Chapter-29（Acupuncture）

In the mean time he went to a blacksmith shop and bought a set of 108 Acupuncture needle .

The night slowly arrives, moon shined brightly, covering everything with a veil.

Training grounds.

Karan walking towards the area where he first met Xiao Ning'er. Seeing far away, under the moonlight, there standing quietly was Xiao Ning'er. It seems that today she went through meticulous dressing up. Pure black hair cascading down, studded with silver ribbons. White delicate face, slender eyebrows, elegant and refined, without the slightest sense of reality.

Really worth being a beauty on par with Ye Ziyun.

"Thought you weren't coming?" Xiao Ning'er's eyes fell on Karan.

"How can that be, I'm someone that keeps my promises." Karan faintly smiled saying, "No matter how busy I am, first I have to treat the illness on your body."

"Thank you." Xiao Ning'er whispered, lowering her head. Her heart filled with grat.i.tude.

Karan lowered his head looking at Xiao Ning'er. Xiao Ning'er's outfit seems to be more attractive compared to her usual. That white silk dress showing her seductive figure, from her chest the long dress stretches all the way to the knee. Slender legs shaped by diligent practice and full of elasticity could be seen.

"Should be a little better by now." Karan examined Xiao Ning'er's feet. Her delicate shoulder, was as beautiful as sparkling crystal, smooth and delicate. The bruise that was there had slightly lighten.

"Yeah, it has," Xiao Ning'er nodded her head. Her heart was filled with grat.i.tude for Karan. After she spread the medicine on bruished area ,it lightened the pain. These few nights she slept especially soundly, unlike before where it was torturing.

"Now ,that the symptoms has weakend slightly ,I will start duing acupuncture treatment. We will require 3 sets of treatment on 3 days interval." Karan said.

"What are you thinking about?" ke asked, looking towards Xiao Ning'er. He was puzzled since her expression was a bit strange.

"No, Nothing…." Xiao Ning'er quickly shook her head, expelling all the thoughts she had in her head and asked, "Karan, do you know the Acupuncture technique?"

"Of course I do," Karan nodded his head and continued, "But at my current cultivation level, Acupuncture technique requires direct contact with the bruised area. It wouldn't seem appropriate if I were to be the one doing it."

Xiao Ning'er looked up at Karan's chiseled cheeks. He had sharp eyebrows, and deep lights flashed in his black pupils. He had a bit of a handsomeness aura around him, which was slowly merging with the image she had in her heart.

She lowered her head and said, "I don't mind. Weren't you just treating me? I don't want to turn into a useless person."

That last sentence Xiao Ning'er said was to comfort herself.

In front of Karan, Xiao Ning'er dropped the cold guard she had up against him.

"Uh..." Karan went silent for a moment.

'Even if she's a girl and doesn't mind, if I were to refuse I'll be too petty.'

His heart already had Anju. He only had a small impression towards Xiao Ning'er. He did not think much about it and said, "Okay then, I'll help you with the Acupuncture technique to treat your illness once every three days. Do what I just told you when you go back. Eat those herbs and you will be fine."

"En," replied Xiao Ning'er, nodding in silence.

"Where's your bruised area?" Karan asked.

Xiao Ning'er's cold cheeks slightly blushed and pointed to her shoulder and back of her foot.

"There's one here."

Karan lowered his head to look at it. He saw a patch of deep purple on the top of one of Xiao Ning'er's silky white feet. The bruise was already this serious.

"So serious," said Karan. He frowned and continued. "Luckily it's only on the shoulder and foot, otherwise it would be a little troublesome elsewhere. It's a lot more convenient, since it's at the top of the foot. I will be done soon."

Karan crouched down, and sat on the gra.s.s patch.

"En," said Xiao Ning'er, nodding her head. She didn't say that that's the only bruised area. When she placed her foot on Karan's legs, a light flashed across her eyes. She seemed to be thinking of something.

