Chapter 253: Chapter 253

Moreover, Pei Shu’er also found that Tang Zan’s complexion was much paler than usual.

Di Yi knelt on one knee and reported: "Master, this person was sent by Tao Mingxuan."

Tang Zan’s face looked terrible, and he sneered.

Pei Shu’er had a face of "it turned out to be so".

In the Tazi Camp, the only one who hated her this much was Tao Mingxuan.

Pei Shu’er was carried back to the tent, and as soon as she entered, Tang Zan ordered someone to draw a bath for her, letting her soak in the tub to relieve the chill.

Tang Zan guarded outside the tent, occasionally calling her name, seemingly afraid she would fall asleep.

After soaking for a while, Pei Shu’er got up, dressed, and called someone to carry the water out.

When Tang Zan came in, Pei Shu’er noticed his clothes were half-dry, probably dried by his body heat, with the night wind outside being so chilly.

She sighed, "You should take a bath; I’ll wait outside for you."

But Tang Zan held her hand and said in a deep voice, "I don’t need a bath."

Pei Shu’er said, "You soaked in water for so long tonight, and the cold wind blew for so long; you’ll definitely catch a cold tomorrow."

Tang Zan replied, "I won’t."

Pei Shu’er sighed and called Di Yi.

"Bring the bath water for your master."

Tang Zan said, "Then you must not leave."

Pei Shu’er nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t leave."

But she didn’t expect that when Tang Zan said not to leave, he meant not to leave the tent.

She watched as Tang Zan peeled off his clothes, revealing a chest full of scabs and whip marks.

She sighed, what kind of sin did the original master commit?

Moreover, she noticed Tang Zan’s symptoms were very unusual at the moment, looking akin to someone who has gone mad from practice.

Pei Shu’er said, "How about I make you a medicinal bath, and then acupuncture your meridians? Have a good sleep tonight, and I’ll treat your leg tomorrow."

Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er and nodded.

Tang Zan did not completely undress, sitting in the tub in his underwear, while she added several medicinal herbs into the bath. After disinfecting the silver needle, she pricked Tang Zan’s meridians.

But Pei Shu’er noticed that Tang Zan didn’t make a sound the whole time, truly a tough guy.

Just his face was even paler than at the beginning.

If someone else were here, they would probably be scared and stop Pei Shu’er from the acupuncture.

Fortunately, there was only her and Tang Zan.

Tang Zan could endure it, even though he was in so much pain that he could die, he still did not make a sound.

This acupuncture session would last for the time of burning an incense stick.

When the acupuncture of the meridians on the back was complete, Pei Shu’er would move to the front, first helping Tang Zan regulate his qi, since the Inner Strength within him was chaotic.

Tang Zan said to Pei Shu’er, "Come here."

Pei Shu’er put down the medicinal herbs, thinking Tang Zan was asking her to do something. When she reached the side of the tub, Tang Zan pulled her into the bath with him.

Tang Zan held her in his arms, his head resting on her shoulder.

He was in such pain that his veins were bulging, looking somewhat twisted, yet even so, he was still the sickly handsome man.

He lowered his voice, his magnetic voice filled with suppression whispered in her ear, causing Pei Shu’er’s body to go numb.

"Pei Shu’er, hold me, I am in too much pain."

Pei Shu’er naturally knew this acupuncture technique was very painful, specifically targeting blocked meridians in reverse. The pain could make one want to destroy the world.

Anyway, being a human-shaped pillow was not impossible.

She obediently sat in the tub, snuggling in Tang Zan’s embrace.

His back was covered in silver needles, so she dared not touch his back, only gently took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Tang Zan, embracing Pei Shu’er, inhaled the light floral scent from her body, her warm body temperature, and soft figure. His tremor caused by pain seemed to lessen.

As time passed, the coldness within him was dispelled, and the pain from meridian blockage was slowly easing.

Until the pain completely disappeared, Tang Zan was reluctant to let go of Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er struggled a bit, as if she had calculated the time properly.

"It’s okay now, I’ll change to another needle technique for you."

"This needle technique won’t hurt when applied, but it will be very painful once removed, especially your leg."

Tang Zan nodded, already mentally prepared.

When he saw Pei Shu’er move to the front, he was dumbfounded.

The tent was lit with torches and charcoal fire, clearly illuminating Pei Shu’er’s figure.

It’ll make any man who sees her feel moved.

Pei Shu’er said, "Stay here, I’m going to change clothes."

Tang Zan had another tent beside them, she wanted to go there to change; otherwise, being wet , though she wasn’t cold, she was uncomfortable.

But as soon as she was about to leave, Tang Zan stopped her.

"Change behind me, I won’t turn around. If you go out, the other soldiers might see you."

Pei Shu’er nodded lightly, believing Tang Zan’s words, trusting his character.

She removed the wet clothes piece by piece, and Tang Zan could hear the sound of fabric rustling behind him, so clearly in the quiet night.

He indeed honored his promise and did not turn around.

However, before him, Pei Shu’er’s shadow was perfectly revealed.

The girl’s figure was perfect, her chest full and shapely, accentuating her slender waist.

Her legs were straight and thin, and he couldn’t help but imagine Pei Shu’er’s fair skin, and thinking about it made his blood rush uncontrollably down.

Pei Shu’er changed clothes quickly, yet it felt interminably long to him, even Pei Shu’er’s quiet breathing seemed like hooks reeling him in.

Pei Shu’er changed into a gauze dress, the loose flowing skirt perfectly obscured her figure.

She walked from behind, taking the sterilized silver needles, and began acupuncture on Tang Zan’s front meridians.

Just as Pei Shu’er said, there was no pain.

After inserting the needles, Pei Shu’er manipulated them, using her Inner Strength to make the silver needles tremble continuously.

Until half a stick of incense later, Pei Shu’er pressed down gently on the needles, stopping the vibrations, and then pulled them out.

With the first needle removed, Tang Zan felt a slight pain, and as more needles were removed, the pain intensified.

Eventually, his body instinctively curled up, as this pain surpassed the previous one.

Especially his foot, he felt it was more painful than being bitten by a wolf.

He was in such agony that he couldn’t speak.

Fearing he might drown, Pei Shu’er quickly called Xuan Liu and Di Yi. The source of this content ɪs ⓝovelFire.net

"You two change his clothes."

With this in mind, Pei Shu’er shoved a handkerchief into his mouth to prevent him from biting himself or others due to the pain.

After Tang Zan’s clothes were changed, he was placed on the bed.

The bed was filled with the faint fragrance from Pei Shu’er, making him feel less pain.

Yet he still sweated profusely, his complexion growing paler.

A beautiful man remains attractive, even when in such pain, maintaining a sickly allure.
