, Treatment ~~

Seeing that the young man was staring blankly, the woman in the white dress smiled charmingly, her white teeth lightly opening:

“Are you the famous genius diviner who has recently been the talk of Myriad Spirits City?”

There was a hint of warning in her smile that immediately snapped Lin Chen back to his senses. He had actually become so entranced from looking at a beautiful woman!

“Ahem, yes that’s me. May I ask who the young miss is?”

Lin Chen lightly coughed and asked in a proper manner.

“Pfft~ Young miss, my little friend, do you know how many generations separate us in age?”

The woman in the white dress covered her mouth and laughed lightly, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

“There is a young girl that lives in every woman’s heart. It’s not about age but mentality, isn’t it, miss? If one thinks of themselves as old, how could they still be a young miss?”

Lin Chen’s words caused the rare occurrence of the woman in the white dress sinking into brief contemplation. She nodded in agreement: “What you said makes a lot of sense, I’ll remember your words. I asked you to come this time to help me take a look at my problem.”

“Does the City Lord mean the poison within the body, as he said?”

Lin Chen was no fool, of course. Other than that City Lord who was said to be a celestial maiden descended to earth, who else could it be that appeared here?

“Oh? You were actually able to see that?”

The City Lord looked at Lin Chen in surprise. He nodded, “Yes, I’m able to see a little bit of it; it’s just that the problem is quite tricky.”

From the moment he saw her, Lin Chen had activated his Purple Golden Eyes to see the black fog swirling around her eyebrows and entering her body, like maggots in the bone.

Moreover, Lin Chen could sense within her body a fluctuation similar to that of an attribute orb, but he did not yet know specifically what it was.

“It seems I found the right person. Master Diviner, let's go inside to discuss.”

The female City Lord invited Lin Chen into the room. The elegant, refreshing fragrance within the boudoir calmed the heart and refreshed the spirit.

“This poison was left by one of my enemies, entangling me for decades, gradually tormenting and eroding my cultivation every day, causing me immense pain. If you can eliminate it, as for the reward...”

The female City Lord carefully told Lin Chen about the origin of the poison within her body. Listening to it, Lin Chen was somewhat moved. This poison was no ordinary toxin that could be resolved by an antidote. It had penetrated deep into the origin of her inner force and even her whole body; it would gradually erode the poisoned person until they died a fate worse than death.

This bizarre poison was purely formed from the opponent's inner force. Fundamentally, there was no medicine that could resolve it. Rather than calling it poison, it was more like a curse.

At this time, the toxins had already permeated deep into the female City Lord's body, penetrating even into her inner force. If it was not removed within a year, her inner force would likely become unable to circulate, and within two years, her life would be at risk!

"City Lord, this poison..."

"My name is Bai Ruoyan. Other than calling me City Lord, you can call me whatever you want."

"Alright, Miss Ruoyan, this enemy's poison is no trivial matter. I can only say I will do my utmost, but I cannot guarantee I can cure it well."

Lin Chen said seriously. Bai Ruoyan shook her head.

"No, if you cannot cure me, I can only kill you."

Bai Ruoyan's shocking words made Lin Chen jump in fright!

You asked me to do something, and if I can't do it, I have to die? What kind of business is this?

"This poison has penetrated my entire body's meridians and even my inner force. To expel the poison, there cannot be any obstructions."

Bai Ruoyan's words made Lin Chen instantly understand! To expel the poison, neither side could have any barriers, not even clothing.

"Female diviners are rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the wilderness, and male diviners are all trying to take improper advantage or boast of abilities they don't have. I've killed quite a few of them already."

Bai Ruoyan shook her head and sighed lightly, then looked at Lin Chen: "You're the first diviner who recognized at a glance that I was poisoned."

"Then I refuse. Lady City Lord Bai Ruoyan, I'm a man who fears death. You should find someone else. I'll take my leave now!"

