Chapter 147: Dual Needles Strike
Chapter 147: Dual Needles Strike
Today, Xu Xiangbei was going to try his new creation again, using two needles simultaneously.
Xu Xiangbei was like a fast knitting machine, his hands constantly waving, touching the acupuncture points on Gu Xinyan’s legs. The two needles struck simultaneously, as unstoppable as a bamboo splitting through, invincible.
Gu Xinyan, on the other hand, felt as if her legs were being pierced by needles, the pain excruciating to the point of near-fainting, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and emitting a sharp scream.
Xu Xiangbei pressed the needles from Gu Xinyan’s toes upward until finally both needles inserted into the Dantian point, three inches below the navel, altogether 99 needles, and all in one go, unbelievably taking only one minute.
The entire needling process was lightning fast, with an imposing momentum.
Xu Xiangbei was already drenched in sweat, a strong sense of exhaustion washed over him, yet he didn’t spare the use of a Taiqing Pill. Although this was the first time of using two needles together, and it consumed a lot of Inner Strength, technically it wasn’t difficult, all used was the first style of the Heaven-Defying Eight Needles, reversing the universe.
"Alright, you can stand up now."
After taking a large sip of water, Gu Xinyan opened her eyes wide, staring at Xu Xiangbei, her face showing a complex expression. She gently lifted her leg, and the stubborn legs finally obeyed and moved.
She was overjoyed, eagerly lifting the other leg and placing her foot on the ground to stand up from the bed.
Without using the handrails at the bedside, she stood up cautiously with her arms outstretched like a gymnast on a balance beam.
She laughed, tears flowing from her eyes, no longer feeling the heart-wrenching pain in her standing feet.
Xu Xiangbei waved his hands at her, casting an encouraging look.
Gu Xinyan felt like she was dreaming, slowly lifting her foot, feeling a moment of unease as it rose from the floor.
She had never walked before; while others start learning to walk from childhood, she was doing it for the first time in her life.
As she took her first step, she stumbled and toppled toward Xu Xiangbei, who tightly held her foot. Having used too much strength earlier, his footing was unstable, and they fell onto the bed together.
Looking at Gu Xinyan’s blushing beautiful face, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her forehead.
A startled scream echoed, and swoosh, a book flew past Xu Xiangbei’s forehead and smashed the ceramic mug on the table to pieces.
Gu Xiangyi charged at Xu Xiangbei with a broom: "You pervert, how dare you take advantage of my sister."
Xu Xiangbei, still immersed in the intoxicating kiss, was interrupted by Gu Xiangyi. Gu Xinyan hadn’t refused, and he wished to continue further.
"Sister, don’t hit him, he’s treating my legs."
Seeing that her sister was about to hit Xu Xiangbei with the broom, Gu Xinyan actually stood up and took a step forward, stopping her sister.
Gu Xiangyi screamed again, staring in astonishment at the sister who stood in front of her.
Just now, she had seen her sister lying in bed with eyes closed, and suddenly she was right in front of her, really able to walk.
"Sister, watch me, I’ll walk for you to see."
With a proud expression, Gu Xinyan began to step forward mechanically, taking one step, two steps, but as she took the third step, an intense pain surged, and she fell to the ground, her hair disheveled and biting her lips.
Gu Xiangyi panicked, quickly going forward to help her sister, but was gently pushed away by Gu Xinyan.
Gu Xinyan, her pretty eyes filled with determination and confidence: "Sister, I don’t need your help, let me get up myself."
Xu Xiangbei gently wrapped his arm around Gu Xiangyi’s waist, with a smile said: "Believe in her, she can get up by herself."
Gu Xinyan bit her lips, endured the pain, slowly stood up from the ground like an indefatigable warrior, her delicate face intertwined with sweat and tears.
The sisters embraced each other, tears of happiness and excitement flowing from their eyes.
"You can really walk now, that’s wonderful, sister is so happy for you."
Xu Xiangbei, with a cheeky grin, came closer: "Honey, I fulfilled my promise, cured your sister’s legs, she can walk now, how about sleeping in my room tonight?"
Gu Xiangyi just realized that she was in Xu Xiangbei’s arms and shyly pushed his hands away: "Not yet, my sister just has hope of walking, still not like walking normally."
"Alright, then when she walks like a normal person, see how you can deny it."
Gu Xiangyi rubbed her head, slightly aching from the drink earlier, and began to sweep the broken cup and plants.
Xu Xiangbei helped her tidy up: "You should drink less in the future, tonight you drank so much that you got gastric spasms, if I hadn’t treated you in time, you could have passed out from the pain."
Gu Xiangyi remembered something but hesitated, her face blushing: "I seemed to feel stomach pain in a dream, so it wasn’t a dream. Ah, there was no choice, I just negotiated a deal for toy chips, and President Wu insisted on drinking with me, couldn’t say no."
"The company isn’t just yours, why push yourself like that, not all deals require drinking."
"Okay, I’ll be more careful in the future, thanks for caring."
Gu Xiangyi smiled sweetly, she had just dreamt a dream, in which Xu Xiangbei was present too.
In a snow-covered winter with biting winds, Xu Xiangbei draped a warm cloak over her, snuggling by the campfire, making her feel very warm.
The next day at noon, Gu Xinyan was in the ground floor hall, and Xu Xiangbei was teaching her the first style of the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist.
Gu Xinyan could stand up now and even take a couple of steps. With her current ability, learning a style of the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist was quite an achievement.
Every time she extended her leg and swung her fist, a heart-wrenching pain emanated from her leg, causing her to fall down.
Yet she gritted her teeth, climbing up from the carpet, persistently continuing her efforts to mimic what Xu Xiangbei had taught her of the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist.
Gu Xiangyi watched from the second-floor staircase, feeling the pain in her heart as she saw her sister trembling in pain, she too shed tears.
Xu Xiangbei handed tissues to comfort: "Your sister can now stand and punch, it’s truly a miracle, you should be happy for her, why are you crying. As long as she persists, one day she will walk like a normal person."
Hopeful joy flashed in Gu Xiangyi’s eyes, she nodded: "Thank you, it’s all thanks to you, what’s this martial art she’s practicing called?"
Xu Xiangbei chuckled: "Jade Goddess Fist."
Gu Xiangyi gave Xu Xiangbei a glare, knowing he was teasing her again, she pinched his ear with her hand: "Did you make up that name?"
Xu Xiangbei, experienced yet couldn’t evade Gu Xiangyi’s ear pinching, had to plead: "Of course not, it’s truly called the Jade Goddess Fist."
The Jade Goddess Fist is the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist of the Ouyang Family, restored by Xu Xiangbei, making it more suitable for girls to practice, balancing Yin and Yang, accumulating heaven and earth’s pure Yang energy, and dispelling cold energy.
