Jian Yumei's movements were swift. He promptly pushed the bowl away, "Madam, I am a practitioner and cannot partake of meat. I must adhere to a vegetarian diet."
"Eating a bit won't hurt. Come, Brother Jian, let me serve you," Hua Ainang insisted, offering him a helping.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I've finished eating. My apologies for the rush, but I must take my leave. I need to bid farewell to Miss Humeiniang and depart," Jian Yumei said.
For some reason, Jian Yumei felt uneasy. Regardless, he decided to leave first and sort things out later.
In truth, he ate quickly, finishing two large bowls of rice, feeling strengthened.
Standing up, he declared, "Madam, Miss Hua, please continue your meal. I'll go to Miss Humeiniang's room!" And with that, he headed out.
The matron and Hua Ainang wanted to persuade him, but it was too late.
Jian Yumei walked directly to Humeiniang's room.
However, as he left the dining hall, he collided with someone, a beautiful woman to be precise.
The woman wore an expression of melancholy, clad in a white dress, resembling a figure stepped out of a painting.
Initially mesmerized by Humeiniang's beauty, Jian Yumei now found this woman absolutely captivating.
Yet Jian Yumei only glanced and cautioned himself not to be beguiled by her beauty.
"Ouch, you've hurt me!" the lady exclaimed as she fell to the ground, groaning.
"I apologize, miss!" Jian Yumei felt remorseful for knocking her over.
"Help me up!" the lady demanded.
With no other choice, Jian Yumei approached and gently assisted her. However, as she stood up, she lost her balance and fell into Jian Yumei's arms again.
"Ouch, it hurts! You're truly my nemesis!" the lady complained.
Jian Yumei felt vexed; bumping into one person in the morning and now another. What was he to do?
Could he even leave now? Jian Yumei felt utterly exasperated.
Looking at the beauty in his arms, Jian Yumei felt at a loss.
"Help me back to my room! I can't walk there myself!" the lady pleaded.
Jian Yumei felt troubled. Why hadn't the matron and Hua Ainang come to help? He couldn't dwell on it; the lady had already nestled her head into his chest, embracing him tightly.
"Alright, I'll assist you!" Jian Yumei agreed.
As Jian Yumei helped the lady to her room, he noticed it resembled Humeiniang's. Perhaps she was the sister they mentioned earlier.
"Ouch, it hurts!" the lady moaned, her cries echoing. Jian Yumei found it somewhat overwhelming; after all, he was still a young man with vigorous vitality.
"Miss, where are you injured? Let me take a look!" Jian Yumei offered.
"It's here!" the lady's hand reached for her lower back, quite low indeed.
Jian Yumei blushed.
"Could it be a spinal injury?" Jian Yumei wondered.
"Yes, it must be that area. What should I do? Will I be paralyzed?" the lady fretted.
"You probably won't be. Let me examine you first to assess the extent of the injury!" Jian Yumei said anxiously.
"Alright! Please check!" the lady agreed.
Jian Yumei gently turned the lady over, asking her to lie on her stomach.
But facing the lady's body, he felt somewhat shy.
Jian Yumei hesitated to act.
"Are you bashful? You rascal! You've seen my sister's body, yet you're shy now? It should be me embarrassed. If it weren't for the risk of paralysis, I wouldn't let you see me like this!" the lady chided, her face reddened. However, her tone held authority, unlike her sister's.
Jian Yumei resolved to forge ahead. It seemed fate had a hand in this day's events; he kept running into people. Regardless of discomfort, he had to handle it himself.
"Very well, Miss, I'll examine you now!" Jian Yumei declared.
Afterwards, Jian Yumei delicately lifted the lady's skirt. Her pristine buttocks appeared before him. He dared not look closely; the sight stirred his emotions.
Jian Yumei's hand touched the lady's spine, his examination revealing a slight deformity.
"Alas, why was I so careless?" Jian Yumei reproached himself.
"Will I be paralyzed? Will I lose the ability to walk? You're so wicked! If I can't walk, I'll make you accompany me for life!" the lady exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I'll find a solution, I'll treat you!" Jian Yumei hastened to reassure her.
While they conversed inside the room, two pairs of eyes outside secretly observed.
It was the matron and Hua Ainang.
The matron remarked to Hua Ainang, "See, your impatience almost scared him off! Look at your sister; she's adept without leaving a trace. She merely mimicked your sister's earlier actions and enticed this lad once more. Your sister's too soft-hearted to continue; alas, being a virgin holds her back. If she were like your sister, experienced with men, oh, the allure! Who could resist?"
"Humph, Mother, I'm skilled too! I've captivated many men. With all the offerings I've brought you, you've consumed my men. It's not like my men are fewer than Sister's!" Hua Ainang pouted.
"Sigh, while you've brought many men, the quality isn't comparable to your sister's. Her men are of higher quality. You must learn and improve, increase your competitiveness, strive to attract even better men in the future!" the matron advised.
"I understand. I'll work harder from now on!" Hua Ainang promised.
"Let's wait and see. We'll feast later! We'll exhaust him, drain his vitality, then feast on his heart. It would have been a shame if he hadn't eaten the human flesh we prepared earlier. I've added plenty of aphrodisiacs to it. But let's see what your sister does; she's never failed. Sigh, beneath her innocent facade lies a seductress. What man can resist?" Hua Ainang chuckled.
Inside, Jian Yumei heard the laughter, feeling surprised. He turned back quickly.
"What are you looking at, sir?" the lady moaned again.
"It's nothing, I heard laughter!" Jian Yumei explained.
"It's just your imagination! I'm in pain; please treat me!" the lady urged.
Outside, the matron gave Hua Ainang a stern look, and Hua Ainang quickly covered her mouth.
Meanwhile, inside, the scene continued.
Jian Yumei formed his right index finger into a sword and gently traced it from the lady's thoracic vertebrae to her coccyx.
"It feels so hot, so comfortable!" the lady sighed.
"Yes, it may feel hot, but
your coccyx will be restored. It'll gradually improve!" Jian Yumei assured her.
He continued to channel his energy, infusing the lady's coccygeal region with Qi. She felt immensely relieved.
"It doesn't hurt as much now!" the lady exclaimed.
"Yes, by tomorrow morning, it should be much better!" Jian Yumei concluded.
"Yes, but I feel so itchy, sir!" the lady complained.
