Chapter 798

798 14.74 Last Violet Star – Treatment

Hei Anjing awoke at about 12 o’clock in the afternoon. Looking for the person who was supposed to be sleeping next to him, he waves his hand around the bed. When he noticed that the warmth on the bed’s side had disappeared, he pouted. It was obvious that the person who was supposed to be lying next to him had already gotten out of bed.

He opened his eyes as he gently rose off the bed. He turned to look and noticed his spouse seated at the small table next to the bed, sipping tea. He was overjoyed to see that he didn’t leave him alone. Half of his body was still on the bed as he moved over and embraced his husband’s neck from behind.

Hei Anjing spoke, “My love, did you clean me up while I’m asleep? Mwaa!” He kissed his husband’s cheeks lovingly.

His hair was lightly ruffled when a huge hand landed on his head. He was then abruptly pulled off the edge and embraced by Xia Jieye as he fell on his lap.

Xia Jieye responded to his question, “I woke up early because of the children. I’ve cleaned you up properly and you didn’t wake up as if you were in deep sleep.”

“Don’t you have duties in the sect, my love?” asked Hei Anjing.

Xia Jieye says, “I will go later after sending you to Jin Shiyan’s place. For now, let’s eat breakfast.” As he carried his wife towards the dining table full of light dishes.

He prepared sweet porridge as well as beef dumplings that were steamed and served with stir-fried vegetables. For dessert, there are a few pastries in the form of flowers. Hei Anjing’s eyes light up when he notices the delectable meal on the table. He would typically be the one to prepare meals for the household. His husband used to be a terrifying cook who could even set a house on fire by just heating a kettle over the fire.

“Husband, I love you! This meal is great. How did you know I wanted to eat dumplings?” asked Hei Anjing.

.....

A doting smile surfaced on Xia Jieye’s face and replied, “You murmured it in your sleep just now. I made all the dishes you said in your sleep except for the grilled buttered and cheese oyster which would be made for dinner tonight.”

Hei Anjing lavished kisses on his lover’s face like a playful child in his joy. However, it was clear that his husband would not be pleased by such immature kisses, and the predator quickly grabbed his lips before he could respond. Before Hei Anjing was permitted to have a meal similar to the ones he had in his dreams, they shared a long, passionate kiss.

After his spouse finished eating a hearty meal, Xia Jieye dispatched his wife to Jin Shiyan’s courtyard on a nearby mountain. Jin Yanli had already departed for his morning lecture and training with the other Crimson Cloud Peak’s disciples. Therefore, only Bai Lili was present to greet Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye when they arrived in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Chun Hongyun-Jun, she immediately cupped her hands and politely greeted Xia Jieye.

“Lili had seen brother-in-law!”

“Um. I will leave Jing’er here and pick him up later for dinner. The lunch would be sent by a disciple so go wait for it,” said Xia Jieye as he returned Bai Lili’s greetings with a nod.

Chun Hongyun-Jun is dressed in his customary white garb, but he no longer resembles an austere god; rather, he resembles a tyrannical god with a dark side. Proud and unyielding, as if everyone owed him the honor of being their lord.

Only Hei Anjing would notice his gentleness even if he seemed detached from the outside world.

In Xia Jieye’s eyes, his wife appeared to be the only living thing, which allowed him to maintain his stance as though he were the only person in his life. The one he cherishes most and the most important one.

Hei Anjing, this cold-hearted man, would only display his genuine smile to Xia Jieye. As if an iceberg melting under the sun, this cruel god would surrender to this man. Out of everything in this world, this person has already been considered everything in Hei Anjing’s life.

“For lunch, I want some custard and chocolate buns as well as some crepes and milk tea!” said Hei Anjing.

Xia Jieye responded, “Noted. I will have Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang send it here. Don’t tire yourself too much, Jing’er.”

“I promise. I won’t. You as well, my love,” said Hei Anjing as he kissed his lover’s cheeks before they separated.

After giving his wife a forehead kiss, Xia Jieye took a flight to the main peak to begin his responsibilities. When Bai Lili saw this, she couldn’t help but blush despite being served a full dish of dog kibble. Others would be envious and supportive as they witnessed two attractive people express their love in such an open way. Particularly for someone like her, who was conscious of the suffering this couple had had over the years.

Hei Anjing noticed the red cheeks of his younger sister and commented, “Hm? You’re already a married lady, how come you feel embarrassed seeing me and your brother-in-law interact like that?”

“Dear brother, the impact of seeing two handsome men in a loving scene is different from seeing a normal couple being lovey-dovey. The impact is greater. I almost got a nosebleed!” said Bai Lili.

Helpless, Hei Anjing said, “This lass... Let’s go. Has your husband’s fever now gone?”

“Of course! Dear brother’s pill has always been the best. As you suggested I’ve wiped him with warm towels and changed his clothes with dry ones. Brother Yan had just woken up and finished the congee I’d made for him. We’ve been waiting for Dear brother to come over,” said Bai Lili.

Hei Anjing said, “Let me check first if he is really healed. Once his body is ready, we can change locations to begin the treatment on his injured meridians.”

“Then I will leave Brother Yan to my brother. Please make him a cultivator again,” said Bai Lili.

“Don’t worry. Leave everything to me,” said Hei Anjing.

Jin Shiyan looked healthier than yesterday as Bai Lili led her brother to the master bedroom. Since his fever has subsided, his face’s redness has diminished and has been replaced by a pink complexion, indicating that his illness has passed. He is currently reading some scrolls from the businesses he left behind to his wife and son. He could now assist her in organizing certain items from their family’s possessions.

