Chapter 150 | Deep Tissue Massage
After finishing the dishes, Dexter dried his hands and walked into the living room, directly towards Mira. He stopped behind her wheelchair and unlocked the brakes.
Mira’s eyes snapped open. She turned her head and glared at him with slight irritation.
"I’m beginning to think you look forward to this every day."
Dexter snorted lightly. "I’ve touched better."
Mira glare intensified as she her eyes narrowed into a dangerous slit. "What are you trying to say."
Dexter blinked his eyes and sneered. "You know what I mean, brat."
Mira clenched her teeth. "I’m older than you..."
Dexter shrugged. "Yet you act like a naughty kid."
Her eyes were practically blazing with flames as she huffed and stared at Dexter.
Dexter had long since grown immune to her death glares. He gripped the handles of her wheelchair and steered her away from the window and into her bedroom.
He parked the wheelchair beside the bed, then carefully lifted her in his arms and gently lowered onto the center of the mattress, then reached into his spatial storage.
He brought out the new massage oil today and also the a specialized massaging glove.
The glove was incredibly thin and flexible. When he wore it, they fit snugly over his hands.
The glove had multiple vibration settings, At its lowest setting, it produced a gentle hum barely stronger than a phone’s notification.
At its highest, it could deliver deep, penetrating vibrations that reached all the way to the bone.
Combined with his Tier-2 36 Styles Massage Technique, the glove would immediately amplify the effectiveness of the massage.
Dexter reached for the hem of Mira’s shirt, lifted her torso just enough to pull the shirt over her head, then removed her skirt, leaving her in a plain sports bra and sport briefs.
Her skin was pale and smooth, almost looking as though it hadn’t been in the sun at all. Afterwards, he positioned her face-down on the bed with her arms resting at her sides and her face turned to one side against the pillow.
He poured a measure of warm massage oil into his palm and then he began, starting with her shoulders.
Since he was using it for the first time, he set the gloves to its lowest vibration, pressing his oiled fingers into the dense muscle where her neck met her shoulders.
Activating the 36 Styles Technique, mana surged through his finger tips as he followed the pattern of the technique.
At first, the vibration was so subtle that Mira wasnt able to feel it.
Seeing that she wasn’t complaining, Dexter gradually increased the intensity.
The humming grew a bit louder as the vibrations penetrated deeper into her tissue.
At that moment, Mira felt something and her eyes immediately flew open as she muttered.
"What are you doing?" she muttered.
Dexter didn’t look at her and continued with his work.
"I bought a massaging glove. It increases the effectiveness of the massage by roughly 300 percent."
He paused, then added without thinking, "You’ll feel more comfortable and relaxed than before."
The tips of Mira’s ears turned a faint shade of pink.
But Dexter noticed it and he blinked.
’Her blood circulation is certainly improving.’
His hands moved from her shoulders down to her upper back. As he worked the muscles along her spine, her shoulder blades and her lower back.
Mana seeped into every section, stimulating weakened nerves while gently encouraging circulation throughout her body.
He moved to her neck and cradled her head gently in one hand and worked the muscles at the base of her skull with the other.
These were the most sensitive areas, the ones closest to the site of her spinal injury. He increased the vibration slightly and channeled a thin thread of mana through his fingertips, letting it seep into the damaged nerve endings.
Dexter continued down her spine.
From the middle of her back, he carefully worked lower before returning to the muscles surrounding her waist, making sure not to apply unnecessary force directly onto the spine itself.
Without realizing it, Mira’s breathing had become quieter than before.
He worked vertebra by vertebra, pressing and rolling and vibrating the muscles on either side of her spinal column.
The 36 Styles Technique guided his mana into the damaged pathways, gently coaxing the severed nerve endings to remember what it felt like to carry a signal.
He reached the dimples at the base of her spine, where her lower back met her hips. He pressed deep, using the heel of his palm combined with the glove’s vibration to work the thick muscle tissue there.
Once he finished with her back, Dexter moved to her arms.
He stretched each finger individually before working through her palms, wrists, forearms, elbows, and upper arms, ensuring every muscle received equal attention.
Only after finishing both arms did he continue to her legs.
Beginning with her feet, he gently massaged each toe before moving across the soles of her feet. The vibration from the glove combined with the flowing mana to relax muscles that had remained inactive for years.
Slowly, he worked upward through her calves before reaching her thighs, then her upper thigh as the gloves vibrated, hitting deep within her tissue.
"Hmm..."
Mira unconsciously let out a soft breath.
Dexter frowned slightly.
"Too much vibration?"
"...No."
Taking that as confirmation, he continued until both legs had been thoroughly treated.
Finally, he wiped away the excess massage oil with a warm towel before carefully helping Mira turn onto her back.
The moment she faced him, Dexter blinked.
Her cheeks were completely red.
Even the tips of her ears and her neck had turned a noticeable shade of crimson.
She stared directly at him.
"..."
"..."
Dexter tilted his head in confusion.
"What’s wrong?" he asked, his brow furrowing with concern. "Are you running a fever? Your face is completely red."
Mira’s glare intensified.
"You’re asking ’me’ if something is wrong?" she hissed through clenched teeth.
Dexter blinked. "Yes? Because your face is—"
"Nothing. Just continue."
