The medicinal bath was ready, and the air was filled with the fragrance of herbs. Long Aobing looked at his masterpiece with pride: "This is my family's secret recipe, containing thirty-six kinds of precious medicinal herbs, guaranteed to soften the scars to their optimal state!"
Mo Meigui stood to the side, her eyes fixed on Long Aobing's every move. Today, she was dressed in a simple nurse's uniform, neat and clean, allowing for easy movement.
Liu Qingrong took off her outer garment, standing in front of the medicinal bath wearing only her inner lining. Even through the veil, one could sense her tension and unease.
Qin Xiao said softly, "Don't worry, this is just the first step. Soon, you will be able to show your true face again."
Liu Qingrong nodded slightly, removed her veil, and slowly stepped into the medicinal bath. The warm medicinal liquid enveloped her battered body, and she let out a soft breath, seemingly relaxing after a long time.
Long Aobing instructed from the side: "Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let the medicine fully penetrate your skin."
Mo Meigui handed Long Aobing a cup of tea, her eyes carrying a warning. Long Aobing took it, sticking out her tongue: "Little jealous girl, I know my limits."
The medicinal bath lasted for an hour. When Liu Qingrong got out of the bath, her skin had become soft, and the previously stiff scars had also eased.
Song Zhixue prepared soft towels and clothes to help Liu Qingrong dry her body. She carefully checked the effects of the medicinal bath and nodded to Long Aobing: "The effect is good, the tissue has softened significantly."
Long Aobing puffed out her chest smugly: "Of course!"
Next was Qin Xiao's acupuncture session. Liu Qingrong lay on a specially made bed, while Qin Xiao stood beside her, holding silver needles in his hand.
"It will hurt a little, just bear with it," Qin Xiao said.
Liu Qingrong nodded: "I'm not afraid of pain. Over the past ten years, I've gotten used to all kinds of pain."
Qin Xiao did not respond, but instead began to concentrate on administering acupuncture. His movements were extremely precise, with each needle landing on specific acupoints on Liu Qingrong's face and body.
Mo Meigui handed over the silver needles, while Long Aobing stood by observing, nodding in praise from time to time: "As expected of my husband, this needle technique is truly superb!"
Mo Meigui glared at her fiercely.
Song Zhixue looked at Qin Xiao's acupuncture technique in surprise: "Mr. Qin's acupuncture skills far exceed my expectations. Some of these acupoints are ones I don't even recognize."
Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "This is an ancient cosmetic acupuncture technique that combines the principles of meridian unblocking and tissue regeneration."
Actually, this is a "god-level beauty acupuncture technique" provided by the system, a skill that Yun Yiyi randomly obtained last week. At the time, Yun Yiyi was frustrated, saying that this skill was useless in combat, but she never expected it to come in so handy now.
After the acupuncture treatment, Liu Qingrong's skin had a healthy blush, and the scars had become less grotesque.
"Rest for an hour, then proceed with the skin grafting surgery," Song Zhixue announced.
Qin Xiao walked out of the room and stretched in the hallway. Mo Meigui followed him out and handed him a glass of warm water.
"Master, you are very tired."
Qin Xiao shook his head: "It's alright."
At that moment, a system notification sounded in my mind.
[Ding! Host detected engaging in advanced medical activity. Reward: Medical Experience Points +100!]
Yun Yiyi's excited voice followed: "Brother Qin Xiao, I didn't expect you could actually use that 'useless' acupuncture technique so well! You're amazing!"
Qin Xiao responded in his mind: "This skill is very useful, thank you."
Yun Yiyi said shyly, "Actually... I have another good news! Because of your medical treatment, the system has unlocked a special skill slot! But... um... this skill is a bit strange..."
"What skill?"
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the "Perfect Memory Reshaping" skill! This skill allows you to guide medical procedures based on photos or memories of appearances, restoring the target's original appearance. Uses: 1/1]
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up: "Isn't this perfect for Liu Qingrong's surgery?"
Yun Yiyi excitedly said, "Yes, yes! But this skill can only be used once, and it disappears afterward. It was originally meant for the protagonist Ye Chen to save his confidante... but now it's yours!"
After a moment's thought, Qin Xiao decided to use this skill during the surgery.
An hour later, everyone regrouped in the operating room. Song Zhixue was already dressed in surgical scrubs, and Long Aobing had also changed into professional gear, looking unusually serious.
"Miss Liu, I need to know what you hope to achieve after restoration," Song Zhixue asked. "Do you have any photos for reference?"
Liu Qingrong was silent for a moment, then took out a yellowed photo from her bosom: "This is what I looked like ten years ago, when I was twenty."
The photo shows Liu Qingrong, who is bright and beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. Her elegant and refined temperament is unforgettable.
Looking at the photo, Qin Xiao silently activated the system skill "Perfect Memory Reshaping".
[Skill activated. Please remain focused during the surgery. The system will assist you in completing the facial reconstruction.]
The surgery officially began. Song Zhixue was in charge of implementing the skin grafting technique, while Long Aobing used special methods to guide spiritual energy to promote tissue regeneration. Qin Xiao, while administering acupuncture, kept the appearance in the photograph in mind, guiding the two in the direction of the operation.
The three worked together with remarkable coordination, like longtime partners. The surgery lasted four hours, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the last stitch was put in.
"Phase one is complete." Song Zhixue took off her mask, her forehead covered in sweat. "The results exceeded expectations, but two more surgeries are needed for a full recovery."
Long Aobing also showed signs of fatigue, which was rare for her: "I'm exhausted! Husband, you owe me a huge favor~"
