Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Fire Cold Body
’How can this be? My Nine Yang Mysterious Needle has never failed before.’
He saw Ye Shi Yi’s symptoms suddenly worsen.
Chen Qingdi took out a secret manual his master had given him.
"A Fire Cold Body?"
Chen Qingdi flipped to the page describing how to treat symptoms like Ye Shi Yi’s.
’It’s not wrong... so where did I go wrong?’
Chen Qingdi murmured in confusion.
Then, he flipped to the page that recorded information on the Extreme Cold Divine Body.
’So that’s it. No wonder the Nine Yang Mysterious Needle didn’t work. Shiyi actually has a Fire Cold Body!’
’Master said that only the True Energy of a Pure Yang Body can suppress a Fire Cold Body.’
With this thought, Chen Qingdi moved in front of Ye Shi Yi and mobilized all the True Energy in his body.
A tremendously powerful surge of True Energy gathered in the palm of his hand.
With a loud cry, he channeled all of his True Energy into Ye Shi Yi’s body.
And the deathly pale color of Ye Shi Yi’s face slowly began to return to a healthy blush.
After a while.
Drenched in sweat, Chen Qingdi stopped transferring his True Energy.
The continuous, rapid consumption of True Energy had taken a great toll on his body.
If not for the True Yang Technique the old master had taught him, which constantly converted Spiritual Energy,
Chen Qingdi would have collapsed long ago instead of still being on his feet.
When Ye Shi Yi woke up, her eyes immediately fell upon Chen Qingdi.
Seeing his face deathly pale without a trace of color, she was instantly terrified and rushed over to him.
"Qingdi, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me! I’ll take you to the hospital right now."
Seeing Chen Qingdi in this state, Ye Shi Yi was truly and utterly panicked. Terrified that something had happened to him, she grabbed his arm and started to pull him toward the doctor.
"Shiyi, I’m fine. It was your condition just now that was truly frightening."
"Luckily, I know a little about medicine. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known what to do."
Chen Qingdi smiled and replied.
"Waaaah, you scared me to death!"
Hearing his words, the weight in Ye Shi Yi’s heart was finally lifted. She threw herself at Chen Qingdi, hugging him tightly as if afraid he would leave her.
"If something had happened to you, what would I have done?"
"Qingdi, promise me you won’t make me worry like this again, okay?"
Tears streamed down Ye Shi Yi’s face, giving her a pitifully beautiful appearance.
This made Chen Qingdi’s heart ache. He reached out and stroked her head.
"Shiyi, I’m sorry for making you worry."
"I promise, I will never make you worry about me again."
Chen Qingdi said to Ye Shi Yi, his tone resolute.
"Mm, I believe you."
"You must not lie to me, or I’ll be very sad, Qingdi."
Ye Shi Yi released her arms from around Chen Qingdi, wiped away her tears, and gave him a small smile.
"I know, Shiyi. You can rest easy."
"Just rest well today and don’t think about anything. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to bring Mr. Ye and Mrs. Wen here to live with us, so you can all live a good life."
After saying this, Chen Qingdi got up and left the room.
"Steward Li, are the gifts for my sister ready?"
Chen Qingdi asked Steward Li.
Steward Li led Chen Qingdi to a room and pushed open the door.
"Master, these clothes, bags, jewelry, and necklaces are all worth over twenty million in total. As per your instructions, they have all been purchased."
Chen Qingdi walked into the room and saw all kinds of luxury goods neatly arranged. There was a wide variety of styles, all suitable for a woman.
"Mm, you’ve done well."
"Don’t tell my sister about this yet. I want to give her a surprise tomorrow."
"By the way, has anything been happening in Jinghai recently?"
Chen Qingdi suddenly asked Steward Li.
"Master, there is one thing. I heard the city’s top official has suddenly returned. He’s planning a grand banquet to welcome an important figure."
"The banquet will be held at the Jiulong Hotel. All of Jinghai’s dignitaries and elites will be there."
Steward Li answered dutifully.
"A banquet?"
"Interesting. That will be all. You may leave."
Chen Qingdi chuckled and waved a hand, dismissing Steward Li.
Just then, Chen Yuan suddenly appeared by Chen Qingdi’s side and handed him an invitation.
"Chen Yuan, what is this invitation for?"
Chen Qingdi took it, a little surprised, and asked her.
"Lord Imperial Physician, this is a high-level invitation from the head of Jinghai City. He wishes to hold a welcome banquet for you, but he hasn’t been able to meet you. Now that he’s heard you’re at Longwu Mountain Manor, he has specially dispatched people to have me bring this invitation to you."
Chen Yuan answered truthfully.
"This old fellow is rather sensible. Still, I can’t be bothered with this kind of banquet."
Chen Qingdi casually tossed the invitation onto the ground.
"Lord Imperial Physician, please reconsider. I’ve heard that among the families at this banquet will be the Zheng Family and the Ma Family!"
"And members of the Four Great Clans will be there as well!"
Chen Yuan suddenly added.
"The Zheng and Ma Families will be there too?"
"Interesting. Inform the head of Jinghai City that I accept."
After giving the order, Chen Qingdi turned and left.
After waking up, Chen Qingdi went to Ye Shiyi’s door.
"Shiyi, are you awake?"
Chen Qingdi called out.
"I’m awake! Don’t come in yet, I’m changing!"
Ye Shi Yi’s somewhat flustered voice came from inside the room.
Chen Qingdi smiled knowingly and said from outside the door,
"It’s fine, I’ll wait for you."
Soon, Ye Shi Yi finished changing and came out.
Looking at the clothes Ye Shi Yi was wearing, Chen Qingdi felt that something was off.
It was because her outfit was far too plain!
Just an ordinary white shirt and dress pants, making her look like an insurance salesperson.
"Shiqi, come with me. I want to take you somewhere."
Chen Qingdi spoke cryptically to Ye Shi Yi, then led her to a room.
"Go on in."
Chen Qingdi gestured for Ye Shi Yi to enter. Standing outside, she hesitated for a long moment before finally stepping inside.
"WOW!"
"Qingdi, did you buy all of this?"
The moment Ye Shi Yi walked in, her eyes were drawn to the luxury goods inside.
She had never seen so many luxury items in her entire life.
In fact, some of the brands were things she had only ever seen on television, never in person.
Now, with a whole room full of them, she was completely overwhelmed.
Ye Shi Yi felt a whirlwind of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or not.
"Qingdi, these things must have been very expensive. I understand your sentiment, but you shouldn’t spend money so recklessly on me anymore. Listen to me: save that money, find a good woman to marry someday, and live a good life."
"Only then can I be at ease. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll worry about you for the rest of my life. I’ve always thought of you as my own little brother, so please, just listen to me, okay?"
Ye Shi Yi came before Chen Qingdi and spoke with earnest gravity.
