Chapter 81: Descending the Mountain
It has been quite a while since Jiang Huai seriously massaged Chu Xianning. The last time he massaged her was just a simple shoulder rub. He remembered that when they were younger, he used to knead her shoulders and pound her legs, his face full of youthful innocence as he claimed to have learned massage techniques from ancient texts and wanted to relieve his master’s fatigue.
Back then, he could lightly and gently touch her feet and waist. If he dared to say such things now, he’d probably have his paws chopped off.
Jiang Huai’s fingertips rested on Chu Xianning’s shoulder. She looked calmly ahead while he stood behind her, lifting her jet-black hair with a hairpin. Her hair was silky and smooth. Jiang Huai slightly bowed his head, the fragrance from her hair becoming even more intense.
“Has master been sleeping poorly lately?”
“No.”
“Oh, I just feel like your energy seems a bit congested. That’s not good. Should I bring the Qingxue Youlan from Qingyu’s room to master’s room?”
“No need.”
“It’s good for sleep.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Alright, then I’ll see if I can find another spiritual flower for master when I go down the mountain.”
Some spiritual flowers have calming and mind-clearing effects, like the Qingxue Youlan in Luo Qingyu’s room. Jiang Huai’s fingertips moved from Chu Xianning’s shoulder to her arm, lifting her wrist and gently grasping her fingertips. Chu Xianning felt a bit awkward but didn’t speak, allowing him to continue massaging for a while before he finally withdrew his hand.
