Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Just Treating the Illness_1

When Luo Shuining heard a knock at the door, she immediately panicked, and she was in such a flurry that she didn’t know what to do.

At the moment, all she was wearing on her upper body was a small bellyband.

"Who is it?" Jing Yi asked.

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and said, "What a tragedy, it’s Fu Meiting outside."

"Damn Zhang Xian..."

Suddenly, Fu Meiting’s angry accusation from outside the door, "What are you doing in there? Didn’t you say there was nothing going on between you?"

"What’s the meaning of this? She hasn’t even come in, how does she know what we’re doing in here?" Jing Yi said in surprise.

Zhang Xian sighed, stepped forward, and opened the door.

By now, all the women knew how to use their spiritual senses, so even if Fu Meiting hadn’t come in, she would know what was happening inside. The fact that Luo Shuining was undressing was already known to Fu Meiting.

"Ah..."

Luo Shuining, on seeing Fu Meiting, hastily scrambled to put her clothes on.

"Well done, Zhang Xian!"

Fu Meiting glared at Zhang Xian and said coldly, "I really thought there was nothing between you guys before, and I chose to believe you. Now, what else do you have to say? The three of you, hiding in the room, are you going to have a threesome? I must say, you guys seem to be having quite some fun, aren’t you?"

"Wh...what threesome? Could you please not spout nonsense?" Jing Yi turned red, immediately upon hearing these words.

Having put on her clothes, Luo Shuining moved to one side, her tiny face flushing as well.

"Do you think I’m blind?" Fu Meiting sneered, "Or do you think undressing isn’t obvious enough and I need to catch you in the act?"

Jing Yi retorted with a straight face, "Don’t make things up if you don’t know what’s happening. Zhang Xian was just treating Shuining’s illness. He’s not as lewd as you think. Why are we to blame if you don’t trust Zhang Xian?"

"What’s going on?"

Zhu Qing and Dong Qian ran over, faces full of curiosity.

Then, Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, and Yao Rao also walked in. As they understood the situation in the room, their faces instantly grew as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Luo Shuining acting coy, Jing Yi and Fu Meiting being at daggers drawn, if they didn’t know what was happening here, then they must have a problem with their IQs.

"Is it really just medical treatment?" Fu Meiting asked Zhang Xian as she looked at him.

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and nodded.

"What kind of illness?"

Zhu Qing looked Luo Shuining over and remarked, "I think she looks quite shy, not at all like a sick person."

"I... I really am sick," Luo Shuining said, glancing furtively at the women.

When she felt that something wasn’t right, she hurriedly waved her hands, "I... I’m not... I... my body really does feel uncomfortable, and it’s been that way for a while now, but it’s not evident externally."

"That’s not a very convincing reason."

Mo Shaoyun glanced at Zhang Xian and said, "Do whatever you want! I can’t be bothered anymore. Some things, if they’re always on the tip of the tongue, they become meaninglessly repetitive."

"I...I’m really..." Luo Shuining wanted to explain for Zhang Xian.

However, the girls, Mo Shaoyun and the others, didn’t give her the opportunity. After taking a look at Zhang Xian, they turned and left the room.

"Um, you guys..." Luo Shuining wanted to chase after them.

Just then, she felt a surge of heat from within her body, as if she were being burned from the inside out, burning her to ashes.

"Shuining!" Jing Yi immediately supported Luo Shuining, anxious as she asked, "Are... are you having another attack?"

Luo Shuining nodded, her body started shaking involuntarily.

"Help her to take off her top, then lay her down on the bed and unfasten her bellyband." Zhang Xian shut the door, pulled out a detoxification pill and pushed it into Luo Shuining’s mouth, urging, "Hurry."

Jing Yi nodded and helped Luo Shuining undress quickly, then supported her to the bed, made her lie down, revealing her fair and flawless back.

Zhang Xian took a deep breath, sat down on the edge of the bed, placed one hand on Luo Shuining’s back, his inner spiritual energy surged and flowed into Luo Shuining’s body to counteract the spread of the drug’s effect.

"Mmm..." Luo Shuining furrowed her brows lightly, humming continuously. It was like she was being burned internally, it was very painful.

Fortunately, the pain didn’t last long. After swallowing the detoxification pill, she quickly felt a stream of coolness emerge internally, counteracting the unbearable heat.

After a short while, her originally smooth back suddenly turned red, and the color became more pronounced, as if a shade was changing from light to dark.

At the same time, billowing green vapors came continuously streaming from the pores on her back, like clouds of smoke.

"This..."

Jing Yi watched in amazement from the side.

Seeing the green vapors, she also believed Zhang Xian’s words. The potency of that detoxification pill just now was indeed too strong for Luo Shuining to handle at the present moment. It was necessary to force out the excess medicinal strength.

...

Outside the room, the women, Mo Shaoyun and the others, hadn’t gone far, but were observing through their spiritual senses.

Regardless of whether Zhang Xian had a relationship with Jing Yi and Luo Shuining or not, they obviously weren’t going to stand by and watch him be in a relationship with a woman other than them. They absolutely would not allow it.

