Chapter 1512: Big Red Packets?
With such a clear warning, Jiangnan certainly wasn't going to try it on himself!
The battle was imminent, so it was better to test the power first, figure out the effects and side effects!
With a teleport, Jiangnan appeared directly in Da Lang Mie's room!
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhong Yingxue also there. The two were sitting at the table, each holding a thick notebook!
▒✍(･᷅～･᷄๐)
The notebooks recorded all the team members' combat habits, skills, and every bit of information!
Right now, Zhong Yingxue was developing and explaining new tactics and coordination in her little notebook, even drawing a few cute little figures with red pen!
She looked completely serious!
Meanwhile, Da Lang Mie was biting the cap of her pen, tilting her head in deep thought, constantly jotting down notes!
▒⋌(•︠～•︡๐)
Jiangnan's expression instantly softened!
(◞‸◟) "I'm too much of a scumbag!"
The two were startled. Da Lang Mie was stunned!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Little Nan? Why are you here?"
Zhong Yingxue: (๐ὅ◡ὅ) "Done with the pre-battle preparations?"
Jiangnan covered his little face, looking ashamed!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) "You two are working so hard, and I was actually planning to experiment on you! I'm not a good person!"
"I'll go find Wu Liang instead. He can take more abuse!"
Wu Liang: ꉂꉂ(˃᷄ε˂᷅๑) Ah cha~???
Xia Yao's eyes lit up, and her wolf ears immediately perked!
(O╹ꇴ╹) "What what? Got a new toy again? Let me try, I want to try!"
Saying that, she wolf-jumped over, shaking Jiangnan's arm coquettishly!
The previous Word Spirit gum was really good, right?
Jiangnan swallowed: (͡°﹏͡°) "Are you sure? I don't even know what the side effects are yet?"
Xia Yao hesitated for a moment, then became resolute!
(๑•̀◠•́)و "Last time, the rabbit biscuits were all eaten by Xuexue, so I want to try one too. It's probably something like becoming timid, right? No fear, doesn't matter!"
" If... if something really goes wrong, you'll be responsible anyway!"
Jiangnan was stunned. Da Lang Mie was this brave? Actually volunteering to test a new product?
Zhong Yingxue also asked curiously!
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "What new toy? Is it food?"
Jiangnan shyly scratched his head!
୧(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "Actually, I learned another new trick, so I need to do some fire cupping?"
Xia Yao's eyes got even brighter!
(︶◡︶✽) "Why didn't you say so earlier! It's probably like foot massage, that kind of pleasurable thing, right?"
"Hurry up!"
As she spoke, she grabbed the hem of her short-sleeved shirt and whipped it off in one motion, revealing a sports vest underneath!
She threw herself onto the bed with her back to Jiangnan, her little feet skillfully hooking the hem of his shirt and pulling him toward her!
"Quick quick!"
Jiangnan: (꒪ͦཀ꒪ͦ♡) Pfft~
Is it necessary to be this fast?
Zhong Yingxue's face turned even redder. A... a large-scale cupping scene?
Jiangnan quickly moved closer, his little hands trembling slightly. Just as he was about to start!
Xia Yao turned her head, resting on the pillow, raising an eyebrow and grinning mischievously at Jiangnan!
(˵ಡ.̫ಡ) "Hehe~ Want to do the front side?"
Jiangnan: !!!
Front side? That would be...
"No no no! Let's stick to the back. Who could handle that?"
The Blood Drain Technique was already activating!
(•́ก•̀٥) "Ahem~ Well, let me pat your back first, relax the meridians or something."
Saying that, he cupped his palms and began rhythmically patting Da Lang Mie's back, producing crisp "smack smack" sounds!
Da Lang Mie showed a very relaxed expression, and her little iiOiiO unconsciously swayed!
(ૢ⁼̴̤̆ꇴ⁼̴̤̆ૢ)
At that moment, in the corridor, Nightingale hurried past with documents in hand!
Hearing the crisp sounds from the room, she abruptly stopped, immediately pressed herself against the door, and listened closely!
(๑ᵒ̌▿ᵒ̌门
Her face reddened at a visible rate!
(⑉˃᷄﹃˂᷅⑉) "Hiss~ Is Boss Nan doing pre-battle mobilization? Ehe~ Ehehe~ Slurp!"
"No no, business is important, can't listen anymore!"
Saying that, she quickly hugged the documents and ran away, face red!
In the room, Zhong Yingxue watched seriously from the side, while Jiangnan completely let loose!
"Look at this beautiful back, waistline with not a trace of spare flesh, skin as white as mutton fat. This back! Perfect!"
"It would be a waste not to put two cups on it!"
Xia Yao: !!!
Darn it, "a waste not to put cups"? You wasteful Little Nan!
After patting the back for so long, couldn't you come up with some other wicked thoughts?
Jiangnan reached out and grabbed two "can't-help-myself" small fire jars from the alternate dimension!
"Get ready, I'm starting now!"
O٩(๑•ㅂ•)۶O
(ὅ﹏ὅ⑉) "Wait... ya!"
As he spoke, he directly pressed the two small fire jars onto the area of Xia Yao's shoulder blades!
For a Yuzu-rank miner like Da Lang Mie, she usually got sore shoulders and back from working, so he'd help ease it a bit.
As soon as the small fire jars were attached, Jiangnan twisted them forcefully to the right!
A "click click" sound like a ratchet wrench came from the small fire jars!
The next moment, an incredibly pleasurable sensation spread from the cupped area, instantly flooding her entire body!
