Chapter – 03
A Hotel Room Treatment to Clear the Blood Vessels
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.
Zhang Yang grabbed a simple meal on the roadside, then headed to the hotel he had booked and waited quietly.
At around eight o’clock, Liu Piaoxu finally arrived.
“Director Liu, lie down on the bed.”
Liu Piaoxu obediently lay face down on the bed.
The mattress sank into two swirls, and there was still a gap between her waist and the bed.
The scale was terrifying. What on earth had she eaten to grow like that?
Suppressing the lascivious thoughts in his heart, Zhang Yang stood beside the bed and gently placed his hands on her waist.
*Giggle!*
Liu Piaoxu suddenly rolled over and dodged away: “No, it’s too ticklish. I can’t stand it.”
“Ticklishness comes from the mind. Just don’t think about it.”
Under Zhang Yang’s insistence, she lay face down on the bed again.
*Giggle!*
Liu Piaoxu rolled over once more and tumbled straight off the bed onto the floor.
Zhang Yang was speechless. This was the first time he had ever encountered someone with such a sensitive body.
“Let me catch my breath. How about we chat for a bit first, alright?”
Another reason for Liu Piaoxu’s ticklishness was that she was feeling a little scared inside.
The waist wasn’t like the shoulders; it was a relatively private area. What if Zhang Yang got carried away while massaging her?
Here they were, a man and a woman alone in a room. If he used force, she wouldn’t be able to resist at all.
“What do you want to talk about?” Zhang Yang asked.
“I heard you’re dating a nurse named Xia Wei, is that right?”
Zhang Yang nodded. “We dated for two years, but we’ve already broken up.”
Liu Piaoxu was curious: “Why?”
“One night during the night shift, she called me into an empty ward and confessed her feelings, saying it was love at first sight. I didn’t really feel much for her at first, since we’d only just met. But the next day, word had already spread. For the sake of her reputation, I agreed, and we got together. She had a more traditional personality and refused to live together before marriage. For two years, we never had any physical relationship; we treated each other with respect. But just yesterday, I found out she’d actually been kept by another man for a long time.”
*Pfft!*
Liu Piaoxu had thought it was going to be a beautiful love story, but that last line threw her for a loop.
“I’m sorry, I’m not laughing at you. I really couldn’t help it,” Liu Piaoxu quickly apologized.
“It’s okay. It’s good to see her true colors.”
As the conversation deepened, the atmosphere eased considerably. Seeing that the time was right, Zhang Yang asked Liu Piaoxu to lie face down on the bed again.
Zhang Yang first placed his hands on her shoulders, and only after her body became less sensitive did he move to her waist.
It worked. By the time he finished with her neck and moved his hands to her back, Liu Piaoxu was no longer feeling ticklish or itchy.
Soon, Liu Piaoxu began to moan comfortably, but her body was tense and rigid.
She was starting to regret it. What had she been thinking when she agreed to this?
Men were all ruled by their lower halves. What if he couldn’t control himself?
“Relax a bit. I’m a doctor; I have professional ethics.”
Zhang Yang forcibly suppressed his desires. He knew very well that the time was far from right.
As Liu Piaoxu had said, her lower back condition was much more serious than her cervical spine issue.
There was blocked blood flow in the lumbar spine, along with mild nerve compression.
Zhang Yang first used his vital energy to forcibly adjust the lumbar vertebrae, realigning them.
Next, he dealt with the nerve issues.
Finally, he addressed the blood circulation.
In just one short hour, Zhang Yang was completely exhausted, his internal vital energy nearly depleted.
“Your lumbar spine is more severe than I imagined. One session won’t be enough; it’ll take at least two more.”
Zhang Yang stopped his hand movements and went into the bathroom to wash his hands and wipe away his sweat.
Liu Piaoxu glanced toward the bathroom, and her favorable impression of him increased significantly.
In that kind of situation just now, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred men would have had some kind of idea.
Not only did this guy restrain himself, but he didn’t even make anyčŻć˘ć§ moves.
Why didn’t he try? What if she had agreed?
“When should we schedule the next session?” Liu Piaoxu asked.
“There might not be a next time for us.”
“Why?”
Liu Piaoxu was startled, then immediately understood. “How much money do you want? Name your price.”
Zhang Yang shook his head. “It’s not about money. There’s something I’m not sure I should say.”
“Go ahead.”
“Then I’ll be straightforward.”
Zhang Yang paused for a moment before continuing: “I practice an internal martial art. I just used internal energy to clear the stagnant blood in your body and solve your physical problems. However, my internal energy is limited, and the only way to restore it is through dual cultivation.”
“You want to use my body in exchange?”
Liu Piaoxu’s expression immediately changed, and a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.
The fox had finally shown its tail.
Zhang Yang had anticipated her reaction: “Your virginity is useful for my cultivation. I won’t take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position, and I won’t force anyone. If you don’t agree, you can leave right now.”
Any goodwill Liu Piaoxu had left for him vanished completely. She put on her shoes and walked away without looking back.
Zhang Yang didn’t try to stop her. Women like Liu Piaoxu, who had never been in a relationship, were very hard to win over.
Instead of spending time chasing her, he might as well focus on finding a woman who was willing.
Besides men, the world was full of women. There were far more suitable partners for cultivation than just her.
Soon, Zhang Yang put his regrets aside and sat cross-legged on the floor to practice breathing and energy circulation.
*Boom!*
A flash of lightning streaked across the window.
Moments later, heavy rain began to pour down.
The downpour lasted for half an hour with no sign of letting up.
The doorbell rang. Zhang Yang went to open the door.
Liu Piaoxu stood at the doorway, both nervous and shy: “My car is parked outside, and I don’t have an umbrella. I can’t get back.”
“The rain won’t let up anytime soon. Come in and rest for a while.”
After speaking, Zhang Yang sat back down cross-legged to continue his cultivation.
Liu Piaoxu stared at him and noticed that his hair was moving without any wind, and his clothes were also gently billowing.
It seemed as if a powerful force was flowing through his body.
She had never seen anything so strange. Could this guy actually be a legendary ancient martial arts master?
Otherwise, how could he have cured her cervical spine in just a few minutes?
How could he have seen at a glance that she was a virgin, when she had never told anyone about that before?
“Zhang Yang… is my body really useful for your cultivation?”
After wrestling with herself for a long time, Liu Piaoxu finally asked.
Zhang Yang nodded. “I have the ability to tell you’re a virgin, so I’m certainly not lying to you.”
“Would I be your first woman?” she continued to ask.
Zhang Yang nodded again.
In his mind, Xia Wei didn’t even count as a woman.
“I will become stronger than you can possibly imagine in the future. If you become my woman, I will never forget you for the rest of my life.” Zhang Yang walked over to her and gently put his arm around her waist. “Wouldn’t you want to give your first time to a peerless powerhouse?”
Liu Piaoxu hesitated for a moment, then shyly nodded.
Overjoyed, Zhang Yang scooped her up in his arms.
