The process of removing the yin energy went very smoothly, and delaying it by another five minutes would have made things even safer.
Song Chuyue was amazed. She had actually started to believe in such matters, having seen it with her own eyes through the video. Ou Xiaoxue had many marks on her body before, each one so conspicuous and terrifying to look at.
If those marks were bruises, when treating them, one would definitely have to use medicinal wine, medicinal oil, and the like, to rub them, and it would take a long time to eliminate them completely.
But now, after only fifteen minutes, there were no residual marks left on Ou Xiaoxue's body at all. One couldn't see any trace of them, as if those marks had never existed.
Song Chuyue sighed, "If only we could heal our injuries so easily when we get hurt."
Ye Tiancheng explained from the side, "Actually, you can. I can do that. As long as it's not about removing yin energy, but just ordinary bruises, I can heal them directly."
This time, with a precedent set, neither Ou Xiaoxue nor Song Chuyue reacted with doubt. Instead, they looked at Ye Tiancheng with adoration, "That's amazing, so magical!"
Ye Tiancheng asked Ou Xiaoxue to wait a moment, then he went to get a screen. Ou Xiaoxue looked at Ye Tiancheng curiously, and Ye Tiancheng said to her, "Use this to shield yourself. Go behind the screen and check if the marks on your body have really all disappeared."
Ou Xiaoxue nodded when Ye Tiancheng said this, then went behind the screen as instructed and carefully examined her condition.
Outside the screen, to avoid any suspicion, they didn't peek. In fact, Ou Xiaoxue and Song Chuyue now believed in the character of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. However, to be safe, both the little fox and Ye Tiancheng faced Ou Xiaoxue's phone screen. Even if they weren't chatting with Song Chuyue on the screen, they wouldn't casually shift their gaze.
After a while, Ou Xiaoxue came out from behind the screen and hesitated to tell Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, "It seems I still have some bluish-purple marks on me... I don't know what's going on. Do I need to keep those on for a while longer?"
The little fox thought it unlikely and said, "Are there any marks in a convenient place to see?"
Ou Xiaoxue nodded, rolled up her trouser leg. There were still some smaller bluish-purple bruises on her leg, which indeed had not disappeared. However, the little fox shook his head and said, "These are from you bumping yourself, they have nothing to do with yin energy. The yin energy has been completely removed."
Ye Tiancheng said, "Ah, in that case, I can handle this kind of injury. Let me do it."
Ou Xiaoxue smiled shyly. It was also because everything had been lumped together that she had generalized all these marks, completely forgetting the possibility of her own accidental bumps.
Thinking about it, it was indeed the case. After all, she had bumped into things and stumbled around in order to survive these past two days, so it was unavoidable. But she had been so scared at the time that she hadn't paid attention to any of her injuries.
If it hadn't been mentioned, and she hadn't seen these marks, and with the previous marks created by the yin energy covering them, Ou Xiaoxue hadn't realized she had been injured by bumping into things.
She then asked Ye Tiancheng, "Then how should the injury be treated? My injuries... some places might be a bit inconvenient."
Ye Tiancheng reassured her, "Oh, you can rest assured about this. Actually, as long as you let me touch any part of your body that you are comfortable with, I can treat it upon contact."
"Actually, it's also possible to apply those things Ye Li gave you all in one place. It's just that it would take longer to disperse the energy from a concentrated point throughout your body, which is why Ye Li put them on different parts of your body."
What Ye Tiancheng said was quite easy to understand. With his explanation, Ou Xiaoxue could understand, "Now I understand. Brother Ye, you explain it so simply."
She extended her hand to Ye Tiancheng. Direct hand-to-hand contact was a less intimate form of contact and wouldn't seem strange.
Ye Tiancheng took Ou Xiaoxue's hand, gathered his true qi, and transferred it into Ou Xiaoxue's body. For such a light injury as Ou Xiaoxue's, just a few bruises on her body, it didn't take much effort for Ye Tiancheng. In the blink of an eye, Ou Xiaoxue watched as the bruises on her leg completely disappeared.
She had encountered so many miraculous events that night that she was almost numb with amazement, "It actually works, and so quickly."
The little fox glanced at her and said, "It's fast because your injuries are really too light. My elder brother's treatment method can save you instantly even if you are severely injured and on the verge of death, making you seem like nothing happened. Your minor bumps will surely heal in an instant."
Ye Tiancheng just smiled and said nothing more. Although he was a kind person, he wasn't that kind.
He chose to help Ou Xiaoxue treat these minor injuries partly because he still needed to retrieve the Fuxi Qin fragments later, and the location was Ou Xiaoxue's home. To prevent any unexpected situations, it was better to gain Ou Xiaoxue's trust.
