Xu Wanqing gently held her fair, jade-like hand and carefully applied the band-aid to Xu Xiangbei’s wound. As she touched Xu Xiangbei’s strong, steadfast shoulder, she felt a flutter in her heart, and an imperceptible blush appeared on her face, adding to the subtle atmosphere.
Xu Xiangbei felt his thoughts stir, barely managing to calm down, reluctantly watching the jade hand leave his body.
He put on his clothes and shirt, a serious expression on his face: "Go change your clothes, wear something lighter, preferably a short shirt, so I can give you treatment!"
Hearing him say this, Xu Wanqing’s face turned even redder. She bit her silver tooth, hesitating, clearly wanting to say: Do you still want to take advantage of me?
"Don’t overthink it, the thinner clothes make it easier to perform acupuncture, and it’s more effective for the treatment. Don’t have other thoughts, just treat me like a doctor!" Xu Xiangbei explained with a smile, seeing the look on her face and knowing what she was thinking. Even though he said this, who knows what other thoughts he might have?
Not long after, Xu Wanqing appeared in blue and white shorts, revealing her fair, jade-like, and long legs, wearing a light pink-green thin shirt showing her perfect figure to the fullest. However, the clothes and pants were slightly too big, and she still wore her usual pair of black high heels, exuding a complete queenly demeanor.
"I saw you were wearing a skirt earlier; why did you change into these clothes now?" Xu Xiangbei was a bit curious, as he hadn’t seen Xu Wanqing bring any extra clothes, especially when they were at Qian Duoduo’s house.
"It seems these belonged to the original hostess here. She had plenty of clothes she hadn’t worn, and the maids here brought me some as spare clothes. Although they are a bit too big, they can barely fit. The materials are all top-notch, and most are luxury brands, which barely match the temperament of this Miss!"
Xu Wanqing’s tone and demeanor were somewhat different from before; she had become more mature, exuding strong confidence.
"True, that woman deserved it; if the clothes aren’t worn, they’re wasted, but they suit you quite well!" Xu Xiangbei laughed, carefully observing and critiquing Xu Wanqing.
"The woman you’re talking about, is she Elder Qian’s wife?" Xu Wanqing asked, a bit curious. She vaguely heard Xu Xiangbei mention something about it before, but she wasn’t very clear.
Xu Xiangbei had to explain the whole story to her again.
"She truly deserved it, trying to conspire and murder for money!" Xu Wanqing’s face showed disgust.
"Because the clothes were new and she hadn’t worn them; otherwise, I wouldn’t want to wear them!" she said, feeling a strong urge to take the clothes off.
"As the saying goes, the most venomous is a woman’s heart!" Xu Xiangbei sighed along with her, but upon seeing Xu Wanqing’s fierce gaze, he quickly changed his tone: "Of course, that’s only a small part; someone like Miss Xu here is naturally beautiful. She is not only gentle and pretty but also understanding and, most importantly, kind-hearted. She wouldn’t be like some others, gold and jade on the outside but rotten inside, with hearts like snakes and scorpions!"
Xu Wanqing rolled her eyes at him: "Stop beating around the bush. Don’t I know what’s on your mind? Get on with the treatment!"
"At your command!"
"Can you hurry up?" Xu Wanqing tightly closed her eyes, her face slightly flushed, and dared not look at Xu Xiangbei.
"I’ll start the acupuncture right away, so relax!" Xu Xiangbei took a deep breath and took out the silver needle.
He pressed one hand on Xu Wanqing’s belly button, showing no sign of letting go, pressing so that Xu Wanqing shuddered all over, and her face turned as red as an apple.
He then held the needle in his left hand and swiftly inserted it below the navel into the Qi Sea, Guan Yuan, and Zhong Ji points.
The Qi Sea, Guan Yuan, and Zhong Ji points are all vital acupoints. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the house of the kidney; if the waist is not in good condition, it’s like the kidney is not good. If there’s long-term back pain, it might sometimes be caused by kidney deficiency. Therefore, when nourishing the kidney, one should start with the waist. When needling, the Qi Sea and Guan Yuan are key points.
