"Since you've already taken off your shirt, just lie face down on the bed now. Let this miss help you relax those muscles."
Bailu rubbed her hands together, with sparks of electricity flickering between them.
Or perhaps it was just his imagination.
For a moment, Bochang felt as if the corners of the dragon girl's lips curved upwards, revealing a slightly smug smile.
"Before we start, Bailu, make sure not to apply too much pressure during the massage, and please don't electrocute me," Bochang cautioned, noticing the electric glow emanating from her palms.
His spirits tensed; he definitely didn't want an impromptu shock therapy session.
Bailu patted her flat chest reassuringly, "Don't worry, I know my limits. The sparks were just for warming up. I won't electrocute you."
Seeing her assurance...
Bochang climbed onto the bed and lay face down.
«Ever since General Jing Yuan teased Bailu... she's been referring to herself as 'this miss' all the time. Personally, I still find it cuter when she simply calls herself 'Bailu'... Should I mention something about it?»
Bochang hesitated but ultimately didn't voice his thoughts.
Gently removing her shoes and placing them aside, Bailu climbed onto the bed. She straddled Bochang's thighs, their bodies softly aligning.
Despite Bailu's petite frame pressing down on him, Bochang barely felt any weight. She seemed as light as a gentle breeze.
Of course...
This was largely due to Bochang's exceptional physical strength, creating such an illusion.
Her small hands swiftly began massaging his back.
"Crack...crack..."
Although Bailu's hands were delicate, they exerted considerable force, each press feeling like a hammer striking his back.
The tense muscles along Bochang's back gradually relaxed under Bailu's skilled touch, sending waves of soothing sensations rippling through his entire body.
Once focused on her work, Bailu's expression turned remarkably serious.
Bochang had experienced back massages from both Dan Heng and Clara before. Compared to Bailu, their techniques seemed utterly amateurish.
In comparison, Dan Heng and Clara's massage skills were embarrassingly poor.
"Ah... Sss... Mmm..."
As Bochang received Bailu's massage, involuntary moans escaped from his lips.
There was no helping it...
The dragon girl's technique was exceptional; her fingertips seemed to possess a magical allure that Bochang couldn't resist. In that moment, he recalled how Tingyun had similarly struggled not to vocalize when being stroked by him before.
Just like how the fox maiden couldn't help but let out sounds of pleasure under his touch.
"So soothing..." Bochang closed his eyes, fully enjoying the mix of pain and ecstasy, finding it utterly irresistible.
While the black-haired youth couldn't contain his audible reactions,
March 7th, on the other hand, felt far less pleased. Clenching her fists, she exclaimed, "Your behavior... still hasn't changed? First Clara, now Bailu - Bochang, you truly never learn your lesson..."
The dragon girl's massage continued for half an hour, covering nearly every inch of Bochang's body.
The system's voice only sounded after the massage ended.
[Reward distribution in progress - Congratulations! You have obtained an item: Super Flashlight. This tool can dispel illusions and reveal the true shadows of living beings. Note: The item has been stored in the system space and can be directly accessed for use.]
"Not bad at all..." Bochang muttered to himself.
Both items from the recent draws seemed quite useful.
One was a passive life-saving item—the Elementary Student Card.
The other, a Super Flashlight capable of dispelling illusions and revealing the true shadows of creatures.
With a cheerful grin, Bailu asked, "How do you feel now, Bochang? My massage skills aren't too shabby, right?"
"Indeed... It's surprisingly excellent. I didn't expect you to possess such talent."
After the dragon girl's thorough massage, Bochang felt completely relaxed. He was so comfortable that he almost went limp, not wanting to move at all—tempted just to fall asleep on the spot.
"If Bochang ever wants another massage in the future, feel free to come find me." The dragon girl straddling Bochang's waist gently smacked his backside, saying, "I'll give you a complimentary session anytime."
"Sure, sure, if I have time in the future, I'll definitely come to you." Bochang's eyes half-closed, looking like he was on the verge of falling asleep.
Bailu gently swept her dragon tail across Bochang's face and asked, "Are you going to sleep now?"
"Mm...yes..."
"No, no way! Stay and play with me a bit longer, just for a little while." Sitting on Bochang's waist, Bailu nudged the drowsy black-haired youth, saying, "Didn't you finish your massage already? Bailu, what else do you want to play?"
"Bochang, why don't you tell me some bedtime stories? Maybe then I'll fall asleep," Bailu persisted, not relenting.
Upon hearing this, Bochang's eyes widened slightly, and he asked, "Bailu, do you really plan to sleep here?"
"How...is that not okay?" The dragon girl looked puzzled.
If Miyu's trash bin didn't contain Stelle, and there were no March 7ths under his bed, it might indeed be fine for Bailu to sleep here. However...
Currently, there were too many guests at Bochang's home.
"I think it would be better for you to sleep in your own room."
"No, no... I want to sleep here; I can't fall asleep in my room. Trust me, I've tried," the dragon-girl pleaded pitifully.
This situation gave Bochang a slight headache, as the "Dating Options" prompt hadn't appeared, leaving him to find a solution on his own.
"What should I do now?"
A moment of silence ensued.
Before Bochang could respond...
Bailu continued, sounding pleadingly, "Please?"
"Not at all!" March 7th's voice chimed in from nearby.
Unbeknownst to them, the pink-haired girl had emerged from under the bed, clad in a white bathrobe. With her pink eyes fixed firmly on Bailu, she said, "At this late hour, you should be sleeping in your own room. Why come and disturb Bochang?"
"Moreover, it's inappropriate for a young lady like you to enter another man's room so late at night," March 7th admonished.
Inwardly, Bochang couldn't help but snark, And what about yourself?
"I'm not that little anymore!" Bailu retorted and then turned to look at March 7th, "And you're here too! How can you say anything?"
"Well... this young lady saw Bochang's room light on, got curious, and just came to check," March 7th defended herself.
Bailu and Bochang were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the pink-haired girl emerging from under the bed.
The dragoness, puzzled, asked, "That's strange... why didn't I detect your presence when you entered?"
If March 7th had opened the door normally, Bailu felt certain she would have heard it. The doors of the Divination Commission's guest rooms typically creaked slightly when pushed open.
Unless...
March 7th hadn't used the door.
Quickly explaining, March 7th said, "Who knows... perhaps you two were simply too absorbed in your game."
However, the pink-haired girl didn't use the teleportation ring as an excuse. The reason was simple - using a teleportation ring emits a bright white glow, which is quite noticeable and easily detected.
Moreover, each use of a teleportation ring is highly valued.
They should not be employed unless absolutely necessary.
This explains why...
neither Stelle nor March 7th opted to escape using their rings.
