Chapter 315: The Formulation is Nearing Completion

The moon passed its zenith, and a cool wind began to rise.

In Jiang Yu's room on the second floor.

Two pale bodies, one atop the other, were tangled together, letting out occasional muffled groans.

Chen Erbao felt like he was about to drown. His face was covered in water.

'Who would've thought Jiang Yu was a regular Water Dragon King!'

He decided he couldn't drag this on any longer.

So he simply pulled Jiang Yu up, stood on the bed, held the back of her head, and began to thrust wildly.

"Nghh... nghh... nghh..."

His thrusts were so deep they hit the back of her throat several times, making Jiang Yu gag. But Chen Erbao held her fast; she couldn't break free. All she could do was desperately use her tongue to help him.

Finally, with a last series of frantic thrusts, a tingling numbness shot up from the base of Chen Erbao's spine. A scorching flame roared out, and in an instant, Jiang Yu became a cream puff.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."

After he withdrew, Jiang Yu coughed a few times and leaned over the side of the bed, about to spit it out.

"Don't spit it out. You have to swallow it to treat your illness. Be good!"

Chen Erbao stopped her.

Under Chen Erbao's serious gaze, Jiang Yu reluctantly swallowed a few times, forcing down all the Essence Milk that filled her mouth.

Miraculously, the moment the Essence Milk entered her body, it suppressed all the Ice Cold Qi, sealing it within Jiang Yu's Dantian. A warm current spread through her entire body, bringing a healthy blush to her face.

And with that, her mind cleared completely.

Chen Erbao watched Jiang Yu, a trace of milky-white cream still at the corner of her mouth, and felt a secret thrill.

'Even though things had gotten to this point in a muddle, Jiang Yu was basically his now. He had branded her as his own, molded her into his shape.'

'Harem, plus one!'

Chen Erbao took a tissue, wiped the corner of Jiang Yu's mouth, then got off the bed and swept her up in his arms.

"You... what are you doing?"

Jiang Yu was fully lucid now. She shyly covered her chest, her large, fluttering eyes avoiding Chen Erbao's gaze.

"Time for a shower. Unless you want to sleep like this?"

Chen Erbao said seriously.

Jiang Yu fell silent, allowing Chen Erbao to carry her into the bathroom.

As she watched Chen Erbao carefully take the showerhead and rinse every inch of her skin, something deep inside Jiang Yu stirred.

'No one had ever treated her so gently!'

Because of her strange illness, Jiang Yu had been extremely introverted her whole life. Other than her parents, only her teachers had ever been so kind to her.

'But that was the care of an elder. Only Chen Erbao... he was the only one who had ever been this intimate with her!'

After washing her upper body, Chen Erbao crouched down and aimed the showerhead toward Jiang Yu's secret grove.

"Ah...!"

The jet of water on that delicate, secret place made Jiang Yu's legs go weak, and she nearly collapsed.

He steadied her against the wall and carefully used his fingers to part her folds, cleaning her thoroughly, inside and out.

After they were both clean, Chen Erbao grabbed a towel, dried Jiang Yu, and helped her back to the bedroom.

"It's late. You should get some rest. I'll think of another way to treat your condition. It shouldn't act up again for the time being, but if you feel any signs of a flare-up, call me."

Chen Erbao tucked her in and said, standing by the bed.

Jiang Yu kept her head down, her voice barely a whisper. "Are... are you okay?"

She furtively pointed to Chen Erbao's Stabilizing Needle, which was still standing ramrod straight.

Chen Erbao sighed. "Nothing to be done. We can't truly unite my yin and yang with yours, so this will have to do for now."

'If he had taken her virginity while she was in that dazed state, she'd probably feel terrible about it later.'

Jiang Yu fell silent upon hearing this.

She might be introverted, but she wasn't some naive little girl who didn't understand anything.

As a Doctor of Medicine, her store of knowledge was even greater than Chen Erbao's!

When she saw Chen Erbao get dressed and prepare to leave, she suddenly felt a pang of reluctance.

"Divine Doctor Chen..."

Chen Erbao turned to look at her.

"What is it?"

"It's nothing... Thank you for tonight!"

Jiang Yu clutched the blanket to her chest, her face blushing as she spoke.

"..."

'This girl... I take advantage of her and she says thank you!'

Chen Erbao sighed to himself, gave a small wave, and walked out the door.

As for Jiang Yu, she stared at the empty room, a flicker of loneliness in her eyes.

...

After leaving Jiang Yu's place, Chen Erbao checked downstairs and saw that Fang Yi and Song Yue's room was still empty.

'Where did that master and disciple go? It's so late. Don't tell me they went into the city to look for some fun?'

Chen Erbao thought that was unlikely.

'Fang Yi is getting on in years; the spirit is probably willing, but the flesh is weak.'

'And Song Yue seems too honest to be that kind of guy.'

He regretted not asking Jiang Yu where they were.

After a moment's thought, Chen Erbao decided to head over to the village clinic to check.

'It's so late, they can't possibly still be working...'

He quickly arrived at the village clinic. Even from a distance, he could see the lights were still on.

'They really are working?'

'Did someone in the village get sick this late at night?'

Ever since Chen Erbao had set up the Spirit Gathering Array, the very air in the village had improved significantly.

This was due to the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi.

Even though they weren't in the center of the Array, over time, the health of the Bailong Village residents was bound to improve continuously, and the children would grow more intelligent as well.

As he reached the clinic door, Chen Erbao overheard Fang Yi and Song Yue talking.

"Teacher, this herb is too pungent. A little less..."

"Mm, right. And a bit more dried tangerine peel to make the fragrance last..."

"..."

Chen Erbao was left speechless.

'These two!'

'What's driving them so hard?'

'I'm not even paying them overtime. Do they really need to be here this late researching perfume formulas?'

Chen Erbao pushed the door open and went inside. He found the two of them completely engrossed in their work, heads bowed over a desk, completely oblivious to his arrival.

The table was covered with a dazzling assortment of fragrant Chinese medicinal herbs—the very ingredients for Chen Erbao's modified Fragrance Concentration Pill.

"Elder Fang, still busy so late?"

Chen Erbao spoke up.

Startled by his voice, the two men looked up.

"Divine Doctor Chen, your timing is perfect! We've been working day and night on the perfume formula and have finally made some headway!"

Elder Fang picked up a small bowl of pale blue liquid from the side and handed it to Chen Erbao, his face beaming with pride.

Seeing their earnest expressions, Chen Erbao took the bowl and brought it to his nose for a sniff.

A unique, botanical fragrance washed over him, making him feel as if he were standing in a bamboo grove. A faint, clean scent lingered in the air—elegant, but not overpowering.

'It wasn't quite what he'd imagined, but compared to the other perfumes on the market, it was already quite good!'

When they saw Chen Erbao nod in satisfaction, excited expressions bloomed on their faces.

"Divine Doctor Chen, now all we need to do is find a way to make the fragrance more long-lasting and more unique, and we'll be done!"

Chen Erbao put the bowl down and spoke to them seriously. "Gentlemen, if this is successfully developed, you will both definitely get a share of the profits."

"We don't need the money," Elder Fang said with a solemn expression. "We only hope that when you sell it, you'll state that the product is made from pure Chinese medicine. That would be satisfaction enough for me!"

"No problem!"

Chen Erbao agreed.

'He had a responsibility to promote Chinese medicine, too!'
