Chapter 1367 - 1447: Turning Her Back to Him
From the outside, the Gu Insect seemed to melt when it touched Dong Huiying’s wound, but Dong Huiying herself felt as if the Gu Insect had transformed into a cold liquid, spreading outward from the wound with an impetus to engulf her entire body.
This coldness flowed through her originally withered and lax meridians, gradually reviving them. Moreover, the rejuvenated meridians began to influence the flesh inside her body, giving her a strange sensation akin to a blood replacement. This coldness acted like a cleanser, purging the blood of accumulated impurities, ridding the body of everything undesirable, turning her old and decaying body into one of renewed vitality.
Dong Huiying even felt her bones itch; her skin, flesh, and blood began to ache. Her gums started to itch.
"Wife, Wife!?" Liang Haoming stared nervously at his wife.
"Cough!" Suddenly, she turned her back and used her long sleeves to cover her mouth, as if she was taking something out of it.
From Liang Haoming’s perspective, it was unseen because his wife had her back to him.
In fact...
Dong Huiying felt mortally embarrassed; her gums itched, and her once white and healthy teeth had long fallen out. She now used a set of dentures made from polished Jade. So when she turned her back on Liang Haoming, she was secretly removing her dentures.
Yun Ge was rather calm; being a woman, she understood women best. She let out a soft chuckle, and upon seeing the person before her stiffen due to her laughter, Yun Ge barely held back from turning a chuckle into a fit of guffaws.
"Coughing and laughing," Yun Ge stifled her amusement, then turned to Liang Haoming, who was still anxiously watching his wife.
"Stop staring; you’ll just make her more uncomfortable. I think her body is getting better." Yun Ge looked at Dong Huiying’s wrist. Earlier, she had sliced it with a small knife but didn’t stop the bleeding immediately. The wound wasn’t big, yet the blood it contained seemed alive, flowing incessantly at first with a dull hue, then gradually darkening and blackening. Yun Ge guessed these dirty blood might be the lingering affliction in Dong Huiying’s body, expelled in this manner.
Liang Haoming ignored Yun Ge; sometimes, he was a bit silly and obstinate. No matter how many times others reassured him about his wife’s health, even if his wife herself told him ’she’s fine,’ he might not trust it. He had to see with his own eyes, a persistently stubborn man, unable to recognize his wife’s embarrassment, yet insisted on staying.
Yun Ge rolled her eyes in exasperation, thinking this man was truly foolish. If not for considerations of gender defense — Liang Haoming being male, herself female, his wife being her close friend, etc. — Yun Ge might not have been able to resist directly "laying hands" and dragging Liang Haoming away.
Dong Huiying thought in shame and rage: "Haoming, I’m fine now; my body is slowly recovering."
But Liang Haoming didn’t trust her; his wife was like a little liar, a person with a record — always worried about her brothers worrying, thus concealing some detrimental situations from them.
With a sudden leap forward, he reached out and grabbed his wife’s arm.
