With Zi Linling's medical skills, how could she not see that Ye Lingyuan was suppressing some feeling?
Ye Lingyuan was startled, feeling a certain part of his body becoming even more unbearable.
But he was not a beast, and had no impulse to act on a twelve-year-old girl.
However, Zi Linling didn't care about that.
In the past, she was too thin-skinned and had been bullied by Ye Lingyuan quite a bit.
Therefore, she came to a conclusion: when alone with a certain prince, one must have a thick enough skin.
So, seizing the moment of Ye Lingyuan's stunned silence, she proactively offered her lips.
"Boom!"
Ye Lingyuan's brain was engorged with blood, and he wickedly said, "Lin'er, you are playing with fire!"
Zi Linling did not speak, but answered him with her actions.
As their lips touched, a numb sensation spread again.
Ye Lingyuan's entire body was flushed.
Although the feeling was wonderful, it made him suffer immensely.
He bit Zi Linling fiercely for a moment, then fled in disarray.
The torment of not being able to act in the face of beauty can only be understood by experiencing it.
Zi Linling looked at the retreating back of the prince, a triumphant smile appearing on her face.
Ye Lingyuan fled out of the room, at an extremely fast speed, out of Dongfang City, and jumped into a river.
The cold river water slowly calmed the desires that were rising in his heart.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Lin'er, you are truly heartless, adding fuel to the fire! It seems that after you come of age, this prince will have to keep you by his side."
Thinking of Zi Linling's mischievous demeanor, Ye Lingyuan felt the fire within him surge again.
He had no choice but to dive underwater again, letting the cold river water completely submerge him.
Meanwhile, Zi Linling, who had caused Ye Lingyuan to take a cold shower, was now leisurely picking up the dragon's beard grass and seven-colored lotus heart by the bed and entering the Goddess Hall.
Anyway, with Ye Lingyuan's barrier outside, she didn't have to worry about being discovered.
Because those with less cultivation than Ye Lingyuan could not break in at all.
After a short period of time, Zi Linling emerged from the Goddess Hall.
In her hand was a porcelain bottle, containing the medicinal liquid she had refined using dragon's beard grass and seven-colored lotus heart with Bodhi juice.
Then, she took out two empty porcelain bottles, one containing a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the other a Body Tempering Pill.
Carrying the three porcelain bottles, Zi Linling went to Shen Liuxing's room.
Shen Liuxing had already woken up. His blood-stained shirt had been changed, and he was wearing only a white inner garment.
Shen Wenqing was sitting beside him, looking at him affectionately as he drank a large bowl of spiritual porridge.
"Liuxing, how are you feeling now? Is there still any discomfort?"
Shen Wenqing asked after Shen Liuxing finished his porridge.
Shen Liuxing shook his head and said, "Father, I'm fine. I can feel my heart beating strongly, and there's no stinging sensation in the surrounding meridians, just like when I was just born." Su Dan Novel Network
"Really?" Shen Wenqing's face was full of joy.
Shen Liuxing nodded and continued, "Yes! Not only that, but I also feel a trace of spiritual energy circulating in my body. Although it's very weak, it's slowly growing stronger."
Shen Wenqing laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! Liuxing, you can finally cultivate again! The medical skills of the Patriarch of the Zi family are indeed divine, reaching a level that would shock gods and ghosts!"
Patriarch Zi?
Could it be...
Thinking of the figure he had been thinking about day and night, Shen Liuxing became excited.
Just as he was about to confirm with Shen Wenqing, he heard a familiar voice, "Patriarch Shen flatters me!"
As the voice fell, Zi Linling also elegantly walked in.
She first placed the medicinal liquid and pills in her hand on the table and said to Shen Wenqing, "Patriarch Shen, please have someone fetch a basin of hot water."
Shen Wenqing nodded and went out to give instructions.
Zi Linling then looked at Shen Liuxing and smiled, "Young Master Shen, it's been a while!"
Shen Liuxing's lips quivered continuously, and after a long pause, he finally uttered that long-lost address with a trembling voice.
"Sister Zi!"
"It's been a while!"
Zi Linling smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that after parting last time, we would nearly be separated by yin and yang upon meeting again!"
The last time she referred to was naturally the Nine Absolute Peaks of Duanhun Cliff.
"Thanks to Sister Zi's miraculous recovery, I managed to escape death. Speaking of which, this is the second time Sister has saved me. Please accept my bow!"
As Shen Liuxing spoke, he tried to get out of bed, but due to lying down for a long time, his legs were a bit weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zi Linling was quick to react, grabbed him, and pushed him back onto the bed, saying with a cold face, "What? Have you had enough of living? Do you know how much effort I put into saving you? Do you think my time and energy are worthless, so you don't cherish the life I saved?"
Shen Liuxing quickly explained, "Sister, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to thank Sister for saving my life."
Zi Linling said impatiently, "Who asked you to thank me? As long as you take good care of your body and cherish my hard work, that's the greatest thanks you can give me! I don't want my 'Ghost Hand Poison Doctor' signboard to be ruined by you!"
Shen Liuxing: "..."
Although Zi Linling's words were biting, a sense of closeness and warmth surfaced in Shen Liuxing's heart.
That feeling was as if he had returned to Tianqi Kingdom, to their first meeting on East Street, and to their second meeting at the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce.
"Sister Zi, are you still angry with me?"
Shen Liuxing looked at Zi Linling with pleading eyes and asked.
He could not forget the distant look in Zi Linling's eyes at the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce in Tianqi Kingdom.
This was also why, after Zi Linling wanted to treat him but was rejected by Ji Ran, he never looked for Zi Linling again.
Because he was ashamed.
He had hurt Sister Zi's heart for Ji Ran, and Ji Ran had hurt Sister Zi's heart again for him.
Therefore, even though he had great ambition and wanted to win Zi Linling over, he had no face to do so.
He didn't even dare to show his face to Zi Linling when he went to Duanhun Cliff.
Because at that time, he had already decided to silently watch and silently protect her.
But how could he know that Zi Linling had discovered him long ago!
Zi Linling paused slightly and smiled, "It's all in the past! You have your way of doing things, and I have my principles. There's no such thing as being angry."
A flicker of sadness crossed Shen Liuxing's eyes, "I'm sorry! I only found out later about Uncle Ji refusing you, but I..."
Zi Linling interrupted him before he could finish, "Let the past be the past, no need to mention it again!"
Shen Liuxing: "..."
His heart felt bitter, knowing that no matter what he said, it would be useless.
An awkward atmosphere filled the room.
A moment later, Shen Wenqing arrived, with four servants behind him.
The servants placed the bathtub and hot water down, then wisely withdrew.
