A good girl
Tomorrow, I'll follow Leng Yue's instructions, drawing the natural force from the soles of my feet into my body, flowing it through my calves, knees, thighs, torso, and finally to the top of my head. From there, it'll flow through my arms and out through my palms. It's working. This force is incredibly gentle and continuous, and even more amazingly, it doesn't require any internal energy to be expended.
But after a while, he began to feel dizzy. Mingri had to stop and refocus his breathing. He discovered that while this technique didn't damage his internal energy, it was very demanding.
Looking at the person lying on the bed, even though she had disguised herself as Madam Yuzhu, she still haunted him.
"Compared to Hua Tuo," Sima Changfeng walked in, "She really doesn't know martial arts, not at all. Could we have guessed wrong?"
"Perhaps we're overthinking it," Ouyang Mingri said. "She told me a method, and I've just tried it. It really doesn't require any internal energy."
"It seems that we have overthought it." Sima Changfeng said.
Mingri nodded and said, "Brother Sima, you stay here with her. I'll take my leave now."
"Thank you very much."
(Details: Leng Yue uses quantum touch therapy here. The e-book can be found online, so it's a public resource. The energy guidance method is based on the description in the original book. The method is introduced in the novel only to serve the plot. The basic usage in real life is certainly not as powerful as described in the novel, but it is still suitable for daily treatment of physical discomfort. Professional touch therapists have a wide range of treatments. If you want to become a professional touch therapist, you must obtain a certificate in the United States!)
Ouyang Mingri walked out of the room and saw the "Goddess Dragon" sitting on a stone bench, gently stroking the Phoenix Blood Sword that was shining with cold light.
"Swords and knives have no eyes, so be careful, girl." Ouyang Mingri said.
The dragon goddess turned around and said with a smile, "Sir, please take a seat."
Ouyang Mingri bowed and said, "I apologize to the young lady."
"Is it enough to apologize just by saying it with sweet words?" The dragon goddess was relentless.
"What do you think, young lady? How about I have a few drinks with you?" Ouyang Mingri asked with a smile.
"I'm not good at drinking, sir, please make some midnight snacks for me." said the dragon goddess.
"Yes, sir." Ouyang Mingri bowed and said with a smile.
Soon, two plates of snacks and a pot of tea were placed on the stone table. Ouyang Mingri leisurely poured the tea and handed a cup to the Dragon Goddess.
"To be able to eat and admire the moon with Sai Hua Tuo is one of the greatest pleasures in life," said the goddess dragon.
Yes, on such a quiet night, having a midnight snack with Miss Shangguan, watching the stars, and chatting about their hearts, has always been Ouyang Mingri's greatest wish. How wonderful it would be if they could temporarily put aside the right and wrong of the martial arts world, not worry about the love and affection of swords, and just sit quietly together and talk.
Ouyang Mingri was lost in thought.
"Sai Huatuo, I'm sorry for making you sad." said the goddess dragon.
"No, I know you are not Miss Shangguan, because she would not be so gentle when speaking to me." Ouyang Mingri said.
"Compared to Hua Tuo..."
"Hey," Ouyang Mingri interrupted her with a gesture, "Let's not talk about this. Come, I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to the young lady."
The dragon goddess drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, she played with the teacup in her hand and said slowly, "What happened tonight has made me understand something."
"What do you understand?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
"I don't have any martial arts skills, so perhaps it's not appropriate for me to keep watch alone. If someone really attacks me, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as I am today."
Ouyang Mingri asked, "Miss, are you really not angry at all?"
The dragon goddess asked back, "Why are you angry?"
Ouyang Mingri was speechless for a moment, and whispered, "Young lady, you are so wise and righteous. I can't believe I am inferior to you."
"Young Master, you are too modest. It is human nature for you to doubt me. Since it is human nature, why should I be angry? Besides, if I am really an enemy rather than a friend, instead of exploring my origins, you might as well think more about how to protect yourself, right?" said the dragon goddess with a smile.
"What the young lady said is absolutely right." Ouyang Mingri said.
"When will she wake up?" asked the dragon goddess.
"If we use your method, I believe it will be done in ten days. I have tried that method, and although it does not consume internal energy, it is quite tiring. From now on, I will keep watch with you tomorrow. Firstly, it will be safer; secondly, you and I can take turns to help her heal her wounds, so she won't have to suffer too much alone." Ouyang Mingri said.
