"Xiaoyu, you might feel a bit of pain later, but you have to endure it."
Ye Xiaofei expressed his concerns to Ning Xiaoyu before getting started.
Ning Xiaoyu shyly avoided eye contact with Ye Xiaofei and softly replied, "It hurts... I know, but... I'm not afraid. Girls... girls are supposed to experience pain."
Ye Xiaofei was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Ning Xiaoyu's response seemed completely unrelated to what he had just said.
Clearing his throat, Ye Xiaofei continued, "Xiaoyu, in this 'massage and cultivation' technique, I will open up your meridians and activate the true qi in your dan tian. I asked you to undress for the convenience of performing this procedure, but it's not... it's not about... that."
"Oh?" Ning Xiaoyu froze for a moment, then immediately buried her head in the blanket, too embarrassed to face Ye Xiaofei.
He gently patted Ning Xiaoyu's head from outside the blanket and said, "Alright, we're about to start."
