Chapter 695
“Xia'er...” Aivina hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I recommend... it’s best if we go to the bathroom...”
“Why?” Xia'er blinked, puzzled. “Isn’t the study fine?”
“Even though it’s happening in your subconscious, your body will still have some natural reactions in reality...”
Aivina’s words were somewhat indirect, but they were clear enough to convey her meaning.
After a moment of silence, Xia'er gently nodded.
With Aivina’s support, she got up and returned to the room, entering the bedroom.
It wasn’t until Xia'er had shed her clothes and lay in the bathtub that Aivina’s eyes slowly lit up with a purple glow.
Under Aivina’s gaze, Xia'er’s eyes gradually lost focus, slipping into a drowsy state.
At that moment, Aivina took out a vial of dark purple potion from her bosom. This was a legitimate stimulant, and Aivina herself felt a bit fatigued, needing the potion’s assistance.
Meanwhile, Xia'er found herself in a dark space.
This sensation was somewhat reminiscent of the dreams created by the “Dream Thief,” but unlike the “Dream Thief,” this space was devoid of any decoration, making it clear that she had entered a state of hypnosis.
The “Dream Thief” and “Psychologist” both stemmed from the same “seed” of ability, so it was natural for their powers to exhibit similarities.
However, the dark space reminded Xia'er of some unpleasant memories.
Before long, light began to seep into the surroundings.
The scenery around her twisted and transformed, flowers and trees sprouting up, making it seem as if Xia'er was deep within a dreamlike garden.
Before long, a distortion appeared before her, and Aivina’s figure materialized.
In this moment, Xia'er had no sense of touch; she stood naked in the flower field, watching Aivina and waiting for her next move.
“I’m going to gradually release your perception of your body. I’ll use touch to help you feel...” Aivina didn’t speak aloud, but her voice reached Xia'er’s ears. “If you feel uncomfortable at any point, just say so.”
“Okay.” Xia'er nodded, watching as Aivina approached her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
Xia'er finally felt something, but it was a very ordinary sensation, lacking even the slightest hint of [Sensitivity Lv.1].
At the same time, in reality, Aivina, with her eyes glowing purple, rested her hand on Xia'er’s shoulder in the bathtub.
“I’ll go through your entire body’s sensations, then adjust upwards, and repeat...”
As Aivina spoke, her other hand gently rested on Xia'er’s lower abdomen, slowly caressing and sliding down.
“Now, I’ll restore one-tenth of your perception...”
As soon as Aivina finished speaking, Xia'er, who seemed to be in a deep slumber in the bathtub, slightly trembled, instinctively tightening her legs.
One-tenth of bodily perception already exceeded [Sensitivity Lv.2], hovering between Lv.2 and Lv.3... but it seemed to be within Xia'er’s tolerable range.

**Chapter 355: The Accelerated Simulation of Tomorrow**
...
In the room, Aivina lay back on the large bed, clad only in a thin nightgown, seemingly having fallen asleep. Yet, a silly grin, completely at odds with her usual demeanor, lingered on her face.
It looked as if she had just experienced something that brought her immense joy, something she was now reliving in her dreams, even in her exhausted state.
If this were a comic, her eyes would surely be drawn as spirals, conveying a sense of blissful daze.
Her naturally pale hands now appeared as if they had been soaked in water for too long, taking on a ghostly hue, and the skin on her fingers had begun to wrinkle.

The bathroom door swung open, and Xia'er, freshly washed and dressed, leaned against the wall as she made her way to the sofa.
Taking a deep breath, she picked up the teapot on the table and drank the slightly cool black tea, quenching her thirst.
After setting the teapot down, Xia'er slowly raised her right hand and pinched her left hand, letting out a soft sigh.
Though she was reluctant to admit it, thanks to Aivina, Xia'er had fully adapted to the enhancement of her bodily senses brought by [Sensitivity Lv.4].
Her brain seemed to have adjusted to this heightened sensitivity; now, performing ordinary actions no longer triggered any extreme reactions from her body or mind.
For Xia'er, [Sensitivity] now only had positive effects, with the negative aspects completely dissipated.
She turned her head slightly to look at Aivina, who lay on the bed with an expression that suggested she had transcended to another realm.
Though Xia'er had already sensed something in her subconscious... it was only after exiting that state that she confirmed all the sensations she had experienced, including Aivina’s kisses, licks, and caresses, were indeed performed by the real Aivina.
In other words, Xia'er had been “played with” for nearly two hours while lying in the bathtub...
In reality, only an hour had passed, but in her subconscious, it felt like she had been toyed with for at least ten hours.
Damn it...
She had enjoyed it...
However, Aivina seemed to be very mindful of boundaries; without any resistance from Xia'er, she hadn’t left a single mark or caused any pain.
At least from Xia'er’s perspective, Aivina’s actions had always been gentle, keeping her mind in a state of “euphoria.”
Looking at it this way, letting Aivina take the lead seemed beneficial for both of them...
But...
Xia'er refused.
She took a deep breath, pressing her lips tightly together.
But today, she wouldn’t swallow this anger.
She would find a time when Aivina was well-rested and repay her for everything she had done today a hundredfold...
Xia'er’s abilities could easily revert Aivina’s body to its peak state, and her time acceleration could allow Aivina to experience countless sensations in mere seconds...
At that point, Aivina begging for mercy wouldn’t do her any good.
After resting for a moment, Xia'er got up and walked over to Aivina, pulling a blanket over her.
Aivina had helped Xia'er restore her spirits, but she herself was in a state of mental fatigue, having pushed her abilities for over two hours with the aid of the potion...
Xia'er wouldn’t be surprised if Aivina slept the entire day.
With the issue of sensitivity resolved and dawn breaking, Xia'er had no special plans for the day.
If all went well, she would simply rest, waiting for her mental energy to fully recover, then quickly run through the simulation of tomorrow, refreshing the simulation time and earning some Destiny Points in the process.
After taking another sip of tea, Xia'er stood up and walked toward the door, planning to return to the study to organize the key points of the Flesh Alchemy.
Previously, she had only recorded the experimental processes, logs, and results in the simulation. Now, she needed to compile everything into something resembling a textbook.
Having such a textbook would make it easier for her researchers to grasp the Flesh Alchemy if she wished to continue developing it, streamlining various aspects significantly.
Today was a perfect day to spend some time on compiling and editing.
After closing the door, Xia'er leaned against the wall as she walked toward the study. Just then, the guest room door opened, and Tara emerged, rubbing her eyes.
Having caught up on about two hours of sleep, Tara seemed to have regained quite a bit of energy.
As soon as she stepped out and saw Xia'er, her previously drowsy eyes brightened, and her expression shifted to one of delight.
Tara approached Xia'er, lowering her head as she said, “Good morning... Your servant Tara has followed your orders and had a good sleep. I’m now full of energy and ready to carry out any command you have, Lady Xia'er.”
Tara was certainly more obedient... Aivina was just too rebellious, always thinking about “overthrowing the master.”
“Glad to hear you rested well...” After a moment of thought, Xia'er replied, “Please bring me some writing paper and ink to the study. I need to write something.”
