He watched as Xia Zhi slowly lowered his hand towards him.
Baiwen couldn't help but close his eyes.
Then there is no more then.
If she really had to say something, it was that she finally understood why Lady Ningguang made that sound.
Because she couldn't help but make the same sound as herself.
Bai Shicheng has never lied to me.
Massages are so comfortable!
Chapter 248 I Don't Want to Bully People
"Miss Hyakumon."
"Ok?"
"You seem to have some hidden injuries?"
"Mr. Xia sensed it?"
"I found it."
"Because my job is quite special, I often have to deal with people in the shadows, and sometimes I encounter some danger, so I have been injured before."
"I see. This is just what I need to nourish you."
"I heard from Bai Shi that Mr. Xia's essential oil seems to be able to remove scars..."
"That's fine too."
"That's great, oh..."
While chatting with Baiwen, Xia Zhi massaged her with his hands, and could "see" the black iron progress bar on her body rapidly increasing.
Soon, he heard the system notification in his mind.
"Progress bar has reached 100%, Black Iron Treasure Chest reward obtained."
Xia Zhi glanced at the black iron treasure chest in her inventory, continued massaging, and gently applied the essential oil in her hand to the various scars on her body.
Besides the visible scars, she also has some hidden injuries.
The most serious hidden injury was on her back, resembling an arrow wound, very close to her heart.
All of this shows how serious her previous injuries were.
Being a rich woman's secretary may seem like a high-ranking and powerful position, but it's not an easy job.
Miss Baiwen squinted her eyes, feeling very comfortable. She kept biting her lip, trying not to make a sound.
Xia Zhi simply smiled at this.
Most customers experiencing his massage for the first time behave this way, always seeming a bit reserved.
As the number of visits increased, the guests became less hesitant.
Summer massages are usually just normal massages.
Although the [Massage Master] has an additional trait called [Enjoyment], just like the [Culinary Master], he has only used this trait on the Great Tree King and Shenhe.
It wasn't that he was reluctant to let others use it; it was mainly because the effect of this new feature was a bit strange, and it wasn't appropriate for people to use it casually.
The Great Compassion Tree King was able to withstand the pressure because of its high rank.
Although Shen He couldn't quite keep up, she was tired from playing and could finally go to sleep.
"Miss Baiwen, it's all better now."
"is it?"
"Yes, you can go to the bathroom in the back to take a shower. There's hot water boiling in the pot in the kitchen."
“Oh…Mr. Xia…”
Bai Wen called out to Xia Zhi, who had just stopped fighting, his face slightly flushed, and he hesitated to speak.
Xia Zhi was somewhat puzzled.
"Miss Baiwen, is there anything else?"
"Mr. Xia... could you give me some more essential oils? There are a few places I'd like to..."
"of course can."
Xia Zhi nodded, handed the bottle in her hand to Bai Wen, and washed her hands in the basin next to her.
"Then I'll go first."
"Ah."
Bai Wen watched Xia Zhi's departing figure and felt that Mr. Xia was truly understanding.
She looked at the essential oil bottle in her hand and realized that it was quite heavy.
Is this a golden bottle?
Bai Wen paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Bai Shi had said: "Mr. Xia is not short of money."
Using gold bottles to hold essential oils is something only the wealthy can afford.
Baiwen poured out the essential oil, blushed, gently bit her lip, and awkwardly applied it to herself.
Xia Zhi returned to the front hall and "saw" Ning Guang sitting with the Great Compassion Tree King, the two of them chatting very intently.
It's a bit odd to see an older woman nodding repeatedly in front of a little girl, looking like she's being taught a lesson.
This goddess is criticizing me!
Xia Zhi shook his head and told Zhu Zi to go to the kitchen to light a fire and prepare dinner.
By the time Baiwen finished showering, Xia Zhi had almost finished preparing dinner.
At Xia Zhi's urging, Ningguang and Baiwen decided to stay for dinner.
This was the first time Baiwen had ever eaten Xia Zhi's cooking; before this, she had only eaten his instant noodles twice.
After taking a couple of bites of the incredibly delicious food, Baiwen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Both being Ningguang's secretaries, how come Baishi lives such a carefree life?
The benefits of being a personal butler are really good; intelligence gathering and such have no future.
After dinner, Ningguang and Baiwen said their goodbyes and left.
Baiwen's expression was still somewhat absent-minded.
"Baiwen, how are you feeling?"
"Huh? What did you just say, Lady Ningguang?"
"So, how are you feeling right now?"
"Great! My body feels so much lighter!"
"When you get home tonight, remember to tell Baixiao to make proper arrangements for tomorrow, and that she can come with me to get a massage from Mr. Xia."
"Oh well!"
Baiwen hesitated for a moment.
"Lord Ningguang."
"what's up?"
"Mr. Xia's essential oil has a very good nourishing effect on the body. I feel that some of the hidden injuries that had accumulated in my body have improved a lot."
"Okay, I'll take you a couple more times next time..."
"No, I meant Miss Yelan."
"Oh?"
"Although I have suffered some injuries, I am far inferior to Miss Ye Lan. Miss Ye Lan has been walking on the edge of life and death for many years and has suffered countless injuries, not to mention the many hidden injuries in her body... If Mr. Xia could use essential oils to nourish Miss Ye Lan's body, that would be wonderful."
"You're right."
Ning Guang nodded.
"I will take care of this."
"Yes."
--
After Ningguang and Baiwen left, everyone in the shop went out for a walk.
After passing through the bustling streets of Feiyunpo, the Great Compassion Tree King bought a lot of fancy-looking items from the roadside shops.
Xia Zhi could tell that she wasn't really interested in these things; she seemed to simply enjoy the process of bargaining with people.
When they passed by the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, they saw that it was crowded with people, and they could vaguely hear conversations in the noise.
"Can you really make money by participating in this competition?"
