Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 24

Qin Wanyuan was surprised to find that an acupoint at the sole of her foot had actually opened.

It is known that the number of acupoints in the cultivation world is predetermined by nature and is nearly impossible to change later. Although there are rumors that in ancient times there were methods to open acupoints postnatally, those remain mere rumors and have not been verified.

Her innate acupoint count was forty-two, already a top-tier talent, and her cultivation speed far surpassed that of the vast majority of cultivators in the sect. If one were to account for a newly opened acupoint, she would be able to ascend to an even higher level.

For a moment, Qin Wanyuan even thought she was dreaming.

However, the burning sensation that surged from her feet told her that this was not a dream, but reality.

‘Was it… done by Lin Lang?’

She certainly didn’t believe that the system’s foot-soaking prescription or the enhancement of her physique could achieve such an exaggerated effect; the only explanation could be Lin Que’s earlier ‘massage.’

This was something Qin Wanyuan had not experienced in her previous life, which meant this change had occurred only after her rebirth.

【Does the host know about the butterfly effect?】

“What is that?”

【To explain it in terms you can understand, it means that a small change can trigger a huge causal chain, even… altering a predetermined fate.】

Upon hearing the system’s explanation, Qin Wanyuan furrowed her brows. She understood the system’s words; it was precisely because she had been following the system’s tasks during this time that Lin Que had made different choices than in her past life.

The mysterious beast eggs in the demon beast mountains, the techniques Lin Que obtained that could open acupoints postnatally, and his past…

“I know this is just your way of encouraging me to continue with my tasks, but… I also understand what is truly important.”

Qin Wanyuan lowered her gaze.

What was most important would always be Lin Que’s safety and the happiness of this little family that included her, Lin Que, and Qin Qian’er.

She would never allow this little family to be shattered like in her previous life during the invasion of the evil cultivators, nor would she let history repeat itself like the fire in the Qin family’s backyard.

“Even if it means Lin Lang has to pursue other women, as long as I am here, this family will not fall apart!”

Qin Wanyuan said firmly, her gaze resolute.

【….】

The system did not respond, leaving her uncertain whether it was on standby or had other thoughts.

………

In the moonlit courtyard, Lin Que stood by the well, washing his hands with a basin of well water, then switching to a basin of cold water to wash his face, trying to calm himself down.

The desire gradually faded as the Clear Heart Technique operated, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.

“As expected, Wanyuan’s acupoints opened very smoothly.”

During this time, he had already mastered the content of the technique fragments provided by the little demon, and through the catalog, he learned that this technique was divided into four main sections according to the eight extraordinary meridians, with four meridians starting from the feet. It could be said that the majority of acupoint openings were related to the feet.

If applied to himself, it would be convenient; he just needed to use his spiritual essence to run through the meridians and impact the acupoints. However, to help others open their acupoints, he had to do it as he did earlier—through direct contact, using his own spiritual essence to assist her in impacting the acupoints.

Overall, it was quite labor-intensive, and since it was Lin Que’s first time operating it, he was fully focused to prevent any errors.

Fortunately, the result was ideal; Qin Wanyuan successfully opened her acupoints, and her future cultivation would be smoother.

“Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect you to be such a gentleman. Just now, your partner was gasping for breath, and you were still able to keep your eyes on her without being distracted.”

Unbeknownst to him, the little demon had appeared on his shoulder again, leisurely swinging her long legs wrapped in black silk.

It seemed Lin Que’s shoulder had become her fixed refresh point.

“….”

Lin Que certainly wouldn’t engage.

“Hey, I’ve got it! Since you’ve obtained such a good thing, you can’t be stingy, right? Look at your former partner, your little sister-in-law, and that esteemed teacher of yours; they all have unawakened acupoints. Helping them out would be quite wonderful, wouldn’t it? Such a grand favor, even if they offered themselves to you for a night of passion, it wouldn’t be too much~”

The little demoness said with a smile, vividly describing such a scene.

“How about this? I’ll give you another fragment, guaranteed to be thrilling, all about the key acupoint locations. Then you can use the excuse of helping them awaken their acupoints to have them obediently strip down for your viewing pleasure. Not only that, since you’re using external force to impact the acupoints, some intimate physical contact would also be quite reasonable.”

“By then, even if you accidentally touch the inner thigh, or perhaps brush against some forbidden areas, it would all be within reason. Moreover, you saw how that little girl was all flustered earlier, right? Although the others might not be as sensitive as her, trust me, as long as you make a slight move and tease them a bit, I guarantee you can easily win over the icy senior sister, the proud little sister-in-law, or even that highly respected master~”

Facing the little demoness’s relentless persuasion, Lin Que’s expression didn’t change much.

“Cut it out.”

Lin Que waved his hand. He was already used to the little demoness’s flowery words; she could ramble on as much as she liked, but if it came to practice, he would consider it a loss.

“By the way, is that egg the thing you wanted me to bring back?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Seeing Lin Que deliberately change the subject, the little demoness didn’t dwell on those risqué suggestions but smoothly continued, “That egg is a good thing! If you add a few herbs and make a soup, it can nourish yin and supplement yang, strengthening oneself~”

“Can you say something serious?”

While chatting with the little demoness, Lin Que didn’t idle; he was drawing water from the well to fill the bath and heat it.

For cultivators, such manual tasks were quite convenient. With a flick of his fingers, the well water transformed into a water dragon leaping from the well, directly pouring into the bath, and then boiling itself.

“What I said is very serious! That’s its nutritional effect. However, the eggshell is a bit hard; even you might not be able to break it without using eighty percent of your strength.”

The little demoness inadvertently revealed a key piece of information.

“So that’s why those beasts are using refining formations to try to refine that egg?” Lin Que frowned in thought.

Now, he was indeed more curious about what would hatch from that egg.

Lin Que wanted to ask the little demoness what the egg’s essence was, but she shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t confirm what was inside until it hatched.

Related to fire and being an oviparous creature, could it be a divine beast like a phoenix or a vermilion bird?

He thought unconsciously, and the water was ready.

Calling Qin Wanyuan to bathe, Lin Que noticed that the bedding and pillowcases in the room had been changed, and Qin Wanyuan had also put on a new plain dress.

Lin Que didn’t ask further.

It was necessary to give one’s partner a certain degree of privacy, just as Qin Wanyuan tacitly didn’t inquire about the massage technique he used to awaken acupoints.

In this regard, although the two didn’t speak about it and had no direct communication, they both understood each other perfectly.
