Everyone says that a serious man is the most handsome, and now An Yiqing had to admit it was true—she was completely powerless against the focused Gu Yelin in this moment.
"Tutu, are you awake?" Just then, Gu Yelin heard a sound and turned his head, only to be caught by An Yiqing’s laughing eyes. He opened the kitchen door, took An Yiqing’s small hand, and pulled her inside.
"How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? I’ve prepared some massage oil on the coffee table. After we eat, I’ll give you a massage," Gu Yelin said, giving An Yiqing a concerned once-over.
The man’s straightforward question made An Yiqing blush fiercely, and she cast a shy but reproachful glance at him, thoroughly disarming Gu Yelin.
"What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Gu Yelin asked, a bit cluelessly, after steadying his mind.
"Um, it’s nothing. My body just feels a bit sore and achy," An Yiqing said with a red face, glancing around as if embarrassed.
Seeing his darling’s shy demeanor, Gu Yelin immediately understood. A faint smile graced his sculpted, stunning face.
"Go sit in the dining room for a bit. The food will be ready soon," he said tenderly, affectionately stroking An Yiqing’s little head.
An Yiqing obediently nodded and wobbled over to the dining room, quietly waiting for the delicious meal.
After they finished eating, the ever-so-kind Gu Yelin tirelessly gave An Yiqing a complete 360-degree, no-blind-spot massage, and also included some Inner Breath adjustments as a bonus. The professional level nearly made An Yiqing cry out in comfort, leaving her without a single sore spot throughout her body.
After their cozy time together, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin drove to the Thirteen Blood Generals Mansion.
She had been closed off in seclusion for half a month, and she had no idea how the Blood Generals’ survey work had been going.
"Miss, you’ve come out of seclusion?!"
As soon as An Yiqing walked into the mansion, she was caught by the sharp-eyed An Zhiyu, who shouted in disbelief, drawing out the other brothers inside the mansion.
"I left seclusion yesterday morning. How has everything been this half a month? Were there any mishaps?" An Yiqing asked directly, most concerned with her brothers’ injuries.
An Zhiyu shook his head, "All is well. Big Brother and Fourth Brother have suffered some injuries, but their lives were never in danger. General Gu’s men are very strong and would’ve helped in a critical moment. But the brothers said, unless absolutely necessary, they absolutely wouldn’t let Brother Xiaosha and the others take action. After all, it’s during these critical moments that the human body’s potential can be most easily stimulated."
An Yiqing was very heartened, as her brothers truly were tough guys, and they never let her down.
"Good, tell Ah Feng and the others to be careful. These experiences come all the time, but if they lose an arm or a leg, even if I were Hua Tuo, I couldn’t bring them back," An Yiqing reminded again with concern. Then she took out from her bag a Cultivation Technique that was identical to the one she had given the An Family the day before.
"Miss, what’s this?" An Zhiyu asked, puzzled.
"This is a Cultivation Technique I’ve summarized. It’s very powerful, and you must all practice it well," An Yiqing said, handing the booklet to An Zhiyu and addressing the other Blood Generals, "This Cultivation Technique was left by the Ancient Great Deity Shennong Shi. I happened to inherit it by chance. This is a copy I wrote. Practice it according to this; it will be of great help in future crises."
An Zhiyu and the others were curious, wondering what kind of Cultivation Technique could make their own Miss describe it in such a mystical and profound way?
