Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Mist Bug

Xia Yanbing gently shook her head; indeed, she was utterly exhausted these past few days. However, she simply couldn’t fall asleep. Each time she did, she would wake up crying.

In her dreams, she always saw Qin Yi smiling and opening his arms to walk toward her, but every time she joyfully leaped into Qin Yi’s arms, she would pass right through him. Qin Yi would drift away like a shadow, never stopping no matter how she cried and screamed.

He had promised her he would return safe and sound, but he broke his word.

Xia Yanbing’s eyes reddened of their own accord.

Lin Hongzhuang looked full of heartache, but she didn’t know how to comfort her since they all knew Xia Yanbing was thinking of Qin Yi again.

Liu Yiren walked in and whispered, "Great beauty, Uncle Duan is here."

The Uncle Duan Liu Yiren mentioned was Duan Xinyuan. He knew about Duan Yiyi’s feelings for Qin Yi, so he didn’t insist on taking Duan Yiyi back to the Duan Family but stayed here instead.

Xia Yanbing nodded slightly, steadied her emotions, and then got up to walk out.

Duan Xinyuan stood in the living room, alongside a middle-aged man with a haughty expression, carrying a medical kit on his back.

There was no need to ask; it was clear this was someone Duan Xinyuan invited to treat Duan Yiyi.

"Family Head Duan," Xia Yanbing slightly nodded in greeting.

Duan Xinyuan hastily said, "President Xia, let me introduce you. This is Gu Shi, the Divine Doctor of the Gai Family from Cloud River."

The Gai Family is well-known in Cloud River. Not only are they a family of Qi Refiners, but they’re also a famous Ancient Medical Family, with extraordinary medical skills.

It’s challenging to invite someone from the Gai Family, and Duan Xinyuan has paid a great price to invite them to treat Duan Yiyi this time.

Xia Yanbing slightly bowed, "Hello, Divine Doctor Gu!"

Gu Shi’s eyes seemed to linger on Xia Yanbing, amazed at her unparalleled beauty. Although she was pregnant, with her belly slightly bulging, it added to an indescribable allure, making Gu Shi swallow secretly.

Xia Yanbing frowned slightly, feeling displeased. If it were the past, she would have already driven Gu Shi out, but for Duan Yiyi’s sake, she could only endure the disgust.

"Divine Doctor Gu?" Duan Xinyuan coughed.

Gu Shi quickly returned to his senses, realizing he had been distracted, and to cover his embarrassment, he forced a smile, saying, "This lady is actually carrying twins. I got distracted for a moment, my apologies."

It turned out he was observing her belly, and just a glance could tell she was carrying twins. It seemed this Divine Doctor Gu has true abilities. She realized she misunderstood him.

"Divine Doctor Gu, since you’ve noticed, is President Xia and the baby doing well?" Duan Xinyuan asked.

Gu Shi seriously said, "I’m afraid I can only make a definitive judgment after an examination."

"Then I kindly ask the Divine Doctor Gu to check President Xia as well."

Gu Shi nodded slightly, approached Xia Yanbing, who instinctively raised her wrist, but Gu Shi directly reached for her belly.

Xia Yanbing’s face changed, and she instinctively retreated a few steps.

Gu Shi’s hand hung awkwardly in the air, a sinister look flashing in his eyes.

"Isn’t it supposed to be taking the pulse?" Xia Yanbing asked.

Gu Shi withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "A belly examination is more accurate."

"Then don’t trouble the Divine Doctor Gu. It’s more urgent to treat Yiyi first. I know my own body; there’s nothing wrong."

Xia Yanbing said indifferently. Apart from Qin Yi, she would not let any man touch anything other than her wrist. She had just undergone a prenatal check yesterday, and the baby was healthy. Besides, she was also a Qi Refiner; how could she not know her body’s condition?

Gu Shi seemed dignified but always gave her a particularly uncomfortable feeling.

Gu Shi’s gaze flickered, a wicked smile flashing in his eyes.

Duan Xinyuan feared Xia Yanbing’s reaction might upset Gu Shi, so he quickly said, "Divine Doctor Gu, my daughter is inside; please check on her first."

Gu Shi nodded, "Lead the way!"

Upon reaching Duan Yiyi’s room, Gu Shi was utterly astonished. This villa actually housed such rare beauties, and even the delicate girl lying unconscious on the bed was a little beauty.

Gu Shi’s eyes flickered with a lewd light. It was truly a good place; he planned to stay here for a while longer.

"Divine Doctor Gu, this is my daughter, Duan Yiyi. She was seriously injured by someone and is now unconscious."

Gu Shi assumed the posture of a superior person, slightly nodding as he stepped forward, greedily observing Duan Yiyi’s beautiful face and delicate body.

Xia Yanbing was very uncomfortable with Gu Shi’s gaze and asked, "Divine Doctor Gu, did you find anything?"

Gu Shi paused, realizing he had lost his composure again and hastily straightened up, changing his words, "I can’t see it; I need to examine first."

Then Gu Shi looked towards Lin Hongzhuang, "Miss, can I borrow the silk scarf around your neck?"

Lin Hongzhuang paused, and without much thought, handed him the silk scarf. Gu Shi caressed it a bit, then gently placed it on Duan Yiyi’s wrist to check her pulse.

After a round of examination, Gu Shi lifted his hand, his expression solemn.

Everyone grew tense at heart.

"Divine Doctor Gu, how’s my daughter’s condition?" Duan Xinyuan asked nervously.

Gu Shi slightly shook his head, "The situation is not good."

Everyone’s heart sank.

"Divine Doctor Gu, what’s wrong exactly?"

Gu Shi glanced at Duan Yiyi and whispered, "Let’s discuss it outside; it’s not appropriate in front of the patient."

Everybody went outside and sat down, Liu Yiren providing tea for everyone.

Gu Shi’s eyes flickered with a strange glow, and his smile was somewhat evil. With a slight shake of his wrist, several tiny black insects crawled out of his sleeve and then took flight.

All eyes were on Gu Shi, so no one noticed the tiny black insects falling into their tea cups.

These were mist insects, originating from the swamps of the deep mountains around Cloud River. They had no other attack power, but their frightening aspect was that they could briefly cause people’s minds to lose control, and when they woke, they remembered nothing of what had happened.

Moreover, these mist insects were ineffective against ordinary people, but were infallibly effective against Qi Refiners, especially those with high cultivation levels, for whom the effects were even more pronounced.

The Gai Family had done research and used mist insects to control a Golden Core Great Perfection master. Although the control was brief, lasting only half a day, afterward, the master remembered nothing.

Gu Shi was naturally lascivious, and when treating female Qi Refiners, he frequently used mist insects to take advantage. Afterward, those female Qi Refiners remembered nothing, and it always worked.

He himself was a Qi Refiner, and upon entering this villa, he found that it housed rare beauties, all of whom were Qi Refiners, arousing his lascivious intentions on the spot.

Gu Shi planned to use the mist insects to control Xia Yanbing and the others’ minds, indulging himself until he’d had his fill, and then undoing it, leaving the women with no memory of the events. The more Gu Shi thought about it, the more delighted he became, barely able to hide the lust in his eyes.

Noticing no one picked up their tea cups, Gu Shi felt secretly frustrated and slowly lifted his tea cup, gesturing a toast in the air.

Out of courtesy, Xia Yanbing and the others instinctively picked up the tea cups in front of them.

"Drink, drink quickly... After you drink, I’ll make you hover between ecstasy and agony..." Watching Xia Yanbing and the others’ stunning faces and figures, Gu Shi’s throat moved; he could hardly restrain his lustful heart.
