She bit her red lips. "Can you really cure me?"
Chen Xiao replied coldly, "I don't want to repeat myself. If you don't want the treatment, you don't have to get it."
In the end, Zhang Yaqing decided to take a gamble. "Alright, I'll do as you say… but be gentle. I'm afraid of pain."
She held onto the chair and awkwardly bent over, presenting her round, perky buttocks.
It had to be said, this woman wasn't just beautiful. Her incredible waist-to-hip ratio and the perfect curve of her back could easily spark an intense desire in any man to conquer her!
Chen Xiao swallowed hard.
"Is this okay?"
Zhang Yaqing felt an inexplicable shyness. As a woman of noble status, she'd had limited contact with men growing up, let alone any physical intimacy. Had she really, as if possessed, agreed to Chen Xiao's outrageous request? Feeling his brazen gaze sweep over every inch of her, her entire body tensed, her thighs trembling slightly. The shame of being so completely exposed to his eyes was overwhelming...
"A bit higher," Chen Xiao instructed, raising his palm. The feel... wasn't bad at all!
A warm current flowed from his palm into Zhang Yaqing's body. A surge of warmth washed over her, mingled with a sharp sting of pain, causing her to bite her lip and let out a soft moan.
The chill in her body was largely dispelled. Her lower abdomen felt especially toasty, an unprecedentedly comfortable sensation.
"Is this okay now?" she asked, unconsciously lifting her hips a little higher.
Chen Xiao didn't bother to reply. He focused his strength into his palm, patting her as he transferred the energy. This was the Innate Yang Power he had developed through his cultivation of the Tianyang Jue. It was utterly masculine and potent, the perfect counter to Zhang Yaqing's cold ailment.
The barrage of stinging pain accompanied by the pervasive warmth soon brought a sheen of sweat to Zhang Yaqing's delicate body. Her thin clothes clung to her frame, her pale skin peeking through the fabric.
Zhang Yaqing realized he was toying with her on purpose. The harder he struck, the more warmth flowed into her. When his strikes were light, the effect was negligible.
A sense of unfulfillment washed over her. Swallowing her pride, she murmured, "You can hit harder. I can take it…"
Chen Xiao asked with a smile, "Didn't you ask me to be gentle just a moment ago?"
Her gaze was pleading. "Oh, come on, be a dear. Use more force... I'm begging you…"
"Fine. I'm in a hurry, anyway," Chen Xiao said, raising his hand.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yaqing lay sprawled over the chair like a boneless heap, drenched in fragrant sweat.
The provocative pose, combined with the faint, feminine fragrance that filled the room, made Chen Xiao's breath hitch.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the stirring in his heart. "The treatment is over. I'll write you a prescription. Take it for three days, and you'll be permanently cured."
Zhang Yaqing turned her body around. Her buttocks throbbed with pain, but she could feel that the deep, internal cold was gone, replaced by a pleasant warmth.
Although the process had been humiliating, she found she didn't mind the feeling. In fact, she'd even enjoyed it a little. Moreover, she was extremely satisfied with the results!
She rose lazily to her feet, walked over to Chen Xiao, and hooked her arms around his neck. "Mr. Zhang, you've cured my illness. What kind of reward would you like? How about… I offer you my body in return? You've nearly spanked my butt raw, so you have to take responsibility for me!"
"I have a wife," Chen Xiao stated flatly.
"Is your wife better-looking than me?"
"Yes!" Chen Xiao was certain. Though one woman was coolly elegant and the other was enchantingly fiery, neither was inferior to the other in terms of temperament or beauty.
Zhang Yaqing, who had always been supremely confident in her own looks, naturally didn't believe him. "Who is she?"
Chen Xiao said nonchalantly, "Luo Qingli."
"Luo... Luo Qingli?" Zhang Yaqing was stunned.
Luo Qingli. Along with herself, she was known as one of the Twin Belles of Yuncheng City, and Luo Qingli was hailed as the number one beauty of Yuncheng. Zhang Yaqing had never accepted this, believing herself to be her equal in every way.
The only difference was her methods. She was far more ruthless than Luo Qingli, having taught harsh lessons to many of her suitors. That was the only reason the title of "Number One Beauty" had gone to Luo Qingli instead.
And this time, her move against the Luo Group was specifically to make things difficult for Luo Qingli! To think that Chen Xiao was actually Luo Qingli's husband...
This made her even more interested.
Her gorgeous eyes locked onto Chen Xiao, a sudden competitive urge flaring within her! She pushed Chen Xiao onto the sofa, crossing her slender legs over his waist. Her bewitching face drew close. "I hear Luo Qingli is frigid... Why don't you try me instead?"
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, his gaze raking over her body. "Are you playing with fire?"
