Chapter 56: Tender Feelings (Seeking Recommendations)

  (New book is like a tender sprout, needs good care. Besides, Sanjiang recommended it, seeking votes for Sanjiang's recommendation ~)

  ……

  Yan Zhiwu looked at Chen Mo's icy face, pulled out a stack of gold notes, and said with a smile: "Here are 150,000 taels of gold notes, far exceeding the diagnostic fee that Qu Xinghe gave to the Xuan Yuan brothers. I only ask the Xuan Yuan brothers to be generous and tell me the formula for the medicinal dan and treatment method for treating Miss Qu. If there's ever a need in the future, this young master will definitely not decline and will provide full assistance."

  "Not for sale." He ignored Yan Zhiwu's words and continued in a cold tone.

  "Ungrateful and asking for trouble."

  As soon as the words fell, Yan Zhiwu let out a loud whistle. His body shape was like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, pouncing towards Chen Mo, his ten fingers curved like claws, one in front of the other, with sharp finger energy bursting out, shining with golden light, making a piercing "chi" sound, and fiercely clawing at Chen Mo's head.

  The mighty eagle claw hand, ordinary goods high-level kung fu, finger strength solidified, hard and soft complement each other, lead to the outside, strong through the body, just conquer the eagle claw's wonder, use it with ease.

  At the moment of using it, concentrate your strength on your fingers, with all five fingers like iron claws and steel hooks, the power of your fingers is astonishing, you can hurt the enemy when they are not prepared, defeat the enemy in an invisible way.

  Chen Mo suddenly turned around, easily dodging the attack. A strong gust of wind whizzed past his face, stinging his eyes.

  One move failed, the mysterious energy inside his body surged out again. He sprang up, forming a golden bell shape with his hands curved like claws, facing Chen Mo's headtop. Quickly weaving into a dense fishing net that left no gaps, it enveloped Chen Mo, carrying an overwhelming force that would surely strangle him to death here.

  Chen Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, as if he wanted to disregard everything and directly behead Yan Zhiwu.

  Just then, a loud shout came over.

  "Spare the old man!"

  Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of Chen Mo, blocking his way. A withered hand emerged from the black sleeve and reached out to grab Yan Zhiwu's arm.

  As the palm moved, a black shadow gradually emerged from the back of the hand, like the giant claws of a primordial beast from the vast wilderness, carrying an suffocating aura that pounced forward.

  Bang! The two men's palms collided violently, and Yan Zhiwu suddenly felt a tremor in his tiger's mouth. His internal energy and blood could not help but surge up, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

  Knock knock knock~

  Yan Zhiwu retreated several steps with a thud, only then did he steady himself.

  "What's the meaning of this?" Yan Zhiwu's eyes were uncertain, staring at the person who came.

  "Mr. Yan is a clever man and naturally knows the intention of this old slave."

  The old man known as Mo Lao, hunched over with his back bent, looked like a piece of rotten wood about to collapse. If not for seeing him take action, who would have believed that the terrifying aura just now was actually emitted from this shaky old man's body?

  "Hmmph!" Knowing that things can't be done, Yan Zhiwu glared at Chen Mo with a fierce gaze before turning around and leaving.

  "Thanks for Mo Lao's help."

  Seeing Yan Zhiwu leave, Chen Mo didn't dare to be slow and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Old Man Mo.

  "Xuanyuan young master, you're too polite. Even if I didn't show up, I believe your own strength wouldn't be at a disadvantage. However, please rest assured that on the Yan family's side, I will make sure to knock some sense into them, and they won't come looking for trouble with you again in the future."

  After finishing, the old and turbid eyes of Mo Lao emitted a sharp light, extremely admiringly gazing at Chen Mo, his hunched back, accompanied by waves of coughing sounds, gradually disappearing into the crowd.

  Chen Mo found a place to stay, thought for a moment, and then started moving around the room, sometimes raising his hand, sometimes kicking his leg. He completely entered a strange state of mind, and gradually began to practice Golden Fist in the room. The moves were slow, but the force was strong and powerful, the movements were simple, the fists and legs were used alternately, offense and defense were combined, and the fist movement became more and more vigorous and powerful.

  It was unclear how much time had passed when the bright moonlight shone through the window and filled the entire room.

  Chen Mo stopped after completing the seventh round of his Diamond Fist technique, no longer feeling any of the previous rhythm.

  After a lot of exercise, Chen Mo felt thirsty and walked to the wooden table, sat down, and drank up the whole pot of tea water, feeling a little better.

  After a whole night of practicing Golden Fist, not only did I not feel tired, but my body was filled with energy and my spirit was full. This was the perfect opportunity to make a breakthrough. Carefully, I took out the Four-Treasures Refining Pill that I had bought during the day and slowly opened it.

  A fragrance that intoxicates the lungs and liver wafts forth, a dan medicine the size of a longan appears before one's eyes, crystal clear and round, with a smooth luster that emits a faint soft white glow.

  Although the severe poison in Miss Qu's body has been temporarily suppressed, if you want to completely eliminate it, you still need to consolidate treatment. Using green liquid so frequently will likely affect Xiao Nianzhi, and if it hurts her foundation, it would be a loss.

  It seems that I should focus on healing Qu Miss as soon as possible, and the improvement of cultivation can only be sought through other means. For now, prioritize cultivating the Radiant Divine Tree.

  As soon as it was swallowed, the powerful medicinal properties took effect, forming a thread of extremely pure medicinal properties that merged into the body. It stimulated the Xuan Qi, sending the medicinal properties to the Sea of Consciousness.

  Still in the state of tender shoots, the divine tree of light seemed to be bathed in a holy aura, emitting dazzling rays all over its body. The tiny buds on the branches finally absorbed enough nutrients and suddenly unfolded, sparkling with dew, lush greenery everywhere.

