Ye Chen took a deep breath, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes, as if the life and death of Old Master Su were only a matter of his own mind.
He reached out, preparing to untie the clothes covering Old Master Su's chest and abdomen.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the fabric—
A sudden change has occurred!
Ye Chen abruptly withdrew his hand, as if burned by something invisible, his eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.
He looked again.
What should have been the old man's withered chest was now suddenly covered by a layer of constantly jumping and flashing, colorful squares in his eyes!
It looks exactly like an old TV screen with a poor signal.
Mosaic?
Ye Chen rubbed his eyes hard, trying to dispel the absurd hallucination.
However, when he looked again, the eerie mosaic not only did not disappear, but seemed to come alive, with more chaotic colors and a faster flashing frequency, completely obscuring the old man's body.
"who?!"
Ye Chen whirled around, his eyes sharp as knives, scanning everyone in the room. His voice was icy cold as he demanded, "Who's behind this?!"
His internal energy fluctuated slightly due to this sudden change, and an uncontrollable rage began to rise within him.
At such a critical moment of acupuncture treatment, how dare someone use such despicable means to interfere with him?
court death!
The air in the room froze instantly, and the core members of the Su family looked at each other, puzzled.
What they saw was Ye Chen staring at the old man's bare chest, his movements halted, his face grim as he asked a question.
Su Wanying was already extremely anxious, and when she saw Ye Chen stop what he was doing and instead act suspiciously, she became even more furious.
Her proud chest heaved violently with her rapid breathing, and her tone was filled with undisguised anger and questioning.
"Ye Chen!"
"Can you do it?"
"My grandfather is still waiting for you to save his life!"
Her voice was clear and bright, with a hint of foxy reproach, but at this moment it was more of annoyance at Ye Chen's delay.
Ye Chen's face darkened even more after Su Wanying's retort.
He suppressed his anger and the bizarre scene before him.
Even if he couldn't see the specific acupoints, he had an almost blind confidence in his years of medical expertise and his absolute control over the human body's structure.
Even with his eyes closed, he can pinpoint acupoints with unerring accuracy!
"Hmph, it's just a smokescreen."
Ye Chen snorted coldly, ignoring the glaring mosaic. Relying on muscle memory and familiarity with the human body's meridians, he gathered true energy at his fingertips, preparing to forcefully administer acupuncture.
Qin Xiao watched quietly from the side, the playful smile on his lips deepening.
The effects of [Absolute Territory (18+)] seem to be more interesting than expected.
Seeing Ye Chen's forced composure despite clearly having suffered a setback, Qin Xiao felt that he hadn't quite mastered the art of composure yet.
He needs to add more fuel to the fire.
Qin Xiao subtly moved a few steps closer to Su Wanying, instantly closing the distance between them.
He tilted his head slightly and whispered something in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
The warm breath brushed against Su Wanying's sensitive earlobe, causing her delicate body to tremble almost imperceptibly.
Su Wanying looked up at Qin Xiao in surprise, a hint of confusion and delight flashing in her eyes.
Why is this man being so proactive today?
"No... my grandfather is still in danger..."
Qin Xiao seemed to be tempting her:
"It's alright, he can cure it..."
It should be noted that although Qin Xiao accepted the Su family's marriage proposal, he had always maintained a polite distance from her and had never made such an intimate gesture.
Could it be...?
Su Wanying's heart suddenly raced, and an alluring blush spread across her cheeks.
She was already deeply in love with Qin Xiao, and now that she saw him being unusually "enthusiastic," she no longer cared about her grandfather on the sickbed or Ye Chen who was administering acupuncture.
She subconsciously moved closer to Qin Xiao, her slender fingers gently hooking the hem of his clothes at an angle unnoticed by anyone, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she were playing some secret and exciting game.
Qin Xiao felt the soft touch from his fingertips, his face remaining expressionless, but in his mind he was calculating the time.
Ye Chen was currently concentrating on using his so-called "Thirteen Ghost Needles".
The silver needles flew between his fingers. Although his vision was obstructed, he still accurately pierced each acupoint with his powerful control.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, showing that this was no easy task.
Just one more stitch!
As long as this last injection is administered, Old Master Su will be brought back to life, and Ye Chen will still be the omnipotent savior!
Just as Ye Chen concentrated his mind, preparing to deliver the decisive needle—
The subtle, intimate interactions beside him eventually drew some of his attention.
He glanced at it impatiently.
That one glance struck him like a thunderbolt!
Qin Xiao and Su Wanying were almost pressed together, and from their necks down to the parts of their vision that were obscured, there was an incredibly thick layer of frantically flashing mosaic!
The mosaic seemed to carry a mocking meaning, completely igniting his already suppressed anger!
What's going on?!
It's that damn mosaic again!
These two scoundrels, at the critical moment when I was saving lives, were actually whispering sweet nothings to each other, and then they were covered by this weird thing?!
Utter disgrace!
"puff--!"
Overwhelmed by rage, Ye Chen felt a sweet taste in his throat, and the true energy that had been barely maintaining balance within his body instantly became disordered and surged upwards!
