Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 46
This is Definitely Not Peeking!

“Hmm?!”

A moment of silence followed Ning Yechen’s words.

“R-Right now…?” Qi Yuan asked, her face instantly flushing red as she lowered her head shyly.

Although she knew Ning Yechen didn’t mean it that way, taking off her clothes in front of a strange man was still embarrassing for her.

Luo Ruying frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Yechen, clearly displeased…

Ning Yechen realized that his words might have been inappropriate. He quickly approached Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye, and explained,

“Wife, don’t misunderstand. I meant using silver needles to open her acupoints and clear her meridians.”

“Of course, I know that.”

“I didn’t misunderstand anything…” Luo Ruying said, pouting and turning her head away.

Ning Yechen: “…”

She clearly looks upset…

“Wife, are you angry?” Ning Yechen asked with a smile, leaning closer to Luo Ruying, their shoulders touching.

“I’m not angry.”

“Don’t treat me like some petty and unreasonable woman,” Luo Ruying said, giving Ning Yechen a sideways glance. She took Luo Hongye from his arms and said calmly,

“Didn’t you say you have a way to heal her meridians? Go and help her then.”

Seeing Luo Ruying sulking slightly, Ning Yechen felt inexplicably happy. He agreed and walked towards Qi Yuan.

“Miss Qi, please follow me.”

With that, Ning Yechen led the way into the house.

Qi Yuan’s face was flushed red. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly followed him inside.

This is a rare opportunity. Whether Ning Yechen could truly heal her damaged meridians or not, she has to try!

This might be her last chance to cultivate in this lifetime!

Inside the house, Qi Yuan stood awkwardly, unsure what to do.

Ning Yechen sat cross-legged on the bed and said to her, “What are you waiting for?”

“Come here.”

“Just take off your clothes with your back to me.”

“Oh…”

Qi Yuan responded and nervously climbed onto the bed, her back facing Ning Yechen as she slowly undressed.

Taking off her clothes in front of a strange man was truly embarrassing for her.

But for the sake of being able to cultivate in the future, she endured her shyness and revealed her back.

In contrast to Qi Yuan’s shyness and embarrassment, Ning Yechen remained calm and unfazed.

Even while looking at her bare back, he felt nothing, not a spark of interest…

In terms of both figure and appearance, Qi Yuan was far inferior to Luo Ruying. How could he possibly be interested?

He had seen countless beautiful and enchanting women, but only his wife’s figure could arouse his interest…

Ning Yechen took out a set of silver needles from his pocket and spread them out before him. He swiftly and precisely inserted a few fine needles into the meridians on Qi Yuan’s back.

Actually, whether Qi Yuan took off her clothes or not made no difference to him. He could clearly see the flow of spiritual energy within everyone’s meridians and even the condition of their dantian.

Even through clothes.

The reason he asked Qi Yuan to undress was solely to avoid arousing Luo Ruying’s suspicion.

If he could accurately insert needles into the delicate meridians without removing her clothes, it would be too unbelievable and might raise suspicion.

In fact, he didn’t even need the silver needles; he could heal Qi Yuan’s meridians with just his fingers…

This acupuncture treatment was purely for show, for both Luo Ruying and Qi Yuan…

As Ning Yechen inserted a needle into Qi Yuan’s back, the slight sting caused her to let out a soft moan.

“Ahhn…”

Meanwhile, outside the house.

Luo Ruying stood by the door, holding Luo Hongye, her lips slightly pursed, and a sullen expression on her face.

For some reason, she felt inexplicably unhappy!

Luo Ruying turned her head and looked towards the room, her expression hesitant.

She wanted to see what was happening inside, but she also felt it wasn’t appropriate…

For a dignified Heavenly Empress to resort to peeking… it simply isn’t proper…

Besides, they are just treating an injury; there is nothing to worry about…

“Mommy, what are Daddy and that sister doing?” Luo Hongye asked, looking up at Luo Ruying with her big, innocent eyes.

“Ye Ye, Daddy is helping that sister heal her injuries,” Luo Ruying replied with a gentle smile.

In the next second, a soft moan came from inside the house…

Luo Ruying’s eyes widened involuntarily, and in a flash, she appeared outside the room, peeking through a gap in the window to see what was happening inside.

She is just curious about what is going on!

Concerned for their well-being, that’s all!

This is definitely not peeking!

Just one glance!

She will only take one look!

Luo Hongye blinked her big eyes, her face full of innocent curiosity.

What is Mommy doing?

On the bed inside the house, every time Ning Yechen inserted a needle, Qi Yuan felt a slight sting and a wave of heat on her back, causing her to let out a soft moan.

This made Ning Yechen hesitate to continue…

“Miss Qi, please don’t make strange noises, or my wife will misunderstand…”

“And please try to relax your body.”

Ning Yechen said with a helpless expression, holding a silver needle.

He had already noticed a pair of eyes glued to the window, staring intently at him…

Even if Luo Ruying thought he was just a mortal, anyone would notice such blatant staring…!

And she didn’t seem to realize it herself…

“I’m sorry…”

“I’ll try to hold it in!”

“Please continue, Brother Ning!”

Qi Yuan’s face flushed red, and she tightly covered her mouth.

She also knew the sounds she was making were quite strange!

But she couldn’t help it. Every time a needle was inserted, although there was a brief sting, it was followed by a wave of warmth and an indescribable sense of comfort…

She was already trying her best to restrain herself.

Ning Yechen felt that if he continued inserting the needles one by one, his wife would soon barge in…

Therefore, he picked up the remaining needles and swiftly inserted them all into Qi Yuan’s back at once!

“Eeeek!!!”

This time, even with gritted teeth, Qi Yuan couldn’t help but cry out, her face twitching slightly. The pain made her collapse weakly onto the bed.

After a while, Qi Yuan recovered and found that Ning Yechen had already removed all the needles from her back. He packed up his things and got off the bed.

“Brother Ning, aren’t you going to continue?”

“I can still endure it!”

Qi Yuan asked anxiously, looking up at him.

She thought Ning Yechen had stopped because he was worried she couldn’t handle it anymore.

Ning Yechen smiled faintly and said calmly, “Continue? It’s already over.”

“Hmm…?”

Qi Yuan looked puzzled, then tried circulating her spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy flowed smoothly through her body without any of the previous blockage or discomfort!

Her meridians are truly healed!

Is this real?!

Qi Yuan’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

She has truly recovered!

Her Qi family had spent countless gold, silver, and spirit stones, searching far and wide for divine and celestial healers, but none could help. Yet, this man before her had healed her with just a few needles!

The speed was simply unbelievable.

It felt like he had just casually inserted a few needles, and that was it.

It was so fast that it felt like she had just asked if they had started when she was told it was already over…
