Chapter 71: The Journey to Guangzhou II

  After more than an hour, Zhang Chengyuan wiped the sweat from his brow and felt that it was not easy for modern people to purify their bodies and expand their meridians. Although he had done similar things for his four sisters before, that was just laying the simplest foundation, unlike this time when he forced Wen Genying's body to produce a certain amount of internal energy and made her internal energy flow automatically along a fixed track, which increased the difficulty by several levels, making Zhang Chengyuan feel tired.

  While Wen Genying's meridians were forcibly expanded by Zhang Chengyuan's true energy, she should have felt extremely painful, but because Zhang Chengyuan temporarily sealed her pain nerves while opening up her meridians, she only felt a bit numb, as if she had been sitting for too long and her blood was not circulating. After expanding her meridians, Zhang Chengyuan spent a large amount of true energy to repair and nourish the newly opened meridians, so when he released her pain nerves, she didn't feel much discomfort, and even felt a tingling sensation under the stimulation of the automatic circulation of her inner breath, which was quite comfortable. At this point, she became immersed in this feeling and forgot everything else.

  Zhang Chengyuan took a deep breath, and after recovering somewhat, he got up and opened the acupoints that Wen Genying had previously sealed. He then woke her up and taught her the method of circulating and regulating her breath, instructing her on what to pay attention to when practicing qigong. After finishing all this, he had Wen Genying sit cross-legged on the bed once again, to carefully experience the sensation of circulating and expelling air. Meanwhile, he went into the bathroom to take a bath, as his body was covered in sweat - if he didn't clean himself thoroughly, it would be unbearable!

  Fifteen minutes later, when he came out of the bathroom after bathing and dressing, Wen Genying was still immersed in the strange feeling of the flow of air inside his body, his whole body floating, very comfortable. After a while, he opened his eyes to look at Zhang Chengyuan, exclaiming excitedly: "It's really amazing! Brother Chengyuan, what you taught me seems to be internal strength from martial arts novels? Oh no, it seems to be called qigong?"

  Affected by the martial arts culture of Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially the once thriving Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, people in East Asia and South Asia know some Chinese Qigong terms to varying degrees, and even have their own martial arts culture. Korea is no exception. In 2000, Jang Sung-won also played a minor role in a Korean Kung Fu movie "Volcano High".

  "Neigong? Qigong? More or less." These terms, Neigong and Qigong, only appeared in modern times. In Zhang Chengyuan's previous life, they were more commonly referred to as "Tuna", "Diao Xi", "Dao Yin Shu" and so on. Anyway, it's all the same, just different names. Zhang Chengyuan didn't bother to explain clearly to Wen Genying.

  "Brother Chengyuan, will practicing this really help me improve my flexibility faster?" Wen Genying continued to ask, not that he didn't believe Zhang Chengyuan, but it just seemed too miraculous.

  Zhang Chengyuan said, "Practice for a few more days and you'll know its benefits. Remember to stick to it every day for the next two months, once or twice a day, no less and no more. Later on, I'll check on you. Now, go take a bath first. The undergarments in the bathroom are prepared for you." Because of the large amount of impurities being discharged from his body at once, Wen Genying didn't smell very good now. Fortunately, he had taken off his outer clothes beforehand; otherwise, if he suddenly changed into new clothes and went home, it would have raised unnecessary suspicions among his family members.

  Wen Genying lowered his head to sniff the smell on himself, and immediately furrowed his brow, scolding: "It's all your fault, Zhang Chengyuan!" Without waiting for Zhang Chengyuan to refute, he hastily rushed into the bathroom, closed the door, and soon the sound of rushing water was heard.

  Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and thought: "This little girl is too simple, and she's not afraid that I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing."

  After about half an hour, the bathroom door opened a little, and Wen Genying poked his head out, looking at Zhang Chengyuan with a timid expression: "Chengyuan brother, help me pass my coat to me."

  Zhang Chengyuan said strangely: "Can't you come out and take it yourself?"

