Ji Yun looked at Yue Xi, who was so close to him, and saw that she was tightly holding his hand, which was about to take off his shoes.
He said, "You often massage my shoulders, so there's nothing wrong with me massaging your feet. Don't be too nervous. We're innocent and have nothing to be ashamed of."
He removed Yuexi's hand and then gently pushed her back against the stone pillar.
Under the cover of night, Ji Yun couldn't see clearly, but since her hand felt uncomfortable, she simply took off her stockings.
Yuexi, feeling shy and flustered, said, "Don't take off my socks..."
Ji Yun ignored it, his hand just able to grasp those light and delicate little feet, and after rubbing them a few times, he felt his disciple's body tremble.
He said softly, "Do you think we went through the checkpoint too quickly, and the other people haven't come up yet?"
Yuexi gripped the wooden railing with one hand, her index fingernail digging into the wood, and replied, "I...I don't know...Um...Master...It's a little itchy, don't rub my feet..."
Ji Yun heard footsteps and some conversations: "Someone's coming."
When Yuexi heard someone approaching, she quickly tried to pull her foot back, but Ji Yun held it down firmly. She said anxiously, "Master, stop holding it down, someone is coming."
"It's alright, they can go their own way, it's none of our business."
Ji Yun continued massaging, and seeing Yue Xi still leaning against the stone pillar, he loosened his grip slightly.
Judging from the conversation not far away, it sounded like two men.
"Damn it, this level is so hard. We were the first to get through, but it got dark when we came out. We're now way behind."
"Sigh, senior brother, I really can't walk anymore. I was already exhausted, and then I had to run around in there for so long. My legs are about to break."
"Then let's rest here for a while, and leave when we're ready."
Hearing the voices below, Yuexi's heart stirred. She whispered, "Master, they were the first to go in, why are they taking so long to come out?"
Ji Yun thought for a moment: "I guess you've been inside for too long. Some of those traps are really disgusting. If you go the wrong way, they'll teleport you to some strange and weird spaces, and then you'll need to find a way out to get back."
Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then realized with lingering fear, "Luckily, we passed through smoothly all the way."
Ji Yun wrapped one hand around the soft little foot and kneaded it with a little force, saying, "That's right, now you know how powerful your master is, right? Listen to your master more often from now on."
"......"
"You're not convinced? Your master is the supreme master of the demonic path. When I was stirring up the winds and clouds and dominating this region, you hadn't even started cultivating yet."
"......"
Seeing that Yuexi didn't speak, he continued to rub her, and a muffled groan came from Yuexi's mouth.
Ji Yun said, "Lie down a little and take a nap. I'll wake you up later."
Yuexi murmured, "Mmm."
Ji Yun shifted slightly to make her more comfortable, and stopped kneading her forcefully, only gently stroking and rubbing her.
Two hours passed quickly. During this time, people gradually came to rest near the pavilion. The pavilion was quite large, almost like a small square. Everyone found a place to rest without disturbing anyone.
In the pitch black of night, if a quarrel were to escalate into a fight, it would be a real problem. Serious injuries could even lead to being reported out of Luoshan and disqualifying one from the assessment.
The air was slightly cool, and I could gradually see things around me more clearly; the grass and trees around me were covered in dew.
"Master...you can't press it anymore..."
Ji Yun turned his head slightly, and Yue Xi's watery eyes were looking at him.
He took a closer look and thought, "Hmm? This hand seems to have a mind of its own. How did it end up pressing on my calf?"
He quickly said, "Sorry, I was distracted. Put on your shoes, have something to eat, and get ready to go."
After the two finished eating the food they had brought, the disciples nearby soon began to rustle and prepare to set off.
Some sharp-eyed disciples, seeing Ji Yun and Yue Xi eating, suddenly felt hungry.
The disciple walked over and asked, "Fellow Daoists, is there any food left? We came in a hurry and didn't bring any food with us. We are really starving now."
He looked embarrassed. Now that everyone was a competitor, no one would be generous enough to help their rival.
Ji Yun glanced at the package: "There are three wild fruits left. That should be enough for today. You can take them."
After saying that, Ji Yun handed over the three fruits.
The disciple said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you so much for your help, fellow Daoist. I'll treat you to some wine after we get out. By the way, do you have any water?"
Ji Yun glanced at him, and the disciple was somewhat embarrassed. This was considered pushing his luck, but there was nothing he could do, as he couldn't open his storage bag.
Presumably someone overheard their conversation, several disciples ran over and said, "I can buy it; you'll get spirit stones after we leave."
The disciple who spoke first quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I can pay with spirit stones."
Ji Yun said disdainfully, "Who cares about your spirit stones? If you want water, go lick the leaves."
He pointed to the grass and trees outside, which were covered in dew.
"this......"
"We are fellow Daoists, why are you so stingy!"
"Yeah, if you have any, just share them with everyone. It's not like we're not paying you. Can't we even give you spirit stones?"
Seeing his disciples chattering on and on, he said, "These three fruits are all we have. We've given them to you all. What more do you want? People shouldn't be greedy. There's so much dew outside. You can collect a little to quench your thirst. What? Have you been cultivating the Tao too much and become lazy about farming? Too lazy to lift a finger?"
At this moment, the disciples shouted, "How can you be so ungrateful? We were begging you so politely, who is lazy about farming?"
Ji Yun snatched the bundle of fruit from the person in front of him and threw it aside, saying, "Go eat shit."
