Miracle Doctor Xue calmed himself down and turned around to ask Ling Yun in anticipation, "Then … Did you see why the fire in my heart is so strong?"
Miracle Doctor Xue had already decided that as long as Ling Yun told him why his heart fire was so strong, he would definitely let Ling Yun perform acupuncture on him!
Xue Meining had long forgotten her disdain and disappointment towards Ling Yun. She almost jumped in front of Ling Yun, her heart in her throat as she waited for Ling Yun's answer.
The reason was simple, everything Ling Yun said was spot on!
"Hehe, as I said just now, I can only temporarily stop your cough. My current ability is not enough to cure you completely. This is because the problem with your heart is really serious."
Ling Yun said leisurely as he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Xue Meining was already convinced. She did not wait for Ling Yun to put down his teacup and poured him another cup of tea.
Miracle Doctor Xue's face suddenly turned red. He hesitated for a moment and glanced at his granddaughter awkwardly before saying, "Tell me!"
Ling Yun looked up at Xue Meining, who was standing at the side with a teapot. He then turned back and asked Miracle Doctor Xue calmly, "Really?"
The awkwardness on Miracle Doctor Xue's face became even more obvious. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "Tell me …"
"The reason why your heart fire is so strong is actually because you have been eating all kinds of precious herbs that benefit the heart and spleen. Not only is your heart fire strong, your spleen and stomach are also very strong!"
Ling Yun said as he looked around and saw that half of the huge yard was planted with all kinds of precious herbs. He smiled proudly.
Xue Meining was so impressed that she could only nod her head. She did not realize that her grandfather and Ling Yun were exchanging glances.
"Do you still need me to say it?" Ling Yun asked for Old Man Xue's opinion.
"Cough cough … There's no need to say it. It's getting late, let's perform acupuncture first. This old illness has been tormenting me for a long time. It's best if I can stop coughing for a while …"
Miracle Doctor Xue quickly stopped Ling Yun. He now completely believed in Ling Yun's words. He even believed that Ling Yun would definitely be able to temporarily stop his cough.
The Little Demon Girl was listening intently. Seeing that her grandfather was in a hurry to perform acupuncture, she quickly interrupted, "Ling Yun, tell me, why does my grandfather eat so much Chinese medicine that benefits the heart and spleen?"
Even though Xue Meining was young, she was already an expert in traditional Chinese medicine. Her grandfather had to brew Chinese medicine for her to consume every day. Even if it was a tonic, it wouldn't be like this. She had asked Miracle Doctor Xue this question countless times, but her grandfather would always change the topic and avoid it.
Ling Yun smiled but did not say anything. He only focused on sipping his tea.
Miracle Doctor Xue's face was flushed red as he coughed violently. At the same time, he kept signaling Ling Yun with his eyes.
Ling Yun naturally understood. He put down the teacup and turned a deaf ear to the little demon girl's urging. He said calmly, "Old lady, shall we do acupuncture?"
"No, you have to tell me why my grandpa takes those Chinese medicines every day!"
The little demon girl's stubbornness was back, she wanted an explanation from Ling Yun.
"Uh … I don't know … I was just bragging just now … Let's do the acupuncture …"
Ling Yun pretended to be confused and even started to admit that he was "bragging".
"You weren't bragging, everything you said just now was correct! If you don't explain yourself today, I won't let you do acupuncture! "
The little demon girl had kept this question in her heart for too long. Now that Ling Yun was about to tell her the answer, she would definitely not let it go!
The relationship between Xue Meining and her grandfather was definitely not that of a normal grandfather-granddaughter relationship. She saw Miracle Doctor Xue's health problems every day and was anxious. She wished that she could suffer for her grandfather, but she could not get an answer from him.
Now that such a good opportunity had presented itself, she would definitely not let it go.
"Alright then, old man, I'll visit you another day. I'll be leaving first." Seeing that the little demon girl was using this trick again, Ling Yun chuckled and stood up, ready to leave.
The Little Demon Girl wrapped her arms around Ling Yun's arm. She hugged him very tightly and started to pester him with her usual coquettish skills.
"If you don't tell me, I won't let you go. Let's see who can last longer!"
Xue Meining was like a drowning person grabbing onto a life-saving straw. Her eyes were filled with tears as she hugged onto Ling Yun's arm tightly.
"Have you forgotten our bet?" Lingyun used the bet just now to scare her.
"As long as you can cure my grandfather, I'll agree to anything you want!" The little demon girl was really anxious now. Ling Yun could not scare her at all.
Ling Yun could only look at Miracle Doctor Xue helplessly.
Miracle Doctor Xue looked at his precious granddaughter with a complicated expression. He hesitated for a moment before finally letting out a long sigh.
"Forget it, just tell her. Cough cough … "
Ling Yun looked down at the filial little demon girl and smiled faintly. "Alright, can you let go of me now?"
Xue Meining's tears finally turned into a smile. Only then did she realize that Ling Yun's elbow was firmly pressed against her chest, causing her breasts to be squeezed out of shape. She was so shocked that she quickly let go of her hands, her face flushed red.
