Chapter 122: Luo Yuhe's Surrender! The "Parental Heart" of a Doctor!
[Location: Ankang Hospital - Vacated VIP Ward]
The heavy click of the lock echoed in the silent, sterile room like a gunshot, sealing them away from the world outside.
Shen Anyu stood with his back to the door, watching Luo Yuhe. The curtains were drawn, filtering the city lights into a soft, ambient gloom that painted shadows across the white walls.
Luo Yuhe stood by the hospital bed, her back pressed against the cold metal railing. She was trapped, not by force, but by a overwhelming tide of gratitude, desperation, and a strange, budding desire she barely understood.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her teeth sinking into the soft flesh until it turned white. Her pretty face, usually a stunning mix of heroism and feminine charm, was now flushed with a moving, feverish blush.
Her heart hammered against her ribs, loud enough to act as a drumbeat for the tension in the room.
"Shen… Her child's father... this… this isn't appropriate..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "We are alone. The door is locked. I…"
Shen Anyu didn't let her finish. He stepped forward, invading her personal space with the confidence of a king claiming his territory. He looked at her with righteous indignation, as if her hesitation was an insult to his medical ethics.
"Acupuncture is a must!"
His voice was firm, commanding, yet laced with a magnetic undertone that made her knees weak.
"Otherwise... do you understand your condition? You are riddled with poison. It has seeped into your marrow, turning your own cultivation against you. You won't live much longer. A year? Maybe less."
He took another step. She had nowhere to retreat.
"Do you want to see Luoxiao without a mother? Do you want to leave her alone in this world, vulnerable to men like Jin Shiming?"
"I cannot agree to your selfish decision to protect your modesty at the cost of your life!"
Speaking of this, Shen Anyu paused. He softened his expression, his eyes melting into pools of sincerity that could drown a woman's soul.
"I know you're a bit shy. It is only natural for a woman of your virtue."
"But a doctor's heart is like a parent's. In my eyes, you are a patient in need of saving. As a parent... how could one harbor such wicked thoughts towards a patient? It goes against everything I stand for."
"Don't worry!"
He reached out, his fingers grazing her cheek. His skin was hot.
"Don't you trust my character? Don't you trust the man who saved your daughter?"
Hearing this, seeing the hurt in his eyes, Luo Yuhe immediately grew anxious. Guilt washed over her shyness.
"Of course! Of course I trust your character!" she exclaimed hurriedly, grabbing his hand. "You are the most noble man I have ever met. Alright... then I agree!"
In Luo Yuhe's view, Shen Anyu was the heir of the [Yanxia Shen Family]. He held such a high and lofty status, sitting on clouds she couldn't even reach. How could he harbor any wicked thoughts towards a fallen woman like her?
Even if he desired beautiful women, he had them in abundance. The finest flowers of the capital would line up for him.
Could Luo Yuhe... who was living in a bridge hole and a doghouse just hours ago... really be favored by a top noble like Shen Anyu?
Luo Yuhe felt she wasn't that narcissistic to have such a ridiculous thought. It was her own dirty mind that was the problem.
However, after agreeing, Luo Yuhe was too shy to lift her head. She buried her face in her chest, her ears burning red.
Shen Anyu looked at this scene with deep appreciation. He secretly praised her in his heart.
As the only Destined Heroine of the "War God" stream, and a [Martial Arts Grandmaster] with extraordinary talent... Luo Yuhe naturally possessed the essence of heaven and earth. Her appearance and figure were beyond words—a diamond hidden in the dust.
Even after suffering from wind and rain for five or six years, her skin remained untarnished. It was still fair, delicate, and resilient, glowing with a healthy vitality beneath the grime he had cleaned off.
How could such a beautiful woman be killed by poison?
As a Child of Destiny (Self-Proclaimed), Shen Anyu naturally bore the responsibility to "heal" her completely.
Thus, Shen Anyu stood before Luo Yuhe. He placed his hands firmly on her shoulders, feeling the tension in her muscles.
His warm voice rang out, hypnotic and reassuring:
"Her child's mother... don't worry. It won't hurt much. I'll be gentle when I apply the needles."
Listening to Shen Anyu's words, Luo Yuhe felt a bit strange. The phrasing was ambiguous, sending shivers down her spine. But she didn't think much of it, simply giving a soft "Mhm" of surrender.
