Chapter 5

Listening... unblocking the acupoints...

Although Yue Yuan was familiar with this term, he felt a bit at a loss when it came to himself.

Although it was his first time traveling through time, this did not mean that Yue Yuan had no self-defense capabilities in this world. However, the problem was that his self-defense capabilities were borrowed from external forces, and he himself did not have that ability. Moreover, Yue Yuan was not very familiar with acupoints.

After all, as a former science student, he studied friction and resistance, as well as mathematical shapes. How could he know about acupoints, which are part of traditional Chinese medicine?

Therefore, as a preparation, Yue Yuan bought a clear acupoint chart.

When faced with the goddess's request, how could Yue Yuan, as a man, refuse? However, since it was his first time and he did not know where the acupoints were, he could only awkwardly pull out the acupoint chart from his chest and start looking for the acupoint.

"… The characters are too small, it's hard to see in the dark!"

Almost lying on the ground, Yue Yuan slowly moved the acupoint chart in his hand, starting from the Baihui point on the top of his head and moving downward. The light from the small flashlight in his hand moved with his gaze. While searching, Yue Yuan muttered to himself, "Huh? Where is this acupoint? It shouldn't have changed, right?!"

"…"

In the rose garden, Xiaolongnü lay on the flowers. Due to her posture, she could not see what Yue Yuan was doing, but she could see his back and the flickering light. Moreover, Xiaolongnü could clearly hear Yue Yuan's muttering as he searched for the acupoint.

Just from these few words, Xiaolongnü had already lost hope. She felt that it might take time for the acupoints to unblock themselves. Earlier, she had tried to unblock the acupoints herself, but unfortunately, she was already injured, and the internal strength of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, was far beyond her capabilities, so she failed.

At this moment, in this situation.

Xiaolongnü sighed, feeling that it would be better to wait for Guo'er to come. She was not very worried about the Taoist priest Yue Yuan, who was dressed a bit strangely.

During their earlier eye contact, although the Taoist priest had a look of surprise, his eyes were genuinely pure, without any desire. Just from that brief eye contact, Xiaolongnü had put down her guard. If he had any ill intentions, he would not have lifted the white handkerchief from her face.

In a way, Xiaolongnü was quite grateful for Yue Yuan's actions.

Thus, while Yue Yuan was searching for the acupoint, Xiaolongnü gently gazed at the full moon in the sky.

"Ah!"

A cry of surprise, Yue Yuan was greatly delighted. After several minutes, he finally found the acupoint Xiaolongnü had mentioned, which was on the waist. He folded the chart and put it back in his chest, turned off the flashlight, and put it in his pocket before turning around.

Looking at Xiaolongnü, who had been attracted by his cry, Yue Yuan said seriously, "Miss Longnü, I have not let you down. I have finally found the acupoint. Now, let me unblock it for you!"

"…"

Finally found?

If you didn't know the location, why didn't you ask me directly?

Xiaolongnü's lips twitched, and she really wanted to ask the question in her heart, but after some thought, she suppressed it. Meeting Yue Yuan's expectant gaze, Xiaolongnü pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will trouble you, Taoist Priest Yue!"

"Not at all!"

Yue Yuan's direct response left Xiaolongnü speechless. However, he did not care about the impact of his words and focused entirely on Xiaolongnü.

Meeting Xiaolongnü's gaze, Yue Yuan's lips were tightly pressed together, showing some tension. Taking a deep breath, he raised his right hand, with his index and middle fingers together, and slowly pointed them at Xiaolongnü's waist.

Just as Yue Yuan's fingers were about to touch Xiaolongnü's waist, a sudden angry voice and a gust of wind came.

"That Taoist priest, let go of my aunt!"

Yang Guo, who had returned at some point, saw a Taoist priest in blue and white robes leaning over his aunt, who was lying in the flowers. He immediately became furious, roared, and used his lightness skill to leap toward his aunt, Xiaolongnü.

Whoosh—

Yue Yuan's right hand, which was about to touch Xiaolongnü's waist, suddenly pulled back, and he seemed to be pulled by a rope, jumping backward to avoid Yang Guo's sudden attack.

"…"

Standing up, Yue Yuan looked at Yang Guo, who was now holding Xiaolongnü, with a speechless expression. His eyebrows twitched. The other party's words sounded familiar, like "Let go of that girl, let me do it!"

Yes, that was the feeling.

Indeed, as soon as Yang Guo held his aunt, he immediately unblocked her acupoints and then turned to glare at Yue Yuan. If Xiaolongnü had not held him back, Yang Guo would have attacked immediately.

Indeed, being a good person is not easy!

Sighing helplessly, Yue Yuan stood quietly on the side, watching the two in the flower garden. The night wind blew, and his long hair and clothes fluttered, giving him the appearance of a high Taoist priest.

"Guo'er, don't!"

Xiaolongnü was quite surprised by Yue Yuan's lightness skill. Such a dust-free lightness skill, even the Ancient Tomb Sect, which was skilled in lightness, could not match Yue Yuan's casual avoidance.

Yang Guo, who was worried about her, did not see Yue Yuan's lightness skill, but Xiaolongnü saw it all. Just this lightness skill was enough to make Xiaolongnü think that the person in front of her was quite capable.

"This Taoist priest is our benefactor!"

Pulling Yang Guo, Xiaolongnü recounted the events that had just happened, being a bit vague about certain details. After all, some things cannot be openly told to one's lover.

However, even with some details omitted, Yang Guo understood the course of events. The anger in his eyes toward Yue Yuan disappeared, replaced by regret. Standing up, he first comforted Xiaolongnü and then bowed to Yue Yuan, saying, "Taoist Priest Yue, it was Yang Guo's mistake to misunderstand you. Please do not take offense!" As he spoke, he observed the Taoist priest in the moonlight.

Hearing Yang Guo's apology, Yue Yuan also observed him. Upon seeing him, Yue Yuan could not help but marvel at how Yang Guo had inherited his parents' good genes, with a truly handsome appearance. His eyes also gave Yue Yuan a sense of recklessness.

However, compared to Yang Guo's apology, Yue Yuan had another thought in mind.

From the time Yin Zhiping covered Xiaolongnü's face with a handkerchief to Yang Guo's appearance, it had only been about ten minutes, right?

Seemingly thinking of something, Yue Yuan's gaze shifted from Yang Guo to Yin Zhiping, who was still unconscious nearby. His eyebrows twitched, and he came to a conclusion that frightened him as a man.

Could Yin Zhiping be a quick shooter?!

Yes, it must be so!

Otherwise, how could he have finished in such a short time?

Defining Yin Zhiping as a quick shooter in his mind, Yue Yuan let out a long sigh, thinking that it was fortunate he had chosen to be less beastly earlier. Otherwise, ten minutes would not even be enough for foreplay.

Thinking about this, Yue Yuan turned to meet Yang Guo's gaze, raised his hand, and bowed, saying, "No problem, it's only natural. I don't mind!"

Under the moonlight, the two tall and handsome men met.
