Vol. 1 - Chapter 46 - Did Not Peek
The moment Ning Yechen uttered these words, everyone fell silent.
“N-now?” Qi Yuan’s face flushed crimson as she lowered her head shyly.
Even though she knew that was not what Ning Yechen meant, she felt embarrassed about undressing in front of a man she barely knew.
Luo Ruying frowned slightly and stared intently at Ning Yechen, clearly unhappy.
Only now did it dawn on Ning Yechen that what he said sounded inappropriate. With Luo Hongye in his arms, he hurried to Luo Ruying’s side and explained, “Dear, don’t misunderstand. I’m just going to use acupuncture to help her unblock her meridians.”
“Of course, I know. It's not like I’m misunderstanding anything.” Luo Ruying harrumped and turned her head.
Ning Yechen fell silent.
She was clearly angry.
“Dear, are you angry?” Ning Yechen smiled and placed his shoulder against hers.
“I'm not angry. I’m not one of those petty and unreasonable women.” Luo Ruying narrowed her eyes at Ning Yechen, took Luo Hongye from his arms, and said lightly, “Aren’t you going to unblock her meridians? Go on then!”
Seeing Luo Ruying’s annoyance, Ning Yechen inexplicably felt happy. He responded to her and walked over to Qi Yuan. “Miss Qi, come with me.”
Then Ning Yechen took the lead and stepped into the house.
Blushing, Qi Yuan hesitated briefly before following behind him.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Regardless of whether Ning Yechen could treat her damaged meridians, she had to give it a shot!
This might be her last chance to become a cultivator!
After entering the room, Qi Yuan stood still awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Ning Yechen sat on the bed. “What are you waiting for? Come here, turn around, and take off your clothes.”
“Oh…” Qi Yuan nervously climbed onto the bed and slowly took off her clothes with her back facing Ning Yechen.
It was incredibly awkward for her to undress with her back facing a man.
But for the sake of embarking on the path of cultivation, she suppressed her shyness and undressed to reveal her back.
Compared to Qi Yuan’s shyness and awkwardness, Ning Yechen was calm and unaffected.
Even looking at her flawless back, he did not react in the slightest or show any interest.
In terms of figure and appearance, Qi Yuan could not compare to Luo Ruying, so how could he be interested?
He had seen many women far more attractive than Qi Yuan. The only woman who could attract him was his wife.
Ning Yechen took out a set of silver needles, opened them, casually retrieved a few, and swiftly applied them to Qi Yuan’s back with great accuracy.
In fact, it did not matter if Qi Yuan took off her clothes or not. Using his eyes alone, he could clearly see every acupuncture point, meridian, and elixir field in people’s bodies, even through clothes.
He told Qi Yuan to remove her clothes to avoid Luo Ruying’s suspicion.
Accurately performing acupuncture with the patient's clothes still on would seem unbelievable and arouse suspicion.
In fact, he did not even need to use silver needles. Just using his fingers was enough to treat Qi Yuan’s damaged meridians.
He performed acupuncture treatment to ease Qi Yuan’s and Luo Ruying’s concerns.
After Ning Yechen inserted a single silver needle into Qi Yuan’s back, she let out a soft moan from the slight pain. “Ahhh…”
Meanwhile, outside the room…
Luo Ruying, with Luo Hongye in her arms, was standing at the door. She was clearly unhappy.
She inexplicably felt upset!
Luo Ruying turned to look at the room hesitantly.
She wanted to look inside the room, but she felt it was wrong.
As a dignified Empress from the Heavenly Realm, it was inappropriate for her to peek.
It was just medical treatment and no cause for concern.
“Mommy, what are they doing inside?” Luo Hongye raised her head and looked at Luo Ruying.
“Daddy is treating her injuries.” Luo Ruying smiled gently at Luo Hongye.
In the next second, a soft moan came from the room.
Luo Ruying’s eyes widened uncontrollably. She darted to the room’s door, leaned against the window, and tried looking inside through the crack in the window.
She was simply curious about what was going on! She was just concerned!
This was definitely not peeking! She was merely taking a look! Just a single look!
Luo Hongye lay in her arms, blinking innocently, clearly puzzled. What is Mommy doing?
On the bed in the room, every time Ning Yechen applied a needle, Qi Yuan sensed a faint tingling pain and a warm sensation on her back, so she couldn’t help moaning.
Ning Yechen felt a little awkward about continuing the treatment.
“Miss Qi, please stop making strange noises. Otherwise, my wife might misunderstand. Also, relax,” Ning Yechen said with a silver needle in hand.
He could already sense a pair of eyes staring fixedly at him from the window.
Even though Luo Ruying mistook him for a mortal, any human would be able to detect her blatant stare!
However, she did not seem to realize it.
“I’m sorry. I can take it! Please continue!” Qi Yuan’s face was red as she covered her mouth as tightly.
She also knew that she sounded weird!
She could not help herself. With every needle application, she could feel slight pain briefly, followed by waves of warmth and an indescribably good sensation.
She was doing her utmost to retrain herself.
Ning Yechen felt that if he continued applying acupuncture, his wife would break open the door and charge in.
So he picked up the remaining silver needles and applied them on Qi Yuan’s back with great accuracy.
“Hahhh~!”
Despite clenching her mouth, Qi Yuan could not control her voice. Her face twitched slightly as she moaned and leaned against the bed.
Moments later, Qi Yuan felt better and noticed that Ning Yechen had removed the silver needles in her back, put them away, and left the bedside.
“Big Brother Ning, aren’t you going to continue? I can still take it!” Qi Yuan looked over anxiously.
She assumed Ning Yechen had stopped because he was worried she could not take it anymore.
Ning Yechen smiled calmly. “Continue? It's over.”
“Huh?” Qi Yuan looked puzzled. Then she tried to circulate the spiritual energy in her body.
Spiritual energy was able to flow through her system unhindered. It no longer felt blocked and uncomfortable!
Her meridians had recovered completely!
She could not believe it!
Qi Yuan opened her eyes in joy and disbelief.
Her meridians were okay now!
Her family had spent vast amounts of money to hire well-known physicians. Unfortunately, no one could treat her. But the man before her treated her with just a short acupuncture treatment!
The speed was inconceivable! All it took was one acupuncture treatment for her to recover.
Barely after the man started, the treatment was finished! It was unfathomably fast.
