Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Take off the rest, too!

"It’s done? Just like that?" Everyone watched in disbelief.

The middle-aged man could move again. He took a deep breath, his face filled with sheer ecstasy. "The vague pain in my chest is gone? And my breathing is smoother!"

"The cyst in your body has been removed," Chen Xiao said, slowly lifting the Silver Needles. A single drop of pus and blood trickled from the tip. "Just be mindful of your diet for a while, and you’ll gradually recover."

Li Zhengming’s eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh. "So that’s how it is! That’s how it is! Master, you are an absolute genius! Brilliant, simply brilliant!"

The crowd was still confused. "Divine Doctor Li, what just happened?" one of them asked. While Li Zhengming understood perfectly, they were completely lost.

Zhang Huaide also asked, "Master, is the patient really cured?"

"Nonsense! Do you dare question the Grandmaster?" Li Zhengming slapped him on the head again.

"Old Li, please explain this to us... how was this achieved? The cyst was so close to the heart, and the heart is always beating! How could you possibly puncture it so precisely?" The others were intensely curious, feeling utterly bewildered.

Li Zhengming cleared his throat and began to explain. "It started with that basin of cold water. Splashing cold water slows the blood flow and causes the heart to contract. When the heart contracts, it creates a small distance between itself and the cyst. Then, he used acupuncture to seal the acupoints. Once sealed, the heart temporarily stops beating. Afterward, he used the Silver Needles to puncture the cyst and draw out the pus and blood inside."

As Li Zhengming finished his explanation, the crowd was dumbfounded. Could it really be done like that? If it were us, we wouldn’t even dare to imagine it! Any mistake at any step would have had extremely serious consequences. This time, the gazes directed at Chen Xiao no longer held scorn, but profound respect.

Even Zhang Huaide was completely in awe. He was utterly convinced; Chen Xiao’s technique was simply mind-blowing.

Chen Xiao calmly addressed the crowd, "Medical texts are rigid, but people are flexible. When you practice medicine, you must make full use of the circumstances and not just blindly follow the books."

Everyone nodded in sudden realization, their minds deep in thought. The medical skill Chen Xiao had demonstrated today was a great inspiration. Although the process seemed simple, it felt as though a door to a new world had been opened for them. They had benefited immensely.

Zhang Huaide was now thoroughly convinced. If he hadn’t seen Chen Xiao’s methods with his own eyes, he never would have conceived of such a thing in his entire life. Even if he had, accomplishing it would have been nearly impossible. Every seemingly simple step required incredible technical skill to execute. Even knowing the method, it would still be almost impossible for any of them to replicate it, as they simply lacked such exquisite technique.

Chen Xiao let out a breath. "Alright, my task for today is complete. Old Mr. Zhou, are the medicinal herbs I requested ready?"

"They’re ready," Zhou Yuan said hurriedly. He had someone bring up all the medicinal herbs Chen Xiao needed and handed him a card. "Mr. Chen, with this card, any herbs you need from our pharmacy are free of charge."

Chen Xiao accepted the card with a smile, his tone slightly teasing. "The herbs I require are very expensive."

Zhou Yuan laughed heartily. "I have some savings set aside. Mr. Chen, you don’t need to worry."

"Then I’m relieved," Chen Xiao nodded slightly. With that, he took out a pen and paper and scribbled down the names of several more medicinal herbs. "Can you check if the pharmacy has these?" These were all the supplementary herbs he needed.

Seeing the names on the list, Zhou Yuan’s eyelids twitched violently. "These... these are all exceedingly rare ingredients! Mr. Chen, you need all of them?!" To be frank, that prescription alone was enough to bankrupt him on the spot.

"You only need to use your connections and channels to help me gather them," Chen Xiao said calmly. "I’ll pay for them myself." He knew these herbs were incredibly valuable and had no intention of getting them for free.

Zhou Yuan breathed a quiet sigh of relief but said aloud, "Mr. Chen, how could I possibly..."

"Or would you like to pay for them on my behalf?" Chen Xiao chuckled.

Zhou Yuan gave an awkward chuckle and took the list. "I’ll notify you as soon as I have any news, Mr. Chen!"

"Alright."

Chen Xiao took the herbs and walked out. Behind him, Li Zhengming and the others followed, respectfully seeing him off.

When Chen Xiao returned to the villa, Xu Yanran and Li Biyun were sitting in the living room. Upon seeing him, Xu Yanran snorted and shot him a disdainful look before turning her head away. Li Biyun, on the other hand, smiled and quickly poured Chen Xiao a cup of tea, looking like a gentle wife waiting for her husband to return from work.

"I’ve bought the herbs," Chen Xiao said, placing the package on the table. "Next, we can prepare the Medicine Bath. There’s enough here for several days. After you finish these Medicine Baths, your health will be restored."

Hearing this, Li Biyun’s large, innocent eyes filled with joyous surprise. She used sign language to ask, "Really?"

"Really," Chen Xiao replied earnestly. Overjoyed, Li Biyun hugged him tightly.

Despite being happy for Li Biyun, Xu Yanran questioned with a sneer, "A Medicine Bath? Don’t tell me you plan on watching? I saw through your filthy tricks a long time ago! Disgusting!"

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at her. "I won’t just be watching. She needs to be completely naked, and I’ll have to assist her directly with my hands. What, you want to join us for a ’couple’s bath’?"

"Who would want to take a couple’s bath with you? Gross!" Xu Yanran’s skin crawled. She turned to Li Biyun and warned, "Biyun, be careful. Don’t let certain people take advantage of you!" With that, she stormed off indignantly.

Li Biyun’s face flushed faintly red as she thought about what Chen Xiao had said. She timidly used sign language to ask if he was telling the truth.

"It’s true," Chen Xiao nodded. "You’ll have to be completely undressed, and there will be physical contact. Go on up and prepare the bath with the herbs. I need to get a few more things ready."

Li Biyun’s cheeks flushed crimson. Biting her red lip, she nodded and obediently went to do as he asked. She believed that Chen Xiao was not the type of person to intentionally take advantage of her.

「One hour later.」

Inside the villa’s bathroom, steam wafted through the air, carrying the distinct aroma of medicinal herbs. The water in the steaming tub had been turned a dark brown by the many rare herbs soaking within.

Li Biyun looked at Chen Xiao, a crimson blush blooming on her cheeks.

"You can undress now," Chen Xiao said with a helpless sigh. After he voluntarily closed his eyes, Li Biyun slowly began to unfasten her clothes.

Moments later, Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the hazy beauty before him, he let out a wry smile.

"The rest needs to come off, too."
