Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Mingyue's words made Li Mu blush, and left Lu Ming and You Meiyu speechless.

"Don't talk nonsense, girl! What do you mean, ordered two takeouts?! I'm just giving someone acupuncture treatment!"

Li Mu's eyes widened as he explained to Mingyue.

He didn't expect the girl to come back so early today.

"Oh, oh, oh! Hehe! You've got the wrong idea! Sorry, ladies!"

Mingyue quickly grinned and raised her hand to apologize to Lu Ming and the other person.

After she finished speaking, she went to the bathroom.

"Mr. Li, the fees..."

"Didn't you say it? It's free! Go to the hospital for a check-up in three days. If it doesn't work, you probably won't come back to me. If it does work, come back and I'll continue treating you."

Lu Ming was about to ask how much the consultation fee was when Li Mu raised his hand to interrupt her.

Lu Ming and You Meiyu exchanged a surprised glance, realizing that this old Chinese medicine doctor really didn't charge a fee.

This further diminished their doubts about Li Mu.

"Okay, thank you!"

After thanking Li Mu, Lu Ming left with You Meiyu.

Watching Lu Ming's departing figure, Li Mu's mind was still filled with the image of her naturally beautiful face during her treatment.

Although he was unsure how effective a single acupuncture treatment would be for her illness, he believed the divination would surely resolve Miss Lu's predicament.

After Lu Ming and the other person left, Mingyue came out of the bathroom with a pained expression and a pale face.

"Girl, what's wrong? Do you have an upset stomach?"

Li Mu asked.

"I got my period, and my stomach hurts so much..."

Mingyue lay down on the sofa as she spoke.

"Why are you back so early today? Is it always this painful when you come?"

"Hmm, more or less. Ouch... By the way, Grandpa, your medical skills are so amazing, could you help me? Every time I get my period, it's like torture, it hurts so much! Why am I so unlucky to have been born a girl! Ouch..."

Mingyue clutched her stomach, looking like she was in great pain.

Give me your hand, let me take your pulse.

Li Mu first looked at Mingyue's lower abdomen and did not see any obvious signs of illness, indicating that the girl's menstrual cramps should not be too severe.

Then he took her pulse and found that it was indeed somewhat weak and hesitant.

"Your condition is caused by dampness and cold accumulating in the lower body, leading to meridian blockage. The pain is due to poor blood circulation after your period. It's not a serious problem; you can take medication to regulate it, or you can have acupuncture to unblock the meridians. Medication takes longer, while acupuncture is more effective. Which do you prefer?"

After taking Mingyue's pulse, Li Mu looked at her and asked.

"I don't like taking medicine, it's too bitter! Will it hurt when I get an injection?"

Mingyue asked.

"It doesn't hurt."

"Then I'll definitely choose acupuncture! Grandpa, hurry up and do it, it hurts so much!"

Mingyue said in a pleading tone.

"Um, the acupuncture points needed are Qihai and Guanyuan. Do you mind?"

Li Mu blinked and asked.

"Where are Qihai and Guanyuan?"

"Qihai is three inches below the navel, and Guanyuan is even lower. You're a girl, so I'm worried you might be shy."

"Tch, what's there to be shy about! As long as it doesn't hurt so much, I don't care if I'm naked! Besides, last time I was so scared by a giant cockroach that I ran out of the bathroom, you saw everything! I wasn't shy then! Grandpa, hurry up and treat me!"

Mingyue didn't care at all and shook Li Mu's arm, pleading.

"All right."

So, Li Mu had Mingyue lift up her shirt and pull down her waistband before starting to insert needles into her.

In fact, acupuncture is only an aid; the fundamental method is to rely on the primordial spiritual energy to instantly clear the blocked meridians.

It only took a dozen seconds to get it done, since Mingyue's problem wasn't very serious.

"Wow! Holy crap! That's amazing! It really doesn't hurt at all! Holy crap, Grandpa, your medical skills are truly incredible! You're absolutely awesome, Plas!"

When Li Mu finished administering the acupuncture, the effect was immediate, and Mingyue was pleasantly surprised and praised him repeatedly.

"Tsk, you little brat, why are you swearing again?"

Li Mu glared at Ming Yue.

"Hehe! I was just too excited and happy! Don't do it again, hehe! By the way, Grandpa, will it hurt again next time?"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt anymore. Of course, if you're not careful in your daily life, it might recur over time. Avoid cold and spicy foods, and try to wear crop tops as little as possible."

Li Mu gave him his heartfelt instructions.

"Grandpa, you're so good to me..."

To Li Mu's surprise, Mingyue suddenly burst into tears.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

"Grandpa, do you know? I've never had anyone who loved me since I was little. My father didn't care about me, and my wicked stepmother saw me as a thorn in her side, wishing she could kill me. No one cared about me or loved me. You are the first person in this world to be so kind to me. Grandpa..."

As Mingyue spoke, she hugged Li Mu tightly, burying her pretty face in his chest and sobbing softly.

Li Mu could sense the girl's grievances and the happiness she felt at that moment.

But being suddenly hugged by such a beautiful young woman, Li Mu also experienced a brief moment of reverie.

If it weren't for the fact that Mingyue was the reincarnation of the primordial spirit of the Heavenly Saint Venerable, Li Mu probably wouldn't have had those kinds of thoughts about this little girl.

It would be nice to treat her like a little granddaughter.

However, as a spiritual being, if Li Mu wanted to merge with her, there was one option: to marry her.

As for the other option, it is to make Mingyue submit to him.

Li Mu felt that this method was too illusory and unpredictable. How could a living person submit to him?

For him right now, getting married is a more concrete and realistic option.

But Mingyue is only 18 years old, while he is an old man; the age gap is simply too large.

Therefore, Li Mu felt that achieving fusion with Mingyue, this spiritual progenitor, was a long and arduous task.

He didn't know if he could do it in the next three years.

But at least for now, what he needs to do is to establish a stable and reliable relationship with this girl as much as possible.

Li Mu gently patted her back and said, "Girl, maybe we're destined to be together. Didn't you say you wanted to become my disciple? From today onwards, you'll call me Master, and I'll teach you kung fu, how about it?"

"Alright, alright! Hehe! Master, please accept my bow! Hehehe!"

Mingyue immediately stopped crying and started laughing. She quickly got up, knelt on the sofa, and kowtowed to Li Mu in a funny way to become his disciple.

"Hahaha!"

The little girl's appearance made Li Mu burst into laughter.

Just as the two were laughing, two burly men arrived at the entrance of the Wenxin Jiayuan residential community.

"Brother Ding, there's no mistake, it's this neighborhood! The surveillance footage shows that the young lady has been frequently entering and leaving this neighborhood in the past few days! She and that strange old man must live here."

One of the younger, muscular men said to the other middle-aged man.

These two men were the ones who captured Mingyue on Qianlong Mountain. The younger one was named Zhang Kai, and the middle-aged one was named Liu Jianding. They were both bodyguards for Mingyue's family.

In the past few days, by reviewing surveillance footage, they successfully located the residential area where Li Mu and Ming Yue lived.

"Once we've located the neighborhood where they live, things will be much easier. We'll just stand guard at the entrance; they'll come out sooner or later."

Liu Jianding took out a cigarette, lit it, and said.
