A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"Yes!" Zhou Ruo looked at him with wide eyes. She really did only eat fruit before.

All four of them sighed in unison, feeling that the child was too stubborn.

"Look at you, always talking like a child. Who eats only fruit and no other food?"

Ji Ping adopted the demeanor of a lecturing mother.

Granny Wang and Siqiao nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, Miss, where will you get your strength if you don't eat meat?"

"You'll need the energy to pick fruit after you eat!"

Zhou Ruo felt a strange pressure. Why didn't everyone believe her anymore?

She looked at Zhao Jinzhong, then at Ji Ping, and seeing their expectant eyes, Zhou Ruo's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

"Mother, brother, don't you love me anymore?"

The four of them were startled by her statement.

Ji Ping was the most anxious and asked her, "Why do you say that?"

"Why do you insist on making me eat things I don't like? I just want to eat fruit!"

"Silly child, it's precisely because everyone likes you and cares about you that we're letting you eat more meat so that you can recover faster."

Zhou Ruo fell silent. She could sense that no one meant her any harm, but she just couldn't feel happy.

Seeing her like this, the four of them didn't know how to comfort her.

Zhao Jinzhong racked his brains and finally came up with a solution:

"Ruoruo, how about this, you eat a bite of meat, then a bite of fruit, how about that?"

Ji Ping agreed, "Yes, yes, brother's method sounds feasible. Ruo'er, why don't you give it a try?"

Zhou Ruo thought about it and felt that this method was acceptable, so she nodded hesitantly.

Zhao Jinzhong broke off a chicken leg and held it to her mouth, while Ji Ping quickly peeled an orange and waited beside her.

Seeing that Ji Ping and Zhao Jinzhong had finished their preparations, Zhou Ruo reluctantly took a bite of the chicken leg.

The chicken leg meat stayed in her mouth for only a second before she swallowed it.

She then snatched the orange from Ji Ping's hand, ate two segments, swallowed them, and finally let out a breath.

The taste of the chicken was really hard for her to accept, but fortunately the orange flavor masked it.

After eating a few bites of chicken and finishing a large orange, Zhou Ruo stopped and refused to eat any more.

Because she was already full.

Strangely enough, after eating just a few bites of chicken, my body didn't seem so weak anymore.

As Zhou Ruo sensed this subtle change and looked at the roast chicken missing a leg, her defenses began to crumble.

Seeing that Zhou Ruo had made some progress, Ji Ping and Zhao Jinzhong didn't push her too hard and let her take her time.

After Zhou Ruo had eaten her fill and regained her strength, she turned her attention to Zhao Jinzhong.

She discovered that there were no traces of new energy on Zhao Jinzhong's body to help his blood and qi circulate; his recovery of his legs was entirely due to his own willpower.

"Brother, didn't Doctor Yu give you acupuncture?"

"Dr. Yu is currently in the military camp and can't take care of me."

Zhao Jinzhong said gently, as if he didn't care whether Doctor Yu gave him acupuncture or not.

He didn't realize that, subconsciously, he was thinking that with Zhou Ruo around, his leg would definitely get better.

As they spent more time together, he developed a dependence on Zhou Ruo's medical skills and an unconditional trust in the child.

"Ruoruo, didn't you just get a new set of silver needles yesterday? Do you want your brother to try them out?"

Only after Zhao Jinzhong reminded her did Zhou Ruo remember the treasure she possessed.

"Great! With this set of silver needles, we'll only need to needle my brother twice more at most, and his leg will definitely heal completely."

As Zhou Ruo spoke, she took out silver needles from her bosom.

Ji Ping was overjoyed to hear this.

"Come on, brother!" Zhou Ruo jumped off the bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

Zhao Jinzhong was taken aback. He had never intended to have acupuncture performed at Lanxiang Courtyard; he planned to do so later when he returned to Wude Courtyard.

Zhou Ruo had already taken out the silver needles and cleaned them with her spiritual power, but she saw Zhao Jinzhong leaning against the bedside without moving.

"Brother? Come on! What are you waiting for?"

Zhao Jinzhong hesitated, but Ji Ping knew that her son had a cleanliness obsession and also had his taboos as a man.

Ji Ping guessed that he probably didn't want to do treatment in a young girl's room, so she spoke up to explain on his behalf:

"Ruo'er, your brother isn't quite used to being here."

"Why aren't you used to it? You're acting like an old woman, all shy and hesitant. Brother, hurry up and sit on the bed, my arms are tired from holding it up."

At this moment, Siqiao and Granny Wang were pushing each other aside as if they had something to say, but in the end Siqiao spoke first:

"Yes, young general, let us also witness the young lady's legendary medical skills."

Zhao Jinzhong was somewhat hurt by Zhou Ruo's words, despite his usual arrogance.

He gritted his teeth and sat down on the bed.

"Brother, don't be afraid," Zhou Ruo said reassuringly before inserting the needle.

With Zhou Ruo's thirty percent spiritual power and the spiritual needles used by the Immortal Healer, she only inserted four needles before Zhao Jinzhong felt as if his legs were being roasted by fire.

A red aura coursed through Zhao Jinzhong's body. After a quarter of an hour, the needles were removed, and Zhao Jinzhong felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.

"Brother, get out of bed."

Zhao Jinzhong obediently got out of bed and stood up effortlessly.

Seeing that he was walking much more easily, Zhou Ruo said, "Brother, jump."

"This? Will this work?" Ji Ping showed a hint of nervousness.

She was worried that her son had finally recovered so much, and that another accident might happen if he jumped.

Zhou Ruo didn't speak, but just smiled and watched Zhao Jinzhong, waiting for him to jump.

Seeing the confidence in Zhou Ruo's eyes, Zhao Jinzhong stomped his foot on the ground slightly, feeling that there seemed to be no major problem.

Then, he jumped slightly, feeling very light, and didn't feel any pain when his legs landed as he had imagined.

Zhao Jinzhong glanced at Zhou Ruo again. Zhou Ruo had a confident smile on her face, as if encouraging him to try jumping higher.

He looked at Ji Ping again. Ji Ping was both surprised and delighted. She wanted to see him continue, but she was also afraid that he would get hurt. She had a complicated expression.

Zhao Jinzhong recalled Zhou Ruo's words earlier: "Like an old woman, all coy and hesitant."

His competitive spirit instantly gathered strength. He took a deep breath, leaped, and jumped half a meter high.

Ji Ping's heart soared with Zhao Jinzhong's leap, then plummeted as his feet touched the ground.

After landing, Zhao Jinzhong carefully felt the sensation in his legs; there was only a slight tingling sensation, no pain.

"Good heavens! Granny, what did I just see?"

Siqiao covered her mouth with one hand, unable to believe that she had just seen the young general jump half a meter high.

That young general who was paralyzed for two years can not only walk, he can even jump!

Not only can it jump, it jumped half a meter high!

Granny Wang couldn't speak, she just kept wiping away her tears.

Although she didn't usually show it, she knew how difficult the young general's life had been over the past two years.

She knew even better how much pain Madam Ji Ping was going through.

Now everything is alright!
