Chapter 198 Three people in a room

In fact, ever since Yuan Caiwei pushed open the door to enter the courtyard today, Yan Shuyi has felt like a cat with its fur standing on end.

But she doesn't admit that she's jealous.

In her view, being jealous is something only petty women do. Such women only know about love and romance, and are happy when they gain something and sad when they lose something. Their joys and sorrows are all tied to men. They have no sense of the bigger picture and their perspective is extremely narrow.

Their entire lives are dedicated to marrying a good man and raising children.

She wasn't that kind of woman; she wouldn't be jealous. She just felt a little itchy because she hadn't poked anyone in a long time.

An ordinary-looking stranger, yet he's attracting all sorts of attention.

Not only were there fiancées all over the mountain, but there were also those who chased him all the way home from Danshan...

The four major acupoints are the abdomen, chest, back, and waist. Does that mean I have to take off my clothes?

Yan Shuyi felt that if she hadn't traveled to Shengjing, met this stranger by chance, and been invited to his home, she didn't know what would have happened tonight.

As the young appraiser pondered, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, then casually rubbed his lower abdomen before looking up at Yuan Caiwei.

Yuan Caiwei was looking down, lost in thought, and didn't notice, causing her delicate nose to wrinkle slightly.

Just then, a voice rang out, "Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner is ready!" which made Yan Shuyi subconsciously stand up and run to the porcelain basin to wash her hands...

This is a habit I've developed over the past two weeks of hibernation; it's almost become a conditioned reflex.

Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She had known Yan Shuyi for many years, and in her memory, the young master of Lingjian Mountain had always been serious and unsmiling.

Back then, Lingjian chose her, so she single-handedly supported Xuanjian Peak, using various means to navigate the covetous gaze of Tianjian Peak, her immortal demeanor proud and aloof, observing the world with indifference.

She had seen Yan Shuyi's condescending attitude, and she had seen Yan Shuyi's ethereal and otherworldly demeanor.

I had witnessed the arrogance she exuded when she first wore a crown and sat among the leaders of the seven major immortal sects at the Immortal Tour Gathering.

So even though she knew what was going on between Yan Shuyi and Ji You, she still couldn't imagine what it would be like for Yan Shuyi to like a man.

Even today, seeing her act jealous one moment and subconsciously obedient the next, I can't help but feel surprised.

Ji You went inside to get the wine and glanced at Yuan Caiwei: "Go wash your hands too."

"understood."

Yuan Caiwei obediently agreed, then got up and went to the porcelain basin, immersing her hands in the warm water, her expression slightly dazed.

After I said, "Go wash your hands too," she seemed to understand.

It turns out that women, regardless of their social status, subconsciously tend to listen to their husbands...

Even someone as dignified as the young appraiser possesses a gentle and adorable side that she only shows when facing her husband, a side that no one else can see.

"terrible."

"?"

At this moment, Yuan Chen stood in the corner of the wall where firewood was piled up, holding an axe. He looked at Ji You, who came out of the house, and slightly opened his mouth: "Is this what the older sisters are like after they fall in love?"

Ji You looked at him: "What do you know now?"

"I won't even mention Sister Xiaojian. I'm still a little afraid of her. But as soon as my brother-in-law spoke, she went to wash her hands. But on a normal day, who would dare to order her around? She's the next sect leader of Lingjian Mountain."

Yuan Chen then pointed to his older sister: "My older sister gives me the same feeling. She usually doesn't smile at me, but she's like a completely different person when she's with my brother-in-law."

From ancient times to the present, older sisters have always exerted a bloodline-based suppression on their younger brothers, especially after he became the direct disciple of the Dan Sect. As both an older sister and a teacher, she was naturally extremely serious on weekdays, and Yuan Chen once thought that his older sister was born this way.

Ji You couldn't help but grin at this moment: "I really am a femme fatale."

Yuan Chen turned to look at him: "Why would she be a source of trouble?"

"Don't let my calm demeanor fool you. I'm actually quite worried that I won't survive tonight."

Yuan Chen suddenly remembered the potatoes that had died tragically and couldn't help but hold his breath.

Ji You then brought all the dishes to the table and casually called the two women to come and eat.