In Luo Yuhe's view, Shen Anyu's character was excellent. He was righteous and brave.
Besides... this was treatment now. A doctor's heart is like a parent's. So it didn't matter. It definitely didn't matter if she had to undress.
As soon as she thought of this, the burden and hesitation in Luo Yuhe's heart gradually began to disappear, replaced by a heavy, languid anticipation.
Girls are actually very simple creatures when they fall. Sometimes, all they need is a reason—any logical excuse—and they will deceive themselves to follow their hearts.
Even if that reason is absurd, as long as she has a good impression of you, she can easily accept it.
Luo Yuhe's favorability was already at eighty. Gratitude had paved the way; attraction was now driving the car.
Subsequently, Luo Yuhe no longer hesitated. She raised her head, her beautiful, watery eyes looking at Shen Anyu with absolute trust and submission.
She softly said:
"Come on... apply the needles. I am ready."
Saying that, Luo Yuhe moved her feet slightly.
She sat on the edge of the bed. Her hands trembled as she reached for the buttons of the loose hospital gown.
One by one, the buttons came undone, revealing the creamy, porcelain skin beneath. She wasn't wearing anything underneath—the hospital staff had disposed of her old rags.
She slipped the gown off her shoulders, letting it pool at her waist.
The sight was breathtaking. Her collarbones were exquisite, her shoulders rounded and smooth. Her skin glowed in the dim light, flawless despite years of hardship.
She wasn't wearing stockings, but her bare legs were a masterpiece of nature. Long, shapely, and fair, they gleamed with an alluring luster. She curled her toes against the cool linoleum floor.
"Mhm. I'm starting... no, I've begun…"
A pleased, predatory curve formed on Shen Anyu's lips.
He didn't take out the silver needles immediately. Instead, he reached out with his hand.
His fingers traced the line of her spine, finding the acupoints with agonizing slowness.
"The poison is deep," he murmured, his voice husky. "I need to use the [Burning Heaven Technique] to guide it out through sweat."
"O-okay..." Luo Yuhe stuttered, gasping as his hot hand touched her cool skin.
The "acupuncture" began.
But it wasn't cold metal needles that pierced her. It was his touch. His internal energy flowed into her body, hot and domineering, rushing through her meridians like a torrent.
It found the cold, stagnant poison and burned it away, replacing the pain with a searing pleasure that made her arch her back and cry out.
"Shen... Doctor... it feels... strange..."
"It's the poison leaving your body. Endure it."
Shen Anyu pressed her down onto the bed. The session turned from medical to primal. He explored every meridian, every sensitive point, unlocking the dormant energy within her body.
The hospital room filled with the sounds of heavy breathing, the creaking of the bedsprings, and the soft, desperate moans of a woman finding salvation in the arms of her savior.
It was a dual cultivation of the highest order. He wasn't just curing her; he was rewriting her body, marking her soul with his energy.
...
Three days and three nights later.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in that room. The sun rose and set, but the curtains remained drawn.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud, thunderous sound erupted from the ward!
A powerful, visible shockwave of [Aura] burst forth from Luo Yuhe's delicate body. It swept in all directions, shattering the glass water pitcher on the table and cracking the plaster of the walls!
The sickbed groaned under the sudden pressure of her released power.
At this moment, Luo Yuhe sat up. Her long, black hair fanned out behind her, floating in the charged air. Her eyes snapped open, revealing pupils that shone with a sharp, martial light.
Her brows were filled with heroism. The sickly pallor was gone, replaced by a radiant, healthy glow. Her skin looked brand new, reborn.
Coupled with her slightly flushed face and the sheen of sweat from the breakthrough, she appeared even more radiant. Like a shy Female War God who had just descended from the heavens.
"Her child's father... my cultivation! My cultivation has recovered!"
Luo Yuhe looked at her hands, feeling the torrent of power—the [Grandmaster Peak] strength—flowing through her veins again.
She was full of surprise and excitement. She felt light, strong, and alive for the first time in six years.
She didn't care about her nudity. She directly threw herself into Shen Anyu's embrace, hugging him tightly, burying her face in his neck.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
After Shen Anyu's [Zaohua Divine Needles], [Shennong Nine Needles], and the intensive "treatment" with [Vitality Pill] and [Yangqi Pill] (fed mouth-to-mouth during the process)...
