Chapter 267: Governor and Conception Vessels!
The room was filled with an enchanting intimacy, which the dim, soft lighting only served to enhance.
Seeing Zhao Dong's gaze on her, Jiang Nianyu's blush deepened. Biting her lip shyly, she said, "Zhao Dong, why… why are you staring at me?"
"Nianyu, you're so beautiful."
Zhao Dong didn't know what possessed him to blurt out such a thing.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Nianyu's body trembled slightly. Her cheeks flushed a deep, rosy hue, as dewy and vibrant as a blooming rose.
She shot Zhao Dong a coy glance, then whispered shyly, her voice barely audible, "Stop flattering me… Should I go put some clothes on?"
Is my nightgown… too tempting for him? she wondered.
Zhao Dong scratched his head and smiled. "This is your home. Wear whatever you want."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianyu flashed a knowing, clever smile. "Then I won't. I'm fine like this."
As she spoke, Jiang Nianyu walked over with a feigned confidence that belied her inner shyness.
But this is no time to be shy. Besides, how can I be shy in front of Zhao Dong?
Noticing that the Zixuan Grass in front of Zhao Dong had been halved, with one part remaining and the other completely withered, Jiang Nianyu asked in surprise, "Have you already refined your portion?"
Zhao Dong smiled. "That's right. Now, I'll help you open your governor and conception vessels to see if you have any cultivation potential. Even if you don't, I can still help you refine this Zixuan Grass. Absorbing it will be incredibly beneficial for your body."
Jiang Nianyu's cheeks were crimson. Biting her lip, she asked, "So, how do we open them?"
Zhao Dong scratched his head, his eyes falling on the lightly-clad Jiang Nianyu. An inexplicable heat stirred within him. Her ample, burgeoning chest, her slender, snow-white legs, and that stunningly beautiful, delicate face…
This is… a little too much to handle!
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Dong finally said, "Nianyu, maybe… maybe you should put on a robe or something."
Jiang Nianyu suddenly smiled playfully. "Oh? And why do you want me to put on clothes?"
Zhao Dong touched his nose. "Like this… I can't quiet my mind. I'm afraid I'll lose control."
Jiang Nianyu's heart fluttered. With a teasing smile, she said, "Lose control? You'd dare do something to me? I don't believe it. I gave you a chance to sleep with me before and you didn't dare. I refuse to believe you'd try anything tonight. So just leave it. Come on, open them up for me."
Zhao Dong gave a bitter smile. "Don't underestimate a man's madness in a moment like this. Look at this quiet bedroom, this big bed… I might actually sleep with you."
Jiang Nianyu's heart was in turmoil, her pulse quickening uncontrollably. Still, she forced herself to say through her shyness, "I… I don't believe you! I'm not putting anything on! I'd like to see you try and do something to me."
With a helpless, bitter smile, Zhao Dong said, "Alright, then. Get on the bed."
Hearing those words, Jiang Nianyu felt her breathing grow erratic as another wave of shyness washed over her. Late at night, a man and a woman, alone, and he's telling me to get on the bed… This seems a little… No! He wouldn't dare do anything to me! What's there to be afraid of?
Jiang Nianyu took a deep breath, climbed onto the bed, and obediently lay down.
Zhao Dong walked to the bedside. As he gazed at Jiang Nianyu's perfect, alluring body, his mind went blank.
Jiang Nianyu glared at him, trying to hide her bashfulness. "Stop spacing out! Get on with it!"
Startled by her words, Zhao Dong quickly nodded and pulled a stool to the side of the bed.
Jiang Nianyu asked suspiciously, "What's the stool for?"
"You just lie on the bed. I'll sit here and see if I can open them for you," Zhao Dong replied. "Though, it might be more convenient if I was on the bed."
"Then why don't you get on the bed? Too embarrassed?" Jiang Nianyu asked, a flirtatious smile playing on her lips.
Zhao Dong scratched his head and answered honestly, "To be honest, I am a little embarrassed."
Jiang Nianyu's eyes danced, and a seductive smile curved her lips. "Zhao Dong, I am now ordering you to take a shower and then get on this bed."
"Huh?!"
Zhao Dong froze, staring at her in astonishment.
Jiang Nianyu's face was beet red. "Don't 'huh' me! I told you to go, so go!"
"But…"
"No buts. Go on. I don't like the smell of sweat."
Zhao Dong paused and sniffed himself, then smiled bitterly. "But I don't smell any sweat!"
"If I say you do, you do! Now go!" Jiang Nianyu's cheeks grew even redder, and she could barely meet his eyes.
Zhao Dong gave a resigned smile and scratched his head again. "But I don't have a change of clothes for after."
"I prepared some disposables earlier. You can use them."
"Oh!"
Completely outmaneuvered, Zhao Dong decided it was best to just take a shower. He walked silently into the bathroom, only to freeze the moment he entered. On the counter beside the sink were the clothes Jiang Nianyu had just taken off: a pair of white panties and the silk stockings she had removed.
A warmth spread from his nose. He touched it and his fingers came away bloody. A nosebleed…
DAMN!
Zhao Dong took a deep breath, fighting to calm himself. He hastily stripped off his clothes and stepped into the shower.
Back in the bedroom, hearing the sound of the running water, Jiang Nianyu felt as if ants were crawling all over her skin. What came over me just now? Why on earth did I make him go take a shower? Good heavens, Jiang Nianyu, what are you thinking?
