Urban Invincible Medical Divine

Chapter 34 Wrinkled His Nose

"Now, I feel like although Brother Liu Wentian may seem a bit cold, it's only towards the bad people. At least to me, Brother Liu Wentian is a very interesting person. Plus, he's skilled in medical healing and martial arts. I really kind of admire him," Zi Qing said, cutely wrinkling her nose afterward.

Seeing her playful and adorable expression, Liu Wentian couldn't help but laugh, "Don't blindly admire someone. I don't like brainless fans."

Then he continued, "I just said I could treat your Purple Blood Disease, and you seemed a bit skeptical, huh?"

Upon hearing this, a shade of sadness crossed Zi Qing's face, "I know you're a good person, Brother Liu Wentian. But the doctors have said, it's a terminal illness, simply impossible to cure..."

She hadn't finished speaking before Liu Wentian cut her off.

"Just because they can't cure it, doesn't mean I can't. If you believe in me, then I will treat you. Do you believe me?" Liu Wentian looked into Zi Qing's eyes earnestly as he spoke.

Zi Qing gazed blankly at Liu Wentian's sincere eyes. His eyes were clear and devoid of any impure thoughts. Finally, she nodded, "I believe in you, Brother Liu Wentian."

Thinking it over, Liu Wentian wouldn't benefit from deceiving her, and since she felt quite positive about him, she chose to believe. On his face, she saw genuine concern for her.

Liu Wentian saw there was still a trace of hesitation in her eyes, but he didn't mind. Getting an ordinary person to believe that he could cure her terminal disease was difficult in itself.

Moreover, they had only met for the second time today. The fact that she was willing to trust him was satisfying enough for him.

"Don't worry too much, treating this disease will take some time, but it's not difficult. Initially, we'll need to use acupuncture for treatment for about seven days; afterward, we'll use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your condition for over a month. Then, the disease can be completely cured," Liu Wentian said, smiling.

"Ah, over a month to cure it? And you call that a long time?" Zi Qing felt somewhat incredulous. If she didn't firmly believe that Liu Wentian wouldn't deceive her, she would've accused him of spouting nonsense.

Liu Wentian nodded, "Yes, just over a month. Don't think it's that simple, in all the world, you might not find a second person who can cure this disease for you."

He was right. His method seemed simple, but even just the acupuncture step, there might not be another person with that ability in this world.

The acupuncture technique used to treat Zi Qing, which was the same one used on Bai Ruguo's face, was called "Eight Trigrams Shifting Spirit Needles"!!

In Chinese medicine, the different organs of the human body are categorized by the "Five Elements" of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, while "Tai Yi" refers to what the Taoist call "The Way." The "Eight Trigrams Shifting Spirit Needles" works by utilizing the body's own "The Way" to quickly repair and restore loss and disease in the body, almost reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bone.

Whether there is a second person in this world who knows this set of "Eight Trigrams Shifting Spirit Needles" is still unknown.

Zi Qing nodded as if she understood, choosing not to ask further questions. Since she had decided to trust Liu Wentian, she felt it best not to inquire too much.

Suddenly, Liu Wentian thought of something and his expression soured, "By the way, where do you live? Did those three guys just now know your address? Although I drove them off, I'm a bit concerned that they might come after you for revenge later. I can't be by your side all the time, and if I'm not there, it could be troublesome."

Zi Qing's pretty face turned pale, "Mr. Yuan knows where I live. He even went to my place to pressure me about paying back the money. Then... what should we do?"

She was clearly scared since if she were indeed targeted for retaliation, the consequences were not hard to imagine.

Liu Wentian frowned slightly. He hadn't thought of this before, otherwise, he would have taken a harder stance just now, like he did with Manager Cui Yunpeng and his group before, thoroughly scaring them so they wouldn't dare to seek revenge in the future.

Liu Wentian asked, "Do you live alone, or with friends?"

Zi Qing, with a touch of sorrow in her voice, replied, "I'm living by myself. I... I don't really have any friends."

Seeing her innocent and delicate, yet somewhat bleak little face, Liu Wentian's heart ached for a moment.

Although it was only the second time he met the other person, Liu Wentian could easily tell that Zi Qing was an introvert who tended to be shy, and even somewhat self-deprecating. With such a solitary character, plus being busy working hard to earn money every day, it was normal for her to not have friends.

After some thought, Liu Wentian hesitated and said, "Why don't you come home with me?"

"Huh?"

Zi Qing looked like a small purple rabbit that had been startled, her eyes suddenly widening in a daze as she stared at Liu Wentian, her face that was somewhat pale now flush with red.

"Uh... Don't misunderstand— I'm just afraid those guys from before will come back for revenge. Besides, if you stay with me, it will be much more convenient for me to treat you," Liu Wentian quickly explained.

"But... but..."

With her face all red, Zi Qing seemed hesitant. Although she had a very good impression of Liu Wentian, the idea of just following a man home after meeting him only twice was obviously difficult for her to decide on.

"You don't have to force yourself. If you're afraid that I'm a pervert, afraid that I'll take advantage of you, then forget it," Liu Wentian said.

Zi Qing, fearing that Liu Wentian was angry, quickly waved her hands and said, "No, that's not it. I'm not afraid that Brother Tian is a pervert, I... I trust Brother Tian, so I'll go and pack my things and then... then go home with Brother Tian."

Liu Wentian couldn't help but laugh at her panicked look. This girl was truly kind and innocent to the point of being pitiable.

He laughed and said, "I'm not angry, and you don't have to be so flustered. Me suddenly asking you to come home with me was a bit presumptuous. But as for you, agreeing so simply to go home with a man is quite dangerous. It's a good thing you ran into me, because if it were someone else, you might have been sold off and still stupidly counting money for them."

Zi Qing, seeing that Liu Wentian wasn't really angry, let out a sigh of relief. Listening to him tease her again, she felt a bit embarrassed but still retorted, "I'm not stupid. I can tell at a glance that most men have ulterior motives when they approach me. I know all too well what nasty thoughts they have in their heads. But Brother Tian, you're different. From the first time we met until now, there's never been anything dirty in your eyes, and you've been continually helping me."

A flash of surprise crossed Liu Wentian's face, but he quickly understood.

Zi Qing, despite her young age, had faced the harsh realities of society. Though naive, she had seen all sorts of people and wasn't completely without judgment.

However, saying Zi Qing was mature would also be untrue. If she encountered a man good at disguising his intentions, she'd probably still be easily deceived.

Zi Qing led the way, and soon they arrived at her place. Once Zi Qing had packed up her things, Liu Wentian called a cab and took her back to his own home.

Lian Tang Village Apartment Complex.

Liu Wentian carried Zi Qing's few belongings as she followed closely behind him, like a little dog afraid of being left behind by its owner.

Whenever they encountered residents of the complex along the way, Zi Qing would politely offer a shy smile, worried about giving them a bad impression. She was a girl who lived very cautiously.

Yet, because of her innocent beauty and shy smile, a group of bachelors in the complex envied, and even hated, Liu Wentian, wishing they could knock him off and take his place.

"Damn, what kind of luck is Liu Wentian having with women? Wasn't he just with a blonde bombshell the other day? And now he's switched to this pure and cute girl?"

"Right? I feel like I'm way handsomer than him, yet he not only scored a beauty, but he's also juggling two at once? I seriously want to strangle him!"

"This little girl looks so pure, and that timid appearance is just like the child bride from ancient novels. You stand and she kneels, you kneel and she presents, you lie down and she knows to climb on top. Damn, if only I had a girlfriend like that, I'd be willing to die twenty years early."
