Lin Yanxi's room was next to the stairs on the first floor, and Ding Fan carried her to her own room.

As Ding Fan pushed open the door to Lin Yanxi's room, the light inside was rather dim. Carrying the soft figure in his arms, the lighting at that moment could not help but provoke the imagination.

"Just put me on the bed," Lin Yanxi said to Ding Fan, somewhat impatiently.

Aside from the bath towel, Lin Yanxi was not wearing another piece of fabric. Being held by a man in such a state, her body was already shivering uncontrollably.

Ding Fan naturally felt the shivering of Lin Yanxi in his arms due to fear, so he gently laid her down on the bed.

The bed was large and soft. As soon as Lin Yanxi got onto the bed, she grabbed the quilt beside her and covered her body. With the quilt as a cover, Lin Yanxi's heart felt much steadier.

At this moment, Ding Fan did not leave. Instead, he slowly lifted Lin Yanxi's right leg.

Lin Yanxi's heart, which had been steadier, began to race once more. She worried that if she spread her legs any wider, it would be difficult to cover that embarrassing spot.

However, Ding Fan's next move dissipated her previous worries.

Ding Fan did not spread her leg too widely. He just slightly lifted her right calf, and then he began to massage with both hands. Lin Yanxi knew that Ding Fan was helping her reduce the swelling from the sprain she had just suffered, so she did not resist.

Ding Fan's skills were quite adept. Originally, Lin Yanxi felt a little constrained and anxious, but later on, she laid comfortably on the soft bed, allowing Ding Fan to massage her calf.

After about ten minutes of massage, the pain in Lin Yanxi's ankle had disappeared.

Lin Yanxi's calf was beautiful; Ding Fan even thought that perhaps not even a sculpture could replicate such exquisite calves.

Uniformly white, delicate and smooth... the tender touch also gave Ding Fan a momentary jolt. Nevertheless, he managed not to lose control due to his exceptional concentration.

"You should get dressed. I'll come back in to treat you," Ding Fan said, then left the room without looking back at Lin Yanxi.

Seeing Ding Fan actually leave the room, Lin Yanxi moved her recently sprained ankle and discovered, to her amazement, that it no longer hurt no matter how she moved it...

This Ding Fan, his medical skills were truly extraordinary...

After witnessing many of Ding Fan's incredible medical techniques, Lin Yanxi felt even more confident that Ding Fan could treat her illness.

She quickly got up from the bed and soon dressed herself from the inside out, wrapping up securely...

After getting dressed, Lin Yanxi then opened her room door to call for Ding Fan.

When Ding Fan entered the room for the second time, Lin Yanxi, who had previously let her hair drape loose over her shoulders, had now simply tied it into a ponytail.

If the previous Lin Yanxi looked pitifully charming, the current Lin Yanxi could be described with a phrase like 'beauty personified.' The neat ponytail further enhanced her lovely features.

Ding Fan glanced at Lin Yanxi, who was dressed in sportswear. "Take off the jacket. Just leave the undergarment on the inside."

Lin Yanxi hesitated but, after glancing at Ding Fan and pondering for a moment, took off her coat, leaving only a tube top underneath.

Seeing Lin Yanxi's actions, Ding Fan felt a sense of relief.

The reason why Lin Yanxi had locked herself in her space was that she did not trust people and things on the outside. Now that she was undressing in front of him, it indicated that she was starting to open up her heart to some extent.

"Lie down on the bed and get comfortable," Ding Fan said, pointing to the soft bed.

This time, Lin Yanxi hesitated for a moment.

It was now completely dark outside, and she was a woman alone in a room with a man, about to lie down on the bed. If someone else saw this...

Ding Fan naturally noticed Lin Yanxi's concerns. "I'm here to give you a massage; it's part of the treatment process."

The reason Ding Fan took the time to explain was that if Lin Yanxi remained guarded, it would undoubtedly complicate the treatment, so he needed to make her relax.

After thinking it over, Lin Yanxi looked at Ding Fan. "I am a karate black belt. If you have any ulterior motives, I will knock your jaw straight off," she said with a serious face, looking guarded.

Seeing her defensive stance, Ding Fan simply smiled lightly. "Don't worry, I won't."

After staring intently at Ding Fan for a few moments, Lin Yanxi slowly laid down on the bed.

Ding Fan walked over and sat down beside Lin Yanxi. Although Lin Yanxi seemed to be obediently lying down, Ding Fan could distinctly feel the wariness emanating from her.

