Qin Fen’s left hand paused briefly before Lin Jia’s twin peaks, hesitant to remove that final barrier. Lin Jia’s already hot cheeks flushed even deeper. This moment of almost undoing—his hand hovering near the critical buttons—was far more agonizing than the act of unfastening them.

Faced with this half-cup bra, a deep, tender-pink cleavage leaped into view. Qin Fen’s heartbeat accelerated relentlessly; this was a direct challenge to any man’s self-control.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Fen hardened his resolve and thrust his hand forward. The bra covering half her soft breast slid slowly apart as the clasps parted, revealing a pair of firm, smooth globes before his eyes.

Qin Fen was momentarily stunned. Previously, there had always been a layer of white, damp uniform cloth—though it revealed almost everything, it lacked the visual impact of this moment. Even without the bra’s support, these twin peaks showed no sign of sagging; instead, they curved subtly upward, forming a slight, ascending arc.

Lin Jia bit her lip. Her proudest feature had always been the firmness of her breasts. Others wore bras to prevent drooping; she wore hers to keep these peaks from tilting too high. Now, being stared at so intensely by this man…

“Have you seen enough?” Lin Jia’s cheeks were a blush more vivid than the natural pink of her skin.

Qin Fen looked up, gently rubbing his temples. To see such a beautiful body and regard it as casually as a roadside stone—only a truly enlightened monk, or perhaps a man lacking certain equipment, could manage that, right?

“My apologies.” Qin Fen murmured, pushing lightly against Lin Jia’s alabaster shoulders, guiding her down onto the bed. His hand immediately reached for the waistband of Lin Jia’s trousers…

A lone man and woman. Alone in a room.

The man reached for the woman’s waistband. Lin Jia tensed, nearly crying out. She tried to tighten every muscle, only to find that due to the qi deviation, her body’s muscles were completely unresponsive.

Snap…

The buckle of Lin Jia’s military trousers was released. Qin Fen flicked his wrist, and the belt, which perfectly sculpted her waist into a serpentine shape, flew out from her side, snapping sharply in the air.

Then, Qin Fen’s face grew redder, yet his hands did not pause for a moment.

Lin Jia’s injury could not wait a second longer. He bent down, sliding his hand behind her lower back. An intensely intimate embrace formed between them. Qin Fen’s aroused nerves could even feel the points of Lin Jia’s breasts pressing against his own chest.

Lin Jia squeezed her eyes shut. Qin Fen’s right arm was injured, leaving only his left arm to bear the necessary force. Removing pants would be easier this way, as he couldn't swiftly pull them down from both sides like he could with two hands.

To remove the trousers as quickly as possible, he had to use one hand behind her back to pull the fabric covering her hips downward.

One hand naturally meant unavoidable friction and contact.

Qin Fen’s palm slid across her hips, his hand nearly encompassing and stroking her entire backside.

“Mmm…”

Lin Jia’s spirit trembled slightly. The memory of Qin Fen treating her by the sea resurfaced from the depths of her mind. She felt that Qin Fen’s actions now were decisive, utterly without hesitation, and entirely devoid of any opportunistic intent. Even the final defense of her most secretive area dissolved under Qin Fen’s hands in a mere moment.

With the last barrier removed, a fine sweat beaded on Qin Fen’s brow. Her jade body lay exposed before a virile man, radiating an ineffable sensuality.

Lin Jia wanted to move her long, smooth legs to cover and shield her mortifying exposure, but she possessed not an ounce of strength.

Qin Fen forced himself to steady his mind and took hold of Lin Jia’s fair, delicate foot.

The moment his hand grasped her foot, a thought flashed through Qin Fen’s mind: So smooth.

Lin Jia’s eyelids fluttered repeatedly. A man’s head and a woman’s feet were not places meant for casual touching. Since childhood, her feet had never been touched by anyone, and now, one of his hands held hers entirely. A strange, tingling sensation, even more potent than the heat coursing within her, shot up her spine straight to the back of her skull.

Qin Fen let out a long breath. His five fingers rapidly pressed every inch of skin on Lin Jia’s sole. The woman’s internal zhenqi was churning chaotically, severely affecting even her muscles. If he merely stabilized the zhenqi inside her, this woman might end up permanently paralyzed in half her body.

Treatment completed, only to leave her disabled? Qin Fen refused to perform such useless labor. If he was going to save her, he would save a whole person!

Foot, calf, knee…

Lin Jia screamed internally. What was Qin Fen doing? Was he going to massage his way up like this? Wouldn't that mean he would touch her completely bare?

