Fairy, you call this repaying a debt of gratitude?

Chapter 126 Deliberately Ingratiating

Close your eyes?

Xia Qianxue began to have doubts and looked at Shen Wei with some suspicion.

After experiencing so much, her ability to detect malice has reached an extremely keen level.

But she couldn't see anything different in the boy's clean and sincere eyes. After thinking it over, she finally closed her eyes obediently.

Shen Wei didn't have any particular reason for telling her to close her eyes; he simply felt that when a person closes their eyes, their hearing,

His sense of touch would become exponentially more acute. He needed to use this to amplify Xia Qianxue's perception so that she could clearly perceive the changes in her meridians, and only then could he make her completely believe that he truly had the means to cure her.

Indeed, after Xia Qianxue closed her eyes, the pattering rain outside the window and the steady breathing of the man in front of her became exceptionally clear.

Seeing that Xia Qianxue obediently closed her eyes, Shen Wei did not hesitate any longer. He gently stroked her slender, fair wrist, and then slowly approached and touched the strange light purple pattern on her forearm.

The cool touch clung to her skin and moved upwards, bringing a slight tingling and itchy sensation. Xia Qianxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she felt inexplicably itchy and restless, and she couldn't help but want to open her eyes.

"Don't move—Senior Sister."

These words actually calmed her unsettled heart.

"————Okay, I'll listen to my junior brother."

Despite the obedient response, Xia Qianxue sneered inwardly. "You're putting on quite a show. If it doesn't work at all, let's see how you save face."

Shen Wei's fingertips slowly traced the lines of her skin, his movements serious and meticulous, as if he were preparing to heal Xia Qianxue.

However, in reality, this was just a performance for Xia Qianxue.

If he so desired, he could instantly use the Evil Dragon Fiend to completely devour the demonic energy that had been entrenched in her meridians for many years, thus curing her ailment.

However, this was not only too abnormal, but Shen Wei also did not really want to cure her; he only regarded it as a means to control her.

If he could completely cure her illness, he would lose all his usefulness and might soon be abandoned by her, who was full of deep thoughts.

After putting on a show for a while, Shen Wei felt the time was right, so he said, "Senior sister, you might feel something strange next, please bear with it for a moment."

A strange feeling?

Xia Qianxue secretly felt something was wrong. She suddenly felt that there was something strange about this seemingly docile and easy-to-bully junior brother in front of her.

She opened her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "How about we forget it? The demonic energy within me is extremely fierce. I'm worried that since my cultivation isn't deep enough, my junior brother might be harmed by the demonic energy, worsening my condition and hurting you."

"Please trust me, senior sister. You can try it first. If you feel uncomfortable in the middle, you can stop at any time."

Looking into the man's sincere eyes, Xia Qianxue finally chose to believe him.

Surely no one can be better at pretending than her?

"Alright, I believe you, junior brother."

After saying that, she closed her eyes again, letting Shen Wei do whatever he wanted to her.

Shen Wei placed his right hand close to the lines on her arm and began to use the devouring ability of the Evil Dragon.

Just as he said, a strange feeling suddenly came over me, but this feeling was neither pain nor pleasure, but something in between, both strange and comfortable, making me subconsciously unwilling to resist it.

She silently frowned, silently enduring the feeling without interrupting.

As the evil dragon slowly devoured the demonic energy, she could clearly sense that her meridians, which had been tainted by demonic energy for many years and could no longer circulate spiritual energy, had become completely unobstructed again.

She also experienced the feeling of spiritual energy flowing through her body for the first time in a long time, a feeling that almost brought her to tears of joy.

"Alright, senior sister—you can open your eyes now."

Xia Qianxue opened her eyes and immediately looked at the light purple mark on her arm. Upon closer inspection, she found that the color had indeed faded considerably.

"It really is possible—"

She murmured to herself, then she raised her head, just about to say something to Shen Wei, but found that the boy in front of her was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his body was swaying slightly, looking extremely weak and exhausted.

At that moment, Xia Qianxue felt a genuine sense of worry and quickly asked, "Junior brother, are you alright?"

The person in front of her was currently the most promising person to cure her illness, and she absolutely could not allow anything to happen to him.

Shen Wei shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, and forced a smile: "It's alright, Senior Sister. The secret technique I just used was something I obtained by chance in a certain secret realm. It can purify demonic energy. When I heard you describe your illness, I wondered if it would be helpful to you. I didn't expect it to actually work."

"However, this secret technique consumed too much of my spiritual energy, which is why I am somewhat weak, and it can only purify a portion of the demonic energy."

I think it will probably take several more treatments to fully cure my senior sister.

"It's alright, junior brother. I'm almost used to this illness, so there's no rush. But you, please don't overexert your spiritual energy for my sake. Don't push yourself. I don't want to see you injured."

At this point, Xia Qianxue once again revealed a kind and understanding smile.

Looking at Xia Qianxue's smile, Shen Wei turned his head away somewhat embarrassed, but his words were quite straightforward: "As long as I can cure Senior Sister, none of this matters to me. I don't want someone as near-perfect as Senior Sister to be trapped in this small courtyard for the rest of her life, unable to do anything. I believe that a brighter future awaits Senior Sister."

Xia Qianxue's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

What he said was true. Although he seemed a bit dazed, he didn't seem as annoying as before.

"Well, Senior Sister, I see the rain outside has stopped, so I'll go back first. My spiritual energy is severely depleted. I'll come back to continue treating you after I've rested for a while."

Before Xia Qianxue could say anything polite to persuade him to stay, Shen Wei waved to her lightly, then said something with a hint of haste and embarrassment.

With quick steps, he left the palace.

She's quite easily embarrassed.

Xia Qianxue couldn't help but smile as she watched his retreating figure. Then, she silently looked away, raised her wrist, and examined it closely. The lines on her wrist had indeed faded considerably.

very nice.

In an instant, the smile on Xia Qianxue's face vanished, leaving only a playful expression.

Unexpectedly, prey actually came to us of its own accord.

It's still the one that suits my taste best and is the easiest to control.

So—Fate, are you trying to please me because you're afraid of me?

----hehe.

A chilling laugh echoed through the small house.

"Yunyue Peak, Shen Wei————"

"I'll remember you."