A wise man is like this: he remains calm in the face of danger, because the more flustered he is, the more people will think he has something to hide. It's better to be open and honest.

If you want to keep going, you need to have this kind of mental fortitude.

My physique is indeed evolving towards that of a stud, attracting all sorts of women. If it's always like this, Yan Shuyi, that jealous person, will be so jealous she'll die of sourness.

“Young Master Ji, I just discussed with the appraiser’s sister about treating your arm.”

Ji You raised her eyes: "Arm?"

Yuan Caiwei put down her chopsticks and said softly, "I found an ancient prescription at home. With the help of techniques, it can help your arm recover better."

"Then what should we do?"

"Take off your shirt..."

Ji You suddenly recalled the scene of an aunt and niece practicing martial arts in the flower bushes, and thought to himself, "You Dan Sect really don't want me to live past tonight. It's okay if this technique isn't good."

However, after Yuan Caiwei explained the principle clearly, Ji You realized that doctors don't need to take their clothes off.

After dinner, night had slowly fallen.

The firewood crackled and popped in the stove, and a few sweet potatoes were slowly softening inside.

Yuan Chen sat by the stove in the main room, throwing firewood into the firebox while glancing erratically toward the west wing.

Meanwhile, Ji You sat in the side room, took the pill given to him by Yuan Caiwei, and then slowly took off his clothes, revealing his broad chest.

Yuan Caiwei and Yan Shuyi were right in front of him, watching intently.

The former bit her thin lips lightly, and couldn't help but recall that night at the Danshan Medicinal Pool, her mind filled with images of fiery passion.

The young appraiser, however, stared intently for a long time with a detached gaze and an expression of unwavering interest.

Some women have naturally expressive eyes that seem to speak volumes. Yan Shuyi is one of them, her eyes conveying the message, "This judge has seen it all." Yet, her cold face gradually turns red.

In fact, treating illness is a serious matter, and it is generally not something that can be observed by others; it can only exist between the doctor and the patient.

But ever since Ji You followed Yuan Caiwei into the west room, Yan Shuyi has often pushed the door open and entered with a blank expression.

The first time I came in, I took a cup, looked at it for a long time, and then walked out without paying much attention. A while later, I came in again, took a cushion, looked at it for a while, and then walked out without paying much attention.

Then came the bronze mirror, the quilt, the cotton mattress...

Ji worriedly said, "If you're not comfortable with this, then stay. There's no need to demolish my house." So he started inviting her again and again.

So the young appraiser reluctantly stayed and watched Yuan Caiwei's every move with great focus.

"Is Yuan Chen really incapable of any techniques?"

"Humans are physically weak, and if they are not careful when the elixir energy invades, it can cause irreversible damage. He has no experience, and I am afraid that he will hurt Young Master Ji."

After hearing this, the young appraiser turned around and asked, "Sister Caiwei has experience?"

Yuan Caiwei nodded gently: "After finding the ancient prescription, I have practiced it countless times at home."

"How to practice?"

"Practicing according to my imagination..."

Before the new era begins, the Dan Sect must deliver the promised pills to the other six major immortal sects in exchange for their protection for a whole year.

Therefore, the Dan Sect must have been extremely busy over the past month.

As a fifth-grade alchemist, Yuan Caiwei was naturally a key figure in the alchemy department of the Dan Sect. The only time she could find to practice this method amidst her heavy alchemy tasks was late at night.

Thinking of this, Yan Shuyi's heart stirred slightly.

Ji You also thought of this and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Caiwei.

The pills with re-adjusted dosages that she received when she was sent on a mission to the snowy region seemed to have been refined by her and Yuan Chen overnight.

Without those elixirs, having taken a direct hit from the King of Soldiers' punch, with the force penetrating his body, he might not have even made it to the Demon Emperor City.

There's also the seemingly arrogant but secretly caring little appraiser.

If she hadn't sent Yan Chuan to follow her, she might have been shot dead by the King of Soldiers from a distance with an arrow.

The Heavenly Sword Peak lineage has always coveted the ownership of Spirit Sword Mountain, and Yan Shuyi bears a heavy burden, constantly engaging in seclusion to break through his cultivation level.

However, due to establishing his own family and his mission to the snowy region, he repeatedly had to leave the pass midway.

