Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Depleted Strength

Translator: 549690339
Last time when Luo Ziling gave acupuncture therapy, he didn’t needle Ouyang Feifei’s legs, and he hadn’t explained this point just now. So when Luo Ziling lifted the sleeping robe from Ouyang Feifei’s legs, exposing her long legs, Ouyang Feifei couldn’t help but be startled.

Wang Qing, who was watching from the side, was also taken aback and hurried forward, ready to intervene.

But Luo Ziling’s movements were swift, as Wang Qing’s body just started to move, a silver needle had already pierced into the Yinlingquan Acupoint on Ouyang Feifei’s leg, followed quickly by another needle into the Chengshan Acupoint.

Wang Qing wisely stopped herself and silently returned to her original spot.

Ouyang Feifei also understood that Luo Ziling wasn’t trying to take advantage of her, but was treating her. Therefore, she didn’t move and remained lying down as before. Then, Luo Ziling proceeded to insert several more needles into her legs, each with precision into the acupoints.

After nearly an hour of such treatment, Luo Ziling, drenched in sweat and with his clothes soaked through, finally began to remove the needles one by one from Ouyang Feifei’s acupoints.

As he stood up to put away the silver needles, Luo Ziling staggered, almost falling over. Instinctively, he grabbed onto Ouyang Feifei’s still-exposed leg, which allowed him to steady himself. The smooth sensation in his palm startled him, and in his rush to let go, he became too flustered, and drained of strength, he ended up sitting on the ground.

Ouyang Feifei and Wang Qing both jumped in fright.

“What’s wrong?” Ouyang Feifei quickly asked as she sat up.

“It’s nothing, I’ve just exhausted my strength,” Luo Ziling said, somewhat embarrassedly, and smiled as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ouyang Feifei, who had moved to sit up, saw that Luo Ziling’s head was covered in sweat and his clothes were drenched. She couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.

“Wang Qing, help Ziling to the sofa to rest a while,” Ouyang Feifei ordered her assistant. “He’s exhausted!”

As she spoke, she felt somewhat moved, knowing that Luo Ziling was drained from treating her.

She knew very well how skilled Luo Ziling was; a man with such abilities should have excellent physical strength.

The fact that Luo Ziling had exhausted all his energy treating her showed the extent of his dedication.

After Wang Qing acknowledged with a reply, she immediately came over to lend support, but her strength was too little to lift Luo Ziling.

Seeing this, Ouyang Feifei also got up from the bed to help with Luo Ziling’s other arm.

Luo Ziling swiftly struggled, but ultimately stood up with the assistance of the two women. As he stood up, his arms brushed against something soft, which made him incredibly embarrassed.

Hurriedly breaking free, he struggled to the sofa in the room and, once seated, Luo Ziling awkwardly told the approaching Ouyang Feifei and Wang Qing, “I’m fine, don’t mind me!”

Then he addressed Ouyang Feifei alone, “You lie down first, rest a while, I will need to treat you again later. I’m just going to sit for a while… is there anything to eat?”

Ouyang Feifei glanced at Wang Qing, who understood immediately and quickly left the room.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t say much more, walked back to the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and lay down with two pillows to prop her up.

“How do you feel?” Luo Ziling asked softly.

Just now, the techniques he used on Ouyang Feifei were “Burning Mountain Fire” and “Heart Cooling”.

These two acupuncture skills had been passed down for many years and were very famous therapies from ancient times. The names were from the Ming Dynasty renowned physician Xu Feng’s “Complete Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”. The application of these two skills required high expertise from the practitioner. If the practitioner’s skills were up to standard and they understood how to manipulate qi for treatment, the effects were even more astonishing. The “Burning Mountain Fire” and “Heart Cooling” Luo Ziling had performed had already undergone several changes from what was recorded in “Complete Collection of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”, which meant that Luo Ziling’s grandfather, Luo Liansheng, had made improvements to these two significant acupuncture methods.

Not only had Luo Liansheng made improvements to these two major acupuncture skills, but he also modified many other acupuncture techniques and created a whole set of methods characterized by his unique style.

However, Luo Liansheng didn’t name them, and Luo Ziling didn’t know how to introduce these acupuncture techniques to others.

After administering acupuncture to Ouyang Feifei for about an hour and expending a lot of energy, Luo Ziling really wanted to know how effective it was.

“I feel refreshed as if I’ve had a very good sleep,” Ouyang Feifei didn’t hide her feelings and shared all of her sensations, “The fatigue from the past few days seems to have vanished, and all the discomfort in my body is gone.”

Actually, Ouyang Feifei had broken into a sweat too. Drenched in her fragrant perspiration, she truly felt refreshed and experienced an indescribable sense of comfort.

She really wanted to lie there without moving, to fully enjoy this comfort in her body.

“That’s good,” Knowing the effects of his acupuncture were quite satisfactory from Ouyang Feifei’s words, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, “If it’s always this effective, it shouldn’t take too long to completely cure your illness. However…”

“However, what?” Ouyang Feifei couldn’t help but ask, a bit subconsciously.

“If a few more acupoints were pricked, the effect would be even better, otherwise, there will be some loss,” Luo Ziling said somewhat shyly, and then quickly explained, “But just now, the effects of the acupoints that were needled were good, so it’s alright not to needle those few.”

Ouyang Feifei’s pretty face blushed slightly, her heart suddenly torn.

Fortunately, at that moment, Wang Qing came in with some food, and Ouyang Feifei didn’t say anything more.

The food that Wang Qing brought included milk, bread, and fruit.

Luo Ziling unceremoniously took the food tray and started eating without any hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, he finished all the food on the plate. After eating, he felt a bit of strength returning to his body.

Wang Qing and Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling with amused expressions, surprised that he could eat so much. The two women’s combined appetite was not even on par with his.

After eating voraciously, Luo Ziling broke into sweat again, and felt even more embarrassed.

“You should take a shower first,” Ouyang Feifei instructed Luo Ziling, “Take a bath first, then we’ll go out to eat together later.”

“Maybe not… I didn’t bring a change of clothes,” he said, his face flushed with embarrassment.

“I will prepare clothes for you to change into,” Wang Qing said expressionlessly, “Go take your shower first, I’ll bring them to you soon.”

Smelling the sweat on his body, Luo Ziling thought about it and agreed.

Without saying much more, Wang Qing led him to the neighboring guest room and after telling him that she would bring over all his clothes to change into shortly, she walked out with her head held high.

Luo Ziling thought about it, didn’t fuss too much, dropped his precious bag, took off his outer clothes, and rushed into the bathroom.

Soon enough, he was completely stripped, and he jumped into the bathtub.

As he filled the tub with water and comfortably leaned against its walls, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but breathe out in relief.

Sleepiness quickly overcame him, and in a short while, he actually fell asleep leaning against the bathtub wall.