Ling Yun sat back down and asked Miracle Doctor Xue with a hint of pity in his eyes, "It's been a long time, right?"
Miracle Doctor Xue looked up at the sky as if he was reminiscing about the past. After a while, he smiled bitterly. "Almost forty years!"
Xue Meining was pouring tea for Ling Yun. She was confused by what she heard and could not help but ask, "Can you guys stop talking in riddles? What do you mean almost forty years? "
Ling Yun chuckled. "There's a living thing in your grandfather's body."
"Pa …" The teapot that Xue Meining was holding fell onto the cobblestone path and broke into pieces!
She did not even notice the hot water splashing onto her smooth and beautiful calves.
"What, what did you say?!" Xue Meining was shocked. She turned to her grandfather in disbelief and said, "Grandfather, he, he said that there's …"
Miracle Doctor Xue frowned and nodded with a bitter smile. At the same time, he gave Ling Yun a look of approval.
Miracle Doctor Xue was relieved that the secret that he had kept for forty years had been exposed by Ling Yun. He felt much more relaxed now.
"There's really a living thing in your body? Forty years? Oh my god! "Xue Meining suddenly felt as if the sky had collapsed!
"What's that?"
"It's a venomous insect!" Miracle Doctor Xue did not hide anything this time. He looked into the distance with a complicated expression. "Forty years ago, I went deep into Miaojiang in search of the best medicine. By chance, I saved a young lady from the Miao Tribe. Her name was Miao Fenghuang. I only found out later that she was the Holy Virgin of Miaojiang …"
"I did not expect Miao Fenghuang to have reached the pinnacle of medicine and venomous insects. We verified and communicated with each other. That was one of the happiest times of my life …"
At this point, the old man's eyes started to warm up. He continued, "When I felt that my medical skills could no longer be improved, I asked to leave. Who knew that Miao Fenghuang had already fallen deeply in love with me …"
"The Miao girl was bold and direct. When I asked to leave, she told me about her feelings for me …"
"But at that time, I was already married to your grandmother. I even had your father. How could I have agreed to her proposal?"
Xue Meining was already in a daze. She asked, "Grandpa, how did you leave in the end?"
Miracle Doctor Xue smiled bitterly. "Leave? The Holy Virgin of Miaojiang only loved one man in her life. How could she let me go so easily? She pretended to agree to let me go, but on the night I left, she drugged my food … "
Ling Yun did not need to listen anymore.
Xue Meining was extremely intelligent. She bit her lips and asked, "Then you guys …"
Miracle Doctor Xue's face turned red from his granddaughter's question. He lowered his head and sighed. "Yes, they planned it deliberately. How could I avoid it?"
Ling Yun secretly despised Old Man Xue. He thought to himself, You can't wait for something to happen. Avoid it?
"But I did not expect that after everything happened, she actually planted a parasite in me!"
Miracle Doctor Xue's face showed a trace of anger and helplessness. He explained, "This parasite is called the Heart-Devouring Parasite. It is planted in the body of a Miao girl with status. Once she has sex with a man, the parasite will enter the man's body, causing the two of them to be unable to forget each other for the rest of their lives.
Xue Meining's beautiful and heroic face had an extremely strange expression. She muttered softly, "Then she must be very beautiful, right?"
Miracle Doctor Xue's face was full of nostalgia. He nodded and said, "Miao Fenghuang is indeed a rare beauty …"
"Then why did you reject her? Why didn't you just bring her home … "
How bold! How bold! How I like it! How I like it! Ling Yun listened to Xue Meining's suggestion and could not help but look at this little demon girl in a different light.
"Cough cough …" Miracle Doctor Xue was shocked by his precious granddaughter's bold suggestion. He coughed violently for a long time before glaring at her. "Don't talk nonsense. If you brought her home, what would happen to your grandmother?"
"It's not like you didn't think about it …" Of course, no matter how bold Xue Meining was, she only dared to say it in her heart.
"What happened after that?"
There was no need for Miracle Doctor Xue to hide anymore. He smiled bitterly and said, "After that, of course, I did not agree. Relying on my profound medical skills, I found a way to leave Miaojiang …"
"In order to force the Gu Worm out of my body, I went to find my master. Who knew that even my master could not force it out? He could only try to suppress it … So …"
Ling Yun continued for him, "So, you started to eat these medicines made from heart-nourishing and spleen-strengthening herbs every day to raise your heart fire and suppress the heart-gnawing pain from the Gu worms in your body, right?"
Miracle Doctor Xue nodded approvingly. "You're right. Because fire suppresses metal, fire produces earth, and earth produces metal. Therefore, I have been eating these heart-nourishing and spleen-strengthening medicine. While suppressing the Gu Worm, I also have to carefully maintain the physiological balance of the heart, spleen, and lungs."
Ling Yun understood that the spleen was of the earth attribute. When the fire was strong, the earth would naturally be strong. This way, it would have a certain nourishing effect on the lungs.
However, this was just like mixing dough. When there was too much water, he would have to add more flour. When there was too much flour, he would have to add more water. Sooner or later, the bowl would not be able to hold all the water. It was already hard on Miracle Doctor Xue to maintain this for forty years!
