"Bella was injured when she was a child. It never healed properly. Every year, it flares up and causes her unbearable pain."
"Young Master Quinn, please help her," Princess Tiffany pleaded.
Bella Bai also bowed deeply to Quinn.
"Please save me, Young Master."
Quinn rubbed his chin.
Treating an illness?
That damn System did teach him medical skills.
But Quinn had never actually used them on anyone. He had no idea if they were reliable.
But now, they were begging him right at his doorstep.
Refusing would seem heartless.
"Fine. I can try."
"But I don't guarantee a cure," Quinn added cautiously.
Tiffany and Bella were overjoyed.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
In their eyes, as long as this Expert was willing to act, there shouldn't be any problem.
The others also perked up. They were all curious to see how a "Hidden Expert" healed people.
"Tell me the details. What exactly is this hidden injury?" Quinn asked.
"When I was six, I wandered into the deep mountains and was bitten by something unknown. A cold energy invaded my bones and damaged my internal organs," Bella recalled her painful past.
"Although I sought many doctors, it never healed. Every year, when autumn turns to winter, the cold energy flares up for two days."
"Later, after I joined the Nine Soul Sect, my Master examined me. He said there are still poisonous insects living inside my body, but even he couldn't force them out."
Lance Xu, standing nearby, was surprised.
"Even Gary Gongsun couldn't do anything?"
Bella nodded. "My Master was helpless."
Lance looked thoughtful.
No wonder she came here with Tiffany to see Quinn Ye.
If even Gary couldn't fix it, then in the entire Heavenly Martial Empire, only this mysterious Expert might have a chance.
"Cold energy in the body?"
Quinn thought for a moment.
Got it!
Isn't it just cold dampness?
Cupping Therapy should fix that easily!
Coincidentally, he had a cupping set.
He immediately went inside and brought out a wooden box.
"Uh, it's not convenient to do it out here. Why don't you come inside with me?" Quinn said to Bella.
Bella froze. "We can't do it outside?"
Quinn scratched his head.
"We could, but my treatment method requires you to take off your top and expose your entire back. So..."
Hearing this, Bella's face turned bright red.
The others also exchanged weird looks.
This treatment method... sounds a bit sketchy.
Is this a proper medical technique?
Quinn, fearing a misunderstanding, quickly explained with a straight face.
"This method is called Fire Cupping. You've probably never seen it before. It requires the patient to remove their upper garments to expose the back completely, so the fire cups can cover the skin."
"If you don't take off your shirt, it won't work."
He was telling Bella: If you want to be cured, cooperate. If you're shy, then forget it.
Tiffany gently pulled Bella's sleeve.
"Just try it. Maybe the Expert really can cure you."
Bella bit her lip.
"Young Master Quinn... let's go inside."
That sentence sounded weirdly suggestive too.
Quinn almost let his mind wander, but he quickly reined it in. He picked up the wooden box and walked toward the house.
Bella followed him inside.
"Young Master, can I come in and watch?"
Tiffany suddenly thought, I'm a woman too. It should be fine if I watch, right?
"Sure," Quinn's voice came from inside.
Tiffany entered the room.
"Dad, I want to see too!" Serena Xu was dying of curiosity.
"Go ahead. But do not disturb the Expert," Lance warned.
"I know!"
Serena happily skipped into the room.
As for the men, they naturally had to wait outside.
Inside the room.
Quinn unfolded a reclining chair. It was just big enough for one person to lie down.
"Take off your top and lie on this chair on your stomach," Quinn instructed seriously.
Bella bit her lip, feeling awkward.
She was a lady, after all. Taking off her shirt in front of a strange man was incredibly embarrassing.
"Take it... all off?" Bella asked shyly.
"Yes. Leave nothing on."
Quinn nodded.
At the same time, he muttered internally: I'm not trying to take advantage of you. Cupping really requires skin contact.
"Then... please turn around, Young Master," Bella's voice trembled slightly.
"Oh."
Quinn turned around.
Welp. Can't see anything now.
Seeing Quinn turn his back, Bella slowly began to undress.
One layer. Two layers...
Soon.
Her fair, snow-white body was revealed.
Tiffany and Serena stared, their eyes wide.
Especially Serena.
She stared at Bella's chest, then looked down at her own flat chest.
Why are hers so big?
Although Tiffany was Bella's best friend, she had never seen Bella like this before. Seeing it now, she felt a pang of jealousy.
Being stared at by two women made Bella blush furiously. she quickly lay down on the chair.
"Young Master... I'm ready."
"Okay."
Quinn turned around.
And his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
HOLY.
CRAP.
SO.
BIG!
Quinn felt a bit lightheaded. Fortunately, having seen much of the "world" in his previous life, he recovered quickly after a brief daze.
He opened the wooden box and took out several bamboo cups.
Quinn lit a candle. He picked up a bamboo cup and briefly heated the inside over the flame to create a vacuum.
"Miss Bella, we are starting now."
Before the words even landed, Quinn stuck the bamboo cup onto Bella's back.
Pop.
"Mmm..."
Bella let out a soft moan.
She felt a burning sensation on her back.
It wasn't painful, but the sensation of her skin being sucked up was new and terrifying. It made her nervous.
Pop. Pop. Pop.
Soon, eight bamboo cups were suctioned onto Bella's back.
Tiffany and Serena watched, dumbfounded.
What kind of medical technique is this?
This is unheard of!
"Alright. Wait for half an hour, then we can take them off."
Quinn wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Not because he was tired.
But because he was trying to control himself.
Having such a stunning beauty lying half-naked in front of him while he had to focus on medical treatment...
This was a test of willpower that no ordinary man could endure.
"Is it that simple?" Tiffany asked blankly.
"Just that simple."
Half an hour later.
Quinn removed the bamboo cups.
Pop. Pop.
Eight dark, circular purple bruises appeared on Bella's back. They looked hideous and terrifying.
Serena and Tiffany frowned. It looked a bit disgusting.
Quinn examined the cups.
"There really are poisonous insects!"
"What?"
The three of them froze and looked closer.
Quinn used a bamboo stick to scrape the inside of the cup.
Sure enough, several dead, silvery-white insects fell out.
