Whether this glass jar was really made of special material was something Lin Yi wasn't sure about; he only felt that it indeed seemed more exquisite than the ones he'd seen on Blue Planet, and there were some enigmatic patterns on it, that didn't seem to be simply stolen from Blue Planet by the System.
Moreover, considering how powerful the System was, even if it had stolen a few jars, it would hardly break a sweat with one more magical modification.
Lin Yi picked up one of the jars, snapped his fingers and a flame quickly flickered from his fingertip. Just as he was getting ready to preheat the jar, his attention was suddenly drawn to the scene in front of him.
Poseissi was undressing.
Though it was called undressing, her movements were more like peeling. Sitting with her back to Lin Yi, she first gathered her long white hair to the front and then began unfastening her clothing from the chest before slowly peeling it downwards from her shoulders.
"I've always been curious, how old are you this year, Senior Lin Yi?"
As Poseissi asked, she peeled her clothes down to her waist. Her back appeared very even and fair, her shoulders slender and smooth with beautiful curves.
Lin Yi hadn't seen such a scene with Puppet Poseidon; he was very proper, at most performing a few embracing actions on the puppet.
Why is she suddenly asking about my age?
Lin Yi, his expression calm, heated the inside of the glass jar with the flame and said, "I can't quite remember, but I do recall that the last time I came to Soul Land, Aquipeia Forest didn't exist, Sea God's Island hadn't yet surfaced from the sea, the Dragon God was undergoing its hundred-thousand-year tribulation, and only soul beasts roamed the whole continent... How many years ago was that?"
Poseissi's hand, holding her clothing, suddenly trembled.
Sea God's Island... hadn't surfaced from the water yet?!
The Sea God's guest elder site hadn't appeared, which means at that time, Poseidon wasn't the Sea God yet!
My goodness, how many years ago was that?!
It seems that Lin Yi's Ocean Affinity might be higher than Poseidon's, and it was not without reason—Poseissi was deeply shocked by the thought, to the point where her body became rigid.
So the guy behind me is an old antique. I guess he must see me as no different from a little kid who's still wet behind the ears, right? With this thought, Poseissi felt the embarrassment from her exposed skin fade significantly.
Lin Yi smiled, enjoying the perks of high status—that people believed anything he said, because subconsciously they thought someone of high status wouldn't tell such lies out of disdain.
But would I disdain? I lie through my teeth!
After heating the glass jar with the flame for a moment, Lin Yi placed the first jar on Poseissi's back.
Her brows furrowed slightly, feeling a burning sensation on her back.
Lin Yi watched as the scene inside the jar unfolded; Poseissi's fair skin was gradually sucked in, turning slightly red, and soon a wisp of purple-black smoke emerged, violently colliding within the glass jar.
This made Lin Yi's eyes widen instantly.
There really are impurities? Damn, the System is for real?!
Lin Yi had thought the cupping was just a ruse…
He asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
Poseissi frowned, "It feels hot, tight, and why do I hear some kind of collision sound?"
"Perhaps you should take a look inside."
Poseissi turned around, and since the jar was placed high on her back, she could see it as soon as she did.
"What is this?!"
She saw the scene inside the jar and was dumbfounded.
Originally, Poseissi was covering her chest with her arms, but when she turned, Lin Yi could still see glimpses of snowy whiteness. However, being the gentleman he was, he naturally shifted his gaze.
This angle, I've grown tired of watching puppets.
"So this is impurity, how ridiculous. I've never felt this in me, even to the point that I once thought I had a perfect body."
Poseissi said with self-mockery.
Indeed, it is perfect. Lin Yi watched from behind as Poseissi's slender waist and beautiful back displayed curves so graceful that even the best painter would struggle to capture with a brush. One could tell that embracing her would be very comfortable.
He continued to heat the second jar and then sealed it on.
Suddenly, a faint mist filled the air, and all eight jars were full of vapor. Lin Yi hadn't expected this spectacle and could only guess that it was probably related to Poseissi's innate water attributes.
"Only the last two left, kneel up for me."
Poseissi hesitated, then nodded. She kneeled and rose, peeling her clothing further down, though she kept her body pressed low, probably to avoid Lin Yi seeing something he shouldn't.
Lin Yi placidly continued to heat the last two jars and then attached each in turn. The sight afterwards... had a different kind of beauty, so much so that he had to look away, lest trouble arouse.
Poseissi turned her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, "How much longer will it take?"
"Very soon, two minutes."
The entire cupping process had taken only a minute. Lin Yi was very skilled, and he began to suspect that he might have undergone a cupping therapy training course at some time.
After two minutes, Lin Yi removed the jars, "Pop!"
With each jar he removed, he immediately used fire to burn off all the impurities inside. He wasn't sure if it was necessary, but that's indeed what the System required him to do.
Lin Yi then took out a purple handkerchief given to him by Bi Bidong as a spare, and gently and carefully wiped Poseissi's back. This suddenly plunged the kneeling Poseissi into a mess of anxious thoughts.
It was embarrassing, still.
"Give it to me, I'll wash it and return it to you as it was."
Once he'd finished, Poseissi snatched the handkerchief from Lin Yi's hand and swiftly grabbed her clothes.
Her back was imprinted with five pairs of red dots, resembling a seven-spotted ladybug. However, these marks would fade on their own, and being more than human, they'd likely disappear even faster for Poseissi, and her back would be smooth and fair once again.
Lin Yi opened Poseissi's panel.
"This is your current panel attribute value."
After getting dressed, Poseissi turned around to look at the panel, following Lin Yi's direction. She saw her attribute values.
Ten jars amounted to a hundred percent bonus. Now, except for the luck value, all other numbers on the panel had been doubled.
This was akin to doubling her own strength.
Poseissi looked at this in surprise, feeling that aside from the embarrassment, the reward was fabulous!
The visual effect of all values doubling was just too striking. Not only that, Poseissi was already feeling the changes in her body.
The most direct and obvious was the feeling of her soul power doubling.
Lin Yi: "When you attack later, you'll see the effect."
"Mm-hmm! By the way, can I have those jars?"
Poseissi suddenly asked Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at the jars on the ground and hesitated, "They are one-time consumables and won't work again."
"I want to keep them as a collection... and my reward was the jars, wasn't it?"
