Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 724 - 727: The Counterproductive Growth of True Qi

「Five minutes later.」

Liu Miaomiao was the first to exclaim, "Impossible, how can this be? This is absolutely impossible! The poison inside his body has vanished without a trace, and even his True Qi has become smooth. Impossible! How could such forcibly-grown True Qi become so docile? Aside from destroying his cultivation, there is no other option!"

Having said that, Liu Miaomiao suddenly turned her head and saw Liu Ergou. When Liu Ergou saw her current state, he couldn't help but jump in shock.

At this moment, Liu Miaomiao's eyes were bloodshot and wide open, her face twisted into a frantic expression. She looked as if she had just escaped from a mental asylum. It wasn't just Liu Ergou who was scared; anyone would be.

"Hey, what's with that look?" Liu Ergou said with a look of disgust, waving his hand at her to signal that she should keep her distance.

However, Liu Miaomiao completely ignored his gesture. She rushed forward and grabbed his hands. With a crazed expression, she demanded, "Tell me! Tell me right now, how on Earth did you cure him!"

"That kind of forcibly-grown True Qi is impossible to tame! The only outcomes are to have one's cultivation dispelled or to explode and die! But how did you manage to tame it?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou frowned. He had gleaned an important clue from Liu Miaomiao's words: the True Qi in Fu Ya's body wasn't self-cultivated but was induced through drugs or other methods. This theory perfectly explained why Fu Ya had been an ordinary person when he left me, yet had become an Ancient Martial Artist by the time they met again.

However, before Liu Ergou could think further, Liu Miaomiao pressed again, "Tell me! Tell me how you did it! Tell me!"

Looking at the frantic woman before him, Liu Ergou shook off her hands in disgust and took several quick steps back, not stopping until his back was to the window.

"Why should I tell you?" Liu Ergou said coldly. "Besides, don't forget our bet. If I win, you have to kowtow, admit your mistake, and then get the hell out of my sight! Never mind getting out, you haven't even kowtowed and admitted you were wrong!"

However, as soon as Liu Ergou spoke, Liu Miaomiao knelt before him with a THUD, showing no hesitation whatsoever. She then kowtowed loudly three times.

Immediately after, she declared, "I, Liu Miaomiao, was blind today to have offended a Great Divine Doctor like you! Please forgive me, Great Divine Doctor, and tell me how you calmed the True Qi in his body!"

After speaking, Liu Miaomiao kowtowed another three times.

That was six loud kowtows in total, which left Liu Ergou completely stunned. He never dreamed that a frosty beauty like Liu Miaomiao could have such a manic side, nor that she would kowtow without the slightest hesitation. For a moment, Liu Ergou didn't know what to say and could only stand there, dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Liu Lu, who had witnessed this, merely frowned without saying a word. Then, with a subtle shift of her feet, she began to sneak toward the bedroom door, clearly preparing to flee.

But how could Liu Ergou possibly let her go?

Without even looking up, he said, "Liu Lu, who would have thought. You're quite the sore loser, not even as good as your senior sister! Your senior sister admits when she's wrong, but you're trying to run away! How shameful!"

Hearing Liu Ergou, Liu Lu immediately retorted without hesitation, "How could I be the same as my senior sister? I am a high disciple of the Divine Healer Pavilion! My senior sister has already left the Pavilion. To put it bluntly, she's just a Loose Cultivator. How can a Loose Cultivator compare to me? It's absolutely impossible for me to kowtow and admit I'm wrong! If you dare force me, my master will not let you off!"

With that, Liu Lu turned to leave.

Originally, Liu Ergou's demand for them to kowtow was just a casual remark. He planned to give them an easy way out and let the matter drop. But after hearing Liu Lu's defiant words, he no longer felt like letting her off so easily.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou picked up a silver needle and, with a flick of his wrist, sent it flying. The next second, the needle struck Liu Lu.

Liu Lu, who had been running, suddenly stopped. She turned around, dropped to her knees before Liu Ergou, and kowtowed forcefully three times.

After completing the three kowtows, Liu Lu came to her senses. Kneeling on the floor, she glared at Liu Ergou furiously.

"You despicable scoundrel! What sorcery did you use to make me kneel and kowtow to you?! Let me tell you, this isn't over just because I kowtowed today! Just you wait! I'll have my master come and deal with you! Let's see what you do then!"

Liu Ergou was about to say something, but Liu Lu gave him no chance. She scrambled to her feet and fled as if her life depended on it, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Liu Ergou was left dumbfounded. That woman is certainly decisive, running off just like that.

Before he could process it, Liu Miaomiao, still kneeling, spoke up, "Great Divine Doctor, Great Divine Doctor, you see, both my sister and I have kowtowed and admitted our mistake. Can you please tell me how you pacified that kind of True Qi?"

Looking at the still-frantic Liu Miaomiao, Liu Ergou felt a bit helpless. After a moment's thought, he finally said, "Hey now, let's stand up and talk. Don't kneel there. It feels really strange seeing you like this. Stand up first! Then, tell me more about this forcibly-grown True Qi. I have no idea what that's all about."

Upon hearing Liu Ergou, Liu Miaomiao immediately stood up and began to explain what forcibly-grown True Qi was.

According to her, some people progress exceptionally fast in the early stages, but for some unknown reason, they get stuck at the Huajin stage. No matter what they try, they are completely unable to break through to the Houtian Realm.

So, someone came up with a solution: have an Innate Grandmaster use their Innate True Qi to forcibly stimulate the growth of another's True Qi.

Experiments later proved that this method did indeed work. However, its drawbacks soon became apparent. The True Qi that was forcibly grown became increasingly wild and rebellious, making it impossible to use normally.
