Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “What are you embarrassed about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s your brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you always say you wanted to marry him when you were a kid?” Xiao Qi chuckled, then turned to Zhang Fan: “Little Fan, is it a hassle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan’s shy demeanor, and his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl, looking like that, was quite endearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not a hassle, it’s straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just need to do acupuncture every day, and you’ll probably be fine after the college entrance exams,” Zhang Fan said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had no Spiritual Value left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To treat Zhang Xiaoyuan, he would need to harvest the Spiritual Value from Ye Xuan and Ye Yanran first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, treating Ye Yanran and Dad both required acupuncture, so he guessed treating Zhang Xiaoyuan would need similar methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, what are you waiting for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go treat your sister,” Zhang Yuanlin stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Zhang Xiaoyuan wasn’t biologically related, and had no blood relation to Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always treated Zhang Xiaofan as his own son and had always hoped that when the two kids grew up, they could be together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he married Zhang Xiaoyuan off to someone else, it would break his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qi also urged: “Go on then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Dad, can you brew this medicine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll need to drink it later,” Zhang Fan said, leading Zhang Xiaoyuan into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang was a bit puzzled, looking at their backs, and slowly said: “Second Brother, isn’t it a bit inappropriate now that Little Fan and Xiaoyuan are grown up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yuanlin laughed: “What, don’t you think my Xiaoyuan is good enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After raising this girl for so many years, I’d be worried giving her to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother, they have no blood ties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they like each other, we are reassured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang almost spat out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this was what they had in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking of Zhang Xiaoyuan’s adorable look, he also nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, what do we do now?” Zhang Xiaoyuan asked timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan replied: “Of course, acupuncture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, don’t we need to take off clothes for that?” Zhang Xiaoyuan’s eyes widened, her baby-fat cheeks instantly flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, otherwise, how could I treat you?” Zhang Fan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan sat on the bed, fidgeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of undressing in front of Zhang Fan made her face even redder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan took out the silver needle, looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan’s cute face, then chuckled: “It’ll be quick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan turned around, reluctantly undressed, then quickly jumped into bed like a rabbit, burying herself in the blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan laughed, teasing: “Xiaoyuan, did you want me to get under the blanket to perform the acupuncture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I poke the wrong spot, it’ll hurt you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan peeked out from the blanket, very embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled the blanket down, eyes closed: “Hurry up, bro.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan nodded, sat on the bed, took out the silver needle, and hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, without the system’s instructions, how was he supposed to do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he got it wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t do it, Uncle and the others would definitely suspect something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, why pretend to be so skilled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan opened her eyes to a slit, seeing Zhang Fan staring blankly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned even redder: “Bro, what are you looking at?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just do it already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright,” Zhang Fan snapped out of it, leaned closer, and carefully poked the needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very shallow, he almost instantly withdrew the needle after it barely pierced the skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should be fine, Zhang Fan thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Zhang Dongyang shivered at the sound, feeling uneasy: “Second Sister-in-law, they’re not doing anything inappropriate in there, right…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dongyang wasn’t sure if that little rascal Zhang Fan had any ill thoughts, especially with that sound…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screaming came again from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qi also started to doubt what Zhang Fan and Zhang Xiaoyuan were doing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up: “I’ll go check.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Creak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door sound startled Zhang Fan, causing the needle to poke deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaoyuan screamed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt, why did you come in?” Zhang Fan almost broke into a cold sweat from Xiao Qi’s sudden entrance, quickly turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a bit of blood coming from Zhang Xiaoyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan quickly wiped off the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Missed the spot, it bled,” Zhang Fan said awkwardly, wiping his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, you continue,” Xiao Qi saw that Zhang Fan and Zhang Xiaoyuan weren’t up to anything else, quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah.” Zhang Xiaoyuan turned her head, saw Xiao Qi leaving, then hugged the blanket, burying her head in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So embarrassing, being seen by Mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should she do, what should she do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, it’s done,” Zhang Fan swiftly put away the silver needle, not daring to stay in the room any longer, and quickly ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So awkward, too awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt suddenly walked in, what was that all about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan’s mind was in turmoil, feeling like he had done something wrong and got caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finished?” Zhang Yuanlin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finished.” Though Zhang Fan had thick skin, he couldn’t help blushing a bit now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, didn’t I tell you to brew the medicine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you still here?” Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Dongyang’s complicated expression, feeling even more anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they just waiting outside for him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan grabbed the medicine and headed straight to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh, what a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qi followed him into the kitchen, watching Zhang Fan’s embarrassed face, and said slowly: “Little Fan, actually, Xiaoyuan is adopted, not your real cousin, so don’t feel burdened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not his real cousin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, he remembered hearing Uncle say outside that they couldn’t have children!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Uncle and I, we hope you call us Mom and Dad in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You didn’t have a mom growing up, and we’ve always treated you as our own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like that girl Xiaoyuan, go after her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you two get together, we’d be reassured,” Xiao Qi said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like her, go after her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reassured if we’re together?” Zhang Fan almost dropped the medicine pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt’s words meant she wanted him to be with Xiaoyuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t feel burdened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyuan has long known she’s not our biological daughter, so if you really like her, your Uncle and I will talk to her,” Xiao Qi added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, you take care of Xiaoyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your Uncle and I will go back to the Capital City tomorrow,” Xiao Qi said softly, as Zhang Fan’s hand slipped, the medicine pot fell out of his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-08T10:03:05.605Z",1,"novelbin.me","3272bd0c175ea431d899167f8003c89cae3628f83b8046560c8f4a522e441b70","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-33","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-31",1920,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-cover.jpg"]
