As for how to treat Li Lili's unrequited love, Cheng Xiaofan was truly stumped.
In fact, the Shennong Jing contained a method for treating unrequited love: using spiritual energy to modify the patient's memories.
Erasing the feelings for a certain person.
However, this method had significant side effects.
It might lead the patient to renounce the world and become a nun.
Li Lili was Li Jieqiong's lifeline.
If her daughter were to become a detached nun, wouldn't that be the end of her?
Furthermore, Cheng Xiaofan had a large number of businesses in the capital.
He still relied on this prominent figure in the business world to manage them.
In this era, talent was the rarest commodity!
For this reason alone, he had to cure Li Lili's unrequited love.
Especially since the illness was caused by him.
Who told him he was too handsome?
Making her infatuated with him!
As a responsible man.
He had to shoulder this responsibility!
With this thought.
Cheng Xiaofan finally recalled a miraculous method of treatment.
That was to enter her dreams and modify her memories.
"Li Jieqiong,"
At this moment, he said to Li Jieqiong, "When I treat a patient, I prefer not to have a second person present for quietness."
"Please excuse yourself!"
Li Jieqiong quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Cheng, I'll go down right away."
Cheng Xiaofan added, "After you go down, go to the kitchen and make some food for Li Lili."
"Looking at her complexion, she hasn't eaten for days."
"When she wakes up, give her some nourishment!"
"Otherwise, her body won't be able to sustain itself!"
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Li Jieqiong said excitedly, "Mr. Cheng, I'll go down and prepare now!"
Cheng Xiaofan did not forget to remind her, "Do not come back without my permission!"
"I understand, I understand!" Li Jieqiong said with a radiant smile.
From Cheng Xiaofan's tone, she could tell that her daughter would be alright.
As for how Cheng Xiaofan would treat her daughter, that was not her concern.
Even if he were to "bully" her daughter while treating her, she would be delighted.
She had long known that her daughter had fallen for Cheng Xiaofan.
If her daughter could latch onto someone like Cheng Xiaofan, who seemed to walk amongst the clouds.
It was her dream come true!
After Cheng Xiaofan saw Li Jieqiong leave.
He then proceeded with his treatment plan.
He sat by Li Lili's bedside.
And once again placed his right palm on her forehead.
At the same time, Cheng Xiaofan closed his eyes.
Li Lili's dream reappeared before his eyes.
This enchantress was, as always, clinging to him.
Seeing her frenzied state, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If this continued, Li Lili's life would be over before dawn.
Although it was just a dream.
For the patient, the expenditure of spiritual energy was terrifying.
He never expected that unrequited love could torment a person to such an extent.
In fact!
Cheng Xiaofan could have easily fulfilled Li Lili's desires.
After all, with the transformative remodeling from the Rejuvenation Pill.
She had become a brand new young maiden.
But every time Cheng Xiaofan thought of her entwined with the poisonous cultivator Bai He in a small town motel, he felt a surge of nausea.
In his heart, he had already relegated her to a different category.
Nevertheless!
Li Lili's current predicament.
He felt it was his responsibility to save her.
Immediately!
Cheng Xiaofan channeled a stream of spiritual energy into Li Lili's mind.
At the same time, he sent a sliver of his primordial spirit into her dream.
At that very moment!
Cheng Xiaofan merged that sliver of primordial spirit with his own image in Li Lili's dream.
Boom!
He felt as if his mind had exploded.
Clearly, it was a sliver of his primordial spirit entering Li Lili's dream.
Yet, he felt as if he was entwined with Li Lili.
If it were any other man, his mind would have surely been thrown into chaos.
He would have been desperate to pounce on her and ravage her.
However!
Cheng Xiaofan was no ordinary person.
His self-control was beyond that of ordinary people.
Hoo!
He exhaled deeply, stabilized his mind, and closed his eyes.
He then transformed within Li Lili's dream.
"Mr. Cheng,"
"I love you so much!"
"You are the god in my heart!"
"I am your humble servant!"
"I never imagined you were so valiant!"
"If necessary, I am willing to die for you!"
In the dream, Li Lili clung to Cheng Xiaofan, murmuring incessantly.
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was almost dumbfounded.
This was just a dream.
It was a delusion of hers!
He never thought that in such a state, she could still perceive his valor.
Of course!
He was very clear in his heart.
This was merely her imagination.
Cheng Xiaofan gently pushed her off him.
He said, "Li Lili, stop endlessly. It's time to rest!"
In the dream, Li Lili immediately nodded.
Then!
Cheng Xiaofan used his spiritual energy.
While she was not fully conscious.
He wove a complete program into her memories.
Afterward, he withdrew from her dreamscape.
"Li Lili, don't sleep anymore, wake up!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan gently patted Li Lili a few times.
Li Lili immediately opened her beautiful eyes.
When she saw Cheng Xiaofan at first glance, her expression was still a little dazed.
She asked, "Mr. Cheng, have you gotten up already?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Yes, some things must come to an end. Don't you agree?"
Hearing this, Li Lili's face flushed with embarrassment.
She said, "I know, thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Li Lili, whose memories had been modified, took the events in the dream as reality.
Cheng Xiaofan said with a serious expression, "Li Lili, I came to the capital and received a call from your aunt saying you were ill."
"When I arrived here, I found that you were possessed by an evil spirit!"
"After I helped you expel the evil spirit, that's how this relationship between us came to be."
"You must remember, I am a very self-disciplined person."
"If I hadn't felt sorry for you, I would never have gotten involved with you in this way."
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your pity!" Li Lili said moved.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
It seemed the dream treatment method was quite effective.
He continued, "You must also remember that what happens between us must not be revealed to anyone, including your aunt!"
Li Lili said, "Mhm, I know!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked with a half-smile, "Do you know what you should do now?"
Li Lili immediately replied, "From now on, I will wholeheartedly assist my aunt in managing the company's affairs for you."
"I won't indulge in wishful thinking anymore!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, very good."
"As long as you and your aunt work hard, I will definitely not treat you poorly in the future!"
Li Lili nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Who knew at this moment.
She looked around the bed and asked with confusion, "Mr. Cheng, why can't I see my Peach Blossom Red?"
