Chapter 224: Receiving Treatment for You (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Good. Memory is amazing. It’s normal that you failed to find the problem…, but Liu Suifeng, even Qingzhou don’t know anything about my memory, so please keep this secret between you and me. Don’t reveal it to anyone including Ouyang Chuan, understand?”

Long Xiaoyuan said with a severe countenance, who looked like a real emperor instead of a rogue.

Looking at Long, Liu nodded slowly, “I got it. Don’t worry, I don’t have a big moth.”

Long smiled, “Okay, I believe you.”

Liu was stunned, “You don’t want to get… the memory back?”

“Actually, it’s not as serious as you thought.” Long waved his hand, “I’m just a little dull in memory, for example, I need to think for a while before recalling things happened a long time ago, but those memories are not lost. The problem is that when I came to my sense, I was repellent to martial arts, and almost forgot… the basic method of learning and practicing internal force. But I can learn from you in secret. You’re not allowed to tell it to anyone, get it?”

Liu nodded reluctantly, “Alright. I’ll guide you to learn and practice internal force later, and you have to practice every day in the future.”

“No problem.” Long gave a nod, “Thanks.”

Liu shook his head, “No need. You’re a good emperor. If you want to thank me, you can give the rewards to the common people.”

“Eh?” Long looked at Liu in great surprise, “I don’t know you are so kind to the common people.”

Liu sneered, “There are a lot of things that you don’t know. Have a seat there.”

“Hmm.” Long nodded, “As a matter of fact, I had guessed what you asked Ouyang to do and why he asked me to take off my clothes. But I don’t want him to know the fact that I have no idea how to utilize my internal force. So I drove him away on purpose when he said tart words.

Liu was speechless, “You…”

Long shrugged his shoulders as if he was pretty innocent.

After a while, Ouyang came in, with the face being grim.

Liu blinked. He knew Ouyang was firm in speech but soft in heart, and the reason Ouyang came was to input his internal force to Long. In consideration of that Long didn’t want Ouyang to know his secret, Liu could only say, “Brother, I can handle things here. I need you to help me do another thing.”

“Eh?” Ouyang frowned, “What is it?”

“I need several more medicinal materials. I decided to add them in the medicated bath just now, but I didn’t prepare them in advance. You are the one I trust the most, so I want you to bring them back.”

Then Ouyang went to get the medicinal materials reluctantly.

After Ouyang left, Long gave a thumbs-up to Liu.

“You’re awesome.”

Liu rolled his eyes, “Alright, knock it off.”

After collating required medicinal materials quickly, Liu asked the shadow guardian safeguarding them outside to prepare the medicated bath.

Then Liu put the medicinal materials in the medicated bath.

“Go to bed. I’ll adjust your meridian first, then you have to take the medicated bath.”

“Hmm.” Long had made the decision, but he still felt nervous, “Will I feel very painful?”

Liu nodded seriously, “Yes, of course.”

Long gritted his teeth, “Alright, I’ll do it. But… what will happen if I move freely?”

“Don’t worry. You even can’t struggle as long as I’m here.”

After Long heard this, his face darkened, “Should I feel honored?”

Liu smiled, “It depends on how you think.”

With his lips curled, Long didn’t respond.

When the operation started…

Long only had one feeling, “It is really hard to bear for a man.”

Liu was adjusting meridian for Long.

Hearing Long’s self-mockery, Liu said, “Hmm, you still can speak, which is quite good. Save physical strength and relax a little.”

“I can’t control myself now. How can I relax?” Long gritted his teeth.

Liu smiled, “Alright. Be quiet.”

“Hmm.” Long ground his teeth after a short mumble.

That hard moment lasted for almost two hours.

Finally, Liu stopped. “Alright, you will not feel painful in the following acupuncture treatment.”

Long’s eyes turned red, which didn’t mean that Long wanted to cry. Actually, it was the result that Long tried hard to stay clear-minded.

Liu admired him a little, “Hang in there. We have come to the last step.”

With the lips trembling, Long hardly uttered a whole sentence. But he still said, “Rest assured. I’ll neither die nor pass out.”

When the acupuncture treatment was half-done, Liu felt the breath of Shi was getting close. Liu guessed Shi would come back when Long took the medicated bath, but he never expected Shi would return so fast.

But Liu didn’t worry that Shi would rush in, because Ouyang and Ying Feng safeguarded them outside the room.

As expected, Ouyang stopped Shi when Shi had a certain distance from the room.

“Suifeng was adjusting meridian for Long, which can’t be interrupted.”

Shi puckered his lips slightly, with cold lights flashing in his eyes. “When did they start?”

Without concealing the fact, Ouyang answered, “They started as soon as you left.”

Shi clenched his fists tightly.

After a while, Shi took a deep breath before slowly walking up to the door of the room. But Shi didn’t try to open the door.

Ouyang also didn’t stop Shi because he knew Shi would not act recklessly.

Liu focused on the rest work of acupuncture treatment in the room.

Liu operated so fast that Long didn’t feel painful this time. Long also had no idea that Shi had come back and was waiting outside the room.

When Liu put away silver needles and told Long that the acupuncture treatment was finished, Long responded, “I didn’t feel painful when the pain numbed my body.”

Liu gave him a smile, “You will feel comfortable when you take the medicated bath. I add some herbal medicines with the effect of relieving pain to make you feel better.”

Long curled his lips, “Hmm, thanks.”

If Shi listened carefully outside, he naturally could hear the conversation inside the room.

When hearing Long said the pain numbed the body, the light red of Shi’s eyes darkened. But Shi restrained himself because he didn’t want his efforts to end up in vain or let Long worry about him either.

Shi restrained and controlled his mood, not just for himself but for Long.

“Alright, I’ll help you to get in the bath bucket. I’ll pull you to your feet, and you need to walk yourself. Let’s do this.”

“Okay. I’ll make it.” Long responded.

Liu pulled Long to his feet. When Long stood on the ground, Long’s legs shivered, but he didn’t fall down with the support of Liu.

“Let me help you.”
