158 Acupuncture Contraception
Tian said without much concern. Ever since coming down the mountain, he had treated patients with acupuncture and never prescribed any medicine. It wasn’t that he couldn’t write prescriptions; it was...Chapter 158: Acupuncture Contraception
Li Yunman originally thought that Xia Jia would be happy, after all, this was tens of millions in property. Who knew that Xia Jia had a lackluster expression and said lazily, "Ms. Yunman, even if they are willing to pay now, it's too late. That monkey is most likely going to die, and I can't save him."
"Xia Jia, there really isn't any way at all" Li Yunman was taken aback. She had actually already heard Xia Jia say this yesterday; she just still hoped that Xia Jia might simply not want to save her uncle, but should still have some way.
"To cure the monkey, I would need to use Heaven-defying Needle Three, which I can't currently wield. So let him die if he wants to—after all, it's his own fault for seeking death," Xia Jia said nonchalantly. Although with Liu Meng’s help, he could barely manage to use the third needle, that was still somewhat risky; he certainly wouldn’t put himself in danger just to save Monkey Li Qi.
"Heaven-defying Needle Three" Li Yunman frowned slightly. "Xia Jia, I remember you said that curing my illness also requires Heaven-defying Needle Three, right"
"Yes." Xia Jia nodded.
"Yesterday, you seemed to say that if Uncle doesn’t wake up, he can live for a year. Right" Li Yunman asked again.
Xia Jia could only nod once more: "Right, I did say that the guy can be a living dead person for a year."
"Within one year, you will be able to use Heaven-defying Needle Three, right" Li Yunman asked again.
“Well, this isn’t certain. But don't worry, Ms. Yunman; as your husband, I will definitely find a way to cure your illness.” Xia Jia didn’t really lie; if Liu Meng were willing to practice dual cultivation with him, he would certainly be able to use the third needle within one year. Even if she wasn’t willing, for Li Yunman's sake, he would forcefully use it.
Liu Yunman is very smart and quickly understood that Xia Tian actually had a way to treat her uncle, but he simply didn't want to.
"Xia Tian, I know my uncle brought this upon himself and I also understand that Li Auntie shouldn't have spoken like that yesterday. But no matter what, promise me that when you can perform the third miraculous acupuncture needle, you'll treat my uncle, okay" Liu Yunman held Xia Tian's arm gently and pleaded.
Xia Tian really didn't want to treat Old Monkey Li Qi; he deserved to die for how he looked and still wanted five wives.
But as a man who cared deeply about his wife, Xia Tian couldn't bear to refuse Liu Yunman's request. After some thought, he said, "Alright, but I have one condition: that monkey has to pay first. Tell your aunts to get the money from him and deliver it to me within three days. If they don't, then let that monkey die."
Hearing this condition, Liu Yunman was stunned for a moment before nodding. "No problem, I'll tell my aunts right away!"
Liu Yunman knew clearly that this was Li Qi's last chance. If her family still didn't cooperate, she wouldn't care anymore.
Yesterday, Li Auntie had refused to believe Xia Tian and insisted on taking Uncle to the hospital. After going through the motions of treating him, the hospital gave them a notice stating that he was in critical condition. In the end, they still needed her to find Xia Tian. To be honest, Liu Yunman was already tired of this matter. What had started out as a simple issue had been made complicated by Uncle's family's antics. If only Uncle hadn't been so stubborn and mean-mouthed back then, how could he have ended up in such a predicament
Picking up her phone, Liu Yunman called her grandmother and told her about Xia Tian’s condition. She no longer had the energy to talk directly with those aunts.
"Xia Tian, I still need to go to the hospital. What about you—are you staying here or going out" After hanging up, Liu Yunman looked at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian wouldn't stay alone in such a place. Since Liu Yunman was heading to the hospital, he asked her to drop him off at Jianghai University on her way; after all, it took so much effort to make Xing Jie his true wife, and he needed to keep an eye on her.
In Xinxin's flower shop, Fang Xiaoru stared at Sun Xinxin for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask: "Sis Xinxin, did you use some high-end cosmetics How come you look so much prettier after just one night"
“What nonsense are you talking I'm still the same as before. There's no way I could have become more beautiful,” Sun Xinxin shot Fang Xiaoru a glance.
"Sis Xinxin, you really do look much prettier," Ding Ling also chimed in softly.
“Is that so” Sun Xinxin was momentarily stunned. She could dismiss what Fang Xiaoru said, but she knew Ding Ling wouldn’t joke around with her like this.
"Sis Xinxin, why don't you check the mirror" suggested Fang Xiaoru.
Earlier, Sun Xinxin had checked herself in the mirror and hadn't noticed any difference from before. Nevertheless, recalling Xia Tian's gaze when he looked at her earlier this summer, combined with what Ding Ling and Fang Xiaoru said, she couldn’t help but question whether she really did look prettier.
