Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"Of course, I've done dual cultivation... but not often, just occasionally, sometimes practice a bit. What does senior sister want to ask?"

Wangshu's blue eyes fluttered. She thought she hadn't asked any questions following that.

"I want to ask, did I do something wrong..."

"Did something wrong? Why do you say that?" Ji Lingruo was a bit surprised. With senior brother around, what could go wrong? Surely, it couldn't be that she went to the wrong place.

"It's just... it's just that the junior brother has been sleeping the whole time and can't even get out of bed..."

Wangshu lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, "Last night I asked him if I did something wrong, but he wouldn't say anything. As a result, slowly he couldn't even open his eyes. In the morning, at dawn, I found his face looking quite bad..."

Ji Lingruo listened with a raised eyebrow, her expression towards her senior sister turned from strange to admiring.

She, of course, knew this wasn't the senior sister's fault, but rather a certain man who was too proud and overexerted himself until he was exhausted.

She almost forgot, the senior sister was the leading young sword cultivator of the Zhongyuan Continent. For a sword cultivator, her physique was naturally among the best of her peers. The advantage that the senior brother was so proud of in front of her senior sister seemed somewhat inadequate.

"Senior sister, don't worry, I'll accompany you to take a look first."

Ji Lingruo's mouth curved into a playful smile, just smiling at how there's always a taller mountain.

The two women pushed open the door, the lingering intimate scent in the room was all too familiar to Ji Lingruo.

"Junior sister... why are you here?"

You Su blinked drowsily, his face visibly exhausted, and he quietly pulled the quilt up a little tighter.

"Came to see you, senior sister said you were sick."

"Sick? How could that be." You Su showed a troubled expression, and tried to say, "Old illness, just a relapse..."

"Old illness? How come I've never heard of you having an old illness?"

Ji Lingruo sat on the edge of the bed, her face showing fake concern.

The confused Wangshu still stood gracefully by the side, full of guilt, waiting for the junior sister to diagnose the junior brother.

"Hehe, it's nothing serious. I'll be fine after some rest..."

"Junior brother, that's not right. When you're sick, you should get treatment. I'll go find the Third Elder to have her check on you."

"Senior sister, please don't!" You Su quickly called out to Wangshu.

"No need to trouble the Third Elder, I know this illness of senior brother's, and I can take a look for him."

"Really?! Then I'm counting on you, junior sister!" Wangshu was still blaming herself for her error.

"Lift the quilt, let me see the affected area."

"Is the affected area under the quilt?" Wangshu was a bit puzzled.

"There's no need for that, junior sister..." You Su held onto the quilt.

"Junior brother, you need to be obedient!" Wangshu said with righteous determination.

Immediately, Wangshu pried You Su's hand away, and with a swift motion, she pulled the quilt away as if revealing You Su's last covering, giving him no chance to refuse.

Ji Lingruo found it highly amusing to see her senior brother exposed naked.

She playfully raised an eyebrow, took a good look at the area You Su was trying to cover with his hands, and clicked her tongue, saying:

"Tsk tsk, it's swollen, isn't it? How reluctant can you be..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

You Su coughed heavily, wanting his junior sister to give him some face. After all, the senior sister didn't quite understand these things yet. Maybe she didn't know from midnight on, You Su had been barely holding on.

But Ji Lingruo was certainly not going to leave it as he wished, "Weakness in the waist and knees, dizziness, eye blurriness; swelling and no erectness in the affected area. Senior sister, this illness of senior brother's, though not grave, it's significant enough. It's called kidney deficiency illness. Hmm, it is indeed an old ailment of senior brother."

"Kidney deficiency illness? Do we need to tell the Third Elder and ask her to prescribe some medicine?" Wangshu was quite concerned.

"No way!" You Su's pale face turned slightly red due to the sudden surge of frustration.

Ji Lingruo burst into laughter, "Senior sister, give senior brother some face. This illness is a private matter, it can't be divulged to outsiders. I know the prescription, and later I'll accompany you to get some antler and epimedium for senior brother."

"Hmm! Thank you, junior sister!" Wangshu sincerely expressed her gratitude.

You Su's face was a mix of different emotions, his vitality was so abundant, how could he have a kidney deficiency? It's just that the difficulty of the senior sister's challenge was beyond what he had imagined. To leave a good impression, he had to grit his teeth and endure. At this point, he could only brace himself and accept this illness.

"Oh, and senior sister, treating this illness can't rely on diet alone. Other methods must be used in conjunction."

"What methods?"

Only to see Ji Lingruo mysteriously take a book out from her Qiankun Bag, "This is a secret manual from our original sect, specifically addressing this. I've mastered it and coincidentally offering it to senior sister to learn, it could be used to treat senior brother's illness."

You Su's sword-like brows twitched, suspecting his affected area was feeling chilly.

Wangshu gratefully accepted the book and mumbled, reading aloud:

"Something, something, 108 styles..."

You Su's pupils widened slightly, and his left eyelid twitched incessantly.

He knew his junior sister didn't have good intentions. This method was not for curing kidney deficiency but for causing it!

He took note of his junior sister's mischievousness and decided that next time he would definitely regain his dignity with her.

While he couldn't handle the senior sister easily just yet, bullying the junior sister with his current strength, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

...

After resting for a few days on the peak, You Su didn't attempt dual cultivation again, having neither the interest nor the energy.

At the time, besides being physically exhausted, another significant factor was the senior sister's initial Yin.

This pure energy was too immense, and simply refining it took You Su three whole days. He found it difficult to describe the sensation; it was a completely different experience from with his junior sister or Miss Xueruo. It didn't bring about a change in cultivation level; it felt as though he had experienced an awakening, like reviving from a black coffin, as if his entire being had been elevated.

The Profound Qi in his spiritual platform had not increased at all; the changes were within his spiritual platform and his origin, both becoming sturdier and purer.
