Chapter 356 - Making a Mistake
When he found that she insisted that she should not need the ambulance, Tan Cong did not dare to make a decision for her and had to pray with a grievance that the client wouldn’t have a mishap in his hotel. Otherwise, not only would the reputation of his century-old hotel suffer, but he might also get involved in a lawsuit.
At the moment, Shen Muqing was naked, lying on the couch in the box. Ding Ning moved his hands fast and prudently inserted his 13 silver needles into her chest. The needles were shivering and made sword-wielding sounds.
After he reached the Earth Martial Arts realm, he could finally use the 13th needle of the Nine Ghosts and 13-needle Technique, but the more he understood the technique, the more he felt its greatness and profoundness and realized that his previous idea that he could use 11 needles to cure Shen Muqing was so skin-deep and ridiculous.
The Nine Ghosts and 13-needle Technique was so far from the simplicity that he thought it was. The 13 needles only had its form but didn’t have its spirit. Only by combing the Acupuncture of the Nine Ghosts could the technique have its form and spirit, alternate yin and yang, determine life and death, and take the great creations of heaven and earth.
Actually, he had now only mastered the One Ghosts and 13-needle Technique, still extremely far away from the realm of resurrecting the dead and making the skeleton regain flesh that the Nine Ghosts and 13-needle Technique featured.
Shen Muqing, who was practicing the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit and the breathing method, should not have had life threat, but she had always been gloomy and upset during this time, and went to extremes and became desperate after she was mentally hurt by what she witnessed today. Therefore, she had poor Qi and blood and the stagnation of her heart meridians, which led to the sharp deterioration of her disease and the rapid failure of her heart.
Those who had the idea of going to die were the most difficult patients to be treated. Ding Ning’s medical skills were magical, but, without her cooperation, he could only keep her alive and could not help her fully recover.
This meant that even though he now saved her but could not help her get the desire to live, she would still die in the end. Thus, he must wake up Shen Muqing’s gnosis and remove her emotional entanglements, giving her the desire to live, and then he could conduct the next treatment for her.
So, Ding Ning was angry, anxious, and also sorry for her. “This girl really makes me worried. She headed for her doom just after a few good days of living.”
He used the spiritual aura to protect her heart meridians, keeping the last trace of her life alive, and was also dredging her clogged meridians with an excessive amount of his spiritual power, and the little ghost sitting beside him was sucking the impurities and gloom to keep her meridians clear.
With the passage of time, Ding Ning became covered with mist and sweat, looking as pale as a sheet of paper. His spiritual aura and spiritual strength were consumed so fast that he could not bear it and became exhausted.
To be honest, the amount of consumption used to treat Shen Muqing was more than the amount used to save Xiao Nuo from death some time ago. If he had not just made some breakthrough in cultivation, he was afraid he would have been unable to hold on.
After all, Shen Muqing’s heart was a congenital malformation, meaning that the work efficiencies of her cardiovascular, blood pressure and heart valves were not as good as those of ordinary people, so treating her was quite difficult.
Thus, Ding Ning felt depressed and grateful at the same time. If he had not coincidentally brought the Little Ghost under his control, he might not have saved her this time.
Without the Little Ghost as the cleaner, he could not have been able to help her eliminate the impurities and gloom that blocked her meridians. Even though the meridians had been dredged, they would be clogged sooner or later again. If the impurities and gloom had become so much and blocked her meridians, he would only have had to see Shen Muqing die.
Simply by analogy, these impurities and depression were like cancer cells, which would constantly erode normal cellular tissues. Before the cancer cells spread, treating her was still possible; once the cancer cells started to spread, treating her was basically impossible.
The role of the Little Ghost was that he could continuously eat these pathological substances, preventing them from eroding the normal cellular tissues.
It was hard to tell how much time had passed. Just when Ding Ning was persisting with much difficulty and his spiritual power had nearly been used up, Shen Muqing’s face finally became a little ruddy. After her long eyelashes flapped twice, she opened her eyes slowly.
The first thing appearing in her confused eyes was the face she had been dreaming about day and night, but the face, which always had a warm smile, was pale without a trace of human color at the moment.
Shen Muqing looked at him stupidly, secretly thinking, “Am I dreaming? How could he be here? It seems that I am really dreaming. Alas! As long as I have you in my dream, and I wish I would never wake up from the dream.”
So, she closed her eyes again, but suddenly Ding Ning’s tired and hoarse voice came to her ears. “I won’t allow you to die. Live a good life!” Just as she felt her chest sink, a head fell on it.
“Ding Ning, how do you feel?”
“Why is it so real? Is this not a dream?” Subconsciously, Shen Muqing touched the head on her chest and suddenly opened her eyes with a shudder because of the familiar smell and temperature. Seeing the man she had been missing tightly close his eyes and pass out, she instantly shouted in panic.
Unfortunately, Ding Ning had returned to the state after he rescued Xiao Nuo at this moment. His spirit was depleted and his spiritual aura was exhausted, and he went to a deep sleep automatically and could not respond to her words.
Shen Muqing gently touched his sleepy face, and her tears gradually blurred her eyes. She knew that the man saved her again.
She could not care about her nakedness anymore, carefully raised Ding Ning’s head, hurriedly put on her clothes, and shouted, “Somebody, anybody!”
When Ding Ning woke up, it was already the next night. The snow-white plain walls were filled with the smell of disinfectant water, which swarmed into his nose and reminded him that he was hospitalized again.
