“Thank you, Young Master!”
Yun Liu glared at Xiao Xinran, looking troubled.
“There’s no problem with taking her in. There are plenty of rooms here, but whether she can be cured is another matter. The consultation fee will be deducted from your wages.”
The female protagonist was one thing, but he’d never seen such a diligent yellow-haired girl pushing her own hard-won harem into someone else’s arms!
“No problem!”
Xiao Xinran patted her chest.
But Lin Shu insisted, “How can that be? Miss Xiao has already helped me so much. If sir does not mind, I will do my utmost to repay the debt!”
Yun Liu tugged at the corner of his mouth, half-smiling, as if to say: Can you even afford it?
Lin Huakui didn’t care, not knowing what kind of person this indifferent young man was.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if skilled in medicine as an Elixir Cultivator, how expensive could a consultation be?
The price of a Third-grade Heavenly Dao Pill Master making a move was extraordinary—many nobles found it unattainable.
Anyway, it was definitely more expensive than Lin Mei’s first night for sale!
“Excuse me.”
Yun Liu only glanced once and immediately saw the root of the problem.
Two fingers pressed to the woman’s abdomen, gentle spiritual energy flowing into her meridians.
Lin Shu frowned and closed her eyes but said nothing.
The area Madam Jing Rui had poisoned was a bit sensitive, but martial artists didn’t fuss over such things.
“The problem isn’t serious. There’s no need to trouble yourself with refining a Reversion Pill, but the actual procedure is a bit complicated.”
Yun Liu looked helplessly at Qin Yao, seeking permission from the secretary.
Qin Yao instantly understood, rolled her eyes, then nodded in silent approval and shooed the two foolish girls outside.
“Alright, alright, nothing to see here. Let’s go out and give the patient some privacy.”
“Another sudden inspection? I want to try too!”
“Saving lives comes first!”
Ji Shiyu protested sharply, but Xiao Xinran dragged her out by the neck.
This brat, as soon as the door closes, is sure to strip someone and cause trouble!
***
When only the two of them remained in the room, Yun Liu sat on the bed and spoke frankly.
“Miss Lin, I have a method that can quickly remove the Soulbinding Seal, but the necessary contact might be extremely uncomfortable for you. Whether to proceed is up to you.”
“What? Soulbinding Seal!”
Lin Shu touched her abdomen, her face pale.
At first, she thought the young man was just being mysterious by sending the others away, but at the mention of the Demon Sect’s evil art, her heart turned cold.
The Hehuan Banner’s demonic arts were infamous. Righteous cultivators who fell into their hands met only one fate—drained of their cultivation.
The Soulbinding Seal was used by fiends to control Dinglu.
Those afflicted became livestock, their minds and bodies corroded.
“It’s a matter of chastity and reputation. It’s normal for you to refuse. It’s not a matter of my ability.”
Yun Liu gestured to the door behind him, but Lin Shu gritted her teeth, loosened her outer robe, and revealed silver armor that looked like a toy.
“My life was saved by Miss Xiao, so I trust you as she does. They say a healer’s heart is benevolent. I have no doubt in your character, sir. Please proceed.”
“Ah?”
Yun Liu broke out in a cold sweat.
The burning-hot potato was thrown right back at him.
He could feel Sister Qin’s Divine Sense observing in secret—blocking it or not, either way was awkward.
As expected of a Martial General, she had no hesitation, agreeing too quickly!
“Th-then lie down.”
Lin Shu took a deep breath, slowly removed her armored cloak, bit her lip, and lay naked on Qin Yao’s bed.
Yun Liu turned his back. Even without his eyes, his Divine Sense could see everything clearly.
Lin Shu had long trained her body through martial arts, her figure outstanding, with long legs and a slender waist, but her soul was a weakness.
Normally, the Soulbinding Seal, like the Enchanting Heart Seduction, was difficult for outsiders to break unless the victim’s soul surpassed the caster’s.
However, Madam Jing Rui was already a servant charmed by Yun Liu.
Seizing this Dinglu from her was effortless—just transferring the demonic seal to a new master.
With the Soulbinding Seal under Yun Liu’s control, as long as he didn’t activate it, it was as if it never existed.
***
Outside, the three girls tiptoed to peek, but the bed curtain blocked Lin Shu from view.
Yun Liu sat by the window, eyes closed and expressionless, with only one hand reaching in to heal.
The trio could only see Lin Mei trembling violently, occasionally making sounds of extreme (pain) and (suffering) (beyond) (endurance), clearly enduring great agony.
For Yun Liu, this peculiar clinic session was equally taxing—the hardest part was managing his facial expression.
He traversed a twisted forest, barely finding his way before the tainted ground beneath his feet oozed a viscous liquid, turning the dark woods into a swamp that resisted outsiders.
After much hardship, Yun Liu finally navigated the muddy, winding path and found the seed of the demonic seal, beginning to dig it out.
The soul imprint was surprisingly docile, offering no resistance to Yun Liu as his Divine Sense scalpel rewrote the Soulbinding Seal’s allegiance.
The pinkish seal flickered with strange light, then slowly dimmed.
“Hu….Ha…••”
Lin Shu’s legs convulsed, her arches high, sweat soaking her body. Such a bizarre healing method was unheard of.
For General Lin, these five minutes felt like an eternity.
The high-pitched cries from the room made the three outside swallow nervously.
“Teacher’s hands are too cruel.”
***
When the door opened again, the three girls collapsed in a heap.
“Is… is it over?”
The patient had already changed into casual clothes, her face flushed, sitting on the bed and not daring to look at the medical expert.
Lin Shu was overjoyed. Her qi sea began to flow again.
She clenched her fist—the Jade Palace Golden Core’s spiritual pressure returned, and, freed from the evil art, she feared nothing.
Yun Liu noticed the unusual spiritual pressure and immediately rushed into the courtyard, eyeing Lin Shu with surprise and slight wariness, as if recognizing her.
First an unknown Fake Princess, now a general from the enemy forces—maybe they should just invite all the rebels in.
Is the Prince Consort raising gu in the palace?
Lin Mei touched her flat abdomen, knelt, and bowed respectfully, no longer questioning the earlier “offense.”
“This… this can also break a Demon Sect spell? Forgive my ignorance. May I ask your esteemed name, sir?”
“Yun Liu.”
He washed his hands, concealing his merit and fame, as if still reminiscing.
Lin Shu’s pupils shrank, her voice trembling.
“Is that the newly appointed East Extreme Pavilion Master, the legendary… Heavenly Dao Alchemy Master?”
“Hmph, that’s right!”
Ji Shiyu lifted her nose arrogantly, even more proud than the person herself, fully converted into a brainless teacher fan by Liusu.
Lin Mei glanced at the wealthy Xiao girl, her eyes shocked as she seemed to understand.
She should have realized it when she saw the Shenhua Disciple.
Yun Liu dared not look at Qin Yao. He cleared his throat.
“Your situation is quite unique. This is my first time encountering it, and probably only I in the world could handle it, so the price is a bit higher. Out of pity, let’s say a hundred thousand as a token.”
“A hundred thousand… gold?”
Lin Shu ventured.
“What are you thinking? Of course, Spirit Stones!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu’s vision went black.
As expected of a Heavenly Dao Alchemy Master—worth every penny.
Let alone the Wuling Sect was already gone, even when she was in charge, the small sect could never produce such a fortune.
Might as well sell me!