Hei Anjing asked, “Lili, don’t tell me this fool had been working hard like this ever since his fever disappeared?”

“Of course not, Dear Brother. I made sure to hide all the paper works from Brother Yan and gave him the simplest one to read!” said Bai Lili.

Jin Shiyan said, “Dage, you are here. Are we going to start now?”

Mo Bing Jingling didn’t respond right away and instead observed Jin Shiyan’s current state closely. Seeing his body had returned to a stabilized state, he knew that he could begin the treatment.

Hei Anjing threw a small jar of vitality pills at him and said, “You are ready. Eat one vitality pill and I will move us to another place. Get ready.”

“I’m ready, dage!” said Jin Shiyan.

Hei Anjing looked at his sister and said, “Lili, I’m going to borrow your backyard. He would definitely release some hidden toxins as I treat him. Don’t enter the courtyard, he will definitely become smelly.”

“Then I will prepare some change of clothes for him,” said Bai Lili.

Bai Lili watched as her brother and husband vanished right before her eyes. She was aware that his Dear Brother could teleport because of his space ability. Bai Lili began cleaning the entire house after learning of their designation as she waited for her brother to complete treating her spouse.

She was singing as she swept the garden’s dry, fallen leaves.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the Jin Family Mansion.

Jin Shiyan was instructed by his brother-in-law to put on his thin inner robe. He could only watch as Hei Anjing flung a variety of pricey herbs onto the chilly spring that their family bathed in.

Naturally, each herb was refined by a cold fire in front of Jin Shiyan, who couldn’t help but be in awe of Hei Anjing’s accomplishments in medicine and alchemy.

After throwing a small piece of firestone in the spring, Hei Anjing said, “Okay, it’s ready. Get in, Jin Shiyan. There is no need to remove your clothes, that’s why I had you wear thin ones instead.”

“Isn’t it better for me to be naked in the medicinal water?” asked Jin Shiyan in confusion.

Playing with his hair, Hei Anjing said, “Yes but if you show your naked self before me my husband would definitely kill you. Your choice.”

“N-No... I said nothing at all!” said Jin Shiyan and he jumped in the spring and felt the warm temperature of the water.

Hei Anjing instructed, “Seat in cross legs and start to meditate. Try to absorb the medicine in your body slowly without stopping even if you feel countless needles piercing your whole body don’t stop. Once you stop you will become a mortal forever.”

While obeying his orders, Jin Shiyan noticed an icy sensation piercing his damaged meridians. He felt as though he were being repeatedly poked by ice needles. His entire body began to itch and hurt, but he was unable to do anything but put up with it.

“P-Please... tell me that... ahead of time...” complained Jin Shiyan.

Hei Anjing sneered and retorted, “Even if I warn you the pain would still be there. There isn’t any difference~. Stay in there for three hours. A short break after to eat lunch and then continue.”

“Yes! Argh!” screamed Jin Shiyan in pain.

He would occasionally grunt and pants out of his mouth. Despite being drenched in water, he was still dripping with perspiration.

Hei Anjing had taken a rocking chair, some potato chips, and novels out of his space inventory while Jin Shiyan was suffering from his medication within the medicinal spring. In contrast to Jin Shiyan, who would occasionally scream in agony, he seems so carefree and at ease.

3 hours later...

Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang had knocked on the door bringing some buns and crepes which Hei Anjing requested his husband to cook. The two subordinates sent it over just as it had arrived on schedule and was still scorching hot. The meal prepared by the Lord God for his wife was passed to Bai Lili, and the two soon vanished before her eyes.

Bai Lili prepared the lunch her brother-in-law provided for his Dear Brother and the lunch she cooked. She serves steaming meat and vegetable-filled buns, spring rolls, bean curd, and spicy noodles. Only then she heads to the backyard and call for her brother and husband. Bai Lili noticed two contrasting scenes as soon as she opened the door leading to the backyard.

She observed her older brother contently enjoying his snacks and reading a book while relaxing on a rocking chair under a huge tree canopy. He exudes such comfort and serenity. Meanwhile, Bai Lili could see her husband collapse near the edge of the spring on the opposite side of the yard, twitching like a drowned fish. Herbs that changed color were present in the spring’s water. Jin Shiyan appears to have undergone unending torment because he is only slumped at the edge of the spring and immobile.

Jin Shiyan couldn’t help but extend his hand like a man drowning when he saw his wife.

“W-Wife... Save me~” he says.

Hei Anjing noticed that Jin Shiyan wanted to leave his medicinal spring and scolded him,

“Hey! The herbs I’ve used on you are all top-grade and rare. Don’t waste it. I’ve picked those up in your brother-in-law’s herb garden!”

“I will bear with it!” said Jin Shiyan.

Only then did Hei Anjing become aware of the presence of his younger sister and remember the chat he had this morning with his husband.

Hei Anjing asked, “Lili, is it time for lunch? Did A’Xia send something for me?”

“Yes, Dear brother. Everything is in the dining room,” responded Bai Lili with a smile.

“Take a break for an hour. Don’t forget to shower and change your clothes. Let’s go eat lunch first and continue the treatment after lunch!”

From his rocking chair, Hei Anjing quickly got up and ran inside the house. He didn’t hesitate to shout that Jin Shiyan may take a break from his medication. In this scene, a young married couple is left perplexed and powerless. They could only do as he told them to do so.
