Kevin and Mozzie also looked over. Subtly, Shi Xiaobai had already become the focus of their attention.
Shi Xiaobai nodded and without any hesitation and said, "This King has a way to improve your cultivation speed!"
The moment he said this, Mu Yuesheng was first stunned before calming down. She asked again, "Do you mean...cogitation cultivation techniques?"
Cogitation affected one's cultivation speed. And the effectiveness of Cogitation depended on cogitation cultivation techniques and one’s Mind Expanse. The first thing she thought of when she heard Shi Xiaobai’s words was that he planned on sharing a more advanced cogitation cultivation technique with her. Immediately, Mu Yuesheng felt somewhat touched.
However, Shi Xiaobai's answer was clearly not this. This was because he had never used so-called cogitation cultivation techniques in his Cogitation.
Shi Xiaobai did not keep up the suspense and shook his head. He said, "No, This King is referring to...Mind Expanse!"
Mu Yuesheng's pupils slightly contracted when she heard this. Quickly, she gave a bitter smile and said, "Why are you making fun of me?"
Numerous experts had researched for countless years but had failed to achieve anything in the field of Mind Expanse. By saying that he could allow her to cultivate faster by working on her Mind Expanse, this was a joke that hit her soft spot. It was not at all funny.
Kevin immediately wanted to mock Shi Xiaobai, but turning around to glance at Mozzie, he immediately tolerated it. He began telling himself, be more mature, be more mature, be more mature...
Mozzie clearly had great confidence in Shi Xiaobai. She hurriedly said, "Lord Shi Xiaobai will definitely not make errant jokes. He is definitely able to do what he claims!"
Shi Xiaobai followed up on Mozzie's words and said seriously, "This King obviously does not joke around needlessly. This King does have the means to improve your Mind Expanse. Although This King's ability can only result in a temporary increase, which means it will recover to its normal state after a period of time, there is not one bit of falsehood in truly raising it."
Noticing Shi Xiaobai's seriousness and how he said that it was a "temporary increase", Mu Yuesheng felt a flicker of hope. Even if it was a temporary increase, it would be extremely good for her. It was as though it would be a matter of great happiness if a paralyzed girl could stand up and walk for a minute.
Mu Yuesheng took a deep breath and asked, "What's the method?"
Shi Xiaobai stretched out his hands and said, "The method is very simple...massaging!"
"Bul..."
Before Shi Xiaobai was even done, Kevin wanted to shout out the word "bullshit", but he hurriedly held back after uttering it midway. He shut his mouth and gave a stiff smile. Again he recited to himself the "Be Mature Sutra".
Mozzie's eyes immediately lit up and jumped over to Mu Yuesheng and said, "Sister Yuesheng, that's awesome! Lord Shi Xiaobai's massage is very amazing. You already know why I was able to slim down!"
Mu Yuesheng was left speechless. She was wondering how massaging could result in slimming down and also improve one's Mind Expanse.
Are you trying to fool a three-year-old child? That's not right. Even a three-year-old child would not fall for it, right?
Shi Xiaobai noticed Mu Yuesheng's look of disbelief. With a thought and a roll of his eyes, he walked over to Kevin.
"What..."
Noticing Shi Xiaobai walk over to him, Kevin wanted to say in a nasty tone, "what the heck do you want", but after saying the first word, Mozzie caught the corner of his eyes. Again, "Be Mature Sutra" was immediately activated and with a stiff smile, he asked gently, "Is there something you need?"
Shi Xiaobai did not speak but stretched his hand out towards Kevin's shoulder.
That hand appeared very, very slow to Kevin. Every second, there was a voice resounding in his mind, "Quick, hit that bastard's hand away", but immediately another voice would retort, "Be more mature, be more mature..."
Kevin tolerated it, but finally, when Shi Xiaobai's hand touched his shoulder, there was a heavy pinch!
Kevin's eyes stared and immediately tears overwhelmed him.
