Chapter 886: Chapter 887 Qiao Yutong’s Temptation

Qiao Yutong’s colleagues had been here for half an hour, and seeing that though Qiao Yutong couldn’t get out of bed, she evidently was in good spirits, they stopped worrying. They comforted her to rest well and that she must recuperate fully before she could rejoin the team.

Finally, after sending these people away, Qiao Yutong took a long breath of relief. Sitting by the bed, Song Xiaodong chuckled, "Why do you look so uncomfortable?" Qiao Yutong rolled her eyes and said, "Nonsense. You try lying in bed motionless and letting others gawk at you. It really made me feel like they were viewing my remains."

"Pfft!" Song Xiaodong burst into laughter and said, "If people were to view remains and saw someone with big rolling eyes lying on the bed, that would scare the daylights out of them."

"Ha..." Qiao Yutong also laughed, then frowned and said, "Pull the quilt down a bit for me, let me get some air. I feel like I’m suffocating, this feeling of being unable to move my hands and feet is truly maddening."

Song Xiaodong pulled down the quilt a little, and Qiao Yutong finally took a comfortable breath and said, "This is much better now."

"I’ll give you another acupuncture treatment this morning," Song Xiaodong said.

"Oh, you’re not going to tell me that you used acupuncture to snatch my life back from the brink yesterday, are you?"

"Yeah, what did you think?" Song Xiaodong said with a smile as he took out the silver needles.

"No way, is it really that miraculous?" Qiao Yutong widened her eyes in astonishment and said, "With such long needles, aren’t you going to prick me to death?"

"Do you want my treatment or not?" Song Xiaodong glared at Qiao Yutong with irritation and said, "You think I treat just anyone? You are lucky that I’m willing to treat you."

"Go ahead and treat me then," Qiao Yutong said with a pout, adding, "Look at you, acting all high and mighty."

Song Xiaodong then flipped all the quilt off of Qiao Yutong, and at this time she did not react. First, because she knew she needed treatment, and second, she had already done the most embarrassing thing like going to the bathroom in front of Song Xiaodong, so there was nothing left to be embarrassed about.

Watching Song Xiaodong stick one needle after another into her body, Qiao Yutong was initially extremely nervous. However, she soon realized it wasn’t painful at all, but rather it felt quite comfortable. This allowed her to relax, and then her strong curiosity surged.

She really wanted to ask, but seeing Song Xiaodong was extremely focused, she quickly held back, knowing that acupuncture must be about hitting the right acupoints. If she distracted Song Xiaodong and caused him to hit the wrong spot, a jab might just sting, but if he hit a vital area, she could end up dead which would be a real injustice.

After a while, Song Xiaodong began to sweat. Qiao Yutong was even more surprised. It didn’t seem like a big deal to place a few needles, so why did Song Xiaodong look so exhausted?

Upon feeling more attentively, she realized that whenever Song Xiaodong twirled the needles, a faint warmth would transmit from the needles into her body. This must be the reason Song Xiaodong was tired, right?

About an hour later, Song Xiaodong withdrew the silver needles, then while wiping his sweat, he said, "If you want to talk, talk. Don’t stifle yourself to death."

"Pfft!" Qiao Yutong rolled her eyes and said, "I was really about to be stifled to death." And then she immediately asked excitedly, "Is this that legendary True Qi?"

"Hmm, pretty much," Song Xiaodong nodded and answered.

"No way, this is real? I always thought that was just stuff from novels," Qiao Yutong said in disbelief.

"There’s a lot you don’t know. There are quite a few people who can use True Qi nowadays," Song Xiaodong muttered to himself. He used to think that there were few people capable of using True Qi, but now he realized that those who knew how to use True Qi were all in big families that controlled these resources. Even the methods to cultivate True Qi were provided only for their own family members; ordinary people could hardly even dream of touching it.

"Can you teach me?" Qiao Yutong asked eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement.

"This can’t be taught casually to just anyone."

"Then how can you teach me? Is sleeping with you an option?"

"Pfft!" Song Xiaodong immediately widened his eyes and said, "Are you crazy?"

"After all, you’ve already touched me, kissed me, and even seen me pee. It wouldn’t be a big deal to sleep with you, right? That would show my sincerity. I really want to learn it badly."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he said, "So if I don’t teach you, and later on you meet someone who knows True Qi, you’re going to offer yourself to him as well?"

"How could that be!" Qiao Yutong rolled her eyes and said, "Do I look like someone who is that casual to you? Didn’t I tell you, you’ve taken every advantage of me; what’s the big deal if you take a bit more and I get some True Qi in exchange? I need to make some gains."

Song Xiaodong truly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "You’re really something. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sleep with you and then teach you nothing?"

Qiao Yutong immediately said fiercely, "Then I’ll castrate you!"

Song Xiaodong felt a chill in his groin and said, "I’d better consider the wellbeing of my future sexual happiness. Let’s forget about sleeping together."

"What’s wrong, you think I’m not pretty, or is it my figure you don’t like?" Qiao Yutong glared as she asked.

"Of course not, you are indeed beautiful and have a great figure, plus a wildness about you. For a man, sleeping with you would definitely bring a sense of conquering pleasure. But I won’t lie to you; I have several wives already, and they keep a tight leash on me. I dare not get involved with another woman."

"Damn you, you bastard, having several wives is bigamy! I’ll have you arrested for that."

Song Xiaodong just smiled and didn’t take the bait, saying, "However, if you really want to learn, it’s not impossible. I’ll teach you the method later. Whether you can master it depends on your fate. This isn’t something that hard work alone can achieve."

"You’ll really teach me? You’re not just making an excuse and then giving me some fake stuff, are you?"

"Qiao Yutong!" Song Xiaodong gave her a look.

Qiao Yutong immediately chuckled and said, "No, no, I was just talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously; don’t be mad. Look, I’m not even making you cover me with the quilt, leaving myself in full view."

Song Xiaodong was speechless and simply pulled the quilt over Qiao Yutong, then turned and walked out.

Qiao Yutong’s large eyes blinked a few times, filled with excitement. If she could learn Song Xiaodong’s skills, she would become stronger and wouldn’t get seriously injured by just catching a small thief.

After a while, Song Xiaodong came back. Qiao Yutong immediately looked at him with expectation and asked, "Are you going to teach me now?"

Song Xiaodong, with a smile tinged with helplessness, said, "In your condition, can you even train?"

"Then I can memorize it first, right? Dear Dongzi, please teach me. If it comes down to it, I’ll acknowledge you as my master. From now on, I’ll be your disciple. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it; I’ll listen to you. Is that okay?"

Qiao Yutong pleading in such a gentle manner was extremely rare. It showed how desperately she wanted to learn Song Xiaodong’s skills. How could Song Xiaodong possibly have the heart to refuse her?
