Chapter 365: 365: There is a kind of person called "brother
"I’m sorry, I can’t make decisions for my sister. I believe her life should be her choice."
In the end, Li Wei Qiao made a decision.
He respected his sister’s decision, and Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang respected his decision.
"Then I’ll first remove the Lover’s Spell from her body," Mu Qiuniang said.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Jiang."
Meanwhile, Mu Mingyu had already set up the table and chairs, creating a temporary bed.
Li Wei Qiao laid Li Qiqi on the "bed," and after she was lying down properly, Mu Qiuniang walked over to give her acupuncture. In no time, Li Qiqi turned into a hedgehog.
Mu Qiuniang took a teacup and, from somewhere, took out a Beast-attracting Pill, placed it between her index finger and thumb, and crushed it into powder, sprinkling it into the bottom of the cup.
She placed the cup by Li Qiqi’s hand, then took out a knife and made a cut on Li Qiqi’s wrist, immediately causing fresh blood to flow out, dripping onto the powder.
The powder instantly turned red, and a strange fragrance wafted from the cup.
This thing... Li Wei Qiao’s eyes widened. It’s amazing that a drop of blood could stain so much white powder red? And the aroma is so enticing that it makes his stomach growl, as if he hadn’t eaten in ages, making him swallow hard.
"Shh..." Mu Qiuniang signaled everyone to keep silent, and everyone nervously watched the wound.
Even Li Wei Qiao, who knew nothing, couldn’t help but feel a bit of anticipation. Isn’t this how it’s played out in movies? That terrifying little bug would come out of the wound.
Mu Qiuniang’s fingers lightly moved over Li Qiqi’s body. Ordinary people wouldn’t see the white spiritual energy flowing through Li Qiqi’s meridians, slowly pushing towards the Dantian.
Before long, as if the sea embraced all rivers, a lot of spiritual energy surged into Li Qiqi’s Dantian. At this moment, an unusual fragrance entered, sweet and fragrant, and the small worm that was devouring spiritual energy paused.
The pinhead-sized head moved as if sniffing something and followed the scent.
It followed and followed, as Mu Qiuniang opened Li Qiqi’s left shoulder, silently slicing the entire sleeve off with a small knife, revealing her fair skin, with a small dot vaguely visible moving.
From Li Qiqi’s left shoulder, it moved along her arm, past her elbow, and small forearm, it stopped as if hesitating at the wrist without moving forward.
Li Wei Qiao became anxious: It’s already at the door, why isn’t it moving? Hurry up and crawl!
Lai Qiuniang took out another elixir, this time, a Cultivating Cupworm Pill specifically for feeding the worms, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it into the cup.
The Cultivating Cupworm Pill was a pink color, and when sprinkled, it looked like a shower of pink flowers, quite beautiful.
Finally, the rice-sized creature moved again, appearing at the blood-red wound on Li Qiqi’s wrist, sniffing around with its tiny head.
Li Wei Qiao was so tense he was holding his breath, afraid this creature, despite finally coming out, might shrink back in.
At the same time, he was astonished, thinking this was too amazing. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this world really had Cupworms.
Moreover, someone had planted it in his sister’s body.
Even more unexpectedly, a desperate act with no other options actually saved his sister!
When the little creature dropped from Li Qiqi’s wrist into the cup and joyfully squirmed in the powder, Li Wei Qiao’s eyes reddened with joy as he said, "Is my sister cured?"
As he spoke, Mu Qiuniang cast an invisible white barrier around the cup to prevent the offspring of the Lover’s Spell from escaping. She nodded gently, "Hmm! She’ll be fine after some rest."
Saying so, she placed a Qi Nourishing Pill into Li Qiqi’s mouth. Though still with her eyes closed, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, making her appear much more comfortable.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Li Wei Qiao excitedly held Mu Qiuniang’s hands.
No sooner had he touched them when someone protested, "Thanks are in order, but you can’t take advantages of my wife!"
Jiang Nuo promptly snatched Mu Qiuniang’s hands from Li Wei Qiao and, as if wiping something dirty, cleaned them thoroughly and gave them a kiss.
Mu Qiuniang: "..."
Li Wei Qiao was stunned.
Mu Mingyu coughed lightly, "Mr. Li, don’t mind them. My cousin and his wife are a bit prone to jealousy."
Recalling how his own sister once described how her male idol was so stingy and jealous, yet without the scene just now, he might have thought she was exaggerating, but it turned out to be true.
Li Wei Qiao chuckled kindly, "Mr. Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang are famously loving. I’m sorry, I was just too excited to think straight."
"Hehehe... I can be generous about anything else, but when it comes to my wife, I just can’t be generous!" Jiang Nuo, thick-skinned, complimented himself, "A man should be like me. Bringing a wife home is for cherishing, spoiling, and possessing. If a man can’t do that, is he still a real man?"
"You’re right, Mr. Jiang. Before my sister had her incident, she spoke of wanting to find a good man like you someday and live a happy life like Sister-in-law Jiang."
"Your sister has good taste!" Jiang Nuo sincerely praised, "She should learn from my wife. My wife’s standards are exceptionally high. Among all the outstanding men around her, she only had eyes for me. Isn’t she the Fire Eye Crystal?"
"Certainly," Li Wei Qiao agreed.
With that agreement, it was like pressing a strange button, as Jiang Nuo continued his "self-praise," endlessly talking, without repeating once.
Even Mu Qiuniang felt her face warm from his thick-skinned self-praise, yet this guy continued without limit.
In the end, Li Wei Qiao was also a bit stunned.
Is this really the idol his sister admired, said to be exceptionally gentlemanly? Did he get the wrong person? But looking at Sister-in-law Jiang, it didn’t seem likely.
So it must be that Jiang Nuo is real, just he and his on-screen persona have quite a difference.
The elegant, princely figure from fairy tales turned directly into a tail-wagging Husky, practically the "self-destruction" of a male idol!
And yet, this male idol, exuding pure happiness, while being so down-to-earth, still makes people feel so warm.
Suddenly, Li Wei Qiao understood why his sister liked Jiang Nuo and his wife so much. They truly are a very happy couple!
"You two are really happy!" Li Wei Qiao remarked.
"Indeed, how could a good man like me not be happy? Besides, with my wife being so outstanding and loving me so much, if I’m still not happy, I’d be letting down all those who adore me. And, of course, my wife is also very happy because making her happy is my greatest happiness!"
At the end, Jiang Nuo showcased a bit of affection, feeding them a dogfood moment.
Mu Mingyu expressed: he had already grown from used to numb!
Li Wei Qiao: Is this the feeling his sister described about being force-fed dog food? His sister is still lying there, and Jiang Nuo doing this seems quite improper!
