The night was as dark as ink, with thick clouds filling the night sky. In the distance, the rumbling of thunder rolled over, as if a torrential downpour was about to be unleashed.
On a mountain path, a tall and slender youth held a wooden stick in his hand, tapping it on the ground as he slowly made his way forward.
This youth had a handsome face, with eyes like black gemstones, full of spirit.
Unfortunately, he was blind.
Finally, he stopped in a small grove, where a young girl dressed in a light blue dress stood in front, her figure graceful and her appearance beautiful.
"Brother Feen, you're here!"
Seeing the blind youth approach, the girl in blue hurriedly went up to him and took his arm.
The blind youth, named Ling Feng, was the descendant of a fallen aristocratic family of doctors.
Since he was young, Ling Feng traveled with his grandfather, practicing medicine everywhere.
A year ago, Ling Feng came to Kaiyang City with his grandfather, hearing that the daughter of the City Lord, Su Lin, was born with the Three Yin Extreme Pulse, a condition that no one could cure.
This illness was terminal, and if she couldn't be cured by the age of eighteen, the City Lord's daughter would only meet her fateful demise.
But Ling Feng had an extraordinary talent in medicine, mastering medical principles since childhood and learning his family's Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique, a truly miraculous medical skill.
Ling Feng's grandfather, Ling Kun, was tempted by the high reward offered by the City Lord, who had announced it on the bulletin board, urging Ling Feng to accept the challenge and enter the City Lord Mansion to treat Su Lin.
After the first acupuncture session, Lady Su Lin's condition indeed improved significantly.
Thus, at the earnest request of the City Lord, Ling Feng and his grandfather stayed at the City Lord Mansion to cure Su Lin's Three Yin Extreme Pulse completely.
Three months ago, while performing acupuncture on Su Lin, Ling Feng accidentally suffered a backlash of yin energy, causing an eye ailment, turning him blind.
To appease Ling Feng and have him continue fully treating his daughter, the City Lord promised that as long as Ling Feng could cure Su Lin's Three Yin Extreme Pulse, he would marry her to him as his wife.
Su Lin also expressed that Ling Feng had gone blind for her sake, and she was willing to repay this kindness with a lifelong commitment, taking care of him forever.
Su Lin was a paragon of beauty, gentle as water, and Ling Feng had long developed feelings for her. Now that he was blind, being able to marry such a beauty as Su Lin left no reason to disagree.
Over the past three months, with Ling Feng's dedicated efforts, Su Lin's health improved steadily, and tonight's treatment was all that remained to completely cure her Three Yin Extreme Pulse.
"Come, Lin'er, sit down. Today I'll give you your final acupuncture session. Your Three Yin Qi will be completely purged, and during full moon nights, you will no longer suffer the pains of yin energy backlash."
"Thank you, Brother Feen! I'll help you sit down."
A sweet smile appeared on Su Lin's charming face as she helped Ling Feng sit under a large tree, then sat cross-legged in front of him.
Ling Feng, with Su Lin's assistance, sat down slowly, and from his clothes, he took out a pack of golden needles, softly saying, "Lin'er, I apologize if I'm being intrusive."
With that, he raised his hand and began to gently feel for the acupoints on Su Lin's body. Although he was blind, Su Lin's likeness was etched in his heart, and he easily located the correct spots to insert the golden needles, beginning to expel the Three Yin Qi.
The Three Yin Qi, following the golden needles, inevitably transmitted a small trace into Ling Feng's body. This was also why he had been blinded by a backlash of yin energy previously.
At this moment, Su Lin's complexion grew rosier, but Ling Feng's whole body tensed with bulging veins, cold sweat dripping down from his forehead as he endured the immense pain of yin energy erosion.
Seven and a half minutes later, Ling Feng slowly withdrew the golden needles, and Su Lin's Three Yin Extreme Pulse was finally cured.
Ling Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face pale, weakly saying, "It's done, Lin'er. You can get up now."
Su Lin appeared more vibrant and spirited, opening her eyes to look at Ling Feng, solemnly asking, "Is my Three Yin Extreme Pulse really completely cured?"
"Yes, it's completely cured." Ling Feng smiled softly, "After some rest, you'll become a healthy and beautiful bride."
"Thank you." Su Lin's voice turned somewhat cold, no longer as affectionate as before, calling him "Brother Feen" at every turn.
"Why be so formal with me? Let's head back to the mansion. I'll talk to the City Lord tomorrow and make a proposal!"
Ling Feng smiled gently, lifting his hand to caress Su Lin's cheek.
Usually, Su Lin would lean over for him to caress her, but this time, she didn't!
Ling Feng's heart tightened with a hint of unease, furrowing his brows, "Lin'er, what's wrong?"
Su Lin didn't answer but turned to see torches appearing suddenly in the dense woods, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching.
Abruptly, she tore her shoulder dress off and burrowed into Ling Feng's arms, loudly shouting, "Ling Feng, you beast, you tried to molest me! Someone, help! Save me!"
Ling Feng's expression froze, bewildered, "Lin'er, what are you saying? What do you mean?"
At that moment, a handsome youth led a middle-aged man, surrounded by a group of servants, quickly walking towards them.
