With Liu Xiaoxiao's permission, Han Lang immediately announced that they could begin.
Liu Xiaoxiao immediately sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and circulated the spiritual energy within her body.
She needed to create a tiny gap in the seal within her body, allowing Han Lang to examine the specific condition of the mutant agent during his diagnosis.
Han Lang, without any hesitation, first performed a routine pulse diagnosis on Liu Xiaoxiao. His aim was to confirm if her body, apart from the agent, had any other issues, especially those that might affect the treatment.
As Han Lang carefully felt her pulse, he discovered that Liu Xiaoxiao's meridians were not only free of problems but were also wider than those of an ordinary person.
This meant that if she hadn't been preoccupied with sealing the agent, her strength might have already broken through the Nascent Soul stage.
"Squad Leader Liu's talent is truly monstrous! She truly is the cream of the crop from that batch of special forces recruits!"
Han Lang exclaimed in admiration, then proceeded with the next stage of the diagnosis with confidence.
Since the agent was sealed in Liu Xiaoxiao's dantian, to investigate its detailed condition, he had to control his spiritual energy and send it into the seal in a fine, thread-like state.
Simultaneously, he needed to attach a trace of his divine consciousness to this spiritual energy.
Only then could he observe Liu Xiaoxiao's physical condition from all angles, much like how he would examine his own body internally.
"Mmmph!"
As the spiritual energy entered, Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to feel a slight discomfort.
She let out a soft hum, and her brows furrowed slightly.
However, to avoid hindering Han Lang's treatment, she did not display her discomfort excessively, choosing instead to endure it.
At such close proximity, Han Lang could naturally sense Liu Xiaoxiao's subtle changes. But at this moment, his divine consciousness had already entered Liu Xiaoxiao's body, and the mutant agent was almost within sight.
"Holy cow! So much!"
Han Lang was somewhat shocked.
He had initially assumed that a single dose of agent wouldn't be a very large amount.
However, after his divine consciousness completely enveloped the agent, he discovered that its quantity far exceeded his imagination.
Furthermore, due to the agent's sealed location, which was precisely on one of the main meridians through which spiritual energy returned to the dantian, it had prevented Liu Xiaoxiao from completing a full cultivation cycle.
If this continued, it would indeed easily cause her cultivation to regress instead of advance.
Even so, the location of the agent's seal was impeccable.
Within the human body, apart from this spot, there was no better place that would both minimally affect Liu Xiaoxiao's strength and effectively achieve the seal.
If this agent had been sealed on any other major pathway that was not part of the spiritual energy circulation cycle, it would not only directly impact Liu Xiaoxiao's current cultivation but also potentially render her unable to cultivate altogether.
In such a scenario, Liu Xiaoxiao would have had no chance of encountering Han Lang, the Divine Farmer Heavenly Doctor, in the special forces.
"Alright, Squad Leader Liu. You can open your eyes now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately ceased her practice and hurriedly asked,
"How is it? Is there a way to fix it?"
Han Lang frowned, his expression exceptionally serious.
"There is a way, of course. However, the risks involved are quite high. And, if it requires acupuncture, the placement of the needles..."
Han Lang seemed hesitant to speak.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao appeared to have anticipated this.
"It needs to be done at the dantian, right?"
Han Lang was somewhat surprised but nodded affirmatively.
The human dantian is located in the lower abdomen.
Moreover, given Liu Xiaoxiao's specific condition, it would be best to expose the area for greater certainty during the acupuncture.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao and Han Lang were of different genders.
The location of the dantian was quite close to Liu Xiaoxiao's private parts.
This was why Han Lang was so hesitant to speak!
Liu Xiaoxiao also realized this problem.
Her pretty face flushed.
For so many years, she had never even exposed her shoulders. Now, she had to expose her lower abdomen in front of a man.
This made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
After a long period of thought, she finally gritted her teeth.
"A doctor has no gender. If this is the only way, I... I think I'll have to trouble you..."
Hearing this, Han Lang let out a slight sigh of relief.
"To be honest, Squad Leader Liu, as a doctor, I have no impure thoughts during the treatment process. If you truly trust me, I still recommend dealing with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the more severe the problem might become!"
"I understand! If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have said that just now. Should we start immediately, or..."
"It's fortunate that there's no one around right now. I think it's best to start now!"
With his confirmation, Liu Xiaoxiao had almost no further hesitation.
She immediately got up, returned to the door, locked it, and then came back to Han Lang.
"Do I need to lie down?"
Han Lang completely understood Liu Xiaoxiao's series of actions.
Locking the door was not only to prevent others from witnessing this intimate scene but also to ensure they wouldn't be disturbed during the treatment.
Even if Liu Xiaoxiao hadn't done it, Han Lang would have.
"Lie down! Lift your clothes up a little, and your pants... pull them down a bit!"
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't reply further but directly lay down on Han Lang's bed.
With a blushing face, she hesitantly followed Han Lang's instructions, slightly lifting her clothing.
Gradually, her fair skin and flat abdomen were revealed to Han Lang.
It would be impossible to say that Han Lang's heart remained unmoved at this moment.
However, he constantly reminded himself.
He was a doctor.
Although Liu Xiaoxiao's figure was indeed impeccable, he could not have improper thoughts.
After composing himself, Han Lang directly reminded Liu Xiaoxiao.
"Squad Leader Liu, I'll begin now."
"Mmm!"
Liu Xiaoxiao's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, signifying her agreement for Han Lang to proceed.
Han Lang did not hesitate. He immediately channeled his spiritual energy into the silver needle and, with a "swish," inserted it into Liu Xiaoxiao's lower abdomen.
Liu Xiaoxiao felt a cool sensation in her lower abdomen. She didn't know if Han Lang's hand had touched her, nor did she deliberately lift her head to look.
She simply turned her head away, feeling this peculiar sensation!
Han Lang seemed to see through Liu Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
At this moment, he had completely cast aside any distracting thoughts and was focused solely on the treatment.
Therefore, he calmly said to Liu Xiaoxiao,
"Rest assured, Squad Leader Liu! My acupuncture skills have already reached the realm of five needles. Therefore, there will be no physical contact during the needling process. If you feel a slight coolness during this time, it is purely the sensation carried by the spiritual energy upon entering your body."
Han Lang's explanation, instead of reassuring her, made Liu Xiaoxiao's face turn even redder.
Yet, she still had to appear unfazed and said softly to Han Lang,
"It's alright! You are a doctor, and even necessary contact is unavoidable. Please proceed boldly. I won't hold you responsible!"
Han Lang was speechless.
He had intended to explain further, but he feared that any further explanation would only make matters worse. In the end, he decided to stop discussing the issue of gender and instead, while performing acupuncture, began to explain his treatment plan!
