Avatar Online-Chapter 102.1: Massage - Part 1

"Hu… That evil woman…" Liu Ye muttered as he collapsed on the bed in his new single room. Not only was his mind on the verge of collapsing, his body wasn't in a better condition.

Normally he would be fine to run for a few hours and he wouldn't even feel sore but Avi's training killed him. All they did was perform some simple exercises and Liu Ye felt as if he had just run a full marathon.

"Knock, knock, I'm back," Avi announced her arrival with a fake knock on the door and sat on the bed to check on him. "How are you feeling? Do you need some water?"

She was the one who dragged all three to their rooms because they could no longer walk on their own. Who would have known that when the brain was brought to extreme limits, it would use the energy from the body to sustain its activity?

"It's fine, I can get it mysel—"

"Lay down," Avi cut him off as he tried to get up and grabbed the water from the nightstand to give him a drink. "You shouldn't exercise your brain anymore for today. Just relax."

She didn't give him an opportunity to resist and leaned over to help him. Although he was tired, it wasn't to the point where he couldn't lift his finger. He let her lift his head to drink but he still grabbed the bottle from her hand.

The water going down his throat was like heavenly nectar chilling his body.

"Stubborn. Why can't you just let me help you?" Avi questioned as she grasped his hair while gazing into his eyes but he had no strength to fight her.

"I'm much better already. You should go ask the girls if they need help," Liu Ye suggested, pulling her wrist away. "Xu Yue was more beat up than me."

Although Xu Yue was supposed to be the main candidate, Liu Ye's physical strength helped him push his limits further than her. It wasn't something to be proud of since Zhenzhen totally outdid them both.

Even though she felt tired, Zhenzhen was only adding water instead of taking it away. She was rocking three bottles worth by the end of the training while he was still stuck on one.

"I'm actually surprised you three did so well, especially your sister," Avi praised while patting his chest. "I was joking when I said I will stop training you all if you fail. I already promised Katherine I will take care of you."

"I figured it out but I still wanted to do my best. I can actually feel that I have improved already," Liu Ye informed as he clenched his fist. "Not only can I bend water more freely but my body has also advanced."

He initially doubted that workouts would help them improve their brainpower but he was mistaken. He could feel the change each time they refilled and drained their energy.

"Of course, you are trained by the greatest teacher in the world," Avi nodded proudly, her gaze trailing along his tense muscles and shirt sticking to his body. "But it's still just the beginning. If you want to become strong enough to lift a whole pool of water effortlessly then you have to listen to everything I say."

Liu Ye glanced down at her hand that found herself too comfortable and began to scratch his chest with her nails. "I thought teachers can't make advances towards their students?"

Avi also looked down at her hand but she didn't stop rubbing his chest. "I don't know what you are talking about. I am simply checking the tenderness of your muscles so I can prepare for the right massage."

"What massage?" Liu Ye asked as he squinted his eyes. He was about to expose her lame excuse when she got serious and stood up.

"What else? Healing and strengthening massage," Avi replied as if it was obvious. "It will help you recover for tomorrow and you won't get a painful headache."

She gave him one last glance and walked out while pointing at the bathroom. "Go take a cold shower first. The girls should be done with theirs, so I will start with them. We still have an hour till going online so you can take your time."

Even though she sounded honest, Liu Ye couldn't bring himself to fully trust her with his naked body. It would be best for both of them to focus on their training and avoid drama. His life was already packed with enough action.

Liu Ye didn't waste time and somehow dragged himself to the bathroom. It was well furnished but he only gave it a casual glance as he dropped his clothes and cold water streamed down his back.

He could feel the water around him with each breath he took and he fought with an idea to play with it. His mind really needed some rest.

"Hey…"

His eyes were closed when Liu Ye heard a muffled female voice but he unconsciously ignored it. The cold water falling on his head and chilling his body felt too good. Only when something warm touched his back did he shudder and turn around.

It was no other than Avi who watched his naked body with her usual boldness. "I was calling for you but you didn't answer. How long have you showered? It has been almost thirty minutes."

"I think I zoned out," Liu Ye replied as he rubbed his eyes and turned off the water. "I will come out in a second. You can wait outside."

"You think I have never seen a naked man before?" Avi asked unimpressed and threw a towel at him. "Get yourself dry and come to bed."

She acted normal so Liu Ye didn't cause any problems. He wasn't shy about his body, so as long as Avi didn't make it weird, it wasn't an issue.

"Lay down," Avi ordered and she climbed on his back with her bottom barely hovering against his skin. "The girls loved it, so just relax and give yourself to my hands."

Before Liu Ye couldn't even reply, her warm hands sank into his skin and he let out a relaxed breath. Realizing it actually felt good, he stopped worrying and let her do her thing.

It didn't last long though.

"What are you doing…?"
