Chapter 276 - Healing

Observing the curious gaze of Miao Hui, Ye Haochuan knew he had successfully gained her preliminary trust.

Although what he was about to do to the Liu Jiajia on the bed was somewhat cruel, considering Miao Hui’s overbearing attitude earlier, he felt irritated.

For such an overdone old woman, wasn’t it necessary to teach her a lesson?

Besides, I, the young master, was only taking advantage of your daughter and didn’t lay a hand on you, which was already showing extraordinary grace.

Ye Haochuan locked the door from inside, then turned around feigning righteousness and said, “Mrs.

Liu, the reason I asked everyone else to leave is actually to prevent damaging your daughter’s reputation.”

“Reputation?” Miao Hui suddenly understood something, “You mean…”

“That’s right, Mrs.

Liu, your daughter Liu Jiajia is not suffering from any illness but has been cursed with Sorcery, which has imprisoned her soul.”

“Her soul has been imprisoned?

Who would do such a despicable thing?” Miao Hui was shocked, finding his statement somewhat unbelievable.

“As for who did it, I do not know, but I can assure you, it’s definitely one of your enemies, and it’s a deep-seated grudge at that.”

After a pause, Ye Haochuan continued, “I must apply the Acupuncture Secret Technique with needles all over your daughter Liu Jiajia’s body, combined with the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Zhuyou Technique, to cure her.

However, I need to remove her clothes to apply the needles.

If you cannot accept this, then I have no choice but to give up.”

“This…”

Hearing that her daughter was to be undressed for him to administer needle treatment, Miao Hui felt a buzzing in her head, almost exploding.

However, this woman was not slow either, she immediately hummed suspiciously, “Doctor Ye, don’t think just because I am a woman, I am easily deceived, okay?

You want my daughter to be completely undressed for your needle treatment, is there really such a bizarre method of treatment in this world?”

Hey, this woman does have high vigilance.

Alright then, if you don’t believe it, this young master will prove it to you.

Thinking this, Ye Haochuan grinned and said, “Mrs.

Liu, watch closely.”

With that, Ye Haochuan took out a huge brush and a pot of red paint from the storage ring, then dipped the brush fully in paint, before wielding it grandly and swiftly sketching on the floor.

As his brush moved continuously across the floor, symbols akin to the mystical Yi Jing and Eight Trigrams gradually took shape.

“What are you doing?

Why are you decorating the room like this?

Are you a doctor or a charlatan?” Miao Hui frowned and said.

“Shut up!” Ye Haochuan shouted sharply.

“You…” Miao Hui was so angry her nose was almost crooked, never before had anyone spoken to her this way.

However, seeing his serious demeanor, she suppressed her anger, although feeling quite annoyed inside, thinking, ‘You brat, daring to speak to me like this, if you can’t save my daughter later, just wait and see how I deal with you.’

At that moment, Ye Haochuan suddenly gestured with one hand, and a Copper Coin appeared, he pinched a talisman and began chanting, “As Urgent as the Imperial Edict.” After a while, he suddenly pressed the Copper Coin between Liu Jiajia’s eyebrows.

Suddenly, a visible ray of light emanated from the Copper Coin, then penetrated directly into Liu Jiajia’s head.

“Ah!” Miao Hui watched incredulously at what was happening in front of her.

The glow from the Copper Coin gradually weakened and finally faded into Liu Jiajia’s forehead, disappearing from sight.

Strangely enough, Liu Jiajia’s originally dull and expressionless eyes suddenly became lively and radiant.

Suddenly, she sat up from the bed, her eyes flickering with confusion.

“Mom, why are you in my room?

And who is he?”

Miao Hui’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, taking a while to regain her composure before rushing forward excitedly, “Jiajia, Jiajia, you’ve finally come to, you’ve finally come to…”

However, quickly, Liu Jiajia’s lively and radiant eyes returned to a dull, spiritless state, and she eventually fell back onto the bed.