"Sis Xinxin, you truly didn’t use any cosmetics" asked Fang Xiaoru, still a little doubtful. "Hey, could it be that Xia Tian bought some high-end cosmetics for you secretly and hasn't told me about them yet"
Sun Xinxin rolled her eyes at Fang Xiaoru: “Why would I hide something like that if Xia Tian bought me cosmetics”
“That’s true. You are living together now, so it's no wonder he buys you stuff.” Fang Xiaoru muttered to herself; with Xia Tian having already gotten Sun Xinxin a diamond ring and even a Ferrari, some high-end cosmetics wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.
Hearing the word “living together,” Sun Xinxin’s cheeks couldn't help but redden. Now she truly was living together with Xia Tian, and an absurd thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that I became prettier because of last night...
"Pft, what am I thinking" Sun Xinxin spat at herself in her mind, but she never expected that her guess would actually turn out to be true.
“Oh no, bad!” Suddenly, Sun Xinxin remembered something. "XiaoRu, watch the flower shop for me; I need to buy some things!"
Sun Xinxin hurriedly ran outside but after a few steps, she bumped into someone's chest and heard that familiar voice: “Auntie Xin, did you miss me”
Sun Xinxin was at a loss for words as she looked up at Xia Tian with mock indignation. "Who said I missed you"
"If you didn't miss me, why did you run into my arms the moment I arrived" Xia Tian asked playfully.
“Don’t think that I’m unaware; it was definitely your doing to block my way on purpose.” Sun Xinxin glared at Xia Tian. "Stop fooling around! I need to buy something urgently from the pharmacy!"
Xia Tian, however, looked puzzled. “Auntie Xin, why do you need to go to a pharmacy Are you not feeling well somewhere If that's the case, let me help treat your illness!”
“I’m fine everywhere!” Sun Xinxin blushed and lowered her voice. "You little pervert! It’s all because of what you did; I need to buy emergency contraceptives in case I end up pregnant!"
"Auntie Xin, are you not planning on having children" Xia Tian asked offhandedly, but his voice was rather loud and it caught Fang Xiaoru's attention inside the shop.
She heard her loudly exclaim: “Ah Auntie Xin, do you already have a child”
Sun Xinxin was both embarrassed and annoyed: "What are you yelling about Who said I have a child"
"Xinjie, I heard Xia Tian say so!" Fang Xiaoru felt quite innocent.
"If you didn't understand what was said clearly, don’t make up nonsense!" Sun Xinxin said in an unhappy tone. To avoid being misinterpreted by Fang Xiaoru, Sun Xinxin decided to speak out: "I'm just worried about getting pregnant and I need to buy some contraceptive pills."
"Xinjie, you've been living together with Xia Tian for so many days now; is it a bit too late to be buying contraceptive pills now" Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but say.
"What do you mean by 'living together for so many days' I only just moved in last night..." Sun Xinxin couldn’t help but rebut, though she was somewhat reluctant to continue and shot a glare at Fang Xiaoru: "Anyway, don’t spread rumors around."
"Uh, Xinjie, I won't say anything." Fang Xiaoru, who had been worried about losing her job, finally decided not to joke any further.
"Xinjie, such a small task as buying medicine should be left for me to do," Ding Ling walked out and said softly.
"If you go buy contraceptive pills, people might think you did something last night!" Sun Xinxin shook her head. "I'll go."
"Xinjie, if you don't want to get pregnant, there's no need for you to buy contraceptive pills; I have a solution," Xia Tian couldn’t help but say.
"What kind of method do you have" Sun Xinxin was somewhat doubtful.
"Sis Xin, contraceptive pills have side effects. I can help you avoid pregnancy with acupuncture; it has no side effects!" Summer replied.
Sun Xinxin was still a bit skeptical: "Summer, I haven't heard of contraception through acupuncture before. Are you really sure about this If you're not confident, I'll just buy some contraceptive pills. I don't want to get pregnant."
"Sis Xin, rest assured! I'm a divine doctor!" Summer said confidently.
Sun Xinxin thought it over and decided to believe in Summer this time. She also told herself that if the little pervert really got her pregnant, she would keep the baby and make his life miserable from then on.
"Summer, then please start acupuncture for me now." Sun Xinxin felt a bit anxious after such a long wait and urged Summer to begin.
"Sure." Summer agreed. He took Sun Xinxin into the florist shop and started needling her. In his view, contraception through acupuncture was an easy task; he only needed one needle to solve it without any side effects, which was better than taking contraceptive pills.
“Is this all” Fang Xiaoru, standing by, watched as Summer merely needled around Sun Xinxin's navel for less than a minute and asked in doubt.
"Of course. If you don't believe me, I can try it on you too; not only contraception but sterilization is possible." Summer said casually.
However, Sun Xinxin was shocked: "Ah, Summer, d-don’t make me sterile!"
Sun Xinxin didn't want a child now, but that didn't mean she wouldn't in the future. She just felt it wasn't appropriate to have one at this moment; after all, she thought Summer was still like a kid sometimes.ced towards Meier.By the time Mu Han wanted to stop him, it was too late.