Many people in the courtyard claim to have a "Dao Heart Clear Body," but now it seems I'm actually a "Pre-natal Soft Rice Saint Body"...

At this moment, as the drug took effect, Ji You was unable to move his limbs.

This is necessary for treatment, because while nourishing the meridians, the most crucial thing is not to use even a trace of spiritual energy, otherwise the elixir energy and spiritual energy will clash, which is extremely risky.

The only way is to use elixirs to sever the patient's control over their limbs, so as to ensure that spiritual energy does not flow through the meridians.

Then Yuan Caiwei leaned forward, and the energy in her hand began to enter Ji You's body, then stimulated the medicinal properties, gathering towards Ji You's hands, and her palms pressed against his chest.

Smooth and soft. But compared to the little appraiser's hand, it seems a bit cool.

Ji You has been kissing Xiao Jianzhu every day for the past few days, and Xiao Jianzhu has touched his chest quite often, pretending not to mean it.

At this moment, he began to use his divine sense to look inward, feeling the medicinal energy spreading continuously within his body, and then pushing the medicinal power to gather in his arms.

It felt very comfortable, like a massage, but Ji You frowned deeply, feigning pain.

Sure enough, some of the jealous critics became much more docile.

See? You can't be comfortable at times like this.

However, Ji You's expression puzzled Yuan Caiwei: "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, we can continue."

"Then I will continue."

"bring it on."

After Ji You finished speaking, she paused slightly, thinking to herself that it was backwards. This question of whether it hurt should have been asked by the scumbag to the woman beneath him.

At this moment, Yuan Caiwei glanced at Yan Shuyi out of the corner of her eye and suddenly realized that Ji You cared about Yan Shuyi's feelings. She couldn't help but tighten her grip, which actually made Ji You feel a pain.

Ji You paused for a moment, looked down, and saw that Yuan Caiwei suddenly had an innocent expression on her face.

Yan Shuyi frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak softly, "Be gentle. Although I don't know how to diagnose meridian problems, I imagine he must be in some pain."

"He's pretending."

"?"

"He was afraid that someone would mind, so he pretended to be in a lot of pain, hoping to make that person feel better. He was very thoughtful."

Yan Shuyi was slightly taken aback after hearing this, then squinted at Ji You.

After a while, Yuan Caiwei placed her hand on Ji You's back and then gently stroked down to Ji You's lower back: "This is the kidney area. Young Master Ji, you must hold your breath and be calm to avoid accidentally injuring it."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ji You and Yan Shuyi's expressions involuntarily turned serious.

At the same time, Yuan Caiwei's expression was also very serious. She bit her lip lightly, even more cautiously than when she touched her heart pulse before, as if she were afraid of melting it in her mouth or dropping it in her hand.

After a long time, as the elixir energy flowed into it, Ji You gradually felt a surge of heat in his arm, making the soreness that had been present in his arm even more pronounced...

But that's a good thing.

Because Feng Yang had told him that this was the feeling of his meridians being opened up.

"Did it work?"

"Hmm, I feel the soreness in my meridians has disappeared, but I still feel some blockage in my spiritual energy."

As Yuan Caiwei's medicinal energy dissipated from her body, the previous medicinal effects were also completely released.

Ji You gradually regained control of her limbs. At this moment, she sat up from the bed and exerted a little force in her arms, feeling a surge of spiritual energy rushing in front of her arms.

Yuan Caiwei placed her hand on his wrist and then on his palm: "The effect is good, but this is only the first time. It's just to lay the foundation for recovery. Two more times should be enough. But don't eat spicy, oily, or cold food recently. Wash your hands with warm water."

Ji You looked at the hand she held in her palm and couldn't help but think of the demon princess with a round bottom and a tail.

He was quite certain that taking a pulse didn't involve touching hands so intimately.

Ji You looked up at Yan Shuyi and found that she was listening attentively to the precautions Yuan Caiwei mentioned.

You guys are just taking advantage of Yan Shuyi's lack of medical knowledge.

As the three of them were talking, they came out of the side room and saw Yuan Chen sitting by the stove, covering his ears with both hands.

He heard something through the door, something about pain and being gentle, which sounded a bit inappropriate for children...

"Young Master Ji, we're leaving now. We'll come again tomorrow."