She was so ashamed she wanted to cry. She'd clearly had too much to drink tonight; certain words and thoughts kept bubbling up from the depths of her mind, completely beyond her control.
In the bathroom, Zhao Dong quickly rinsed off. He found the disposable shorts and nightshirt Jiang Nianyu had mentioned, cleared his throat twice, and silently put them on. A moment later, he walked out. His hair was still wet, and the shower had left him looking even more handsome and full of vigor. The nightshirt couldn't hide his solid muscles, making him appear tall and powerful.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Nianyu looked at him, and her heart instantly began to hammer against her ribs like a frightened deer. Her throat went dry as an array of indescribable emotions swirled within her. It's the middle of the night, we've both showered… and we're on the bed… Even a fool would know what happens next…
Suppressing her blush, Jiang Nianyu put on a stern expression. "Zhao Dong, get up here. Open my governor and conception vessels."
Zhao Dong hesitated for a second before climbing onto the bed. He sat cross-legged beside her. As their eyes met, they both felt an inexplicable emotion surge in their hearts. Zhao Dong was really starting to regret coming to the Jiang residence. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have been able to absorb the Zixuan Grass in time. But now that he was here… this situation was so charged, he was terrified he might do something he couldn't control.
Finally, Zhao Dong spoke. "Nianyu, sit up and face me."
Jiang Nianyu obediently sat up. Her fair cheeks were flushed as she glanced at him before settling down to face him. They were so close, and in the stillness of the night, they could clearly hear each other's breathing.
Jiang Nianyu lowered her gaze, her face a mask of shyness. "Zhao Dong, you can begin…"
"Okay."
Zhao Dong took a deep breath and held out his hands. "Nianyu, hold out your hands, palms facing mine."
"Oh… okay!"
Jiang Nianyu extended her small hands, pressing her palms against his. The instant their skin touched, a subtle, strange sensation sparked between them.
Zhao Dong forced himself to calm down, circulating his Spiritual Energy and slowly channeling it into Jiang Nianyu's body. She soon felt a pleasant sensation, like a warm current flowing through her.
After a moment, Zhao Dong said in a low voice, "Nianyu, I need to open the acupoints on your body now. It's inevitable that my hands will have to touch you. Are you okay with that?"
Jiang Nianyu's face was radiant with a deep blush. "I am…" she whispered.
"Good. Then just lie down."
"Mhm…"
Jiang Nianyu obediently lay back down. Zhao Dong's hand gently came to rest on her smooth, flat abdomen. Her body twitched, and she bit her lip hard, a faint tremor running through her.
Zhao Dong, too, was momentarily entranced. The feeling… was truly mesmerizing.
Before opening the governor and conception vessels, he had to ensure all her other acupoints were clear. This would maximize her body's potential for the eventual breakthrough.
Zhao Dong's hand moved slowly upward, upward, soon reaching above her navel…
Jiang Nianyu's body went rigid. She squeezed her eyes shut, turned her head to the side, and bit her lip, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would leap from her chest. Her face was flushed, her body beaded with sweat. She was overcome with an indescribable sensation. It felt as if Zhao Dong's hand possessed a magical power, awakening a faint, deep-seated yearning within her. This craving is like a demon, threatening to devour me, making me think things that shame even myself!
Zhao Dong's hand glided gently before… it began to move downward again.
Soon, it reached her lower abdomen…
An involuntary "ah" escaped Jiang Nianyu's lips, and she whimpered softly, overcome with embarrassment.
Her reaction made Zhao Dong's own breath turn hot, and he nearly lost his composure. He bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to calm down as his hand moved a little lower…
With every slight movement, Jiang Nianyu's body trembled.
Suddenly, Zhao Dong's hand stopped. Jiang Nianyu opened her eyes slightly and murmured, "What's wrong, Zhao Dong?"
Zhao Dong coughed twice. "Nianyu, there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Well… you might have to… take your clothes off…"
"What?!"
Jiang Nianyu was stunned. Flustered and mortified, she stammered, "Why do I have to take more clothes off? Zhao Dong, are you teasing me?"
Zhao Dong gave a wry smile. "The governor and conception vessels are in a general area, but these two acupoints are extremely special. They're the two most important points in the human body. I have to see them clearly before I act. The slightest mistake could leave you crippled, so I need to see them with my own eyes."
"But… but…" Jiang Nianyu was so distressed she was on the verge of tears.
Zhao Dong smiled gently. "If you're really not comfortable with it, we can just forget it."
Suddenly, Jiang Nianyu bit her lip, her resolve hardening. "There's nothing I'm not comfortable with! I… I'm not going to be shy in front of you!"
With that, she proactively slid the nightgown off.
The next second, an expanse of flawless, jade-like skin was revealed to Zhao Dong. Jiang Nianyu hugged her arms to her chest, her face scarlet with embarrassment. "Zhao Dong… you can start…"
Gazing at the perfect body before him, Zhao Dong's eyes locked onto her. His throat felt like it was on fire.
Swallowing hard, he said in a hoarse voice, "Nianyu, I'm starting."
Jiang Nianyu closed her eyes and bit her lip, her face a picture of bashfulness. "Mhm…"
Zhao Dong took one last deep breath, and his hand gently descended…