Tears flowed down his cheeks as though a river was bursting its banks. Kevin hurriedly turned around to wipe his tears, but for some reason, his tears constantly gushed out from his eyes. He did not feel grief at all, and even wanted to curse, but for some reason, he could not control his tear ducts.
Mozzie and Mu Yuesheng were immediately stunned in disbelief. From their point of view, Shi Xiaobai had only pinched Kevin in the shoulder once, and Kevin was already crying.
Was it this painful? Was Kevin actually such a crybaby?
"Do you see that? That is This King's Massage Technique of God!" Shi Xiaobai pointed towards Kevin and said loudly.
That's right. The reason why Kevin cried was obviously because of Shi Xiaobai's Massage Technique of God. This move was called "Divine Massage’s Collapse of Tear Ducts!"
"So it was you!"
Kevin turned around angrily. His face was overflowing with tears, but just as he wanted to curse another word or two, the "Be Mature Sutra" activated once again. Immediately, Kevin whimpered as he turned around to continue wiping his tears. His aggrieved look was rather endearing.
Mozzie chuckled and gave Shi Xiaobai a big thumbs up. "Awesome, my Lord Shi Xiaobai!"
Mu Yuesheng glanced at Kevin. Despite her numerous doubts, she could not comprehend this unscientific scene.
Just a single pinch made a person's tear ducts collapse. Was this even fucking reasonable?
But...
"Can massage truly...improve my Mind Expanse?"
Mu Yuesheng felt a glimmer of longing.
Shi Xiaobai sighed and once again stretched out his evil hand at Kevin. Compared to words, he preferred to prove himself using his actions.
A second later.
"Hahahahahaha...."
Kevin began bursting in laughter with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Mozzie and Mu Yuesheng could not bear to watch. This massage technique was toxic!
"Hurry...hurry up and help me stop it..."
Kevin truly felt like crying.
As Shi Xiaobai looked at Kevin's "miserable" look, he shook his head and sighed. As a person, he was just too soft-hearted. Shi Xiaobai reached out his hands and pressed on Kevin's shoulder twice.
Instantly, Kevin returned to normal as he immediately jumped away. With his hands crossed and holding his shoulders, he looked at Shi Xiaobai as though he was looking at a monster.
Since time immemorial, the East had four sorceries. Kevin had once gasped in admiration for it, but now, from his point of view, Shi Xiaobai's massage was even more terrifying than the four sorceries.
Shi Xiaobai turned and look at Mu Yuesheng. With a shrug of his shoulders, he asked, "How about it? Now, you should understand how powerful This King's Massage Technique of God is, right?"
Shi Xiaobai looked at Mu Yuesheng as he sighed in his heart.
The path to leveling up was truly long and difficult.
Mue Yuesheng was indeed tempted, however, she was still somewhat hesitant. This was because she recalled Mozzie's ecstatic moans from last night. This left a deep mental scar on her with regards to Shi Xiaobai's massage techniques.
"Is it just...a massage of the head?" Mu Yuesheng weakly asked.
Shi Xiaobai nodded and said, "Massaging the temples would do. The longer the massage, the longer the effects."
Upon hearing that only her temples needed to be massaged, Mu Yuesheng secretly sighed in relief. However, when she heard how the longer the massage was, the longer the effects would last, she slightly knitted her brows. She naturally wished that the improvement in her Mind Expanse would last longer, but if she were to be like Mozzie...
"Then...I'll give it a try." Mu Yuesheng sighed.
Compared to the "turmoil" of having too low a Mind Expanse, massaging her temples did not seem like an unacceptable matter.
Mu Yues
heng closed her eyes as though she was going for broke, as though she was a soldier about to rush out into the battlefield.
Shi Xiaobai pursed his lips and had a thought in his mind.
Do you need to go this far? Not only is This King's Massage Technique of God extremely effective, it can also guarantee you extreme comfort. You can’t even help but moan. Especially by massaging the temples, that feeling would definitely be...
Shi Xiaobai reached out his "evil" hands towards Mu Yuesheng's temples.
...

