Chapter 48 The Medicine Works Well
Hearing no movement outside, Xia Liu hurried out after handling the medicine vat.
He saw Huang Xue leaning back on the couch, a sight that should have been captivating, yet Xia Liu observed without emotion.
Fortunately, he noticed that she hadn't closed her eyes but was instead biting down hard on her teeth, her lips even faintly bleeding.
This showed how fiercely the fairy was enduring, clearly reflecting the pain the illness was causing her.
Sometimes, emotional wounds are far greater than physical pain; at this moment, Huang Xue's body had numbed, unable to feel any pain.
Upon noticing Xia Liu had come out, she weakly sat up and forced a faint smile.
The sunlight sprawled over her, her smile enchanting. Xia Liu was stunned. The terms beautiful and charming no longer suited her, only 'fairy' did!
Time silently ticked away, and as Huang Xue's pain almost vanished, Xia Liu, checking the time, asked her to sit properly, then he began to move his hands.
In the air, Xia Liu's palms turned into trailing shadows, and in an instant, he had completely removed ten silver needles.
As the last needle was pulled out, Huang Xue felt her entire body lighten, even experiencing a strange sensation that made her want to cry out. However, since Xia Liu was present, she dared not make a sound nor voice it out.
"Soak in the bathtub for an hour."
Obediently nodding, Huang Xue walked into the bathroom and screamed upon seeing the bathtub filled with a bright red liquid, "Ah! What is this?"
"It's all medicinal liquid. Your internal hormones have been regulated, but the exterior still needs treatment, otherwise shall I strip you down and apply it with my hands?" Xia Liu said, licking his lips and giving Huang Xue a meaningful look.
"No!" Huang Xue immediately refused Xia Liu without even thinking. This man had seen her naked and wasn't satisfied yet; he wanted to apply medicinal liquid. Why couldn't he turn into water and let many women bathe in him?
"What are you still doing standing there? Get out!" Seeing Xia Liu unmoved, Huang Xue sternly scolded him.
"Are you the doctor?" Xia Liu, unfazed, frowned and retorted.
...
After a long silence, Huang Xue slowly unbuttoned and removed her pants.
"Pfft!!" Xia Liu immediately turned away, what he saw, those twig-like pants, what the hell was that all about!
The world was too crazy, he couldn't believe that a fairy like Huang Xue would fancy such pants. Indeed, many people who appeared gentle and refined on the surface, their true nature revealed when they were alone.
Huang Xue, however, showed no reaction; after all, Xia Liu had already seen her nude, and now she was still wearing pants.
Thinking thus, she bit her teeth and slowly stepped into the bathtub.
The first sensation upon stepping into the bright red medicinal liquid was heat, but as she lay down, it felt no different from normal warm water.
However, her thought was too simplistic; in less than thirty seconds, the medicinal effect kicked in, and she unintentionally cried out in a sudden moment.
Realizing something was off, she tightly covered her mouth with both hands, a sensation she was all too familiar with, twice occurring today.
After hearing that noise, Xia Liu had already run out. The reason he was still there was to see if the medicine vat was effective, and it seemed to be working well!
But though the effect was there, Xia Liu was suffering; his little buddy was tormented beyond recognition, and the Five Elements Mantra was almost unable to suppress it.
Luckily, he had managed to escape to the sofa in time. When the time came, he would notify the Fairy, and then the task would be complete.
Although he wanted to rest, Huang Xue did not give him the chance. Perhaps because of the medicinal effects, the sounds coming from the partition grew louder and more frequent. Ten minutes later, there were constant sounds.
Xia Liu felt like crying; it was like being tied up and then forced to watch those films from the Island Nation back to back.
If anyone had experienced this, they could empathize with Xia Liu's torment—it was like thousands of insects crawling over his body, and he couldn't make any movements.
Xia Liu sat down at his desk, rummaging through boxes wanting to find some cotton or something, to block his ears and reduce the frequency of the sounds he heard.
But as he was searching through the box, his eyes glanced over the computer screen, and his brows knitted together again.
Perhaps it was not a computer screen, but a surveillance monitor after all.
He saw a delicate figure at the office door, carrying a high-end handbag and wearing high heels, leaning close with her ear pressed against the door.
That figure was not unfamiliar to Xia Liu; it was Fang Fei, the owner of several companies, standing at the office door eavesdropping on the sounds inside!
Xia Liu sensed trouble. If she came in, she was bound to misunderstand his and Huang Xue's relationship.
Although it was nothing serious, what he feared the most was that Fang Fei would constantly tease him about it.
What slightly relieved Xia Liu was that Huang Xue's voice finally stopped. Unfortunately, the brief pause was futile; Sister Fang at the door had already heard everything.
Then, in Xia Liu's frantic moment, she opened the door and entered.
"Uh, uh, uh, why is it you, Xia Liu?" Fang Fei looked at Xia Liu in surprise; she had thought it was Huang Xue and her boyfriend inside—who knew it turned out to be Xia Liu, and he was straightening his clothes and hair!
"Hey, it's Sister Fang! What a coincidence." Xia Liu rose very swiftly, his expression revealing no slips.
Well, he actually hadn't done anything wrong, so he certainly felt confident.
"Hehe, yes, quite the coincidence, huh? Where's Huang Xue? Weren't you just with her?" Fang Fei examined Xia Liu for a while, then looked around, trying to find where Huang Xue was.
"I really don't know, there was a call for her, and then I saw her slam the door and storm out, so I've been waiting here for her," Xia Liu said with an innocent face.
"Young man, are you playing dumb with me? I clearly heard those kinds of sounds at the office door; you dare say it wasn't you and Huang Xue in a secret rendezvous?" Fang Fei gave Xia Liu a rolling eye, while a charming smile surfaced on her face.
"Sister Fang, honestly, there was really nothing like that. You mustn't misunderstand me; those sounds you heard, were they like this?" Xia Liu said, moving his hand to the mouse and expertly opening the F drive, which contained a folder downloaded with many small Island Nation films, which he had stumbled upon earlier. He then played one.
The hair-raising moans blared out from the speakers; Fang Fei's face instantly flushed, and if that was really the case, she might have misunderstood Xia Liu.
But just then, an angry voice came from the partition: "Xia Liu, are you coming in or not? I'm about to die from the heat…"
