98: "The Clock in the Opposite Direction"

“This… isn’t good, is it?”

Ning Yu’s voice was as tiny as a mosquito’s.

She had already had quite a bit of contact with Han Lie, and he wasn’t the type of honest, well-behaved student. Frankly speaking, there weren’t many parts of her body that Han Lie hadn’t touched.

“He wants to massage me?”

Just thinking about this made Ning Yu blush.

This was different from being taken advantage of; it felt like a role reversal, like playing a part.

“Flip over!”

Han Lie didn’t think too much about it. In fact, he had another theory: the reason he hadn’t been able to fully comprehend Pile Stance was very likely because he hadn’t actively put in the effort.

So, he wanted to try.

What if he gave the massage?

“...Alright then...”

Ning Yu only hesitated for a moment before obediently rolling over on the sofa, her face flushed as she buried it into the cushions, which only further emphasized the difference in height between her buttocks and her sunken lower back.

“Take off your clothes!”

“Ah...”

“I meant your outer layer...”

“I-I know!”

Han Lie reached out his hands. He didn’t understand any massage techniques, but having been massaged for so long, he knew roughly which muscles and bones needed loosening.

“Should I start from the feet?”

Han Lie hesitated.

Looking down, Ning Yu’s feet seemed to be of the Egyptian type, with clearly defined toes descending from high to low, and evenly distributed bone and flesh, making them extremely pleasant to look at.

“There shouldn’t be any smell, right?”

Han Lie thought about it and decided against it.

She had sweated a lot just now, and perhaps to prevent slipping, she had been wearing socks the whole time. If there was an odor, the experience wouldn’t be very good.

“Forget it...”

“I’ll just do a back massage!”

Han Lie thought to himself.

Then, he reached out his hand.

Ning Yu was only wearing a small camisole now, her fair skin particularly striking. Han Lie didn’t think too much and directly covered her with his large hand.

“...Ah...!”

“What’s wrong?” Han Lie asked.

“N-nothing...”

Ning Yu’s face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed. She quickly explained, “It was just a bit sudden, it’s fine, Master, please continue... continue...”

“Making such a fuss!”

Han Lie didn’t think too much.

Of course, he didn’t know that as a martial artist, especially one skilled in using a blade, his hands inevitably had calluses.

And Ning Yu, on the other hand,

had hardly practiced martial arts. She was still young and had never worked outdoors. Her skin was incredibly delicate. When Han Lie covered her without much thought, the intensity of the sensation for her was no less than being punched in the chest.

Han Lie didn’t think too much about it.

He was diligently searching for pressure points.

After a while,

he actually found them.

He just went through the motions of massaging—

It was at this moment,

Suddenly!!

“No,”

“No!!!”

Han Lie’s hands remained in the same position as the previous second, but his expression uncontrollably brightened with joy, because he felt like he had found the correct way to unlock it!!!

Just this simple contact, using a so-called massage method, resulted in his entire body’s blood and qi surging, as if he were performing Pile Stance!!

This wasn’t the most crucial part.

The most crucial part was that some Pile Stance experience related to imitating the movements of the God-Demon Heaven Piercing Ape and replicating its blood and qi circulation trajectory appeared out of thin air in his mind!!!

He understood!!

“Holy shit!”

“So it wasn’t that the system had a problem, it was that my damn method of unlocking it was wrong!!”

Han Lie was both surprised and delighted, slapping his thigh.

Well, well,

it turned out he had been taking a detour for half a year.

He knew it,

how could there only be experience and results, without concrete insights? This system was clearly not some second-rate system!!

It felt good,

it really felt good now.

Han Lie secretly gloated, his hands continuing their movements, his entire body’s blood and qi surging erratically.

............

“Is this a reverse bell?”

Ning Yu had only heard of it before.

She originally thought she would never have the chance to see it in this lifetime, because her career had been very smooth; she had met Han Lie less than two days into her work.

Later...

It should be considered that Han Lie had taken her on as a mistress for a high price. On the surface, it wasn’t phrased that way, but she had always believed it to be so.

Otherwise, why would Han Lie pay such a high price to hire her when her massage skills weren’t superb and her martial arts realm was extremely low?

She knew her place.

As for now, she only felt that Han Lie’s large hands were very comfortable, warm... Not only were the areas he covered warm, but her entire body felt warm.

“So warm...”

“Mmm—!”

.............

“???”

What the hell?

Han Lie naturally heard it, and his heart was inevitably restless, but now the most crucial thing was to gain insight into Pile Stance; women would only affect the speed of his cultivation.

Subsequently,

for the next two hours.

Han Lie immersed himself wholeheartedly in his insights. The experience gained from Pile Stance cultivation accumulated by hundreds of times. What was enlightenment? This was it!!

“I understand, I understand!!!”

“No wonder I could only last for such a short time before. It turns out I was only imitating its form, and I didn’t know the meaning behind it at all!!”

“No wonder, the way an ape’s body operates is fundamentally very different from a human’s, all because of the different body structures. To break through limits without damaging the body, one must put more effort into this movement.......”

Han Lie pressed Ning Yu’s neck with his hands,

gaining extremely deep insights.

“.....Mmm!”

Ning Yu was also deeply immersed. Her body was on the sofa, but her mind had already reached the heavens. She had never been so comfortable, as if her body, mind, and soul were all evolving.

Only her mind was a bit hazy.

No need to elaborate here, but if you were to pry it open, it would likely be yellow inside.

........

Another half an hour passed!!

“I’ve comprehended!”

Han Lie finally stopped his movements, because his body had reached its limit. In just these two and a half hours, the growth in experience he gained was no less than all he had acquired in the past two and a half years.

“Is this Pile Stance?!”

It was as if he had rediscovered it.

“—Mmm...”

At this moment, Ning Yu was still murmuring.

Han Lie heard it clearly,

and felt a little heated himself.

Although his body was a bit tired, wasn’t he still at an advantage against a weak woman?

“Are you ready?”

He asked.

“...Al...always ready...”

Ning Yu replied with hazy eyes.

................

The night passed without a word.

Early the next morning, Han Lie kindly helped change the blood-stained sheets. Ning Yu was already sprawled on the bed, unable to get up, and could barely walk to the bathroom, limping along.

Han Lie paid no mind.

His way of doing things was the same as his martial arts style.

Charging head-on, regardless of consequences.

Nor would he let emotions overly influence him.

He put on his clothes, feeling refreshed.

Pile Stance class,

was about to start in ten minutes!!

Going now, he’d arrive just in time.

Perfect.

(I originally didn’t want to write about the man and woman’s intimate process, but someone said my protagonist was an eunuch... That won’t do!! In the future, if there are similar plots, the process will be simple and direct, no dragging it out, the main point is to get straight to it.)