  Wen Genying listened, stunned for a moment, and then said in a huff: "It's all because of those few sets of underwear you got, they're all too...too revealing! I don't even dare to wear them out. Hurry up and hand me some clothes." The three sets of underwear in the bathroom were bought by the hotel's female attendant at Zhang Chengyuan's request earlier, but since he didn't give clear instructions beforehand, the attendant ended up buying adult-style lingerie that looked very sexy instead of the T-shirt-like style for young girls. Wen Genying reluctantly picked a set with more fabric to change into, but there were still many parts that weren't covered, and she didn't dare wear it out for Zhang Chengyuan to see. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, although she didn't think Zhang Chengyuan had any ill intentions, but also felt a bit resentful towards him for not considering the consequences carefully, which made her feel so embarrassed now.

  Zhang Chengyuan was perplexed, but still handed over Wen Genying's outer garment as instructed. Wen Genying's hand quickly stretched out, grabbed the clothes and immediately retracted, covering the door and putting them on right away. In this brief moment, Zhang Chengyuan's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Wen Genying's current undergarments, which were surprisingly similar to those worn by Li Xiaoli. With a sudden realization, he understood why the normally well-behaved and sensible Wen Genying had suddenly become angry earlier.

  Zhang Chengyuan thought to himself: "Could it be that the service staff thought I was bringing someone here to open a room, and therefore prepared underwear for mature women? Alas, if only I had known earlier, I should have checked first."

  At this time, Zhang Chengyuan, although seemingly calm on the surface, was a bit embarrassed in his heart and suggested finding a Western restaurant to have a big meal as an apology. However, Wen Genying, who was frugal by nature, disagreed and said she would take Zhang Chengyuan to a restaurant they often went to at home to eat the local delicacies of Gwangju. Of course, the bill would be paid by Zhang Chengyuan.

  Since the purpose of this trip to Gwangju had been achieved, Jang Sung-won didn't plan on staying overnight, so he packed up and checked out of his hotel room. Then, with Moon Geun-young navigating, they arrived at a Korean restaurant that looked quite quiet.

  After walking in, I found that the restaurant was quite spacious and had a good atmosphere. At this time when the sun was still shining on the horizon, there were already many people seated inside, some eating happily, others chatting while waiting for their food to be served. Everyone was enjoying their meal while greeting each other, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

  When Wen Genying walked in, everyone noticed her arrival and waved to greet her, but didn't rush over to disturb her. Wen Genying also responded warmly, calling out "Uncle", "Auntie", "Brother", "Sister" with great enthusiasm. It's clear that the customers here are quite familiar with Wen Genying and don't treat her like a big star, but rather as a well-behaved, diligent, and accomplished junior. The reason for this might be that they've watched Wen Genying grow up from a young age and are too familiar with her to have any thoughts of chasing after stars.

  It was Zhang Chengyuan who followed Wen Genying in, and people's eyes immediately turned to him. There was no way, with his tall stature, handsome face, and outstanding temperament, he would attract everyone's attention wherever he went, and now he was following Wen Genying in, how could people not be curious?

  It was almost instantaneous, and some young women recognized Zhang Chengyuan, whispering to their companions: "Is that really Zhang Chengyuan? Am I dreaming?" "He's even more handsome than on TV!" "He's so tall, with such a great figure!"... Although there were many whispers, perhaps out of respect for Wen Genying, no one came over to disturb them.

  But men are more concerned about national sister Wen Genying, and topics also revolve around her.

  "This handsome young man is probably Genying's boyfriend, and he seems to match our Genying quite well."

  "How can you just look at appearance? In my opinion, character is more important. Who knows what his true face looks like?"

  "Indeed, indeed, Genying is still young and not in a hurry to find a boyfriend. We need to take good care of her for now. You few guys, quickly go online and check his background, see what kind of person he is."

  ……

  Zhang Chengyuan and Wen Genying's dinner ended hastily in this strange atmosphere, fortunately Zhang Chengyuan didn't have any evil thoughts towards Wen Genying, otherwise he would have been attacked by the group. The charm of Guomin sister is really extraordinary! To avoid unnecessary trouble, during dinner Zhang Chengyuan didn't even dare to say a warm word, nor did he dare to make any intimate moves. On the other hand, Wen Genying was still laughing and talking, without losing her pure and lovely nature.