"Very good." The dragon goddess was very satisfied with the result.
The dragon goddess drew out the Phoenix Blood Sword again, but this time only a few inches from the scabbard, staring intently at the pink-purple sword light.
"Miss, are you so interested in this Phoenix Blood Sword?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
"I heard that swords have feelings. Do you think I, the owner of the Phoenix Blood Sword, will fall in love with the owner of the Dragon Soul Sword?" asked the goddess dragon with a smile.
"That's something I'm afraid you'll have to ask your heart," Ouyang Mingri said with a smile. "However, strictly speaking, you're not the owner of this Phoenix Blood Sword."
"I will not fall in love with him," said the dragon goddess, "because human feelings are not determined by swords."
Ouyang Mingri sighed softly and said self-deprecatingly, "I used to think so too, but facts speak louder than words."
"My opinion is somewhat different from yours, sir." said the dragon goddess.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Mingri said with a smile.
"Swords do have feelings, but if people are not truly attracted to each other, relying solely on swords as a medium is far from enough." said the dragon goddess.
"Miss, what you mean is that they are not only separated by swords, but also truly love each other?" Ouyang Mingri asked.
"Have you noticed that they look a lot like each other?" the dragon goddess asked with a smile.
"Indeed, he is just as cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Ouyang Mingri said.
"She is cold, so you want to warm her, but what will happen if the ice is heated?" the dragon goddess continued to ask.
Ouyang Mingri smiled lightly and said, "Young lady, your words are truly sincere and heartfelt."
"Because we are the same kind of people, we can guess each other's intentions with just a glance and a few words; because we are the same kind of people, we can better understand each other's confusion and persistence." said the goddess dragon.
"What the young lady said is absolutely right. If it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it." Ouyang Mingri sighed.
"There are so many beautiful women in the world, don't be a fool and try to force one." The goddess dragon continued.
"What else can I ask for now? I just hope she can be happy." Ouyang Mingri said with a wry smile.
"As a close friend, I believe she also hopes that you can be happy." said the goddess dragon.
Ouyang Mingri sighed, "It's hard to undo what's been done."
"Young Master is still young."
The Dragon Goddess ignored Ouyang Mingri's expression that said, "I'm not even a little younger than you," and said, "What truly influences a person isn't the events themselves, but their mood. What happened is just what happened, but your perspective on it is another matter. Take your father, for example—in the eyes of others, he did many wrong things, but from his perspective, perhaps he didn't think he had done anything wrong, but rather that he was an innocent victim."
Speaking of his father, Ouyang Mingri's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, and remained silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "I have a lot of resentment towards my father."
"That's because you love him." said the goddess dragon.
Ouyang Mingri sighed.
"Has your father never done anything that made you happy, but only sad?" asked the dragon goddess.
"That's not the case. In fact, ever since I met him, his fatherly love has always moved me. Even though he always hurts my friends, I just can't abandon him. Sometimes, I hate myself, hate myself for having such a father, hate him for treating my friends like this, and... abandoning me." Ouyang Mingri said.
"But all this is over. He once abandoned you, but you are no longer the helpless baby you were. He once hurt your friends, but he has gone mad now. No matter how unforgettable these past events are, they are all in the past. He is now..." The dragon goddess changed the subject, "What happened is just what happened, and your perspective on it is another matter."
Ouyang Mingri pondered for a moment and said in surprise, "So I've been holding on to past hurts, causing myself so much pain! Ha, a knot in my heart that's been there for over 20 years was untied by just a few words from you. You're truly amazing! Ouyang Mingri admires you."
"It's not that I'm great, but that you possess a unique talent for wisdom." The Dragon Goddess smiled and said, "Since your father's affairs are like this, matters of the heart are probably self-explanatory."
"Yes, there are always beautiful women in the world. Since Miss Shangguan and Brother Sima have married, I should sincerely bless them instead of feeling sad alone. Although Mingri is not talented, he is by no means an ordinary person. I believe that God will not treat me unfairly." Ouyang Mingri said with a smile.
"If you can think this way, you won't be sad." The dragon goddess said with a smile.
"Thank you, young lady. Come, I'll toast you." Ouyang Mingri raised his glass.
"please."
In front of the window, under the moon, in his room, Ouyang Mingri couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When he thought of his father and Shangguan Yan again, he suddenly found that the depression in his heart had disappeared.
"She is a good girl." Ouyang Mingri thought.
