Chapter 249: Solving the Illness

Solving the Illness . . .

In the midst of an unusual circumstance, Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't help but grow increasingly impatient. "You've sought my assistance for your ailment," he remarked, his voice tinged with frustration, "yet you appear reluctant to disrobe. It's causing unnecessary delay, don't you think? After all, you'll eventually need to undress for the treatment. It's rather ironic how boldly you spoke earlier, but now, when faced with the reality of the situation, you seem to be having second thoughts. Isn't it rather comical to waste time like this?"

Bing Xin-Yue found herself engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions—bashfulness, anger, and speechlessness. She turned her gaze toward Cha-Eun Xiao, meeting his eyes filled with confusion and impatience. In that moment, a realization washed over her. "So," she thought with a mix of relief and amusement, "this individual seems to know even less about these matters than I do..."

A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she contemplated this newfound understanding.

Regaining her composure, she eventually conceded, her tone carrying a note of grace, "Very well, for the sake of expediency, you may turn around."

With a sigh of relief, Cha-Eun Xiao complied, his form pivoting away from her. The room was filled with the soft rustling of fabric as Bing Xin-Yue began to disrobe. Suddenly, a captivating fragrance permeated the air—a scent distinct from the ordinary. It possessed a natural quality that induced feelings of relaxation and happiness.

As the sounds gradually subsided, Bing Xin-Yue's voice trembled as she spoke, "...It's done."

Turning back around, Cha-Eun Xiao was met with a sight that momentarily left him breathless. Before him stood a stunning young woman, her graceful neck gently arched, her delicate hands resting on her abdomen—nervousness radiating from her every pore. Her upper attire remained in place, revealing only the area just beneath her chest—a canvas of pristine, alluring skin. Her skirt, however, remained intact.

It was evident that she had taken great care to expose only what was necessary while preserving her modesty. Paradoxically, this effort accentuated the contours of her perfect physique, rendering her even more irresistibly captivating. Her waist was so slender that it could likely be encircled by a single hand.

Under Cha-Eun Xiao's attentive gaze, Bing Xin-Yue's cheeks deepened in hue, and the exposed skin took on a delicate pinkish tint. She spoke in a hushed, trembling voice, "Is this...acceptable?"

Clearing his throat, Cha-Eun Xiao struggled to quell the heat that was slowly rising within him. His nose tingled with an itch as he replied, "It's...acceptable, I suppose. Now, regarding your back—I'll need to place my hand there to access the right spot. I'll let you know when I'm about to do so."

The room was cloaked in a palpable silence, save for the faint rustling of fabric that had come to an abrupt halt. Cha-Eun Xiao turned around, his eyes locking onto the scene before him.

There stood a breathtaking young woman, her graceful neck accentuated by the gentle arch of her delicate hands resting on her abdomen—her nervousness evident in the quiver of her voice. Her upper attire remained immaculate, revealing only the area just below her chest—a canvas of pristine, alluring skin. Her skirt, however, still clung to her figure.

It was clear that she had made a concerted effort to expose only the portions of her body necessary for the treatment while preserving her modesty. Strangely, this had the effect of accentuating the contours of her flawless physique, rendering her even more irresistibly captivating. Her waist was so slender that it could likely be encircled by a single hand.

As Cha-Eun Xiao's eyes lingered on her, Bing Xin-Yue's cheeks deepened in hue, and the exposed skin took on a delicate pinkish tint. She spoke in a hushed, trembling voice, "Is this...acceptable?"

Clearing his throat, Cha-Eun Xiao struggled to suppress the heat that surged within him. An itch teased at his nose as he replied, "It's...acceptable, I suppose. Now, concerning your back—I'll need to place my hand there to access the right spot. I'll inform you when I'm about to do so."

Bing Xin-Yue, her bashfulness still palpable, nodded in understanding. "I comprehend," she said softly.

Impatient to begin, Cha-Eun Xiao urged, "Let's proceed without delay. I have an auction to attend, and time is of the essence. We should make the most of the time we have."

Hearing his words, Bing Xin-Yue couldn't help but feel irritated. She was on the verge of delivering a resounding slap to his face. [A stunning beauty stands before you, her skin exposed, and you're preoccupied with your tiresome auction. 'Let's proceed without delay.' What on earth are you thinking...?]

Suppressing her annoyance, she gave in and seated herself. She sensed Cha-Eun Xiao's movements, and then, quite suddenly, a large, warm hand was placed on her back.

The warmth of his touch caused her entire body to turn to mush. She struggled to maintain her composure.

Simultaneously, another large, warm hand settled on her belly, precisely where her dantian resided—a sensitive area she had never experienced being touched in such a manner before. It was a sensation she hadn't anticipated, and it overwhelmed her. She found herself unable to hold her posture, emitting a soft moan as her body seemed to liquefy, slowly falling back.

Cha-Eun Xiao, who had been endeavoring to maintain his composure, was taken aback by this unexpected development. As Bing Xin-Yue fell into his arms, he was left momentarily stunned, the intensity of the moment catching him off guard.

Cha-Eun Xiao was taken aback by the situation. He sensed the warmth emanating from the beautiful girl's body, which stirred his determination. Unable to resist, his hand ascended slowly, moving about the length of his palm.

His touch encountered a soft and yielding curve that invited his grasp. He found himself captivated by its pliability and flexibility, leaving him momentarily dazed. "What is this? So comfortable... So delightful..." he wondered.

Meanwhile, Bing Xin-Yue suddenly felt something amiss as she reclined. In her attempt to rise, she inadvertently pressed her chest into Cha Eun-Xiao's hand. The unexpected contact left her feeling both startled and embarrassed. Overwhelmed by sensations, she lost control of her body once more, falling back into Cha Eun Xiao's arms.

After a few moments of clarity, she abruptly regained her composure and confronted him with a flushed face. "You..."

Clearing his throat, Cha-Eun Xiao responded, "Let's not waste any more time. We're here for treatment, not anything else. Why are you embarrassed? By the way, why did you fall into my arms so suddenly? I... I wasn't prepared for that. Let's focus on the task at hand."

Bing Xin-Yue's frustration welled up. "You took advantage of me and now you blame me? Do what again?" She couldn't help but ponder. But upon reflection, she acknowledged that she had initiated the contact. Thus, she held back her words, feeling both bashful and annoyed.

"Why are you just standing there? Let's proceed. Sit down," Cha-Eun Xiao urged with a stern expression. "Time is running out."

With a roll of her eyes and a red face, Bing Xin-Yue reluctantly complied, only to find herself once more subjected to the warm touch of Cha Eun Xiao's hands. This made her body tense up.

As his hands moved cautiously over her body, Cha-Eun Xiao voiced his confusion, "Where is the dantian? Where can it be..."

Unable to contain her frustration, Bing Xin-Yue seized his hand and guided it to the location of her dantian. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're already a Tianyuan cultivator, and you don't even know where the dantian is? Here!"

"Oh, there it is," Cha-Eun Xiao acknowledged. "Lesson learned."

Bing Xin-Yue felt a surge of heat throughout her body. She thought, "What an audacious man. If I hadn't acted quickly, who knows where his hand might have wandered." She wanted to voice her displeasure further but was interrupted by a flow of warm, pure spiritual energy directed at her dantian. Simultaneously, a stream of cold energy enveloped her back.

Sensations coursed through her, as if her front was melting while her back was on the brink of freezing, creating an indescribable experience. She took a deep breath and pondered, "Is this what they mean by 'through ice and fire'?"

In the next instant, an immense power, seemingly originating from the ancient cosmos, surged into her body through Cha-Eun Xiao's hands.
