Chapter 262: Chapter 240: The Unexpected Buried Chest

"Brother-in-law, what’s that thing in your bowl?" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but frown at the sight of the black mud-like substance,

The thing looks appalling, can it really be effective?

Li Chen laughed heartily, "Xiaoxiao, don’t judge the medicinal mud by its appearance, it’s very useful for toxins like yours."

Li Chen, carrying the bowl, walked over, and as he approached, Lin Xiaoxiao actually noticed that the black substance in the bowl

was emitting a foul smell, comparable to the unpleasant odor of a sewer.

Lin Xiaoxiao almost vomited, "Brother-in-law, please, don’t bring it over."

"How can that be, Xiaoxiao, don’t you want to be cured?" Li Chen frowned and came right up to the sofa, "Xiaoxiao, lie down."

"Brother-in-law, that stuff, it’s too foul-smelling, I can’t stand it." Lin Xiaoxiao said, heart palpitating with fear. To have such a stinky substance applied to her face,

for a girl who cares about beauty, who could endure it?

"Well, it’s up to you, Xiaoxiao, but I’m telling you, just one application and you’ll be cured. Miss this chance and there’s no next time—I won’t treat you again,"

Li Chen said, "Also, the medicinal effect is best right when it’s fresh. If you wait a while longer, it won’t be as effective."

"You either live with acne forever or endure a little pain now, it’s your choice," said Li Chen.

Lin Xiaoxiao, hearing him say that, felt torn, but then resolutely asked, "Then, what should I do?"

"Lie down."

Lin Xiaoxiao obediently lay on the sofa, and Li Chen sat beside her, starting to apply the medicinal mud on her face with his hand.

"Brother-in-law, it stinks!"

"Don’t move around."

Li Chen said, his face all seriousness. In no time, Lin Xiaoxiao’s face was completely covered in the black medicinal mud.

Lin Xiaoxiao kept her lips tightly shut, eyes closed, wishing she could close her nose too, if she didn’t need to breathe.

Such medicinal mud was really too stinky; if Li Chen hadn’t just sworn it would cure her, she would never have agreed to this.

"Xiaoxiao, you have a lot of toxins accumulated inside you. It’s only because of this that they’ve erupted on your face. Don’t speak later, keep your mouth shut to prevent toxins

from getting inside," Li Chen said.

Then he took out Silver Needles and gently inserted them into several acupoints on Lin Xiaoxiao’s face.

As the Silver Needles were inserted, the medicinal mud also began to take effect, and the acne covered by the mud started to break down,

oozing out a watery, yet extremely viscous substance.

Lin Xiaoxiao, feeling the changes on her face, couldn’t help but feel itchy and had the urge to scratch.

"Don’t move, or you’ll undo all the good work," Li Chen warned, scaring Lin Xiaoxiao into immobility.

Watching Lin Xiaoxiao trying to resist the itch, her facial muscles quivering, Li Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

Having applied all the medicinal mud, Li Chen’s work was done. What followed was a wait, letting the medicinal mud’s effects penetrate Lin Xiaoxiao’s skin

and expel all the toxins.

As time ticked away, Lin Xiaoxiao’s acne had mostly burst open, and at the center of each one, there was usually a pore, from which black toxins

were being slowly expelled.

The toxins seeped out of the medicinal mud, trickling down Lin Xiaoxiao’s face.

"Is it done yet, brother-in-law?" Lin Xiaoxiao had been lying with her eyes closed for a good fifteen minutes.

"Just wait a bit longer, the toxins aren’t all out yet."

Several more minutes passed before Li Chen saw that almost all toxins had been expelled and then he removed the Silver Needles.

"All done, Xiaoxiao, you can go wash your face now. It’s almost complete," he said.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold back any longer. She sprang to her feet and dashed into the bathroom to wash the medicinal mud off her face.

Li Chen also went to wash his hands, since indeed the mud had quite an unpleasant smell.

After washing off the medicinal mud and rinsing with water, Lin Xiaoxiao looked up into the mirror and was pleasantly surprised to find that

the acne on her face was gone, and the areas where the acne had been were smooth and seemed even whiter and more delicate than before.

"Brother-in-law is really amazing." Lin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. The medicinal mud seemed to also have a whitening effect; the skin on the lower part of her face looked improved.

"Brother-in-law, you’re awesome!"

Lin Xiaoxiao rushed out of the bathroom, came to Li Chen, and jumped on him, clinging like a koala.

"Wow, brother-in-law, you’re really amazing."

Lin Xiaoxiao was ecstatic, having been close to despair before. She hadn’t expected Li Chen to deliver on his promise so swiftly.

Feeling Lin Xiaoxiao’s liveliness, Li Chen remained silent, secretly smug.

"Brother-in-law, what’s the matter?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, seeing his eyes closed.

"Nothing," Li Chen smiled slightly, "It’s just that, Xiaoxiao, you might be a bit heavy."

"How dare you say I’m heavy!" Lin Xiaoxiao turned into a small raging Lion, "Where am I heavy?"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao tightened her embrace around Li Chen and made a bouncing motion, as if trying to climb higher.

Her face flushed red, Lin Xiaoxiao hopped off Li Chen and, looking at his amused expression, said, "Brother-in-law, consider that my payment for the healing,

I won’t tell my sister."

"How about letting your brother-in-law have another sniff?" Li Chen teased with a mischievous grin.

"Dream on, you only get one chance." Lin Xiaoxiao laughed heartily, feeling good now that her facial acne was gone—she could go out and face people again.

"By the way, brother-in-law, do you know how to do beauty treatments too? I just noticed in the mirror that the lower part of my cheeks seems to be a bit whiter," Lin Xiaoxiao inquired.

"So what’s the payment you’re offering this time?" Li Chen continued with his teasing tone.

Looking at Li Chen like that, Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Brother-in-law, look at you, all eager for rewards. Be careful or I’ll tell my sister and you won’t be allowed in bed tonight."

Alright, at those words, Li Chen instantly sobered up. He was joking, after all—he had plans of getting cozy with his pretty wife tonight.
