Baili Hongzhuang gazed into his deep, ocean-like eyes, and a captivating smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
"When you helped me, didn't you also do it without a reason?" she replied.
"It's different!" Emperor Beichen's voice slightly raised, "Aren't you worried that I'm only seeking your help for my own treatment?"
What he did was just a small matter, something anyone could have done, but what Baili Hongzhuang was doing for him went far beyond that.
"Does it matter?" Baili Hongzhuang retorted.
Emperor Beichen was taken aback. He couldn't fathom why Baili Hongzhuang would answer like this. How could these things not matter?
"When you asked that question, I knew you weren't helping me just for that reason."
Baili Hongzhuang's smile grew softer. "Besides, even if it were true, I wouldn't mind."
She never regretted the decisions she made!
She didn't know Emperor Beichen's true identity, nor did she know the reason why he approached her so intimately, but she believed that when he was with her, he was sincere.
Why?
Perhaps it was because, for the first time, someone stood in front of her.
Perhaps it was because, for the first time, someone understood her unhappiness.
Perhaps it was because of that fluttering in her heart...
For these reasons, it was enough.
Emperor Beichen suddenly realized that he couldn't see through Baili Hongzhuang at all.
Usually, although he didn't understand why Baili Hongzhuang possessed medical skills, he thought she was straightforward in their interactions.
But at this moment, he suddenly couldn't understand Baili Hongzhuang anymore. How could she not care about the things that others deemed important?
"Why... don't you mind?"
"Because you did help me, didn't you?"
Baili Hongzhuang's eyebrows lifted with a smile. If she had doubted Emperor Beichen before, now she felt that he was also a kind person.
Despite his complexity and worldliness in everyday life, he understood simplicity when faced with it and was actually very kind.
Looking at the smiling face before him, Emperor Beichen felt for the first time that his world was so intricate.
"If there are no issues, shall I begin?" Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Right now, I need to address the issue of your leg paralysis."
"As for the constitution change, it will require some rare things."
"But, you must believe that once your constitution is transformed, your cultivation talent will greatly enhance again, so there's no need to be in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Beichen nodded slightly. He knew Baili Hongzhuang was comforting him.
Baili Hongzhuang inserted silver needles into the acupoints of Emperor Beichen's legs. Her eyes were focused, and each needle was quick and accurate.
Earlier, when Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang were conversing, Little Black had already retreated to the side.
He felt that staying there would be too obtrusive, and it would be better for the young master and Miss Baili to be alone together.
The peach forest regained its tranquility, with only a graceful white figure and a tall and slender figure remaining.
The woman crouched beside the man's legs, while the man gazed silently at her.
Peach blossoms fluttered, their fragrance wafting in the air, and the figures appeared hazy, like a dream.
After accurately inserting silver needles into everyone's acupoints, Baili Hongzhuang spoke, "The next process will be very painful. If you can't bear it, you can just shout."
Emperor Beichen nodded slightly, "I'm fine, you can proceed."
Upon hearing his words, vitality surged within Baili Hongzhuang's body. With a wave of her right hand over the silver needles, they began to tremble continuously.
