"Thank you, Brother Ning!"
Qi Yuan excitedly jumped down from the bed, intending to rush forward and thank Ning Yechen.
But in an instant, a graceful figure appeared before Ning Yechen, blocking her path.
"Miss Qi, your clothes..."
Luo Ruying reminded her calmly.
Only then did Qi Yuan realize that she was still wearing nothing but a thin white undershirt. She had nearly behaved improperly toward Brother Ning, and hurriedly covered herself.
"Sorry, Sister Luo, I didn't mean to..."
Blushing furiously, Qi Yuan hastily apologized and turned around to put on her clothes.
During that time, Luo Ruying turned back and shot Ning Yechen a glare.
Ning Yechen wore a helpless smile and spread his hands.
He was innocent...
He had done nothing, and he had not looked.
Once Qi Yuan had dressed, Luo Ruying stepped forward, took her pulse, and examined her carefully.
This examination immediately made Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes widen slightly.
The meridians in Qi Yuan's body were truly unobstructed now!
How had he done it...?
He had successfully healed the meridians throughout her body with only a few silver needles. It was simply unbelievable.
At first, she had thought Ning Yechen was merely an ordinary hunter living in the mountains. Yet now, she had seen him casually produce vast wealth, then heal another person's meridians with just a few needles...
It truly took her by surprise...
"Thank you, Sister Luo and Brother Ning!"
Qi Yuan solemnly thanked Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen once more.
Luo Ruying had saved her life, while Ning Yechen had given her hope of cultivating once again.
Her heart was filled with endless gratitude toward them both.
"There is no need to thank us. Although the meridians in your body have recovered, you still need to carefully nurse yourself for several days before you can fully return to normal."
"Here is a prescription and some of the materials it requires. Take the medicine according to the prescription over the next few days, and you will recover completely soon enough."
With a slight smile, Ning Yechen took several more Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine, along with a prescription, from his robes and tossed them into Qi Yuan's arms.
Qi Yuan lowered her head to look at the prescription in her arms, then at the Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine in the bundle. Her eyes immediately widened in shock.
Th-these were all Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine that were exceedingly rare and scarce in this world!
Every single one was extraordinarily valuable!
She had never seen that prescription before, but her intuition told her it was absolutely genuine!
It seemed to be a prescription capable of nourishing one's meridians!
The value of that prescription alone far exceeded that of this entire residence!
Yet he had casually tossed it to her!
"Brother Ning, I... can I really accept these things...?"
Qi Yuan stammered in shock.
These things were far too valuable!
Ning Yechen smiled and nodded.
"You need these medicinal ingredients and this prescription right now."
"Since I have given them to you, use them as you please."
"Thank you so much, Brother Ning!"
Unable to contain her emotions, Qi Yuan bowed again in thanks, tears shimmering in her eyes.
With these medicinal ingredients and this prescription, not only did she have hope of cultivating again, but the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce also had new hope!
"Brother Ning, may I... may I ask you something?"
"Why are you treating me so well...?"
After expressing her gratitude, Qi Yuan asked in confusion.
She had merely encountered Ning Yechen by chance outside the city. It was their first meeting, yet she had received help beyond anything she would ever have dared imagine.
"Because Miss Qi has treated my daughter well and made her happy. That is all."
Ning Yechen replied with a faint smile.
As a reward for making his daughter happy, the things he had given Qi Yuan were not worth mentioning at all.
This reason was completely beyond Qi Yuan's expectations.
She had merely liked Luo Hongye and bought her some snacks to make her happy. Yet Ning Yechen had gone so far as to heal her meridians and give her rare, expensive medicinal ingredients and a prescription...
Such lavish generosity even surpassed that of her Qi Family...
Sure enough, he and Sister Luo were both anything but ordinary...
At first, she had even thought Ning Yechen was just an ordinary mortal, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power around him.
Only now did she understand!
He was actually a true divine physician!
Moreover, he was a divine physician from an immensely wealthy household, one who spent with extravagant generosity!
"Then I shall take my leave. Goodbye, Sister Luo, Brother Ning."
After accepting the medicinal ingredients and prescription, Qi Yuan solemnly bowed farewell to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, then left the residence with light, cheerful steps.
She could not wait to return home and study that prescription.
As soon as Qi Yuan left, Luo Ruying frowned and looked toward Ning Yechen, asking,
"How come I have never heard that you are also skilled in medicine?"
Luo Ruying's tone and expression made Ning Yechen feel as though she had discovered his hidden stash of private money and was now calling him to account...
For some reason, he actually felt pressure in his heart...
Pressure he had never felt even when facing dozens of Immortal Emperors!
"You never asked, my wife, so I never told you..."
Ning Yechen slowly edged closer to Luo Ruying and smiled ingratiatingly.
"Mm..."
Luo Ruying continued to stare at Ning Yechen with a scrutinizing gaze and asked again,
"Then why did you choose to live in seclusion in the mountains?"
"Hiss... uh..."
Ning Yechen's mind spun at lightning speed, and within 0.0001 seconds, he came up with a reasonable explanation!
"To be honest with you, my wife, I was originally born into an extremely wealthy family. We had countless family members and had practiced medicine for generations, saving lives and healing the wounded!"
"But later, we unfortunately encountered certain misfortunes. Disheartened and disillusioned, I chose to retire into the mountains..."
Ning Yechen spoke with such impassioned grandeur, so moving that it nearly brought tears to his own eyes...
Upon hearing that this was the reason, the doubts in Luo Ruying's heart vanished, and her expression immediately softened considerably.
She had not expected him to have such a bitter and touching past...
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked about that..."
Luo Ruying apologized.
"It's all right. I stopped caring about it long ago."
"As long as my wife is no longer angry with me, that is enough."
Taking the opportunity, Ning Yechen wrapped an arm around Luo Ruying's slender waist and gazed at her affectionately as he spoke.
Luo Ruying's cheeks reddened slightly, and she shyly turned her head away.
"I wasn't angry..."
"Really?"
"While I was treating Miss Qi's injuries, who was it that was sulking by the window?"
Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying tighter, a teasing smile appearing on his face.
"I-I wasn't sulking..."
"I was only worried something might happen to you two..."
Having not expected her spying to be discovered, Luo Ruying blushed as she tried to explain herself.
At that moment, Ning Yechen's body pressed closer and closer to hers. If Luo Hongye had not still been in her arms, the two of them would almost have been pressed face-to-face...
Ning Yechen leaned close to Luo Ruying's ear, breathed out a warm puff of air, and whispered,
"My wife, not only am I proficient in medicine, I am also quite skilled at massages."
"My wife has been running about and working hard all day. Let me give you a massage~"