“To be honest, I really don't want to do this,” Qin Fen said, his hand already massaging past her knee. “If I don’t loosen these muscles first, even if I resolve your qi deviation, you’ll likely suffer from hemiplegia. If someone else could massage you with the precise level of force required, I would gladly let them do it. If you think your people can control the intensity to my degree, I can let them take over.”

Lin Jia kept her eyes tightly shut. Among the new recruits, who could match the force control mastery of Qin Fen, currently hailed as the foremost among them? What was the difference between saying that and saying nothing at all? What was… what was his hand touching now?

Lin Jia could no longer keep her eyes shut. Her beautiful eyes were clouded with mist, a multitude of complex emotions flickering within them. She had to watch—to watch the man who was touching her entire body.

The beads of sweat on Qin Fen’s brow gradually grew the size of mung beans. Treating someone in this manner was the ultimate test of a man’s restraint. His hand had now reached Lin Jia’s lower abdomen.

If he could avoid this area, Qin Fen truly would not linger here. However, if he skipped this spot, Lin Jia might avoid paralysis, but she could face infertility in the future.

A string of electric numbness shot through Lin Jia’s spine. Her crimson cheeks deepened in color. She could no longer stare at Qin Fen and quickly squeezed her eyes shut.

Qin Fen sighed. This woman was simply too alluring. He hadn't even touched her most concealed part, yet…

At this moment, Qin Fen suddenly realized that possessing an extremely sensitive sense of smell was not entirely a blessing. If his olfactory senses weren't so sharp, perhaps he could avoid this most awkward situation.

Perhaps due to the intense stimulus, or perhaps recalling the scene from their treatment by the sea, Qin Fen’s hands moved away from that vicinity to massage Lin Jia’s arms, yet he could still feel Lin Jia’s body becoming increasingly aroused. Her physical reactions were growing more pronounced. Though her lips were sealed, the moans caught in her throat could not be entirely suppressed.

In the small room, a stunningly beautiful woman, her body exhibiting obvious physical responses, letting out soft groans that were almost seductive—Qin Fen felt he was going mad!

Crucially, Qin Fen realized he, too, was experiencing a physical reaction! If a man had no reaction at all, he wouldn't be a man.

“Oh… Mmm…”

Qin Fen’s palm landed upon one of Lin Jia’s breasts! The electric current not only traveled down Lin Jia’s spine but also surged through Qin Fen’s palm.

Good heavens! Qin Fen roared internally, this was too intoxicating! Why were the mammary glands located here?

Lin Jia could no longer control herself. The qi deviation had already made her body intensely hot, and this inner agitation had long since ignited her sexual fire. Stimulated by Qin Fen’s hand, the fire finally found a volcanic vent and erupted completely.

The zhenqi raced inside her, shaking her mental state until she became completely hazy. She was utterly immersed in this sensual treatment, ceasing to suppress the faint moans in her throat, instead letting out open cries.

For days, Lin Jia’s spirit had been repressed. The arrival of the qi deviation had unlocked what had always been constrained within her.

With the last defense gone, Lin Jia moaned with every press of Qin Fen’s massage, each gasp like a siren’s spell impacting Qin Fen’s mind.

In the small room, the beauty was covered in sweat, her breath coming in continuous cries of passion. Qin Fen began to admire himself for nearly reaching the legendary state of a sage; he hadn't collapsed even under this condition.

“This is truly a good place for practice,” Qin Fen murmured with a touch of self-mockery, glancing at the area where he was experiencing a severe physical response. “It’s fine; in such a sensual setting, using the treatment as a basis to practice my force control—this is the best environment.”

After massaging the front, Qin Fen flicked his wrist, and Lin Jia turned onto her stomach to receive the massage for her back.

After a series of massages, Qin Fen’s military uniform was already drenched. Lin Jia’s body was slick not only with sweat but also with the scent of her physical reaction.

“Next is the zhenqi adjustment,” Qin Fen shook his head with a wry smile. “You are truly lucky. If my slight vibrational control issues had surfaced any earlier, even if I cured you, I would have been exhausted to death.”

The zhenqi of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique entered Lin Jia’s body as Qin Fen composed himself.

The most rudimentary internal zhenqi vibration was simpler than external vibration. Inputting zhenqi into another person to create a vibration was slightly more difficult than the initial internal vibration technique, but simpler than the external primary vibration.

Suspended between the two, Qin Fen wondered if Lin Jia had intentionally suffered qi deviation to help him practice the zhenqi vibration. This practice in force control would perfectly compensate for his lack of experience in external emission vibration.

With the aid of vibration, coupled with the modified Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the healing accelerated rapidly.

“Done!”

Qin Fen opened his eyes. With one hand, he quickly dressed the still-hazy Lin Jia. He pushed the door open, using the clothing to shield a certain part of his body, ignored the gazes of the other female soldiers, and sprinted out.
