He immediately used the Qi Gazing technique to examine Leng Qingmei's body.
He was almost overjoyed by what he saw.
The woman's face was pale.
Her meridians were chaotic.
It looked like a twisted fishing net.
Chen Nan smiled and asked, "Why are your meridians so chaotic?"
Leng Qingmei endured the pain and replied, "Senior, it's because I took the Body Tempering Pill you refined."
Chen Nan shouted angrily, "What do you mean? Are you implying that I harmed you?"
"Senior, please calm down, please calm down!" Leng Qingmei quickly said, "That's not what I meant."
"It's just that I underestimated the pain the Body Tempering Pill would bring to my body."
"Because of this, I almost suffered qi deviation, which led to the chaotic state of my meridians."
"Please, senior, save my life!"
The night before last.
After spending one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver on the Body Tempering Pill.
She returned to the Leng family with great anticipation and took the pill.
However, she had underestimated the torment the Body Tempering Pill would inflict upon her body.
Not only did she fail to break through to the Soul Gathering realm, but she also almost suffered qi deviation.
Although she managed to stabilize her mind.
The uncontrolled yin energy within her body continued to rage.
Following that, she endured the pain and came to Qingyun Tower, seeking a remedy for her condition.
But Wang Yunchuan said that he was also unable to resolve such a situation.
Perhaps she could seek help from the mysterious person who refined the Body Tempering Pill.
It was for this reason.
That she waited here for the mysterious person.
If she didn't receive treatment.
Let alone becoming a cultivator in the Soul Gathering realm.
She might even be tortured to death.
Beneath the mask, Chen Nan revealed a cold sneer. "We are strangers, why should I save you?"
Leng Qingmei quickly said, "I can give you money! One million taels, no, no, two million, how about two million taels?"
"Hahaha!" Chen Nan was amused. "Do you think this old man lacks money?"
That simple sentence.
Like an invisible hand.
Instantly gripped Leng Qingmei's throat.
Indeed!
He was an alchemist.
A pill he refined casually was worth a lot of money.
How could he possibly look down upon the Leng family's wealth?
After hesitating for a moment, a blush appeared on Leng Qingmei's face. She said nervously, "I... I can be your maid, your personal attendant."
Although this was not explicitly stated.
It explained everything.
As long as Chen Nan could save her, she was willing to be his personal attendant.
What does a personal attendant imply?
Those who understand will understand.
Those who don't, well, it's useless to explain.
Chen Nan chuckled, his tone tinged with disdain. "If you were an unmarried maiden, I wouldn't mind having you as my personal attendant."
"With your looks, becoming my personal attendant would be somewhat acceptable to follow me."
"But you are already married."
"Do you think this old man would fancy a used item like you?"
He didn't reject second marriages.
Not only that.
He even liked those who had been "conquered."
But he was annoyed by Leng Qingmei.
This was the woman the host had loved.
The woman he had married and bowed to?
Especially the condition she proposed.
It made Chen Nan feel disgusted.
Leng Qingmei said nervously, "I was indeed married, but I have already divorced that useless ex-husband of mine. I am single now."
"Also, I am still a virgin."
"Even though I was married, I was not defiled."
Chen Nan gritted his teeth. "He, is he really a good-for-nothing?"
Leng Qingmei nodded repeatedly. "Yes, my ex-husband is an uneducated good-for-nothing. If he had any capability, I wouldn't have divorced him."
A strong wave of anger rose within Chen Nan.
They had already ended their marriage.
She was still slandering him in secret.
This was simply going too far!
At this moment.
He wished he could take off his cloak and mask.
And tell Leng Qingmei that he was the good-for-nothing she spoke of.
But he dismissed the idea.
This... didn't seem fun.
Not fun at all.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and said, "I can save you, but you must fulfill your previous promise and be my personal maid."
"And you must fulfill the duties of a personal maid tonight."
A flicker of panic crossed Leng Qingmei's eyes.
She had expected him to look down on her.
But she never imagined that he would actually ask her to fulfill the duties of a maid.
This caught her off guard.
She lowered her head and, enduring her inner unease, said, "I also wish to serve Senior wholeheartedly, but my limbs are in pain and stiff. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you wholeheartedly."
"It's alright, I don't mind."
For a man.
Nothing was a problem.
After all, a fixed position would be maintained.
Leng Qingmei fell into a dilemma.
She feared that after fulfilling her promise, he would not save her.
If that were the case.
It would truly be a case of stealing a chicken only to lose the rice.
Chen Nan saw her worry and said coldly, "Don't make promises lightly if you can't keep them. This old man despises women like you the most!"
He then flicked his sleeve and walked into the night.
"Senior, wait."
Leng Qingmei, her face contorted in pain, stood up and followed Chen Nan, a hint of helplessness and despair flashing in her eyes. "I can do it, I can do it."
Chen Nan's heart rejoiced.
He looked up at the night sky.
And sighed in his heart: Second brother, your dream is about to come true.
You are about to win over Leng Qingmei.
Seeing an inn ahead.
Chen Nan suggested going there.
Leng Qingmei naturally dared not refuse. Enduring her inner grievances and despair, she nodded with difficulty.
Chen Nan saw all this, but felt no pity in his heart.
Instead, he felt a sense of vengeful pleasure.
If...
Leng Qingmei had treated him sincerely and not divorced him.
Then today's events would never have happened.
He would have given all the pills he refined to Leng Qingmei, allowing her to grow into a powerful figure.
Instead of like today.
Kneeling before him like a dog, begging him to save her.
What was this?
Retribution.
Every cause has an effect.
Your retribution is me!
A moment later.
The two arrived at a large inn.
Leng Qingmei booked a premium suite and then led Chen Nan into it.
Upon entering the suite.
Leng Qingmei's heart began to race.
An inexplicable sense of panic filled her heart.
"Take off your clothes and lie on the bed." Chen Nan's voice was hoarse. He took out a needle pouch, intending to first give Leng Qingmei some acupuncture to alleviate her pain.
Only in this way could he ensure that it would not affect his mood and state later.
Leng Qingmei's face was filled with humiliation, but she still obeyed Chen Nan's words and lay on the bed.
Seeing this scene.
Chen Nan was displeased. He snorted heavily. "What? Do you feel wronged?"
"Miss Leng, there's something you need to understand. You are begging me to treat you."
"Since you are begging someone, you must have the attitude of someone begging."
"And I am very dissatisfied with your current attitude!"
Leng Qingmei shed tears of humiliation, but her face was beaming with a brilliant smile. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that you will definitely be satisfied with my service."
