Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1094 - 571: You Troublesome Guy

Gazing at the injury on her waist, Gu Sheng's heart ached with sorrow.

"It could sting a little when you lie down; try to endure it."

Once Hong Mei nodded in agreement, Gu Sheng retrieved a portion of Spirit Food, softly pulverized it, coated a silver needle with the substance, and immediately, Spiritual Power clung to the needle.

He pinpointed the precise acupuncture point and carefully slid the needle inside.

The moment the needle penetrated, the borders of Hong Mei’s wound started mending.

Observing this progress, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded with the acupuncture treatment.

Having placed more than a dozen silver needles, he assisted Hong Mei in sitting upright, channeled Divine Power into his palms, and softly rested them against her back.

Sensing Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Power flowing into her, Hong Mei promptly shut her eyes and drew it in, steering it toward the injury.

Gu Sheng poured all his energy into healing her, yearning to pour every bit of his Spiritual Power into her. Hong Mei experienced a surge of potent Spiritual Energy churning within her, and in less than half a stick of incense, her wound slowly closed up, the ache faded away, and her form grew lighter and more heated, unmistakably showing a boost in her power.

Aware that she was taking in Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Power, Hong Mei swiftly opened her eyes and leaned forward a bit to pull away from his touch.

"Gu Sheng, that's sufficient; my injury has mended."

"The Spiritual Power within you is churning; a breakthrough might be imminent. Would you like my assistance?"

Noticing his face had grown somewhat pallid, Hong Mei hurriedly shook her head.

"No, advancing with outside aid isn't solid; I prefer to advance by myself."

Perceiving the concern in her gaze, how could Gu Sheng fail to grasp her intention?

"Lie down, allow me to examine your wound."

Seeing he had ceased at last, Hong Mei compliantly reclined, letting him check her injury.

Observing that the wound had completely mended yet retained a subtle red scar, Gu Sheng furrowed his brow involuntarily.

He pivoted to fetch a Spirit Stone, planning to apply it to Hong Mei, but she swiftly halted him.

"Don't squander the Spirit Stone; my injury is healed, merely a faint red trace that's hardly noticeable and will vanish in time."

"Others may not spot it, but you will, and it mars your looks."

"No, it's not a severe scar, just a pale red hue that'll diminish. I possess some herbs; I can rub them on myself, no reason to expend the Spirit Stone."

"Applying it to you isn't wasteful, provided you recover entirely."

With these words, Gu Sheng disregarded her objection, gripped her arm steadily to stop any resistance, and ground the stone using his free hand.

As the Spiritual Power emerged, Gu Sheng meticulously positioned the stone pieces onto the red mark across Hong Mei’s abdomen.

His fingertips lightly shifted, directing the Spiritual Power across Hong Mei’s belly.

After some time, the red mark vanished entirely.

Watching her skin revert to its typical pristine white, without any remnant, Gu Sheng at last grinned.

He lifted his gaze to Hong Mei and became aware of their nearness; Hong Mei was reclining, her garments in disarray, revealing the pale skin of her midriff, while he remained beside her, clasping her hand, peering down at her.

In this intimate distance, Gu Sheng deemed Hong Mei remarkably stunning.

Right then, her face blushed with embarrassment, her wide eyes glimmered with moisture, and her extended lashes quivered, each movement stirring his emotions. His eyes drifted to her full crimson lips.

For some reason, Gu Sheng sensed a constriction in his throat.

It felt as though an unseen force drew him; his head started descending without thought.

Witnessing his movement, Hong Mei’s lashes trembled and ultimately, she shut her eyes.

Right when their lips nearly touched, Lan Yao’s pressing voice sounded from beyond the door.

"Gu Sheng, how is it? Is Hong Mei alright?"

The sudden interruption jolted both of them.

Realizing companions lingered outside, Hong Mei promptly drew her hand back from his.

"Lan Yao and the rest are still waiting beyond; don't make them linger."

She hastily started adjusting her garments with awkward motions.

Noting she was about to don the bloodied attire, Gu Sheng swiftly lifted a hand to halt her.

"Those garments are soiled; don't put them on. Stay here and rest while I fetch fresh ones for you."

With that, Gu Sheng gazed at her with deep affection before turning to depart.

Beyond the entrance, Lan Yao and the others paced in great worry. Spotting Gu Sheng emerge, they rushed toward him right away.

"Gu Sheng, how is Hong Mei? Is she alright?"

Casting a look at Lan Yao, Gu Sheng found him rather irksome.

"She hasn't fully mended yet. There's a herbal store at the southeast edge of this settlement with a Thousand-year-old Ginseng that's beneficial for Hong Mei; purchase it."

"What? A Thousand-year-old Ginseng? That's a top-tier among elite spiritual treasures; how could such a thing be available here?"

"How do you know it's absent without checking?"

"No, I didn't intend that..."

"Then go."

Lan Yao had no option but to hurry away.

Observing his departing form, Gu Sheng ultimately sneered.

If he'd dispatched Lan Yao sooner, that bothersome fellow!

"Brother Sheng, do you need us to handle anything? Can we assist?"
