Chapter 104: Chapter 103: Another Attack

"Senior Sister, how do you feel?" Lin Tian asked while administering the acupuncture, as his vision allowed him to see that within Zi Yan’s body, her blood and qi were lively and flowing smoothly due to the stimulation of the needles, converging toward her lower abdomen, dispelling the accumulated coldness there and providing a warming and nourishing effect.

She indulged in that marvelous sensation and genuinely praised, "Mmm, it feels very good. Junior Brother Lin, you should just stay here and work for me, I’ll hire you with a high salary."

"Hehe, I’m still a student, I have college entrance exams to take. I can’t handle the work here, and if my reputation gets out, there may be more and more people coming for treatment. Then, I won’t have any time for classes," Lin Tian hastily refused, jokingly adding that an occasional session was fine, but giving massages and acupuncture every day would be worse than death.

Zi Yan didn’t press the matter, knowing that someone like Lin Tian couldn’t be tamed. She had only mentioned it offhandedly. She said, "Since that’s the case, you’ll have to teach me until I master it, otherwise, I, your senior sister, would be at a great loss."

"Hehe, Senior Sister, learning the Nine Needle Technique depends on natural talent. How much you learn is up to you. I spent a long time learning this set of secret techniques when I was young. Next, I’m going to massage the abdomen, so watch closely," Lin Tian laughed mischievously.

Zi Yan gave him a sidelong glance and huffed, "Be serious, and don’t think about taking advantage of your senior sister, or you’ll regret it!"

What advantage could I possibly take of you? Xiao Manxue is right outside. One shout, and she’d know everything. If touching your abdomen is considered taking advantage, hasn’t your abdomen also touched my hand? We’re even, Lin Tian thought disgruntledly.

He removed Zi Yan’s hands from her abdomen, lifted the hem of her clothes, and exposed the Shenque Acupoint and the Qi Sea Acupoint among others.

First, he rubbed his palms together until they were warm. Lin Tian then placed his palms over her acupoints and began to knead, focusing on Tianshu, Guan Yuan, and Qi Sea points, pressing and massaging with varying degrees of pressure and speed.

At his touch on her abdomen, Zi Yan’s body tensed and went rigid, her face flushing with color. As Lin Tian’s massage sped up, she slowly started to relax, her eyes intently following the movements of Lin Tian’s hands.

It was fortunate she had propped her head up with a high pillow when lying down, or else her body’s curves would have surely blocked her view.

The massage lasted for half an hour, with Zi Yan lightly biting her red lips the entire time, suppressing the relaxation of her body to prevent making any sounds. When Lin Tian finished and withdrew the needles, through his vision, he saw that the stagnant cold qi in Zi Yan’s abdomen was mostly dispersed.

The rest would be manageable for Zi Yan as long as she took care of herself, considering her massage and acupuncture skills.

"There’s nothing major left to worry about. How much did you understand just now?" Lin Tian asked while he was packing up his things.

"Maybe around 30 to 40 percent," Zi Yan got off the bed, straightened up her clothes, and put on her stockings, saying somewhat uncertainly and with a hint of embarrassment.

"Thirty to forty percent is already pretty good. How about giving me this set of Ancient Nine Needles as a gift?" Lin Tian finished packing the needle box, finding himself fond of these acupuncture needles.

"If you like them, take them. No need to be polite with your senior sister! The hard wooden box is not easy to carry, I’ll give you a special fabric pouch later." Zi Yan waved her hand generously, then added, "Come visit your senior sister when you’re free. You haven’t finished teaching me your technique, you owe me that, remember."

"Sure, Senior Sister is a great beauty, I’ll definitely come to see you when I’m free." Lin Tian was pleased with having learned the Nine Needle Technique and was amenable to everything else.

"Stop babbling, just go, your Miss is getting anxious. If you don’t come out soon, she might think we’re up to something!" Zi Yan glanced at him coquettishly before walking out.

Xiao Manxue really was anxious, as the two had been inside for more than an hour. Seeing Zi Yan’s flushed face, she couldn’t help but cast a suspicious look at Lin Tian.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t lay a finger on your little fresh meat. I’m returning him to you exactly as he was," Zi Yan teased.

"You can do what you want with him, it’s none of my business! I’m leaving, don’t want to interrupt whatever you two are doing," Xiao Manxue’s pretty face reddened as she quickly made her defense and turned to leave for real.

These two women were so fierce, actually speaking so explicitly in public. Lin Tian shook his head, lamenting that he couldn’t keep up with the times.

He had Zi Yan change into the cloth bag and hurried out; he certainly didn’t want to have another mad dash in the street. Fortunately, Xiao Manxue was waiting for him in the car, and she didn’t start driving until Lin Tian was seated.

The two of them didn’t speak along the way, Xiao Manxue driving in silence, seemingly deep in thought. When the car entered a less populated straightaway, Lin Tian furrowed his brows slightly, feeling some discomfort.

Suddenly, this discomfort magnified instantaneously, as if danger was looming.

His insight spread out in an instant, monitoring the maximum range.

Not good! Lin Tian quickly reached out to grab the steering wheel from Xiao Manxue, and the car swerved sharply to the right. Then a muffled "bang" sounded, as dust splashed up a dozen centimeters away from the left tire.

"Gunshot! And a sniper, at that!" Xiao Manxue steadied the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

"Exactly." Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice. It was right not to accelerate and flee, as a tire blown out by a sniper at high speed could send the car flipping to who knows where.

While the car was bulletproof, tires weren’t resistant to gunfire. And judging by the position of the bullet shot, Lin Tian guessed that the attacker wanted to blow out the tire.

"Ring, ring, ring..." Xiao Manxue’s cell phone suddenly rang, and she took it out to see it was an unknown number. The situation felt strange; they had just been shot at and now an unfamiliar call was coming in.

"Hello, who is this?" Xiao Manxue glanced at Lin Tian, answered the call, and switched to speakerphone so he could also hear.

"Don’t worry about who I am. Have the man next to you get out of the car and walk into the woods on the left, then you drive away. This isn’t your concern," a deep voice commanded.

"And what if I say no?" Xiao Manxue asked coolly.

"Go ahead and try. I know you two are tough, but we’re not alone. How many bullets can you dodge?"

"Beep, beep, beep..." The other party hung up after speaking.

Oddly enough, they weren’t targeting Xiao Manxue but were after me. Lin Tian couldn’t fathom who would go to such lengths and orchestrate such an elaborate setup to enlist people.

I’ll just have to meet with you! It had been a while since he’d had a fight, and Lin Tian almost forgot he was a zombie.

"Don’t go down!" Xiao Manxue grabbed Lin Tian as he reached for the car door.

"Don’t worry, they can’t trouble me. Stay in the car and don’t come out. I’d be heartbroken if you were hurt by a bullet," Lin Tian said, holding her hand and looking intently into her eyes. Although she could walk away without fear of the sniper, Lin Tian didn’t want to take the risk.

Xiao Manxue’s face flushed red, seeing endless confidence in Lin Tian’s eyes—a disdain for any enemy that strangely made her believe he could do as he said.

Lin Tian pushed open the car door and walked alone toward the small grove beside the road.
