Chapter 229: When it Rains...

My eyes look down from hers, focusing on her lips. I can hear her gulp as her breath quickens even more. She seems frozen in place, seeing what Im planning on doing.

Closer and closer I move.

All until my lips meet hers.

A soft savoring of the lips, before I pull back and continue with the practice tea ceremony.

She remains in place, not moving and seeming to have lost her mind for a moment.

My voice shakes her out of this, as I ask a question.

Now, did you say I was supposed to bow while I pour the tea?

I keep my voice casual and act like what just happened hasnt happened.

After blinking a few times, she takes a breath and the answers in the affirmative. For the next few minutes, we finished out the practice and it was time for me to actually do it.

Just as I was readying myself to pour the still hot tea, her voice softly came out.

Dont do that again ok?

My conversation scan gives me the sign to pause, as if hesitating before nodding slowly.

She seems a little disappointed, but then her face changes to a half smile.

I can just see her mouth move a bit, revealing her true thoughts.

Therell be a lot more time for that later.

The rest of the ceremony goes smoothly, as its primarily a sequence of ritualistic actions of bowing, offering tea, and repeating my reasons for choosing them and that I swear oath not to betray her.

Following the ritual, I state my reasons.

When I realized I could become a core disciple, there was no doubt in my mind that you were the only one that was suitable for me.

I swear that Ill never betray you. That your interests become my interests.

By this time, she seems to have calmed down.

Also following the ritual, she states her lines.

As your master, I swear to protect you as my own and help you grow beyond the extent that you could do alone. To grow together alongside you, in all ways.

Just as she finishes her words, I can feel a change in the air. My scan picks up something subtle, a connection between me and her.

This must be the mysterious contract that is formed between disciple and master.

As it is likely that she can feel this change more cleanly than I can even with my scan I can see a happy smile on her face

Its official. Shes now someone I can trust and rely on in this world.

While I cant completely trust her as she still has her own interest in a responsibility to the site, I can give her more information on myself and other things.

One thing I definitely need to keep to myself though, and thats the scan. Out of all my abilities, that is 1 that could lead anyone to temptation.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

Before I can think further on this, she grabs my hand and pulls me towards another room within this sealed off series of rooms.

As we move, she speaks quickly.

Now that thats out of the way, lets hurry so you can start the treatment!

She actually is moving so quickly and forcefully that it strains my arm a bit. Luckily, my healing eases anything that might happen to it. A fact I wonder if she has considered.

Probably not.

Within it is a bed similar to the one you could find in any doctors office.

My scan lets me know that this is pretty typical for all the things that cultivators have to do to themselves to progress. And in case of a medical emergency from such things.

She quickly sits on it and looks expectantly at me.

From this point, it is up to me to take over.

One thing Ive learned since Ive started to treat people is that you have to bring a certain air to your work, because it helps to put people at ease.

Using my scan, Im able to quickly get into that mode and give off the air of an expert at work.

Okay, Ill need you to lie back and let your Qi flow freely within you. Once you do so and I start working, youll begin feeling a warmth go throughout your body. Thatll just be me working.

O-oh, okay.

She seems a bit surprised by my sudden change, but quickly follows my directions. The image of a lost doe appears in my mind, despite her elderly looks.

Since Ive realized her true age, I notice the small ways that much of the sage/elder front she tries to put off is just that, a facade.

In terms of actual age, shes really not that much older than I.

Though, it is worth considering that the main activity for cultivators is to sit in a room and chew pills, with the occasional battle to the death.

Previously, I was just relying on my cultivation abilities to get a look into her body to see whats wrong.

Just like before, using my scan on a cultivator at this level is a very risky situation.

But I believe this situation warrants it.

Cautiously, I use my scan to see what might have gone wrong.

Only focusing on the medical side of things, and nothing else, to avoid any issues that may pop up. With this, even if it was discovered, it should only hit on that aspect, which would be expected for someone treating you.

It doesnt even take a thorough analysis into her, before I find the answer of what had been happening.

The answer should have been obvious.

Shes really been getting off to the healing.

Ive typically tuned out the sounds of pleasure from people, as its usually not good for me to focus on.

It just gets me horny, and to be frank, in a city full of prostitutes, it wasnt the best idea to think that way. Id be taken advantage of faster than I could say lets do this.

The pleasure is just a side effect of the healing, not something that either I or them could affect. Much better than the alternative, at least.

After healing so many people in a row with the variety of issues, Ive got into a flow where I no longer allow myself to focus on it.

Admittedly, it was a little tough in the first batches, with people not having that many issues. After thousands of people, its a lot better.

But it shouldnt be to where they orgasm.

It should just feel like a really fantastic massage. Which also can get people horny, but shouldnt overtake their mind.

But this might be the exception.

I forgot about this special case. That Im healing age-related issues with Senior Songs body, besides the curse itself.

This is like getting a deep tissue massage to the power of 100. Not only is the normal pleasurable effect being applied, but one related to having literally years of her life being added back to her.

Add in the sensation of having your insides and outside being treated like that and it literally can cause your body to orgasm multiple times from the pleasure.

Even for a cultivator, it makes sense that theyd lose their minds a little.

Im honestly surprised that she stayed so silent for so long.

I cant rely on the amount of pleasure a person feels from this to stay constant and that people have the same resistance threshold.

I will have to work my treatment plans around that idea.

If I dont want there to be any long-term addiction effects that could be troublesome to get rid of, I might want to finish this up as quickly as possible.

This will take a lot more mana than Im used to using, but it should be worth it in the long run.

Im really concerned about the short-run, though.

My scan assures me that this is the best way, though. For my sanity and future.

I do not feel assured.

Changing my priorities, I reduce the amount Im spending on other mana abilities, as well as the one for Senior Song. I also dropped my other Qi related abilities, as I will do this all in a single action.

Concentrating all my energy for one final push.

Huh?

Her eyes flutter open hazily, just before they slowly fixate on me in wanting confusion.

And thats when I pour an enormous amount of mana and Ki into both my healing abilities.

Ahh! O.. Oh! Ahh! AAAH!

Its raining.
