Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Xia Liu delivered a precise chop to Liang Chao's nape.

At the same time, a small amount of Earth Spirit Energy flowed into Liang Chao's body.

For scum like this, Xia Liu would never show mercy.

Keeping him alive would only bring harm to more people.

The usage of Earth Spirit Energy ensured Liang Chao would die unnoticed and untraceably.

Even if a Heaven-Rank Warrior investigated, they wouldn't be able to pinpoint the exact cause of death.

After the strike, Liang Chao slumped unconscious onto the sofa.

Lina hadn't aimed directly at Liang Chao's head but fired at his arm, rendering him unable to grip the pistol.

Taking a deep breath, Lina hurriedly rushed in from the doorway.

A large group of security personnel followed closely behind her.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Without overthinking, Lina expressed her gratitude and immediately checked Guo Man's condition.

However, Guo Man pushed Lina aside and threw herself madly at Xia Liu.

Xia Liu's aura carried a strong masculine energy that Guo Man was acutely sensitive to.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Guo Man's hands intertwined around Xia Liu's neck, her face burying itself recklessly against him.

Standing at 1.75 meters tall and wearing high heels, she was almost eye-level with Xia Liu.

She lifted her gaze, her blurred, hazy eyes locking onto Xia Liu's.

In the instant she tilted her head upward, Xia Liu shoved her away.

"Lina, go fill the bathtub with hot water!"

If not for the presence of security guards and Lina by his side, Xia Liu wouldn't have pushed Guo Man away.

"Alright! I'll do it right now!"

Lina was briefly stunned before responding quickly.

With her professional judgment, Lina deduced that Guo Man was poisoned—by a cruel aphrodisiac toxin.

Even if there were an antidote, at this stage, it was likely ineffective.

Guo Man had completely lost consciousness.

The toxin had already infiltrated every drop of her blood.

Only by letting her experience a euphoric release could the toxin be calmed, followed by several days of recovery for total healing.

Though she didn't know why Xia Liu requested hot water, Lina didn't have time to ponder.

"You, take that criminal out of here and call the police to handle him," she instructed the security guards after preparing the hot water.

Moments later, several guards carried Liang Chao out of the room.

As the door shut tightly, Lina turned around and witnessed an unexpected scene.

Guo Man had shed all her usual icy demeanor, resembling a wild beast with Xia Liu as her prey.

She was ravenously devouring her prey, even biting so hard that Xia Liu's lips began to bleed.

Xia Liu stared wide-eyed at the dangerously close Guo Man.

The energy within his body was boiling over.

But he absolutely couldn't act on impulse.

No matter how unbearable the temptation.

"Mr. Xia, you…"

Seeing Xia Liu neither push away Guo Man nor make any inappropriate moves, Lina was bewildered.

Especially with Guo Man's unrestrained groping and taking advantage of him.

"I'm fine, her poison should subside soon."

Xia Liu shifted to hold Guo Man at arm's length, then swiftly moved behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Amid Guo Man's frantic struggling, he carried her toward the bathroom.

With a splash, Guo Man was mercilessly tossed into the bathtub by Xia Liu, who pressed down on her shoulders to keep her submerged.

Yet Guo Man, completely unconscious, kept thrashing about in the water.

Before long, Xia Liu was soaked from head to toe.

"Mr. Xia, what now?"

Beside him, Lina was on the brink of tears.

Guo Man had been raised as a pampered young lady of a prestigious family; when had she ever suffered such hardship?

Despite her privileged upbringing, Guo Man wasn't the stereotypical spoiled princess. Those who got to know her soon discovered her caring and considerate nature as both a boss and a friend.

Lina wished she could bear all of Guo Man's pain herself, even if it was doubled.

"Hold her down for me; don't let her get up."

When Lina pinioned Guo Man in place, Xia Liu channeled his energy and inserted a long silver needle into her head.

The moment the needle pierced an appropriate acupuncture point, Guo Man ceased her struggles, and her eyes gently closed.

"What's happening to President Guo?"

"Don't worry, she's merely passed out temporarily."

Seeing Lina about to cry, Xia Liu hurriedly reassured her.

"The water helps reduce her body's surface temperature to achieve partial detoxification. Combined with my acupuncture, the poison should be dispelled."

Of course, the reality wasn't so straightforward.

Without the assistance of Spiritual Energy, detoxification would be out of the question, but he offered this explanation to dispel Lina's doubts.

"So, is President Guo better now?"

Lina asked cautiously.

"Not yet, I haven't started the full acupuncture detoxification process."

"Oh, oh! Can I help you with anything?"

"Men and women aren't supposed to touch casually. Stay where you are and help me unbutton the top two buttons of her shirt."

This…

For a split moment, Lina indeed suspected that Xia Liu might take advantage of the situation.

After thinking more deeply, she dismissed the idea.

Xia Liu had countless opportunities to behave improperly, even do far worse, yet he hadn't.

Now, the only reason he couldn't personally touch Guo Man was decorum, so he asked for her help.

Lina gently unfastened Guo Man's buttons.

Stepping back, Xia Liu quickly inserted three silver needles into her chest.

After completing the procedure, Xia Liu turned his head away.

In situations like these, one must act like an Oscar winner.

It's not that Xia Liu didn't want to look, but he needed Lina to believe in his integrity.

As expected, seeing Xia Liu's honorable actions, Lina was astounded.

"Perhaps his heart still belongs to his missing wife and child. Or maybe he was so hurt by a woman that he can no longer develop feelings for others."

Lina sighed endlessly in her mind. How could such a good man have been betrayed by his wife?

Meanwhile, Xia Liu covertly observed Guo Man's condition using Divine Sense. He needed to monitor her reactions to determine whether the toxin was dissipating.

Of course, he also took the liberty of lingering on her chest briefly.

Roughly ten minutes passed before Xia Liu noticed a slight twitch in her brow.

He turned, sweeping his hand skillfully to retrieve the needles from her chest.

The needle in her head was just as swiftly withdrawn.

"Pfft!"

Upon the silver needle's removal, Guo Man opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

She slumped back against the edge of the bathtub.

"Don't worry; her poison has been neutralized. She just needs to rest now," Xia Liu explained preemptively before Lina could speak.

Guo Man's entire body was drenched. Aware of propriety, Xia Liu exchanged a few words with Lina before leaving the room.

Strolling the corridor for a while, Xia Liu was eventually called back by Lina.

On the wide, white bed, Guo Man's cheeks were flushed, her breathing even—deeply asleep.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for detoxifying President Guo. By the way, what's the status of my two sisters?"

Lina's biggest concern wasn't Guo Man but her sisters, Xilu and Xima.

Knock, knock, knock…

Just as Xia Liu opened his mouth to respond, loud knocking came from the door…
