“Hey, sweetheart, why are you only coming back now? Didn’t I tell you to go pick up our Director Dong?”
The moment she stepped in, Duanmu Lei, grinning, questioned her arrival. He had a beauty nestled in his arms, clearly enjoying himself to the fullest.
“Oh, don’t even mention it, big brother, I’m so sorry! My stomach suddenly started acting up, so I had to dash to the bathroom. It was awful!”
As the female technician spoke, she flicked her brows playfully, instantly catching Dong Tianyi’s attention. He pushed the woman on top of him aside and hurried over to her.
“Is that so? Perfect timing then, I’m that Director Dong. A little tummy ache’s no big deal, let me give you a proper check-up later!”
With a lecherous grin, Dong Tianyi pulled her into his arms, and she played along flawlessly.
Unnoticed, she slipped her phone—already set to record video—onto the ledge above her head. The move was so subtle no one caught it.
“Oh no, not again, this darn stomach! You guys keep having fun, big brothers, little sis has to step out for a bit!”
After setting everything up, she suddenly exclaimed, glancing at the phone on the ledge before leaving. In the dim, sultry lighting, the black device blended in perfectly.
She quickly returned to Xu Fei’s room. As she entered, she saw him sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, like a monk or Taoist on TV, and couldn’t help but study him curiously.
Perhaps because he’d healed her earlier, the more she looked at Xu Fei now, the more handsome he seemed. If not for her own status, she might’ve even pursued him herself.
“He’s so handsome…”
Unconsciously, she reached out and brushed her hand against him.
Meanwhile, Xu Fei, deep in his cultivation state, was honing his control over his pure Yang energy. A case as unusual as today’s had drained a fair bit of his energy.
Guiding the pure Yang energy through the needle into the woman’s armpit, wrapping it around that dark mist, and expelling it was a complex process that, at his current level, posed quite a challenge.
His strength could take on a hundred foes without issue, but healing and saving lives required precision and care, with no room for carelessness.
So, with no one to interrupt him now, Xu Fei seized the moment to practice.
But as he trained, he noticed something odd. Why was the silver needle in his hand growing unsteady, and why was the pure Yang energy’s colour shifting slightly, from a warm golden yellow to a brighter, clearer yellow?
“Strange, what’s going on?”
Suddenly, he felt an unusual sensation creeping up his back, prompting him to snap out of his cultivation state.
Only then did he realise the female technician had returned at some point and was bizarrely pinching him!
“What the hell, what are you doing?”
Xu Fei wanted to push her away, but she clung to him like an octopus.
Startled, heat surged through his body…
Just as he teetered on the edge of giving in, the pure Yang energy, which had vanished moments ago, erupted in his mind’s eye while his eyes were closed, blazing like a radiant sun!
The shock jolted him upright on the bed. He quickly resumed his cross-legged position, his consciousness chasing that beam of pure Yang energy deep into his mind.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Only then did the technician notice that Xu Fei now sat like a human statue—his arms, legs, everything rigid as stone. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t budge his posture.
“Did he fall asleep? What a weird sitting position.”
Muttering, she climbed onto him again, trying to get a closer look at what he was doing.
Lost in an introspective trance, Xu Fei followed the pure Yang energy on a journey through his body. Each time it reached a key acupoint, the energy would circle it, igniting it like a beacon, as if guiding him like a teacher.
He’d entered a deep cultivation state.
Time slipped by unnoticed. After touring all the vital acupoints in his body with the pure Yang energy, he suddenly felt someone jostling him from outside.
Opening his eyes, he found himself somehow wrapped in the technician’s embrace!
