Chapter 497: The Miracle Doctor’s Treatment

—

Not long ago, An Buyu’s treatment had shifted her role from a “female antagonist” in the “plot” to a heroine.

But now, Zhao Yu was undergoing the opposite transformation—turning from a heroine into a true antagonist.

“Seeing how close she is with Zhu Nan…”

“Could it be that Zhu Nan’s influence is rubbing off on her?”

Wang Haoran mused internally.

The Cold Essence Yin Marrow Physique.

This unique physique made Zhao Yu’s entire body resemble a piece of jade.

However, the faint, pervasive cold energy clung to the surface of the “jade,” densely spread across her body.

This was far more challenging than treating An Buyu.

Moreover, since this cold energy was continuously generated by her physique, Wang Haoran’s massage treatment could only provide temporary relief.

To truly resolve the issue, Zhao Yu would need to cultivate a specific Yin-attribute technique to harness and control the cold energy.

But Wang Haoran had no intention of going out of his way to find such a technique for her—

Even though providing monthly “body adjustments” was also a hassle, the two were clearly not the same.

—

At this moment.

In the hospital room.

Preparing for her treatment, Zhao Yu lay flat on the bed, shyly lifting her shirt to reveal her flat lower abdomen.

Faced with this situation, the “compassionate healer,” Wang Haoran, who had “no choice but to touch a young lady’s shy areas for the sake of treatment.”

Maintained a calm expression, with not a hint of impropriety in his heart.

“Don’t worry, you’ll feel better soon.”

“That’s right, Haoran is amazing,” Zhu Nan chimed in supportively from the side.

To demonstrate his expertise, “Traditional Medicine Master” Wang Haoran placed his hand on her dantian while casually chatting with her:

“Miss Zhao Yu, while your condition only surfaced today.”

“It must have caused minor issues for your body long before this.”

For example—

“You probably don’t feel like a normal person, right? Are you… sexually frigid?”

“…!?”

The moment Wang Haoran said this, both Zhu Nan and Zhao Yu’s mother turned to Zhao Yu in shock, their gazes filled with disbelief.

Embarrassed, Zhao Yu lowered her head.

But for the sake of successful treatment, she confessed her symptoms to the doctor.

“Y-yes, that’s true…”

“I… always feel cold and can’t feel like a normal person…”

To put it simply, she was “numb.”

Her body’s condition was akin to running on a cold, dry track—not conducive to “movement.”

Wang Haoran nodded, “That explains it. Normally, when someone feels sensations, their body heats up. But your body’s cold energy freezes those sensations, so they disappear.”

“But don’t worry, I can fix this for you!”

With that, Wang Haoran began moving his hand with practiced ease.

“How does it feel? Are you starting to feel warm?”

“…Mm…” As a warm sensation flowed into her, Zhao Yu felt as if an ice block in her dantian was slowly melting…

She couldn’t help but bury her face in the blanket in shame.

Meanwhile, as Wang Haoran worked gently, his mind was preoccupied—

Zhao Yu had previously been simply “numb,” but now she had suddenly awakened the Cold Essence Yin Marrow Physique.

While this physique could theoretically awaken later in life, Zhao Yu was only at the Hidden Strength stage. How was this possible? After all, if fully developed, the Cold Essence Yin Marrow Physique could easily lead to the Two Yi Realm!

“This physique… doesn’t match the ‘version’ at all…”

Because of this, finding a suitable cultivation technique for Zhao Yu was nearly impossible.

Unless Wang Haoran purchased one from the system or sought help from Xue Jinghong, who had come from the cultivation world.

“What triggered this transformation in her…”

“And as an antagonist, who is she supposed to ‘antagonize’…”

—

Soon, after Wang Haoran thoroughly and gently worked through the “flawless white jade,” ensuring it was warmed and glowing.

The treatment was finally complete.

“Miss Zhao Yu, you’re all set. Your body should return to normal for now.”

“If you start feeling cold again, let Nan Nan know, and I’ll help you with another treatment.”

“…Thank you…” Zhao Yu’s weak voice came from under the blanket.

However, her entire head remained buried, too embarrassed to show her face.

Wang Haoran didn’t mind.

He knew that throughout the treatment, Zhao Yu had kept her face buried in the blanket, biting it to stifle any sounds.

By the end of the treatment, she had even orgasm…

With his keen sense of smell, Wang Haoran had detected the faint fragrance of a long-preserved flower blooming for the first time.

“Miss Zhao Yu, take care.”

“Xiao Yu, rest well.”

Having completed his role as the “miracle doctor,” Wang Haoran left the room with Zhu Nan.

“…Goodbye…”

Only after they reached the door did Zhao Yu sneak a glance at their departing figures.

But the shame in her heart refused to dissipate—

Why was her body so uncooperative…

It was supposed to be a simple, professional treatment… yet she…

She couldn’t even suppress the hope that Wang Haoran’s hand would move beyond that small area…

That he would explore ↓▽(!)…

“Is it because I’ve been numb for so long that everything’s exploding at once now…”

For some reason, she felt as if she had just secretly done something intimate with Zhu Nan’s boyfriend in front of her…

Flustered and conflicted, Zhao Yu felt like a girl who had just experienced her first time.

Ashamed, yet unable to stop replaying it in her mind.

“He’s Aunt Zhu’s man…”

“And he was kind enough to help me. How could I think of him like that…”

Thinking about the future, where she would occasionally need to be “gently treated” until she felt “?”

When she closed her eyes, Wang Haoran’s face appeared in her mind, making Zhao Yu curl up into a ball—

“Aunt Zhu, I’m sorry…”