Gripping onto Xiao Ning'er's creamy jade white foot made Karan's heart swing. Karan could clearly see that Xiao Ning'er's smooth tight calves were simply perfect.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm only treating your illness. The girl I like is Ye Ziyun. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope that we can be friends in the future," Karan explained as he looked at Xiao Ning'er's charming face.

Hearing Karan's words, Xiao Ning'er's shoulders slightly shook. She nodded her head and faintly muttered, "En."

From young till now, aside from her father, Karan is the only male that has touched her skin directly. But, the one that Karan likes is Ye Ziyun. At thought the of her, Xiao Ning'er's nose slightly turned sour.

(TLN: 'en' is kind of a sound that indicate agreement, something like okay but they used 'en' instead)

Alright, relax your entire body!"

Karan retrieves a medium-sized jade box from the room and opens it gently. Within it lies numerous silver needles of different length.

Sou!

Sitting on his original spot without moving, he grabs silver needles and pierced it over her shoulder and foot.

A soft sound and the silver needle he infused with zhenqi shoots tautly towards Xiao Ning'er pierces her leg.

A few gusts of wind whip up and the silver needles pierce into her leg with the exact same depth. This shows that the other party has already reached a rather advanced level of his control over his strength.

The silver needle pierces into the flesh of her leg. Just as Xiao Ning'er is about to ask Karan how he intends to treat her, his hand slides past the needle and the qi that is contained in the needle activates and probes into her body.

"Ah..."

As the zhenqi enters her body, she feels an tingling sensation in her leg. The acupoint which was sealed previously immediately opens under the surge of the zhenqi and her Qi was being slowly balanced itself .

"Ah" Xiao Ning'er couldn't help to let out a pained sound.

"The first time will hurt a little. Bear with me for awhile," said Karan. He suddenly thought of something and felt embarra.s.sed. Holding a girl's leg and saying such words, sounded a little weird. Although Xiao Ning'er is only thirteen years old, she grew up in a aristocrat family, and would, naturally, have some knowledge regarding these matters. After all, some of the girls her age are already married with kids.

Xiao Ning'er lowered her head. Her cheeks flushed red, and couldn't help the weird feeling in her heart.

The blushing face of Xiao Ning'er was especially charming. It made Karan's heart jumped. Xiao Ning'er was indeed on par with Ye Ziyun's beauty in the previous life. Although she's only thirteen years old, she is already very charming. Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun are both G.o.ddesses that the boys looked up to. Ye Ziyun was full of grace and elegance, while Xiao Ning'er had a cold figure, made the both of them their dream lovers.

But after thinking about Ye Ziyun, Karan stop thinking and focused on treating Xiao Ning'er.

Under Karan's gentle ma.s.sage, Xiao Ning'er felt intense pain at the beginning but the pain was soon replaced by the warmth of entering her foot and shoulder. After a while, there was the feeling of hot ants drilling into her foot, making her itch, which was replaced with a blissful numbness. Xiao Ning'er couldn't help letting out a little 'ah', which made her endlessly bashful.

That bruise had been there for about six to seven months now. Over time, she would feel terrible pain from it. Xiao Ning'er had been enduring the pain with her will power this whole time. However, no matter how much she persevered, the pain had been torturing her all this time. Xiao Ning'er originally thought that treating this patch of bruise would be very uncomfortable and painful, but, to her surprise, Karan zhenqi was very gentle. She felt the pain that has been torturing her all this time was alleviated by a lot. She couldn't help as her eyes turned watery. No one knew how hard it was to bear the pain. Every night, she would secretly cry. After wiping those tears off, she would continue to practice. She never thought that after being treated by Karan, the pain would be relieved by this much. Her heart was filled with grat.i.tude.

Under the moonlight, Karan's face was clear. The serious expression that he had on his face set ripples off in Xiao Ning'er's heart, making it hard for her to calm down.

"Done," said Karan finished the ma.s.sage.