  After one night, the small tender shoots unfolded, and the second piece of light green tender leaves fully grew. Even the third leaf's tender buds slightly poked out their small heads.

  Not only that, but the rhizome has also become much thicker.

  The resplendent and radiant Tree of Light seemed to be filled with the power of life, greatly increasing Chen Mo's confidence.

  ……

  Several days later, Chen Mo came to Qu Fu again for treatment.

  Inside the white silk tent, two people sat cross-legged facing each other, a pair of slender jade fingers grasped in Chen Mo's palm. The delicate five fingers were as if carved by a heavenly craftsman, the tender skin color seemed to break at the touch, making one feel pity and cherish them.

  Chen Mo secretly operated the Bright Mystical Qi, and a faint cyan green light lingered on his palm, transmitting into Qu Tianyu's meridians.

  A warm and gentle breath approached, and Qu Tianyu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of comfort in her body and mind. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her voice was enchanting and captivating, as if it contained a hint of seduction.

  This made her jade cheeks ripple with a faint blush, she secretly opened her eyes to take a peek at Chen Mo, and found that he was concentrating on treating the patient, only then did she slightly put down her restless heart.

  After the treatment, Qu Tianyao was still very weak, but she had obviously improved. Seeing her in a simple white dress, her pale face finally showed its original tender and rosy complexion.

  Qu Tianyao, who had never had physical contact with a man before, blushed brightly on her pretty face, although gentle, yet revealed the girl's trembling and tender feelings.

  Always feeling this way, Qu Tianya's delicate face was full of shyness, her lips lightly gasping for breath several times before calming the chaotic heartbeat. Although bedridden with illness, she felt an unexpected reluctance to part with this treatment.

  Chen Mo was not relaxed, sweat beads seeped out from his forehead, streaking across his cheeks, and the original wax-yellow makeup now had traces of it. About a minute later, he slowly retracted the Bright Mystical Energy, seeing that Qu Tianyao's complexion was not bad, took a breath, and slowly loosened Qu Tianyao's soft as silk-like jade fingers.

  Qū Tiān Yáo calmed down her racing heart, slowly opened her eyes, and burst out laughing. She covered her lips with her jade fingers, lowered her head, and felt a wave of heat rising to her face.

  It seems that the treatment is effective, and Qu Tianyao is also pleased.

  "Miss seems to have recovered almost completely. In a few more days, she will definitely be able to find her old self again." Chen Mo comforted.

  Jian Qu Tian Yao smiled with a hint of lingering amusement, raised her beautiful eyes, seemingly smiling yet not quite.

  "Wait a moment, Xuan Yuan Gongzi." Qu Tian Yao's voice was as smooth as jade and like a clear spring flowing over rocks, accompanied by a gentle breeze that brushed against Chen Mo's ears, making him shiver slightly.

  "Jasmine, go and fetch a basin of clear water." He continued to instruct the maid waiting outside the mosquito net.

  Chen Mo finally reacted, wiping the sweat beads on his face with his hand, and a layer of yellow wax powder stuck to his fingers. He secretly thought it was not good, originally forcing out some sweat beads to cover up the effect of the green leaves, but unexpectedly, his external disguise had revealed his true intentions.

  "Hmm, heh heh." Chen Mo let out a dry laugh.

  In a basin of clear water, Chen Mo picked up a handful of water and washed his face. His original appearance immediately reappeared.

  Through the gauze, she saw Chen Mo washing away his disguise. Qu Tian Yao had always been grateful for saving her life, and now that they were face to face, he suddenly appeared before her eyes, his delicate figure moving slightly, stirring up a ripple in her heart.

  His skin was fair and his features were exceptionally clear, especially those eyes, with a distinct black and white pupils, revealing a strong will. He looked like a vigorous young man, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and his introverted eyes added a touch of maturity to him.

  The young girl's tender and shy demeanor evokes a deep sense of sympathy and affection.

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi, I heard that Yan Zhiwu intentionally made things difficult for you?" Qu Tianyao's thoughts were still meticulous despite being bedridden with illness.

  "Miss, you're overthinking, one Yan Zhiwu can't handle me." Chen Mo said calmly and naturally.

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi, even if you're not worried about Yan Zhiwu, living outside is indeed inconvenient for coming and going. It's better to stay in the guest room inside the mansion, it's more relaxing."

  "In that case, I'd rather obey than show respect."

  Chen Mo thought to himself that living in Qu's residence would indeed save him a lot of trouble, allowing him to focus on treating his illness and practicing martial arts.

  After some time had passed, after Chen Mo's efforts, Qu Tianyao's poison had improved by about 70-80%.

  By the vermillion corridor, beside a small pavilion with green tiles and red pillars, on an artificial hill about one zhang high, water flows down into the pool. Water droplets fall onto the lotus leaves like jade stones and pearls, quivering gently; in the pool, the red carp flicks its tail, causing the lotus leaves to tremble violently.

  "Ho, ho……" A silvery laughter came from the small pavilion, and only then did one see that Xiaobai, the little black turtle, had stood up. Its two front legs were waving in the air to find balance, its neck was stretched straight up, and a spirit fruit was placed on top of its mouth. With a forceful nod of its round head, the spirit fruit was tossed into the air, falling perfectly into its mouth without tilting or swaying. This again caused Qu Tianyao beside it to cover her lips and laugh loudly.

  Chen Mo was speechless with sweat, did this little eight still have any integrity? Having Lingguo was like having a mother, and in order to get more Lingguo from Qu Tianyu, he didn't even mind ruining the divine beast's image. But then again, the Qu family really had thick resources, using first-rate spiritual medicine to tease the turtle and make it happy.
