Chapter 8
Li Qingran seemed to have truly heard him. Fear flickered in her eyes, and she took a step back, lowering her head as if scolded, nervously clutching her clothes and murmuring, “Okay, okay... But I’m all dirty, so could you please let me wash up first before you pass on your skills? Is that alright?”
As a cultivator, it was impossible for her to have any odor.
However, after half a month of living in disarray, her hair was unkempt, and she was covered in dust and mud, with dried bloodstains on her clothes. There was no way she could let her senior use their powers to heal her in such a state, no matter how thick-skinned she was.
She perked up her ears, waiting for her senior's response.
Uh...
Let’s rule out options one and four.
Chen Huai'an hesitated between two and three.
What would happen if he chose three?
Li Qingran wouldn’t really take off her top, would she? It looked like she was only wearing that one piece.
If he chose two, Li Qingran would definitely go take a shower. But could he watch that?
No wonder the game warned that players must be over 18; there might really be some unspeakable VIP content.
But was Chen Huai'an that kind of pervert?
He played games, and he spent money because the data of Li Qingran provided him with emotional value, the last ray of hope in his desperate life!
Besides, Li Qingran was already beautiful with her flushed face.
She would look even prettier after a wash.
It was definitely not because he wanted to explore the bathroom.
Option two it is!
In the game, Li Qingran blushed and nodded, whispering, “Then, I’ll go now.”
The bathroom was right next door; it hadn’t been there before.
She had already checked it out while exploring the house. It was fully equipped with all the necessities for washing up. As a girl who valued cleanliness, she had long wanted to freshen up, but she just hadn’t settled down yet.
Entering the bathroom, she looked at herself in the copper mirror.
Just as she was about to loosen her clothes, her fingers suddenly froze at her chest, and the blush on her face spread to her ears.
She bit her lip, her mind racing: Her senior was incredibly powerful, having foreseen the attack of the demon wolf and sent her spirit stones and pills when she spat blood. This meant that everything about her could be seen by her senior.
In other words, if she bathed here, she would definitely be exposed to her senior's gaze.
This...
“No, no way! My senior isn’t that kind of person!”
Li Qingran shook her head vigorously.
She even felt a bit ashamed; how could she think like that?
If her senior wanted to take advantage of her, they wouldn’t have waited until now.
Moreover, her senior was likely a venerable elder of several hundred years. Just listening to his voice, one could tell that a youthful tone didn’t mean a youthful age. If he was such an elder, he surely wouldn’t be interested in a fledgling like her.
With that thought, her shyness and inner turmoil dissipated significantly.
Her clothes slipped from her bare shoulders, and as she loosened her undergarment, her exquisitely proportioned, alluring figure was revealed...
At the same time.
Chen Huai'an stared at his phone, his eyes reddening.
His finger hovered indecisively over the bathroom option.
He had already tried switching rooms before; it was as simple as a tap.
“Chen Huai'an, don’t become someone you despise!”
“But this is just a game! Desire is human nature!”
“Chen Huai'an, you’re a cancer patient; you don’t need to have such desires!”
“What’s wrong with being a patient? Can’t a patient have desires?”
...
“I’m just worried about the girl in the bathroom. What if she slips?”
What if a giant shark demon or an octopus demon suddenly appeared in the bathroom?
With that thought, his finger landed on the bathroom option.
【Insufficient favorability, unable to spy.】
Chen Huai'an let out a sigh of relief, his anxious heart finally at ease.
But then it sprang back to life.
So, it meant he could watch, just that his favorability wasn’t high enough to allow it?
“Like I’m dying to see or something.”
Chen Huai'an scoffed, casually opening a small website to indulge himself.
Halfway through, a notification from the game chimed in.
【Li Qingran has finished bathing.】
“So fast? Don’t girls usually take at least half an hour to shower?”
Chen Huai'an silently put the opened tissue back, focusing on the bathroom door.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and faint steam wafted out. Then it swung fully open, revealing Li Qingran with bare shoulders, wrapped in a simple white towel. Chen Huai'an’s view was instantly filled with her long, fair feet, which continued to enlarge, even showing droplets of water rolling down.
“Wow! This little studio is impressive! The Matrix is impressive!”
Chen Huai'an couldn’t help but praise the water droplets and steam.
“By the way, isn’t this girl going to wear something new?”
He saw Li Qingran kneeling on the bed, facing away from the camera.
Her flawless back made him want to go over and give her a couple of cupping treatments.
“Se-Senior, I’m ready now…”
In Li Qingran’s mind, her senior was a kind yet stern old man, so her embarrassment and psychological burden weren’t too severe. However, after taking the Great Pill and loosening her bathrobe, which fell along her curvy waist and covered her legs and hips, revealing her entire back, her ears still turned a deep shade of red.
Healing through cultivation couldn’t be done through clothing, especially on the back, abdomen, and chest.
She had accumulated fire poison and various impurities in her body, which would all be expelled during the healing process.
And since the fire poison was intense, it could easily ignite clothing, so exposing her entire back was the most convenient option.
But exposing her back was still better than being completely burned clean, right?
Chen Huai'an stared at Li Qingran’s back, completely dumbfounded.
At that moment, the game’s perspective had zoomed in on Li Qingran’s back, showcasing the area from the nape of her neck down to above her hips.
He could even see the faint outline of veins beneath her fair skin.
“Seriously, is this a test for an old-timer?”
He said that, but he had to admit.
That back was truly beautiful.
The curve was stunning.
But what to do next?
After a few seconds of confusion, a golden acupoint map appeared on Li Qingran’s back.
【Please tap ‘Mingmen’ with your left hand and ‘Qihaiyu’ with your right hand to begin the healing process.】

Chapter 9: The Heavenly Mechanism is Being Unraveled
“Oh, so this is how it works.”
Not feeling disappointed or otherwise, Chen Huai'an reached out and pressed down.
“Mm…” A soft, muffled sound came from the game.
Chen Huai'an: “…”
Well, it was indeed a little studio.
He liked little studios.
The spiritual energy entering her body seemed quite painful, as Li Qingran kept letting out suppressed moans. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her cheeks and neck, and her skin began to glisten with tiny droplets. Chen Huai'an could clearly see that as the healing progress bar slowly advanced, small black substances began to appear among the droplets.
“This visual is breathtaking.”
How to put it?
When spending money on a game, it’s not just about whether it’s fun, but also whether it’s worth it.
Some games are just so limited in scope; while the gameplay might be decent, they only produce one or two chapters, and the overall game time is less than two hours, yet they sell for hundreds. Isn’t that just milking the players?
But this game, Electronic Girlfriend, was different.
He had a feeling this game could keep him entertained for a long time.
As the healing progressed to the halfway mark, some encouraging notifications finally appeared.
【Li Qingran, meridians repaired, ‘foundation damaged’, removed.】
【Li Qingran, internal injuries healed, ‘moderate internal injury’, removed.】
【Detoxification has begun, please tap ‘Yaoyangguan’ and press ‘Shenyu’ in a circular motion to continue the healing process.】
Chen Huai'an switched to the two acupoints as instructed.
But as soon as he did, Li Qingran let out an “Ah.”
“Ugh, that must hurt, right?” he thought silently.
At that moment, Li Qingran’s skin began to flush, but this redness wasn’t from soaking in hot water; it was more like the color of a boiled shrimp. She was clearly in pain, biting her teeth to hold back her sounds.
But in reality?