The small fire jars glowed red, emitting an astonishing suction force. It felt as if all fatigue and exhaustion, everything, was being sucked away!
Xia Yao instantly turned into a "don't want" alien, her expression melting, saliva almost dripping from the corner of her mouth!
˚₊*(ˊॢO̶̶̷̤﹃O̴̶̷̤ˋॢ)*₊˚
Zhong Yingxue looked eager to try!
(ง❛ั▵❛ั)ง "Is... is it that comfortable?"
Xia Yao tremblingly raised her little hand, giving a thumbs up!
(ૢ⁼̴﹃⁼̴) "Absolutely awesome! Cupping is my favorite!"
Even Jiangnan was stunned. The system baby didn't lie? It really didn't hurt?
But the next moment, Xia Yao's expression turned terrified!
(☍﹏⁰。) "No! No! Take it off!"
What was being taken away wasn't just fatigue, but also the spiritual power inside her body, all energy, and even her rank!
Xia Yao instantly felt like she was leaking, that two holes had been opened, and all the good stuff was being drained!
So she twisted her arms at an astonishing angle to grab the two small fire jars!
She pulled hard, but no matter how hard Da Lang Mie pulled, she couldn't get the small fire jars off her back!
Jiangnan was shocked. Da Lang Mie was this flexible? She didn't need anyone else to scratch her back; she could reach it herself!
But it was too late. The red glow on the two small fire jars reached its peak in just a few seconds!
Then they turned into two brilliant stars floating at the top of the jars!
At this moment, Xia Yao's spiritual power was at the bottom. Not a drop left!
Her cheeks were sunken, looking completely drained!
(›´▵`‹)…
And her rank had dropped from Diamond Four to Diamond Two!
Xia Yao panicked: (›꒦ິ～꒦ີ‹) "What the hell is this thing? My rank! I finally got four stars! Get it off me!"
She felt like her skin was about to be torn off, but no matter how she pulled, it wouldn't come off!
It was as if the fire jars had grown onto her body!
Jiangnan quickly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll help you take them off!"
Saying that, he grabbed the small fire jars and yanked hard!
Two "pop pop" sounds!
The small fire jars were pulled off Xia Yao's back!
But at that moment, the room fell into absolute silence!
Zhong Yingxue's eyes widened, then she quickly turned her head away and burst out laughing, even curling up on the floor rolling around!
(づ˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅ど)…
Jiangnan was also dumbfounded, cold sweat pouring from his forehead!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Damn! What the hell?
On Xia Yao's flawless white back, there were now two big red bumps!
◯◯…
The bumps were huge! As big as oranges!
Extremely conspicuous!
Was... was it swollen from the cupping?
(´థжథ)σ "Pfft~"
Suddenly remembering something, Jiangnan couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, then quickly suppressed it!
Xia Yao panicked: (›･ˇ～ˇ･) "What are you two laughing at? What's on my back? Is it weird?"
But from this angle, Xia Yao couldn't see her own back at all. She jumped off the bed in a fluster, ran to the mirror, and checked her back!
Xia Yao: !!!
"Little Nan! Look! This... how am I supposed to go out and see people? It's swollen from cupping!"
These red bumps are too big, aren't they? They look like... like... oh dear!
[From Xia Yao: Resentment Value +1000!]
Jiangnan clutched his stomach: (*ŐꇴŐ*) "N... no worry! Other girls only have two, but you... you have four! Pfft hahaha~ You're twice as impressive as them!"
"Enjoy double the happiness!"
Xia Yao gritted her teeth. "Double the happiness" my foot!
And these are on my back!
(ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "Laugh! You still laugh! Give me back my stars! My two stars! Ugh~ What kind of crappy fire jars are these!"
First time she heard of cupping that could remove stars!
Furious Yao charged up and drilled Jiangnan's temples with her fists!
Jiangnan held his head, begging for mercy!
୧(☍﹏⁰。)୨ "Okay okay, stop messing around. The stars aren't lost. I can give them back to you!"
Xia Yao was stunned: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) "I can get them back?"
Before Xia Yao could react, Jiangnan picked up one of the fire jars and placed it on Xia Yao's stomach!
He tapped the star on top!
The star on the small fire jar shone brightly, then went out, and the jar shattered into pieces!
And Xia Yao's rank returned to Diamond Three!
Xia Yao was shocked: "Heavens! This... this is unbelievable! Can I give my star to you?"
Jiangnan shook his head. He picked up the remaining fire jar, placed it on himself, and tapped the star!
No reaction!
"Stars taken from someone can only be returned to that person. Others can't use them!"
With that, he returned this star to Xia Yao as well!
Xia Yao looked amazed: "Then what if you're at Diamond Ten, you take out one star to become Diamond Nine, then level up to Diamond Ten again, and then put that star back?"
"Would you become Starlight One?"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Damn? Is... is that even possible?"
Damn! If this works, wouldn't it be a realm-breaking artifact?
What if it's used on a Dao Heaven Ten?
Jiangnan got goosebumps all over. This was just an idea; the specifics would need to be tested later!
But just the Star-Slaying Mode alone already had a lot of potential!
This small fire jar truly deserved the name "devastation-level forbidden artifact."
Also, once it's on, the person being cupped can't take it off themselves? "Can't help themselves" — is that the meaning?
Only the operator who placed the fire jar can take it off?
Or is it that you can't cup yourself? If both operator and recipient are the same person, would it fall into a bug deadlock and be unable to escape?
