Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

As the door opened, Xia Liu was immediately stunned.

The mesmerizing figure of a woman rushed in swiftly. Even with anxiety written across her face, her charming features did not diminish one bit, and her trembling alabaster hands only added to the excitement.

This woman was none other than the beauty Xia Liu had encountered in town: Fang Fei!

Fang Fei, upon seeing Xia Liu, was also taken aback. But the situation with her godmother made her more anxious, "Godfather, how is godmother doing? When Qinqin called me, I was almost out of my mind with worry!"

"Fang Fei, calm down. Your godmother's condition has stabilized, thanks to this young brother here," Li Zhong tried to soothe Fang Fei as he pointed to Xia Liu and recounted the recent events.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry; had he known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have called his daughter, who was away on a business trip, to worry everyone.

After hearing what Li Zhong said, Fang Fei calmed down and then sat down next to Xia Liu, "Xia Liu, do you know my godfather?"

"We've only just met," Xia Liu said with an awkward smile. If he had known him, he wouldn't have needed to borrow someone else's car to come here.

"Do you two know each other?" Li Zhong asked with interest. Having seen Xia Liu control his wife's condition, he had developed a good impression, and if Xia Liu knew Fang Fei, that would make things even more interesting.

Fang Fei gave a small smile and then shared the events that had taken place in Pinglan Town.

Seizing the opportunity, Xia Liu finally understood—Fang Fei had gone to the town with the intention of buying some Chinese herbs to alleviate her godmother's condition.

"Haha, Brother Xia is truly a promising young man. I wonder if what you just said is true?" After hearing Fang Fei's explanation, Li Zhong became increasingly optimistic about Xia Liu, and he couldn't help but ask, filled with anticipation.

"Uh... Godfather, what did he just say?" Fang Fei also became interested, sensing that Xia Liu's words must be out of the ordinary to capture Li Zhong's attention.

"Niece Fang Fei, Brother Xia has just said that he could completely cure your godmother's illness, and I mean completely," Lin Hongsheng chimed in before Li Zhong could speak. He was deeply skeptical of Xia Liu—not the person, but his medical skills.

As the head of the County Hospital, he was at a loss with this illness. How could a mere rural doctor possibly cure it, let alone provide a complete cure?

"Wow! Xia Liu, are you serious? Don't play tricks on us!" Fang Fei stood up, visibly excited. She had been concerned about her godmother's condition ever since she was young, and hearing this news nearly overwhelmed her with a desire to passionately pester Xia Liu for answers.

"It's true. However, I didn't bring my tools today; otherwise, I could have started the treatment immediately," Xia Liu nodded, confident in his abilities despite never having treated this type of illness before.

Clang!

Li Zhong's teacup dropped to the ground. Upon receiving Xia Liu's confirmation, he believed, he became excited, "Brother Xia, whatever you need, just say it. I'll do everything in my power to help you."

"Yes, Xia Liu, or I can drive you home to fetch your tools!"

"Brother Xia, I choose to believe you this time, but you must cure my sister-in-law," Lin Hongsheng added, with the others nodding in agreement—ready to fulfill any requirement even if it meant finding Millennial Ginseng, as long as it led to a cure.

"Actually, what I need is quite simple: just a few silver needles. I'll go out and buy a set right now," Xia Liu shook his head. He knew best what he needed for the treatment. Herbs were only beneficial for maintaining health in the later stages; acupuncture was the key.

Upon hearing that Xia Liu only needed a few needles, Li Zhong and the others were amazed.

Lin Hongsheng, too, was shocked. He offered to have someone send them from the hospital, but Xia Liu refused; he needed to inspect the silver needles himself to ensure they were suitable.

Xia Liu was unfamiliar with the topography of the county town, so Fang Fei volunteered to guide him to the purchase.

Xia Liu mentioned to Fang Fei that the place in the county town that specialized in selling silver needles was several kilometers away from the county government, in a remote town district.

"I'm really sorry, my car was stolen, so I called a friend to drive over," Fang Fei said somewhat awkwardly downstairs.

"Sister Fang, there's no need for trouble, I have a car." Xia Liu said and led Fang Fei to the BMW he had borrowed: "Not bad, huh."

Xia Liu skillfully opened the door and got into the car, completely oblivious to the smirk on Fang Fei's face.

Just as Xia Liu was fumbling to start the car by unconventional means, Fang Fei handed him a key: "Here, use this, it'll save some time."

Xia Liu glanced at the key, then back at the expression on the girl's face, and in an instant, he was baffled.

It turns out he'd inadvertently 'stolen' the car from this girl...

With super awkwardness, Xia Liu took the key and really started the car: "Uh, sorry about that, Sister Fang."

"Don't be sorry, you could steal my car in two minutes, maybe sometime you can steal me away in two minutes too." Fang Fei gave a seductive smile, her hand slowly extending to Xia Liu's leg.

Xia Liu twitched, and a cold sweat kept soaking his back; this was outright seduction!

"Sister Fang is driving, I really wouldn't want to run us off the road."

"Giggle, just kidding, turn left at the intersection ahead..." Fang Fei covered her mouth with a smile, directing Xia Liu on the route ahead.

Half an hour later, as the sky was getting dim and dusk was approaching, Xia Liu and Fang Fei returned to Li Zhong's house.

Before proceeding with the acupuncture, Xia Liu asked Li Zhong to prepare a basin, and then he and Fang Fei entered the room, with Li Zhong and Lin Hongsheng waiting in the living room.

The woman on the bed looked even paler than an hour before, but Xia Liu was not concerned; the few points he had pressed earlier had a limited effect in suppressing the disease.

Xia Liu asked Fang Fei to lift the woman's nightgown just to the necessary point and then stop.

Immediately after, the Five Elements Mantra powerfully surged, and in a flash, streams of five different colors of energy churned in Xia Liu's Dantian like the sea.

The first silver needle transformed into an afterimage in his palm and pricked the woman's chest, followed by the second, the third...

Until the ninth needle had landed on the woman's body, the tenth needle was inserted into the woman's head.

The silver needles on the woman's chest carried different colors, visible only to Xia Liu.

The needle in the heart area was blue, carrying the Water Spirit Energy from the Five Elements Mantra, which moisturizes and protects, ensuring the liver would not be affected.

The colors of the other needles were gold and red, with the one on the head being green.

These represented the other four Attributed Spirit Energies of the Five Elements Mantra: the Golden Spirit Energy heals and purifies, the Fire Spirit Energy drives out poison and concentrates, and the Wooden Spirit Energy sustains and nurtures life.

After inserting these ten needles, Xia Liu sat down pale-faced and exhausted beside the bed; he would always be very weak after acupuncture because it consumed a large amount of his Spiritual Energy.

Fang Fei quietly walked over to Xia Liu, then hugged his head with both hands, letting him rest against her...