Luo Yuhe's cultivation had not only recovered but improved. She was back at her peak!
[Ding! Detected that the Destined Heroine Luo Yuhe's favorability +10! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Detected that the Destined Heroine Luo Yuhe's total favorability is 90 (Deep Love)! Plundering +100,000 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny Yan Lingxiao's emotional line is close to collapsing! The bond is severed! Plundering +800,000 Destiny Points!]
"Congratulations!"
Shen Anyu held her warm, soft body, his hands caressing her smooth back. His brows were filled with smiles, and he was equally happy in his heart.
Favorability became increasingly difficult to raise later on. He had originally thought he wouldn't reach ninety this time—that she would still have reservations. But he unexpectedly broke through ninety directly!
He had plundered one hundred thousand Destiny Value from her alone!
Moreover... he indirectly plundered eight hundred thousand Destiny Value from Yan Lingxiao, that show-off Leader of the War God Alliance. The connection between the "War God" and his "Tragic Wife" was now completely broken. She belonged to Shen Anyu.
This was simply fantastic.
However, Shen Anyu didn't feel too surprised.
He had pulled Luo Yuhe out of the abyss when she was at her most desperate. He retaliated against Jin Shiming and the Jinling Jin Family for her. And now he had also helped Luo Yuhe recover her martial arts cultivation and resolve the potent poison.
Especially... just now. Hehe.
For a traditional and virtuous woman like Luo Yuhe, who had given herself to him completely during the "treatment"... how could her favorability not greatly increase? She had bonded with him body and soul.
This title of "Her child's father" could almost be said to have come true in reality.
Shen Anyu pulled back slightly, looking at her glowing face.
"Yuhe..."
He looked at Luo Yuhe with a pleasant, smiling expression, his eyes darkening with renewed desire.
"I sense that you still have some... residual poison. It hasn't been completely cleared from the deepest parts."
"How about we continue? Just to be safe?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuhe looked up at Shen Anyu.
Her eyes were like water, carrying a hint of charm within their heroism. She knew exactly what he meant. She knew there was no poison left.
But she didn't care.
She bit her red lip, her cheeks flushing darker. She softly hummed in affirmation, full of affection and submission.
"Mhm. Whatever you say... Doctor."
She pushed him back onto the bed.
...
[Location: War God Alliance - Temporary Base in Modu]
At the same time, on the other side of the city.
"Damn it! Why do I have such an ominous premonition?!"
Yan Lingxiao, the Lingxiao War God, slammed his fist onto the tactical table. The wood splintered.
His heroic face showed a solemn expression, his brows tightly furrowed.
For some unknown reason, ever since he came to Yanxia... he had been having an ominous premonition these past few days.
He felt a heavy weight on his head. A green, suffocating weight. It felt as if something precious had been stolen from him, something he hadn't even found yet.
Yan Lingxiao, who had fought countless battles on the battlefield, deeply trusted his intuition. It was his "Danger Sense," which had allowed him to avoid countless bullets and dangerous ambushes.
"Could it be that those old rivals on the Western Continent battlefield are being restless? Causing trouble while I'm away?"
"Or is it that An Zhiyue... the Phoenix Female War God... wants to deal with me? Is she planning a raid?"
"…"
Yan Lingxiao had several guesses. He ordered his subordinates to investigate everything. But they were all ruled out one by one.
This made him even more puzzled. His anxiety grew into a roar in his ears.
"What exactly is it because of?!"
Bang!
The door to the command center burst open.
"Boss! We've found information! We found the woman from back then!"
Just then, Dark Asura, one of Yan Lingxiao's [Eight Grandmasters] and the head of the Intelligence Hall, rushed in. He looked excited but also nervous.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Lingxiao immediately stood up, showing excitement and ecstasy. The anxiety vanished, replaced by hope.
This time, he had risked coming to Yanxia precisely because he wanted to find the whereabouts of that woman from six years ago. To compensate her greatly. To make her the happiest woman alive.
"Where is she? Is she safe?"
Dark Asura hesitated. He looked at the file in his hand, then at his boss.
"It's just… Boss, the situation is... complicated."
