Chapter 793: Chapter 793: A Maiden’s Admiration
"I’m going to start the acupuncture now. It might hurt a little, please bear with it."
Yang Cheng said softly.
Seeing Jiang Yu nod, he took out the Silver Needle, taking a deep breath, gently twirling it with his fingers, and inserted each needle into the acupuncture points on her chest.
As the Silver Needle entered her body, Jiang Yu’s body slightly trembled, and a muffled groan escaped her lips, with her teeth biting down on her red lips.
"Does it hurt?"
"I... I’m okay."
Jiang Yu’s voice trembled a little.
While performing acupuncture, Yang Cheng used True Qi to examine her internal condition. That Moon Marrow Blood Platinum was currently lying dormant deep in her heart meridian, emitting a faint silvery-red glow.
"Miss Jiang, once your illness is cured, what do you most want to do?"
He spoke casually, using their chat to distract her attention so she wouldn’t be too tense and hinder the extraction.
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, then fell into thought, before softly saying, "I want... to see the sea."
"The sea?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yu’s voice carried a bit of longing, as she eagerly said, "I’ve been frail since I was little, my parents never let me travel far. I’ve always wanted to personally experience the feeling of playing by the sea."
"That’s a good idea. Once you’re cured, let your dad take you to see the sea in Zhonghai. The coastline there is long, and the scenery is beautiful."
Yang Cheng said with a gentle laugh.
"Really?"
Jiang Yu’s eyes lit up, but then she worriedly asked, "After the treatment, can I really travel far? If I get sick midway, then I shouldn’t go. I’m afraid my dad will worry."
"When I say you can go, you can go."
Yang Cheng’s tone was confident and gentle, "Trust me. It won’t be long before you can live like a normal person."
Jiang Yu’s lips slightly curved into a smile, and her previously tense body gradually relaxed, with a touch of shyness she asked, "Doctor, what’s your name?"
"Yang Cheng."
"Is it the ’Cheng’ like in ’morning’?"
"No, it’s the ’Cheng’ like in ’dust.’
Jiang Yu softly repeated the name, secretly remembering it in her heart, then curiously asked, "You look so young, yet your medical skills are so impressive. My dad invited many famous doctors before, but none could cure my illness."
"Age cannot assess one’s skill. I have a particular talent in medicine, which enables me to treat some difficult illnesses."
Unreserved about his medical skills, Yang Cheng began to talk about his journey to fame.
Though Jiang Yu was weak, her voice carried a unique youthful crispness, and the two of them had an engaging conversation.
At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly activated True Qi, pouring it into the Silver Needle.
"Uh—!"
Jiang Yu let out a muffled groan, feeling a sharp pain in her chest, as if something was forcibly stripped from her body.
But that pain only lasted a brief moment, like a boulder pressing on her heart for years finally lifted, and the chest area felt a newfound comfort.
She panted heavily, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, but her face showed a long-lost rosiness, and only now did she feel truly healthy again.
Yang Cheng swiftly removed the Silver Needle, holding a small silvery-red droplet in his palm, which slowly swirled under the True Qi’s wrap.
He cautiously collected the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum into the Jade Bottle, smiling as he said, "It’s done, extracted. How do you feel? Is there anywhere still uncomfortable?"
Jiang Yu, feeling utterly comfortable, gazed at Yang Cheng with bright admiring eyes filled with gratitude.
"No, I feel great. Thank you, Doctor Yang!"
She voice was filled with excitement, her pale face showing a trace of youthful shyness.
The girl’s admiration most often flusters men, Yang Cheng found it disconcerting to have thoughts about such a frail young lady, realizing it was beastly, he quickly dispelled the distracting thoughts and softly said, "Rest here, I’m going to prepare some medicine for you."
He stood and adjusted Jiang Yu’s upper garment, covering her with the quilt, and turned to leave.
"Doctor Yang!"
Jiang Yu suddenly called out to him.
Yang Cheng turned back to see the young lady with a red face asking shyly, "Where can I find you once I’m better?"
He was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I’m in Zhonghai. When you get a chance to visit, I’ll take you to see the sea."
Jiang Yu quietly noted the place, her heart filling with anticipation.
"Okay, sleep now."
Yang Cheng spoke warmly, gently pressing an acupuncture point on her forehead.
Soon after, Jiang Yu felt drowsiness overwhelming her, eyelids growing heavier, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Watching her sleeping peacefully, Yang Cheng felt relieved and quietly left the room.
Outside the door, Jiang Heping was pacing anxiously back and forth. Seeing Yang Cheng come out, he immediately approached and asked, "Mr. Yang, Yu..."
"The Moon Marrow Blood Platinum has been extracted, Miss Jiang is asleep, so please don’t disturb her."
Yang Cheng did not mention the Rabbit Source Qi matter, understanding Jiang Heping’s avoidance of this issue was reasonable.
Seeing his daughter safe, Jiang Heping first let out a sigh of relief, but his face soon turned sorrowful.
He realized the true challenges lay ahead.
Observing his hesitance to speak, Yang Cheng took the initiative, saying, "Patriarch Jiang, I know your concerns. This matter isn’t urgent. Please consider thoroughly, Miss Jiang’s body is still weak, even if Dual Cultivation is needed, it should wait until she has recovered for a while."
"If you really don’t want to treat in that way, you can think of alternatives when the time comes. It entirely depends on your wishes."
Though he desired the Rabbit Source Qi, Yang Cheng would not force anyone, he couldn’t bring himself to hurt a girl.
Jiang Heping remained silent for a long while before sighing deeply, "Mr. Yang, I trust you. Without you, Yu would have been lost long ago. Let me think about it a little longer."
"I understand."
Yang Cheng nodded, taking out a prepared prescription from his pocket and handing it over, "Here is the prescription for the next two months: one dose daily, taken morning and evening. As long as she takes the medicine on time, Miss Jiang will be almost fully recovered in two months."
"Mr. Yang, words cannot express my gratitude. Should there be anything the Jiang Family can do for you in the future, please just ask!"
Jiang Heping received the prescription with both hands, his eyes reddening again, knowing that without Yang Cheng’s intervention, his daughter would have long been lost.
Yang Cheng slightly nodded, saying, "Now that Miss Jiang is out of danger, it’s time for me to take my leave. There are matters in Zhonghai waiting for me."
"Leaving so soon? Please stay a couple more days, at least for a meal. I will immediately arrange for it."
Seeing noon approaching, Jiang Heping felt it was essential to prepare a sumptuous lunch to properly host their lifesaver.
"There’s no need for formalities, Head Jiang. We can eat anytime. What Miss Jiang needs now is rest; staying here won’t be of much help. I’ll return to see her after a while."
