Nearby, Yang Hongmei saw Qin Guan standing there in silence with a strange expression. Frowning, she asked, "Brother-in-law, have you thought of a way to treat her?"
Qin Guan cleared his throat and said seriously, "I've thought of one."
At that, Yang Hongmei's face lit up with a smile. "That's wonderful! Brother-in-law, hurry and treat Qiao'er!"
Qin Guan nodded and didn't hesitate. He gently raised his hand, and Spiritual Power surged from the Acupoints into his palm.
Then, with a light tap of his fingertip, a wisp of Chaos Qi quietly melded into the Spiritual Power. In an instant, the energy in his palm seemed to be imbued with even greater, more wondrous power, its light flickering faintly.
After glancing at Nan Qiao, Qin Guan pressed his palm against her arm. The meridians in her arm were damaged, and he wanted to test how well this method worked before treating her dantian.
Soon, Nan Qiao clearly felt a gentle, warm force slowly seep into her arm. The faint ache that had been there vanished in an instant, leaving her feeling wonderfully comfortable.
Qin Guan pressed and rubbed her arm with his right hand while taking her pulse with his left. When he noticed the damaged meridians in Nan Qiao's arm recovering at a visible rate, he marveled inwardly.
The speed was no slower than the healing power he gained from opening the Life Gate. Chaos Qi really was powerful. No wonder Little Black Tower had always wanted to get some Chaos Qi to heal its wounds.
Before long, under Qin Guan's treatment, Nan Qiao could move her arm again.
Qin Guan looked at Nan Qiao. "How do you feel?"
"My arm doesn't hurt anymore," Nan Qiao said hurriedly.
"Oh, Brother-in-law's methods really are amazing!" Yang Hongmei was overjoyed to hear Nan Qiao say that.
Seeing that the method worked, Qin Guan glanced at Nan Qiao's lower abdomen and said solemnly, "Next, I'm going to use the same method to treat your dantian. Do you understand?"
Hearing him, Nan Qiao suddenly realized that the dantian was in her lower abdomen. Treating it with the same method meant Qin Guan would have to rub her belly with his hand.
At the thought, her cheeks turned bright red.
"Oh, why are you still worrying about all that at a time like this? Brother-in-law, hurry and treat Qiao'er. If her dantian is ruined, she'll be ruined too!" Yang Hongmei urged.
Nan Qiao looked at Qin Guan, her voice tinged with embarrassment. "Brother-in-law, don't feel awkward. Go ahead."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I feel awkward? I'm treating your injury."
Qin Guan shot Nan Qiao an exasperated look, then placed his palm on her lower abdomen.
The moment Qin Guan's broad palm touched her belly, Nan Qiao felt as though she'd been suddenly struck by an electric shock. Her delicate body trembled involuntarily.
Seeing that Qin Guan's hand wasn't moving, Little Black Tower reminded him, "Kid, do you know how to massage? Rub back and forth. Otherwise, all the Chaos Qi will flow into one spot. It won't work as well, and her dantian won't be able to take it."
At the reminder, Qin Guan began to rub Nan Qiao's soft lower abdomen.
Soon, waves of gentle warmth seeped into the dantian in Nan Qiao's lower abdomen. Wherever the force reached, her dantian, which had been faintly aching as though torn apart, felt like parched land welcoming rain. Threads of comfort spread through it.
"Mm!"
Feeling waves of warm, soothing pleasure in her abdomen, Nan Qiao couldn't help letting out a moan.
Realizing she'd lost control, a deep blush instantly spread across her fair cheeks. She squeezed her eyes shut and bit her lip, doing her best to hold back and keep quiet.
Nearby, Yang Hongmei watched Qin Guan's large hand rubbing her daughter's belly back and forth. A hint of shyness and secret delight appeared on her still-charming face. Her gaze moved between her daughter and Qin Guan, her thoughts impossible to read.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Little Black Tower suddenly said, "Stop rubbing. Any more and she won't be able to take it. That wisp of Chaos Qi is enough to last her the whole night. Giving her more will only backfire."
Hearing Little Black Tower, Qin Guan hurriedly withdrew his hand. If he ruined his sister-in-law while treating her, he'd be a terrible sinner.
Remembering that Nan Qiao had several other damaged meridians, Qin Guan decided to treat those too.
About half an hour later, Qin Guan finally stopped. Although he'd only used a little Spiritual Power to treat Nan Qiao, the treatment had taken so long that all the Spiritual Power stored in his four Acupoints had been depleted.
"Your injuries are no longer a serious concern, but your dantian will need another two or three days of treatment. Stay in bed and rest for the next few days," Qin Guan told Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao nodded, her eyes darting away as she dared not look Qin Guan in the face. "Thank you, Brother-in-law."
Qin Guan nodded slightly, then turned and left. Only as he was leaving did he realize that Yang Hongmei had slipped out of the room at some point.
Remembering how Qin Guan's hand had roamed over nearly her entire body, Nan Qiao lay on the bed and felt warmth rush from her ears to the rest of her body. Overcome with embarrassment, she hurriedly pulled up the covers and buried her head deep beneath them.
The next day, when Nan Yunqi, Nan Rou, and the others heard that Nan Qiao had been injured, they hurried over to visit her.
"Oh, thank goodness Brother-in-law treated Qiao'er so carefully last night. Otherwise, something terrible might have happened to her!"
