Chapter 96: No feelings below.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Qiansitelin had a look of lingering satisfaction on her face.

After wiping away the mysterious green liquid from her hands, Qiansitelin gently patted Mu Xuan’s exposed belly.

At that moment, Mu Xuan lay limp on the bed, unable to move.

She was drenched in sweat, and her small, rosy lips continuously exhaled puffs of white vapor.

“It hurts… I can’t feel my legs…”

Mu Xuan murmured unconsciously, her voice tinged with a sob.

‘It hurts so much…’

Faint traces of tears still shimmered on her cheeks.

“It can’t be helped~ Your Highness’s body is too weak. You couldn’t even last this long~”

“Your Highness is no good~”

As soon as Qiansitelin finished speaking, the limp cowlick on Mu Xuan’s head sprang upright with a *snap*, and her small brain instantly cleared.

“I am not ‘no good’! I can still fight!”

Hearing Mu Xuan’s indignant voice, Qiansitelin let out a giggling *pfft*, then poked Mu Xuan’s fair calf with her finger.

“Ah — it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!”

Mu Xuan’s screams instantly rang out.

She forced herself to scoot backward with her hands, staring at Qiansitelin with a resentful gaze.

She had thought the massage would relax her whole body, or perhaps Qiansitelin was just being mischievous.

But Mu Xuan truly didn’t expect that Qiansitelin, seeing how poor her constitution was, actually intended to strengthen it.

Strengthening was fine, but the problem was… it hurt too much!

Looking at the green liquid remaining on the floor, Mu Xuan couldn’t help but shrink back.

It was terrifying…

No one had told her that this kind of potion refined by the Elves would be so painful!

Now her legs were numb and aching; even a slight movement brought a bone-deep sting.

Looking at Qiansitelin’s mischievous smile, Mu Xuan wanted to curse her ancestors for eighteen generations.

‘Is this something a human can actually endure?’

During the massage process, Qiansitelin had even fixed her hands and feet firmly to the bed to prevent her from struggling.

No matter how Mu Xuan begged for mercy, Qiansitelin had no intention of stopping.

The main point was that she had even fainted from the pain twice during the process!!!

‘How embarrassing…’

Seeing that Mu Xuan was ignoring her and huffing with her head turned away, Qiansitelin leaned down and whispered, “There, there, Your Highness. Don’t be angry~ This thing used to be very precious~”

“It is made from the morning dew of the Elven Sacred Tree. It really does have the effect of improving your constitution and promoting the flow of Lightforce~”

Mu Xuan didn’t turn her head, still somewhat upset.

“Even if you say that, why didn’t you tell me in advance…”

The most important thing was that Qiansitelin didn’t care about her feelings at all.

No matter how she begged for mercy, the woman wouldn’t slow down!

Even if it was for her own good, Qiansitelin’s forceful attitude was hard for Mu Xuan to accept.

“I did tell Your Highness in advance… and I clearly told Your Highness that once we started, we couldn’t stop midway…”

“Being tied down was also Your Highness’s idea…”

Qiansitelin’s tone carried a hint of grievance and slight dissatisfaction.

“Wait? Did you say all that?”

“Setting myself up to be fixed in place was my idea too?”

The cowlick on her small head spun wildly as the memories before she fainted slowly became clear.

Recalling what had happened before the massage, Mu Xuan’s face instantly flushed red…

She was the one who had said those words and come up with the idea to fix herself in place.

She turned her head back.

“I’m sorry…”

After thinking about it, Mu Xuan squeezed out those three words.

Her voice was very small, but it made Qiansitelin smile again.

“Pfft~ I’m not blaming Your Highness~”

“It’s just that I didn’t expect Your Highness to faint, even though you clearly said you could endure it~”

Hearing Qiansitelin’s words, Mu Xuan hurriedly covered her ears.

“I’m not listening, I’m not listening! I didn’t faint!”

If her legs hadn’t been completely drained of strength, Mu Xuan’s white and slender legs would have surely kicked around wildly.

Watching Mu Xuan covering her ears and shaking her small head wildly on the bed, Qiansitelin’s smile deepened.

Her little Highness was truly adorable~ She really wanted to eat her up.

“Alright, Your Highness~ Now it’s time to try getting down and walking~”

“Staying still for too long will make your legs stiffen~”

Calculating the time, Qiansitelin spoke.

Logically, she should be able to move barely now, and this was the optimal time to completely absorb the medicinal effects.

Mu Xuan gradually stopped shaking her head.

When she heard Qiansitelin telling her to get out of bed and try walking, she was visibly stunned.

Now!?

Just thinking about that pain made Mu Xuan involuntarily shrink back, not daring to leave the bed.

One could say that after experiencing it once, she never wanted to go through it a second time.

Moreover, her legs were still in a state of painful numbness.

Even a slight movement brought a phantom pain as if she were still being “massaged.”

“Can we wait a bit longer…”

With a pleading tone, Mu Xuan looked at Qiansitelin pitifully.

That rule-breakingly cute appearance made Qiansitelin’s heart soften, but this couldn’t be delayed, or it would leave aftereffects!

To prevent Mu Xuan from hoping for a lucky escape, Qiansitelin’s voice turned cold and clear.

“No, get down right now.”

Qiansitelin’s expression was serious, and her tone brooked no argument.

Knowing Qiansitelin didn’t intend to let her slide, Mu Xuan’s small head, along with her cowlick, drooped powerlessly.

After struggling internally for a long time, Mu Xuan finally plucked up her courage and slowly moved her exposed legs off the bed.

She couldn’t let Qiansitelin mock her again! She could do it!

The moment her soft, tender little feet touched the floor, an unbearable, strange sensation, like an electric current, quickly climbed up her legs and reached her brain.

Instantly, Mu Xuan’s expression shifted through several changes.

She gritted her teeth, trying hard not to let any strange sounds escape.

This single touch made Mu Xuan’s legs so weak she couldn’t stand up!

Seeing Mu Xuan’s predicament, Qiansitelin gently wrapped her arms around Mu Xuan’s waist and lifted her up slightly.

“Your Highness, try it like this~”

Pressing the full weight of her body onto her currently extremely sensitive feet would certainly be unbearable.

Therefore, Qiansitelin held Mu Xuan, sharing the vast majority of her body weight, only allowing Mu Xuan’s fair little feet to lightly touch the ground.

“I can do it…”

Blushing, Mu Xuan’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum.

‘If I told her to let go, she really would!’
