Chapter 43: Give Yanran an essential oil back
Chen Daoxuan didn't care about it, but felt that his disciple's method of hiding things was really strange. But after all, there is such a large capacity, she can put it down, and he has nothing to say...
After casually taking out a marrow washing pill from the jade bottle, Chen Daoxuan thought for a while, but he didn't put the jade bottle back to its original place, but just put it on the bed casually.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
The Marrow-cleansing Pill was also turned into fine particles by him and incorporated into the spiritual liquid.
A small cluster of spiritual liquid, after blending with the leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, became even denser than before.
"Alright, everything is ready. Today, I shall let you experience the essence of... profound! Oil! Back! Massage!" Chen Daoxuan's lips curled into a hint of a smile as he murmured confidently.
Leng Yanran was a bit baffled after hearing this. "Profound oil back massage?" What was that? She didn't inquire further, patiently awaiting her master's next actions.
Before long, Chen Daoxuan extracted a portion of the spiritual liquid with his hands from the cluster, then refined it further using his spiritual energy, increasing its purity.
However, just as he was about to begin, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. To perform a "profound oil back massage," direct contact with the back was necessary. Even though Yanran's silk evening dress revealed a portion of her shoulders and back, it wasn't sufficient.
"Um, this method requires you to expose some skin, otherwise, the absorption of this spiritual liquid won't be perfect. Would you like to do it yourself, or should I? Or if you find it inconvenient, never mind. I'll think of another way to help you eliminate those early hidden issues."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Daoxuan decided to ask for his disciple's opinion.
"Master is willing to help disciple eliminate hidden issues. How could disciple refuse? Well... I'll do it myself!"
Upon hearing her master's words, Leng Yanran's face instantly turned red, even to her ears.
But she knew her master's intentions were for her own good, so without hesitation, she agreed. She sat up and removed her long dress in front of her master, using her arms to cover a few key areas. Then, she quickly lay back down on the bed.
"Um... Hold on a moment."
Chen Daoxuan was taken aback. He intended to simply undo the back of the dress; there was no need for her to undress completely!
Although a tinge of disappointment flickered within her, she quickly reminded herself that she would have plenty of opportunities to spend time with her master in the future. Her eyes lit up again at the thought.
She reached for her dress, intending to head to the Spirit Pool Hall for a soak. However, her hand froze in mid-air.
"It seems Master only intended to massage my back... So why did I have to take everything off!?
"Ah!!! How embarrassing, so embarrassing..."
Suddenly, a realization struck Leng Yanran, and she let out a startled cry, clenching her fists in regret.
Master only wanted her to expose her back, yet she had misunderstood his intentions. However, last time in the Spirit Pool Hall, she had been seen by Master anyway. Seeing her again... wouldn't be a big deal!
In fact, she wished Master would want to see her! After coming to terms with her mistake, Leng Yanran finally accepted her colossal blunder She put on her dress and went off to soak in the Spirit Pool Hall, feeling rather dejected
Outside the Heavenly Dao Hall, by a small pavilion, Chen Daoxuan absentmindedly traced his fingers as the scene from earlier continued to linger in his mind. Just then, the Enlightenment Tea Tree beside him swayed slightly.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Chen Daoxuan snapped back to attention, curious about the tree's behavior. The Enlightenment Tea Tree seemed rather indignant. And he asked what's wrong?
Just a moment ago, it was basking in the sunlight, feeling like the happiest and luckiest tree in the world. But suddenly, "crack!"—a sound, and a portion of its branches were gone! Although they would grow back eventually, it hurt!
[Master, next time you need a branch, could you please give Chacha a heads-up!]
[Unexpectedly losing a branch without any preparation is quite frightening for Chacha!]
"Ahem, understood, I'll be more careful next time.
Chen Daoxuan twitched at the corner of his mouth, realizing it was about that incident. He had been hasty...
