There were about 52 single acupoints throughout the human body, 309 paired points, and 50 extraordinary points, totaling 720 acupoints.

Xiao Ye started from the forehead, massaging the acupoints on the head.

The techniques included rubbing, pressing, tapping, pointing, and kneading.

Once all the body’s acupoints were activated, he then linked them together to form an ancient and unique array, which could draw out the rampaging Rule Power hidden at the microscopic level—that is, in the cells, the depths of the genes, and even the atoms themselves.

Xiao Ye’s hand pressed on Ziran’s smooth, white forehead, gently rubbing and kneading, making it easy to see Ziran’s long, trembling lashes and her beautifully flushed, innocent face.

On her pure face, you could see only shyness and something a little unusual, but nothing that showed any sign of nervousness.

"Sister Ziran, aren’t you nervous?" Xiao Ye asked, surprised.

Ziran opened her beautiful eyes, stared wide-eyed at the stooping Xiao Ye, and laughed, "Why should I be nervous, you’re not going to hurt me."

Actually, in secret, she had looked into it.

There were 720 acupoints in the body, with 108 critical points. Of those, 72 were generally massaged with pressing, rubbing, and kneading techniques that wouldn’t harm the human body. The remaining 36 were deadly points, also known as "death points." But massaging these 36 points wouldn’t usually cause any harm.

For injury to occur, there had to be an accident with unusual force or a dangerous object.

The death points were further divided into four types: Numbness, Dizziness, Minor, and Severe, each with nine points, together making 36 lethal points. In life-and-death struggles, they were used as "kill moves."

So, Xiao Ye’s massage wouldn’t cause her any harm.

Xiao Ye laughed. This was good—it meant he didn’t need to play therapist while massaging her acupoints, which saved him a lot of effort.

When he moved down to the acupoints on her cheeks, Xiao Ye used a rubbing technique, softly massaging a few times.

Her cheeks were so smooth and soft to the touch.

This was Ziran’s first time having her face rubbed by someone, and *she felt a strange sensation rising in her heart.*

One acupoint after another, he awakened and activated them, finishing all the head points before moving on to the limbs.

"Sister Ziran, I’m going to start with your hands. Spread your hands out; I need to massage your palms, the base of your hands, and a few acupoints under your arms," Xiao Ye said seriously.

Ziran gave a surprised yelp, "Under my arms too? I’m ticklish!"

Xiao Ye looked at her fair underarms and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be quick. Three seconds is all I need."

Ziran nodded and spread her arms, making it easier for Xiao Ye to work.

Xiao Ye held her small hand in his big, rough one, then touched her soft palm, using the pointing technique and channeling energy to activate the acupoints.

*That strange feeling in Ziran’s heart only grew stronger—her hand was being touched again.*

After a minute, the acupoints in her palms and the base of her hands were all done.

Xiao Ye’s gaze moved to her underarm, which was very clean and white, not a hair in sight—it looked like Ziran cared a lot about hygiene.

But when his eyes reached her underarm, they unconsciously drifted to the proud pair nearby.

*So perky! Seriously, this was even perkier than Bright Summit!*

"Xiao Ye, be gentle, or I won’t be able to stop laughing," Ziran said, a little nervously.

Xiao Ye tore his gaze away and thought, *Look away, don’t be disrespectful. Sorry.*

"Alright, I’ll do my best," he replied.

Xiao Ye grabbed her arm with one hand and, with the other, used a stabbing motion to press into her soft, pink underarm. There were only three points here that needed activating, so nine presses were enough.

"Hehehe!" Ziran burst out laughing, her body squirming as her arm closed tightly against her side.

Xiao Ye’s eyes went wide—her sudden movement trapped his hand right next to that proud spot.

After a good laugh, Ziran looked at him apologetically and said, "Um! Sorry, I’m super ticklish. My underarm is my weak spot, and if you press too hard, I can’t take it."

"I can try a different way, but before that, could you spread your arm out again?" Xiao Ye’s hand was still right next to the goods.

Ziran suddenly realized, squeaked, her face burning, and quickly stretched her white arms back out.

Xiao Ye reluctantly took his hand away and said, "I’ll try kneading this time, and be as gentle as possible."

Ziran’s face was as red as an apple, her pretty lashes fluttering as she closed her eyes. "Mhm, go ahead, I won’t scream."

Xiao Ye snuck a few more glances at that proud pair, then quickly looked away, focusing on her underarm and kneading it gently while channeling energy.

The first acupoint—activated!

"Hehehe!" Ziran jerked again, pulling her arm tight to her side as she giggled uncontrollably.

Xiao Ye’s hand ended up pressed right alongside that proud spot again and he couldn’t help giving it a light squeeze without thinking.

Ziran was still too busy laughing her head off to notice a thing.

A few seconds later, Ziran, face flushed, said, "Sorry, I just can’t help it, nothing scares me except being tickled."

Xiao Ye tried to pull his hand free, but her arm held him too tightly in place.

"Sister Ziran, relax your arm. That was effective—we’ve finished a third of the process already."

Ziran did as she was told and spread her arm.

Xiao Ye activated the second underarm acupoint, and again Ziran reflexively clamped her arm to her body.

His hand ended up right alongside the pride of her chest again.

Finishing with the third underarm acupoint was the same—Ziran broke into giggles and clamped her arm tight once more.

Xiao Ye accidentally got another handful out of it.

With all three underarm points done and connected, Xiao Ye said, "Alright, now for the other hand."

Ziran squeaked, a little nervous, "The other hand too?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "Yes."

Palm, base of the hand, underarm—he repeated the same procedure.

Out in the doorway, Yun Bing’s face grew darker and darker as she huffed, "That hussy Ziran is obviously just flirting with Xiao Ye! No one’s that ticklish—she’s just letting him cop a feel."

She reached up and scratched her own armpit, giving it a good dig.

"Hahahaha!"

Just like a lunatic, she hunched over and let out a wild laugh.

Xiao Ye and Ziran were left speechless, "What the hell is Xiaobing doing?"

"No idea."

A few seconds later, Yun Bing calmed down, looking a little awkward as she came into the living room, muttering, "Okay, that really is freakin’ ticklish."

"Whatever, out of sight, out of mind. If I don’t watch them doing the massage, I won’t get mad." She decided to stay in the living room until Xiao Ye finished, rather than sneaking back to peek through the bedroom door.

Back in the bedroom, all the acupoints in Ziran’s hands were activated, Xiao Ye said,

"Sister Ziran, next up is your feet, then your legs."

"I bet your feet aren’t ticklish, right?"

Ziran’s eyes went wide, "The soles too? I’m definitely ticklish!"

Xiao Ye looked at her soft, pale, dainty Jade Feet, and just went for it.

Her skin was delicate—not a trace of athlete’s foot, no stink—actually smelled kinda sweet.

The soles had a ton of acupoints—every organ in the body had a corresponding spot on the foot.

Xiao Ye sat on the edge of the bed, placed her Jade Feet on his legs, and said, "I’m starting, Sister Ziran."

He didn’t wait for her to respond, just started pounding on the sole of her foot with practiced force.

"Heeheehee!" Ziran immediately jerked, laughing as her sweet, white foot reflexively shot up—right into Xiao Ye’s mouth.
