However, neither Chen Yuze, Chi Lian, nor Yuan Bao noticed that Ruyi's ears had just twitched sharply.
And then, Ruyi pretended to walk up to Chen Yuze and gently rubbed his slender waist with both hands:
"I don't know if it's because of the wrong sleeping position I've been in these past few days, but my lower back always feels sore."
As she said this, Ruyi's eyes also glanced at Chen Yuze, intentionally or unintentionally.
It's as if it's implying to Chen Yuze—the opportunity is here, whether you can seize it or not depends entirely on your performance next.
As expected, Chen Yuze ignored Ruyi's suggestive gaze.
However, as a veterinarian, Chen Yuze still managed to keenly grasp the key point in Ruyi's words—lower back pain.
So he immediately rubbed his hands together and tentatively asked:
"I recently learned a new bone-setting technique. If you don't mind, Ruyi, how about I set your bones for you?"
"Oh?" Although she had already overheard Chen Yuze's mutterings with her super-hearing ears, Ruyi still showed a surprised expression:
"What a coincidence! Chen Yuze, you wouldn't be doing this on purpose just to curry favor with me, would you?"
Is that how you put it?
“If you insist on thinking that way, then there’s nothing I can do.” Chen Yuze shrugged with a wry smile, but still started moving his hands: “However, you should be able to tell if this bone-setting technique is something I just learned by trying it.”
"Hmph, since you've put it that way, if I still doubt you, it would make me seem petty." Watching Chen Yuze fall into her trap step by step, Ruyi was secretly pleased, but on the surface, she maintained a calm and collected demeanor.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
“Well, the bone-setting techniques I learned are all based on the human body's structure. So maintaining the original shape is definitely not an option.” Chen Yuze stroked his chin, then pointed to the consultation room on the first floor of the building:
"Ruyi, just like when I did the cupping before, lie face down on the bed in the examination room and lift up your shirt. Since it's lower back pain, we need to do some chiropractic on your lower back. Also, I noticed that you tend to twist your body quite a bit when you walk, so you might have some issues with your pelvis as well."
"???"
Seeing Chen Yuze's eloquent and logical analysis of the pathology, Ruyi felt an urge to punch him in the nose.
So what if I sway a lot when I walk? Why don't you use your tiny brain, which is smaller than my fingernail, to think carefully about who I'm swaying so hard for?
Of course, as a spirited Devouring Yin Python, Ruyi would never say these words in front of Chen Yuze.
However, considering that Chen Yuze wasn't completely stupid this time, Ruyi chose to forgive him.
Thus, amidst the expressions of Chi Lian and Yuan Bao that seemed to say, "You with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could you betray the revolution?", Ruyi was led into the consultation room by Chen Yuze.
And not long after, some noises that were easy to misunderstand came from the consultation room.
Of course, Chen Yuze may never know that Ruyi might have deliberately shouted it out for her two rivals outside to hear.
After all, in Chen Yuze's view, bone setting is not as comfortable as massage, so it is normal for the girl to cry out in pain.
Although the voice might have sounded somewhat sentimental, as a veterinarian, Chen Yuze was completely focused on the bone setting and was not disturbed by any external forces.
Even after setting Ruyi's bones, Chen Yuze entered her spiritual sea and used the bone-setting technique to remove the fourth bloodline restriction in Ruyi's body.
After absorbing the fourth green gourd essence, Ruyi successfully obtained the special supernatural power of 'Mastery of Fire, Blazing Yang Flame'.
So, it wasn't until two hours later that Ruyi finally emerged from the consultation room, looking refreshed.
Seeing her arrogant and haughty demeanor, Yuanbao couldn't help but want to rush up and grab her hair to have a good fight with her.
Compared to Yuanbao, Chilian was clearly much more pragmatic.
She took two steps forward, then suddenly collapsed at the doorway of the examination room, sobbing, "Sir, my tailbone has been hurting terribly lately. It seems like there's something wrong with my coccyx. Could you please take a look at it too? Waaah~"
"Ok?"
To be honest, after setting Ruyi's bones, Chen Yuze actually planned to stop.
But seeing Chi Lian's suffering from illness, Chen Yuze, whether as a veterinarian or as a 'master', could not stand idly by.
She helped Chi Lian up from her seat on the floor and then carried her to the bed in the examination room.
"Ahem, the position of your tailbone is a little awkward. But don't worry, Chi Lian, as a veterinarian, I would never take advantage of you during your examination!"
Meanwhile, in the courtyard outside the house.
Suddenly, Yuanbao unfurled her golden wings and, gritting her teeth, slapped them hard.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Ruyi and Chilian both had their bones set by Brother Yuze, so Yuanbao certainly couldn't fall behind.
but……
"Yuanbao, how could you really be so willing to hurt yourself like that? Couldn't you just pretend and get away with it? Chen Yuze wouldn't be able to tell anyway, would he?"
"???"
Looking at his wings, which were already broken and deformed, Yuanbao typed out a string of question marks.
