Empress, please lay down your armor, for I will save the world with a single sword!

About half an hour later, footsteps could be heard outside the private room.

The door was pushed open.

Shangguan Na walked in.

She was still dressed in men's clothing today, holding a folding fan in her hand, her eyes bright and her lips smiling.

He didn't look like someone who had just knocked his subordinate away at all.

It's more like they've come to a flower-viewing banquet.

Gui Jianchou followed behind her, his eyelids drooping, his withered body resembling an old tree branch.

But those cloudy eyes, when they swept over Wu Liang, were cold and indifferent.

Wu Liang, holding his wine glass, stood up with a smile.

"The princess has arrived."

Shangguan Na smiled gently, her red lips half-hidden behind her folding fan.

"Dr. Wu has quite the airs."

"I kindly hosted a banquet at Cuizhu Villa to thank you. The scenery is beautiful, with clear waters and lush bamboo groves. Even the food and wine were prepared in advance."

"As a result, that idiot Batel failed to get Dr. Wu to come."

As she spoke, she sighed softly, as if she genuinely felt a little regretful.

"It seems I waited in vain."

Wu Liang sneered inwardly.

Biden?

Are you just waiting to kill me for nothing?

A smile spread across his face.

"Your Highness is too kind."

"My life is worthless; I cannot enjoy the beauty of nature."

"It's still more reassuring in the city; there are more people, and it's more lively."

Shangguan Na's eyes flashed.

She understood.

It was crowded and lively.

It means that it's not convenient to take action in the city.

This fellow did indeed become suspicious.

However, Shangguan Na's smile remained unchanged, and she even looked more charming.

"Doctor Wu, are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Wu Liang glanced at her and laughed, "Your Highness is a beauty of unparalleled grace. If you really want to take advantage of me, I might as well comply."

Shangguan Na blushed slightly and spat softly.

"lecher."

Wu Liang continued, "I'm just worried that at some banquets, the guests will just disappear midway through the meal."

Shangguan Na closed her folding fan and gently tapped her palm.

"Dr. Wu thinks too badly of me."

"I'm so grateful to you for curing my illness, how could I possibly harm you?"

As she said this, her big eyes were watery, bright, and innocent.

If you didn't know the complexities in her heart, you could easily be fooled by her appearance.

Wu Liang clicked his tongue inwardly.

This little vixen is clever, charming, sweet-talking, and ruthless.

He sat down with a smile.

"The princess would never harm me."

"I'm just timid; I'm afraid of falling when I walk long distances."

Shangguan Na sat down opposite her with a smile.

"Is Dr. Wu timid?"

"How come I heard that you punched Battier so hard he vomited blood and flew through the air, breaking several of his ribs?"

Wu Liang looked completely innocent.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

"The Batel brothers' knife skills were so good that I got scared and my hand slipped."

Shangguan Na almost laughed out of anger.

Accidental slip of the hand?

You accidentally broke the ribs of a third-rank master?

Her fear of Wu Liang deepened even further.

This person is not only a highly skilled doctor, but also a silver tongue.

His martial arts skills were surprisingly good as well.

No, it's more than just not weak.

Although Batel wasn't considered top-tier by her side, he was still a genuine third-rank expert.

Being sent flying by Wu Liang's punch speaks volumes.

However, she didn't press the matter further, but instead smiled and poured Wu Liang a glass of wine.

"Alright, Batel was reckless and offended Doctor Wu. I'll punish him later."

"The most important thing today is to get treatment."

Wu Liang took the wine, but did not drink it.

He put down his wine glass and slowly took out his needle pouch.

"Treating the illness is naturally no problem."

"But this is the third time."

"After the needles are inserted, the princess's illness will be almost completely cured."

Shangguan Na's smile remained unchanged.

"I really have to thank Dr. Wu."

Wu Liang looked up at her.

"So before we go any further, shouldn't we double-check something?"

Shangguan Na blinked, as if puzzled.

"What is it?"

Wu Liang smiled.

"Does Your Highness have a bad memory?"

"I will cure your illness, and you must agree to three conditions."

"These were said by the princess herself."

Shangguan Na seemed to only then remember.

She said "Oh" and smiled brightly.

"Of course I remember."

"This princess's word is law. Does Doctor Wu think I'd renege on my promise?"

Wu Liang smiled and said, "That's not it."

