AST 2106 - How can you still be so alluring, even without a man? (1/2)

Qing Shui could feel himself sweating. It had been such a long time since a person last called him that. He said a bit nervously, “Ahem, I have heard people claiming that Palace Mistress seems to know a thing or two about the art of healing. I would like to invite you over to the Northern Emperor City to open a clinic with me.”

Hearing Qing Shui’s words, Nuo Lan looked at Qing Shui curiously, “You also know about the art of healing?”

Qing Shui nodded as he saw the woman’s shocked expression, “Yes, I do know a little bit about it. In fact, I have been running my own clinics for a long time.”

Nuo Lan was unconvinced by Qing Shui’s words. She could have taken it if he had only said that he knew about the art of healing, but to her, it was almost impossible that a Battle God Inheritor would keep running a clinic. Yet now, that was what he was suggesting her to do with him. Thus, for a moment, she was at a loss on whether she should believe him or not.

“Can you give me a reason why you want to open a clinic? Do you plan to only open it for a short period of time?” Nuo Lan asked after a moment of thought.

“No. The opposite, actually. But usually, when I first opened a clinic, I will stay in that particular area first until I can find someone to take over it. Some of them are my friends, while others are my disciples. In any case, I think it’s safe to assume that I will be staying in the Northern Emperor City for a long period of time.” As Qing Shui was saying this, he started thinking about all of his journeys which had ultimately led up to where he was now.

Upon hearing Qing Shui’s words, Nuo Lan was intrigued. She then nodded, “Alright, opening a clinic with you wouldn’t a problem, but you must show me some of your medical skills.”

“That is fine by me. How do you plan on testing my skills?” Qing Shui smiled. It would go well, so long as she agreed to it. After all, it wasn’t an easy task to look for a partner in such a short time, let alone a woman this strong. Thus, he wouldn’t need to worry about a lot of things.

“Why don’t you try to examine my body and see if there are any problems with it?” Nuo Lan spoke.

Qing Shui nodded and gestured her that he wanted to help her feel her pulse. Without any hesitations, Nuo Lan let out her pale hand for Qing Shui.

Qing Shui must say that the woman’s body was functioning well. Even though he could still help her remove some of the impurities to enhance the functions of her body and increase her lifespan, since these weren’t obvious, Qing Shui hesitated for a while and eventually answered, “Your body is in good health.”

“So you mean to say that there is nothing wrong with me?” Nuo Lan asked further.

“If you insist on making me point out a problem, it will be your inconsistent menstruation each month. Your Yin-yang Energy is a bit imbalanced.” Qing Shui felt that this was only a minor problem.

Nuo Lan was surprised. She then glanced at Qing Shui with an unnatural look, “Hmph, not bad.”

Even though she didn’t consider her problem to be that serious, she had yet to figure out any ways to cure it. Putting aside the physicians capable of healing it, not many people could even tell what her problem was. The reason was that she understood well that depending on the patients themselves, her illness could either be treated easily, or it could also be very tough.

“Do you have any ways of treating it?” Nuo Lan asked.

“Your problem is caused by an imbalance between your Yin and Yang Qi. Your Yang Qi is too concentrated, causing you to have insufficient Yang Qi. There are two ways of solving this, the first method is for you to channel some Yang Qi into your body. Alternatively, you can also release your Yin Qi to balance out the two elements. It seems you may not have enjoyed your life with your husband.” Qing Shui said in a serious tone.

Qing Shui knew that she was single. This was her punishment for calling him a little boy back then.

Naturally, Nuo Lan was able to interpret Qing Shui’s words. She glared at Qing Shui with an angry look, “Little boy, I am still single.”

Qing Shui looked at Nuo Lan in shock, “I didn’t really expect a person to be so alluring even without a man.”
