Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 47 - Background in Medicine, Saved Countless Lives

“Thank you, Big Brother Ning!” Qi Yuan jumped off the bed excitedly and wanted to lunge onto Ning Yechen to express her gratitude.

A beautiful figure darted over ahead of her and stopped in front of Ning Yechen.

“Miss Qi, your clothes…” Luo Ruying reminded softly.

Only now did Qi Yuan finally remember she was only wearing her underwear and realize her actions were inappropriate. She hurriedly covered herself.

“Big Sister Luo, I didn’t mean to…” The blushing Qi Yuan hurriedly apologized, turned around, and got dressed.

Luo Ruying turned around and glared at Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

He was innocent.

He neither did anything nor looked at anything.

After Qi Yuan finished dressing, Luo Ruying walked over to her and took her pulse.

Luo Ruying’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Qi Yuan’s meridians were no longer blocked!

How did he do it? Luo Ruying wondered.

He had unblocked the patient’s meridians by simply using acupuncture. This was unheard of.

Initially, she had thought Ning Yechen was just an ordinary hunter. But earlier, he had shown his wealth, and now, he had treated someone's blocked meridians using acupuncture.

She was caught by surprise.

“Thank you, Big Sister Luo, Big Brother Ning!” Qi Yuan thanked Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen again.

Luo Ruying had saved her life, and Ning Yechen had given her the chance to cultivate.

She was full of boundless gratitude to them.

“You're welcome. Although your meridians are fine now, you need to recuperate for a few days before you can fully recover. Here is the medicine you need. Just follow this prescription and brew the medicine for consumption. In a few days, you will be completely fine.” Ning Yechen smiled as he took out some heavenly herbs and a prescription and gave them to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan lowered her head to look at the prescription and heavenly herbs in the bundle. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

He had just given her extremely rare and priceless herbs!

She had never seen such a prescription before either, but she trusted him instinctively!

This did seem like a prescription to nourish her meridians!

The value of this prescription alone far exceeded that of this residence!

Yet he casually gave it to her!

“Big Brother Ning, how can I accept all of this?” Qi Yuan stuttered in shock.

All these things were priceless!

Ning Yechen smiled with a nod. “You need this prescription and medicine. Since I’ve given them to you, they are yours.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Ning!” Qi Yuan thanked him again with tears glistening in her eyes.

With this prescription and medicine, not only would she be able to cultivate, there would be new hope for her family and its chamber of commerce.

“Big Brother Ning, c-can I ask something? Why are you so kind to me?” Qi Yuan asked quizzically.

They had randomly met outside the city. Even though it was their first encounter, he had gone above and beyond to help her.

“Because you were kind to my daughter and made her happy. That's all.” Ning Yechen smiled lightly.

Since Qi Yuan had made his daughter happy, rewarding her with this was not worth mentioning to him.

Qi Yuan did not see this coming at all.

Qi Yuan liked Luo Hongye and had bought her some snacks to make her happy. But Ning Yechen had repaid her by treating her condition and gifting her with a priceless prescription and medicines.

Such generosity had gone far beyond hers.

Sure enough, both the husband and wife were remarkable.

Initially, she thought Ning Yechen was a mortal since he had zero spiritual energy fluctuations from his body.

It turned out that he was a miracle doctor!

Moreover, he was a miracle doctor from a rich and powerful family and extremely generous!

“Big Sister Luo and Big Brother Ning, goodbye.”

After accepting the prescription and medicine, Qi Yuan bade farewell and left the residence happily.

She could not wait to get home and study the prescription.

The moment Qi Yuan was gone, Luo Ruying narrowed her eyes and looked at Ning Yechen. “Why didn’t I know you knew medicine?”

Luo Ruying’s tone and expression made Ning Yechen feel as though his wife was questioning him for having a secret stash of money and not handing it over.

An inexplicable sense of pressure rose in Ning Yechen’s heart.

He did not even sense such pressure facing ten Heavenly Emperors!

“Dear, you didn’t ask, so I didn’t say anyway.” Ning Yechen walked to Luo Ruying’s, smiling ingratiatingly.

Luo Ruying continued looking at Ning Yechen with a scrutinizing gaze. “Why did you live in seclusion in the mountains then?”

“Erm…” Ning Yechen’s mind was moving swiftly. In a split second, he came up with a reasonable explanation!

“To be honest, I grew up in a wealthy family. It was a big family with a background in medicine, who saved countless lives! However, we met with troubles and went downhill. I lost all hope and decided to live in seclusion.”

Ning Yechen spoke so earnestly that tears nearly trickled from his eyes.

The moment Luo Ruying heard the reason, the suspicion in her heart disappeared, and her eyes softened.

She did not expect him to have experienced such hard times.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn’t have asked,” Luo Ruying said apologetically.

“It’s okay. I don’t mind. It’s fine as long as you're not angry.” Ning Yechen hugged Luo Ruying around the waist and looked at her dotingly.

Luo Ruying’s face flushed red, and she turned her head shyly. “I'm not upset.”

“Really? When I was treating her, who leaned against the window angrily?” Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying tightly and smiled teasingly.

“W-who said I was angry? I was just worried,” Luo Ruying explained with a blush on her face after being caught peeking.

Ning Yechen pressed against her closely. If not for Luo Hongye in her arms, the two of them would have made close physical contact.

Ning Yechen came close to Luo Ruying’s ear, breathed out a hot breath, and said softly, “Dear, I'm not only good at medicine, but I'm also highly skilled at massage. You’re exhausted from traveling. Why don’t I give you a massage?”
