Chapter 216: Lianxing Recovers

Inside the room.

Lianxing was sitting on the bed dressed in palace robes; the robes were like snow, further setting off her noble and ethereal demeanor.

Yet she seemed somewhat distracted, her lovely face changing constantly, smiling one moment and shyly annoyed the next. It was unclear what she was thinking about, but her mood was clearly very complex.

Footsteps sounded, and Yu Liancheng had already walked over, carrying a tray in his hands. On the tray were porridge and a few exquisite side dishes. He smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Drink the porridge first; later, we will treat the problem with your limbs."

Lianxing bit her lip and nodded. She took the jade-white porcelain bowl, opened her cherry-red mouth slightly, and ate the side dishes, quickly finishing the bowl of porridge.

Yu Liancheng could not help but smile: "It seems you were indeed exhausted last night; your appetite is surprisingly good today."

"You're asking for death!" Lianxing's face flushed with shame, and she glared fiercely at Yu Liancheng.

Yu Liancheng still wore a smile as gentle as a spring breeze: "Your current maidenly demeanor is truly heart-stirring. So, in order for us to successfully heal your limbs today, you had best restrain yourself."

Lianxing glared at Yu Liancheng again.

"Alright, let us discuss the issue of treating your limbs. I have two methods. One is based primarily on medicinal herbs, supplemented by esoteric techniques; the treatment time is slightly longer, taking at least three days and up to half a month."

Yu Liancheng smiled: "As for the second method, it is based on techniques, supplemented by medicinal herbs. This method is very fast; it might help you recover today, but you may have to endure great pain during the process."

Lianxing said without hesitation: "I choose the second one."

Yu Liancheng smiled and nodded: "In that case, take off your clothes."

Lianxing could not help but widen her eyes: "I have to take off my clothes?"

Yu Liancheng said: "Of course, isn't that a redundant question?"

Lianxing said: "I choose the first one."

"The first one also requires taking them off."

Lianxing bit her lip and said: "Must I really take off my clothes?"

Yu Liancheng nodded: "Of course. Your limbs being broken was a matter of your childhood; treating it back then would have been nothing. But now, the meridians and bones have completely shifted, and pulling one hair affects the whole body. I must be extremely careful during treatment; if I make even the slightest mistake, you will be in big trouble."

Lianxing's expression shifted, appearing both shy and annoyed.

Yu Liancheng smiled again: "Last night we already went to Wushan together and did the most intimate things; why are you still acting shy now? Could it be you want to drink two more cups of wine to bolster your courage?"

Being reminded by Yu Liancheng, Lianxing could not help but recall the intimate contact of yesterday. Her already restless heart became even more flustered. She turned her head away and said petulantly: "You only know how to mock me; I won't be treated."

"Fine, fine, fine. I suddenly thought of a method where you don't need to take off your clothes."

"What method?" Lianxing's eyes lit up, and she turned her head back.

Yu Liancheng took a step forward and reached out to untie her snow-white dress sash: "I will take them off for you; that way you don't have to do it yourself."

"You fellow..." Lianxing's cheeks were like fire, and her bright, alluring gaze shifted, full of charm. She reached out to push Yu Liancheng away, but for some reason, she felt completely powerless.

Just as she was about to say something, Yu Liancheng had already skillfully unfastened her clothes.

That snow-like skin was exposed to the air. With her internal strength, she had long been impervious to cold and heat, but at this moment, she could not help but shiver.

"Alright, you must endure a little pain." Yu Liancheng's hands stroked Lianxing's snow-white skin, and deep, thick True Qi continuously surged into Lianxing's body to help her nourish her meridians: "By the way, there is also the 'Sun and Moon Bright Heaven True Formula' I taught you. That is a martial art I have revised; remember to circulate this technique later, it will be of great benefit to you."

"Mm, I know... ugh..." Before she could finish speaking, Lianxing's originally jade-like complexion suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat seeped out from her translucent skin. It turned out that the moment she spoke, Yu Liancheng had already snapped her hand bone, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Endure a little... also, do not forget to circulate the 'Sun and Moon Bright Heaven True Formula'; this is very important for the treatment..."

Lianxing's left hand and left foot had been broken since childhood; the meridians and bones had grown wildly for who knows how many years. Some normal meridians had atrophied, while others had developed to be thicker than those of ordinary people. Meridians and bones that should not have been connected were now joined together.

In such a complex situation, even the "Godly Physician" Wan Chunliu would likely find it extremely thorny.

But Yu Liancheng would not.

Because besides his brilliant medical skills, he was also a top-tier expert in the world, and the variety of things he had learned was almost unmatched.

And whether it was the 'Lianhua Treasure Mirror', the 'Sun and Moon Bright Heaven True Formula', or even the 'Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Arts', all contained quite a bit of useful knowledge regarding this aspect.

Martial arts were, in themselves, the most incredible existence in the world.

Atrophied meridians were stimulated with medicine and True Qi, thick meridians were suppressed, and bones and meridians that should not have been connected were brutally and forcefully snapped apart, then reconnected, using precious medicinal herbs and special techniques to continue the meridians and set the bones.

Of course, during this period, Lianxing needed to suffer a bit.

Amidst a series of soft, whimpering cries, Yu Liancheng suddenly struck a hand-blade against Lianxing's slender neck, causing her to faint.

The part where she needed to circulate the 'Sun and Moon Bright Heaven True Formula' had passed; what followed could be left to Yu Liancheng, and there was no need to let her suffer any longer.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

With an "ugh," Lianxing slowly regained consciousness.

She opened those bright eyes and saw the window, and saw the bright moon outside the window.

Immediately after, she discovered that her whole body felt warm, and there was a strange fragrance in her breath. Looking down, she realized she was in a wooden bathing tub, and the tub contained a mixture of various medicinal herbs.

Her eyes were discerning, and she had already recognized many rare and precious medicinal herbs.

These herbs were such that even if the Yihua Palace wanted to collect them, it would be a troublesome task.

It stood to reason that they were sent by the Duan Family, whom Yu Liancheng protected.

Duan Hefei was wealthy and powerful, and having started as a merchant, he was much more convenient in this regard than the Yihua Palace.

"You're awake."

This was Yu Liancheng's voice.

Lianxing turned and immediately saw Yu Liancheng.

Yu Liancheng stood to one side, holding a book in his hand, smiling as he looked at Lianxing in the tub.

Lianxing could not help but blush again, subconsciously covering her chest.

"You woman..." Yu Liancheng could not help but shake his head: "If I wanted to look at you, I would have seen you from head to toe long ago. With this time, you might as well look at your hands and feet. The effect is a little worse than I expected, but I imagine after recuperating for a few days, it should be about right."

Lianxing could not help but be stunned; she slowly raised her left hand.

That left hand which was originally deformed and slightly ugly.

This arm was slender and soft, the skin like jade; add a fraction and it would be fat, subtract a fraction and it would be thin, the curves were perfect, without the slightest disharmony.
