Xie Zhinuan really didn’t take this matter seriously, as her clothes were already unbuttoned beforehand.
After sitting down cross-legged, she pulled open her collar quickly.
Li Hengyi sat behind her and, seeing her slender and beautiful back, his eyes seemed to catch fire.
Seeing him not moving for a long time, Xie Zhinuan turned her head, puzzled, and asked, “Have we started?”
“Ah, right!”
Li Hengyi snapped back to reality, channeling his Inner Strength into his palm and gently placing it on Xie Zhinuan’s back.
His mind was filled with amorous thoughts, but he dared not delve deeper.
He focused on guiding Xie Zhinuan.
But just after one round, Li Hengyi was shocked.
Inside Xie Zhinuan, her Inner Strength surpassed his by a lot. If it came to a contest of Inner Strength, and if Xie Zhinuan knew how to make her move, it would result in either death or injury for anyone competing against her.
“…”
A whirlwind of thoughts surged in Li Hengyi’s mind.
Before, Xie Zhinuan clearly knew no Martial Arts and had no Inner Strength. What exactly had that mute servant done to her? And how had she managed to accumulate such profound Inner Strength?
After one round.
Xie Zhinuan started to get the hang of it.

When Li Hengyi withdrew his hand and sat down, she adjusted her breath by extending her hands, and as she pulled on her clothes, she slowly channeled her Inner Strength in the direction Li Hengyi had taught her earlier.She was practicing intently, never giving a thought to Li Hengyi sitting behind her, to the awkwardness of whether to stay or go.
And to the joy she carefully concealed.
After such a round, Xie Zhinuan felt that although she hadn’t grasped the key technique, she should at least know the basics of channeling Inner Strength.
She exhaled softly.
Only then did Xie Zhinuan get off the kang.
Seeing that Li Hengyi was still there, she asked in bewilderment, “Why haven’t you left?”
“…”
Li Hengyi felt as if a knife had pierced his heart.
Especially since the speaker had no intent.
He took a deep breath before saying, “It’s your first time channeling Inner Strength, I was worried you might not know how!”
“Oh, I see, it’s what they call the protector in the legends!” Xie Zhinuan said earnestly.
“…”
Li Hengyi pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and nodded, “That’s right, exactly!”
What else could he do? Could he admit he had impure thoughts, that he was fixated on her back, that his mind was filled with thoughts that shouldn’t be entertained?
If he truly admitted that, Xie Zhinuan would tear him to shreds.
“Thank you!” said Xie Zhinuan.
She spoke earnestly, sincerely.
Li Hengyi felt even more embarrassed, shaking his head repeatedly, “No, it’s nothing, I’ll go back to my room. You should rest as well!”
“Alright!” Xie Zhinuan responded.
She watched Li Hengyi leave the room, feeling ecstatic.
She knew that there was a huge difference between having practiced Martial Arts and not, and the difference was substantial.
After tidying up the kang, she called her three pets into the room, secured the doors and windows, and then went into her space alone.
After swimming a few laps in the lake, she could distinctly feel something emerging from her skin and being cleansed by the water, as well as something entering her body, making the heat in her chest intensify.
Her body felt hot, and her skin cool; she started to regulate her breathing and circulate the Inner Strength within her body as Li Hengyi had taught her, clearly sensing the changes within her body, the heat at her chest gradually intensifying.
It seemed as if it was about to shoot through her limbs, yet it also seemed as if just a little bit was missing, and eventually, it quietly subsided.
When she climbed ashore, her whole body was drained.
Dragging her heavy body to the edge of the Spiritual Spring, she scooped up some Spiritual Spring Water with a jade bowl and drank it down with big gulps. After drinking, Xie Zhinuan regulated her breath again.
This time, the barrier she couldn’t cross before suddenly became surmountable.
The whole person instantly became alert, and she could even hear the snoring of her three pets, a sensation she had never experienced before.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan didn’t know just how powerful her Inner Strength was at that moment, but she was very clear that from now on, she must conceal her abilities and, unless absolutely necessary, she must not use her full strength recklessly.
