184: Come to the bowl obediently!
"Brother-in-law knows me best!"
"Come on, let's keep drinking!"
Pei Yunxi poured herself another three taels of wine, this time only taking a small sip and not downing the entire glass.
If she were to chug it all in one go, Pei Yunxi was genuinely afraid that Jiang Che and Leng Qingqiu would have to carry her back.
Once all the dishes were served, the three of them began to clink glasses and drink together.
Amidst the clinking of cups, the atmosphere grew livelier, and the private room was filled with continuous laughter and cheer.
Halfway through the meal, Pei Yunxi suddenly put down her wine glass. Her delicate body curled up on the wooden chair, and fine beads of sweat began to seep from her forehead. Cold sweat trickled down her face, which turned pale, revealing a look of pain.
"I told you to drink less, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened!"
Leng Qingqiu glared at Pei Yunxi with a hint of exasperation and a touch of heartache.
She sat down next to Pei Yunxi, extended her slender hands, and began to gently massage Pei Yunxi's arm.
"How is it? Do you feel any better?"
"Still... still hurts!"
Pei Yunxi frowned, wincing in pain, but still gritted her teeth and endured.
A year ago, while apprehending a certain criminal, Pei Yunxi was ambushed, and her arm was slashed, injuring her bone marrow.
Although the surgery was timely, her right arm developed a strange condition of intermittent pain, and the attacks were completely unpredictable. Even after consulting numerous famous doctors, there was no cure, only symptomatic relief.
"Did you bring the ointment the doctor prescribed in your car?"
"I... I think so?"
"Bear with it for a moment, I'll go get the medicine..."
Saying this, Leng Qingqiu made to get up from her seat to retrieve the medicine, but Jiang Che stopped her.
"No need to go. Let me take a look..."
Jiang Che motioned for Leng Qingqiu to calm down and walked over to Pei Yunxi.
"Brother-in-law... what are you doing?"
Pei Yunxi slightly raised her eyes, blinking her watery big eyes, feeling that Jiang Che was a bit inexplicable.
"I can heal it. Don't move."
Saying this, Jiang Che reached out and grasped Pei Yunxi's arm, beginning to use Ability: Reviving Spring from Withered Wood, one of the miraculous skills he had just obtained from the lottery today. He was eager to see how effective this special skill truly was.
Crystalline green true qi began to spread from Jiang Che's fingertips, and under the astonished gazes of the two women, it all flowed into Pei Yunxi's arm, starting to heal her damaged and necrotic bone marrow, restoring its vitality.
Jiang Che naturally knew about Pei Yunxi's hidden ailment.
Originally, this was a welfare plot arranged by the Heavenly Dao for Chen Hao.
With Chen Hao's medical skills as a divine doctor who descended from the mountains, healing Pei Yunxi's hidden ailment was not a particularly difficult task, and given Chen Hao's extremely lecherous personality, physical contact during the treatment process would have been inevitable.
This way, their relationship could have quickly warmed up.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao's entrance was a bit off. The first time they met, Pei Yunxi labeled him as a disgusting gay man and a cross-dresser.
As a result, no matter how Chen Hao explained himself later, Pei Yunxi never believed him, and she even had her subordinates 'take good care' of him, completely crushing the arrogant spirit of the mountain-descending divine doctor.
Now, when Chen Hao sees Pei Yunxi, he's like a mouse seeing a cat, avoiding her at all costs, and naturally, he never mentions anything about treating her illness.
A few breaths later, after all the emerald green true qi had flowed deep into Pei Yunxi's arm, Jiang Che withdrew his fingers and said with a faint smile, "It's done. I've completely cured your hidden ailment."
The infusion of countless vital energies not only thoroughly cured Pei Yunxi's hidden ailment but also made her radiant and energetic, her face glowing with health, and her spirit reaching an unprecedented peak.
As an added bonus, Jiang Che also dealt with the shocking and hideous scar on Pei Yunxi's arm, making her skin incredibly smooth and lustrous again.
This was also the first time Jiang Che had used the Ability: Reviving Spring from Withered Wood skill.
Now it seems the effect is indeed heaven-defying, and the system really wasn't boasting.
"This..."
"I really don't feel any pain at all... Is it really cured?"
"Brother-in-law, how did you do that?"
The one who felt it most deeply was undoubtedly Pei Yunxi herself.
One moment she was in excruciating pain, the next she was completely healed, no longer feeling any discomfort.
Moreover, Pei Yunxi could clearly sense the abundant strength in her right arm at this moment, a state she had never experienced since the surgery. This indicated that her hidden ailment had indeed been completely cured.
Pei Yunxi's beautiful eyes widened, her jaw dropped, her face filled with shock, her cherry lips slightly parted in astonishment. A tumultuous wave surged within her heart, unable to calm down for a long time...
Good heavens, this is outrageous!
Just by being squeezed twice, her hidden ailment was completely cured?
Is this Jiang Che even human?
Are such methods truly something a human can possess?
"Husband, this..."
Leng Qingqiu was also extremely shocked, her small head filled with great confusion.
Could it be that her abnormal husband also had some medical skills?
But... his method didn't seem like medical skill at all!
"It's just a special cultivation technique..."
"The cultivation technique I practice is very unique; the true qi it condenses has the effect of curing all diseases."
Jiang Che made up a casual excuse, spouting a couple of random sentences.
"Is that so...?"
Leng Qingqiu blinked her beautiful eyes, nodding silently, lost in thought.
She had indeed seen strands of crystalline green true qi spreading into Pei Yunxi's skin, and she fully accepted Jiang Che's explanation.
After all, under Jiang Che's inherited knowledge and tireless guidance and urging, she had also become a bona fide Peak of Bright Force martial artist, no longer the pampered female CEO she once was.
The 'Sutra of the Plain Girl' she was currently cultivating was already an extraordinary cultivation technique, so it was only natural that Jiang Che would cultivate such a miraculously powerful internal art, wasn't it?
"Thank you, Brother-in-law!"
"This time, I owe you another favor..."
Pei Yunxi changed her usual straightforward style, her expression coy, a hint of shyness appearing on her pretty face. She was uncharacteristically embarrassed, her heart filled with immense gratitude towards Jiang Che.
The more favors she owed, the more she wondered how she could repay them.
She couldn't possibly end up giving herself away, could she...?
"Pei Yunxi is extremely grateful to you. Emotion value +15514..."
"Leng Qingqiu is greatly surprised. Emotion value +7879..."
"It's just a small matter..."
Jiang Che humbly said, accepting it with pleasure.
Sometimes, what comes for free is the most expensive.
Contrasting police flower?
Hehehe, just obediently come into my bowl!
"Husband, since you can treat Yunxi's hidden ailment, then... can you cure congenital heart disease?"
Leng Qingqiu seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She slightly raised her eyes, her pretty face filled with anticipation as she looked at Jiang Che, her tone brimming with irrepressible excitement.
Pei Yunxi also stared at Jiang Che with burning, eager eyes, silently awaiting his answer.
