Chapter 37

"Get your hands off my chest, you little pervert!" Qin Wan'er's voice of exasperation echoed through the room.

"Just a touch won't make it explode, right? You're faking it," Guo Guo said disdainfully.

"Guo Guo! You're touching again!"

"Big Sister Wan'er, you won't damage them, right? They're so expensive! Why don't you try the 36G I bought for myself?"

Qin Wan'er collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly exasperated. This little devil had really driven her crazy. She had even bought herself underwear, and it was even a 36G size?!

She couldn't understand how such a refined and gentle mother like Ruan Qingshuang could give birth to such a cunning, shrewd, and peculiar little demon.

Xu Yun walked to the door of Qin Wan'er's room with a mischievous smile, knocked three times, and loudly said, "Qin Wan'er, do you need my help?"

"Xu Yun! If you come in, I'll kill you!" Qin Wan'er's voice immediately rose to a hundred-decibel scream as she grabbed her clothes to cover her naked body.

Guo Guo urged from inside, "Dad, Dad, come help me hold it up. I'll open the door for you right away! Hehehe!"

"Guo Guo!" Qin Wan'er swore this was the most speechless father-daughter pair she had ever seen!

Ruan Qingshuang shook her head helplessly. This group of people really made her laugh and cry. She never thought her life would become so colorful one day.

"Qin Wan'er, hurry up and come out. I have something important to tell you. If you don't come out, I'll really come in," Xu Yun continued to scare Qin Wan'er, then sat on the sofa and said to Ruan Qingshuang, "Regarding Guo Guo's important life matters, you as a mother should listen too."

Ruan Qingshuang was stunned, looking at Xu Yun with a puzzled expression. Guo Guo was only seven years old. Was it too early to talk about important life matters? She, as a mother, hadn't even thought about her own life matters yet!

Qin Wan'er, who had been scared by Xu Yun, quickly put on her clothes and dragged the mischievous Guo Guo out. "What is it? What important matter do you have to tell me?"

It's not that Qin Wan'er didn't trust Xu Yun, but he never told her about serious matters. For example, he didn't call her when he went to raid the Four Wolves Gang's hideout today.

"School is starting soon. Help find a school for Guo Guo," Xu Yun smiled slightly. "It's not a good idea for Guo Guo to stay at the herbal restaurant every day."

Ruan Qingshuang's eyes flashed. She hadn't expected Xu Yun to be so considerate. She had thought about Guo Guo's schooling before and had consulted two primary schools, but Guo Guo didn't have a local household registration, so she couldn't attend school here. The better the school, the stricter the management.

Qin Wan'er nodded, not thinking it was a problem at all. "No problem. The best primary school in our Hedong City is the Bilingual International School, which is famous nationwide."

"Wan'er," Ruan Qingshuang said with a helpless expression, "I've asked around. Without a household registration, almost no school will accept Guo Guo."

Qin Wan'er frowned. "No household registration? You, as a mother, ... wait, does Guo Guo not even have a household registration? Sister Qingshuang, were you too young when you gave birth to Guo Guo? So..."

"What are you talking about? Guo Guo is... is..." Ruan Qingshuang didn't want to mention that Guo Guo was adopted, fearing it would hurt her.

But Guo Guo looked radiant and said without any pressure, "I was picked up by Mom."

"Uh..." Qin Wan'er was completely stunned. No wonder the two had such different personalities.

Xu Yun raised his eyebrows. "What do you think? We're all strangers here. You, as a local, shouldn't find this a problem, right?"

Guo Guo looked at Qin Wan'er with great anticipation. "Big Sister Wan'er, Guo Guo's important life matters depend on you."

Qin Wan'er looked at the tearful Guo Guo, thinking about her tragic background of being adopted. Her heart ached. What a cute child, how could her background be so pitiful? She had to solve this for Guo Guo!

"Guo Guo, don't worry! Big Sister Wan'er will definitely get you into the best primary school!" Qin Wan'er promised with a thump on her chest.

Guo Guo stuck out her tongue. "I love Big Sister Wan'er so much, but you screamed so loud when I touched you. Aren't you afraid it will burst? It seems it's real."

"Of course it's real!" Qin Wan'er was so angry she gritted her teeth. This brat actually dared to doubt her chest. Wait, was this her way of showing gratitude?

Xu Yun was a bit dizzy. Guo Guo was so happy. If he were a girl, it would be great to help big sisters put on their bras...

"Keep looking, and I'll gouge out your eyes!" Qin Wan'er shot a cold glance at Xu Yun.

Ruan Qingshuang grabbed Qin Wan'er's hand. "Wan'er, I don't know how to thank you!"

"Sister Qingshuang, you're being too formal with me," Qin Wan'er pretended to be angry. "Are you treating me like an outsider?"

"Of course not!" Ruan Qingshuang waved her hands quickly.

Guo Guo flattered, "Big Sister Wan'er isn't an outsider. I'm even considering making her my stepmom, but I'm afraid Mom will be jealous."

