Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised by Bell's accusations.

He even gave a slight chuckle, a chuckle that Bell found utterly repulsive.

"Miss Belle, you can't say that." Lin Yu's voice remained calm, with a hint of persuasion:

"I am a potion master, and healing the sick and saving lives is my duty."

I have proposed the treatment plan that appears to be the most effective and least harmful to you.

As for necessary contact during treatment..."

Lin Yu paused, then looked at Bell with a frank expression: "That's only part of the treatment."

In the eyes of a doctor, there is no difference between men and women, only between lesions and health. Or perhaps...

Lin Yu's gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on Bell's chest, which was heaving violently with excitement. His tone held a hint of probing:

"Miss Bell, what else have you come to think of this simple medical procedure as?"

"I didn't!" Belle nearly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face turning bright red.

How could she possibly admit to those chaotic images that had just flashed through her mind!

"Are you sure it's just for treating the illness?" Bell's voice was forced out through clenched teeth.

"Sure."

"Aren't you taking advantage of me?"

"Miss Belle." Lin Yu placed the bottle on the table and put his hands in his pockets.

"If I wanted to take advantage of you, I could have taken much more advantage when you were poisoned and unable to move in the dungeon that day."

Bell paused for a moment.

Thinking back to the day before yesterday in the underground city, when she was poisoned and paralyzed in the stone chamber, Lin Yu helped her take off her clothes to detoxify her.

At that time, she was indeed unable to move. If Lin Yu really wanted to do something, she wouldn't even have the strength to resist.

But he didn't do it.

When she took off her clothes, her eyes were very clear, and her movements were quick and efficient. After treating the poison, she was dressed again.

Bell took a deep breath and then exhaled.

"Okay," she said. "How do I do it?"

"Go back to your room and lie down. Take off your shirt, and I'll go get ready."

Bell's face flushed even more, but she didn't say anything and turned to go into the room.

The door wasn't closed.

Lin Yu picked up the medicine bottle and a clean towel outside, stopped at the door of Bell's bedroom, and turned to ask inside:

"By the way, do you have any larger, well-sealed magical containers here?"

A rustling sound of fabric rubbing came from the room, followed by Bell's somewhat puzzled voice:

"A magic container? What would you need that for?"

"During treatment, there may be...excess waste products expelled." Lin Yu carefully chose his words:

"It would be a waste to just throw it away, and the site also needs to be kept clean to avoid contamination."

The room was quiet for a few seconds, as if everyone was processing the meaning behind Lin Yu's words.

Then Bell's voice rang out again, sounding even more embarrassed than before:

"I... I have a magic water bag that I use on adventures. It was given to me by a former teammate. It has space expansion and constant temperature runes. It can probably hold... thirty or forty liters? That should be enough, right?"

It was on the bottom shelf of the left-hand cabinet, covered with oilcloth.

"That's enough." Lin Yu walked to the cabinet she mentioned, squatted down and rummaged through it. Sure enough, he found a long, narrow object carefully wrapped in thick oilcloth.

Unwrapping the oilcloth revealed an old, dark brown water bag made of sturdy leather, its opening double-sealed with a metal buckle and a cork stopper.

The bag is embroidered with intricate space expansion runes and constant temperature runes in silver thread. Although it is somewhat worn, the magical fluctuations remain stable.

Holding a water bag, a medicine bottle, and a towel, Lin Yu walked to the bedroom door and knocked on the open door.

"Miss Belle, everything is ready. Shall I come in?"

"...Mmm." A muffled response came from inside, the voice seemingly coming from under the covers.

...

Lin Yu pushed open the door and went in.

The bedroom was much simpler than the outside room, with a wooden bed, a wardrobe, and a table.

Bell was already lying in bed, covered with a thin blanket that reached up to her chin.

Her face was flushed, her eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes trembled, her lips were pressed into a line, and her body was taut and straight under the covers.

Her long hair was spread out on the pillow, and the cow's ears, which were usually full of energy, were now drooping slightly, revealing a fragile feeling of trying to remain calm.

She had clearly taken off her top, and the curves of her body were visible beneath the blanket, her shoulders and collarbone exposed, her skin glowing with a soft ivory-white sheen in the dim light.

Lin Yu walked to the bedside, placed the water bag on the floor beside the bed, and put the medicine bottle and towel on the bedside table.

He pulled over a chair from the table and sat down beside the bed.

"Are you ready?" Lin Yu asked.

Bell's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes a crack, quickly glancing at Lin Yu before immediately closing them again and nodding almost imperceptibly.

Her hands were gripping the sheets tightly under the covers, her knuckles turning white.

"Relax, Miss Belle."

As Lin Yu spoke, he brought the bowl over: "Tension will cause muscle contraction, which will increase the difficulty and pain of unblocking."

"Who, who's nervous!" Bell retorted stubbornly, but her grip on the sheet tightened even more.

Lin Yu didn't say anything more, picked up the clean towel, folded it in half, and looked at Bell, saying:

"Now, pull the blanket down a little to expose the area that needs treatment; the towel will cover the rest."

Bell's body stiffened for a moment.

She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths.

Then, as if finally making up his mind, he loosened his grip on the sheet one by one, trembling, and slowly pulled the blanket down from his chin.

First the neck, then the delicate collarbone, and then the rounded shoulders...

The blanket slowly slid down, finally stopping just below the breasts, barely covering the waist and abdomen.

Large swathes of fair and delicate skin were exposed to the cool air, and a faint pink tinge appeared on her skin due to nervousness and shame.

Belle gripped the edge of the blanket tightly with both hands, her eyes closed and her face turned to the side, leaving Lin Yu with only a bright red and burning ear and slightly trembling eyelashes.

Without delay, Lin Yu unfolded the folded towel and gently placed it under her collarbone.

It cleverly obscured most of the scenery, revealing only the key areas that needed to be addressed.

This movement allowed Bell's tense body to relax slightly.

"I'm about to begin," Lin Yu said, his voice completely flat.

He then applied the medicine to the gloves, rubbed his hands together to ensure the medicine was evenly distributed on the surface of the gloves.
