"Thank you, Brother Ning!"

Qi Yuan excitedly jumped off the bed, wanting to rush forward and express her gratitude to Ning Yechen.

A graceful silhouette instantly appeared in front of Ning Yechen, blocking her path.

"Miss Qi, your clothes..."

Luo Ruying reminded her gently.

Qi Yuan then realized she was still only wearing a thin white undergarment, and she had almost made a disrespectful move towards Brother Ning. She quickly covered herself.

"I'm sorry, Sister Luo, I didn't mean to..."

Qi Yuan said apologetically, her face flushed, and she quickly put on her clothes.

During this time, Luo Ruying turned and glared at Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen showed a bitter smile and shrugged.

He was wronged...

He hadn't done anything, nor had he looked.

After Qi Yuan was dressed, Luo Ruying stepped forward and took her pulse, examining her carefully.

This examination made Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes widen slightly.

Qi Yuan's meridians were truly unblocked!

How did he do it...?

It was incredible that he had succeeded in healing her meridians with just a few silver needles.

At first, she had thought Ning Yechen was just an ordinary hunter from the mountains. Now, seeing him casually produce a large amount of wealth and heal someone's meridians with a few needles...

She was truly surprised...

"Thank you, Sister Luo and Brother Ning!"

Qi Yuan once again thanked Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen solemnly.

Luo Ruying had saved her life, while Ning Yechen had given her renewed hope for cultivation.

She was filled with endless gratitude towards both of them.

"No need for thanks. Although your meridians have recovered, you still need a few days of careful recuperation to fully recover."

"Here is a prescription and some of the required ingredients. Take them regularly according to the prescription for the next few days, and you will be fully recovered."

Ning Yechen smiled slightly, took out some Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine and a prescription from his embrace, and tossed them into Qi Yuan's arms.

Qi Yuan looked down at the prescription in her arms, then at the Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine in the bundle, and her eyes widened in shock.

These were all extremely rare and scarce Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine in the world!

Each one was incredibly valuable!

She had never seen the prescription before, but her intuition told her it was absolutely correct!

This seemed to be a prescription for nourishing meridians!

The value of this prescription alone far exceeded that of this entire residence!

And he had just casually given it to her!

"Brother Ning, c-can I really accept these things...?"

Qi Yuan asked, stuttering in shock.

The value of these items was too high!

Ning Yechen smiled and nodded.

"You need these medicinal materials and the prescription now."

"Since I've given them to you, you can use them as you wish."

"Thank you so much, Brother Ning!"

Qi Yuan couldn't help but be moved and bowed again to thank him, tears welling up in her eyes.

With these medicinal materials and the prescription, not only did she have hope for cultivation, but the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce also had new hope!

"Brother Ning, c-can I ask a question?"

"Why are you being so good to me...?"

After expressing her gratitude, Qi Yuan asked, puzzled.

She had only met Ning Yechen by chance outside the city. It was their first meeting, yet she had received help she could never have imagined.

"Because Miss Qi was good to my daughter and made her happy. That's all."

Ning Yechen said with a faint smile.

As a reward for making his daughter happy, the things given to Qi Yuan were insignificant.

This reason was completely unexpected by Qi Yuan.

She had simply bought some snacks to please Luo Hongye because she liked her, and Ning Yechen had gone so far as to heal her meridians, even gifting her precious and expensive medicinal ingredients and prescriptions…

This kind of generosity and magnanimity far surpassed even her own Qi Family…

As expected, he and Sister Luo were both extraordinary…

At first, she had thought Ning Yechen was just an ordinary person, with no trace of spiritual energy fluctuations on him.

Now she knew!

He was actually a true divine doctor!

And not just any divine doctor, but one from an extremely wealthy family who was incredibly generous with his spending!

"Then I'll take my leave. Goodbye, Sister Luo, Brother Ning."

After accepting the medicinal ingredients and prescriptions, Qi Yuan bowed respectfully to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying and left the courtyard with cheerful steps.

She couldn't wait to rush back home to study the prescription.

As soon as Qi Yuan left, Luo Ruying frowned and looked at Ning Yechen, asking:

"How come I've never heard that you're also skilled in medicine?"

Luo Ruying's tone and expression made Ning Yechen feel as if he had been caught hiding his private savings by his wife, who was now interrogating him…

This made Ning Yechen inexplicably feel pressured…

A pressure he had never felt even when facing dozens of Celestial Emperors!

"My dear, you never asked, so your husband didn't say…"

Ning Yechen slowly shuffled closer to Luo Ruying, smiling ingratiatingly.

"Mm…"

Luo Ruying maintained her scrutinizing gaze on Ning Yechen and asked again:

"Then why did you choose to live in seclusion in the mountains?"

"Hiss… Uh…"

Ning Yechen's mind raced, and within 0.0001 seconds, he came up with a plausible explanation!

"To be honest, my dear, your husband was originally born into a very wealthy family. We had countless family members, and generations of doctors who saved lives and healed the wounded!"

"But unfortunately, I encountered some unforeseen circumstances, and in my despair, I chose to retreat into the mountains…"

Ning Yechen spoke with such passion and sincerity that he almost brought himself to tears…

Upon hearing this, Luo Ruying's doubts vanished, and her expression softened considerably.

She hadn't expected him to have such a poignant and moving past…

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about that…"

Luo Ruying apologized.

"It's alright, your husband doesn't mind anymore."

"As long as my dear isn't angry with your husband anymore."

Ning Yechen took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Luo Ruying's slender waist, gazing at her affectionately.

Luo Ruying's cheeks flushed slightly, and she bashfully averted her gaze.

"I wasn't angry…"

"Really?"

"When your husband was treating Miss Qi, who was it that was huffing and puffing by the window?"

Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying tighter, a playful smile on his face.

"I, I wasn't huffing and puffing at all…"

"I was just worried that something might happen to you guys…"

Caught peeking, Luo Ruying's face turned red as she defended herself.

At this moment, Ning Yechen's body was getting closer and closer to hers. If he hadn't been holding Luo Hongye, they would have been face-to-face…

Ning Yechen leaned close to Luo Ruying's ear, breathing a puff of warm air onto it, and whispered:

"My dear, your husband is not only skilled in medicine, but also very good at massage."

"My dear has had a long day of travel and is tired. Let your husband give you a massage~"