Chapter182 A super, super flirting expert
Mu Yuesheng closed her eyes nervously. When Shi Xiaobai's fingers touched her temples, she felt a slight chill. Shi Xiaobai's fingers were not cold, but her face had heated up slightly.
"Phew."
Mu Yuesheng took a deep breath as she found it hard to clear her mind.
The fingers that had landed on her skin began to suddenly move. Gently, the fingers pressed down, causing her burning head to immediately feel like it was being dunked into a basin of cold water. The cold feeling was beyond control.
Mu Yuesheng drew a gasp as she felt her mental clouds clear up in her mind. The images she imagined in her mind appeared as though a veil had been lifted, making it extremely clear.
Mu Yuesheng immediately wanted to attempt Cogitation.
However, the fingers moved once again without any rhythm before pressing heavily down on her. This pressure caused her mind that was being unraveled to be dunked into mud. A ice-cold feeling that swept her entire body began flowing down like a river through every blood vessel she had. The blood in her vessels felt as though they were boiling, as a heat arose. Her skin instantly turned ruddy, as her body alternated between hot and cold. She found it extremely comfortable, and could not help but...
"Uh..."
Mu Yuesheng could not help but moan once.
"Ah!"
Mu Yuesheng immediately recalled the immoral sounds that came from Mozzie's room last night and instantly panicked. She felt the thumbs that were pressing on her temples move again and immediately pressing down on her. Mu Yuesheng's eyes widened abruptly, as bolts crazily sparked. Her body transformed into an icy-blue stream of light as she rapidly charged backwards.
"Phew...Phew..."
Mu Yuesheng took two deep breaths from being in a state of shock. That massage technique was toxic!
"What's wrong?" Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes and asked curiously.
Mu Yuesheng gaped her mouth, but was unsure as to how to answer. Could she answer—No, your massage feels too good, I can't stand it?
Mozzie was the one who understood Mu Yuesheng's dilemma the most. She immediately ran to her side and said to Shi Xiaobai with a smile, "Sister Yuesheng isn't feeling well. Next time then."
Mu Yuesheng looked gratefully at Mozzie. She finally understood deeply the difficulties Mozzie had felt.
Shi Xiaobai found it somewhat regretful but he did not force it on her. He nodded and said, "Alright, This King will look for you tonight."
"Ah?"
Mu Yuesheng panicked and hurriedly said, "No...there's no need."
Shi Xiaobai asked in wonder, "You don't want to improve your cultivation speed?"
Mu Yuesheng was stunned. She certainly wanted it. It was her wish all along, but the sounds she had produced were just too embarrassing.
Mu Yuesheng's face blushed as she began hesitating. She did not know whether she should mildly reject him, or first agree to it before thinking of a way out.
Mozzie immediately said with a straight face, "Lord Shi Xiaobai, leave this matter for another day!"
Mu Yuesheng hurriedly nodded a few times, as her impression of Mozzie kept improving.
"Alright!"
Although Shi Xiaobai was eager to level up, he did not want to force himself on others. He was just wondering what had happened.
Was his Massage Technique of God causing discomfort?
That didn't make sense. According to the theories instilled into his mind by the system, the Massage Technique of God could stimulate the senses. It should have been very comfortable.
Kevin, who was watching all of this on the side, noticed Mu Yuesheng's embarrassment without any hint of anger, and then Shi Xiaobai, who "acted' perplexed. He secretly took out his cellphone and quickly sent out a message.
Kevin: "Lord God, Lord God, I know who my love rival is. That bastard is a flirting expert. A very, very skilled one. What should I do?"
...
...
[Gaia] Headquarters, in the meeting room for the highest levels, the doors and windows were tightly shut. Very little light penetrated, so darkness filled the entire room, as the repressed atmosphere emanated.
The four Division Ministers were sitting at one of the four corners each. Under the shadows, it was difficult to discern even their bodies.
The gray-robed elder stood in the middle of the room and said softly, "What do all of you think of about this matter."
Silence lasted for a while.