On the other hand, as he had mentioned before, he could heal such injuries. If the young lady brought it up, he still had to treat it, otherwise, he would seem like a boastful liar. Furthermore, demonstrating it again on the spot could further gain Ou Xiaoxue's trust and make her believe his words and the abilities of him and the little fox more.
After dealing with this harmless minor scar, Ye Tiancheng asked the little fox to continue checking Ou Xiaoxue for any other abnormalities.
The little fox nodded and primarily asked Ou Xiaoxue to stand up. When there were no particular findings, he wouldn't touch Ou Xiaoxue, as it would be inappropriate due to the difference between genders.
The little fox looked at Ou Xiaoxue for a moment, then his brow furrowed. His gaze fell on Ou Xiaoxue's ear.
Ye Tiancheng saw the little fox's expression and felt that things might not be going well, so he asked, "What's wrong? Little Fox, have you discovered any problems?"
The little fox hesitated for a moment, then said to Ye Tiancheng, "It's like this. Before, because Ou Xiaoxue's yin energy was too dense, I couldn't see her true appearance at all, so I couldn't make a judgment."
"But now that the yin energy has been removed, I've found that Ou Xiaoxue's earlobes are blackened, and she has two fewer 'yang fires' on her shoulders. This looks very bad. Isn't this... a harbinger of death?"
Ou Xiaoxue was terrified on the spot and stammered, unable to speak clearly, "A harbinger of death? What does that mean? Does it mean I'm about to die?"
Seeing her so flustered, the little fox felt that if she couldn't calm down, it wouldn't be good for him and Ye Tiancheng. He explained the matter to her.
"It means you're about to die, but not entirely. People with such a harbinger of death will not die as long as the harbinger of death is resolved. Therefore, people with a harbinger of death on them will not necessarily die."
With the little fox's explanation, Ou Xiaoxue managed to calm down a bit and continued to listen.
"As for the two fires on your shoulders, I don't know if you've heard of it. In traditional folklore, it's said that people have three fires on their bodies, one on their head and one on each shoulder. These three fires represent the strength of your yang energy. If the fires are extinguished, you will easily be possessed by evil spirits."
"So, traditional folklore also says that if you're walking on the road and hear someone calling your name, don't turn your head abruptly. That's the reason why. This action can easily extinguish your own yang fire on your shoulders."
"Look, it's not strange that you were so severely possessed these past two days and extinguished two fires on your shoulders. But this is not the most critical problem. It just means that your yang energy is very weak. There is still hope, and it won't kill you instantly. It's not the cause of your death."
The little fox continued to analyze, "However, your harbinger of death is quite strange. I don't see any yin energy on you, so it's naturally impossible for any evil spirits to be hidden on you. But this harbinger of death must be related to evil spirits. I can't quite understand why it's like this?"
Since the little fox couldn't understand, Ou Xiaoxue, who was completely an outsider, couldn't understand even more. She asked blankly, "Then, what should we do next?"
The little fox pondered for a moment. "How about this, Ou Xiaoxue, go behind the screen again and check carefully. After my elder brother's treatment, are there any remaining marks on you that haven't been removed?"
Ou Xiaoxue nodded at the little fox's words and immediately went behind the screen again. After checking for a long time, she came out, but she shook her head, "No, this time, there are no marks on me at all. What should we do?"
However, just as the little fox frowned in confusion, Ye Tiancheng suddenly said, "Xiaoxue, just stand there, don't move."
As soon as Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, Ou Xiaoxue instinctively obeyed and stood still. From Ye Tiancheng's angle, he could see the back of Ou Xiaoxue's neck. After leaning in to look, he called out to the little fox.
"Little Fox, come quickly and see. Xiaoxue, what is this red mark on the back of her neck?"
At the same time, Ye Tiancheng asked Ou Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, do you know you have such a mark on your body? I know you can't see it. I mean, have you ever had a birthmark-like existence on your body? Was it there originally, or did it appear later? We need to confirm."
But when Ou Xiaoxue heard Ye Tiancheng say this, she was very surprised. She said, "A birthmark? I don't think so. As far as I recall, no one has mentioned this to me? Chuyue, you haven't seen it either, have you?"
Ou Xiaoxue said this while confirming with Song Chuyue, who was video calling her. Song Chuyue also said, "I've definitely never seen such a mark. It shouldn't have been there originally. Xiaoxue, when we went shopping before, didn't you wear backless tops? If you had it, it would definitely have been seen! We've never seen such a red mark on you!"
If that was the case, then this red mark definitely wasn't a birthmark or anything like that. It was very likely that it appeared on Ou Xiaoxue after she was possessed by evil spirits. The little fox walked behind Ou Xiaoxue after hearing this and looked up.
