110: Chapter 110: Ready to Show Your Strength!

Qin Yu reached out his hand.

A faint light glowed at his fingertips.

"Actually, regarding your parents' death back then..."

"It wasn't as your foolish brother said."

"That they died at the hands of my Qin Family."

Chu Youwei's eyes widened, and her breathing quickened.

"Then... then what happened?"

"They were either protecting a secret, or they were being used as pawns."

Qin Yu stopped mid-sentence.

This tactic was called playing hard to get.

It was also an Advanced technique in psychological counseling.

"That brother of yours..."

"His heart isn't bad."

Qin Yu shook his head, looking very regretful.

"But his brain just doesn't work very well."

"Just like the village idiot!"

"He believes whatever anyone tells him."

"He doesn't stop to think that if my Qin Family truly wanted to silence everyone..."

"Why would we have left the two of you as loose ends back then?"

"Was it to raise Gu?"

"Or is it that I, Qin Yu, have too much free time and wanted to cultivate opponents for myself?"

This series of rhetorical questions...

...were like heavy hammer blows, smashing through Chu Youwei's psychological defenses.

It was true.

If the Qin Family were truly the murderers...

...given the Qin Family's power...

...how could she and her brother have lived until now?

Could it be...

...that her brother really got it wrong?

Chu Youwei's mind raced with possibilities.

"Don't overthink it."

Qin Yu saw that the timing was right.

He knew when to stop.

He reached out and naturally tucked in the corner of Chu Youwei's quilt.

In passing, he lightly flicked her smooth forehead.

"You are a patient right now."

"Your only task is to stay alive."

"As for the truth..."

"Time will prove everything."

"Just like your body, it is very honest."

"Is my medicine saving your life or harming you?"

"Can't you feel it for yourself?"

After saying that.

Qin Yu picked up the empty bowl and turned to leave.

Leaving behind a dashing, upright, and handsome figure.

Yet, it was also the lonely silhouette of one burdened by misunderstanding.

Chu Youwei stared blankly at the back that disappeared through the doorway.

Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Her body felt warm.

Her heartbeat was fast.

"Could it be..."

"Was Brother really wrong?"

The seeds of doubt.

Once planted.

Only required a little bit of gentle dew to irrigate them.

And they would sprout and take root wildly.

Growing into a towering tree.

Eventually bursting through that so-called sibling bond.

Outside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

As soon as Qin Yu stepped out the door.

The deep affection and integrity on his face vanished instantly.

Replaced instead...

...by the cunning unique to a predator.

"Tsk."

"This girl is too innocent."

"Shaken already?"

"It seems it won't even take three days."

Qin Yu tossed the empty medicine bowl in his hand.

"System."

"The moonlight is quite nice tonight."

"Exchange for a copy of 'One Hundred Methods for Efficiently Conquering Body and Mind' for me."

"And also, Li Yuan."

Qin Yu glanced back at the pitch-black, dilapidated side courtyard not far away.

That was where Chu Feng lived.

He smiled.

"Add a little something to that courtyard over there."

"Let the cold wind tonight..."

"...be even more violent."

...

Night fell.

Outside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, the cold wind howled.

Inside the pavilion, however, it was as warm as spring.

"Take off your clothes."

Qin Yu spoke indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken.

They were like a thunderclap exploding in Chu Youwei's mind.

Take off her clothes?

Her small face flushed red all the way to her ears in an instant.

She curled up in the corner of the bed, tightly clutching the brocade quilt around her.

Divine Son."

"Why...?"

Chu Youwei's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, tinged with a sob.

"This Divine Son has already exhausted a great deal of mental energy suppressing the cold poison for you."

Qin Yu sat by the bed with a look of exhaustion.

He patiently continued to explain:

"The Nine Yin Cold Poison in your body has long since seeped into your bone marrow."

"Ordinary medicinal soups can only warm the stomach; they cannot cure the root cause."

"To force out the cold poison, the only way is to use golden needles on the acupoints."

Using Grandmist Life Qi to uproot it inch by inch."

"If you don't remove your clothing, how can the golden needles provide precise treatment?"

"Are you suggesting This Divine Son should perform a blind treatment through your clothes?"

Qin Yu spoke as if it were only natural.

That clear and professional gaze...

...was exactly that of a peerless divine doctor acting solely for the patient's sake!

Chu Youwei was stumped.

The logic seemed sound.

But...

In all her years, let alone other men...

...even her brother had never seen her undressed.

But now, she was being asked to do so before someone she had just met.

And before a Devil Head who, according to rumors, killed without blinking.

To be completely exposed.

She truly didn't dare to imagine it!

"What?"

"Unwilling?"

Qin Yu's brow furrowed.

The gentleness and patience on his face were disappearing bit by bit.

"Fine."

"This Divine Son's good intentions seem to be somewhat of a forced imposition."

He stood up, making a move to leave.

"Since Young Miss Chu does not trust me, then there is no need for this treatment."

"Your brother is just outside; This Divine Son will have him take you away right now."

"You are on your own."

This move of retreating to advance was extremely devastating.

Leave?

Leaving now would be no different from dying, wouldn't it?

The pain from earlier, where even her Soul felt frozen...

...she certainly didn't want to experience a second time!

"No!"

"I'll do it!"

Seeing that Qin Yu was about to walk out of the gauze curtains, Chu Youwei panicked.

She bit her lip hard and made up her mind.

Her small face was pale, and tears welled in her eyes.

"I will do as the Divine Son says!"

Her voice was full of humiliation and helplessness.

Qin Yu's footsteps stopped.

He turned around, his face returning to that of a benevolent healer.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this from the start?"

"Rest assured, in the eyes of This Divine Son, you are merely a patient."

"The distinction between male and female is but a physical shell."

"Hurry now; the longer we delay, the deeper the cold poison will seep into your marrow, and the harder it will be to treat."

After speaking.

Qin Yu considerately turned his back to her.

Leaving her with his silhouette.

Chu Youwei looked at that back, her heart filled with a myriad of feelings.

Shame, fear, unease.

But behind these complex emotions...

...there was actually a trace of inexplicable security?

Perhaps...

...he really was just doing it for the treatment?

Her brother was still guarding outside.

Could he really do anything out of line?

With that thought.

Chu Youwei's hands trembled as she untied the silk ribbon at her waist.

The light gauze dress slid down her perfect curves.

Like a blooming white lotus peeling away its final petal under the candlelight.

What a jade-like body it was.

Skin whiter than snow, so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch.

Without a trace of excess fat, yet exquisitely proportioned.

Truly worthy of the innate dao fetus, a perfect masterpiece of the heavens.

"I... I'm ready."

Chu Youwei's voice was so small it was almost inaudible.

She kept her eyes closed, not daring to look at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu turned around.

Even with his eyes accustomed to peerless beauties, a flash of amazement couldn't help but flicker through them.

"Get ready!"

He quickly composed himself, his voice remaining calm.

At some point, a box of golden needles had appeared in his hand.

Chu Youwei obediently turned over.

Burying her face in the soft bedding.

She didn't dare to face anyone.

Qin Yu sat by the bed.

His fingers picked up a specially made golden needle.

He didn't apply the needle immediately, but instead reached out.

He brushed his hand across Chu Youwei's smooth back.

"Mm!"

Chu Youwei's delicate body trembled.

That unfamiliar touch made her scalp tingle.

"Don't move!"

Qin Yu barked out softly.

"This Divine Son is confirming the location of the lesions."

"If moving causes the golden needle to miss, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
