Chapter 913
Take Responsibility
It was still a couple more hours before the sun would rise over the horizon. The corridors of the hospital were silent and void of people. Although the hospital was huge and well-staffed, no one generally entered this part of the hospital unless they had to.
Yang Chen was on the hunt for a certain someone. Wasnât her calf injured? Her tendons were spared from the injury but that didnât mean she should be running around in the dark.
As he wandered down the corridor, a loud crash resonated from the bathroom in the VIP section.
âAhh!â rang a familiar feminine voice.
Oh, sheâs using the washroom, Yang Chen thought.
It sounded as if something had hit the ground! Yang Chen quickly rushed over the bathroom door and opened it.
âWhat are you doing this late at nightâŠâ
A loud shriek interrupted him.
âAh! Donât look!â
Yang Chen was greeted with a pair of soft and slender legs. He stared for a second before noticing that she was bare from the waist down.
The only thing that covered the ladyâs upper-body was a cream-colored camisole bra. Her chest was full and on display for him.
Xiao Zhiqingâs lower body was sprawled over the tile floor ungracefully. What had happened was an obvious guess.
Xiao Zhiqing placed her hands in front of her private part in a sad attempt to salvage her remaining pride.
Unfortunately, it did nothing for her as the bareness left nothing to the imagination. Her breasts were squeezed by her arms, making them pour out of her already tight camisole!
What a devil⊠He bit back a groan as he gulped.
âHey⊠I told you to look away!â
Her face flushed red with embarrassment. Yang Chenâs audible gulp did nothing to help the situation.
Yang Chen flashed back to a month ago in L.A, to the very afternoon they spent together entangled in bed.
Seeing her pale skin and plump flesh, he couldnât help but be reminded of her flexibility in bed.
A grin pulled at Yang Chenâs lips. âWhat do you think youâre doing with such a posture? Are you trying to seduce me?â
âThatâs not it!â denied Xiao Zhiqing frantically. âI was just here to wash up a little before going back to sleep. Iâm going to scream for help if you donât leave!â
Yang Chen tilted his head in confusion. âHelp? Why would you scream for help? Have you forgotten that you told me to take responsibility for you?â
âWell⊠thatâs becauseâŠâ stuttered the lady. She felt her face heat up from the intense gaze he had on her. Her courage was slowly slipping by the minute.
Yang Chen sighed softly. She might have been cruel but she was still a young, inexperienced soul. Her walls were built to mask her pain.
When she seduced him back then, everything was evidently well-planned for she was composed. But when tossed into a compromising situation, her true colors started to bleed out from inside.
If it wasnât for Yang Chen who deemed the girl still capable of kindness, there was no way she would still be breathing right now. He had chosen the path of forgiveness.
With that, Yang Chen approached Xiao Zhiqing slowly.
Xiao Zhiqing moved her body back involuntarily, but the sudden motion had pulled her injured calf muscle.
âMmphâŠâ
She groaned and turned pale.
Although she had planned her crash deliberately, the injuries that she sustained were still real.
âDonât⊠come any closer!â
Beads of cold sweat began to form between her dark hair. She was panicking heavily at this point.
Yang Chen said nothing as he kneeled to her level to put his palms on her waist to pull her up.
It all happened so fast that Xiao Zhiqing was unable to deliver a response. Her soft body was now placed on Yang Chenâs shoulder blade.
âAh! What are you doing?! Put me down!â
She whined as she squirmed around but was ultimately only able to do just that.
Smack!
Yang Chen landed a loud spank on her bare bottom. It didnât take long for a pink palm mark to develop on her pale buttocks.
âYouâŠâ
How dare he spank me?! My butt is almost as swollen as that time in America!
âWhat? You shouldâve called for a nurse! What if you slip again and injure yourself?â scolded Yang Chen.
âThatâs none of your business! Put me down!â There was no way Xiao Zhiqing would admit her shyness. She did not want someone supervising her toilet usages.
Yang Chen feigned ignorance and walked back to her room after grabbing a towel on the way.
âYou better stay still. Youâre still naked from the waist down. If youâre planning on seducing me into doing something else, I wonât hesitate to spread your legs,â laughed Yang Chen.
Xiao Zhiqing shut her eyes tightly. She chose to become limp and stay completely still.
Just as she expected Yang Chen to place her on the bed, she found herself lying horizontally in his lap. The man sat on the edge of her bed instead.
