The attending doctor hadn't arrived yet.
Lin Qingxuan felt she really couldn't go on much longer. Whether it worked or not, it was worth a try. It's all up to fate now!
Of course, more importantly, this man seemed to hold a fatal attraction for her. It wasn't his looks or his physique. It was that strange aura. How strange. Why is this happening?
"Miss, you are of noble birth! How can you let this charlatan touch you? Absolutely not!" Assistant Qin's stance was resolute.
Lin Qingxuan was a little angry. It was true she was a lady of wealth and couldn't take risks, but the situation was urgent, leaving her no time to overthink it. If I don't treat it, am I supposed to just wait here and die?
"Let him try!" Lin Qingxuan's voice was icy, even more so than the Cold Poison in her body.
Assistant Qin shivered. When the young miss was angry, she was truly terrifying. Helpless, she looked at Yang Qi and said coldly, "Do you know the consequences of recklessly touching our young miss?"
"At worst, death!" Yang Qi replied urgently.
After all, this was a woman he had become involved with. With his character, standing by and watching her die was impossible. Besides, he had some confidence, as he already had a general grasp of the girl's condition.
"And what if you can't cure her?" Assistant Qin said coldly. "I am the miss's assistant; naturally, I must be responsible for her. The miss has an Extreme Yin Body. For years, besides that one expert, no one has been able to alleviate even the slightest bit of her pain. And you, a charlatan from the medical world, think you can cure her?"
"If I can't, I am willing to chop off both my hands!" Yang Qi declared coldly.
Assistant Qin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Yang Qi to be so confident.
"Fine. Since you've said so, and the miss has agreed, I will let you treat her. But if you can't cure her, or if your treatment has no effect, you won't be needing those arms anymore!" Assistant Qin said frigidly.
"No problem!"
Yang Qi was very confident in himself, and even more so in the Dragon God Technique. He had already tried it, after all; it had easily healed his own severe injuries. The Extreme Yin Cold Poison within Lin Qingxuan's body had already been pierced by his Pure Yang Qi. All he needed to do now was guide the Spiritual Energy a little.
"Alright, go on then. Surround this area. The moment this boy's treatment proves ineffective, seize him!" Assistant Qin ordered the bodyguards.
Yang Qi ignored them. Instead, he approached Lin Qingxuan and said softly, "I know you don't believe me either, but that's alright. Just relax your body now and don't resist. I will definitely help you!"
Subconsciously, Lin Qingxuan found herself obeying him. There was something about his words she found irresistible.
Yang Qi took a deep breath and grabbed Lin Qingxuan's hand.
"You insolent whelp!" Assistant Qin shouted instinctively.
Lin Qingxuan was a fairy from the heavens, a goddess on earth. How could she be defiled by a charlatan? Several bodyguards also released a terrifying killing intent.
"Shut up! If I don't touch her, how am I supposed to treat her?" Yang Qi retorted sharply.
Assistant Qin was taken aback. This kid has quite a temper. Then again, it's not surprising for a former CEO. She bit her tongue. Thinking about it, he had a point. If he couldn't even touch her, how could he possibly administer treatment?
To be honest, Yang Qi was deeply moved by Lin Qingxuan's beauty. Grasping those fair, jade-like hands... if they weren't so incredibly cold, he felt he might not have been able to keep his composure.
A wisp of energy flowed from his palm into Lin Qingxuan's body. Yang Qi felt his mind begin to wander.
In fact, it wasn't just him. Lin Qingxuan's heart was in even greater turmoil. In an instant, her thoughts flew to what had happened the previous night, and her entire body flushed with heat. Had she really just randomly picked up a beggar, or had she actually stumbled upon her fated one? Lin Qingxuan found the idea absurd, yet the strange feeling was crystal clear.
"It's not enough!" With his other hand, Yang Qi suddenly removed one of Lin Qingxuan's shoes and grasped her pale, jade-like foot. Infusing Spiritual Energy from her hand and foot simultaneously would be faster.
Assistant Qin and the others were dumbfounded. How dare he! He was simply courting death! If Lin Qingxuan hadn't remained silent, they would have rushed forward to tear him into a thousand pieces.
Yang Qi took a deep breath to calm himself. Such a beauty made it truly difficult to maintain control. Fortunately, he could now be considered a fledgling cultivator and was just about able to steady his mind.
The reason Lin Qingxuan didn't resist was because she could feel it. A warm current was flowing in from her hand and foot, bringing a bit of warmth to her frigid body. It felt much more comfortable, like stepping into a heated room on a freezing day.
However, the strange sensation in her heart only grew stronger. She even felt an urge to have this man hold onto her forever. This is so embarrassing! Her face couldn't help but turn red.
Time ticked by, minute by minute. Beads of sweat dripped from Yang Qi's forehead. In the end, his Cultivation was too shallow and his Spiritual Energy too scarce. If not for the aid of his Pure Yang Body, he likely wouldn't have been able to hold on.
A full half-hour passed. Lin Qingxuan's sensations began to change. She started to feel ill and began to cough violently. It felt as if something was waging war inside her body, causing her unbearable pain.
Yang Qi stopped the treatment, letting out a long breath. The frost on Lin Qingxuan's body still hadn't cleared; in fact, her condition seemed even more severe than before as the frost continued to spread. Not only that, but she even coughed up blood, though the blood itself was a strange, dark brown color.
So be it. Perhaps this is just my destiny. To struggle against its shackles only to pay the price with my life... hah! Lin Qingxuan thought in anguish, mocking herself.
"Get out of the way!" Assistant Qin shoved Yang Qi aside, incandescent with rage. "Look what you've done! Not only did you fail to cure our young miss, but you also made her condition even worse!"
Two of the bodyguards immediately pinned Yang Qi down, awaiting the order for his punishment. He had not only defiled the Fairy in their hearts but had also worsened her condition. This offense filled them with furious hatred.
"Don't panic," Yang Qi said. "The treatment just ended. This is a normal reaction. She'll be fine in about five minutes."
"You're still spouting nonsense?!" Assistant Qin was on the verge of madness. How could she have let this charlatan touch her miss? If anything happened to the young miss, she would be to blame even in death.
"What's the harm in waiting five more minutes?" Yang Qi asked, looking at Assistant Qin with a clear gaze.
In truth, he was just as nervous. This was, after all, his first time treating someone according to the Dragon God Technique. Deep down, he wasn't entirely confident. Fortunately, his years of clinical experience told him that it should have an effect.
"Fine! I'll give you five minutes!" Assistant Qin had no other choice. The attending doctor was still more than ten minutes away, and they couldn't touch the young miss themselves right now. Since they had to wait anyway, what if a miracle occurred? It wasn't that she had any great expectations of Yang Qi; she just desperately prayed that nothing would happen to her young miss.