Meanwhile, the right hand transmits Inner Strength directly into the belly button, which is what traditional Chinese medicine often refers to as the Shen Que point. This is one of the most important acupoints in a human’s body. Lao Zi’s "Tao Te Ching" states: Profoundly subtle, mysteriously and marvelously intricate; it is the gateway of all wonders.
This gateway of all wonders refers to the Dantian, which implies the Shen Que point. People cultivating the Tao begin with opening the Qi Sea of the Dantian from the Shen Que point. It can be said to affect the entire body. It governs the person’s body and all major acupoints. Why is it called the Shen Que point?
It is said that when transformations are unpredictable, they are considered divine. Que refers to a crucial area, and the acupoint aligns with the navel. It’s the location of birth, connecting the umbilical cord to nourish the fetus, thus also named "navel tie". It’s called Shen Que because the fetus relies on this palace gate to receive nutrition, infusing the entire body, gradually causing the body to develop unpredictably. Hence, it’s named Shen Que.
Xu Xiangbei transmitted True Qi from here, able to circulate through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians whole body. It’s very close to the uterus here. He knew Xu Wanqing had cold energy in her body, gathered in the abdomen and clinging to the uterus. If not removed in time, she would certainly develop uterine cancer in the future and wouldn’t live past 40.
Next, he pulled out the needle again and immediately inserted it into the water points above the Shen Que: Water, Xiawan, and Jianli, the three major acupoints. These regulate the stomach and intestines. Qi can flow through the intestines, and Xu Xiangbei aimed to push the cold energy into the small intestine, finally releasing it from the end of the intestine.
His left hand worked like lightning, creating a series of afterimages in the air, quickly removing the needle, directly inserting it into Xu Wanqing’s Huai Rou, Tianshu, Shuidao, Guilai, and Qichong points.
These acupoints are closely related to women, governing menstrual irregularities, endocrine disorders, menstrual pain, pregnancy, etc. Xu Xiangbei performed acupuncture on these acupoints to expel the cold energy from the uterus in the lower abdomen.
At this moment, Xu Wanqing only felt her whole body burning, with much heat constantly pouring into her lower abdomen, and she seemed to be placed over a fire, dripping with fragrant sweat.
Xu Xiangbei tried hard to control himself, but his eyes inevitably fixated on the delectable scene before him. Unavoidably, he had to lift the cover beside them, directly covering Xu Wanqing’s unfed parts with it. Otherwise, he really feared he would lose control and instantly turn into a hungry wolf, pouncing on her.
Moreover, this wasn’t even the most fatal; the most lethal was yet to follow.
At this moment, Xu Wanqing felt like she was in her mother’s embrace, returning to the time when she was a baby, thinking she was surrounded by amniotic fluid, which was utterly comfortable and warm.
She shivered all over, waking up, her face turning incomparably rosy; she knew she had made a strange sound, immediately pulling the quilt, covering her face, and not daring to look at Xu Xiangbei.
In this state, she entirely resembled a shy little girl, and Xu Xiangbei dared not look any longer. Otherwise, he feared sinking into it, unable to control himself, which would lead to uncontrollable events afterwards.
He quickly removed the needles and took a moment to regain his composure: "I’ve helped push some of the cold energy out. Maybe after a few more treatments and with some additional medicine, you can be fully cured!"
"Thank you!" came a muffled voice from under the covers.
"Pff, pff..." The suppressed air brought a series of fart noises.
Xu Xiangbei burst into laughter; he knew exactly what was happening.
He had directed the cold air from Xu Wanqing’s lower abdomen into the intestines, which could ultimately only be expelled by passing gas, with the most direct method being farting.
At this moment, Xu Wanqing wished she were dead, having lost all face in her life. She directly wrapped herself completely with the blanket, not daring to make a sound, not knowing why it happened, but she just couldn’t control it.
"This is my room!" Xu Xiangbei said solemnly.
Then came a murmur, veiled and stammering, from under the blanket: "You can sleep in my room, there’s nothing much anyway!"
Xu Xiangbei knew he couldn’t tease any further, or else any girl would break down. He left laughing.
After a long while, Xu Wanqing crawled out from under the blanket, her whole body sweating, her face red like a monkey’s butt, very pretty. She looked nervously outside the door and then lay back down, tossing and turning, but couldn’t fall asleep.