Xiao Zhiqing panicked, quickly shutting her legs tightly. Her buttocks were tensed up and all she wanted was to dig a hole and hide forever!
âCome on, thereâs nothing to be shy about. Iâve seen every inch of your body.â
Xiao Zhiqing gritted her teeth and retorted, âHmph, Iâve seen your body too!â
âNice, Weâre even. Thatâs why Iâm not getting anything out of this.â
âYouâŠâ Xiao Zhiqing was so overwhelmed with anger that she was starting to feel light-headed. If she wasnât afraid of angering Yang Chen, she wouldâve bitten his thigh!
Xiao Zhiqing found herself questioning his motives. Why was he so ruthless even when she was injured? Was it because she had come in between his marriage and this was his idea of revenge?â
As she spiralled deeper, she felt something soft on her thighs. Yang Chen was wiping her down.
He wasnât all that gentle but it was simple enough to absorb whatever remaining water there was on her body.
Her eyes widened at the realization. She thought,Is this real? Is he really cleaning me up?
After he was done with her legs, he moved on to wipe between her toes. Her toes were soft and pudgy, enticing him to pinch it a little.
She moaned.
The stimulation of the act caused her to close her eyes and get lost in the pleasure.
That caught Yang Chen by surprise. âAh, I didnât know your toes were so sensitive. Too bad I donât have a foot fetish.â
âThatâs⊠none of⊠your⊠concernâŠâ panted the lady.
Seeing her reduced to a mess brought a smile to his face. âWhere are your panties? Or do you go commando?â
âYou pervert!â yelled Xiao Zhiqing. She huffed before pointing at a door. âTheyâre behind the door.â
Yang Chen nodded, placing her on the bed before he walked over to retrieve a pair of white laced underwear. âQuick, put them back on so I can treat your leg.â He tossed it to her.
She glanced down to the article briefly, making a small hum of acknowledgment.
Covering herself with her blanket, she quickly put on her panties. âAre you really going to treat me?â She pouted from beneath the cover.
âOf course.â Yang Chen peeled the blanket away, placing her leg on his thigh.
Her calf was littered with large angry bruises from the car crash.
âImpressive. I canât believe you got injured from faking a crash. You should treat yourself better,â said Yang Chen. It didnât sound like sarcasm nor a compliment.
Xiao Zhiqing looked away. âWell, itâs no big deal. Iâve been tortured with countless poisons in my body for more than a decadeâ
Yang Chen huffed, gently placing his palm over her bruise.
The Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture was converted into the Heaven and Earth Restoration Energy, which allowed amplified healing.
The muscle and skin injury XIao Zhiqing sustained would probably require half a month to recover, but the energy had quickly patched her up.
Xiao Zhiqing was surprised to see her bruises and cuts disappear in a few minutes. Her eyes went wide with astonishment and she started gawking at him. All in all, it was extremely adorable.
Yang Chen released her leg from his lap after he was done. âHere, give it a feel and tell me if thereâs anything wrong with it.â
Xiao Zhiqing obediently stood up on the mattress and took a few cautious steps before giving him an affirmative nod. âYeah, itâs good as new. What cultivation method do you practise? How come Iâve never heard of any skill with such powers,â commented Zhiqing.
âYou were even able to suppress my Nine Yin Meridian. It doesnât make sense for such a good cultivation method to go unnoticed, unless youâre a descendant of some ancient immortal?â
Yang Chen was taken aback by the remark. He did not expect her to know about the ancient immortals. He only got to know their presence during his recent journey to the Tang Sect.
âThatâs impossibleâŠâ muttered Xiao Zhiqing in a volume only audible to herself. âIf you really were their descendent, you wouldnât have gotten married with a regular person nor gotten a jobâŠâ
Yang Chen furrowed his brows. Could Xiao Zhiqing be from an elusive clan? How was that even possible? She possessed virtually no cultivation and had a body full of toxins. There was no way she could have been from one.
Xiao Zhiqing paid no mind to Yang Chenâs internal turmoil. âYang Chen⊠can I ask you something?â requested Zhiqing meekly.
Yang Chen broke out into laughter. âYouâve asked so many to the point where youâve started to answer them yourself.â
Embarrassed, Xiao Zhiqing smiled. Her eyes filled with complexity, she asked, âDonât you⊠hate me?â
