Chapter 111 Too Awesome
"Ah!!"
Having nearly become a porcupine with needles in her back, Han Guo suddenly let out an exclamation as she felt countless streams of heat surge into her body. The cold, sinister air within her seemed to be aggressively pushed back, cornered in a recess of her body, unable to move.
Liu Wentian, pinching and flicking, his hands moved swiftly over the several dozen Silver Needles, dazzling to the onlookers, as the needles maintained a constant vibration, incessantly trembling.
Han Guo felt that she had never, at any moment, felt as relaxed and comfortable as she did now. The cold, bone-piercing sensation had almost vanished, while a warm current flowed within her body.
She turned her head and glanced at Liu Wentian, who was now drenched in sweat. Even as sweat dripped into his eyes, he did not blink even once, focusing intently on the several dozen Silver Needles on Han Guo's back, his face serious and his body seemingly emanating a special radiance.
In an instant, Han Guo felt a warm current gush forth, not from the vibrations of the Silver Needles, but from being moved.
She realized that following him today might have been the most correct decision she had made in her life.
Almost 20 minutes had passed, and Liu Wentian finally ceased his movements and slowly removed the Silver Needles.
After removing them all, Liu Wentian smiled and said, "There, you should feel less cold now, right? My 'Eight Trigram Transferring God Needles' can stimulate your potential and suppress the cold energy. However, its effect will last for about half a year only. Don't worry too much. In less than two months, I believe I can cure you completely."
Two months was just about enough for him to train his body to the peak and enter the Second Layer of the Heaven and Earth Demons Gods Technique. By then, he should be able to heal Han Guo.
"Um, uncle, I believe you. You are really amazing; I'll never doubt you again!" Han Guo said excitedly. "You must be a guardian angel sent by Lord God himself. I felt this the first time I saw you."
Liu Wentian tapped her forehead, speechless, and said, "What do you mean 'sent'? I'm not an object."
"Oh, uncle is not an object. Hehe." Han Guo laughed and said.
Liu Wentian glared at her, "Little girl, are you asking for a spanking??"
Han Guo giggled, her brows no longer furrowed but now relaxed, making her look even more youthfully radiant and attractive.
She stood right in front of Liu Wentian and began to put on her jeans. After she was dressed, she expressed her joy, "This is great; I don't have to wear those thick coats anymore. They are so puffy and ugly."
Having said that, she took a spin in front of Liu Wentian, "Uncle, look, don't I look much better without the coat on??"
Seeing her cheerful demeanor, Liu Wentian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, if you're not wearing a coat, you'd better not walk alone at night, or it might become dangerous."
"Hehe, uncle, you're complimenting me for being pretty, and you think my chest is quite ample too!! Hehe!!" Han Guo said proudly, puffing out her chest.
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, the room's door was kicked in from outside and fell to the floor, as three men in black appeared at the entrance.
"Miss, are you in there??"
One of them, a middle-aged man around 40 with an ordinary face but sharp eyes, called out.
Seeing this person, Han Guo was shocked and said, "Uncle Zhou, how come you are here??"
The middle-aged man, seeing Han Guo, was overjoyed and said, "Miss, you are actually here. Miss Zhao said you disappeared, and it scared us all. We tracked the locator on you and found you."
"So sorry, Uncle Zhou, for making everyone worry," said Han Guo, appearing a bit embarrassed.
Uncle Zhou had a look of affection on his face and smiled, "As long as you are fine, miss, let's head back."
Then his expression changed suddenly, "Right, the innkeeper said a man brought you here to check into a room. That man... who dares to have improper designs on you, miss, I won't let him off!!"
After speaking, he noticed Liu Wentian in the room and angrily scolded, "You brat, were you the one who brought our miss here for a room? You're courting death!!"
Han Guo quickly shielded Liu Wentian and said angrily, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing? Don't you yell at Uncle!!"
Uncle Zhou was stunned for a moment, then even more furious, "This brat must have taken advantage of our young miss's innocence, tricking her into coming to the inn. Our young miss must have been deceived and still doesn't understand the truth!"
Uncle Zhou had watched Han Guo grow up; he considered her as his own and understood the pain she endured, and so he cared for her immensely.
At home, Han Guo was like a cheerful little bee, always giggling, bringing joy to everyone, but she rarely interacted with outsiders. Her mind was too innocent, easily fooled by others. This was why the Han family was so anxious when they heard that Han Guo had gone missing.
The more Uncle Zhou thought about it, the angrier he got, feeling as if his own daughter had been nearly insulted, wishing he could beat up Liu Wentian then and there. Find your next read on empire
"Miss, leave this to me, I must teach this brat a good lesson for daring to deceive you, he is simply courting death!!"
Han Guo was furious, "Uncle Zhou, have you lost all sense of reason!! Uncle came here to treat my illness, stop making wild guesses!!"
Only then did Uncle Zhou notice Han Guo wasn't wearing a coat and his pupils shrunk, "Treating an illness?? How??"
Han Guo quickly explained, "Acupuncture. Uncle's acupuncture is very effective, he really was treating my illness. I won't allow any of you to cause trouble!!"
Uncle Zhou, however, scoffed, "Acupuncture? He just arrived at the Second Layer of cultivation and he knows acupuncture?? Miss, did he tell you need to take off your coat for acupuncture??"
Han Guo, now fully understanding what he meant, retorted in exasperation, "Uncle Zhou, it's not at all like what you're thinking!!"
Although Liu Wentian was somewhat irritated by this man's aggressive behavior, since he was Han Guo's family member, he also explained, "Sir, you really have misunderstood. I was simply treating Han Guo's illness, nothing more."
"Treating an illness?? Bullshit!! Do you take me for a fool like our young miss??" Uncle Zhou shouted contemptuously.
Liu Wentian's face also turned sour, "I'm warning you to keep your mouth clean. If you dare to curse at my mother again, even if it's unintentional, I won't be polite anymore. If it weren't for Han Guo's sake, I would have already slapped you across the face!!"
Uncle Zhou sneered, "Ha! You want to slap me? Not going to be polite? Great! Then I'd like to see how you're not going to be polite! Do you even know what status our young miss has? If you dare bring her into a room, even nine lives wouldn't be enough for you! There's no escape for you today, brat, you'll pay for your stupidity. You can't just meddle with anyone, or rather, you don't even have the right to think about it!!"
"Uncle Zhou, if you continue to be impolite, then never show your face in front of me again! If you dare to lay a finger on Uncle, I will never forgive you!!" Han Guo yelled angrily, her eyes reddening.
Uncle Zhou was startled by Han Guo's vehement response and even more outraged inside. In just half a day, the miss had changed this much, what kind of enchantment had this brat cast on the young miss.
However, he was also afraid of truly angering Han Guo, so he yielded, "Fine, miss, I'll listen to you and not bother with this guy. Let's hurry home then; the master and madam and your cousin, they were all nearly scared to death by your disappearance."
Han Guo also realized that her sudden disappearance in the afternoon must have frightened her family, and she began to miss her parents. She wanted to tell them about Liu Wentian curing her illness, so she agreed, "Alright, then let's go back."
After saying that, she continued angrily, "But Uncle Zhou, I will tell my father about your bad behavior! Uncle was treating my illness, and you threatened him, hmph!!"
Uncle Zhou was nonchalant, "Miss, you go ahead and tell the master and madam, I believe they won't blame me."
