Li Chuan, though feeling a bit reluctant, finally sighed and said, "In your current condition, I'm afraid you won't live past six months!"
"Six months?" Those words struck Zhao Qingyao like a bolt from the blue, and her mind went blank.
According to her private doctor, she could live at least another twenty years. Though not very long, if she lived fully, it would be worth it!
But now only six months?
No matter how exciting, that's far too short!
In six months, it would be her thirtieth birthday, and she definitely didn't want to leave on her birthday!
Li Chuan looked sorrowful: "Earlier, I hadn't noticed, but upon closer inspection, I found your uterus is still aging; in other words, it's like an elderly person in old age, and this aging will affect surrounding organs, eventually leading you to burn out."
Zhao Qingyao was initially shocked, but she quickly recovered her composure, revealing a carefree smile: "I never expected I would only have six months to live. It seems my thirtieth birthday is my deadline. Luckily, I've traveled to all the places I wanted to visit these past few years, so it's not in vain."
Although Zhao Qingyao smiled, her beautiful eyes filled with mist, and a tear slowly fell.
Her body used to be healthy. She didn't know why things turned out this way!
Ever since her stillbirth, she consulted many doctors and experts, most of whom said she only had twenty years to live, and this number kept decreasing over time. It was a strange illness, untreatable, only manageable.
Who would have thought that living even another twenty years was a luxury!
Six months—this time frame is cruel to her!
Li Chuan gently embraced Zhao Qingyao, comforting her: "Sister Qingyao, they say life and death are fated, but everyone hopes to live longer, so if you want to cry, just let it out. Crying will make you feel better."
"And what good will it do me if I cry?" Zhao Qingyao shook her head, tightly wrapping her arms around Li Chuan's neck, biting his ear as if venting.
Now she realized there are indeed things and people in this world worth cherishing.
Like this young man in front of her.
Her biting and licking rendered Li Chuan a bit uncomfortable, and after hesitating, he said: "Sister Qingyao, how about I give you a massage, perhaps stimulating acupoints might help your body gradually return to normal."
"Hmm? Is it possible to treat this with massage?"
Li Chuan shook his head: "It can only alleviate. As for a cure, I have no way."
Seeing the disappointment in Zhao Qingyao's eyes, Li Chuan suddenly thought of the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique and the Ghost Gate Pulse Technique, and said at once: "Sister Qingyao, please don't rush, give me some time, I should be able to find a cure for you."
"Are you saying, you can cure me?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyao's body trembled, her face became very tense. No matter what, if she could live, who would want to die?
She still has many unfulfilled wishes.
She still hasn't truly enjoyed the happiness a woman can feel!
Moreover, she is now at the best age for a woman: small waist, long legs, skin like cream, endless charm!
Li Chuan nodded: "Sister Qingyao, have you ever heard of Qi Gong?"
Zhao Qingyao nodded: "Of course I've heard of it; I know Qi Gong can heal, but there are too many charlatans these days!"
Li Chuang laughed: "Do you think I'm a charlatan?"
Zhao Qingyao was momentarily stunned, then shook her head: "You little rascal, are you saying you know Qi Gong?"
Li Chuan was somewhat embarrassed: "I don't know it yet, but I should learn it soon enough, then I can use massage techniques combined with True Qi to certainly cure you!"
Upon hearing this, the hope in Zhao Qingyao's heart was immediately dashed: "So, you don't know it yet, and True Qi sounds very hard to cultivate. Can you achieve it in six months? That seems impossible, doesn't it?"
Zhao Qingyao felt Li Chuan was simply comforting her.
She had heard of True Qi before; it takes at least ten to twenty years of practice to be effective.
"I can, Sister Qingyao." Li Chuan was a bit anxious, "The cultivation technique I'm practicing is unlike anything you've heard of; it doesn't require special practice yet can generate True Qi."
Having studied medicine with his grandfather, he knew that all patients with terminal illnesses share a commonality: if they lose hope, their lives become truly like candles in the wind, not lasting long at all!
Many patients are scared to death by their symptoms!
As long as there is hope, one can definitely overcome illnesses!
"Kid, you're playing with me, aren't you? Do you think this is like muscle training?" Zhao Qingyao listened to Li Chuan and was somewhat speechless.
"Sister Qingyao, I really didn't lie to you." Seeing Zhao Qingyao's mindset worsening, Li Chuan couldn't help but worry, quickly adding: "The cultivation technique I'm training in is very special. Just by having intercourse with women, I can produce True Qi, and the more women and sessions, the stronger I become! By then, curing your illness will be a breeze!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyao was completely stunned. It took a while before she said, "You're talking about the legendary Dual Cultivation Technique? It really exists in this world?"
"Yes, exactly as you think, the Dual Cultivation Technique!" Li Chuan immediately nodded. He didn't expect Zhao Qingyao to know about Dual Cultivation Techniques, making it much easier to explain!
Zhao Qingyao was initially dumbfounded, then an expression of resignation appeared: "You're so shy and reserved, only I would fancy you. Yet you say to get stronger, you need to find more women? Where to find them!"
Li Chuan: "..."
This problem was really unresolvable!
"Chuan, I think perhaps I could start with dual cultivation with you, then find an opportunity to seduce your sister-in-law, having two women would help, don't you think?" Zhao Qingyao blinked.
Li Chuan was shocked at these words: "Sister Qingyao, but she's my sister-in-law, anyone else is fine, but regarding her, I can't…"
"Tsk! Don't say you can't. I see Huanxiang checking you out in a saucy way!" Zhao Qingyao giggled.
"You must have mistaken!" Li Chuan was quite speechless.
"Forget it; for now, let's first try with me." Zhao Qingyao gazed steadily at Li Chuan.
Li Chuan blushed: "Hmm… Actually, I… wanted to try with you long ago, but I thought your body was fine before. Now… your body isn't well… I worry something might go wrong during dual cultivation..."
"Hmm? Something could go wrong during that?" Zhao Qingyao asked curiously.
Li Chuan thought for a moment, nervously replied: "I'm afraid of, you know, screwing you to death."
Zhao Qingyao: "..."