Yuan Caiwei looked out at the night view and turned to say something to Ji You.

Everyone in the Heavenly Academy knew that she had come to see Ji You, and if she stayed overnight, it would definitely damage her reputation.

Although she was not afraid of suffering losses and even hoped for them, she still held the identity of the Pill Sect.

In this respect, she is not as good as the young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain. He came here secretly and could keep it a secret even if he had a big, fat son.

Then Yuan Caiwei got up with her medicine box on her back and was seen off by Ji You. She and Yuan Chen then walked down the mountain path together.

"How did you feel when you were admitted to the hospital today, sister?"

"What...what feeling?"

Yuan Chen pursed his lips: "He tried to seduce his brother-in-law, but was caught by the young master appraiser..."

Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but stop and look at him seriously: "She's not married yet, why can't I?"

"But she looks like she's already married..."

"That's just what it looks like."

Yuan Caiwei was indeed flustered when she discovered Yan Shuyi in the courtyard.

In her view, even if two people develop feelings for each other, it doesn't mean anything; those who are meant to like each other should still like each other.

But living together is a different story. If something were to happen, she wouldn't feel comfortable openly competing with her sister for a man.

However, when they first met, Yuan Caiwei secretly used her inner energy once, and she knew that the appraiser's sister was still a virgin.

They've lived together for so long and haven't gotten pregnant yet, so it's still uncertain who will conceive first.

At this moment, in the inner chamber, Ji You, who had just seen the Yuan siblings off, turned back and saw Yan Shuyi standing in front of the stove, the fire hook burning red.

Ji You sat down next to him: "Shuyi, call him brother."

Yan Shuyi: "?"

“If you don’t call her name, Yuan Caiwei will.”

After a long while, a series of clanging and banging sounds came from the courtyard.

Ji You was kicked several times by the snow-white jade feet, but the little appraiser's fair and slender toes also had several teeth marks.

"Yuan Caiwei's hand, does it feel good?"

Ji You pulled the sweet potato out of the stove: "Wasn't it for treating an illness just now? How could it be described as so despicable?"

Yan Shuyi narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself that if she hadn't come to hibernate, it was hard to say whether tonight would have been a treatment.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at Ji You, her soft, bright eyes gazing at him for a long time before she gently leaned in, her red lips slightly parted...

The next morning, the morning light shone on Shengjing.

Yuan Caiwei woke up in the small courtyard, washed up, applied makeup, and then woke Yuan Chen.

Meanwhile, the disciple from the academy who had led them up the mountain yesterday came again, bringing Princess Chang Le's invitation for the second time.

However, just like yesterday, Yuan Caiwei still wanted to go to Ji You's place, so she politely declined.

The two then walked up the mountain, attracting the attention of many people along the way. They eventually arrived at Ji You's courtyard gate and knocked lightly a few times.

Yuan Chen was a little nervous at this moment, wondering if his brother-in-law was still breathing.

Then a series of footsteps sounded from the courtyard, the gate opened, and Ji You appeared from behind.

But to the surprise of the Yuan siblings, Ji You had a wound on her lip.

The wound was strange; it was located above and below the right corner of his mouth. It was very small, but it looked deep, and it had definitely bled.

"Young Master Ji's mouth...?"

"Oh, I ate too much hot and sour shredded potatoes last night, and I'm a bit overheated."

Ji You wiped the corner of her mouth and explained, trying to appear calm.

Yuan Caiwei looked at it carefully, and the more she looked, the more it seemed like a tooth mark. Her expression faltered slightly.

"Come in, I've cooked some porridge, let's have breakfast together."

Yuan Caiwei came to her senses: "Where is the appraiser's sister?"

"Some people like to sleep in late and haven't gotten up yet."

Ji You responded with a sound, because the words "love," "now," "lazy," "now," "still," and "up" all pulled his mouth, causing him great pain.

Yan Shuyi bit him with such force that he suspected she used spiritual energy.

Otherwise, given his physical strength, it would be very difficult to leave a wound.

Ji You led the two into the courtyard, then served them white porridge, placed it on a small table, and called out, "Wash your hands and eat."

At this moment, Yan Shuyi yawned and appeared at the door. Looking at the wound on Ji You's mouth, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
