Chapter 58: Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Sixteen‑Year‑Old Beauty, Her Body Like Butter

Holding the silver needle, Jiang Yunzhou's expression turned solemn, as if he had become a different person.

Yang Hanlu's smooth, flawless back lay fully before his eyes—untouched virgin territory for the silver needle in his hand.

Ding!

The first needle pierced the Mingmen point on his lower back; as the silver needle went in, pure yang qi flowed slowly from Jiang Yunzhou's fingertips into it.

Yang Hanlu felt only a warm current entering her body with the needle.

"How is it? Yu Wang, can you replicate it?"

"No problem."

Hearing that, Jiang Yunzhou relaxed, pinching the silver needle between two fingers and began quickly needling Yang Hanlu's back.

From the waist upward, he needled almost every point, even some not recorded in normal medical texts, then left the silver needle in several major points.

Yang Hanlu and Yu Wang felt as if their blood and qi were being gently pushed along, the needled spots instantly becoming much smoother.

And Yu Wang sensed that the toxic blood unable to be expelled was being nudged bit by bit by the needles; recalling something, he confirmed:

"This is... Immortal Needle Point Crossing!"

Jiang Yunzhou remained silent, not admitting it, which made him seem even more mysterious and able to overawe this demon with his presence.

But Yu Wang had clearly recognized it, and laughed:

"They say Immortal Needle Point Crossing, if you run through all the body's points according to a fixed secret method, can cure any poison in the world. You actually know this! But I heard from the demon doctor that this technique is not only mysterious, it also demands extremely high skill from the practitioner—one mistake and the meridians will be scrambled. Do you really have the confidence, kid?"

Jiang Yunzhou placed his hand on Yang Hanlu's smooth shoulder, gave it a squeeze, and said:

"Chief Yang, do you trust me?"

Yang Hanlu had already resolved herself to die, knowing she had fallen into the abyss for revenge, but now Jiang Yunzhou and Zhen Nüxia were like a last piece of driftwood, willing to brave the danger to help her.

Back then she had no choice but to gamble everything for revenge; now, with such friends to rely on behind her, how could she possibly retreat even a step?

She then gripped Jiang Yunzhou's hand, smiled, glanced back, nodded slightly, and said:

"With you two risking yourselves to save me today, I believe anything—Young Master Jiang, please proceed with the needling."

Only then did Jiang Yunzhou calm his mind and breath, continuing the needling.

However, because there were many points and each required a generous amount of pure yang qi, after needling Yang Hanlu's beautiful back, Jiang Yunzhou's forehead began to sweat; Zhen Qing could only assist by wiping his sweat from the side.

Not long after, even Yu Wang joined in reminding him:

"Hey, kid, are you really all right? Each burst of pure yang qi you pour in is substantial—don't let the poison go unsolved while you get drained first."

"What the hell kind of tiger-wolf talk—demon folk just speak so casually."

"Young Master Jiang, if you can't, please don't push yourself."

Jiang Yunzhou exhaled and joked:

"A man can never say he's unable—continue! Time to face the front."

After working so hard, it's time to reward himself.

Jiang Yunzhou rubbed his sore fingers and sat down directly in front.

My heavens...

The world actually holds such beauty; the spring light outside the window instantly paled.

The lovely scene of "spring rain moistening the streets like butter" could not compare to the exquisite sight of "a sixteen‑year‑old beauty whose body is like butter."

Everything was worth it—learning Immortal Needle Point Crossing day after day on corpses wasn't just to admire this scene, wasn't it just to be able to save a life today?

Faced with that earthly marvel, Jiang Yunzhou also wanted to look away and attend to his treatment in earnest.

But the wondrous object occupied too large a share of his field of view; he couldn't shift his gaze.

Jiang Yunzhou even wanted to ask: Chief Yang, aren't you affected when you move about normally?

The more he reminded himself not to look, the more his eyes involuntarily drifted that way—plus, there were several points there he couldn't avoid needling.

Yang Hanlu felt the same; although her lower body was clothed, facing a man with her upper body completely bare was a first for her.

She couldn't help but bite her lip, turning her flushed face away, telling herself over and over in her heart that this was just treatment, not to hold back Young Master Jiang.