As their spiritual senses extended into the room and saw Zhang Xian actually treating Luo Shuining’s illness, and when the green smoke was seen rising from Luo Shuining’s back, they felt embarrassed.

Zhang Xian, it seemed, really had no ulterior motives, he was really just treating an illness.

"We, it seems we might have wronged Zhang Xian."

Mo Shaoyun frowned, "He really is treating Luo Shuining. Just now, Luo Shuining’s pain didn’t look like it was faked, I noticed her skin suddenly turn red."

Dong Qian nodded, "I saw it too."

"Let’s just wait and see!"

Yao Rao laughed, "We misunderstood Zhang Xian, we should apologize. Actually, he has it tough too."

The girls nodded in agreement, none of them leaving.

"Creak..."

After a while, the door was opened, and Jing Yi and Luo Shuining came out.

Upon seeing Mo Shaoyun and the others, they quickly explained, "Sisters, don’t misunderstand, there’s really nothing going on between Zhang Xian and me, he was just treating my illness."

"Is your illness cured?" asked Mo Shaoyun.

Luo Shuining paused, then nodded, "Yes, it’s better."

"That’s good then," Mo Shaoyun said, "We already know about what just happened, we misunderstood you guys, we’re sorry."

Jing Yi frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Never mind, we just found out." Fu Meiting laughed lightly, "Rest early."

Jing Yi and Luo Shuining were confused, but did not ask further. They returned to their room.

Right when Mo Shaoyun and the girls had left the room, they were still fuming. After they came out, the women had already figured it out and were genuinely puzzled.

"Not angry anymore?" Zhang Xian came out from the room, leaning by the door cheekily.

The women’s divine sense hadn’t escaped his perception earlier. Meaning, he knew about their peeping all along. That’s why he didn’t bother to explain.

He knew that the women would surely peek using their divine sense. Once they found out the truth, the situation would naturally resolve itself.

"Alright, we wronged you." Fu Meiting laughed and said.

Zhang Xian chuckled, "How about some compensation? An apology and it’s over? Do you know, my little heart has been hurt again!"

"I don’t mind. It’s up to them how they want to make it up to you." Fu Meiting said with a smile.

Mo Shaoyun paused, then quickly turned and rushed off to her room.

So did Xiao Nan, Zhu Qing, and Dong Qian, running off faster than rabbits.

Fu Meiting and Yao Rao however, appeared unbothered and didn’t run off. They just stared at Zhang Xian, smiling faintly.

"Heh heh, all together then?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose, looking at Fu Meiting and Yao Rao, "Today seems like a good day."

"I’ll better leave Meiting to keep your company. I am going to sleep." Yao Rao gave Zhang Xian a flirtatious glance and sashayed quickly back to her room.

Zhang Xian paused and then forced a smile.

"What’s wrong? Not happy?" Fu Meiting turned to leave, "If you aren’t, go sleep on your own!"

Zhang Xian didn’t let Fu Meiting escape, pulling and dragging her back into his room.

Tonight, sleep wasn’t meant to be.

...

Somewhere in Lingbei, in the basement of a villa.

An old nun was tied to a steel cross, with her arms, legs, waist and neck all bound with iron chains that were as thick as wrists.

An old man was sitting next to her, swinging his leg, laughing in an eerie manner.

"Cold Face, let me out!"

The old nun stared at the middle-aged man, her face ashen.

"I already told you. Hand over the secret manual and I’ll release you. Otherwise, you’ll be here forever." Cold Face responded with a cold laugh.

The old nun angrily said, "I’ve told you many times. I don’t have that manual. I’ve never seen it. You’d know, being Gao Yi’s brother."

"Heh heh..."

Cold Face laughed, "True, Gao Yi is my brother, but he was also your old lover. You should know his affairs best. If I don’t ask you, who else should I ask?"

"Humph, that was many years ago." The old nun frowns.

Cold Face replied, "That’s only because Gao Yi is dead. Otherwise, you two would probably still be playing roommates, right? I’m not afraid of telling you the truth. That secret manual is a must-have for me. You either tell me or, you don’t but I will still know. I was the one who killed Gao Yi; killing you would be just as easy. Don’t make me resort to cruel methods."

Hearing this, the old nun turned livid.

Cold Face’s mention of Gao Yi only made her angrier.

Before, Gao Yi treated Cold Face as his life-and-death friend. But in the end, he died at the hands of Cold Face, all for a secret manual.

"Master Cold Face."

All of a sudden, a young man came down from the stairs, "This old bag hasn’t confessed yet? Should we use some stronger methods and make her suffer a bit?"

"No rush. I have time to play this game with her." Cold Face was utterly composed.

The young man chuckled, "This old bag seems to have two pretty disciples. I’m kind of interested. Perhaps we could use them."

The old nun was enraged, "What are you going to do?"

"Heh heh..."

Cold Face’s eyes lit up, "Hm, you’ve got a good idea there. Why didn’t I think of that? This old nun’s most precious things seem to be her two disciples."
