Yun Ruoxia became interested and moved the beef back tendons to the side to pound them. After Yun Ling counted two more eight counts, two more moths were missing. When Yun Ling fluttered up and down like a bird, two more moths were missing. Finally, after one more eight count, they were all wiped out.
Yun Ruoxia laughed happily, but at the same time, she became curious. She really wanted to know how difficult it could be, so she put down the hammer and followed Yun Ling in spreading her arms and flapping them.
You don't know until you try. When she tried, she couldn't even hold two eight-counts, so she quickly put her hands down. She usually doesn't move much. Apart from earning money, she would rather walk around and listen to gossip to pass the time. This kind of activity is not suitable for her.
Seeing that everyone had put their hands down, Yunling smiled and said, "Keep going, hurry up. Even if you feel tired, take a break and then keep up. You have to finish it no matter what. Keep going and you'll get better every day."
Although Yunling was also very tired, no matter how many times she had done this set of movements before, doing it again would make her arms sore and numb, as if she wished her life would be taken away.
However, if she gives up easily, others will follow suit, and she will have to put in more effort to gain their trust in the future.
Hearing Yunling's words and seeing that she was sweating profusely and her cheeks were flushed but she was unwilling to give up, the others had no excuse to back down and continued to stand up.
It was the height of summer, and everyone was sweating profusely. After drinking several cups of perilla tea, their appetite waned, and they simply ate some porridge and called it a day.
Fortunately, a cool breeze at night dissipated some of the heat accumulated during the day, and Yunling took this opportunity to gather everyone around the dining table.
"You've all worked hard today. After we finish this last facial slimming exercise, we can go back to our rooms and rest."
After spending a day together, Tang Ling had become accustomed to Yun Ling's obscure writing style and was no longer surprised by this "face-slimming exercise," so she asked:
"Young lady, is this face-slimming exercise something we can do just by sitting down?"
"Yes, generally speaking, back exercises can stretch the neck, making it appear longer, and can also make the face firmer and the skin better. However, if combined with some facial slimming techniques, it can promote lymphatic drainage, reduce the appearance of a chubby face, and thus make your face shape more attractive."
The phrase "become good-looking" directly hits everyone's heart. Who doesn't want to look good? Everyone wants to look good, so they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Yunling guided them step by step. Because the movements were simple and easy to understand, she didn't need to put in much effort and was able to guide everyone to finish in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The next day,
For some reason, Yunling felt that it was getting light exceptionally early today. Her whole body ached and felt numb, as if she had been stuffed into a sack and beaten up. It was only with great difficulty that she managed to get out of bed.
Although Tang Ling and the others left the room first, none of them were as energetic as they were yesterday, eager to earn copper coins and live the wonderful life they desired.
Upon seeing Yunling, they all crowded around her, pouring out their grievances to each other.
"Young lady, look at the dark circles under my eyes. I barely got any rest last night. My whole chest was in so much pain that I couldn't even breathe properly. I thought I was going to die."
"Me too, me too, except that my chest is aching slightly, my shoulders are always sore, not to mention my arms, they are so sore that I can't just lie there, I have to bend my arms to fall asleep slowly."
“My situation is a little different. My hands ache before bed, but I can still sleep well. However, when I wake up, my whole body feels like I'm carrying a huge mountain. It's very heavy and uncomfortable.”
"..."
Yunling used her special ability to examine each of them's bodies and found nothing unusual, so she was relieved. Perhaps the reason why they were in so much pain was partly due to incorrect breathing or improper movements when exerting force.
Yunling was keeping a close eye on this group of people. If it were any other young ladies training alone, Yunling would still suggest that they find an experienced supervisor to conduct proper breathing exercises and correct their movements.
"I've already told you, exhale when you exert force and inhale when you return to the starting position. Breathing is very important during exercise, so don't forget it."
"Make sure to tighten your abs. Remember where to apply the force: use your hands, not your feet; use your back, not your buttocks. Keep that in mind."
"On the second day, your muscles will react and you'll always feel sore. I feel it, and so do you. It's perfectly normal. Once you get through this difficult process and train for a few days in a row, you'll get used to it and feel much more relaxed. So don't just stand there, get moving."
Those present were somewhat unwilling, but they were also well aware of their own position. Yunling had said she treated them as business partners, that Yunling was a good person, and that her family was kind, but they couldn't really treat themselves like a piece of cake.
After all, they were bought from a slave trader, and it was their duty to obey their master's orders. Even if they weren't made to continue training today, but instead had to sweep the latrines or do farm work, they couldn't blame anyone else.
Therefore, they started training with Yunling again. Although their bodies were very heavy and painful, when they actually touched the movement again, they still felt that they could do it. Before they knew it, another day had passed.
After five days of training, everyone's bodies were finally no longer sore, and they were even able to grit their teeth and practice the swan arm movements from beginning to end in one go, which was no easy feat. Under the scorching heat, with their hair and clothes completely soaked, Yunling was quite excited to have persevered.
These days, she had no idea what the situation was like in the city. However, even if the scandal involving the brothel was brewing, she didn't need to worry. After all, they had only provided thirteen designs, which could be considered thirteen unique pieces.
Even if the owner of that cloth shop wanted to make a substitute, he would probably have to squeeze into a brothel, hire a trustworthy young man, and spend a lot of money to inspect the place before he could even get a chance of getting close. As for the inner workings of the trade, she would have to steal one to study it.
Yunling trusted the madam of Fengyue Tower very much. A madam as shrewd as her, who was also very adept at dealing with people and was currently competing with Yayuan, would naturally be cautious. She would definitely not let such a thing happen.
