Chapter 113 - Faint Like A Flat Road
"How the hell did you manage to screw up this badly?" Lee Tao asked as he glared at Liu Lanfen.
From the pulse rate he was reading, Lee Tao could not believe she would commit such an amateur mistake.
"Why did you harm your body like that?" Lee Tao continued to ask her.
"Your body is now a complete mess and I can tell you have cultivated the wrong method."
"I-I didn't mean to…"
"What do you mean you didn't mean to? With your resources, I doubt you would ever need to rush your cultivation base. So why did you even try that?"
Liu Lanfen lowered her head down as she tried to avoid his eyesight.
After all, she was too eager to get stronger and prove herself to others.
Alas, she had never expected that such a fast gain of power would come in such a consequence.
"I had already stopped cultivating the technique, but my body's condition remained and I didn't dare to inform the others about my injuries." Liu Lanfen said bitterly.
And she continued, "The pressure of being the only daughter of a powerful clan is immense. If I were to stagnate in cultivation or even weaker than others, then I would be the subject of causing humiliation to my father."
Lee Tao twitched his mouth.
In a huff, he flicked his finger on her forehead as he scolded, "Are you a fucking idiot? Just your status alone is enough to induce fear upon others."
"B-But that would be-"
"Don't you dare 'but' me when I'm scolding."
Lee Tao continued his scolding for a few minutes before telling her to go toward his bed.
"Go strip off all your clothes," Lee Tao ordered.
"S-Strip all my clothes?" Liu Lanfen was flabbergasted as she quickly covered her chest areas with both her hands.
"J-Just because I'm asking you for help does not mean I would offer my body to you. Not to mention, we are cousins…"
"..."
Lee Tao held a deadpan expression as he stood up and retrieved some medical paste.
"If you don't strip all your clothes, then how am I supposed to cure you?" Lee Tao asked calmly.
"Not to mention, I bet you already know that I cured Yao Meixiang, Jia Qiu, and Meng Xue. Hence you came today to apologize as an excuse since your true motive is asking me to cure you."
"I-I didn't use the apology as an excuse…" Liu Lafan said sheepishly.
"Enough, I don't care about your motive anyway. If you want to get cured then strip otherwise, the door is that way." Lee Tao said as he pointed at the exit.
Without further ado, Liu Lanfen could only clench her hand tightly as she slowly undressed her clothes.
Little by little, her smooth and white skin could be seen by Lee Tao.
"Y-You can't look at me with a perverted gaze… A doctor should never hold any lustful thoughts to their patient." Liu Lanfen said as she clutched onto her bra.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Rest assured, Liu Lanfen. Others might see you as an ice-cold beauty that they want to fuck every day and night. However, to me, you are just a little brat and hold zero sexual appearance." Lee Tao yawned.
What kind of beauty had he not seen in his life?
Too many to count that he could easily picture them in his mind.
Thus, Liu Lanfen is merely overthinking her sexual appearance and capability if she thinks she is worthy enough for him to be ogled at.
Meanwhile, Liu Lanfen felt somewhat angry by his response.
Even though she had warned him not to gaze at her in pervy eyes, she still secretly hoped to see him getting aroused.
After all, no beautiful woman in this world would not want to see others admiring them from afar.
"Tch, you better mean it then." Liu Lanfen said in a tsundere tone as she unhooked her bra and dropped it on the bed.
Her smooth back now faced toward Lee Tao as she covered her breast with her arms.
"Alright, this is going to be painful," Lee Tao said as he moved his chair closer to bed.
Tracing Liu Lanfen's backline with his finger, Lee Tao could tell she had maintained her skin pretty well.
"H-How are you going to cure me?" Liu Lanfen asked nervously.
She had tried to consume alchemy pills to subdue the pain and heat, but it never worked once. In fact, it actually made the situation worse as the heat intensified inside her body.
"The backlash of your cultivation has been on for way too long. Honestly, I'm surprised you could still walk away freely and attend classes." Lee Tao said as he infused his finger with some profound qi.
"I'm going to have to forcefully rewind your bone marrow and veins to the correct pathway. Thus, you will feel an indescribable amount of pain that would make you want to commit suicide." He warned in a serious tone.
Liu Lanfen nodded her head in understanding.
She clenched her fist tightly as her eyes brimmed with determination.
"I have already endured for this long… just a bit more pain will not falter me at all."
"Good, I like that confident tone. I hope you can still talk big once I'm done."
"I will not fail yo-"
Before Liu Lanfen could finish her words, Lee Tao had already begun the treatment.
"ARGH"
Liu Lanfen screamed in pain when Lee Tao's profound qi was injected inside her body.
The profound qi launched toward her bone marrow as it forcefully corroded the bone marrow enough to rotate it around.
With a twist, Liu Lanfen could feel her profound qi dissipating rapidly, almost like she was in a state of being a crippled.
"Khak," Liu Lanfen coughed up a mouthful of blood as she struggled to remain conscious.
'She's about to lose consciousness…' Lee Tao thought.
"Liu Lanfen, your breast is really not up to par, so it would be a shame to faint like a flat road, right?" He then said, agitating her on purpose.
