning red. The girl quickly waved her hand, "Qingran's status is lowly, how could I be worthy of such attention from senior? I can manage on my own..."
Four dialogue options popped up:
<Let's get this over with quickly, I'm busy!>
<You dare defy me, girl? Tired of living? Heh heh!>
<Hmph, little girl, don't be ungrateful! This is your honor!>
<Top up 300¥ to purchase a Sound Transmission Talisman for free dialogue.>
Chen Huaian: "..."
He felt like the game developers were about to reach into his bank account.
If he had to spend 300 yuan here, he would really be crazy.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Huaian chose the first option.
It was the only one that seemed somewhat normal, though a bit arrogant.
After selecting the dialogue, Chen Huaian didn't hear his own voice.
But it seemed Li Qingran did hear it, as fear flashed in her eyes. She took a half-step back, lowered her head in fear, and whispered while clutching her clothes as if she had been scolded, "Alright, alright... But Qingran is dirty, may I clean myself before senior channels energy for breath regulation?"
As a cultivator, it's impossible for her to have any odor.
But over the past half month, she had been living in disarray, her hair unkempt, and inevitably covered in dust and mud, with dried bloodstains on her clothes. She couldn't bring herself to let senior channel energy to heal her in such a state.
She perked up her ears, waiting for senior's response.
<No need to wash, I prefer the original scent, heh heh!>
<Very well, go ahead, I'll wait for you.>
<Stop wasting time, take off your top!>
<Top up 300¥ to purchase a Sound Transmission Talisman for free dialogue.>
Uh...
First and fourth options were immediately ruled out.
Chen Huaian hesitated between the second and third options.
What would happen if he chose the third option?
Would Li Qingran really take off her top? It seemed like she was only wearing that one piece.
If he chose the second option, Li Qingran would definitely go to bathe, but could he watch?
No wonder the game required players to be over 18; there might really be unspeakable VIP content.
But was Chen Huaian such a pervert?
He played the game and spent money because Li Qingran, this data, provided him with emotional value, the last ray of hope in his despairing life!
Besides, Li Qingran was already very pretty with a dirty face.
She'd be even prettier after a wash.
It's definitely not because he wanted to explore the bathroom.
Option two it is!
Li Qingran on the screen blushed and nodded, whispering, "Then, Qingran will go now."
The bathroom was right next door, though it wasn't there originally.
She had already observed it when exploring the house; it had all the necessary toiletries. As a girl who loved cleanliness, she had long wanted to wash up, but hadn't had the chance to settle down.
Entering the bathroom, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
Just as she was about to undress, Li Qingran's fingers paused at her chest, and her face flushed red to her ears.
She bit her lip gently, her head lowered as she thought: Senior has great powers, foreseeing the Demon Wolf's attack, and brought Spirit Stones and Pills when she coughed up blood. This meant everything about her could be seen by senior.
In other words, if she bathed here, it would definitely be exposed to senior's gaze.
This...
"No, it can't be! Senior isn't that kind of person!"
Li Qingran shook her head vigorously.
She even felt ashamed for thinking that way.
If senior wanted to take advantage of her, why wait until now?
Besides, senior was probably an elder of several hundred years, judging by his speech. A young voice doesn't mean a young age, and such an elder surely wouldn't be interested in someone like her.
With this thought, most of her shyness and inner conflict vanished.
Her clothes slipped off her bare shoulders, and as her undergarment was untied, a finely proportioned, enticing figure was revealed...

Meanwhile.
Chen Huaian stared at his phone, his eyes red.
His finger hovered over the bathroom, hesitating.
He had already tried before; he could switch rooms at will.
Just a light tap.
"Chen Huaian, don't become someone even you despise!
But, this is just a game! It's human nature!
Chen Huaian, you're a cancer patient, you don't need this kind of desire!
So what if I'm a patient? Can't patients have desires?
I'm just worried the girl might have an accident in the bathroom, what if she slips?
What if a giant Shark Demon or Octopus Demon suddenly appears in the bathroom?"
With his thoughts clear, his finger landed on the bathroom.
【Insufficient Favorability, unable to peek】
Chen Huaian breathed a sigh of relief, his anxious heart calmed.
But it quickly stirred again.
So, it meant he could watch, but the favorability wasn't enough to allow it?
"Acting like I really want to watch."
Chen Huaian sneered, casually opening a small website to browse.
To read the uncut version, go to ].
Halfway through browsing, a prompt came from the game.
【Li Qingran has finished bathing】
"So fast? Don't girls usually take more than half an hour to bathe?"
Chen Huaian silently put the opened tissue back, focusing on the bathroom door.
After a while, the door opened a crack, faint steam wafting out. Then it opened fully, and Li Qingran emerged with bare shoulders, wrapped in a plain white towel. Chen Huaian's view was instantly filled with her long, slender, fair feet, and as the view zoomed in, he could even see water droplets rolling off them.
"Hiss! Small workshop, impressive! Matrix, impressive!"
Chen Huaian praised the water droplets and steam.
"By the way, isn't the girl going to wear new clothes?"
He saw Li Qingran already kneeling on the bed, her back to the camera.
Her flawless back made him want to apply some fire cupping.
"Senior, Qingran is ready..."
In Li Qingran's mind, senior was a kind and stern grandfather figure, so her shyness and psychological burden weren't particularly severe. But after taking the Great Rejuvenation Pill and untying her robe, the clothes slipped down her waistline, covering her legs and hips, exposing her entire back. Her ears turned a deep purple.@@novelbin@@
Channeling energy for breath regulation and healing couldn't be done through clothes, especially on the back, abdomen, and chest.
Her body had accumulated Fire Poison and various impurities, which would be expelled during the process.
And Fire Poison was hot, easily igniting clothes, so exposing her entire back was the most convenient.
Exposing just her back was better than being completely burned clean, right?
Chen Huaian stared at Li Qingran's back, completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, the game view had zoomed in on Li Qingran's back, showing the area from below her head to above her hips.
He could even see the faint blood vessels under her fair skin.
"Really, testing an me with this?"
He said this, but he had to admit.
That back was truly beautiful.
The curves were perfect.
But what to do next?
Before he could wonder for a few seconds, a golden array of acupuncture points appeared on Li Qingran's back.
【Please press 'Mingmen' with your left hand and 'Qihai Shu' with your right hand to start channeling energy for healing.】
