Chapter 162: Treating Long Yue [3]
Zhang Yuan patted Ming Yuelin's head and moved his hand as he gave a squeeze to her ass cheek, making her let out a surprised gasp.
"M-Master..."
The blush on her face deepened as a shy smile spread across her lips.
Zhang Yuan walked to Long Yue and gently crouched beside her on the bed, his fingers brushing a few stray locks of hair from her face. "You'll be alright," he murmured softly.
Long Yue glanced at the handsome man through her tear-filled blurry vision and nodded her head "Y-Yeah..."
Zhang Yuan smiled and went to the bathtub as he sat on the floor.
*fwish* One by one, the herbs and vials of medicinal liquids levitated from their carefully arranged places and drifted into the bath.
The medicinal herbs were mixed into the water with practiced precision, their potent properties transforming the bathwater into a rich, healing concoction.
The air filled with the scent of herbs, a calming yet powerful aroma.
Zhang Yuan glanced back at Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua "Strip her clothes and bring her here."
Both of them quickly nodded and began to remove Long Xue's clothes.
They gently moved her fragile body and peeled the robes from her skin with care and attention.
After fully removing her clothes, Ming Yuelin's eyes trembled, seeing the black veins pulsating on her pale skin all over her body.
She closed her eyes to stable her mind and her gaze fell on her boobs 'Oh, she is quite small than me...'
Xue Hua noticed Ming Yuelin staring at the woman's breasts and sighed helplessly "Senior Sister... please be serious."
"A-Ah Okay..."
After removing her clothes, they carefully lifted her from the bed and moved her to the bathtub.
"Urgh..." Long Yue groaned in pain because of her sudden body movements.
Both of them slowly submerged her body into the medicinal liquid and Zhang Yuan glanced at her smooth back which was facing him.
Reaching out, he gently moved her blonde hair sticking from her back and ruffled it to her shoulder.
Long Yue's body is very fragile and weak, so she doesn't have the energy to absorb the medicinal properties of the water.
Zhang Yuan placed his palm on her smooth back and applied his own energy to her body, helping her to absorb the medicinal properties.
Along with that, he also flowed his holy energy into her body, decreasing the corrosive effect of the powerful demon blood.
"Arghhh...."
Long Xue grunted in pain, feeling the energy seeping into her body and her whole body flushed deep in red in the steam.
Tears moistened her eyes and she could feel the pain in her body slowly decreasing over time.
Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua stood beside Zhang Yuan to assist him if he needed something.
An hour passed like this and the steam from the water had died down and the heat had also significantly decreased.
"Haa... haa..." Long Yue breathed heavily, her chest rising and falling as beads of sweat rolled down her skin, mixing with the water in the tub.
She was exhausted but relieved, her eyes fluttering open as she took in her surroundings.
Her skin, which was marred with dark veins, had returned to its natural, fair tone and the pain, which had wracked her body for what felt like days, was now reduced to a dull ache.
Zhang Yuan gave a soft smile as he watched her, satisfied with the progress. "Your condition has stabilized for now," he said in a low voice, standing over the tub.
Long Yue glanced down at her body and as she turned her head, her eyes met his, filled with gratitude and exhaustion.
She tried to speak, but only a hoarse whisper escaped her lips, "Thank you..."
Zhang Yuan shook his head gently, his gaze softening. "There's no need for thanks. Rest for now."
Xue Hua who was standing beside him asked "Master... is there anything else we need to do?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head "Not at the moment. The most critical part of the treatment is complete."
He turned his attention back to Long Yue, who was still lying in the bath, her breathing slowly evening out. Her eyelids fluttered, and it was clear that she was on the verge of falling asleep from exhaustion.
"Let her rest," Zhang Yuan said, signaling to his disciples. "Help her out of the bath and dry her off. We'll wrap her in clean robes and let her sleep. Her body needs time to recover from the strain."
Zhang Yuan turned around to look over at the remaining herbs which were arranged on the table.
The herbs began to float in the air and suddenly they lit into the fire as he began to concatenate the herbs into pills.
Meanwhile, on the back, Ming Yuelin and Xuye Hua slowly raised Long Xue's body from the bathing tub and began to dry her wet body.
After drying her body properly, Xue Hua took a set of robes from her storage ring and began to help Long Xue wear them.
Long Xue was half asleep, though she managed to move her exhausted body making it easier for them to dress her.
A few minutes later, they gently laid Long Xue on the bed and Long Xue who was already exhausted, closed her eyes.
Zhang Yuan glimpsed at Ming Yuelin and spoke "Go and open the door, Lin'er..."
"Yes, Master..."
Ming Yuelin hurriedly made her way to the door and opened it, letting in Long Xian who was nervously waiting outside.
Long Xian hurriedly entered in and saw Zhang Yuan standing beside the table with pills in his hand.
"Master Yuan..."
Zhang Yuan gestured to the bed and Long Xian rushed to the bed.
Seeing his daughter with clear skin, his eyes quivered in happiness and tears threatened to fill his eyes.
He slowly knelt down near the bed and smiled happily seeing his daughter's sleeping face.
Xue Hua who was standing near the bed spoke "She is tired and sleeping right now... you don't have to worry."
Zhang Yuan cast a glance at Xue Hua and spoke "Hua, you stay with her for today.. to check on her."
Xue Hua can easily sense the demonic energy if there is something wrong with Long Yue.
"Yes master..."
