Chapter 9

Next, Fang Tianfeng continuously used the Qi-Inducing Technique to extract the sick qi from Shen Xin's head. After half an hour, the qi river in his body was almost depleted, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The sick qi in Shen Xin's head had only decreased slightly, less than a thousandth, but due to the effect of the Qi-Inducing Technique and the primordial qi, her condition had improved somewhat.

In Fang Tianfeng's dantian, there was now a thin, blue-black thread of sick qi, finer than a needle. Fang Tianfeng sensed that he could control this sick qi, and he was very satisfied. This was the first time he had successfully used the Qi-Inducing Technique.

"If the old man in my dream was right, this small thread of sick qi, though tiny, can instantly worsen a serious illness if used to attack someone with the Qi-Soldier Technique, killing them without a trace."

Fang Tianfeng removed his hand from Shen Xin's forehead and found that she had fallen asleep. At this moment, her breathing was even, and the signs of exhaustion on her face had completely disappeared, even giving her a radiant appearance.

"It seems to have worked, that's great!" Fang Tianfeng was very pleased.

Fang Tianfeng reached out to wake Shen Xin but stopped. Her migraines had been getting worse recently, and her sleep was irregular, often leading to insomnia. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked so haggard.

Fang Tianfeng didn't disturb Shen Xin. He quietly leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and was a bit tired.

Two hours passed, and Fang Tianfeng's stomach growled. He looked at Shen Xin and saw that she was still deeply asleep, showing no signs of waking up, which left him in a dilemma.

After a moment, he bent down, picked up Shen Xin, and slowly walked to the bedroom, gently placing her on the bed. She was wearing a bathrobe, which was not good for sleep, but since their relationship wasn't that intimate, Fang Tianfeng didn't help her take it off. He found a thin blanket and covered her with it.

After leaving the bedroom, Fang Tianfeng remembered the purpose of his visit. He hadn't even asked Shen Xin for the keys, and he didn't know the address of the villa.

Fang Tianfeng could only wait, hoping she would wake up soon. He found some pastries in the fridge, ate them, and then watched TV and played on his phone.

The only group he often followed was a classmate and gaming group, which had only six people, all of whom were high school classmates. They had gathered because of their love for games and had maintained their connection for many years. There were many other groups, but he generally didn't bother to check them.

At the moment, the group was discussing the usual topic of games. The one who was most enthusiastic was Yue Chengyu, who was not only Fang Tianfeng's high school classmate but also his middle school classmate. Fang Tianfeng had received a text message from Yue Chengyu that morning, inviting him to play a game.

Fang Tianfeng found Yue Chengyu's talk increasingly unrealistic and couldn't help but laugh and scold him, joining the conversation.

By ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Xin still hadn't woken up. Fang Tianfeng was very frustrated. He wanted to go home but was afraid that Shen Xin might have some issues after the treatment. Reluctantly, he decided to sleep on the sofa.

A scream in the early morning woke Fang Tianfeng.

"Ah..."

Then, the bedroom door opened, and Shen Xin, wearing a bathrobe, rushed out. Her face was full of surprise, as if something wonderful had happened.

Yesterday, Shen Xin had looked haggard and much older, but now her dark circles were gone, and her skin was as smooth as a teenager's, looking very healthy and about five to six years younger.

Fang Tianfeng quickly stood up, a bit dazed.

Shen Xin rushed over, her footsteps thudding on the floor. She grabbed Fang Tianfeng's arms and excitedly shouted, "Xiao Tianfeng, you were amazing last night!"

Fang Tianfeng was startled and quickly said, "Xin Jie, I didn't do anything, don't misunderstand!"

Shen Xin was taken aback, then burst into laughter, her face blooming like a flower. She reached out and gently pinched Fang Tianfeng's face, saying, "What are you thinking? I'm talking about your qi gong last night! I haven't slept so well in years. I just looked in the mirror, and my complexion has improved a lot. Xiao Tianfeng, thank you!"

Gratitude and warmth shone in Shen Xin's eyes.

Fang Tianfeng sighed with relief and said, "Xin Jie, don't say that. When I was on my way home last night, I realized that if Manager Zhuang demands compensation, I might go bankrupt. You helped me so much, so it's only right that I help you with your illness."

Shen Xin was straightforward and said, "If that's how you feel, I won't be pretentious. How about this, I'll recognize you as my little brother, okay?"

She looked at Fang Tianfeng expectantly. She had suffered from her illness for years, almost to the point of despair. Now, seeing hope for a cure, her gratitude to Fang Tianfeng was immeasurable.

Fang Tianfeng hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, "Sis!"

Shen Xin smiled broadly, hugged Fang Tianfeng tightly, and then looked up, asking, "According to our agreement, you have to continue treating me until I'm fully cured, right?"

Fang Tianfeng, who was a head taller than Shen Xin, looked down at her and said, "Xin Jie, rest assured, I'll keep my word."

Shen Xin's face lit up with joy, then she asked anxiously, "My heart condition is more serious than my migraines. Is there any hope of treating it?"

Fang Tianfeng shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that. I feel that in a few years, I might be able to cure your migraines, but your heart condition seems to be a more fundamental problem. For example, if you cut your finger, I can treat it, but if your finger is completely severed and the part is missing, I can't make it grow back."

