"One minute and fifty seconds left!" Jiang Xue didn't care about anything else and continued counting down the seconds.
"Damn it!" Seeing that his act of feigning helplessness had failed, the seventh-ranked disciple immediately ran towards Jiang Xue. Although only ten seconds had passed, it felt like ten years to him.
As for the seventh-ranked disciple's ordeal, the other disciples pretended not to see it. After all, it wasn't them who got to touch him, so they had no problem with the seventh-ranked disciple touching less; in fact, they were secretly pleased.
The seventh person quickly approached Jiang Xue. Looking at her sitting there, he swallowed hard, then rubbed his trembling hands together. Even after doing this, he hesitated and didn't immediately make a move.
"One minute and thirty seconds," Jiang Xue announced the time, ignoring the seventh person's stunned expression.
Seeing that a quarter of the time had passed, the seventh person felt a pang of regret. He hadn't done anything yet. Realizing that continuing this awkward silence wasn't a solution, he gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Jiang Xue, and grabbed her bare calves beneath her long skirt.
"Mmm!"
Seeing the seventh person actually touch Jiang Xue, some people whispered amongst themselves, casting envious glances at the person in front of Jiang Xue. Others looked at Jiang Xue, wondering if what they imagined would happen. However, they were slightly disappointed, because after the seventh person touched her calves, Jiang Xue only blushed slightly and didn't react much.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, the seventh man breathed a slight sigh of relief, then immediately focused his attention on Jiang Xue's calves. Her thighs were incredibly supple, the smooth skin feeling wonderful to the touch. He gently stroked Jiang Xue's thighs, as if caressing a precious jewel.
After stroking her calves for a while, the seventh man wanted to move upwards. He grabbed the hem of Jiang Xue's skirt and slowly lifted it. He looked at Jiang Xue, and seeing her acquiescence, he grew bolder. He pulled the skirt over her knees, revealing most of her thighs. The seventh man licked his lips, and just as he was about to peek under her skirt, he saw Jiang Xue press the skirt down between her legs with her right hand.
"I can touch you, but don't look around," Jiang Xue bit her lip, warning the man in front of her with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
"Ahem," the seventh man coughed awkwardly a few times, then his hands slid up to her thighs, beginning to enjoy the fullness of Jiang Xue's thighs.
Jiang Xue pursed her red lips and turned her head away. She felt her cheeks burning slightly. The last time she had been intimate with Luo Shan, it was in private. But now, in public, with a group of people watching, a man was touching her thigh. This made her incredibly shy, especially since Ying Huanhuan was recording everything.
"Thirty seconds left," Jiang Xue read out the remaining time again. Two minutes, which used to pass in the blink of an eye, now felt incredibly long to her.
Hearing that there was less than a quarter of the time left, Seventh Man felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't been so suspicious, he wouldn't have only had so much time to touch her. But regret was useless now. He should still touch her for as long as he could. Seventh Man glanced at Jiang Xue's skirt, then looked up at her again, gritted his teeth, and slipped his hands under the seam of her skirt, reaching further inside her thigh.
Jiang Xue felt the seventh man's hand slip inside her skirt, and her face visibly flushed red. However, she merely bit her lip and didn't stop him. The reward she had given him was the freedom to touch her limbs, and although the seventh man's hand was inside her skirt, it didn't break the rules. His hand was still only touching her thigh. Although it was getting closer and closer to her genitals, as long as he didn't touch her there, even if he touched her inner thigh, it wouldn't violate any rules. Therefore, Jiang Xue had no reason to stop him and could only watch as the man's hands roamed freely inside her skirt.
When Jiang Xue felt the hand inside her skirt stop, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. The seventh hand had almost reached the top of her thigh, but thankfully it hadn't touched her genitals. Then, Jiang Xue felt the hand move again. Although it hadn't crossed any lines, it was still caressing her inner thigh, making Jiang Xue's body tremble slightly. Although it hadn't touched her private parts, it wasn't far off. Jiang Xue could feel the caresses on her inner thigh very clearly—a feeling that was like pleasure but not quite clear, like it had touched her, but in fact, it hadn't, giving Jiang Xue a strange, unsettling feeling.
"Wow!"
The disciples below the stage were slightly startled. After all, Jiang Xue was their martial arts school's goddess, and now a man had reached his hand inside her. How could they not be surprised? They could also see that when the hand moved inside her skirt, Jiang Xue's body trembled slightly. This made everyone's eyes burn with desire. They were all wondering if the seventh man's hand had actually touched Jiang Xue's vagina. Although Jiang Xue said she could only touch her limbs, how could they know if he hadn't touched her if they couldn't see?
What if Jiang Xue only said she could only touch her limbs? They thought that even if he had touched her vagina, Jiang Xue wouldn't say anything. Although they couldn't see what was inside her skirt, it was precisely because they couldn't see that their fantasies arose. Unable to confirm the facts, they imagined the seventh man's hands playing with Jiang Xue's vagina inside her skirt. Some even imagined the scene of fingers already inserted into her vagina. Their senior sister was being penetrated and played with by a man right before their eyes, and their breathing became heavy.
"Alright, time's up!" The short thirty seconds passed quickly. As soon as the time was up, Jiang Xue immediately called out and pressed her hands down from her thighs.
The seventh person gave a wry smile, reluctantly pulling his hands out from under Jiang Xue's skirt. He secretly regretted wasting so much time. He stood up and turned around, his hands rubbing together, a smirk playing on his lips, as if savoring the softness he had just touched. The disciples below gave him a look of disdain, but beneath that disdain lay deep envy.
"Alright, next," Jiang Xue called out to the next person. Although she felt a little embarrassed, finishing quickly would end this absurd situation, so she had no choice but to continue. When she looked at the remaining three people, she saw them huddled together whispering, which puzzled her. She wondered what they were talking about.
Upon seeing Jiang Xue looking over, the three separated. One of them, the fifth-place finisher, stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Jiang Xue, and said, "Senior Sister, we have a small request, and we hope you can grant it."
"A request? Just say it," Jiang Xue thought, unsure of their intentions.
The fifth-place finisher bowed and explained their request: "Senior Sister, the three of us hope to receive the reward together. We hope you will grant our request!"
"We hope you will grant our request!" The remaining two also bowed and cupped their hands in a respectful gesture.
Jiang Xue stared in astonishment at the three men bending over below the stage. She never expected them to demand to do it all at once, which made her face flush even more. This meant three men would be playing with her at once! Even though it was only her limbs, it was the first time she had been touched and caressed by multiple men simultaneously. She squinted, pursed her lips, and hesitated slightly. But after thinking about it, she felt it wasn't so bad. What would normally take six minutes could now be finished in two. Finally, after a moment's thought, she nodded to the three men below the stage, agreeing to their request: "Then let's start the timer now."
The three men were overjoyed to see Jiang Xue agree. Upon hearing the start of the timer, they forgot about expressing their joy. The third man approached Jiang Xue and began to move, the fifth and sixth men squatted in front of her, and the eighth man stood behind her. All three placed their hands on Jiang Xue's body, carefully feeling her smooth skin.
