Upon hearing this explanation, Hua Manlou was slightly taken aback, but his expression quickly returned to its usual gentle and refined manner.

“I am blind. Miss Tang actually knew about this a long time ago, but she never mentioned it after we met. Instead, she carefully watched over my eyes. I am so grateful for your concern, Miss Tang!”

Whether I can see or not is no longer an obsession for me. The world of the blind may lack many joys, but it also allows me to discover beauty that ordinary people cannot perceive.

The gentle dance of spring rain, the passionate exuberance of summer breeze, the desolate chill of autumn wind, and the tranquil serenity of winter snow—all these are landscapes I can hear, a unique kind of beauty.

"If Miss Tang wants to see my eyes, just say so. I always cooperate with the doctor's treatment."

Tang Yu felt a little embarrassed after saying this so frankly.

This was originally an excuse, but now she doesn't intend to let it be an excuse anymore.

For her, treating a blind person was not difficult at all!

The person in front of her was easygoing and gentle, kind-hearted, and polite; she was truly worth befriending.

"Then please don't move for now, Young Master Hua. Let me examine your eyes."

After saying this, Hua Manlou simply said "Please".

At that moment, Tang Yu moved directly close to the other person's body, then bent down slightly and touched Hua Manlou's eyes with his hand.

Actually, such an examination is unnecessary. Tang Yu only needs to use his special ability to treat the condition.

But right now, Tang Yu just wanted to try getting close to the other party to see if he could sense their spiritual energy.

Then, when Tang Yu's fingers brought close to Hua Manlou's eyes, she sensed spiritual energy.

I subconsciously checked my forehead and other areas, but there was no spiritual energy there, only in my eyes.

Tang Yu was shocked.

Could it be that Hua Manlou's eyes were injured, causing his spiritual energy to leak out?

If it is cured now, wouldn't there be no more spiritual energy to be released?

Then Tang Yu was caught in a dilemma. Of course, she could get treatment, but she wanted to postpone it.

Tang Yu, lost in thought, didn't even notice that her hands were still pressed against the other person's cheeks.

What was supposed to be an eye exam has turned into an intimate touch.

Hua Manlou also wanted to remain calm. The doctor should be a professional, but hadn't it been taking too long?

Is it really being examined if it's just stuck to your face like that?

"Miss Tang, you seem to be in a difficult position. In fact, I have seen many doctors over the years, and many of them did not dare to give me that answer in the end."

It's alright, actually. I accept that it can't be cured; if it can be cured, that would be a pleasant surprise. Miss Tang, there's no need to hesitate.

Because of the long silence, Hua Manlou couldn't help but speak up, and his thoughts even turned out to be inappropriate.

Tang Yu snapped out of her daze, took two steps back, and her expression became somewhat complicated.

"No... I can heal you, but I have selfish motives."

Perhaps no one would want to lie to such a perceptive and gentle person, at least Tang Yu wouldn't.

Hua Manlou didn't understand, but he asked with concern.

"Everyone has their own selfish motives. Miss Tang, you can just speak frankly. Maybe I can agree?"

"It's a bit strange, you've noticed it recently too, haven't you? I can now take human form for longer than an incense stick can burn."

Then, I discovered that this matter was related to you. When I was examining your eyes just now, I found that there was spiritual energy emanating from them, and I absorbed the spiritual energy to cultivate myself.

If I'm not mistaken, it will take me a while to fully transform into a human, and only you can help me with that.

So I don't want to cure your eyes right now, isn't that selfish? I could cure you right away.

After listening to these words, Hua Manlou thought about them carefully several times before he felt he understood them.

"My eyes can emit spiritual energy, which is essential for your cultivation?"

Tang Yu nodded in agreement.

"Just like people need to eat and drink every day, we spirits who cultivate need spiritual energy."

As for why your eyes radiate such spiritual energy, I don't know.

I just suspect that you might be a celestial being descended to earth; of course, this is just speculation.

These words made Hua Manlou laugh instantly; it turned out to be just such a small matter.

"I was worried that if Miss Tang could never transform into a human and was imprisoned here forever, how miserable and miserable that would be."

If I can lend you a hand now, that would be wonderful.

As for my eyes, I have been blind for many years, so I am not in a hurry. On the contrary, I hope to help Miss Tang break free from her constraints and gain her freedom as soon as possible.

Such a warm and kind person is truly comfortable to be around.

