"Good morning, darling."
Su Hongli bent down and hugged Luo Xiu tightly from behind.
Luo Xiu felt an unusual softness and a delicate fragrance enter his nose, and he suddenly found it difficult to restrain himself.
But then he furrowed his brows and said, "Auntie Su, your srizing Fla Technique is still lacking compared to Su Fox's."
Only then did he realize that Su Hongli was using the srizing Fla Technique on him.
Su Hongli brought her red lips close to Luo Xiu's ear, exhaling a faint, sweet scent. "You naughty boy, your sister has missed you terribly."
However, Luo Xiu removed her hands, stood up to face her, and shook his head helplessly.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. Seducing is pointless."
Su Hongli's expression changed slightly. She took two steps back, looking at the impossibly calm Luo Xiu, and suddenly felt a deep sense of defeat.
Why can Su Shenyun seduce him, but I can't?
"Alright... it seems this trick of mine really doesn't work on you," she conceded.
Luo Xiu watched her and asked, "Is this about Duan Feibai?"
Su Hongli nodded gently. "Can you cure him?"
Without a second thought, Luo Xiu replied, "That's impossible."
Su Hongli sighed, her face the very picture of sorrow.
"Are you really that heartless?"
Luo Xiu remained unmoved, stating coolly, "I had planned to kill him. He's only alive right now because of you."
Su Hongli t his gaze. "But Duan Chunfeng won't let this go. He's only being so respectful to you now because he needs sothing from you. The mont you cure his illness, he will surely seek revenge."
Luo Xiu smiled indifferently. "I know, but it doesn't matter. In fact, compared to healing the sick, I'm far more skilled at taking lives."
Su Hongli said solemnly, "The Dean is your Senior Sister, so your background is indeed formidable. But the person backing Duan Chunfeng is no simple character, either. Besides, the Dean has gone to the bottom of the sea; she isn't here to protect you."
Luo Xiu raised an eyebrow. "You're saying all this just because you want to cure Duan Feibai?"
Su Hongli admitted, "I watched him grow up, after all. I truly think of him as my own child."
Luo Xiu said, "If you truly see him as a son, you should have disciplined him properly. At the very least, you should have taught him how to be a decent human being."
Su Hongli asked, "You really won't save him?"
Luo Xiu's gaze grew cold. "Not killing him myself is the only help I can offer you."
Without another word, Su Hongli turned and left.
She seed furious.
Watching her fiery figure retreat, Luo Xiu asked, "So, have we had a falling out?"
Su Hongli replied coldly, "I don't want to deal with you."
Luo Xiu shrugged and smiled. "In any case, I'm not going to co and coax you."
Su Hongli stopped in her tracks. "I don't need you to coax . But I must remind you... Duan Chunfeng has already contacted his backer. You need to be careful."
"You are indeed very strong, but this is a vast world. There will always be higher mountains."
Luo Xiu smiled. "Thank you for the warning. I'll be careful."
「About two hours later.」
Luo Xiu went to Duan Chunfeng's room with the refined pill.
The mont he entered, he was hit by a nauseating stench.
Lying naked on the bed, Duan Chunfeng looked as if he had shrunk by a full size. His body was pierced with Silver Needles, and his skin was covered in a thick layer of blackened grease.
He was enduring trendous pain, yet he couldn't move or even make a sound.
He struggled to turn his neck toward Luo Xiu, a flicker of imperceptible resentnt in his eyes.
He's deliberately torturing . Over these past two hours, I've suffered the agony of thousands of ants gnawing at my body! Several tis, I wanted to give up!
Luo Xiu, of course, had no idea what was going through Duan Chunfeng's mind.
Not that he would have cared.
He walked straight to the bedside and began pulling the Silver Needles from Duan Chunfeng's body.
As the needles were removed, Duan Chunfeng couldn't help but let out a piercing shriek. He clutched his lower abdon, convulsing and writhing on the bed.
Luo Xiu watched him with an indifferent expression and placed the pill he was holding on the bedside table.
"Once the pain subsides, dissolve this pill in water and drink it. I'll be back tomorrow."
"Your condition is quite serious, so you'll need at least two treatnts. One more session tomorrow should be enough."
"Th-thank you, Mister Luo," Duan Chunfeng managed to say.
Luo Xiu turned to leave. "Don't thank . I've already received my paynt."
「In the blink of an eye.」
As night fell and the lamps were lit, Duan Chunfeng followed Luo Xiu's instructions.
Once the pain had eased, he dissolved the pill in water and drank it.
Less than a minute later, he felt an unbearable heat course through his entire body.
The great dragon that had lain dormant within him for over a decade was suddenly poised to soar to the Nine Heavens!
"Ugh… this is unbearable..."
He clenched his teeth, struggled into a seated, cross-legged position on the bed, and began to Channel Qi.
As ti passed, a joyous smile gradually spread across his face.
To his astonishnt, he found that his atrophied and blocked ridians were showing signs of revival!
His strength at the Late Stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm was also beginning to return!
This kid… he really is a Divine Doctor. Incredible! Honestly, if things hadn't turned out this way, I wouldn't have the heart to kill him. But… he must die!
Thinking of his wife and son, the murderous intent in his heart solidified.
His wife had been slept with, his son crippled.
This was an irreconcilable blood feud that had to be avenged!
He took a deep, calming breath to compose himself, then got out of bed, dressed, and hastily left the room.
「Not long after.」
BOOM!
He arrived at Su Hongli's door and, without even knocking, threw it open.
He had co to vent his frustration on her.
"Su Hongli, get over here!" he barked.
Su Hongli, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up at him. Her brow furrowed, and a hint of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.
"You're cured?"
Duan Chunfeng let out a sly laugh and strode toward her.
"Why don't you try for yourself and find out!"
"Ah!"
Su Hongli cried out in alarm, but before she could react, Duan Chunfeng seized her wrist and hauled her up from the sofa.
He brutally grabbed her hair, forcing her to face away from him as he slamd her against the back of the sofa.
"You whore, get your ass up higher!" he snarled.
