Chapter 1096: Chapter 1097: Heqin (Marriage Alliance)
Song Xiaodong did indeed want to deceive for the Fire Spirit Grass, but to regulate Alicia’s body is surely not an easy task. Apart from needing acupuncture, so dicine is also required as assistance.
Acupuncture! Acupuncture actually consists of two dical techniques, divided into acupuncture technique and moxibustion technique. The acupuncture technique is like how Song Xiaodong usually uses silver needles to pierce into acupoints, then through twisting or other ans, he transfers True Qi into the acupoints to achieve a therapeutic effect.
As for the moxibustion technique, it’s using incense or sothing like mugwort to apply combustion or fumigation thods for treatnt.
Song Xiaodong was only using acupuncture technique previously, but he is equally skillful in moxibustion technique. However, his moxibustion technique uses silver needles as a dium and utilizes True Qi for combustion, then assists with dicine.
For a case like Alicia’s, Song Xiaodong had to combine acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, which certainly required particular dicine. But these dicines don’t need to be so mystical; though expensive, they can be bought on the market.
Song Xiaodong had indeed been formulating such dicines these past two days. After all, it counts as a heaven-defying alteration, if it could be made so easily, the magical aspect of acupuncture wouldn’t stand out.
Two days later, Song Xiaodong returned to the Su Family with the dicines and began treating Alicia.
This ti, Song Xiaodong spent over two hours and ended up so exhausted after finishing the needles that he directly collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.
Betty and Sun Yiyi were attending nearby, and Sun Yiyi hurriedly carried Song Xiaodong out.
Betty remained with the grandmother, and Turner ca in as well.
In no ti, Alicia opened her eyes, and Betty imdiately exclaid with joy, “Grandmother, how are you feeling?”
Turner also looked at Alicia excitedly, saying, “Darling, do you feel any better?”
Alicia slowly closed her eyes, and after about ten seconds, she opened them again, sighed lightly, and said, “Turner, you didn’t heed my words after all.”
Turner said anxiously, “Darling, don’t worry about that, how are you now?”
Alicia was quite a remarkable figure, knowing Turner got the Hell Herb, which entirely went against her wishes, but since things had progressed this far, she just smiled faintly and said, “I feel quite well now, I think I could eat an entire steak.”
“Really?” Turner exclaid joyfully.
“Yes, why would I deceive you,” Alicia said and attempted to sit up.
Betty hurriedly went to help, but before her hand exerted any force, Alicia had already sat up, saying, “Doctor Song is truly a miraculous doctor; in such a condition, I could recover this well.”
Turner said, “Indeed, this is surely a miraculous doctor; we must regard him as the best friend of our Walter Family, so all mbers of our Walter Family have sufficient health assurance.”
Alicia nodded, saying, “I hope to have such a friend, paying off the loss for obtaining the Hell Herb.”
“I believe we made a correct decision; it surely is worth more than it costs.”
In the following three days, Song Xiaodong continued to provide acupuncture to Alicia daily, each ti exhausting himself.
Betty and the others witnessed this firsthand and were deeply grateful to Song Xiaodong beyond words.
On the fourth day, Song Xiaodong didn’t apply needles to Alicia, as her condition had stabilized, and no longer required such frequent acupuncture. From then on, a weekly session should maintain her for two to three months, allowing Alicia’s body to fully recover, and another ten or eight years would pose no issue.
That day, Song Xiaodong applied needles to Turner; seeing his wife improving daily, Turner, the old fellow, was anxious indeed, and now it was finally his turn.
However, applying needles to Turner was not as tiring for Song Xiaodong, as Turner did not have any health issues, making it far simpler.
For a consecutive week, Song Xiaodong administered acupuncture to the Turner couple, and after this week, the old couple exhibited an unspeakably good ntal state.
At this point, even knowing the potential unknown risks the removal of Hell Herb might bring to the Turner Family, it was no longer a concern.
Today Sun Yiyi wasn’t around, only Betty accompanied Song Xiaodong, and after administering needles to Turner, Turner sat up, moved his body, and cheerfully exclaid, “It feels unspeakably comfortable now.”
Song Xiaodong laughed and stretched as well, even if less tiring, it was still exhausting.
Turner donned his clothes, smiled, and said, “Dear Song, I have discovered sothing these past two days.”
“What is it?” Song Xiaodong asked.
Turner said, “I’ve noticed you have many wives.”
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, saying, “Indeed, but we are genuinely in love, just like you are.”
“Hmm, I truly believe that; a man like you surely captivates won,” Turner nodded with a smile and said, “What do you think of Betty?”
“Betty?” Song Xiaodong hesitated for a mont and then turned serious, saying, “Mr. Turner, you are not harboring such a ridiculous notion, are you?”
Turner seriously said, “Dear Song, I’m discussing a very serious matter with you, this matter was jointly deliberated by Alicia and myself.”
Song Xiaodong turned to glance at Betty, whose face was blushing, yet her beautiful sapphire eyes were gazing intently at Song Xiaodong, evidently showing Turner had discussed this matter with her as well.
Song Xiaodong coughed gently and said, “Mr. Turner, such an idea is surely a trendous honor for , but I already have many wives, and I cannot proceed thus.”
Turner said, “Karen ntioned that your sexual ability is quite strong, being able to sleep with three wives at night, adding another Betty wouldn’t pose a problem. We wish for Betty to be with you to ensure our Walter Family’s relationship with you becos more intimate, not just friends, but kin.”
Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, saying, “Mr. Turner, do you British aristocrats also prioritize such political marriage?”
Turner smiled slightly, saying, “We value true love, but if true love and interests can be united, we are most willing to pursue them. We’ve asked Betty, and she is already deeply attracted to you, she wishes to beco your wife.”
At this point, Betty nodded vigorously, saying, “Yes, dear Song, I’ve fallen deeply in love with you, caring not about how many wives you have, I believe I can be a good wife to you.”
