The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 591: Liu Zixuan’s Ruse of Self-Injury

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Liu Zixuan’s Ruse of Self-Injury

This beauty’s whip really used force, after all, she’s a Peak of Imperial Realm expert. Even without full power, it could break the skin.

But the beauty master didn’t expect Liu Zixuan to withstand it.

Smack!

With one lash, Liu Zixuan’s sleeve tore open directly at his arm, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Hiss!" Liu Zixuan gasped sharply; it really hurt!

The beauty master quickly furrowed her brows. "Why didn’t you dodge?"

The gap between Peak of Imperial Realm and Imperial Realm Early Stage is considerable, but with Liu Zixuan’s body technique, evading would’ve been a breeze. To put it bluntly, the beauty master just wanted to teach this shameless fellow a lesson, she didn’t really mean to hit him.

But now... looking at that shocking wound, the beauty master stood there, dumbfounded.

In Liu Zixuan’s eyes flickered a strange expression, and then he closed his eyes and lay down on the ground.

Seeing this posture, the beauty master promptly strode forward and held Liu Zixuan in her arms, shaking him severely, "Hey, this injury can’t be so serious."

"..." Liu Zixuan didn’t respond, his eyes still tightly shut.

The beauty master looked at this situation, and indeed panicked. Furrowing her brows, she wondered, "Could it be that his previous injury hasn’t healed?"

She quickly took out a Silver Needle and began treating him. Soon, Liu Zixuan drowsily opened his eyes.

Showing a very weak appearance, he moved out of the beauty master’s embrace, "I’m... I’m okay!"

"Okay? Such a whip wouldn’t really injure you, why didn’t you dodge, and why did you faint?" The beauty master asked anxiously.

Liu Zixuan pretended to evade and walked aside without saying a word.

In the beauty master’s impression, Liu Zixuan was always someone who would speak openly, a guy thicker-skinned than anyone, and suddenly this silence made her truly bewildered. She thought, Liu Zixuan must have something going on that she didn’t know.

She quickly walked over, grabbed his arm, and solemnly asked, "Tell me, what’s really going on?"

"I..."

"Speak!"

Liu Zixuan pursed his lips, "Speaking of which, it’s a bit embarrassing; you followed me here all the way, so you must know about my battle with Shi Kui some time ago."

"I know." The beauty master did not deny it.

"To defeat him, I used the Seventh Transformation of Nine Transformations of Qiankun, a move I couldn’t control at all. Although I recovered a lot relying on the Holy Medical Scripture, it left sequelae."

Liu Zixuan sighed, "The sequelae is that my realm is stagnant, and I can only use one-tenth of my cultivation technique within six months. To put it bluntly, although my realm is at Imperial Realm, my strength is merely at King Realm Early Stage. Naturally, I couldn’t withstand your whip."

While saying these words, Liu Zixuan looked especially aggrieved and pretended to sob twice, directly hugging the beauty master.

"Master, I was just pretending to be calm in front of you just now; actually, I’m... I’m really in pain too."

The beauty master did not push Liu Zixuan away but instead hugged him back and gently stroked his back, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll heal you."

Listening to the beauty master’s gentle words, Liu Zixuan’s mouth slightly lifted.

Thinking secretly: Little missy, so what if your realm is high? So what if you can defeat me? Now, aren’t you still holding onto me voluntarily? To deal with experts like you, a little suffering trick works just fine.

This trick, though causing Liu Zixuan some pain, was far better than continued beating by the beauty master. Moreover, with the beauty in his arms now, savoring this brief tenderness made Liu Zixuan extremely pleased!

A faint body fragrance lingered at his nose, and he felt the exquisite figure pressed tightly against him—what a delight it was to experience.

After a short while, the beauty master supported Liu Zixuan to walk to the side.

Just like back at Spirit Extinct Mountain, every time Liu Zixuan was injured, it was always like this, lying in the beauty master’s embrace, receiving treatment from her.

Of course, initially, he was genuinely injured, but later it was purely to take advantage, pretending to be injured, thus inevitably facing another round of beating upon discovery by the beauty master.

But this time, Liu Zixuan indeed hadn’t recovered his strength, so he wasn’t afraid of the beauty master discovering his trick.

The beauty master activated her Inner Strength to treat Liu Zixuan for a while, then asked, "Must you insist on showing off? At that time, someone from the Jiang Family could have dealt with Shi Kui."

Liu Zixuan shook his head, "If I always have to rely on others for help, how can I truly grow? How can I openly ascend to the Willow Assembly Hall to bring Ruyan back?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Upon hearing this, the beauty master paused, "Maybe... I’ve been too harsh on you. Actually, you’ve done very well!"

"Right." Liu Zixuan gently placed the beauty master’s jade hand against his cheek, "But it’s okay, anyhow, being injured would still be in master’s embrace."

"I can’t always be by your side." The beauty master furrowed her brows, "This time it’s only because of the Seven-Star Tomb’s uniqueness that I took time to come to Celestial Capital."

"Unique? How is it unique?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Your previous discovery is correct; this is the altar of Lanlou Ancient Country and also its forbidden ground. It was because Lanlou disappeared; the High Priest brought a huge secret and heritage here, creating this Seven-Star Tomb."

The beauty master pointed to the special bed ahead, "The silver veil wrapped around it is the huge secret, and the Silver Hairpin you just acquired contains a substantial inheritance."

Liu Zixuan took out the Silver Hairpin, which seemed plain and unremarkable with no sign of inheritance, scratching his head, "How can this be called inheritance?"

"Only if you unlock that big secret will you know."

The beauty master took a deep breath, "You tried earlier, and even the Nameless Sword couldn’t cut open that veil."

"Indeed, is there some mechanism?"

"The White Cloud Formation I just used wasn’t targeting you; it was aimed at the veil wrapping it." The beauty master gave a smile, "Did you really think I would use such a low-level formation against an Imperial Realm expert like you!"

"But master, the silly look is quite cute, much better than hitting me with that little whip."

"Always babbling! If it weren’t for seeing you injured, just for the fact that you... you hit that spot, I’d beat you up!" The beauty master glared at Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan grinned, "Heh, let’s talk about our sweet nothings later, let’s focus on business first. Let me see what exactly is the big secret Lanlou Ancient Country hid here."

The beauty master nodded slightly, got up, and walked towards that veil, taking out several crystal clear Silver Needles to use the White Cloud Formation, slowly enveloping the area by the bed...
