Chapter 67

"Ah~"

"Ow!"

"Don't, don't, don't! Senior Sister, not there, it hurts!"

"Shut up, endure it!"

"........."

Inside the room, Chen Che wailed like a ghost one sound after another, while Li Qingyan was flushed with heat, covered in sweat.

On the large bed, Chen Che lay on his stomach with his upper body bare, and Li Qingyan sat on his buttocks in a seiza position with her bare feet, staring intently at Chen Che's broad back.

At this moment, twelve Silver Needles were stuck all over Chen Che's back, and Li Qingyan was measuring a spot on Chen Che's waist with one hand, while holding the final Silver Needle in the other.

Li Qingyan meticulously searched for the acupuncture point on Chen Che's waist, then aimed at the spot and inserted the Silver Needle in her hand with speed, precision, and ruthlessness.

The last Ghost Gate Needle fell, and the thirteen Silver Needles formed a regular rhombus on Chen Che's back.

Li Qingyan reached out to take a bottle of essential oil-like liquid, poured a little onto the skin in the center of the rhombus, and then used a slender finger to smear it into a cross shape.

"What is that? It feels chilly," Chen Che said, looking up with a muffled voice.

"Don't talk!"

Li Qingyan flicked one of the Silver Needles with her finger.

"Ding~"

Under the guidance of True Qi, the Silver Needle began to vibrate. As the humming sound grew louder, the cross drawn by the mysterious liquid soaked into the skin, and patches of red Cloud patterns appeared on Chen Che's body.

Li Qingyan frowned, staring unblinkingly as the colorless liquid entered one of the "Clouds" bit by bit, then, as if chemicals were corroding steel, it burned hole after hole into the "Cloud."

Five minutes later, the colorless liquid was completely exhausted, but the holes in that "Cloud" gradually recovered.

A trace of disappointment and frustration appeared on Li Qingyan's face: "It seems it still doesn't work. I can only fully execute ten needles; although these last three were completed under your guidance, the effect is not good."

She pulled out the Ghost Gate Needles one by one and put them back into the scroll: "And the antidote this time is also ineffective; it still cannot cure the root cause."

"It seems this poison of yours requires a specific antidote," Li Qingyan sighed heavily, but did not get off Chen Che.

"It's fine, Senior Sister. I'm already used to it anyway. I just need to find the people who were hunting me down back then."

The Cloud patterns slowly faded, and the aftereffects caused Chen Che to gradually become hot and his breathing to quicken.

"I have been researching your poison all these years, but I have never found a single record of it."

Li Qingyan wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead. Having been too focused just now, she had broken into a sweat. To cool herself down, she undid a button on her shirt and pulled at the collar, revealing half a fragrant shoulder, with her black bra strap also exposed.

"Do you still remember what happened back then?" Li Qingyan exhaled, her hands naturally resting on Chen Che's back; the scorching temperature made her shiver involuntarily.

"Actually, I don't remember how I was poisoned."

Chen Che noticed the hands slowly stroking his back, which felt a bit ticklish.

"I didn't eat or drink anything. I only remember that the person chasing me hit me with a palm strike, then I passed out. When I woke up, I was poisoned."

Those soft palms were like a mischievous child, drawing pictures on his back.

Chen Che couldn't help but want to laugh, so he slowly turned over and lay on his back.

Li Qingyan did not get off; instead, taking advantage of Chen Che turning over, she used strength in her legs to stand up. Once Chen Che had adjusted his posture and lay still, she sat back down very naturally.

"It seems it's just as I suspected—it's a type of poison art. And given your current strength, since you still can't force the poison out, it must be a very formidable poison art!"

Li Qingyan said with a serious face.

Chen Che lay on his back, just in time to see Li Qingyan's half-exposed shoulder, and from this angle, the swell that was almost bursting the buttons of her shirt appeared even more surging.

"Gulp!"

Chen Che's Adam's apple bobbed, and his body grew even hotter.

"Speaking of which, you've been down the mountain for so long, how is the investigation going... Ah—"

Li Qingyan looked up abruptly and asked in astonishment: "What is that?"

"Uh..."

Chen Che thought for a moment and said: "A hidden weapon..."

Although she had not yet experienced intimacy, as a doctor, Li Qingyan naturally knew what that was.

The moment her thoughts were pulled back, she understood, but she still did not get off; instead, she lifted her perky buttocks and sat down heavily again.

"Oh~"

Chen Che cried out: "Senior Sister, it hurts..."

"Hmph, you bad boy! Senior Sister is talking to you about serious business, and you're actually thinking about bad things!" Li Qingyan chided, "Careful, or I'll castrate you!"

Chen Che chuckled: "Senior Sister, let's talk about business later. I haven't thanked you yet."

"That's true, I've been the one serving you all along; it's time for you to serve me too!"

Saying this, Li Qingyan got off Chen Che, sat cross-legged, and waited for Chen Che's massage service.

"Hurry up and massage well. Let me see if your skills have regressed," Li Qingyan straightened her beautiful back, which formed a graceful curve from the side.

Chen Che did a carp leap to his feet and first carefully looked Li Qingyan over.

Her white shirt looked a bit loose because she had undone two buttons, and now that she was sitting, her entire left shoulder was exposed, her skin as white as a porcelain doll.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing Chen Che not moving, Li Qingyan urged him.

Chen Che also sat cross-legged and placed his hands on Li Qingyan's shoulders, massaging with moderate force.

"Ah~"

Li Qingyan's body trembled, and she giggled: "Lighter, it tickles."

Chen Che slowly applied force with his hands, each movement precisely kneading away the tangled meridians, bringing Li Qingyan great relaxation.

Gradually, Chen Che was no longer satisfied with just the shoulders, and his hands began to move downward, massaging inch by inch along the curve.

After the back was massaged, Li Qingyan turned to face Chen Che, took the initiative to stretch out her long legs, and lifted her chin, signaling him to continue.

Chen Che shrugged his shoulders and continued the massage.

The material of the jeans was very good; aside from being able to feel the perfect contours of her calves through the fabric, he couldn't touch anything else.

This made Chen Che sigh inwardly: "What a waste of these long legs! Why does the clothing quality have to be so good!"

Due to the obstruction of the jeans, Chen Che had no choice but to massage honestly.

His hands roamed over her long legs, kneading, pressing, and rubbing every acupoint with just the right amount of force.

"Ah~"

Li Qingyan's expression was one of extreme enjoyment: "Junior Brother, your skills have improved again; this is so comfortable! Oh, yes, right there... use more force!"

"It is my honor to serve you, Senior Sister, but for the next massage, could you please change your clothes," Chen Che said with a resentful look on his face.

"Huh? Oh! That feels great!"

Li Qingyan was currently being massaged so comfortably that she didn't hear what Chen Che said for a moment.

"What did you just say?" Li Qingyan asked again.

Chen Che looked completely dejected and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking that next time I give you a massage, it would be even better if you could wear silk stockings."

"Pfft!"

Li Qingyan laughed: "You're dreaming, though it's not impossible; but it depends on your performance. If you make me feel good, Senior Sister, never mind wearing silk stockings, it wouldn't even matter if I didn't wear anything for you to see!"

"Third Senior Sister, you said it yourself; I promise to make you feel like you're in heaven!"

Chen Che's face was full of excitement as he spoke with absolute certainty.