While she was still overwhelmed by shock, her body relaxes completely and slumps. By then, the silver needles had already been retrieved by the other party.

Following which, Xiao Ning'er feels a surge of relaxation in her leg, a comfortable sensation which she has never experienced.

He faintly laughed and said, "For the next few day, there will still be traces of pain, but all you need to do is rest and you will be fine."

"En," said Xiao Ning'er, nodding her head. Suddenly, her cheeks flushing red, she continued to say, "I still have another bruise, could you treat it, too?"

"Another bruise?"

"Where is it?" he asked.

Xiao Ning'er felt her heart struggling.

'If it's only to let Karan treat my shoulder and legs, it's still acceptable, but if it's that place...' Xiao Ning'er hesitated for a long time, her face shyly blushing red.

"If it's not convenient...." began Karan, seeing Xiao Ning'er's expression. He immediately realised that the bruised area should be at an inconvenient location.

"Karan, the person you like is Ye Ziyun?"

"Yeah," Karan nodded his head and replied, recalling everything that happened in his previous life. The life and death situation that he and Ye Ziyun had gone through. His heart was suddenly filled with happiness just by thinking about it. With his rebirth, he will definitely protect Ye Ziyun.

At this moment, after listening to Karan's words, Xiao Ning'er had a weird taste in her heart. Karan was the first boy to move her heart, but the one Karan likes isn't her. It was Ye Ziyun.

Xiao Ning'er's eyes flashed with disappointment, thought for a moment and asked, "Then, does Ye Zu Yun like you?"

The current Ye Ziyun doesn't know anything about Karan. Not hating him would already consider very good. Karan shook his head, smiled and confidently said, "She will fall in love with me!"

Looking at Karan, Xiao Ning'er laughed, 'So Karan's love is unrequited. I don't know where that confidence of his comes from. He actually thinks that the prideful Ye Ziyun would fall for him.'

Not that Xiao Ning'er feels that Karan is unworthy of Ye Ziyun's love, but the neither of them has any understanding towards each other. The chances of them coming together is too slim. The current Ye Ziyun still doesn't have any understanding towards Karan, hence, she would definitely have no feelings for him. But if one day, if Ye Ziyun understood Karan's character, she might really fall for him.

Till now, no one seems to have realise Karan's talent. However, one day Karan will definitely shine. By then, she fears that even a prideful girl like Ye Ziyun will be subdued by Karan.

In the eyes of others, Karan is still an ignorant boy, but Xiao Ning'er knows that Karan's ability is far beyond the imagination of other people. Karan will definitely become a Legend rank Demon Spiritist like Lord Ye Mo in the future or become an even more powerful existance.

Xiao Ning'er struggled for awhile in her heart. 'If the illness doesn't get treated, I will get thrown further and further apart from the surrounding genius of my age.'

Since the one helping her with the treatment is Karan, it wasn't that hard to accept. Grinding her teeth, she began to undo the b.u.t.tons on her shirt. Seeing Xiao Ning'er's action, Karan couldn't help feeling embarra.s.sed.

He rubbed his nose and said, "This doesn't look good. I'm a decent person."

He watched as Xiao Ning'er slowly removed her shirt. Her cold figure had an unspeakable charm to it.

Xiao Ning'er stared at Karan as she thought, 'Then is she a ** kind of girl?'

If it wasn't for her treatment, she wouldn't even take the initiative to undo her shirt. As she unb.u.t.toned her shirt, her hands slightly trembled and her inner struggle could be seen.(TLN: ** is actually in the raw text btw)

Karan thought for awhile. 'I know it is to save her, so I can't think too much about other stuff. I can't let Xiao Ning'er's hope be crumbled by the disease.'

The surrounding atmosphere turned charming. The first b.u.t.ton, then the second b.u.t.ton. Xiao Ning'er's fat-less smooth white skin was already visible, glowing under the moonlight.