Ruan Qingshuang decided she couldn't let Guo Guo get away with this. She picked up Guo Guo and smiled apologetically at Qin Wan'er, then walked back to the room, scolding Guo Guo, "If you keep being naughty, I'll lock you in the dark room. Go to bed with Mom!"

"Thank goodness I'm not her mom," Qin Wan'er sighed, patting her chest. If she had such a daughter, she would definitely be driven crazy.

Xu Yun drank the water in his cup. "Thanks for helping with Guo Guo's matter."

"Wow, when did you become so sweet?" Qin Wan'er said with a look of disbelief.

Xu Yun snorted. "Then I'll curse you to never wear that bra again."

"Damn Xu Yun!" Qin Wan'er grabbed a sofa cushion and hit him. Xu Yun quickly got up and ran back to his room to hide.

After they all fell asleep, Chou Yan came to Xu Yun's room again. She had to insist on the acupuncture! Only when her internal injuries were healed could she return to her original violent fox spirit form and have the strength to protect Guo Guo!

Xu Yun had already prepared the silver needles in the room. He smiled and waited for Chou Yan to take off her top. After the first struggle, Chou Yan no longer hesitated, turned her back to Xu Yun, and took off her top without any hesitation.

"Today might be a bit uncomfortable. Bear with it. Although the blood stasis in your body has been cleared, there is still a special internal force causing trouble," Xu Yun said as he took out the silver needles.

Chou Yan nodded and didn't hesitate, taking out the silver needles. She decided to do what she could herself...

Xu Yun thrust the needle directly into the Lingtai point. A hundred threads of internal force flowed through the silver needle into Chou Yan's body. A strange internal force suddenly rose in Chou Yan's body, colliding with the internal force!

Chou Yan felt a sharp pain in her body, and her meridians instantly became chaotic. She closed her eyes tightly, and the silver needle slipped from her hand, falling to the ground.

"Stay calm!" Xu Yun was startled. He hadn't expected this to happen!

Chou Yan had actually been hit by the Seven Deadly Palms! Although Xu Yun knew there were many experts in the world, only a top-tier expert could have such a refined mastery of the Seven Deadly Palms! Or it could be a super expert who had broken through the bottleneck of a top-tier expert!

Xu Yun couldn't help but draw a cold breath. No wonder Chou Yan was willing to separate from Guo Guo. The person who wanted to harm them was indeed terrifying!

A fierce internal force suddenly broke through Xu Yun's silver needle and directly attacked the Zhongting point on Chou Yan's chest!

"Bad!" Xu Yun was alarmed. At this moment, he didn't care about propriety. He slapped Chou Yan's left shoulder with his left hand. As Chou Yan turned to face him, Xu Yun's right hand already held the silver needle and thrust it into the Zhongting point on her chest!

The internal force from the Zhongting point was instantly neutralized by Xu Yun's internal force and expelled from her body through the silver needle. Chou Yan's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, leaving a trail of blood on her lips.

Phew... It was a close call. Xu Yun's forehead was drenched in sweat. If he had hesitated for a moment, the evil force would have directly attacked Chou Yan's heart and lungs through the Zhongting and Yutang points. By then, it would have been too late.

Everything calmed down, and Xu Yun realized Chou Yan was facing him. Uh... It wasn't that he was trying to take advantage of the situation; it was a matter of life and death.

To avoid a nosebleed, Xu Yun quickly turned his head and was also afraid that Chou Yan might suddenly lose control. The Longyuan soft sword wasn't a kitchen knife for cutting tofu...

Chou Yan didn't have time to care about such things. She focused all her energy on adjusting her breathing until her meridians were smooth.

The whole time, Xu Yun watched the night view from the window. A few drunkards were vomiting all over each other, which made Xu Yun feel quite nauseous. The night view outside was vastly different from the one inside!

Chou Yan finally calmed her breathing. Although she knew Xu Yun had seen her body, she didn't say anything. She just quietly put on her coat. She didn't blame Xu Yun because she knew she owed him her life.

Before leaving, Chou Yan took out the small bottle of precious medicine Xu Yun had given her and placed it on the table. "The Nine Treasure Soul Reviving Pill is very precious. You helped me with the acupuncture and used your internal force to neutralize the evil force in my body. I don't need this medicine anymore, so I'm returning it to you."

Xu Yun picked it up and threw it back to Chou Yan. "I have plenty of strength pills. You can eat them as snacks."

"What?" Chou Yan was repeatedly shocked by Xu Yun. He actually said he had plenty and could eat them as snacks? It was beyond luxurious!

Xu Yun stopped joking and said seriously, "This might be precious to you, but it's not that important to me. Today, I could use the silver needle to expel the remaining evil force from the Seven Deadly Palms in your body because of the medicine's power. If you want to recover faster, keep taking it. You might not need acupuncture anymore."

"You..." Chou Yan didn't know what to say. She turned and left Xu Yun's room.

Chou Yan didn't know how to repay Xu Yun. Words were useless. She silently told herself that her life belonged to Xu Yun from now on.

Xu Yun put away the silver needles and went to sleep. He increasingly felt that Chou Yan's personality was very similar to someone else's, always keeping things to herself.