He felt sore all over as if he had been violently beaten. When he sat up strenuously, he just found a woman lying on his bedside, who was sleeping, with her dark hair scattered.
Perhaps it was his actions that alarmed the person at his bedside. The woman rubbed her sleepy eyes and was surprised. “Brother, are you awake?”
“Uh, sister, why are you sleeping here?”
Ding Ning asked in amazement, looking at Ding Qianlie’s dark eyes and tired face.
“You have fainted for a day and a night. If you don’t wake up, how can I leave? But as a doctor, how could you make yourself faint when you treated a patient? Fortunately, the doctor examined you and said you didn’t have any problems but had used too much strength.”
Ding Qianlie stretched lazily, yawned, had tears in her thin eyes, and kept nagging, but the worry and care in her words warmed Ding Ning’s heart, just like the warmth that his mother nagged constantly at his ears.
Seeing that Ding Ning was staring stupidly at her without words, Ding Qianlie said a little awkwardly, “You should be hungry. Let me get you some food.”
Ding Ning was so excited that he suddenly held her hand with his. “Sister, I’m not hungry, and you should rest for a while.”
Ding Qianlie stiffened and faintly blushed, and muttered, “I want to rest, but I need a place.”
“Go to bed and lie down for a while. I’ve been lying down for so long, and I seem to have been rusty. Let me do some exercise on the ground.”
Ding Ning forcefully pulled Ding Qianlie to his bed. When he was about to get out of bed, he fainted and nearly fell.
Ding Qianlie held him in her arms and, averting his eyes, said, “You haven’t recovered yet, so let’s lie down together.”
“I...”
Ding Ning was surprised, looking at Ding Qianlie strangely.
Ding Qianlie’s face became slightly red. She turned and said insincerely, “I’m your sister, I’m not afraid, but why are you afraid?”
“Uh... All right!”
Ding Ning felt her drumming heartbeats and thought this was a bit unsuitable, but since she had said so, he would seem to have a bad conscience if he tried to refuse.
They two lay side by side on the bed. Ding Ning moved his lips twice, wanting to say something, but didn’t know where to start. He thought that although he and his sister had acquainted with each other, they had not seen each other for more than 20 years. Now, he was a little embarrassed lying together with her. After all, his sister was the same beauty as Shen Muqing, and she was extremely hot.
More importantly, the hospital bed was not large, and they would inevitably have physical contact when they closely lay together. The soft touch and the faint body fragrance that came to his nostrils made him feel a little enchanted, but he cursed himself an animal because he wanted to bed his sister. Instantly, he calmed himself down and began to practice the “Heart Sutra of Bodhi”.
Ding Qianlie stiffened, with her back against Ding Ning. Although she slept in her clothes, she was still very nervous, for she knew that they didn’t share the same blood, let alone they had had intimate contacts before.
Now, when she recalled the romantic experience of that day, though her aim was to save him, she would taste the feeling of combing spirit and flesh again and again, so she had special feelings.
Feeling the masculine air behind her, Ding Qianlie became quite nervous. After she bit her red lips lightly, she didn’t feel sleepy anymore, and her beautiful eyes glinted. She was worried that Ding Ning would do something immoral to her, but she also faintly expected it.
She thought about it insanely. “If he cannot control his ‘animal nature’ and want to do something to me, should I refuse him or accept him by pretending to refuse him?”
“No, it’s impossible. He doesn’t know I am not his biological sister, so how could he do such immoral things to me?” Thinking of this, Ding Qianlie felt a little frustrated.
She was already 25 and well-rounded. If she had not experienced sex life, she would not be so now, but after experiencing that wonderful feeling, she had known its comfort and had a strong desire for it.
She had always been dismissive of men, but she had dreamed lots of shameless dreams during this time. The man in her dreams was now lying next to her, but she could not do the thing with him. That’s why she was sad.
She was restless in bed and had entangled emotions. After a long time, her eyelids turned heavy and she fell asleep.
She had a romantic dream, in which she and Ding Ning made love again and she reached the paradise of her soul again and again and gained the utmost happiness.
When the morning sunlight came into the ward, Ding Ning faintly felt that a fragrant woman was lying in his arms, but he didn’t realize who she was and subconsciously thought she was Luoxue.
As a result, he naturally lifted up the blouse at her waist with a filthy hand that had been used to it and quickly occupied her “commanding height”.
Ding Qianlie became stiff, her brain booming, and she blushed. She had woken up for a while but did not know when she had got into Ding Ning’s arms. His legs were still coiled on her legs, so that she did not dare to move her legs and only had to close her eyes to pretend to sleep.
Just now, she wanted to hurriedly get up when he turned around, but she never thought that he would move further and touch her in an overt manner, making her ashamed, anxious, and annoyed, but she also had some inexplicable faint joy and secretly muttered, “Is he pretending to sleep to touch me?”
“Gee, when did Luoxue’s become bigger? No, no, this is not Luoxue’s. Whose is that? Is it... Oh my god, this is my sister’s.”
Ding Ning shuddered, instantly took back his filthy hand, and quickly opened his eyes to see Ding Qianlie’s flickering long eyelashes and blushing cheeks.
“My sister is awake. I even touched my sister’s... I’m an animal.” Ding Ning felt quite ashamed and moved his lips slightly. “Sister, sorry, I... I...”