To think that failure meant death. What kind of business was this?

Lin Chen stood up, cupped his fist, turned around and headed for the door!

He was kidding himself; even if this Bai Ruoyan was a celestial maiden descended to earth, if Lin Chen had a chance to take advantage of her he wouldn't dare touch her!

It was fine to risk his life chasing girls, but risking his life just to cop a feel - that was what the shameless Lei Feng did!

Although there were fluctuations similar to attribute runes within Bai Ruoyan's body, Lin Chen did not dare risk his life to get involved!

"Wait!"

Bai Ruoyan had not expected him to directly go back on his word, and immediately stopped Lin Chen.

"Lady City Lord Bai Ruoyan, there's nothing more to discuss. I'm just a little Spirit Connecting Realm cultivator. How could I be sure I have the ability to help expel the toxins from your body? If I fail, I have to die. I'm not someone who has nothing better to do."

Lin Chen's firm attitude made Bai Ruoyan grit her teeth. "Then, then tell me your conditions!"

"My conditions are simple. I will do my utmost to help expel the poison. But you will bear all consequences, and if I fail, it is not my responsibility. Also, if I succeed, for the reward, I want double the original amount!"

Lin Chen would not budge an inch, leaving Bai Ruoyan to contemplate.

The youth before her now seemed to be the only chance. The poison had spread through her whole body already. If delayed further, her life would be at risk.

"Alright, I agree to your conditions, but when you expel the poison, I require that you..."

"Don't worry, I'll blindfold myself."

...

Lin Chen rested and recovered his strength in the City Lord's residence for a day. At the same time, this was the first time he had asked the system for help in resolving this matter. He did many trial runs until the night of the next day.

In a certain secret chamber, under the dim lamplight, on the bed, Bai Ruoyan's jade fingers pulled and untied the sash around her long skirt.

The beauty's cherry lips slightly parted as she tightly clenched a hairpin in her teeth. With her fair hands she gently gathered up her long black hair, only revealing her skin like creamy jade, the flawless and exquisite curve of her waist. It was simply intoxicating!

Lin Chen sat cross-legged behind her with a black cloth tied around his eyes. The faint, sweet scent like lavender teased his nose. Even that vaguely visible, delicate figure made Lin Chen's breathing become hurried.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen forcibly calmed himself down.

"Miss Ruoyan, I'm going to start."

"If you dare peek, I definitely won't let you off!"

Bai Ruoyan's face flushed red as she warned him, but in her current weak state, it was more like coquetry. Hearing it made Lin Chen feel his bones turn soft.

His fingertips gently covered her delicate, snowy shoulder. The woman's ragged breathing made Lin Chen almost lose control of his mind and spirit.

"Just her shoulder is already so smooth..."

Lin Chen was shocked in his heart, swallowing with some difficulty.

Not daring to think any further, Lin Chen began purely stimulating his runic energy!

The system had informed Lin Chen that if an attribute rune existed within Bai Ruoyan's body, there was a certain chance that by using pure runic energy, he could attract the attribute rune out.

Sure enough, the moment he stimulated his runic energy, wisps of smoke rose within Bai Ruoyan's body, and the deeply hidden toxins began to show signs of writhing!

"It's working! I can slowly draw it out!"

Lin Chen pressed down firmly on the beauty's snowy shoulder, then slid his palm down her creamy jade back, slowly leading the toxins out like drawing out a venomous snake!

This feeling of having the toxins withdrawn made Bai Ruoyan feel both agony and an indescribable pleasure. Along with the extremely embarrassing atmosphere, it made it difficult for her to fully restrain herself.

"Mmm~ Ahh~~!"

Bai Ruoyan could not help letting out a few moans. She was no ordinary woman, but those sounds almost broke Lin Chen's composure and made him lose control of his runic energy.

"My good elder sister, don't make any noises!"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, biting his tongue. Having no reaction at this time would be abnormal for any man!
