109: Chu Xiaoxiao's invitation

"Over 700,000!"

Feng Meimei turned to look at Guo Gang, a bitter smile on her face. "Nicknamed Guo Gang, why go through all this trouble? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Nicknamed Guo Gang quickly urged, "Meimei, don't talk now. Your body is weak, so rest well. I don't care about the money. You were generous back then, so consider this my way of repaying your kindness today!"

"Thank you, Nicknamed Guo Gang!"

Feng Meimei's tone was sincere; this time, she was truly touched.

Nicknamed Guo Gang shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. If you're going to thank anyone, thank Senior Qin. Frankly, his contribution helped me gather this 700,000, and it was actually Senior Qin who saved you today."

"Senior Qin?"

Feng Meimei was startled at first, but when she saw Qin Shou standing by the bedside, a faint smile on his face, she quickly understood.

Feng Meimei remembered how Qin Shou had won a large sum of money from Zhang Wei at the card table that day, and she already suspected that the medical expenses were likely paid by Qin Shou helping Nicknamed Guo Gang.

"Thank you."

Although Feng Meimei was extremely weak at the moment, she still managed to nod to Qin Shou in thanks.

Qin Shou shrugged, his expression indifferent, and said, "You don't need to thank me. If it weren't for Nicknamed Guo Gang, I wouldn't have acted."

With that, Qin Shou patted Nicknamed Guo Gang's shoulder and said, "You handle the rest. I'm going back now."

"Senior Qin, thank you so much this time. I truly don't know how to repay you!"

Nicknamed Guo Gang's voice was a little choked up. He knew in his heart that Qin Shou had saved Feng Meimei for his sake.

"Between brothers, don't mention such things."

Qin Shou waved his hand dismissively, an indifferent look on his face, and turned to leave.

Honestly, while Qin Shou didn't dislike Feng Meimei, as a reborn person, he couldn't stand Nicknamed Guo Gang's 'simp' behavior towards Feng Meimei.

Especially how Feng Meimei had rejected Nicknamed Guo Gang in the past, Qin Shou had seen it all. In Qin Shou's opinion, Nicknamed Guo Gang was simply deluded and bringing trouble upon himself.

Therefore, deep down, Qin Shou didn't really want to save Feng Meimei, and naturally didn't want to say much, too lazy to stay there any longer.

After all, since Nicknamed Guo Gang liked her, no matter how much Qin Shou disapproved, he couldn't say much. Everyone was an adult, and their own lives could only be decided by themselves.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving genuine gratitude from the other party, completing the first mission of 'Friend of Women,' successfully obtaining a trace of Innate Yin Qi, and automatically activating the Skill: 'Yin-Yang Harmony,' which converts it into true qi within the host's body."

However, what Qin Shou didn't expect was that just as he was about to leave, he suddenly received a system reward.

Qin Shou saw a faint golden light, like a firefly, fly from Feng Meimei's body into his own. This golden light was warm and gentle, instantly merging into his meridians.

Then, Qin Shou felt the cluster of true qi in his dantian explode like a volcanic eruption, instantly filling all his meridians.

Immediately, Qin Shou felt a thunderous roar in his mind, as if something had been opened.

The next moment, Qin Shou felt his thoughts become exceptionally clear, his five senses more acute, and everything around him became perfectly distinct.

"Congratulations, Master, for successfully breaking through to Yellow Rank Peak Grand Perfection, stepping one foot into Xuan Rank Initial Stage, becoming a Half-step Profound Rank. You are just one step away from the true Xuan Rank."

Just then, Ling'er's voice rang out in Qin Shou's mind again.

"What the heck! Ling'er, what's going on? What exactly was that golden light just now?"

Qin Shou was still a bit confused and didn't understand what had happened. He just felt a warm current flow into his body, and then he broke through. It felt like a dream.

Ling'er patiently explained, "Master, you may not know, but your Skill: Plucking Yin to Supplement Yang actually utilizes the absorption of Innate Yin Qi from women to replenish yourself, thereby increasing your strength. And this mission allows you to obtain Innate Yin Qi without intimate relations; you only need the other party's genuine gratitude."

"What the heck, there's such a good thing! I suddenly want to become a gynecologist," Qin Shou said with a grin and a teasing tone after hearing Ling'er's explanation.

"Hehe, that's a good choice, Master," Ling'er in Qin Shou's mind couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile sweetly.

"Um, Senior, please wait."

Qin Shou was still communicating with Ling'er in his mind when he suddenly heard Chu Xiaoxiao's voice and couldn't help but turn to look.

He saw Chu Xiaoxiao jogging towards him.

Chu Xiaoxiao's 'headlights' were not small either. She wore a well-fitting white coat that perfectly showcased her graceful figure. When she ran, they bounced quite a bit, making Qin Shou inadvertently glance at them twice.

Chu Xiaoxiao worshipped Qin Shou to the extreme at this moment. She was already a renowned doctor herself, but after witnessing Qin Shou's acupuncture skills today, she finally understood what it meant to have 'a heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people.'

However, when she ran up to Qin Shou, she noticed that his eyes were staring directly at her chest, which made her pretty face flush. She felt a little displeased, thinking, "How could Senior Qin be like this? He's supposed to be an otherworldly master."

Qin Shou also realized he seemed to have lost his composure just now. He quickly cleared his throat twice and resumed his 'master' demeanor, saying, "Dr. Chu, is there something you need?"

Seeing that Qin Shou's eyes had returned to clarity and were no longer staring directly at her chest as before, Chu Xiaoxiao felt somewhat relieved. She thought, "How could Senior Qin, an otherworldly master who saves lives, possibly peek at my chest? It seems I was overthinking things."

Chu Xiaoxiao collected her thoughts and said sincerely, "Senior Qin, in a while, the City will host a Traditional Chinese Medicine symposium organized by the Four Great Ancient Medical Families, to discuss how to promote and expand our Chinese medicine. I hope to invite you, Senior Qin, to participate. With your medical skills that can bring the dead back to life, this symposium would be meaningless without you."

Qin Shou was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't expected Chu Xiaoxiao to come for this reason. Qin Shou thought to himself, "I don't know a damn thing. I just used you earlier, and you actually take me for a divine doctor. If I go, won't my whole act be exposed?"

Thinking of this, Qin Shou flatly refused, shaking his head and saying, "I have been living in seclusion for many years and am unwilling to participate in the affairs of the secular medical community. I am truly sorry."

"This..."

Chu Xiaoxiao hadn't expected Qin Shou to refuse so decisively and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She still wanted to strongly invite Qin Shou to participate in the symposium, as it would be a great pity for such superb medical skills to go unnoticed.

"Then, Senior Qin, could you leave your contact information? In the future, if there's an opportunity, I hope to consult you on some of my medical questions."

Chu Xiaoxiao settled for the next best thing, hoping to maintain contact with Qin Shou. She planned to slowly persuade Qin Shou to participate in the Traditional Chinese Medicine symposium later. In her opinion, it was too wasteful for Qin Shou to remain anonymous with such formidable medical skills. He absolutely had to come out and help the world.

"Alright, that's fine."

Qin Shou thought to himself, "Conferences are out, but private chats, I'm quite willing."
