Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Xia Liu's Divine Sense remained open, noticing quite a few people in police uniforms standing at the door.

He felt no reason to be flustered.

He had all the necessary documents and credentials.

It was Lina who opened the door.

After a brief exchange, Lina turned her head to Xia Liu and said, "Mr. Xia, I'll leave President Guo in your hands. I'll go to the police station with them."

"Alright."

Xia Liu replied, neither joyful nor sorrowful.

As the door closed, Xia Liu placed his palms on Xilu's and Xima's heads, respectively.

Activating the Five Elements Mantra, Spiritual Energy coursed into both of their bodies.

After a round of purification, the poison within their bodies was finally neutralized.

However, they didn't wake up immediately.

Xia Liu had to find a spare blanket to cover them.

After finishing all this, Xia Liu quietly pulled up a chair and sat by the bed.

The room was utterly silent, with Guo Man sleeping quite soundly.

Her red lips remained just as captivating, and staring at her ignited a strong urge to lean down and kiss her.

Xia Liu activated a spell to suppress such thoughts.

This was his best chance to make a good impression; he had to ensure Guo Man would develop a favorable opinion of him.

Time passed second by second, and night was approaching.

Seated steadfastly by the bedside, Xia Liu occasionally fixed his gaze on the beauty lying on the white bedsheets, and at other times longed for the crimson remnants of the setting sun.

"Mnh..."

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the bed.

Before Xia Liu could divert his gaze, their eyes met.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Only their trembling eyes betrayed the passage of everything.

Guo Man's mind was a blank slate as she desperately tried to piece together the memories from before she had fainted.

A flood of images suddenly erupted in her mind.

The one seared most vividly in her memory was the last moment—when she embraced Xia Liu, repeatedly biting at him.

"What did you do to me?!"

Almost as an instinctive reaction, Guo Man arched her body, wrapping herself tightly in the white bedding.

She repeatedly sensed her own body.

But there was no sensation at all, as if she had been anesthetized.

"I..."

Slap!

Before Xia Liu could say more, a crisp slap resounded through the suite.

"How dare you do such a thing to me! I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

"Waaah..."

Having slapped Xia Liu, Guo Man buried her head into her knees and began to cry bitterly.

Touching his numb but unfeeling cheek, Xia Liu couldn't help but feel some resentment. He couldn't even remember the last time a woman had dared to hit him.

Though he easily could have dodged, his instincts told him it was better not to. Otherwise, he might risk losing this precious opportunity.

He silently marked the slap in his memory—it was something he'd reclaim in the future after completing his mission.

And the method of reclaiming it? Naturally...

Lina knew the truth of the situation. First, he had to explain briefly, and once Lina returned, Guo Man would understand everything.

But just as Xia Liu was about to explain again,

Xilu and Xima, having been stirred by the commotion, woke up at this moment.

The two quickly got up and rushed to the bed.

"President Guo! What's wrong?!"

"President Guo!"

Seeing Guo Man crying miserably, Xilu and Xima instantly directed their hostility toward Xia Liu.

"It's not what you think."

"What else is there to say? Get out!"

Before Xia Liu could finish speaking, Guo Man erupted in rage.

"Mr. Xia! Please leave!"

Xima and Xilu stood in front of the bed, glaring coldly at Xia Liu. Even if they couldn't match him in strength, they resolved to stand firmly in Guo Man's defense.

"Fine, take care of yourself."

Xia Liu sighed helplessly, gave a bitter smile, then decisively got up and left the room.

"Hah... This match, I think I've still won. Guo Man, I'll wait for you to apologize to me personally."

Exhaling deeply, Xia Liu released all his frustration.

Glancing at the door once more, Xia Liu took the elevator and left this place of trouble.

Soon after Xia Liu left, Guo Man seemed like a completely different person, dismissing Xilu and Xima from the room.

Gazing into the now-empty space, Guo Man's heart felt just as hollow.

She never thought she would have a day like this.

Wrapped in a white bathrobe, she slowly stepped into the bathroom,

determined to wash clean the body tainted by the mortal world.

Over an hour later, she emerged from the bathroom, her expression markedly altered—confusion had now set in.

"Why is everything still intact? That poison should have left me numb and unconscious!"

Yes, Guo Man was shaken. After soaking in hot water,

her body had regained all its sensations.

And upon inspection, she confirmed she hadn't been violated in any way.

Knock, knock, knock!

While Guo Man was stuck in her thoughts, a loud knock on the door startled her.

"President Guo, it's me, Lina. Are you alright?"

Lina's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"Lina, did you just get here?"

Guo Man, having recomposed herself, opened the door and let Lina, along with Xilu and Xima, into the room.

"Thank goodness you're alright!"

Ten minutes earlier, Lina had returned to the hotel. After Xilu briefed her on the situation outside the door, she decided she had to go in to explain everything.

"How did you know I was here? And what's the deal with Xia Liu?"

Guo Man was now particularly concerned about Xia Liu.

A moment ago, in her fit of rage, she had slapped him. For a man, being slapped by a woman—especially on the face—was undoubtedly a deep insult to their pride and dignity.

"I intentionally stayed back this morning and called Mr. Xia over. As it turns out, I was right. When Mr. Xia and I arrived at the Red Star Hotel..."

Upon hearing Guo Man inquire about Xia Liu, Lina quickly recounted the entire sequence of events.

"Mr. Xia was incredibly skilled. He used cold water to suppress the effects of the drug on you, then completely neutralized the poison with his mysterious acupuncture technique. After handling everything, he stepped outside so I could take care of you, ensuring he didn't cross any boundaries. Then the police arrived, and I went with them to give a statement."

"That doesn't seem possible, does it?"

"Exactly. How could any man remain so composed?"

Lina detailed how Xia Liu hadn't touched Guo Man's body inappropriately. Even when undoing her buttons, he had Lina assist him. After completing the treatment, he left immediately to give space for Guo Man to be looked after.

It was baffling. With Guo Man's stunning figure and appearance, how could any man resist such temptation?

Guo Man stood frozen, lost in thought.

She believed Lina's account.

After all, her body had remained intact,

with no aftereffects. The poison that had invaded her had been neutralized.

The same went for Xilu and Xima.

It was all the work of Xia Liu!

Not only did he detoxify her, but he also avoided any inappropriate contact with her body.

It was a level of restraint and gentlemanliness beyond even the famed Liu Xiahui.

Guo Man was filled with regret. How could she have reacted so rashly and slapped Xia Liu?

"Lina, go find me an outfit and prepare a car. I'm going to see Xia Liu!"
