After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

After dinner, Ye Bai was summoned to the study by Qin Wanqing.

"Aren't you taking yourself too seriously? Do you think you have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qin family?"

"It's one thing for you to talk nonsense all the time, but to meddle in such an important matter as equity transfer, do you even know what that means?"

"Don't even mention that we're not together yet. Even if that day ever comes, you have no right to interfere in my affairs!"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face was frosty, her gaze was icy, and her words were utterly impolite.

"...You're being heartless. I was just trying to help you."

Ye Bai was somewhat speechless.

"You call that helping me? I think you're trying to collude with them to harm me!"

"Don't forget, whether or not you can become the Qin family's son-in-law is up to me!"

"No matter how much you try to please them, it won't help!"

Qin Wanqing sneered; she hated people who liked to play tricks the most.

Ye Bai said calmly, "What if I could really cure your leg?"

Qin Wanqing scoffed dismissively: "Even those famous doctors can't do it, are you sure you have that ability?"

"Of course there are. Doing it that way would severely damage my cultivation, and it would also..."

Ye Bai nodded, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"If you can really cure it, I'll give you a million!"

Before Ye Bai could finish explaining his predicament, Qin Wanqing interrupted him.

She was truly disgusted by the self-aggrandizing of this adopted son of the Ye family, and it seemed like a good idea to expose his true colors completely through this incident.

"make a deal!"

Ye Bai snapped to attention and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He wasn't afraid of anything except Qin Wanqing throwing money at him.

Especially since they smashed it so lavishly!

As for the so-called loss of cultivation, they are all insignificant in the face of Queen Qin's financial offensive.

"The reason your legs are paralyzed has nothing to do with your original fate of being a widow. Rather, it's because a master of esoteric arts tampered with your destiny..."

When it came to serious matters, Ye Bai's expression also became solemn.

"You mean, my paralysis wasn't caused by a natural disaster, but by human error?"

Qin Wanqing's gaze was cold; she was naturally intelligent and quick to understand.

Ye Bai nodded and said, "Yes, someone wants to harm you."

Qin Wanqing asked skeptically, "Can one's destiny be changed?"

Qin Wanqing was not surprised that someone wanted to harm her.

On the surface, Jingzhou appears peaceful, prosperous, and stable, but underneath, bloodshed and turmoil are brewing!

The power struggles among the four major families, the internal power struggles within the Qin family, and so on—there were simply too many people who didn't want her to sit on the throne of the Queen of Jingzhou.

Since Qin Wanqing came to power, she has faced countless dangers.

But she never expected that something as mysterious and elusive as destiny could be used as a means of attack.

"Some things can be changed, some things cannot. No matter how much I explain things about the Xuanmen sect, you still won't understand."

Ye Bai shook his head, not wanting to waste his breath.

"Heh, here we go again with your old tricks of charlatans and mystification. But if you can do it, why can't others?"

Qin Wanqing sneered, feeling increasingly disgusted.

The way this adopted son of the Ye family spoke always gave off a cocky and arrogant vibe.

"Well, I'm afraid no one else can do it. Even if you find the guy who tampered with your destiny, he can't change it back for you."

Ye Bai nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

All the Xuanmen sects under heaven are one family, although Ye Bai doesn't know most of the people in them.

But he was certain that in terms of Xuanmen techniques, those people were all no match for him.

Even if his master comes back, it's hard to say who is stronger now.

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, "Fine, since you think you're so capable, how about we make a bet?"

"No problem, what do you want to bet on?" Ye Bai asked with some curiosity.

Qin Wanqing took a deep breath and said, "If you can cure my leg, I'll give you two million! If you can't, get out of the Qin family immediately!"

She wasn't sure whether she could borrow the Ye family's fortune from this adopted son.

But she was certain of one thing: if she stayed with this guy any longer, she would probably be driven to her death by anger in less than a month!

"no problem."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and he agreed without hesitation.

I thought it would be good enough to make a million from this bet, but I never expected Qin Wanqing to raise the stakes, which was an unexpected surprise.

……

"Are you ready? Then I'm going to begin."

"Well, come on."

"It might hurt a little at first, but it will feel comfortable gradually."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not some clueless little kid, hurry up!"

"Then I'm going in..."

Inside the study, Ye Bai picked up a silver needle and slowly inserted it into an acupoint on Qin Wanqing's calf.

At first, Qin Wanqing didn't take it seriously, as she had done acupuncture before.

There will be some pain, but it's completely within tolerable limits.

But today, she realized she was wrong.

It's completely wrong!

A sudden surge of pain, unlike anything she had ever felt before, made Qin Wanqing's delicate body tremble, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"You're quite strong."

Seeing that Qin Wanqing's fair forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, yet she remained silent, Ye Bai was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that Qin Wanqing would cry and scream in pain, and he could take the opportunity to ridicule her.

"If you really can't hold it in, just cry out. Pain isn't a bad thing; it means your condition is better than I expected."

Ye Bai smiled and continued administering acupuncture.

Qin Wanqing has very beautiful legs.

Not only is there not an ounce of excess fat, but her skin is also white and straight, as if it were carved from a beautiful piece of jade.

Her skin was smooth and firm, so tender it looked like it could burst with moisture if you squeezed it.

Unfortunately, for Ye Bai, who has always believed that money is more desirable than women, tenderness and pity are just fleeting thoughts.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Wanqing's legs were covered with silver needles, making her look like a hedgehog, which was extremely frightening.

The Queen of Qin was in so much pain that she was covered in sweat and her cherry lips were bleeding from being bitten, but she endured it all.

Although Qin Wanqing's paralysis was caused by a change in her destiny, sitting in a wheelchair for a month also caused stagnation of blood and qi in her legs and blocked meridians.

Before addressing his destiny issue, he needed to use acupuncture to clear the blockages.

This process was truly agonizing.

Of course, he actually had a gentler approach.

For example, massage.

Unfortunately, Qin Wanqing absolutely refused.

Qin Wanqing would rather spend her whole life in a wheelchair than have a man touch her legs like that.

three days later.

"I...I can really stand up!"

Qin Wanqing slowly got up from the wheelchair, feeling the unfamiliar yet familiar solid touch under her feet, and her eyes couldn't help but get a little moist.

No matter how strong-willed she is, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid when she suddenly became paralyzed.

The blow to Qin Wanqing was especially devastating after she consulted renowned doctors across the country, only to find them all helpless.

As time went by, the last glimmer of hope gradually faded away, eventually turning into endless despair.

She hadn't believed Ye Bai when he claimed he could cure her leg.

He just wanted to use this opportunity to drive this detestable adopted son of the Ye family out of the Qin family.

Even if the outcome is bad, it can't be too bad.

But to her surprise, that guy who always seemed so carefree and irresponsible actually wasn't lying to her!

In just three days, she stood up!
