The third step is massage, which helps to relax muscles and improve blood circulation, further expelling residual toxins from Hua Baifeng's body.
However, it is not a full-body massage, but focuses on key acupoints on the feet such as Yongquan, Rangu, and Taichong.
This time, although Hua Baifeng no longer needed to wear a tube top and shorts, she seemed even more shy than before.
After all, a woman's feet are a very private area.
"Madam, please forgive me!"
Gu Yu gently removed her silk stockings.
His eyes lit up instantly—
These are feet with a certain charm.
Before, I only caught a glimpse, but now that it's right in front of me, I can see it much more clearly.
He had thought that Lin Xian'er's jade feet were almost flawless, but unexpectedly, Hua Baifeng's jade feet were even better.
She's a natural beauty!
I can't think about it anymore.
Gu Yu tried his best to calm his mind and began to massage with his inner energy...

Gu Yu: "..."
noon.
Afei sat amidst the ruins, holding a small wine jar in his hand, occasionally tilting his head back to take a sip.
These ruins were once the ancestral home of Shen Lang, who was hailed as the "Number One Hero Under Heaven".
Today, the house is long abandoned, only the Shen family ancestral hall remains intact, and occasionally some old friends come to pay their respects.
"hooligan!"
With a call, Gu Yu strode over.
Afei stood up, seemingly surprised: "Brother Gu, what brings you here?"
"I heard from Third Sister that you were here."
"drink wine!"
Ah Fei picked up an unopened wine jar from the ground and handed it over.
Gu Yu shook his head: "I will never drink wine that I didn't buy myself."
Upon hearing this, Afei couldn't help but laugh: "You still remember that?"
"Of course, that's what you said when we first met."
After a few laughs and jokes, Gu Yu took the wine jar, broke the mud seal, and drank several large mouthfuls.
He then wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said with a serious expression, "Afei, we need to rescue someone!"
"Who?"
"Ironclad Armor!"
At this time, Tie Chuanjia was being held in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city. He had not only been acupunctured, but also tied to a tree with ropes.
An old man who was blind looked up at the sky and sighed: "Heaven has eyes. After eighteen years, he has finally fallen into the hands of the Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains. Brother Weng's blood feud can finally be avenged."
The leader of the Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains was Weng Tianjie, a generous man who always helped his friends and was known as "righteous to the heavens".
"Tie Chuanjia, do you know your crime?"
Tie Chuanjia sighed: "Kill me or torture me as you please, but I still have to say that I did nothing wrong to Brother Weng in the past."
"Stop making excuses! If we're going to kill you, we'll do it honorably and honestly, so you'll be convinced of our guilt."
"That's right, we have invited the great hero Zhao Zhengyi to uphold justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone led Zhao Zhengyi into the courtyard.
"Second Brother, Hero Zhao has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the blind old man stepped forward and bowed: "I am truly humbled that I have troubled you, Hero Zhao, with your presence for the sake of a past grievance between my brother and me."
Zhao Zhengyi, with an air of righteous indignation, said, "We are willing to go to great lengths for justice in the martial world, so Mr. Yi, there's no need for you to be so polite."
Everyone stepped forward to greet them.
Immediately, the seventh brother, Gongsun Yu, said, "Hero Zhao, my elder brother has been murdered, and this is my sister-in-law..."
The sister-in-law he mentioned was nicknamed "Female Butcher" and was known as Aunt Weng.
"Master Zhao, this man is none other than Tie Chuanjia, the ungrateful traitor who betrayed his friends for personal gain. Back then, it was he who colluded with the government to betray my elder brother, causing the tragic death of my brother's entire family."
Aunt Weng sobbed, "Master Zhao, look at the scar on my face. That knife almost cleaved my head in two. If they hadn't thought I was dead, I wouldn't have escaped their clutches either."
The crowd chimed in, listing all of Tie Chuanjia's crimes.
Finally, the third brother, Bian Hao, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask Hero Zhao to be a witness today, so that my fellow martial arts friends will not think that the Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains are indiscriminately killing innocent people."
Zhao Zhengyi immediately shouted at Tie Chuanjia, "Tie Chuanjia, I am here. Do you confess your crimes?"
Tie Chuanjia sighed, "I have failed Brother Weng, but I have no regrets even in death!"
Zhao Zhengyi roared, "Fine, you admitted it yourself! Someone as ungrateful and treacherous as you deserves to be torn to pieces to atone for your sins!"
"What a spineless and cowardly Zhao Zhengyi!"
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhao Zhengyi, who had a righteous expression on his face, couldn't help but change his expression and involuntarily shiver.
"Gentlemen, I'm truly sorry, but I've suddenly remembered something important..."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhengyi made a hasty escape.
"Master Zhao, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"
Zhao Zhengyi felt a blur before his eyes, and a figure had already blocked his way.
Who else could it be but Gu Yu?
Immediately after, Afei also appeared in the courtyard.
"Young Master Yu, Young Master Fei, what brings you here?"
Tie Chuanjia looked surprised.
He addressed the two men as "young masters" because he knew they were friends with Li Xunhuan.
Gongsun Yu frowned and said coldly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you two to come uninvited?"
Gu Yu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I came here today precisely because of the massacre at Weng Family Village."
"What?"
Gongsun Yu and his party were taken aback.
"Young hero, are you aware of this bloody incident?"
Gu Yu replied, "Of course I know! Zhao Zhengyi was one of the murderers who participated in the massacre of Wengjiazhuang back then."
"Shut your mother..."
Zhao Zhengyi was furious and almost couldn't help but swear.
He was actually ready to curse, but suddenly a sword was pressed against his throat, startling him so much that the words got stuck in his throat.
The one who drew the sword was none other than A-Fei.
Gu Yu slowly walked over and raised his hand—
"Snapped!"
A heavy slap landed on Zhao Zhengyi's face.
"Snapped!"
He slapped her again with his backhand.
It was clear to the naked eye that the once dignified and "impartial" Zhao Zhengyi's old face had turned into a pig's head in the blink of an eye.
Aunt Weng, Yi Er, Bian Hao, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although they are known as the "Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains," their reputation is far less renowned than that of Zhao Zhengyi, both in the past and present.
Who are these two young men?
One wielded his sword with lightning speed, while the other was so audacious as to slap Zhao Zhengyi in public and even curse him for being cowardly.
Gu Yu said coldly, "Tell me, were you one of the murderers in the Weng Family Village massacre?"
"You...you're insane, old man..."
Before he could finish speaking, Afei's sword tip had already penetrated a fraction of an inch, causing Zhao Zhengyi to shudder in pain and break out in a cold sweat.
This is a vital spot on the throat; if it goes in any further, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Zhao Zhengyi, I'm asking you one last time, remember, this is the last time. Were you one of the perpetrators of the Wengjiazhuang massacre?"
Zhao Zhengyi's face was ashen, his legs trembled like leaves, and after struggling internally for a moment, he finally stammered, "I...I..."
Ah Fei added, "Master Zhao, think carefully before you speak. One wrong word and you'll lose your life."
"Yes……"
Zhao Zhengyi finally uttered those words.