Tang Yu was relieved. Since the disease could be cured eventually, she decided to let her take human form first.

Chapter 5 Flower-Filled Pavilion 5

In the following days, in order to help Tang Yu take human form, Hua Manlou continued to come and chat with Tang Yu every night.

The two would occasionally play the piano and chat about the sheet music. Tang Yu would also play some tunes that Hua Manlou didn't know, just to pass the time.

Then Tang Yu realized that this speed was too slow. It was true that she could absorb a little spiritual energy every day, which did make it take her longer to turn into human form.

But it takes at least a month for one incense stick to become two, and then two to become three. It's like waiting for a monkey or a horse to take shape.

The spiritual energy in Hua Manlou's eyes is very strong, could it be that the method is wrong?

After all, spiritual energy is indeed scarce after it dissipates into the air, so shouldn't we try a different method?

After pondering for several days, Tang Yu, whose spring had turned into summer, made a decision: she had to take a risk.

That evening, Hua Manlou had his servants prepare some delicious pastries, and as usual, he sat down under the peach tree.

Tang Yu appeared quickly, and Hua Manlou burst into laughter.

"These are hibiscus cake and lotus flower pastry. I've noticed you've been eating these two kinds of pastries a lot lately, so I had someone buy some extra."

Tang Yu liked the snacks, but enjoying the food wasn't the point today. He sat down opposite Hua Man Lou and spoke carefully.

"I've discovered something. After the spiritual energy in your eyes dissipated, I didn't actually absorb it all. Instead, much of it dissipated around me."

If I continue cultivating at this rate, I estimate it will take several years to take human form, so I want to try a different method.

This method might be a bit presumptuous, and it may not be correct, but I need your cooperation to determine its accuracy.

He spoke with considerable hesitation, leaving Hua Manlou somewhat puzzled.

"How to cooperate?"

Tang Yu felt a little embarrassed after asking the question, because she might be taking advantage of the other party.

"Since it's emanating from your eyes, I want to get close to them and absorb some of the spiritual energy..."

The words were phrased tactfully, but Hua Manlou understood them instantly.

Then, a faint blush appeared on his face.

Is this the only way?

"At least for now, I can't think of any other solutions."

Hua Manlou didn't hesitate for long; after pausing for a few seconds, he agreed.

"If it can help you, then give it a try."

After saying this, Hua Manlou slowly closed his eyes. Although he had already accepted the matter, Hua Manlou inexplicably began to feel nervous.

He could clearly feel a rich fragrance of peach blossoms gently wafting towards him.

Immediately afterwards, warm breath, carrying an intoxicating scent, gently brushed against his cheek, and his eyes involuntarily felt a ticklish sensation.

The two were so close they could almost feel each other's heartbeats; it was an extreme intimacy that made one want to succumb.

The rich fragrance of peach blossoms surged and overwhelmed him, threatening to engulf him completely. Hua Manlou struggled to control his thoughts, not wanting them to run rampant.

However, his heart began to race uncontrollably, and a strange warm current seemed to surge in his chest.

The feeling was like a feather gently brushing against his heart, a little itchy, yet sweet, slowly consuming his reason.

In that heart-pounding moment, he suddenly felt something warm and soft, like a delicate flower petal, gently touch his eyes. Was that... a kiss?

The thought flashed through Hua Manlou's mind like lightning, and he suddenly clenched his hands.

At that moment, the world seemed to fall silent; the usually sensitive ears seemed to lose their hearing, and all the senses focused on the eyes.

Hua Manlou clearly felt a strange yet intense emotion welling up in his chest, which was both frightening and indescribably joyful.

It felt sour and tender, as if something had flown into his heart.

And what about Tang Yu? The moment she got close to Hua Manlou's eyes, she felt an immense surge of spiritual energy, like a raging tide that overwhelmed all her defenses.

She couldn't help but gently kiss him.

Chapter 6 Flower-Filled Pavilion 6

A long, long time passed until Tang Yu had absorbed all the spiritual energy from the eye, at which point she suddenly came to her senses and took a step back.

"I'm sorry, I was really too abrupt!"

Tang Yu was a little embarrassed when she realized what she had done. After all, it was a bit too intimate, which was too offensive to people in ancient times.

Hua Manlou's palms were covered in fine sweat, and the redness on his face wouldn't fade. He really didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

"Miss Tang, please rest well. See you tomorrow."