"Ling Feng, you animal! What are you doing!"
The middle-aged man roared, lunging forward with an arrow step, dragging Su Lin up with one hand, delivering a fierce slap that sent Ling Feng sprawling to the ground.
It turned out, this middle-aged man was the City Lord of Kaiyang City, Su Lin's father, Su Shixiong.
Su Lin whimpered into Su Shixiong's arms, sobbing, "Father, Ling Feng… he's inhuman!"
"Uncle Su, did you see that! I told you Ling Feng was no good. Now he dares to pretend to treat my cousin but secretly lure her here to do disreputable things!"
The youth leading Su Shixiong stomped hard on Ling Feng repeatedly, cursing, "You blind scoundrel, dreaming of swan meat, you don't even reflect on your blind self. Are you worthy of my cousin Su Lin?"
This youth, Chen Huang, was Su Lin's cousin.
In fact, all that happened tonight was meticulously orchestrated by Su Lin and Chen Huang.
Otherwise, why would Su Lin insist on bringing Ling Feng to the back hill for treatment, and why would Su Shixiong arrive neither early nor late, but exactly at this time?
Ling Feng, slapped dizzy by Su Shixiong and punched and kicked by Chen Huang.
Yet the physical pain couldn't compare to the coldness in his heart.
So, from the start, Su Lin was deceiving him! Using him!
Gritting his teeth, enduring Chen Huang's punches and kicks, he bellowed madly, "Su Lin, you deceived me! You deceived me!"
Su Lin remained nestled in her father's arms, merely weeping, "We are already betrothed, why would you trick me here! You… you're a beast in gentleman's clothing!"
"Hahaha…" Ling Feng laughed up into the sky.
Laughing at himself for wasting a year's effort, laughing at himself for even losing his eyesight, all for this ending?
"You beast!" Su Shixiong's beard trembled with fury, shouting, "Beat him, beat him hard!"
A group of house servants immediately surrounded Ling Feng, raining down punches and kicks.
"You beast, don't dream of marrying my daughter! By tomorrow morning, get out, and if I see you and your grandfather again in Kaiyang City, you'll be killed on sight!" Su Shixiong roared angrily.
Amidst the servants' assault, Ling Feng was covered in blood, howling madly, "Su Lin, you wretch, you deserve to die!"
"You blind fool, courting death!" Chen Huang's face twisted with malice, turning to Su Shixiong, "Uncle Su, please take my cousin back. Leave this scum to me to handle!"
Su Shixiong coldly snorted, waving his sleeve, then turned and left with Su Lin.
Su Shixiong, not being a fool, understood the setup clearly.
But what was Ling Feng to him? Just a wandering doctor who was now blind, how could he be fit to be his son-in-law?
On the other hand, Chen Huang was the son of Kaiyang City's wealthiest merchant family, matching perfectly with his daughter.
So, even knowing Ling Feng was wronged, Su Shixiong chose to turn a blind eye.
After Su Shixiong and his daughter left, Chen Huang became even more ruthless, stepping on Ling Feng's chest, sneering, "You blind fool, the woman you worked so hard to cure is already my plaything! Hahaha…"
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
Ling Feng's eyes bulged with rage, once thinking he could marry a sweet wife by tomorrow, now seeing everything shattered.
His beautiful dream was completely broken!
"Crack!"
In the dark clouds, thunder boomed, and the long-held sky finally exploded with a series of thunderbolts.
Torrential rain poured down!
However, Chen Huang had no intention of stopping, roaring with a sneer, "Hit, keep hitting, beat him to death! How dare a blind fool vie for a woman with me, Chen Huang!"
Driven to madness, Ling Feng drew a row of golden needles from his bosom, slashing them wildly.
"You blind fool, still dare fight back?"
"Break his fingers first, let's see how he performs acupuncture in the future!"
Hideously grinning servants picked up iron rods, beating Ling Feng mercilessly.
"Wretch! Even if I become an Evil Ghost, I won't spare the Su family!"
Covered in blood, Ling Feng's eyes bulged as he grasped the golden needle in hand, fiercely stabbing it into his Bai Hui acupoint atop his head!
Crack!
Simultaneously, thunder rumbled, striking a nearby large tree, igniting a raging fire.
"Damn, what creepy weather!" Chen Huang cursed, "Enough, don't waste time, finish him, let's go!"
"Ah!—"
But at that moment, a heart-wrenching scream resounded.
Then, screams one after another echoed, mingling with the thunder in the rainy night, incredibly ghastly.
Chen Huang's pupils contracted sharply, seeing Ling Feng with a vertical pupil opened on his forehead, blood threads inked.
Beneath the vertical pupil, his eyes looked like blood springs, exuding a terrifying aura akin to an Evil Ghost.
"What… what monster are you!" Petrified, Chen Huang's legs went slack, collapsing to the ground.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!—"
Ling Feng lunged, pinning down a Su Family servant, his claws tearing open the servant's throat, then leaping like a beast onto Chen Huang.
"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Ling Feng's throat emitted a beast-like roar, his claws plunging deep, shredding his eyes, throat, into fragments!
