Mao XinYue shook her head. She actually doesn't know either. "I don't know about it too! It was very weird! I was fighting against them and almost defeated all of them. Oh! Speaking of which... I think I stored the men that I defeated on the artifact that master gave to me. I think master should use them as a furnace!"
Then she felt a glare from her master. "Take them out! How many time should I tell you that I don't need any furnace?!" Mao XinYue gulped when she saw the expression of her master.
"B- But..."
The glare deepened when she said "but". But she steeled herself and said. "If we let them go... We won't know what happened!"
Her master rolled her eyes. "Who said that we should let them go? I just wanted to ask them a question! Whatever... Do it later, I think you should continue your story first!"
Mao XinYue nodded. "Uhh... Oh yeah, the guy that defeated me suddenly grabbed a few bottles of weird colored elixirs and he threw it to me and himself!"
Her master narrowed her eyes immediately. "Elixirs? Is it really an elixir?! What kind of elixir that could be thrown like that? What if it was poison? No.. I think it's definitely not a good thing! Why didn't you say that earlier?!"
"But I didn't feel anything wrong with my body. It didn't do anything to my body. If it was a poison, I should have fainted right now."
She nodded her head and said sternly to her disciple. "But what if it a slow working one? Maybe we should interrogate them now!"
Mao XinYue's mind suddenly became a mess. "R- right away! H- here the artifact..." She gave the artifact to her master with a shaky hand, she didn't want anything bad to happen to the artifact if she is the one who opened it.
Her master could only roll her eyes at this disciple of hers. She grabbed it and deactivated the artifact, that made a bunch of men who have currently covered their testicle in pain. They didn't know anything that happened and don't realize that they moved place from the restaurant to a run-down house. There's also that boy who was very confused. He wondered why did he teleport to this house.
"Quickly... you have to tie them up!" A cold sound could be heard by them and all of their faces darkened when they heard that voice that filled with authority.
Mo XinYue nodded and grabbed any rope. "Yes, Master!"
She immediately tied all of them in place, so all of them won't run away if she and her master tried to torture them for some answers.
"Okay! Let's interroga-" Before her master could finish her words, she saw Mao XinYue's amazing tying skills.
"Umm.. Why did you tie all of them like that? What's wrong with you, XinYue?!" Her master suddenly facepalmed again when she saw her disciple's tying technique.
She just looked at this disciple of hers with a twitching mouth. It was very similar to a bondage scene on some Japanese porn.
Mao XinYue proudly said. "I studied this beautiful rope binding technique from a foreigner! It was called Hojo-jutsu: Kinbaku style, it was a martial art of restraining captives. I have always wanted to show master this technique! How is it, master?"
Her master's face kept twitching when she saw them. "Umn.. Don't really know what to say about this weird technique... Are you really sure that this is a REAL martial art?!"
Mao XinYue innocently nodded her head. "It's really a martial art! Just look at this beautifully tied person! It's definitely an art and an art is also considered as martial art!"
"What kind of nonsense is that?!" Her master almost wanted to slap this disciple of hers who had too much nonsense inside her head.
She frowned because she knew a few things about kinbaku. Kinbaku is the art of erotic bondage, and particularly in the west, this art of erotic bondage is typically called Shibari, which is an art of erotic spirituality, and it's definitely not a martial art.
"F*CK! Who is this pervert that taught my disciple this sh*t?!" She almost exploded in anger, but she held down those emotions.
And then Mao XinYue looked at her master's grossed face and once again tried to convince her master by doing a demonstration and also a presentation about it. "It's really a martial art! Master should look at these knots! If we put the positioning of knots in appropriate places, it could stimulate pressure points on the body, and this is indeed very similar to acupuncture techniques. It could also stimulate qi energy flow and transfer! So if we used this tying technique correctly, theoretically... we could block their qi, making them like a fish outside of it's pond!"
With a twitching face, she just glared at her and said "Whatever... Just quickly finish the task of tying them up! If you kept explaining this nonsense, they will succeed in escaping this building!"
Mao XinYue couldn't understand why is her master so annoyed by it. It was a beautiful and definitely very useful technique to have. She was very excited when she learned it from a foreigner and always dreamt to use it whenever there's some interrogation that her master involved in.
...
"Ahem! Okay... So who is the one who ordered all of you to attack my disciple?!" Said Mao XinYue's master with a cold tone. In the surface, maybe people will say that this woman is very terrifying right now, but inside... She was trying really hard to not frown because they were tied very erotically.
All of them didn't want to say anything to these nutcases! "What kind of prisoners are we?! Are we really a prisoner or we actually are sex slaves to them?! Who the hell invented this ridiculous technique anyways? This is definitely not an art, nor a martial art!"
