Ye An paused for a moment, holding the teacup.

He looked at Su Wanqing across from him, somewhat puzzled: "You didn't tell me you had any cold-related ailments."

Su Wanqing's face turned even redder. How could she possibly tell such a thing to a man she had only met once?

"Alas!" Su Hongchuan sighed heavily. "Mr. Ye, you may not know this, but it's not just ordinary coldness; it's an incurable disease passed down through generations of women in our Su family!"

"Women afflicted with this incurable disease do not live past the age of thirty. When it strikes, it is as if they are in an ice cave, suffering unbearable pain. I have consulted all the famous doctors in the land, but they are all helpless."

As he spoke, he called out to the door, "Dr. Li, please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Simiao walked in and cupped his hands in greeting to Su Hongchuan and Ye An.

"Dr. Li, please tell Mr. Ye about Wanqing's condition," Su Hongchuan gestured.

Li Simiao nodded and said in a deep voice:

"I have examined Miss Su's pulse several times. The coldness in her body is extraordinary; it has penetrated deep into her bone marrow and is connected to her life force."

"Ordinary medicines simply cannot cure it; forcibly using potent drugs will only damage its root cause."

"All I can do is use gentle tonifying methods to barely delay its onset, which is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

He looked at Ye An, his tone sincere:

"My previous suggestion was for Miss Su to unite with a man of extremely yang and strong constitution, so that the yang energy could neutralize the cold energy. It was truly a last resort. If Mr. Ye is indeed the destined one, perhaps this is a glimmer of hope."

After listening, Su Hongchuan looked at Ye An with anticipation: "Mr. Ye, what do you think? As long as you agree, our Su family will do everything in our power!"

Su Wanqing also nervously raised her head, biting her lip, waiting for his answer.

However, Ye An shook his head.

"I cannot agree to this marriage."

One sentence made the air in the living room freeze instantly.

Su Hongchuan's enthusiastic smile froze, and Su Wanqing's eyes dimmed, a wave of indescribable disappointment washing over her.

Li Simiao frowned slightly, feeling that this young man was somewhat ungrateful.

Just when Su Hongchuan thought all hope was lost, Ye An put down his teacup and added a sentence.

"It's just a minor cold ailment; it can be cured easily. There's no need to make such a fuss."

What?!

Su Hongchuan was completely stunned.

Hmm...? Li Simiao was so angry that his mustache stood on end. He snorted, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage:

"Does Mr. Ye mean that all my lifelong medical studies have been in vain? That I can't even cure this 'simple cold ailment'?!"

"Dr. Li, please don't get angry..." Su Hongchuan was about to smooth things over.

Ye An nodded seriously: "That's pretty much the idea. You're older and have certainly seen more of the world than I have, but in terms of medical skills, you may not be better than me."

"you!"

"Good! What an arrogant brat!" Even though Li Simiao was quite good at maintaining his composure, he was so angry that he laughed instead.

He practiced medicine throughout his life, saving countless lives and was hailed as a "Hua Tuo in the world." He had never been treated with such contempt!

Especially since the other party is just a young child who hasn't even grown up yet!

"Old Su, don't stop him!" Li Simiao waved his hand, glaring at Ye An. "Today, I want to see just what extraordinary abilities you have to dare say such things!"

"If you can't cure Miss Su, you'll have to kowtow and apologize to me, Li Simiao, and to all doctors in the world today!"

Su Wanqing also grew anxious and gently tugged at Ye An's sleeve: "Ye An, don't argue with him. Doctor Li is only doing this for my own good..."

"I'll treat him; what's so difficult about that?"

Ye An stood up, not even glancing at the furious Li Simiao, and directly grabbed Su Wanqing's wrist, heading towards the empty room next door.

"What...what are you doing?" Su Wanqing was startled by his sudden action and blushed.

Is the treatment you're talking about... legitimate?

The door slammed shut.

Ye An released his hand and pointed to the soft couch in the room: "Take off your clothes, lie down, and I'll give you acupuncture."

"Huh?!" Su Wanqing was completely dumbfounded. "Here...here?"

Ye An found it somewhat amusing to watch her dawdling and awkwardly taking so long to unbutton only one coat.

"We've already been completely honest with each other, what's there to be embarrassed about? Hurry up, I'm in a rush."

Su Wanqing was filled with shame and indignation at his words. She stomped her foot, but still hesitated and refused to move.

Helpless, Ye An had no choice but to step forward and help her remove her armor.

When he was in the mountains, he often skinned wild animals, but to undress a woman—especially a stunning beauty like Su Wanqing—was truly unprecedented.

As her clothes slipped off one by one, her flawless body was once again revealed before his eyes.

Ye An's gaze fell on her, and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

The scene before him was breathtakingly beautiful, as if it possessed some kind of magic, drawing his gaze.

He bit his tongue secretly, forcibly suppressing the rising heat in his heart.

At the same time, he silently circulated his true energy, both to prepare for the acupuncture and to calm the restless, disordered energy within his body.

Su Wanqing keenly noticed the absent-mindedness in his eyes.

Amidst the initial tension and shame, a secret sense of pride inexplicably arose.

It seems that I am not entirely unattractive to him.

She gave a silent snort, instinctively crossing her arms over her chest, and slightly raised her chin, urging him with a hint of coquettishness and arrogance:

"Weren't you going to get acupuncture? Where are your needles?"

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily swept downwards.

Ye An ignored her little actions.

He extended his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together.

The next second, a ray of golden light gathered at his fingertips and magically condensed into a three-inch-long, almost tangible golden needle!

"go!"

He flicked his finger, and the golden needle transformed into a streak of light, precisely piercing an acupoint on Su Wanqing's lower abdomen.

Su Wanqing felt a chill in her lower abdomen, but before she could cry out, Ye An's movements did not stop at all.

"Golden needle to cut the pulse!"

The second one, the third one...

One after another, golden needles formed from true essence sprang from his fingertips and steadily pierced into various key acupoints on Su Wan's slender and jade-like body.

Soon, Su Wanqing felt streams of icy, bone-chilling air surging outwards from where the golden needles were located.

At first, she shivered from the cold, but gradually, as the cold air was drawn out, an unprecedented warmth rose from her limbs and enveloped her whole body.

"So...so comfortable..."

She couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her whole body relaxing and her consciousness becoming somewhat hazy.

Meanwhile, Ye An absorbed all the Xuan Yin Cold Qi that had been drawn out into his body.

As soon as this energy entered his body, the bottleneck in his body, which was originally as solid as a rock, actually loosened a little again!

nice one!

Ye An's eyes lit up. This Xuan Yin Cold Qi was a deadly poison for ordinary people, but for a cultivator like him, it was an extremely pure and special energy!

"Master was right; there truly is an opportunity down the mountain!"
