Chapter 370: Chapter 368 Seize the Opportunity

Nian Shutong extended a hand of friendship toward Fu Yunhe and heavily patted it on his shoulder.

"Don’t worry, how could I harbor improper thoughts toward a close friend!"

"Ha ha... you’re right."

Fu Yunhe didn’t know with what mindset he had said those words, as he himself hadn’t sorted out his thoughts yet, they were too chaotic.

The term "close friend" had already lost its original meaning to him.

"First, I’ll perform acupoint stimulation. My abilities have improved, so I will use crystal stones for the stimulation this time. It should heal about ninety percent or so. The remaining ten percent, just adjust and slowly nourish it over one or two months, and you should be fine."

Fu Yunhe’s entire attention was captivated by Nian Shutong’s words, he repeated, "Do you mean, I’ll be healed?"

"Yes! Why the surprise?"

Nian Shutong spread her hands, asking Fu Yunhe, "Don’t you trust me?"

Fu Yunhe took about ten seconds, then slowly shook his head.

"I do trust you, just still shocked."

"Nian Shutong, don’t mention this ability to change one’s constitution to anyone outside."

Nian Shutong, across from him, actually laughed first, and with a somewhat helpless tone she asked Fu Yunhe, "Do you really think I’m a good person?"

"Don’t forget, when we first met, you narrowly escaped death several times."

"If I hadn’t found you agreeable, you would have been buried here by now."

Listening to this, Fu Yunhe wasn’t upset at all and instead agreed, saying, "Fortunately, I had some savings at that time."

As soon as he mentioned this, Nian Shutong also became enthusiastic. She nudged Fu Yunhe with her elbow.

"Hey, were those savings the Commander’s or the sickly one’s?"

"You guess?"

"Can’t tell. If it was the sickly one’s, it proves he was somewhat smart. If it was the Commander’s, that would mean you were quite foolish as a Commander!"

Nian Shutong’s bright disdainful eyes scrutinized Fu Yunhe closely, not missing a single expression, and suddenly slapped his shoulder.

"Was it your own? You’re really poor for a Commander."

While speaking and shaking her head, Nian Shutong uttered another statement that jolted Fu Yunhe more.

"No wonder Ha Ha came here penniless and clueless, he must have learned from you."

Realizing he was struck speechless by Nian Shutong’s words, as if there was no fault in them.

He simply nodded and said, "You’re right."

Nian Shutong didn’t inquire further, and this time she truly started to have Fu Yunhe undress.

"Hand me the tub for the medicinal soak, I’ll fetch some water for you."

Fu Yunhe didn’t refuse, not because he wasn’t gentlemanly, but because he really couldn’t fetch the water himself; previously, Ha Ha had always helped.

When Nian Shutong went to fetch water, Fu Yunhe changed into a bathrobe, the kind that could be removed simply by undoing a belt.

Fu Yunhe figured undoing a belt was somewhat more dignified than removing trousers.

When Nian Shutong returned with the water, she first set it aside.

All Fu Yunhe could see was her continuously pulling out top-grade crystal stones.

One after another, the top-grade crystal stones were neatly laid at the bottom of the tub, slowly forming a layer.

Fu Yunhe didn’t know what to think. Even as a Commander, he had never used so many top-grade crystal stones at once. The value of this medicinal bath had already exceeded far, far more than usual.

After laying two layers of crystal stones, Nian Shutong poured the water in, and after a whoosh, there was just a little bit of water, it seemed only enough to barely cover the crystal stones.

Next, Nian Shutong stood by the tub, her left hand’s middle finger and index finger held together as she pushed downward on her right wrist. As she reached the tips of her right fingers, about a dozen drops of dark green liquid fell.

Is this really the medicinal bath she prepared herself?

Fu Yunhe had no idea what he was soaking in, as it was always Nian Shutong who prepared it while Ha Ha handled heating the water.

Fu Yunhe didn’t know what the dark green liquid was, but he knew that such a heaven-defying medicine liquid couldn’t be obtained easily.

His life had been saved by her.

Fu Yunhe’s eyes held a tenderness that he couldn’t clearly see himself as he continued to gaze at Nian Shutong.

However, at this moment, mist arose between them, filling the entire room, and the thickest within the tub.

"Go ahead, today it’s all medicine vapor and spiritual energy transformed from crystal stones."

"I understand, thank you."

Fu Yunhe stepped one leg into the medicinal tub, sitting down and beginning to undo his belt, preparing to remove his robe.

"Just take off your top."

"It won’t interfere."

Fu Yunhe had already thrown his robe halfway off, now feeling a chilly sensation on his lower half, wondering if it was inappropriate to retrieve it.

Nian Shutong’s vision wasn’t affected by the mist, but she still took Fu Yunhe’s dignity into consideration.

"Uhm, are you done?"

"I can’t see clearly here, let me know when you’re ready."

Can’t see clearly?

Fu Yunhe certainly couldn’t see clearly and had no idea about Nian Shutong’s condition, assuming it must be the same as his.

"I’m ready, I’m already seated in the tub."

Fu Yunhe crossed his legs and sat properly, wanting to relax yet feeling very nervous.

And oddly today, it didn’t hurt at all.

If it were painful, how could he afford to let his mind wander?

Nian Shutong looked at Fu Yunhe, now seated properly, took a step forward, and spoke, "I’m starting now."

A cool palm rested on Fu Yunhe’s back, as a continuous flow of spiritual power was transformed by Nian Shutong into medicinal power, constantly cleansing Fu Yunhe’s meridians.

Fu Yunhe was of an innate weak constitution, meaning his meridians were fine and his internal organs had various levels of damage—a typical example of not a single part being unscathed.

Nian Shutong’s task was to use the innate pure medicinal power to repair all his damaged organs and meridians.

To concentrate fully, Nian Shutong closed her eyes, focusing solely on the healing power of the medicine.

Heart—Liver—Spleen—Lungs...

Every organ, once repaired, became vigorous and strong, though their rhythm was a bit slow. After a month or two of repair, they would be completely healthy and even stronger than most people.

Fu Yunhe had the most direct feeling, originally his heart struggled with every beat which his powerful spiritual power could capture.

Sometimes, he even feared it might stop wanting to beat.

But now, each time felt different; even breathing had become easier.

As the repairs continued, Fu Yunhe’s body became more relaxed, allowing his vast spiritual power finally more room.

He felt almost like he was undergoing a mystical transformation.

His inherent spiritual power also truly began to merge into his body.

"Seize the moment, cultivate."