"With a princess of such status, she would never be a despicable person who goes back on her word."

Shangguan Na sneered inwardly.

What conditions can a dead person make?

But her smile became even sweeter.

"Don't worry, Doctor Wu. As long as you cure me, I will keep my three promises!"

Both of them harbored their own ulterior motives, yet they both wore friendly smiles.

Acupuncture begins.

Ghost-Seeing-Sorrow retreated to the outside of the screen as usual.

With her back to Wu Liang, Shangguan Na unbuckled her belt and took off her clothes.

Although it wasn't the first time, a blush still crept onto her face.

This time, Wu Liang didn't say anything offensive.

He knew the atmosphere was different today.

The needles fell one by one.

The internal energy of the Longevity Technique slowly flowed into the silver needles.

The lingering cold energy within Shangguan Na's body was gradually dissipated and warmed.

This time, the effect was more thorough than the previous two times.

About half an hour later, Wu Liang put away the needles.

As the last silver needle left her body, Shangguan Na gently exhaled.

The cold, stagnant pain that had plagued her for years finally dissipated like snow meeting the spring sun.

And at that very moment—

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, for completing the "Daily Good Deed" and resolving Nana Ulantu Borjigin's dysmenorrhea and cold uterus.]

[Obtained the gold-tier entry: Divine Illumination Scripture]

[Effect: From the beginning of time, divine light arises spontaneously, its essence is inexhaustible, it can revive the dead, strengthen the foundation and nourish the source, and the one who achieves mastery is invincible.]

Wu Liang paused, his fingers moving slightly.

Then a huge wave of emotions surged within me.

The Divine Illumination Scripture!

It's actually the Divine Illumination Scripture!!

Judging from the effects described by the system, this is an internal martial arts technique that is extremely good at healing and has miraculous effects. This reminded him of a novel he had read before he transmigrated.

—A Deadly Secret!

The book contains a miraculous skill called the "Divine Illumination Scripture".

The core of it is healing, prolonging life, breaking restrictions, and protecting the body. Once mastered, one's internal energy is inexhaustible and one becomes the best in the world.

Its most amazing feature is that it can restore severed pulses and revive damaged skills!

In the book, Di Yun was framed by Wan Gui, suffered broken collarbones, severed tendons and bones, and serious injuries to his limbs. After being imprisoned, he hanged himself and died half an hour later.

Despite his dire state, Ding Dian used the Divine Illumination Scripture to pull Di Yun back from the brink of death. He then helped Di Yun reconnect his severed pulse and rejuvenate his bones. Before long, Di Yun was back to his normal, lively self.

This shows just how extraordinary the "Divine Illumination Scripture" is!

Reconnecting the broken pulse!

To restore the damaged skill!

Wu Liang immediately thought of Hei Jiu.

No.

It should be Mo Jiuyou!

This morning, Hei Jiu said that there is no way to reconnect severed meridians or restore lost skills.

Here it comes!

Here it is, isn't it?

Wu Liang was overjoyed.

If all I get is to keep Mo Jiuyou alive, then all I'll get is a foul-mouthed old servant.

But if it were possible to restore his severed meridians and recover his remaining skills...

Then he wouldn't be an old servant anymore.

That's the eighth best in the world!

That's the Demon Lord of Youdu!

That's a living, super powerful backer!

Wu Liang forced himself to suppress his laughter.

Stay calm.

Now is not the time to laugh.

Shangguan Na had already dressed and was facing away from him, fastening her belt.

She slowly turned around, her face still flushed from the acupuncture.

"Am I completely cured?"

Wu Liang snapped out of his daze and nodded.

"alright."

Shangguan Na's eyes brightened slightly.

"Will it never recur?"

Wu Liang's eyes flickered slightly.

When it comes to treating illnesses, you can't make promises you can't keep.

There has to be some room for after-sales service.

He smiled and said, "As long as the princess eats less cold food, avoids cold water, and prevents the cold from invading her body, the illness will not recur."

After listening, Shangguan Na nodded in satisfaction.

She looked up at the doorway, seemingly about to call for help.

Wu Liang suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"As a princess, she would certainly not be a shameless person who goes back on his word."

Shangguan Na paused.

She turned her head, her smile fading slightly.

"What does Dr. Wu mean by that?"

Wu Liang put away his needle pouch and said slowly, "I've thought of my first condition."