116. Red Acacia
Tushan, beneath the acacia trees.
Tu Shan Mei Xi, the Empress of Tu Shan, was frowning as she fiddled with the red thread hanging from the tree branch.
As one of the two most renowned fox clans in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Tushan fox demons are not only born with a symbiotic talent that clashes with the Qingqiu fox demons' attributes—the Heaven-Burning Karmic Fire—but their vibrant red fur also forms a striking contrast with the Tushan fox demons' elegant white fur.
Besides being in charge of karmic fire, most of the Tushan Red Foxes also have another popular profession among monsters—matchmakers.
Thanks to the acacia red trees that grow on the top of Tushan Mountain, the Tushan red foxes are born with the unique ability to sense the marriage prospects of others.
Of course, in order to maintain the purity of the demon beast bloodline, unless there are special circumstances, Tushan Red Fox will generally not cross races or arbitrarily match people up when she is trying to set them up.
This is why matchmakers from Tushan are so popular among the monsters.
And as
Tu Shan Mei Xi, the empress of the Tu Shan clan, not only possesses profound cultivation and a stronger ability to perceive marriage, but she can even deduce the marriage status of others through the red thread on the Acacia Red Tree.
However, as the busy Empress Tushan, Tushan Meixi wouldn't spend her time speculating about other people's marriages or pondering gossip.
Even the reason she appeared under the acacia tree today was ultimately for another woman.
Ever since she suffered a major setback at Bai Hua's place in Qingqiu, Mo Xi has been looking sullen and unhappy ever since she returned to Tushan.
She simply couldn't understand why Bai Hua, who should have been on par with her in terms of both cultivation and talent, had suddenly made such a great breakthrough in such a short period of time.
It can be said that this problem has been troubling Moxi ever since she returned from Qingqiu.
Until yesterday, when Moxi went to the forbidden area of Tushan with her questions and consulted the former empresses who had long since retired, she finally got some clues.
Several former empresses told Moxi in unison that if a woman undergoes a drastic change overnight, there are only two possible reasons.
1. I'm in a relationship
II. The relationship fell apart.
Clearly, Moxi did not think that Baihua belonged to the second category.
After all, they've both been single for over a thousand years, and there's simply no one to ruin a relationship with.
Then the question comes-
What kind of man could win the favor of the Queen of Qingqiu?
How did he manage to bring about such a dramatic change in Bai Hua in such a short period of time?
If I start comparing men to Bai Hua in the future, will I be able to find a better partner? At the very least, I should be like Bai Hua, right?
Leaving aside the third question for now, it must be admitted that ever since it was confirmed that Bai Hua was in a relationship, Mo happy had developed a very strong interest in Bai Hua's partner.
And indeed, under the acacia tree, Meixi sensed the presence of the white painting subject by following the red rope.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Moxi injects a little more demonic power, she can obtain the basic information of the object of the painting from the Acacia Red Tree.
But this time, the information that the acacia mangrove gave to Bai Hua was exceptionally abstract.
hiss--
This son is so lucky for his wife, it's truly terrifying!
"..."
Moxi was completely baffled by this information.
Brother Shu, can't we be a little more reliable?
Unconvinced, Moxi once again infused the red thread drawn on the white paper with demonic power.
However, this time, after her demonic power found its target along the red line drawn by Bai Hua, it did not stop. Instead, using Bai Hua's target as a transit point, it continued to extend to another red line.
"Playing both sides!?"
Her eyes lit up, and Moxi immediately showed an excited expression, as if she knew there was some juicy gossip to be had.
Hilarious! Bai Hua, I never imagined that after being single your whole life, the first man you found would be such a womanizer.
My dear sister even considered you a formidable rival. It seems you're nothing more than a foolish woman easily deceived by men's sweet talk.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Moxi immediately increased the output of her demonic power and, following the extended red line, gained basic confidence in having a 'second boat'.
Let me, Tu Shan Mei happy, see who has the audacity to steal Bai Hua's man!
Name: Tu Shan Mei happy
Gender: Female
Age: 1314
Personality: Fiery, arrogant, and with a touch of tsundere.
Race: Tushan Red Fox
Hobbies: Horse riding games (but prefers being the horse), fantasizing about being the heroine of a storybook, painting.
A little secret: I tried writing a story anonymously, but it was so bad that everyone who read it criticized it relentlessly. I was forced to enter the palace after only three chapters. The paintings I made anonymously were also ridiculed by the maid as children's drawings, and no one ever saw that maid again in the Tushan Royal City.
Number of romantic relationships: 0
Brother Tree's assessment: A top-tier "eternal leftover woman." There's a reason she's been single for so long. You should be grateful if you find a partner.
"..."
Upon seeing that string of information, Tu Shan Meixi's face immediately darkened at a visible speed.
She even considered setting the old, senile tree on fire to get rid of it.
It's one thing to not be able to find information about the white drawing object, but how come you let me find my own information by following the red line extending from the white drawing object?