Yama Minamiya was the first to break the silence. He said, "In my opinion, we should not accept it. We should find an excuse to refuse the bringing forward of the battle exchange. The children are still young after all. The mass selection itself is already stressful enough. If they got defeated before the selection during the battle exchange, their confidence would get shaken."
The moment Yama Minamiya was done with his statement, a shrill voice resounded. Chaos said, "Refuse? How do we refuse? [Zeus] has been eyeing [Gaia]'s 'Heritage Series' over the past few years. Refusing the battle exchange is tantamount to giving them the opportunity to pounce over and bite us. Or else, why have we been putting up with the humiliation for a decade?"
The fat pig-like Order said with a heavy voice, "There is definitely no way we can reject them. The battle exchange is our final level of peace on the surface with [Zeus]. Once we reject them, the headlines on tomorrow's Hero Daily will be—[Gaia] refuses exchange battle. As a result of ignominy, [Zeus] has announced to be at odds with [Gaia]."
Madam Ji sneered and said, "That bunch of old fogies at [Zeus] has always been waiting for this chance. Every year, they would appear abnormally enthusiastic about it. And every time, they would do their best, so as to make us shrink back from the overwhelming odds and be the ones to take the initiative to cancel this tradition. Even if we refuse the pushing forward of the exchange battle, they will likely announce to the world that we have refused the battle exchange."
Yama Minamiya gaped his mouth but did not say a word. He certainly knew of the reasons behind it, but was feeling indignation over it.
The gray-robed elder muttered to himself before saying, "It seems like there's no need to discuss on this matter any further. We can only accept the battle exchange, and we must hype it up more than previous years. Tomorrow's training shall be halted for a day. All the rookies are to watch the battle exchange. The residents of Steel City should also be invited. We have to exceed the audience size of past years. Inform the media and contact the reporters. Make this matter reach the headlines and let every citizen in China see it. Even if [Gaia] is now in a slump, our rookies are still filled with courage, and our friendship with [Zeus] remains."
After the gray-robed elder had said this, the atmosphere in the room immediately turned even more depressing.
Yama Minamiya hesitated for a moment but he could not help but say, "Isn't this a bit too...unfair to these children?"
The gray-robed elder immediately said coldly, "No, this is fairness. For the past ten years, every batch's rookies have suffered the same humiliation. What makes this year so special? As long as they remember this humiliation and feel enraged, and finally turn this anger into motivation, that's all that matters."
Yama Minamiya said in a deep voice, "Those children are to participate in the mass selection in two days. If they suffer a terrible defeat in public tomorrow, it will be difficult for them to adjust themselves psychologically. After all, they are still very young."
The other three Division Ministers fell into silence. Although they knew that they could not refuse the battle exchange, they did not want to be as heartless as the gray-robed elder to promote and hype up the battle exchange. After all, each division's rookie representative was the rookie they thought highly of.
The atmosphere reached an extreme state of repression.

Chapter183 Can I borrow your hand to smack faces
The gray-robed elder sighed and said, "They are already considered lucky. Every odd-numbered year, the rookie delegation goes all the way to the battle exchange at [Zeus]'s home ground. There, they suffer the outpour of taunts and booing. At least for this year, the battle exchange is organized by [Gaia]."
Upon hearing this, Yama Minamiya said softly, "Isn't such luck...too depressing?"
The gray-robed elder fell silent for a moment before saying, "It is not impossible to transmute depression into strength. It's been decided then. All of you are to comfort your respective division's children. Let them be mentally prepared that they will likely suffer an abject defeat at tomorrow's battle exchange. However, failure is not terrifying, what is terrifying is remembering the humiliation and ignoring the other useful things."
The four Division Ministers fell silent and nodded.
"Then, the meeting has ended."
...
The meeting amongst the upper echelons of [Gaia] did not go on for long because the decision was destined from the beginning. Shi Xiaobai and company did not wait too long before the four Division Ministers came. Yama Minamiya announced the confirmation of the battle exchange that was to be held tomorrow. He also hinted to the quartet that the exchange battle would have a large audience.
