Chapter 24 - 24 24 Upper Body
24: Chapter 24 Upper Body 24: Chapter 24 Upper Body Time ticked by, second by second.
Lying on the bed, Lin Qingxuan felt as if each day lasted an eternity.
When had she ever been in such a state before a strange man?
If it hadn’t been for her best friend Zhao Bingqian constantly encouraging and comforting her at her side, she would have wanted to bite her own tongue and end her life.
Finally, after ten minutes, Ye Haochuan released her acupoints and pulled out the eighteen silver needles from her back.
Lin Qingxuan instantly felt her stiff body regain movement and hurriedly grabbed the thin blanket on the bed to cover herself.
Remembering the embarrassing situation she had just been in, her face burned with shame, wishing she could just crawl into a crack in the ground.
“Alright, it’s finally done.
Miss Lin, your illness won’t recur in the short term, so you can rest assured.
I will quickly find a way to cure your illness completely.”
After speaking, Ye Haochuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Administering acupuncture to Lin Qingxuan, he had used quite a bit of his Longevity True Qi and now felt exhausted, needing to return to his room to recuperate.
“Thank you,” murmured Lin Qingxuan, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s, still turning her head away.
Ye Haochuan knew full well she was shy, remembering how just moments ago he had seen the full beauty of her body.
He felt a fiery warmth in his heart that was indescribable, and with a slight smile, he said, “Miss Lin, there’s one thing I need to find out about you…”
Before he could finish, Zhao Bingqian stood up and interrupted, “Hey, hey, hey, uncle, have you finished checking her out?
If you’re done, then quickly leave, our Qingxuan needs to change clothes.”
Ye Haochuan was speechless.
Wasn’t he just trying to understand the condition?
Was there really a need to rush him out so urgently?
Besides, she wasn’t without a blanket to cover her, so what was the big deal if she didn’t change clothes right away?
“What’s the rush?
I just have one question to ask, and after that, I’ll naturally leave.”
Having said that, Ye Haochuan ignored Zhao Bingqian and gravely addressed Lin Qingxuan, “Miss Lin, what is your birth date?
Also…”
Zhao Bingqian couldn’t bear to listen and interrupted, “Please, uncle, if you want to get close to our beautiful Miss Lin, you don’t need to go about it this way.
Let me tell you, that move is way too cliché.”
Lin Qingxuan’s face was buried in the thin blanket from the shame, and she too had not expected this boy to start by asking these things.
“Please, who said I was trying to pursue Miss Lin?
I want to understand her exact birthdate for her condition, understand?” Ye Haochuan glared at Zhao Bingqian.
“Yeah right, who knows if that’s really what you’re thinking,” retorted Zhao Bingqian with a pout.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, yet for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
She had stolen a glance at Ye Haochuan just a moment ago.
He was tall, handsome, and had an air of positivity about him, especially those eyes, which were like black gems, causing her heart to flutter.
Though she did not share the traditional belief that if a man saw her body, she should commit herself to him, how could she, having never experienced romance, not be touched by his good looks?
“Miss Lin, I’ll ask one more time, I hope you can tell me your birthdate so I can determine the cause of your illness,” Ye Haochuan said earnestly.
Hearing this, Lin Qingxuan bashfully murmured her birth time.
“You were born at noon?
In that case, the situation is serious…” Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, talking to himself.
Both Lin Qingxuan and Zhao Bingqian, the pair of best friends, were taken aback.
Unhappily, Zhao Bingqian asked, “Uncle, why can’t you just speak plainly?
You keep leaving us hanging.”
Ye Haochuan laughed and waved his hand, “Forget it, it’s no use telling you guys.
You can do as you please, I’m going out.”
“Scram.” Zhao Bingqian raised her middle finger in dissatisfaction.
Bang!
As soon as the door closed, Lin Qingxuan quickly sat up straight, her body tense as she asked, “Qianqian, who is he?
A doctor?”
Zhao Bingqian giggled, “Why?
Are you already eager to dig into the background of your future boyfriend?”
Lin Qingxuan flushed with embarrassment, “How could that be?
I just wanted to clarify if he really is a doctor.
Just now he… oh gosh, it was so embarrassing.”
Zhao Bingqian laughed, “Don’t worry, Qingxuan, he is a genuine doctor with real skills.
You know what?
The way you were acting just now was really scary, you almost strangled me to death.”
Lin Qingxuan looked confused, “I almost strangled you just now?”
That was when Zhao Bingqian described her frantic episode.
Lin Qingxuan couldn’t believe it, “My goodness, what happened?
Qianqian, are you alright?
But I… I really didn’t know anything just now!”
“Relax, Qingxuan, I know it was beyond your control.
The uncle has already told me about your condition; you’ve got a hysterical disorder that can cause hallucinations.
He said that he’s confident he can cure your illness,” Zhao Bingqian said.
…
While the two girls were chattering away in the room, Ye Haochuan had already returned to his own bedroom, locked the door behind him, and sat on the bed, his brows furrowed.
“Lin Qingxuan was born at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, meaning she should naturally have a strong yang energy, making her an unlikely host for any spirits.
But the situation is totally different now, which suggests that someone must be manipulating things behind the scenes.
But who could it be?”
Ye Haochuan’s eyes flashed as he suddenly remembered what Long Xiaotian had said—that Lin Qingxuan was very important, and even assigned him to protect her as a private doctor, though he did not explain why she was so important.
From this, it’s clear that someone is out to harm Lin Qingxuan.
If I could follow the threads and use the ferocious ghost inside her to find out who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes, perhaps everything would be resolved.
However, my cultivation is too weak right now; I must advance to the Postnatal Early Stage as soon as possible to stand a chance.
And only by reaching the Postnatal Early Stage would I be strong enough to confront the master of Hellfire, the one backing Sun Zhe.
With this in mind, Ye Haochuan’s ambition surged, and he started to meditate and regulate his breath, cultivating the Longevity Technique like an old monk entering a meditative trance…
He had no idea how much time had passed when a knocking at his door roused him.
He barely opened his eyes and took a look towards the door with his Perspective, and saw Zhao Bingqian bringing two other girls to his doorstep.
No need to guess, they were Lin Qingxuan’s other two roommates.
They were knocking now, probably wanting to meet the sole male who had moved into the girls’ dormitory in building seven.
Feeling that his spirit had much improved and considering it would be good to meet a few beauties as a newcomer, he decided to get up from bed and open the door.
Zhao Bingqian, who had been impatiently waiting, saw him finally open the door and pouted her lips, “Uncle, you’re so arrogant!
We’ve been knocking for such a long time and you just wouldn’t open the door.
What’s the meaning of this?
You better not have been hiding in there jerking off.”
Jerking off?
Ye Haochuan was stunned speechless, you really dare to say anything, huh!
Do I look like the kind of guy who needs to jerk off to deal with loneliness?
What do you think?