In fact, Fang Tianfeng didn't know how powerful the Tianyun Decree would be when fully cultivated.

Shen Xin's face showed disappointment, and she sighed, "I'm over thirty, and it doesn't matter if I don't have a man, but I've always wanted a child. If my heart condition can't be cured, I'll have to adopt one."

Fang Tianfeng smiled and comforted her, "Xin Jie, a woman in her thirties is like a flower, you're still young. You've seen how my qi gong has improved your complexion; it might even have a beautifying effect."

Shen Xin tightly grabbed Fang Tianfeng's arm and exclaimed, "Really?"

Fang Tianfeng had underestimated women's desire for beauty and youth. He had only meant to comfort her, but with her question, he had to say, "I'll try my best." He knew that primordial qi had various miraculous effects, but he wasn't sure how it would work on others.

"Xiao Feng, you're so kind!" Shen Xin's eyes sparkled, and she was extremely excited. She had already seen her face in the mirror and looked younger than she had a year ago, so she believed it without doubt.

Fang Tianfeng quickly changed the subject, saying, "Xin Jie, my current cultivation is still weak, so I'm helpless with your heart condition. But in a few years, even if I can't completely cure your heart, I can use qi gong to protect you during childbirth."

Shen Xin nodded and said, "Your willingness to help is enough for me. Now that you've recognized me as your sister, I'll do everything I can for you. I'll call the CEO of Dongjiang Information Port today, and you can start work tomorrow. As for Manager Zhuang, he won't dare say a word!"

As she spoke, Shen Xin slowly straightened her chest, regaining her manager's demeanor.

Fang Tianfeng understood that their relationship had been good before, and Shen Xin had already done her best to suppress Manager Zhuang. Now that they were recognized as siblings, this relationship was enough for Shen Xin to completely ignore Manager Zhuang.

Fang Tianfeng had long made up his mind not to work for others and to create his own world!

He thought for a moment and said, "Xin Jie, thank you for your kindness. But right now, I mainly want to cultivate qi gong, so working isn't suitable for me. Taking care of the villa is more appropriate."

Shen Xin smiled with satisfaction and said slowly, "I understand your meaning. You have your own ideas and your own path, and I'm very happy for you. If you need anything in the future, come to me. I'm not just a figurehead! I may be a bit down on my luck now, but my connections are still intact."

A warm current surged in Fang Tianfeng's heart. He knew that although Shen Xin didn't say much, she was very determined. As long as he asked, she would do her best to help.

"Thank you, Xin Jie!" Fang Tianfeng secretly vowed to help Shen Xin overcome her illness.

"You're my little brother!" Shen Xin habitually pinched Fang Tianfeng's face and turned to the kitchen. "Go take a shower, and I'll prepare breakfast! My cooking is excellent, and I'll make sure to satisfy my great benefactor!"

Fang Tianfeng had only brought a shoulder bag and had no underwear or toiletries, so he didn't shower. He rinsed his mouth and washed his face, then took out some mint-flavored gum from his bag.

In the kitchen, the sizzling sounds were chaotic. Shen Xin, wearing an apron, saw Fang Tianfeng come out and quickly said, "Why so fast? There are spare toothbrushes and cups under the sink, and spare towels in my bedroom. Use them, don't be so formal."

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter for one day. I can wait until I get home to shower. Let me help you."

Shen Xin glared at him and said, "Go back and sit down! Who lets a man cook? Go back."

Fang Tianfeng laughed and said, "Whoever marries Xin Jie will be very lucky. Nowadays, a man who can't cook well can't get a wife."

Shen Xin smiled and said, "You're Xiao Feng. I wouldn't bother cooking for anyone else. By the way, can you eat greasy food in the morning?"

In just one day, Shen Xin's way of addressing Fang Tianfeng had changed from Tianfeng to Xiao Feng.

Fang Tianfeng said, "I can eat anything, but you should make more. Your cooking is definitely excellent, and it would be a waste to eat too little."

Shen Xin smiled proudly.

"Then I'll make more! But I didn't buy any ingredients this morning, so there won't be much variety. Come back tonight, and I'll show you my real skills. From now on, I'll take care of your dinner!"

"Okay!" Fang Tianfeng was actually a bit embarrassed to trouble Shen Xin, but thinking about treating her, he didn't refuse.

Fang Tianfeng sat back on the sofa and began to observe his cultivation.

Last night, he had another dream of an old man talking incessantly, explaining various things.

Before he went to sleep last night, the qi river in his body was almost depleted, but now it was not only fully restored but had increased slightly.

The more primordial qi in the qi river, the stronger the body, and the more powerful the Qi-Inducing Technique and the Qi-Soldier Technique would be.

"Sleeping can actually increase my cultivation. Could it be that the full name of the Tianyun Decree is 'Dream Tianyun Decree'? No, it must be related to the Tianyun Sect's legacy, making cultivation more discreet. Nice, I like it!"

Fang Tianfeng was a normal modern person. If he had to wake up early and work hard to cultivate, he would rather be killed. The Tianyun Decree allowed him to cultivate without effort and even in his dreams, making it the perfect cultivation method for a lazy person.
