126: Chapter 126: Treatment for Nangong Qingya

Nangong Qingya's heart raced wildly, her voluptuous chest heaving as her voice trembled slightly, "Senior Ji, are you... truly serious!?"

Her Nascent Soul had been shattered for over twenty years; she had long since fallen into despair, believing she could only live out the rest of her life as a Mortal.

Now that Ji Taichang was telling her there was a way to heal her, how could she not be excited!

Ji Taichang smiled and nodded.

This made Nangong Qingya even more pleasantly surprised and excited. She took several deep breaths and patted her surging chest to calm her emotions.

Just as Ji Taichang was about to begin the treatment, Nangong Qingya bit her lip. "Senior Ji, your intention in treating me was to invest in Xiao Fan."

"But Xiao Fan... he has some misunderstandings and resentment toward you. I fear he might fail your kindness in the future..."

Although she desperately wanted to heal her old injuries.

She also worried that Ji Taichang's efforts would go unrewarded. She didn't want to take his benefits for nothing, which left her quite conflicted!

Ji Taichang smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter. It's the same if Madam repays this kindness."

"Ah? Me?"

Nangong Qingya was stunned for a moment. "But I have lost all my cultivation and am just a Mortal. Even if I can Cultivate again, my future achievements will be limited. How could I ever repay such a debt of gratitude?"

Ji Taichang said, "I heal people based on my mood; whether they repay me or not is insignificant. I don't care how much Madam can give back."

Nangong Qingya's heart was shaken!

[Ding! Nangong Qingya's favorability has increased by 5 points]

[Nangong Qingya's favorability: 35 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

She felt both touched and ashamed. "Even if Senior doesn't care, I feel I don't deserve this. I don't know how to repay you..."

"I am but a Mortal. Why are you so good to me..."

Ji Taichang gently took her soft, delicate hand, his eyes filled with affection as he looked directly into hers. "Does Madam believe in love at first sight?"

Nangong Qingya's eyes widened, and a rosy blush instantly spread across her beautiful face!

Senior Ji... likes me!?

Nangong Qingya's heart pounded. She hurriedly pulled her hand away, truly startled. "I have a humble appearance, am already a married woman, and my beauty has faded with age. I am just a Mortal... what is there for Senior to be interested in?"

Ji Taichang gave a light laugh, his gentle gaze still fixed on her eyes. "True love doesn't require looking at cultivation, wealth, or status. Madam, there's no need to belittle yourself. From the first moment I saw you..."

"Senior!"

Before Ji Taichang could finish, he was interrupted by the shy Nangong Qingya.

She bit her lip and lowered her blushing face, not daring to look at him. "I am a widow with a son. I truly do not dare to aim so high. I ask Senior not to mention this matter again."

"I don't care."

The smile on Ji Taichang's face didn't fade as he said softly, "But since it's hard for Madam to accept all at once, I won't force you."

"Come, let me first treat the injuries and the Strange Poison inside your body."

Ji Taichang's words left her slightly stunned.

She had thought that after she rejected him, he would no longer treat her.

She knew very well how severe and terrifying her condition was. To cure it, even an ordinary Alchemy King would likely have to go bankrupt!

Even though I clearly rejected him, he's still willing to treat me?

He...

Did he really fall for me at first sight?

Nangong Qingya felt like butterflies were fluttering in her heart, a long-lost emotion beginning to stir.

"Open your mouth."

Ji Taichang's voice came, and she subconsciously opened her rosy lips. He then popped a Medicinal Pill into her mouth.

As the pill entered her stomach, she felt her whole body heat up, and the Strange Poison sealed within her began to be drawn out!

Swish!

Ji Taichang flicked his fingers repeatedly, accurately piercing Golden Needle into her body.

Then.

Ji Taichang's warm hands landed on her body, performing the techniques from the Fire Cloud Pill Scripture. With spiritual energy swirling around his fingertips, he moved across the Acupoints of her Heart Meridians while vibrating the Golden Needle to begin neutralizing the Strange Poison!

Since Nangong Qingya had sealed the Strange Poison within her Heart Meridians.

During this process, it was inevitable for Ji Taichang's hands to have intimate contact with her chest. That warm and powerful touch made her delicate body tremble uncontrollably. She bit her rosy lips as her heart couldn't help but throb wildly!

As the treatment progressed.

She felt her whole body burning and growing weak. She subconsciously pulled her jade-like legs together and bit her lip, trying hard to restrain herself for fear of making strange noises.

Wisps of black gas drifted from the Golden Needle.

Nangong Qingya could clearly feel the Strange Poison deep within her Heart Meridians vanishing bit by bit.

Moreover, under the effect of the pill, her damaged Meridians were slowly being repaired and healed!

"Senior Ji really didn't lie to me!"

"He truly is treating my injuries, not taking advantage of me!"

"Even though I'm just a Mortal, even though I rejected him, he's actually willing to go this far for me..."

"What have I, Nangong Qingya, done to deserve such devotion from a Master of both Alchemy and Martial Arts..."

Her heart trembled, and a warm current surged through her entire body.

[Nangong Qingya's favorability: 50 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

...

Two hours later.

When Ji Taichang withdrew the Golden Needle and let out a long breath of turbid air, the Strange Poison that had accumulated in her body for years was completely cleared!

And her damaged Meridians and Dantian were also healing rapidly!

"My... my injuries and poison are really gone?!"

Drenched in sweat, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief and stood up with joy and excitement.

But having just recovered from severe injuries, she stumbled as she stood up and lunged directly toward Ji Taichang.

"Ah—"

Amidst her exclamation, she tackled Ji Taichang to the ground. His head was instantly buried in her towering chest; with a fragrant beauty in his arms, he was almost smothered to the point of being unable to breathe.

"So supple!"

A thought surfaced in Ji Taichang's mind.

...

"Achoo!!"

In a cultivation room in a certain treasure land of Medicine King Valley, Lin Fan suddenly sneezed and woke from his meditative state.

He felt inexplicably uneasy, a wave of groundless irritation washing over him, as if something very important belonging to him was being taken away.

"Strange... why do I have such a bizarre feeling?"

"Whatever, back to cultivation!"

"Ji Aotian... one day I will trample you under my feet! Just you wait!"

Lin Fan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and continue his closed-door cultivation.
