Xu Fan gently placed Xu Yixue’s injured foot on his lap and then slowly grasped her injured ankle with his hand.

Xu Yixue tightly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly like a small fan.

Xu Fan’s hand seemed to carry a hint of magical power, different from when Ye Xiaoning had checked Xu Yixue’s injury just before. Ye Xiaoning’s touch on Xu Yixue’s feet had brought waves of pain, but now Xu Fan’s hand over her ankle not only didn’t hurt at all, but also brought a warm flow that soothingly traveled around the ankle.

“Mmm…” Xu Yixue hummed softly, her voice dangerously seductive, as if in pain yet seeming to indicate pleasure, even Ye Xiaoning beside her couldn’t tell which it was.

Xu Yixue heard her own hum and felt her face flush. The heat flow from Xu Fan’s hand was too comfortable, making her involuntarily let out a sound.

She sneaked a peek with her eyes barely open and saw Xu Fan’s focused look on her foot without any odd movements, which reassured her enough to close her eyes again.

Continue enjoying, ahem, continue treating the injury.

Ye Xiaoning stared unwaveringly at Xu Fan’s hands. Not being a Martial Artist, she couldn’t discern the intricacies of his technique, but judging from Xu Yixue’s reaction, Xu Fan seemed to indeed possess some skill. Xu Yixue’s face showed no signs of furrowing her brow, meaning that for all the time Xu Fan held Xu Yixue’s ankle, she didn’t feel any pain at all.

When Ye Xiaoning had tried to remove her shoe earlier, she had almost made Xu Yixue cry from pain. It seemed that there was indeed something special about Xu Fan’s technique, and he might truly be able to heal Sister Yixue’s condition, Ye Xiaoning thought secretly to herself.

At that moment, Xu Fan was concentrating on channeling the True Qi within his Qi Sea into the palm of his hand, using it to repair the damaged meridians and flesh of Xu Yixue’s injured ankle.

With Xu Fan’s True Qi nourishing her, Xu Yixue’s pain receptors were enveloped, naturally she wouldn’t feel pain. Instead, the True Qi repairing the damaged body tissues would produce a very comfortable sensation. That was what Xu Yixue had felt, prompting her to hum involuntarily.

Xu Fan was fully focused on treating Xu Yixue’s injured ankle, oblivious that she had already sneakily parted her eyes slightly, secretly sizing him up.

They say a man is at his most handsome when he is fully engaged in his work, and right now, as Xu Yixue watched the engrossed Xu Fan, she couldn’t help but feel that he was very familiar, very handsome.

As she continued to watch, Xu Yixue’s face grew even redder.

Five minutes later, Xu Fan slowly withdrew his hand from Xu Yixue’s ankle and let out a gradual breath.

“It’s healed,” Xu Fan said indifferently to Xu Yixue and then slowly rose from the sofa.

“Really?” Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Xu Yixue slowly came back to her senses, having been too absorbed in watching Xu Fan, she hadn’t realized how much time had passed.

“Well, true or not, you should know best,” Xu Fan said with a twist of his mouth.

“Uh,” Xu Yixue was a bit dazed and then she rotated her injured ankle a bit. Indeed, there was no longer a painful feeling, and even the previously swollen area had subsided, returning to a delicate and pale pair of small feet.

“It’s really gone, that’s amazing!” Xu Yixue rotated it a few times, feeling as if the ankle had returned to its original state, then reached out to pinch the area that would have been terribly painful to touch before.

It didn’t hurt at all.

“Yixue, is it really cured?” Ye Xiaoning also sat down next to Xu Yixue with great curiosity, closely examining her foot. Since Xu Fan’s hand was covering it just now, she couldn’t see the changes under it, but now, looking at it, the swelling had all disappeared, and the entire healing process took less than five minutes. This medical skill was something that even the best doctors in Yan Country couldn’t match.

Ye Xiaoning even deliberately touched Xu Yixue’s ankle, there wasn’t a single problem, it was indeed healed.

The two women now looked at Xu Fan with a bit of admiration in their eyes.

“What exactly did you do to cure it?” Xu Yixue asked Xu Fan softly, looking up at him.

“It’s nothing, just a little trick of the trade to make a living,” Xu Fan said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

“If that’s just a little trick of the trade, then all the doctors in the country might as well hang themselves. I’m afraid even Hua Tuo, if he was still alive, wouldn’t be as efficient as you are at healing,” Ye Xiaoning said somewhat dazedly.

“Hehe, there are many mysterious things in this world. You have received higher education, but there are still many things you haven’t seen or heard,” Xu Fan said indifferently.

He was telling the truth. If Xu Yixue hadn’t seen with her own eyes how he cured Lu Chennong’s infertility, and hadn’t experienced for herself how he healed her ankle, she wouldn’t believe that there could be such miraculous healing arts in this world no matter what he said.

Or rather, this might not even be considered a healing art, it’s more like a lower-dimensional strike of the cultivation civilization on the mundane civilization. To ordinary people, of course, it’s an incredibly shocking fact and indeed could overturn their worldview.

However, Xu Fan came from the Cultivation World, a strong man with secrets more numerous than the stars in the sky. Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, who often interacted with him, would quickly get used to it.

“Daddy, thank you. Tongtong loves you to death,” Tongtong said as she saw Xu Yixue’s foot healed by Xu Fan, then toddled over to Xu Fan’s side and climbed onto him like a koala.

Xu Fan bent down to scoop up his silly daughter into his arms.

“Come on, give Daddy a reward,” Xu Fan said as he brought his face close to Tongtong’s.

“Daddy is amazing, Daddy is a superhero!” Tongtong kissed Xu Fan with big smacks twice.

“Sigh, I really feel like he’s got a bit of superhero potential now,” Ye Xiaoning sighed.

Xu Yixue put her shoes on and started walking on the ground. At the beginning, her heart still had a shadow; she didn’t dare to exert force on her feet, which made her walk a bit wobbly.

Upon seeing her walk in such a funny way, Xu Fan let out a snort of laughter.

“Hmph! Xu Fan, don’t think you’re so great just because you healed my foot!” Xu Yixue heard Xu Fan’s laughter and glared at him resentfully. The good feelings that had arisen in her heart just moments earlier dissipated like a wisp of smoke.