The main reason Lin Yanxi ended up like this, as Ding Fan had heard from Lin Qingqing, was that her fiancé had fled on their wedding day, a blow that shattered her heart and led her to her current state.

In summary, Lin Yanxi's illness was psychological, due to her distrust of everything outside and her guard against everything, which made her lock herself in her own world.

In the medical terms of Earth, it would have been called autism.

Ding Fan gently lifted the upper half of Lin Yanxi's clothing, and in a moment, a large expanse of her white back was revealed to Ding Fan's eyes. To avoid trouble, Ding Fan even unhooked the clasp of her bra.

Bare shoulders and a beautiful waist appeared in front of Ding Fan without any cover.

Ding Fan then placed his right hand with two fingers touching and began to knead several acupoints on Lin Yanxi's back.

Initially, Lin Yanxi was still somewhat wary, but Ding Fan's technique was very skilled, and her previously tense skin completely relaxed after a while under his hands. Eventually, Lin Yanxi was so relaxed that she fell asleep without even realizing how it happened...

At this moment, Ding Fan kept kneading several crucial acupoints on Lin Yanxi's back with True Qi, stimulating the suppressed Qi inside Lin Yanxi's body, and then expelling them.

Ding Fan was busy for two straight hours before he stopped.

Ding Fan, feeling somewhat tired, stood up and stretched, while Lin Yanxi remained completely unaware, sleeping very sweetly.

By now, some of the suppressed Qi in Lin Yanxi's body had been expelled by Ding Fan, but it would still take some time for all of it to be driven out. Lin Yanxi's illness should not be rushed.

Since Lin Yanxi had fallen asleep, Ding Fan didn't stay any longer, after all, he didn't have those voyeuristic inclinations when it came to illness.

Ding Fan casually closed the door behind him and quietly returned to his room to continue Pill Refinement.

...

When Lin Yanxi woke up the next day, even she was astonished by how she had slept straight through until morning.

Ever since she developed depression and autism, she hadn't had a full night's good sleep for a long time.

Lin Yanxi got out of bed, drew back the curtains, and, basking in the sunlight pouring in from outside, felt an unfamiliar happiness wash over her.

Good mood! A rare good mood. She had nearly forgotten what this feeling was like after such a long time.

After enjoying the morning sun for a while, Lin Yanxi quickly realized that her current recovery was all thanks to Ding Fan.

"This Ding Fan really has some skills," she thought.

Previously, Lin Yanxi had consulted numerous famous doctors, but after their treatments, there was no improvement. Yet with Ding Fan, it was just some simple massage, and she had a whole night of good sleep.

This clearly showed the difference in skill level between those famous doctors and Ding Fan.

After leaving her room and having breakfast, Lin Yanxi saw Ding Fan in the courtyard.

At that moment, Ding Fan was planting something in the yard's flowerbed. Lin Yanxi was in a surprisingly good mood, so she walked over.

Ding Fan was planting the seeds of Fragrant Mind-Consolidating Grass. The Fragrant Mind-Consolidating Grass he had planted at the Ning Family Pharmacy in Dongcheng had all withered. Having come here, he thought he would not be leaving for a while, so he planted twelve seeds once again.

"Thank you for last night..." Lin Yanxi approached him, her expression still somewhat frosty, but her tone was much warmer.

Ding Fan glanced at Lin Yanxi's complexion and knew that the massage from last night had a significant effect on her condition. With this progress, he anticipated that after half a month of massages, Lin Yanxi's illness would be completely cured.

"Do you know anything about the collectible market in Honggang City?" Instead of responding to Lin Yanxi, Ding Fan asked directly.

As Ding Fan's cultivation grew, his need for a cauldron became increasingly urgent. Once he had a cauldron, his speed in alchemy and Pill Refinement would improve dramatically.

"The collectible market?" Lin Yanxi was stunned, not expecting Ding Fan to be interested in such a place.

"I don't have anything planned for today, I'll go with you," Lin Yanxi said. Her mood was so rare that even if Ding Fan hadn't mentioned going to the collectible market, she was thinking of going out for a walk.

"Then you can call Qingqing later. If both of us are out, there should be someone to look after things here. Ask Qingqing to arrange for a doctor to come over," Ding Fan said.

Although Lin Zhanting's illness was no longer a serious concern, it was still not good to be without someone to care for him.

Lin Yanxi heard what Ding Fan said and nodded, "Okay, I'll go make the call now."
