Chapter 14: Secret Method of Healing

"Yichen, the medicinal bath is ready. I'll bring it in for you." Lu Linger's knock on the door interrupted Gu Yichen's thoughts. He suddenly came to his senses and stood up to help Lu Linger bring in the medicinal soup for the medicinal bath.

"Wait for me to adjust the water before getting into the bathtub. The bathtub in your room is new, don't worry. The medicinal bath must be combined with acupuncture to be effective." Lu Linger poured the medicinal bath soup into the large bathtub in the room and walked out to get other medicinal soups.

Gu Yichen's face flushed instantly. He felt a little uncomfortable about having to undress in front of the girl. However, Lu Linger didn't wait for him to react. She brought back a bucket of medicinal bath soup and urged him, "Yichen, why are you still standing there in a daze? Go take a bath. The medicinal effect will gradually dissipate with the temperature."

Lu Linger is a modern doctor and is not as sensitive as the ancients about men taking off their clothes. However, Gu Yichen is a native of ancient times. Faced with this situation, his heart was full of entanglements, which almost killed him.

"This medicinal bath can suppress the toxins in your body and prevent them from spreading to your lungs and heart. After the bath, I'll give you acupuncture to force the toxins out. Then you can drink the medicinal soup to dissolve the poison as quickly as possible." Lu Linger explained while busying herself. "You must also use acupuncture during this period to prevent the toxins from spreading everywhere."

Gu Yichen was poisoned by two types of poison. One was the "Night Phantom Poison," which blocked his meridians and prevented him from exerting his inner strength. Once forced, the poison would spread rapidly, leaving him with a purplish-black complexion and blood-red, dark lines, like malevolent tentacles reaching his neck. Furthermore, this poison caused intense pain on every full-moon night. The purpose of the medicinal bath was to unclog the meridians, dissipate blood stasis, and detoxify.

The other poison was the "Styx Cold," which had just been administered to him. It would make the victim feel as if they were immersed in ice water, and would also recur once a month, causing unbearable pain.

Lu Ling'er pulled several packets of oil-paper-wrapped herbs from her bosom and poured them into the tub one by one. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms, which were as white as lotus roots. She tested the water temperature, confirming it was just right, before saying, "These herbs, like 'Chuanxiong, Peach Kernel, Safflower, Red Peony Root, Salvia Miltiorrhiza, and Diyang Grass,' are all used to dredge the meridians, dissipate blood stasis, and detoxify. There's also 'Yin Ning Grass,' an ideal herb for refining yin-cold herbs, enhancing their properties. There's also Yuzuzhi and Zhuyu Grass, legendary herbs said to prolong life and possess powerful healing properties."

Gu Yichen couldn't help but feel grateful. Lu Ling'er had used such a precious herb on him without hesitation, which made him feel a little ashamed. He didn't know how good Lu Ling'er was at medicine, but he was willing to put his life in her hands because he could feel that every step she took was to save him, without any falsehood or entrapment.

"After you finish the medicinal bath, I'll give you acupuncture, using my unique acupuncture techniques to gradually expel the toxins from your body. Then, drink the 'cleansing soup'; it should help you recover quickly."

Gu Yichen nodded. Though he still felt a little uneasy, he knew Lu Ling'er was trying to save him. Watching Lu Ling'er busy at work, Gu Yichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He didn't know the true extent of Lu Ling'er's medical skills, but he was willing to put his life in her hands. He could sense that Lu Ling'er was genuinely concerned for his own good, without any falsehood or intention to harm him.

At this moment, he felt as if he were experiencing a rebirth, and Lu Ling'er was his most important savior. He secretly vowed in his heart that no matter how bumpy the road ahead, he would not easily give up this unexpected sense of belonging.

"Ling'er," Gu Yichen said silently in his heart, "I will definitely remember your words. Since you have provoked me, don't even think about running away. I will stick to my promise. Even if I am just a cheap husband, I will do my best to protect this unexpected warmth."
