Darryl smiled as he thought, 'You slapped me twice and expected me to help you out?'
He pretended to let out a sigh while he hinted slyly," Miss Katherine, I can help you for sure. But, my body i s aching from all the running-if only there were someone around to give me a massage."
Katherine blushed at his words. How dare he hinted a t her to massage him! She was his teacher for crying out loud! It was inexplicably inappropriate for her to give him a massage.
"It's fine. I still have things to attend to, so I'll make a move." Seeing no response from Katherine, Darryl stood up and left. 1
"Darryl, you..." Katherine stuttered in panic.
She had done her research by reading ancient manuals-there was no way whatsoever to restore her ranking. If Darryl did not help her, she would be an ordinary human for the rest of her life!
Katherine bit her lip in despair. She approached Darryl cautiously and placed her hands on his shoulders, pressing into them gently.
"Darryl, is this comfortable for you?"
"It's alright.” Darryl felt as if he was on cloud nine. He closed his eyes in enjoyment.
He did not expect that a strict teacher like Katherine had a gentle persona.
Darryl stretched out lazily and groaned, "I think my calves are sore as well."
"You..." Katherine held back. She gnawed on her lip and whispered, "Let me help you with it."
She bent down and gently massaged his calves.
Seeing her reaction, Darryl chuckled. He walked to the window and retrieved a porcelain pot on the window sill. Katherine bought them to plant flowers, but there were a few empty ones. 1
He prepared a few ingredients and started to extract the Elixir. He did not fumble since he had done it many times prior.
Katherine stared in disbelief-how could one extract Elixirs this way? You usually had to do it in an elixir producing room, and it had to be done with an elixir cauldron!
However, it seemed that Darryl knew what he was doing. Every step was done with steady precaution.
While she was deep in thought, Darryl turned around and said cheekily, "Miss Katherine, my calves are still sore.” 1
Katherine came to her senses. She approached Darryl and continued to massage his legs.
