Chapter 80: Miss, relax and let me in; Meng’er knows, sir, please come in.

“It’s fine, Young Master He. If you want to do it, go ahead without worry.”

Having thought everything through, Zi Menghan’s heart finally stopped resisting.

She carefully removed her robe, revealing half of her jade-white shoulder and flawless back.

Her body trembled slightly in shyness from the young man’s gaze.

Beside her, He Qiu’s mouth twitched.

He felt that Miss Meng’er had misunderstood him again, but he kept quiet for now.

After all, the Anti-Demon Curse did require skin contact to be more effective.

He had been wondering how to convince Miss Meng’er to take off her top a little without seeming like a beast in human clothing.

But now, she had already exposed half her fragrant shoulder on her own.

Was this what they called reading the room?

Miss Meng’er was truly considerate…

He loved it.

“Alright, sit up straight and face away from me. I’ll start the technique right away.”

Since Miss Meng’er was being so cooperative, He Qiu, as a grown man, couldn’t keep hesitating.

He rolled up his sleeves, took two deep breaths, and put on an air of tackling an important task.

In front, Zi Menghan’s heart trembled again.

With half her back and shoulders exposed, she couldn’t help but feel shy.

Although there was nothing sensitive on her back besides a stretch of snow-white skin, being stared at so seriously by He Qiu made her extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like she was a pure white rabbit, and behind her was a hungry wolf licking its lips…

Shaking her head, Zi Menghan decided not to dwell on it.

She had already made up her mind.

If Young Master He insisted on doing this, she had no complaints and no longer felt humiliated.

If he really just wanted to possess her, then she would willingly satisfy him tonight.

That would calm his uneasy heart and let him know she wouldn’t defy him anymore, so he wouldn’t bully her again.

This was the decision Zi Menghan had made following her own heart.

Even if something really happened and she regretted it later, she would still have a clear conscience.

She would just consider it her bad luck for misjudging someone.

‘I hope Young Master He isn’t too rough…’

The girl took a light breath, mentally prepared.

Whoosh!

Behind her, powerful Spiritual Energy began to surge and gather.

Zi Menghan knew He Qiu had started the technique.

Next, the Spirit Art imprint would be branded onto her at any moment.

Once the curse was inscribed, her fate would be rewritten in ways she couldn’t predict.

Maybe she would become unable to leave him for the rest of her life…

Still, Zi Menghan believed that Young Master He wouldn’t use a slave mark like those found in third-rate novels.

He was a gentle person and wouldn’t resort to such despicable means.

And that trust was the key reason Zi Menghan finally let down her guard and entrusted herself to He Qiu.

“Here it comes.”

The young man gritted his teeth and murmured, then raised his hand to form a spell.

After some adjustment, he finally pushed the Spirit Art imprint from his palm.

“Mmn…”

A somewhat cold palm made contact with the girl’s back.

Following that, gentle and peaceful Spiritual Energy flowed like a warm current through the hand contact, slowly being infused into Zi Menghan’s body.

Zi Menghan could feel that her Spirit Veins, which had been corroded by the Poison Injury, were gradually being moistened by the Spiritual Energy He Qiu was infusing.

At the same time, vast amounts of Spiritual Energy passed through her skin, injected into her meridians, flowed through her bloodstream throughout her body, and finally converged at the Spiritual Spring in her lower abdomen, silently forming a subtle and complex imprint.

‘Could this be the lewd mark from novels…?’

Although the location was indeed in her lower abdomen, Zi Menghan didn’t feel hot all over, nor any pain or resistance.

So she dismissed that speculation.

Plop!

Another turn of the palm.

He Qiu withdrew his arm, re-channeled a new layer of Spirit Art, and pushed it into the girl’s body again.

This time, Zi Menghan didn’t sense much Spiritual Energy being infused into her.

Instead, she felt her body grow warmer.

The strange imprint at the Spiritual Spring in her lower abdomen began to activate.

It was like she had an extra little stove inside her, and bathing in this warmth, she couldn’t help but breathe a little faster.

It wasn’t uncomfortable—rather, it was enjoyable…

The first time, powerful Spiritual Energy was injected into her body, forming a preliminary imprint in her abdomen.

This time, the Spiritual Energy inside her was activated, and the imprint began to operate.

Her entire spiritual power was stimulated, eventually circulating through her blood and heart, spreading throughout her body and forming a self-circulating loop.

‘What a marvelous Spirit Art…’

Zi Menghan silently sighed in her heart.

After a long while, the Spiritual Energy had circulated throughout her body, and the Spirit Art was nearly at its final stage.

During this time, although Zi Menghan kept enduring the heat in her chest, she couldn’t avoid breathing quickly and occasionally letting out a few moans.

“Mmn…”

The girl suppressed the moist feeling inside, her cheeks slightly flushed, her beautiful eyes tightly shut.

‘It feels too good, like getting a full-body massage spa. I couldn’t help but gasp. It’s not that I want to imply anything. I hope Young Master He doesn’t misunderstand…’

Of course, the young man didn’t misunderstand.

During his focused cultivation, He Qiu hadn’t heard Zi Menghan’s gasps at all.

He was completely absorbed in the technique of channeling Spiritual Energy.

This was a precious hands-on practice.

He Qiu had to remember every detail and insight from each step of the process.

He had no time to misinterpret Meng’er’s panting.

“Miss Meng’er, relax your mind. Don’t be too nervous.”

He Qiu noticed that the Spiritual Energy flow inside Zi Menghan was a bit chaotic.

He thought she was just scared since it was her first time receiving the technique, so he tried to soothe her.

But he didn’t know that her emotional turmoil was because she was too shy…

Being comforted so gently by He Qiu only made Zi Menghan even more nervous.

This strange feeling was like the first time entering the bridal chamber, with the groom telling the bride not to be too tense, or else he couldn’t find the opening.

In fact, if she were too tense, it would indeed be hard for him to find the opening—of course, don’t overthink it.

Here, the “opening” refers to the entrance of the Spiritual Spring and Spirit Veins.

If He Qiu wanted to perfectly inscribe the [Anti-Demon Curse] onto Zi Menghan, he had to infuse his Spiritual Energy into the subject’s Spirit Veins.

If the spring opening closed due to the subject’s tension, his Spirit Art would fail halfway.

So he genuinely hoped she wouldn’t mess things up and would stay relaxed.

“Meng’er, really, don’t be nervous. Loosen up…”

“Trust me, I’ll be very gentle…”

This time, He Qiu directly called Zi Menghan by her nickname, without adding “guniang.”

He was being very gentle.

Don’t ask—if you ask, he just couldn’t bear to waste the precious Spirit Art process.

That was why he leaned slightly closer, patiently urging her in her ear, his tone soft and calming.

He truly just wanted to experiment with the Spirit Art.

He had no other intention.

But these words were inevitably suggestive to Zi Menghan.

It was hard for her not to think dirty!

Alright, Zi Menghan admitted that she was the one with the impure mind.

She was a bad girl with unclean thoughts…

As a fellow cultivator, she naturally knew that He Qiu’s “loosen up” referred to something else, but she still thought wrong.

She was guilty—getting distracted and thinking wild thoughts during such serious business.

She felt ashamed, truly sorry to Young Master He, who was earnestly performing the Spirit Art.

Reining in her shaken emotions, Zi Menghan gradually adapted to He Qiu’s Spirit Art.

She took a deep breath to calm her heart, then let out a small exhale.

In a shy, soul-stirring tone, she spoke:

“Young Master, rest assured. Meng’er has made up her mind and won’t be nervous anymore. Please, feel free to enter this girl’s body~”

He Qiu: ?
