This Definitely Isn't Peeping!

Hm?!

The moment Ning Yechen said that, the scene fell silent.

"R-right now...?"

Qi Yuan's face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.

Although she knew Ning Yechen did not mean it that way, taking off her clothes in front of an unfamiliar man was still rather embarrassing for her.

Luo Ruying's delicate brows knit slightly as her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Yechen, her displeasure plain to see...

Only then did Ning Yechen realize that what he had just said seemed rather inappropriate. He hurriedly carried Luo Hongye over to Luo Ruying and explained,

"Wife, don't misunderstand. I mean using silver needles to open her acupoints and clear her meridians."

"Of course I know."

"I didn't misunderstand anything..."

Luo Ruying gave a soft snort, turned her head aside, and said.

Ning Yechen: "..."

She clearly looked angry...

"Wife, are you angry?"

Ning Yechen leaned close to Luo Ruying, his shoulder pressing against hers as he asked with a smile.

"I'm not angry."

"Don't take me for some petty woman who doesn't know reason."

Luo Ruying shot Ning Yechen a sidelong glare, took Luo Hongye from his arms, and said coolly,

"Don't you have a way to heal her damaged meridians?"

"Hurry up and help her."

Seeing that Luo Ruying seemed to be sulking, Ning Yechen felt inexplicably pleased. After answering, he walked over to Qi Yuan.

"Miss Qi, come with me."

With that, Ning Yechen took the lead and entered the room.

Qi Yuan's little face was crimson. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately followed him inside.

This opportunity was hard to come by. Whether Ning Yechen could truly heal her damaged meridians or not, she had to try!

This might very well be her last chance in this life to cultivate!

After entering the room, Qi Yuan stood there at a complete loss, having no idea what to do.

Ning Yechen had already sat cross-legged on the bed and said to her,

"What are you standing there for?"

"Come over."

"Just take off your clothes with your back facing me."

"Oh..."

Qi Yuan answered softly, then nervously climbed onto the bed and slowly removed her clothes with her back to Ning Yechen.

Taking off her clothes with her back turned toward an unfamiliar man truly made her feel embarrassed.

But for the sake of stepping onto the path of cultivation in the future, she endured her shyness and slowly exposed her back.

Compared to Qi Yuan's bashfulness and embarrassment, Ning Yechen remained calm and unruffled, without a ripple of emotion.

Even as he looked at her fair back, he felt nothing at all and could not muster the slightest interest...

Whether in figure or appearance, Qi Yuan was far inferior to Luo Ruying. How could he possibly be interested?

He had seen countless women more beautiful and seductive than her. Only his wife's figure could stir his interest...

Ning Yechen took out a set of silver needles from his robes and spread them before him. Casually drawing out several fine needles, he swiftly and precisely inserted them into the meridians on Qi Yuan's back.

In truth, it made no difference to him whether Qi Yuan took off her clothes or not. In his eyes, he could clearly see the flow of every person's internal meridians, even the condition of their dantian.

It was the same even through clothes.

The reason he had Qi Yuan remove her clothes was merely so Luo Ruying would not become suspicious.

If he could accurately insert silver needles into such minute meridians without removing her clothes, it would be far too exaggerated and easily arouse suspicion.

In fact, he did not even need silver needles. He could heal Qi Yuan's meridians with just his fingers...

These few needles were entirely for Luo Ruying and Qi Yuan to see...

As Ning Yechen inserted a silver needle into Qi Yuan's back, the faint sting made her let out a soft moan.

"Ah..."

At the same time, outside the room.

Luo Ruying stood at the door holding Luo Hongye, her little mouth slightly pursed as she looked thoroughly unhappy.

For some reason, she simply felt inexplicably upset!

Luo Ruying turned her head toward the room, her expression hesitant.

She really wanted to see what was happening inside, but she also felt that it would not be appropriate...

As the dignified female emperor of the Immortal Realm, peeping was truly beneath her...

Besides, the two of them were merely treating injuries. She had nothing to worry about...

"Mother, what are Father and that big sister doing?"

Luo Hongye raised her head and asked Luo Ruying in a soft, childish voice.

"Yeye, Father is helping that big sister treat her injuries."

Luo Ruying smiled and gently answered Luo Hongye in her arms.

The next instant, a soft moan came from inside the room...

Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes instantly widened of their own accord. With a flash, she appeared outside the room, secretly pressed herself against the window, and peered through a crack to inspect the situation inside.

She was only curious about what was happening in there!

She was merely concerned for their safety!

Just one look!

She would only look once!

Luo Hongye lay in her arms, blinking her large eyes with innocent confusion filling them.

What was Mother doing now?

Inside, on the bed, every time Ning Yechen inserted a needle, Qi Yuan felt a faint sting followed by a wave of heat across her back, making her unable to help letting out a soft moan.

It made Ning Yechen feel too embarrassed to continue...

"Miss Qi, please do not make strange noises, or my wife will misunderstand..."

"Also, don't tense your body too much."

Holding a silver needle, Ning Yechen said helplessly.

He had already noticed a pair of eyes outside the room, glued to the window and staring at him without blinking...

Even if Luo Ruying believed him to be merely a mortal, anyone would notice such naked scrutiny...!

And she herself seemed not to have realized it yet...

"Sorry..."

"I'll endure it!"

"Big Brother Ning, please continue!"

Qi Yuan's face was crimson as she clamped a hand tightly over her mouth.

She also knew that the sounds she made were far too strange!

But she could not help it. Every needle brought a brief, faint sting, followed by a wave of heat and an indescribable sense of comfort...

She was already trying her hardest to restrain herself.

Ning Yechen felt that if he continued inserting needles one by one, his wife would soon smash down the door and charge in...

Thus, Ning Yechen picked up the remaining silver needles and thrust them all precisely into Qi Yuan's back at once!

"Eek!!!"

This time, even biting down hard could not stop Qi Yuan. Her face twitched slightly as she cried out in pain, her entire body weak and powerless as she pitched forward against the bed.

After quite a while, Qi Yuan recovered and discovered that Ning Yechen had already removed every silver needle from her back, packed his things, and risen from the bed.

"Big Brother Ning, aren't we continuing?"

"I can still endure it!"

Qi Yuan anxiously lifted her head and asked.

She thought Ning Yechen was worried she could not hold on, so he had put everything away early.

Ning Yechen smiled faintly and said calmly,

"Continue? It's already over."

"Mm...?"

Qi Yuan looked utterly confused, then tried circulating the spiritual energy within her body.

The spiritual energy flowed through her body with exceptional ease, no longer blocked and uncomfortable as before!

The meridians within her body had truly been restored to how they once were!

Th-this was real?!

Qi Yuan widened her eyes in delighted disbelief.

She had truly recovered!

Back then, the Qi Family had spent countless gold coins, silver, and spirit stones, searching for every kind of divine physician and immortal doctor, yet all of them had been helpless. But this man before her had cured her with just a few needles!

The speed was simply unimaginable.

She felt as though he had merely inserted a few needles, and she was healed.

It was so fast that it felt as if she had only just asked whether it had begun, only to be told it was already over...
