"If you help, I'll buy you lots of beans when we collect your quest reward from the Adventurers' Guild later..."
"Your Highness, Lady Fengyi, please wait a moment! Leave finding materials to me!"
Upon hearing about the beans, Oz's motivation surged. He left a 'wait a moment' and soared into the sky.
When he returned after much effort, he found the Princess and Fengyi chatting happily while eating grilled fish, with only him doing the work.
But thinking of all the beans he could eat back home, Oz felt the future was promising!
Fengyi and Fischl returned to Mondstadt City and parted ways at the Adventurers' Guild.
"Goodbye, Little Aether. Come to 'Cat's Tail' sometime, and I'll treat you to bubble tea!" Fengyi said with a smile.
"Hmph, I told you I am the Prinzessin der Verurteilung—Fischl, not Little Aether!" Fischl retorted, puffing out her cheeks and giving Fengyi a glare upon hearing her nickname.
"Little Aether, come home for dinner!" At that moment, Fischl's father waved at her from a distance and called out.
"Dad... Dad, I'll be right back..." Fischl's cheeks instantly burned crimson. The moment before, she was refuting Fengyi, and the next, she was "stabbed" by her own father.
"That's all for today, this Prinzessin shall take her leave!" Fischl declared, then, taking Oz with her, she ran off without looking back.
Fengyi smiled but said nothing. Compared to the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, Fischl, Little Aether was clearly cuter.
Upon returning home, Fengyi prepared the collected materials into a topical liniment to alleviate lumbar muscle strain, then took these remedies to the Knights' office.
When Fengyi arrived at Jean's office, he found Lisa also there.
"Fengyi, you're here?" Jean, who was talking with Lisa, couldn't help but show a look of undisguised joy when she noticed Fengyi's arrival out of the corner of her eye.
"Fengyi, my little darling, what brings you to see my Jean?" Lisa asked curiously, noticing the bottle of dark liquid Fengyi was carrying.
"Go away, when did I become yours?" Jean scoffed at Lisa, annoyed that she was being so indecent even in front of Fengyi.
"You truly are heartless. With the new love, Fengyi, you've forgotten your old flame, alas~ life is unpredictable!" Lisa said mournfully, scanning the two of them.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll ask you to leave!" Jean sighed, resting her forehead. What kind of words was Lisa using? They were too easily misinterpreted.
"Jean has been working for a long time, and prolonged sitting has caused lumbar muscle strain. I've specially prepared a topical liniment, along with some massage techniques, which can help Jean alleviate the soreness and pain from her lumbar muscle strain..." Fengyi quickly intervened, realizing that if Lisa continued, the brakes might fail. After all, the title of 'Mondstadt's King of Drifting' wasn't just for show.
"How thoughtful! Fengyi, my little darling, when can you give your sister a massage too? I sit in the library all day, and my back gets quite sore!" Lisa said with a hint of envy, acknowledging that who could refuse such thoughtful service from Fengyi?
"Another day, another day, if there's an opportunity, I'll definitely help you!" Fengyi said helplessly, wondering why there were suddenly so many guests with lumbar muscle strain recently. The amount of liniment he made might not be enough!
"Don't say 'another day,' how about tonight? Sister will be waiting for you at home tonight, Fengyi, my little darling. Don't keep your sister waiting all night~" Lisa didn't give Fengyi a chance to refuse, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind her to give Fengyi and Jean some private time.
"Fengyi, you don't need to feel awkward. Actually, Lisa was just joking. I'll explain things to her properly later..." Jean got up, sat beside Fengyi, and said with concern.
"It's alright. If there's time, I can help her with a massage too. But for now, let me massage you first!" Fengyi said with a smile, planning to try again after his previous attempt to be intentionally electrocuted failed. He was determined to get what he wanted from Lisa's undemanding request!
Jean wanted to say something upon hearing this, but ultimately kept silent. She closed her eyes, relaxing and enjoying Fengyi's massage service. She had to admit that after these few sessions of eye-bag massages, she could clearly feel Fengyi's massage techniques improving, with perfect control over strength and rhythm.
"Jean, for this lumbar muscle massage, do you need the topical liniment as well? Massaging with liniment... it requires..." Fengyi whispered into Jean's ear as he performed the eye-bag massage. While Jean could apply the liniment herself after the massage, absorption would definitely not be as good as when he applied it during the massage. This was because he could use his power to channel the medicinal components of the liniment into the strained muscles, helping the strained muscle tissue absorb them fully and maximize the liniment's efficacy. However, the only issue was that when massaging with liniment, it couldn't be done through clothes... Fengyi explained the benefits and precautions of massaging with liniment to Jean, leaving the decision to her. Fengyi respected her choice.
"Then... then I'll trouble you..." Jean pondered for a moment before deciding to take a gamble. She believed in Fengyi's character. Moreover, due to her affection for Fengyi, she felt a subtle sense of anticipation. The stimulating and shameful act caused Jean's hormones to surge, and she even hoped Fengyi would do other things to her... Indeed, once one started falling in love, they tended to become foolish. Even the usually calm and decisive Jean was not immune to this law. In contrast to her usual strict demeanor, once her inner restraints were released, she could even become more fervent than an ordinary person.
The eye-bag massage ended. Jean removed all her clothes, leaving only a bra holding her pale slimes. She then quickly lay face down on the sofa, her face burning hot, eyes tightly shut, her body tense as anticipation and modesty battled within her.
"I'm starting!"
"Mmm."
Fengyi's fingers lightly hooked the back strap of Jean's bra, freeing the bound pale slimes. As the straps slid from Jean's shoulders, her snow-white slimes were revealed from the side to Fengyi. Without time to linger, Fengyi poured a bit of the topical liniment into his hand and gently rubbed and massaged it onto Jean's smooth, flawless jade-like back. Feeling Jean's tense body, Fengyi deliberately reduced the pressure.
"Mmmph~" Jean found it difficult to describe how comfortable Fengyi's gentle massage was, but she knew that from now on, she might never be able to do without Fengyi's massages. As the soreness in her back gradually subsided, Jean closed her eyes in enjoyment and slowly drifted into sleep.
