The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Chen Xuan even felt that Shen Xirou's voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

"Then, Your Majesty, have you thought this through?" Chen Xuan stopped thinking and walked directly to She Jingxi.

She Jingxi's face flushed instantly. She knew what Chen Xuan meant. Putting aside whether she agreed or not, Shen Xirou was right there. Even if she agreed, she would never agree in this situation!

"Ahem, I didn't ask you to come here today to treat my illness, but to see her!" She Jingxi pointed to Shen Xirou standing to the side.

"Miss Shen?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.

"No, don't call me that anymore, just call me Madam!" Shen Xirou blushed slightly when she heard the young man still calling her Miss.

"Alright, does Madam Shen have any illness?"

"She suffered some injuries in her early years, and even after recovering, she still had hidden injuries in her body. Her cultivation level regressed instead of improving. She has seen many doctors, but they are all helpless. Since I see that you have some medical skills, I have decided to have you take a look!"

"I see! Then let me take your hand, Madam Shen, so I can check your pulse!" Chen Xuan said.

"Wh-what? Me, do I still have to give you my hand?" Shen Xirou was startled by Chen Xuan's words.

“Of course, how could I tell what’s wrong with you without taking your pulse?” Chen Xuan smiled.

"This, this, this isn't appropriate, is it?" Shen Xirou's face showed a hint of unease. Given her status, how could she possibly be with this young man in front of her...

She wasn't looking down on Chen Xuan, but it was just too inappropriate!

"There's nothing inappropriate about it, it's just taking a pulse, Madam Shen, please don't overthink it!" Chen Xuan said seriously.

Seeing this, She Jingxi smiled and reassured her, "Xirou, just let him take a look at your hand. He's a doctor, he won't have any ulterior motives."

Hearing She Jingxi's words, Shen Xirou relaxed a little, but she was still somewhat hesitant.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking your pulse, Madam. I will never do anything disrespectful to you!" Chen Xuan saw Shen Xirou's concerns and emphasized again.

Looking at Chen Xuan's sincere smile, Shen Xirou couldn't help but blush. She hesitated for a moment, but still extended her slender hand.

Chen Xuan also reached out and gently grasped Shen Xirou's wrist. Then he gently placed his hand on Shen Xirou's pulse, carefully feeling her pulse.

However, at that moment, Shen Xirou's heart suddenly raced, and her face turned increasingly red, as if she were blushing.

Although Chen Xuan was a little puzzled, he listened intently to Shen Xirou's pulse, trying to find out what was wrong with her.

Unfortunately, Shen Xirou's increasingly rapid heartbeat made it difficult for Chen Xuan to continue.

"Ahem, Madam Shen, please don't be too nervous. If your heart is beating too fast, it will be difficult for me to see your problem!"

"Huh?!" Shen Xirou was so embarrassed by Chen Xuan's words that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

It's not that she insists on being like this, but she really hasn't seen outsiders for too long. Now, when facing men, especially handsome young men, her social anxiety has reached an unimaginable level!

"Um, Madam Shen, you really don't need to be nervous. You can breathe while I'm taking your pulse!" Chen Xuan immediately released Shen Xirou's wrist. She was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. He estimated that if he squeezed her for a little longer, she would faint.

"I...can I not get treatment?" Shen Xirou turned around and looked at She Jingxi pitifully.

"No, you've already come all this way, and Physician Chen has already taken your pulse. How can you give up now? Take a break and come back later!" She Jingxi refused on the spot.

Watching the interaction between the two, Chen Xuan thought that Madam Shen was too cute. If he were with her... he didn't know what would happen. No, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He had to find time to try it out!

Upon hearing She Jingxi's words, Shen Xirou looked at Chen Xuan with some difficulty.

"Madam Shen, please don't be nervous. I know your situation. Why don't you take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down?" Chen Xuan gently reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xirou took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to try deep breathing.

Gradually, her heartbeat slowed down, and her breathing became much more steady.

Then she gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand in front of Chen Xuan, and suppressed her nervousness.

Chen Xuan gently grasped Shen Xirou's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Soon, Shen Xirou's cheeks flushed slightly again, whether from nervousness or shyness, but thankfully not as much as before.

Seeing this scene, She Jingxi felt a little emotional. She knew that Shen Xirou had always been a very strong woman, but it was rare to see her blush now.

Chen Xuan carefully sensed the energy within Shen Xirou's body and discovered that her meridians were somewhat disordered and her energy was somewhat weak.

Chen Xuan released his hand and looked at Shen Xirou.

“Madam Shen, you do have some hidden injuries that haven’t fully healed yet. I can perform acupuncture on you, and then supplement with medication. You will recover quickly.”

"Really? That's wonderful!" She Jingxi was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"However, Madam Shen still has a significant problem!"

"What? What's the problem!" Shen Xirou was extremely nervous.

"You have a lot of pent-up emotions in your heart and chest! You have a very serious problem with emotional distress!" Chen Xuan said.

"What does this mean?" She Jingxi was a little confused.

"It means that Madam Shen has been in a very... depressed and sad mood for a long time. Over time, this will lead to this condition, which is very bad for her physical and mental health!"

"Then, what should we do?"

"To completely resolve this issue, Madam Shen may need to adjust her mindset. However, if Madam Shen doesn't mind, I can prescribe some medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi, which I hope will be helpful to you."

"Furthermore, Madam Shen, your mood has a great impact on your health. If you can maintain a cheerful mood, it will also be of great help in healing hidden injuries."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Physician Chen!" Shen Xirou gave Chen Xuan a deep look.

She never expected that the person in front of her could read her mood so well; this medical skill was truly remarkable!

"Alright, you should deal with the hidden injury as soon as possible!" She Jingxi urged.

"To treat Madam Shen's hidden injury, I will need to perform acupuncture on her. Madam Shen may experience some pain during the treatment, so please bear with it."

"It's alright. As long as this illness can be cured, I can endure any pain or suffering!" Shen Xirou said firmly.

"Okay, let's get started now!"
