Chapter 1118: Chapter 1119 Guidance
"This..." Song Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "I need to specifically check how your True Qi is flowing. I just suddenly thought that the body structures of men and women are somewhat different, and the meridians are also slightly different. The methods I taught you before were all taught according to a manâs constitution, so Iâm afraid the problem lies here."
"Oh... So what do you mean, Master?" Lu Yaobing more or less understood what Song Xiaodong meant, and her face turned red.
"So, I have to... place my hand below your lower abdomen."
Lu Yaobing guessed it would be this, bit her lip, and said, "Master, thereâs nothing to it. Youâre my master, after all. Youâre teaching me something. As a disciple, I wonât think too much."
"Oh, itâs good you think that way." Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, though his expression quickly turned somewhat awkward. He said, "Today youâre wearing jeans, and theyâre quite thick..."
"Ah... I understand." Lu Yaobingâs face reddened even more. She bit her lip and said, "Then, Master, Iâll take a bath first."
"Oh, go ahead then." Song Xiaodong nodded.
After a while, Lu Yaobing returned, wrapped in a bathrobe, and said softly, "Master, why donât you take a bath too? That way, after cultivating energy, we can go straight to sleep."
"That makes sense... Oh, you mean weâre going to sleep in the same room today?" Song Xiaodong suddenly realized this was the issue.
The room Song Xiaodong rented today was a suite, but not a presidential suite type. Although there was a living room outside, there was only one bed inside.
"Master!" Lu Yaobing suddenly gathered her courage and said, "One room is fine. I admire you greatly and know you wonât do anything to me. Besides, the times Iâve taken medicine...were with you, and even if I share a bed with you, it doesnât seem like a big deal either."
Song Xiaodongâs mouth twitched a little, then he rubbed his nose and said, "Thatâs not appropriate. After all, Iâm your master, and the reaction from the medication is unavoidable. But being awake and sleeping on the same bed with you is too outrageous. How about this, itâs troublesome to rent another room, so Iâll just sleep on the sofa for one night."
"How can that be? Even if someone must sleep on the sofa, it should be the disciple, not the master." Lu Yaobing hurriedly said.
"Ha... youâre still a girl, and you want to sleep on the sofa? Iâm still a man, right?"
"Master, you always say that a master is like a father. A daughter sleeping on the same bed as her father, thereâs nothing wrong with that, is there? If you choose to sleep on the sofa, that means you have bad intentions toward your disciple."
"Pfft! You really know how to accuse someone." Song Xiaodong was amused by Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing grabbed Song Xiaodongâs arm and gently shook it, saying, "Master, I trust you this much, you canât disappoint your disciple."
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Alright, stop accusing me. Anyway, the bed is big enough, so letâs just sleep together."
"Yay!" Lu Yaobing cheered, releasing Song Xiaodongâs arm, and watched him head to the bathroom with a helpless shake of his head, while feeling as if she had won a great battle.
But in a flash, Lu Yaobingâs face turned red. What was she doing, pushing Song Xiaodong to share a bed with her and feeling excited about it? She should be feeling shy, right?
Never mind! Anyway, Master is still the master I respect the most, even if the most embarrassing things have already been seen by the master. Whatâs the big deal about sharing a bed?
Song Xiaodong took a shower, also changed into a bathrobe, and returned to the bedroom. Lu Yaobing was already sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard with a blanket covering her legs.
Song Xiaodong, having calmed down while showering, came over and smiled, "Alright, lie flat and start cultivating energy."
"Yes, Master." Lu Yaobing obediently agreed, then lay flat, but in doing so, her bathrobe got uncomfortably bunched underneath her back.
"Master, should I... take off the bathrobe?" Lu Yaobing asked with a hint of shyness, blinking her bright eyes.
"Take it off if itâs getting in the way." Song Xiaodong, not being pretentious, naturally nodded.
Lu Yaobing immediately sat up, tossed the blanket aside, and lowered her head to take off the bathrobe, revealing her bikini underneath.
Song Xiaodong said, "Alright, lie flat and start cultivating energy with no distractions in your mind."
Although Lu Yaobing felt initially shy undressing like this in front of Song Xiaodong, seeing his calm expression soon relaxed her. She lay down and began circulating her True Qi.
Song Xiaodong sat beside Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobingâs body trembled for a moment, and her eyelids fluttered.
"Set aside distractions." Song Xiaodong said calmly.
Lu Yaobingâs body trembled again, then her breathing gradually steadied, and her True Qi began to flow normally within her.
Song Xiaodong felt Lu Yaobingâs True Qi, and after a while, he moved his hand away.
Lu Yaobing immediately opened her eyes and asked, "Master, how was it?"
Song Xiaodong said, "As expected, it was my oversight. The meridians are different, so itâs been incorrect all along, but the impact isnât significant. Itâs only when youâre on your period that it becomes uncomfortable for you."
"Oh, what should I do now?" Lu Yaobing asked again.
"Now Iâll guide you through the correct path for your True Qi. You need to carefully understand it." As Song Xiaodong spoke, he placed his hand back on Lu Yaobingâs lower abdomen. True Qi flowed from his hand into Lu Yaobingâs Dantian, then moved down, focusing on the meridians below her abdomen.
Lu Yaobing closed her eyes once more and attentively comprehended it. She was a natural talent in cultivation, otherwise, she wouldnât have been able to explore True Qi on her own. With Song Xiaodongâs guidance, she quickly understood.
"Ha... itâs all good now. Iâm truly unqualified as a master, to have made such a basic mistake." Song Xiaodong shook his head, finding it somewhat laughable.
Lu Yaobing chuckled softly and said, "Master, donât blame yourself. Itâs just a difference between men and women, youâve never taught a female disciple before."
"But regardless, it was still a problem with my teaching. Fortunately, you mentioned it now. If you kept practicing for a few more months like this, it would have seriously harmed your health, even causing infertility, which would have been a grave mistake on my part."
"That serious..." Lu Yaobing was surprised, but then her face flushed as she twisted her waist and said, "Master, Iâm still a student, and youâre talking about infertility..."
