Chapter 64: Collapse
In the cramped sedan space, both of them could feel each other's breath. A woman's fragrance constantly pierced his nostrils, making Wu Rui's eyes somewhat different in color. Yang Xuan's charm was not something that Xu Niang could compare to; every smile and laugh was so charming and captivating, stirring men's heartstrings.
"...Wu Rui, where have you been all this time?" Yang Xuan finally broke the silence with a rather clichéd opening line.
"Suddenly had to leave Goose City for a while and couldn't make it on time to treat Xiao Mi's illness, really sorry about that." Can't help but say, Wu Rui's EQ isn't very high, why be so serious all the time?
As expected, Yang Xiang's bright red lips pursed lightly, but then shook her head and said: "Actually... I'm not only worried about Xiao Mi's condition, but also very worried about you."
"......thank you!" Wu Rui seemed to have heard nothing, but sincerely thanked him.
“……” Yang Xiang fell silent, she didn't know if Wu Rui really hadn't caught her hint or just didn't want to catch it. Her mood suddenly became a bit melancholic, but she just smiled lightly and changed the subject, asking: "You opened a clinic?"
"Right, but during this time I wasn't in E City, the clinic's matters were all taken care of by Xu Niang, and now I don't even know where the clinic is located." Wu Rui said with a mixture of laughter and tears, he was really worried that Xu Manli had opened the clinic in a remote area, this sudden task had disrupted Wu Rui's entire plan.
But he trusted Xu Manli, which made Yang Xuan a bit uncomfortable, and asked with a hint of resentment: "When are you opening for business? I'll send a congratulatory gift over with Xiao Mi."
"No need, it's a clinic, not a restaurant. It feels weird to celebrate the business is booming." Wu Rui declined with an awkward expression.
"… Pfft! I was too sudden." Yang Xuan heard this and let out a snort of laughter, instantly captivating the entire space with her charming and alluring presence, causing Wu Rui's heart to flutter.
As they chatted, the car stopped in a luxurious residential area. The two had just gotten out of the car when Xu Jie arrived, her face sullen as she stood between them. She sniffed Wu Rui's body like a cat and caught a whiff of perfume, which made her wrinkle her nose, but it wasn't overpowering - probably something she'd picked up in the car. This made her crack a smile.
Wu Rui rolled her eyes directly.
Yang Xiang also smiled awkwardly and said: "Let's go!"
Yang Xiang's house is on the fifth floor, a three-bedroom suite with a living room and kitchen, decorated quite well, tidy and clean, and there are many toys everywhere in the hall, almost like an amusement park, it can be seen that Yang Xiang loves her daughter very much.
"Xiaomi couldn't go out and play before, so I bought a lot of toys back, haha." Yang Xuan was a bit embarrassed.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm fine." Wu Rui smiled kindly.
"Mommy, are you back?" Xiao Mi might have heard the sound of the door opening and excitedly ran out, but when she saw that not only Mommy was home, but also Uncle Wu Rui was in her house, her face turned red with excitement as she rushed over and sweetly called out: "Uncle Wu Rui!"
"Is Xiaomi obedient?" Wu Rui smiled and picked up the little girl, asking a very silly question.
"Wu Rui uncle, Xiaomi is very well-behaved!" Xiaomi replied matter-of-factly, her serious expression making everyone in the room burst out laughing.
Xu felt affectionate and couldn't help but squat down to join in the fun, wiping Xiao Mi's face clean before asking: "Xiao Mi, do you still recognize Auntie?"
"Auntie?" Xiao Mi tilted her little head, looking puzzled, and asked back: "Aren't you Sister Manli? How did you become Auntie?"
"Don't call me sister from now on, do you know to call me auntie?" Xu Niang smiled and coaxed the little girl. The little girl was called Wu Rui's uncle, of the same generation as her mother. Now calling her sister would be lowering a generation, wouldn't it?
"Ah...... why?" Innocent Xiao Mi looked somewhat perplexed.
Yang Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and hastily came out to stop this topic: "Wu Rui, are you preparing for something?"
"No need, just do it in the hall!" Wu Rui also shook his head, aren't all women fond of being called tender? But he didn't think much about it and let Yang Xuan strip off the little girl's clothes. At the same time, he took out an ancient wooden box from the Taoist priest's bag and pulled out the Shennong Nine Needles one by one.
The last time he treated Xiao Mi, Wu Rui Xiu had not yet broken through, so he did not dare to treat Xiao Mi's absolute pulse easily. Now that he is in the Golden Elixir period of cultivation, he has absolute confidence.
However, with a firm grasp, there is always risk in treating congenital Tianxue's disease, so Wu Rui dare not be careless at all. Every move and every step is done with great care. Eight needles simultaneously seal Xiaomiao's heart meridian, only the last needle can be used freely.
First, use the true yuan to unblock the blocked heart pulse. If it were an ordinary absolute pulse, this treatment could have ended here. However, since this is a hereditary absolute pulse, the treatment has only just begun. The problem of repairing the hereditary genes is the most crucial part, and the process is extremely complicated and mentally exhausting. Fortunately, Wu Rui is currently in the golden elixir period of cultivation; otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete this treatment.
As it was Wu Rui's first time treating the absolute pulse, his movements were inevitably a bit awkward. The treatment took nearly an hour, and he was panting heavily as he withdrew the nine needles, then sat down heavily on the soft sofa, even his face turned pale.
"Wu Rui!" Two female voices sounded at the same time, Xu Niang and Yang Xuan simultaneously supported Wu Rui, asking in unison: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just need to rest for a bit. Let's send Xiao Mi back to rest first, and I'll be okay after a good night's sleep!" Wu Rui said casually, but in his heart, he felt a bit distressed. Originally full of confidence, he didn't expect that treating congenital Tian Sheng Ze would consume so much true yuan, and even more seriously, it consumed a huge amount of mental energy, making him feel somewhat tired.
Adding to the fact that he had been busy on the planet of Osen for ten days, although he had taken a break in between, but his mental energy was more exhausted. Now back on Earth, he didn't even have time to rest again, and naturally felt tired. He really wanted to sleep well, thinking so, Wu Rui leaned back very naturally, a soft and comfortable place, his eyelids drooping down a few more points.
"Nanny, take Xiaomi back to her room for a rest!" Yang Xuan let Wu Rui lean on her sensitive spot, first letting the nanny send her daughter back, before shifting her gaze to Wu Rui in her arms. Her eyes inadvertently flowed with thick tenderness and heartache.
"What else are you looking at? Hurry up and send him back to his room to rest!" Seeing Wu Rui so exhausted, Xu Manli was already unhappy, now seeing the pervert resting his head on the fox spirit's big bun, with a drunken look on his face, her voice naturally sounded a bit choked.
"Alright, send me back to my room!" Yang Xuan didn't care now, and with great difficulty, she helped Wu Rui up and together with Xu Niang, they sent Wu Rui into the adjacent bedroom.