Just as Miao Hui was joyous seeing her daughter recovered, before she had a chance to speak more with her, she collapsed again.

This made her extremely upset and displeased said, “Doctor Ye, what… what is going on?

Did you do this on purpose?”

“I didn’t hear that wrong, did I, Young Master?

If I really did it on purpose, I would have left a long time ago and not cared about your daughter!”

Seeing her skeptical attitude, Ye Haochuan felt quite annoyed and said, “Just now, it was just a temporary emergency measure I took to gain your trust.

Now, you should believe in my medical skills, right?”

“This…” Miao Hui’s heart began to waver.

Ye Haochuan continued to explain, “Mrs.

Liu, you may not know, but medicine and occult studies are inseparable.

In occult studies, a person has three souls and seven spirits.

The three souls include the soul, the perceptive soul, and the life soul.

The soul governs a person’s consciousness, the perceptive soul governs a person’s sense of right and wrong and shame, and the life soul governs a person’s lifespan.

Your daughter, Liu Jiajia, has her soul imprisoned, which is why she has become so dull…”

Miao Hui’s scalp tingled, finding what he said to be unheard of and unseen before.

After a while, she hesitantly said, “Doctor Ye, what you’re saying is too mystical, isn’t it?”

Ye Haochuan chuckled, “I know you won’t easily believe, but this is the truth.

If you don’t believe it, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Miao Hui struggled for a while before finally asking, “So Doctor Ye, does it really require my daughter to be completely unclothed to save her?”

“Exactly,” Ye Haochuan stated emphatically.

Miao Hui wrestled with the idea for quite some time before she eventually agreed.

Internally, she was extremely reluctant, but to save her daughter, how could Miao Hui dare refuse?

Yet having her daughter, who was completely unaware, exposed nude in front of a stranger was somewhat resisting to her motherly heart.

However, she didn’t consider that if she hadn’t been so troublesome, why would Ye Haochuan think of taking revenge?

Soon, Miao Hui had her daughter stripped bare.

And Ye Haochuan took the opportunity to feast his eyes.

Because Liu Jiajia had been cared for in her bedroom for many years with a nanny’s careful maintenance, her skin was very white, glossy, and tender, enough to make one feel like pinching it would squeeze out water.

He didn’t know that Miao Hui had put a lot of effort into maintaining her daughter’s body, occasionally letting the nanny give her milk baths.

Seemingly feeling Ye Haochuan’s burning gaze roving over her daughter, Miao Hui suddenly turned around, but Ye Haochuan was prepared, and instead, she saw him looking straightforwardly ahead, which soothed her expression a bit.

“Alright,” Miao Hui said.

Ye Haochuan then took out the needle bag, picked up a silver needle, and proceeded to make Liu Jiajia float in midair using True Qi, then began to apply needles on her.

This act alone was enough to astound Miao Hui again—who could make a girl weighing about forty to fifty kilograms float in the air?

Of course, when treating Liu Jiajia, Ye Haochuan inevitably took advantage to touch her.

Miao Hui, despite her dissatisfaction, dared not utter a word; truly, suffering silently was a delight for Ye Haochuan.

Before long, Liu Jiajia’s body was covered with silver needles, making Miao Hui terrified to the point of being unable to look directly.

“Supreme commands, capture the Evil Spirit.

Protector King, safeguard the chant.

Convert to the great path, Primordial Prosperity Auspicious Verity…”

After reciting the spell, Ye Haochuan abruptly shouted, “As urgent as the imperial edict, release the imprisonment!”

Suddenly, the empty look in Liu Jiajia’s eyes began to radiate vivacity again.

Watching her daughter’s changes closely, Miao Hui burst forth in surprise and cried joyfully, “Jiajia, Jiajia, it’s Mommy…”

“Mommy…”

Liu Jiajia had just uttered the word when she suddenly realized something was amiss—how was she floating in midair, and moreover, naked?

What was even more fatal—she also noticed Ye Haochuan’s presence, her mind went blank, thinking, oh my god, I can’t live anymore!