Yet her gradually heating body and the skin beginning to flush red from white honestly betrayed her tension.

Jiang Yunzhou thought, Chief Yang, you'd be better off just looking straight on; this coy reluctance poses a greater challenge to a man's mental defenses.

As the saying goes, what could be more tempting than being completely naked? Of course, wearing a pair of white socks.

With iron‑clad will, Jiang Yunzhou once again drove the silver needle into Yang Hanlu's major points on the front.

And he did it without any pause, driving straight through.

Because he feared that if he stopped, the thing occupying his view would draw his attention away.

Moreover, at each spot he not only had to insert the needle but also press with two fingers to inject pure yang qi—needless to say, it felt quite elastic.

As he did so, Yang Hanlu and Yu Wang almost simultaneously let out a soft groan; Jiang Yunzhou could only pretend not to hear and continue needling.

Finally, after placing the last two needles on the front, Jiang Yunzhou quickly turned his head and said:

"All right! Now lift both arms!"

Yang Hanlu still worried:

"Young Master Jiang, are you really all right? Should we take it slow?"

"No, can't stop! Raise your arms and hold still."

Speaking with slightly unsteady breath, Jiang Yunzhou rose to his feet, simultaneously needling the major points on both of Yang Hanlu's arms, not missing a single one, continuing down to the wrists before stopping and saying:

"Phew, all right, the needling is finished."

Having finished the needles, he relaxed, lowered his head, and sat down—almost bumping into the captivating object that had drawn his attention.

"Put on... put on clothes! First drape clothing over Chief Yang!"

As soon as Yang Hanlu had draped on her clothes, she rushed forward to check Jiang Yunzhou's condition, confirming his blood flow was normal and no excessive qi had been transmitted before relaxing, and also marveling at the depth of his qi sea.

Looking at her unchanged hands, she felt puzzled; before she could speak, Yu Wang's demonic aura exclaimed in surprise:

Amazing! Your medical skill is truly amazing!

After taking the water Zhen Qing handed over and gulping two mouthfuls, Jiang Yunzhou then asked:

Has the poisonous gas already gathered in both palms?

Not bad! So next, should we release the poisonous blood?

No! Absolutely not! That wouldn't clean it out; just blast out the force from both palms.

Hardly a few breaths later, the Jade King's voice came again:

Success! I didn't expect this poison to actually have a solution, you...... uh? No! Why is there still residual poison in my body!

Regarding this, Jiang Yunzhou seemed to have anticipated it, explaining calmly:

Of course, that's because I didn't help you clean it all out, didn't you see I just had Yang Zongqi take off his upper body?

What did you say?! Why? Are you embarrassed to undress for treatment?

Jiang Yunzhou explained with a smile:

Don't get angry, as an upright gentleman physician, how could I be embarrassed to undress? Simply walking through all the meridians on the body to clear the toxin is indeed feasible.

But you've suffered such severe poisoning and injury, yet you're still so formidable; if we truly detoxed you completely, what if you turned against us and refused to recognize us—what could the three of us do to you?

So I'll help you remove most of the poison, first repaying the favor Yang Zongqi owes you; anyway, the remaining poison will only occasionally make you a bit itchy, with no major impact, guaranteeing our safety—let's slowly detox, how about that?

The Jade King silently cursed this kid for having such deep scheming.

But I have to admit, his concern is indeed reasonable; I really have wondered if there's a way to keep so many people from knowing my affairs.

But this guy laying it out openly actually puts my mind at ease; an open threat is better than covert scheming, though his method is somewhat shameless:

Well then, there actually exists such a shameless physician in the world.

Hearing this, Zhen Qing gave a soft hum, thinking, 'What is this? Not giving you extra poison on the side is already not bad.'

If it weren't because our positions clash with this monster, Zhen Qing would have stepped forward to shake hands and chat with this Jade King about Jiang Yunzhou's other shameless deeds.

In that case, does the Jade King agree not to seize Yang Zongqi's body?

Hmm, the deal is done, but I will still stay inside her for a while; as for the remaining poison, it can be slowly resolved later.
