However, Qingchen was adamant, so Wen Huanzhi had no choice but to reluctantly agree and awkwardly took off his pants.
Wen Qingchen didn’t look too closely. She quietly gathered her supernatural healing power in her hand and pressed it onto the acupoint on Wen Huanzhi’s knee.
Noticing that her healing abilities hadn’t weakened but had actually become more solid, Wen Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
One moment Wen Huanzhi was feeling shy, and the next he cried out in pain, “It hurts!”
Then, to his surprise, he felt a wave of joy. He could actually feel pain? How was that possible? His legs had long been numb!
Wen Qingchen, unfazed, continued stimulating the acupoint. “It will hurt more later, so bear with it, brother.”
Wen Huanzhi was stunned. He looked at Wen Qingchen, then at his own legs, feeling waves of warmth in his heart. Could his legs really be saved?
Now that his sister was no longer ill or foolish, if his legs could also recover… He felt overwhelmed with emotion, wanting to hug her tightly and say thank you.
–
After several days of heavy rain, the weather finally cleared up.
During these days, she openly brewed tonics for Wen Huanzhi and secretly used her abilities to heal him. She had used up all the herbs she had picked earlier and needed to go out and gather more.
Wen Huanzhi carefully instructed, “The ground is slippery after the heavy rain. You can wait a few days before going out.”
Wen Qingchen said seriously, “No, brother, you can’t stop the medicine!”
Wen Huanzhi felt helpless. It was strange; despite the tonics being ordinary, they really seemed to be helping his legs!
“Just be very careful.”
Wen Qingchen didn’t want to go out either, but under the guise of treatment, she had no choice but to go herb picking.
After casually digging up some common tonics, she arrived at a clear pool, the same place where she had drunk water before.
Despite the continuous heavy rain, the pool remained clear and sparkling.
Wen Qingchen took a sip of the water, feeling its coolness and comfort. As she turned to leave, a blue light shone from the opposite side.
Was that… a gemstone?
Under the sunlight, the blue gemstone emitted a translucent glow.
With a light touch of her toes, Wen Qingchen leaped across the pool and found that the blue gemstone was embedded in a piece of clothing.
The clothes were placed on a tray, along with other garments.
Wen Qingchen looked around and muttered, “It seems like there’s no one here. Did someone forget these?”
She waited for a while for the owner to return and claim them, but after a long wait, no one came.
After confirming there was no one around, Wen Qingchen thought the blue gemstone was really beautiful and might be worth a lot of money…
They were currently staying at the temple, and once her brother’s injuries healed, they would have to leave the mountain. However, they had no money…
Wen Qingchen waited for another half hour. When no one returned, she took the small piece of clothing on top, carefully arranged the rest of the clothes, and then left.
After all, if she didn’t pick it up, someone else passing by might.
…
The pool remained quiet and still.
Wen Qingchen had no idea that shortly after she left, a crack silently appeared in the wall of the pool, and a handsome man emerged, stepping into the water.
He was like a deity.
With deep eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, his features were sculpted as if by the hands of a god, more beautiful than any woman yet retaining a strong masculine aura.
He closed his eyes and soaked in the pool for about two minutes. From somewhere, he produced a mask and put it on, the silver mask accentuating the firm lines of his handsome face.
He leaped out of the water and landed beside the tray.
Every move he made was graceful to the extreme.
The tray floated in front of him, and just as he was about to dress, he paused slightly, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing.
“Hmm? Who stole my underwear?”
