"Thank you, Brother Ning!"
Qi Yuan jumped off the bed excitedly, wanting to rush forward and express her gratitude to Ning Yechen. However, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Ning Yechen, blocking her path.
"Miss Qi, your clothes..." Luo Ruying gently reminded.
Only then did Qi Yuan realize she was still only wearing a thin, close-fitting white shirt. She quickly covered herself in embarrassment, realizing she had almost acted inappropriately in front of Brother Ning.
"Sorry, Sister Luo. I didn't mean to..." Qi Yuan blushed and apologized hastily before turning around to put her clothes back on.
During this period, Luo Ruying turned and glared at Ning Yechen. Ning Yechen gave a wry smile and spread his hands. He was wronged. He hadn't done anything inappropriate or looked at Qi Yuan improperly.
After Qi Yuan finished dressing, Luo Ruying stepped forward to carefully check her pulse. This examination made Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes widen slightly. The meridians in Qi Yuan's body were truly unobstructed! How did he do that...? It was incredible to successfully heal the meridians throughout the body with just a few silver needles.
At first, she thought Ning Yechen was just an ordinary hunter in the mountains, but now she saw him distributing great wealth and healing someone's meridians with a few injections. It really surprised her.
"Thank you, Sister Luo and Brother Ning!" Qi Yuan once again expressed her solemn gratitude to Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen. Luo Ruying had saved her life, and Ning Yechen had given her hope to resume her practice. Her heart was filled with endless gratitude toward both of them.
"No need to thank us. Although the meridians in your body have recovered, they still need to be carefully nurtured for a few days before they can fully return to their previous state. Here is a prescription and some necessary materials. Take them regularly over the next few days according to the prescription, and you will be back to normal soon."
Ning Yechen smiled slightly, taking out more fairy herbs and a prescription from his arms, which he then handed to Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan glanced at the prescription and the herbs, her eyes widening in shock. These were extremely rare and valuable immortal grasses! The value of each plant was extraordinary. She had never seen this prescription before, but her intuition told her it was trustworthy. This seemed to be a prescription for warming and nourishing the meridians! The value of this prescription alone far exceeded the value of the house. Yet he casually gave it to her.
"Brother Ning, can I really accept these things...?" Qi Yuan asked, stammering in shock. The value of these items was immense.
Ning Yechen smiled and nodded. "You need these medicinal materials and the prescription now. Since I gave them to you, use them as you wish."
"Thank you so much, Brother Ning!" Qi Yuan was moved to tears, bowing deeply in gratitude. With these medicinal materials and the prescription, not only did she have hope for her practice, but the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce also had new hope!
"Brother Ning, may I ask you a question?" After expressing her gratitude, Qi Yuan asked, puzzled. "Why are you so kind to me...?"
She and Ning Yechen had only met by chance outside the city. It was their first meeting, yet she had received help beyond her imagination.
"Because, Miss Qi, you were kind to my daughter and made her happy. That's all," Ning Yechen replied lightly.
As a reward for making his daughter happy, the things given to Qi Yuan were not significant to him. This reason was something Qi Yuan had never considered. She had bought snacks for Luo Hongye to make her happy, and Ning Yechen, in turn, did not hesitate to heal her meridians and give her rare and expensive medicinal materials and prescriptions. Such generosity far surpassed that of her own Qi family.
Indeed, both he and Sister Luo were extraordinary. At first, she thought Ning Yechen was just a mortal with no spiritual energy fluctuations in his body. Only now did she realize he was a true miracle doctor with an extremely wealthy family background and a generous nature.
"Then I'll take my leave, Sister Luo, and see you, Brother Ning." After accepting the medicinal materials and prescription, Qi Yuan solemnly bowed goodbye to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying and left the house with cheerful steps. She couldn't wait to get home and study the remedy.
As soon as Qi Yuan left, Luo Ruying glanced at Ning Yechen and asked, "Why have I never heard that you are good at medicine?"
Luo Ruying's tone and demeanor made Ning Yechen feel as if his wife had caught him hiding something. This made Ning Yechen feel pressured, more so than when facing dozens of Immortal Emperors. He had never experienced such pressure before!
"Madam, you didn't ask, so I didn't tell you..." Ning Yechen slowly moved towards Luo Ruying, smiling flatteringly.
"Hmm..." Luo Ruying still stared at Ning Yechen with a scrutinizing gaze and asked again, "Then why do you live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?"
Ning Yechen's brain spun rapidly, and he quickly came up with a reasonable explanation. "To tell you the truth, I was originally born into a very wealthy family. We have been doctors for generations, saving lives and healing the wounded. But then, unfortunately, something happened, and I became disheartened, choosing to retreat to the mountains and forests..."
Ning Yechen's words were impassioned and touching, almost bringing tears to his eyes. When Luo Ruying heard this, her doubts disappeared, and her expression softened considerably. She hadn't expected him to have such a sad and touching past.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked this..." Luo Ruying apologized.
"It doesn't matter; I've moved past it," Ning Yechen said, putting his arms around Luo Ruying's delicate waist and gazing at her lovingly. "As long as you're not angry with me anymore, that's all that matters."
Luo Ruying's cheeks turned slightly red, and she glanced away sheepishly. "I'm not angry..."
"Really? Who was angrily peeking through the window while I was healing Miss Qi?" Ning Yechen teased, holding Luo Ruying tightly.
"I... I wasn't angry... I was just worried about you..." Luo Ruying defended herself, her cheeks flushing even more.
At this point, Ning Yechen moved closer to her. If it weren't for Luo Hongye still being in her arms, they would have been almost face to face. Ning Yechen leaned in close to Luo Ruying's ear, exhaling a warm breath, and whispered, "Madam, I am not only proficient in medical skills, but I am also very good at massage. You've been running around all day. Allow me to give you a massage..."
His breath sent a shiver down her spine. Luo Ruying's face turned crimson as she tried to maintain her composure. "I... I'm really not angry. Just... just worried, that's all."
Ning Yechen chuckled softly. "Worried, huh? Well, let me ease your worries with a nice massage. You deserve some relaxation, my dear."
Luo Ruying hesitated, her pride battling with the desire for comfort. But the warmth in Ning Yechen's eyes melted her resistance. "Alright," she whispered, "but just a massage. Nothing more."
Ning Yechen nodded, gently taking Luo Hongye from her arms and laying her down on a nearby couch. He then led Luo Ruying to a comfortable chair and began to work his magic. His hands moved with expertise and care, kneading away the tension in her shoulders and back.
Luo Ruying closed her eyes, letting out a soft sigh as the stress melted away. She couldn't deny how good his hands felt, how much she needed this. Her mind drifted, thoughts of their earlier conversation mingling with the soothing sensations.
"You're really good at this," she murmured.
Ning Yechen smiled. "I told you, Madam. I'm not just a healer; I'm a man of many talents."
Luo Ruying chuckled softly, feeling a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a long time. "Maybe I should let you do this more often."
"I'd be honored," Ning Yechen replied, his voice low and sincere. "Anything to make my wife happy."
As the massage continued, the room filled with a comfortable silence. The bond between them grew stronger, their connection deepening with each gentle touch. It was a moment of intimacy and trust, a promise of better days to come.
In that quiet space, amidst the warmth and tenderness, they both found a sense of home. And for the first time in a long while, everything felt just right.
