Chapter 216 Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow
The next morning, Ling Fan looked at the soft, glowing body beside him and thought about last night's madness, carefully tucking in the blanket for Li Mengying.
At the same time, he thought about how the number of women around him kept growing, and he swore to himself that he absolutely couldn't let this happen again.
He carefully lifted the blanket to get out of bed but froze in shock when he saw the bright red stain beneath him. Ling Fan turned to look at Li Mengying, who was still deep in slumber, not expecting her to still be untouched.
Remembering his roughness from the night before, he couldn't help but feel guilty, wondering how she had borne it.
He slid back under the covers carefully, and Li Mengying happened to open her sleepy eyes, locking gazes with Ling Fan as they both recalled the events of the previous night.
Her face immediately turned rosy, and she said shyly, "Ling... Young Master Ling!"
Ling Fan laughed, feigning anger, "What's with Young Master Ling? From now on, you can call me by my name or husband!"
Li Mengying nodded, feeling a mix of embarrassment and joy, as if she was in a dream!
In her secret glee, she found Ling Fan nearing again, "Husband, you....."
"Hehe, there's still plenty of time, let's have a morning treat!" Ling Fan chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Li Mengying was shocked, panic-stricken, as she still felt pain down there.
"Don't worry, it won't be like last night. This time I'll make sure you enjoy it!" Ling Fan said as he pressed on top of her.
An hour later...
Li Mengying was wrapped in the blanket, feeling as if her whole body was floating, as if she could fly, certainly a different sensation from last night!
"Hehe, you shouldn't get out of bed today, just rest well!" Ling Fan got out of bed, dressed, and advised her gently.
Li Mengying said shyly, "No, if they find out, they'll laugh at me!"
Ling Fan smiled wryly, "As you wish, as long as you're able to get up!"
As soon as Li Mengying tried to turn over, she let out a cry of surprise. Not only was there a slight ache in her lower abdomen, but her legs were so weak she couldn't move at all.
She instantly understood what Ling Fan meant and felt troubled. What was she to do?
"Everyone's been through it, no one will laugh at you. Just rest well!" Ling Fan consoled her.
Just then, Yun Fei knocked and came in.
Li Mengying cried out softly and buried her head in the blanket. Seeing Yun Fei enter, Ling Fan immediately said, "You ladies chat, I'm going to change Yao Yue's dressing."
"Yao Yue is hurt?" Yun Fei asked in surprise.
"Oh, it's an old wound. I've treated her again; she just needs a change of dressings today," Ling Fan explained and then went to Yao Yue's room.
Watching Ling Fan leave, Yun Fei reached to pull Li Mengying out from under the covers, "Come on out, what are you shy about? How did it feel last night, was it unbearable, you were so loud. I could hear you from the next room, get up!"
Li Mengying, with her head still covered, let out a feeble voice, "I can't get up, I can't move!"
Yun Fei widened her eyes, knowing from last night's noises that it wasn't gentle, it was wild. But just thinking about Ling Fan's terrifying endurance made her heart shudder.
If it hadn't been for Li Mengying taking her place, she might have been the one unable to get up today, understanding all too well what it felt like to be immobilized!
With a light laugh, she consoled, "Then don't get up just yet, I'll bring your breakfast in later!"

Throughout the morning, Ling Fan changed Yao Yue's dressing, and after everyone had breakfast, An Xixue and her sister An Xiyao planned to return to the company. They felt a bit restrained here since technically they were his subordinates.
In the living room, Ling Fan discussed with Yun Fei, "After this time, I reckon no one in the circle will dare target us again, but to be honest, meddling in showbiz doesn't really matter. If the company needs other positions to be filled and they are willing to change careers, we can give them a chance, depending on what they want!"
The two sisters' hearts stirred upon hearing this, as they had been pondering this question themselves, but they had no other options available.
Besides being pretty and singing and dancing, they felt they had no particular talents, which had been a source of frustration for them.
Now that Ling Fan was willing to offer them an opportunity, it seemed like a stroke of good fortune, and they promptly thanked him repeatedly.
Just then, Yao Yue suddenly spoke up, "You two are so beautiful, but if you have no real skills to back you up, sooner or later you'll fall victim to some dark hand. Being attractive but unable to protect yourselves makes vulnerability a sin. Better to take me as your master!"
By now, Yao Yue had changed into normal clothing and looked like an older sister-next-door.
When Yao Yue made this offer, Ling Fan was astonished; he hadn't expected Yao Yue to consider taking the two as disciples.
Yun Fei was also shocked. With Yao Yue's terrifying skills that she had witnessed firsthand, wouldn't An Xixue and An Xiyao become assassins?
"Cough cough, if you two can defeat her as your master, I guess no one would dare to bully you again!" Ling Fan joked.
The sisters were not yet aware of Yao Yue's identity and abilities, as Li Mengying hadn't mentioned it yesterday, but they understood that anyone accompanying Ling Fan couldn't be simple.
The sisters deeply related to the saying that weakness was the original sin, as they would have already been toyed with by others if it weren't for Tian Yun's protection.
Especially this time, the danger had been too great; if not for Ling Fan's timely arrival, the outcome would have been unimaginable.
Without hesitation, the two knelt and kowtowed to Yao Yue, their desire for strength, and to be as formidable as Ling Fan was intense, "Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"
Ling Fan grimaced from the side, "Yao Yue, are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Yao Yue countered.
Well, it seemed Yao Yue was serious, so he immediately brought over two cups of tea and said to the sisters, "Offer a cup of tea to your master, even discipleship should have its formality!"
The sisters took the cups, knelt down, and offered the tea, while Yao Yue, without any pretense, accepted the cups and took a sip.
"Stand up. If you betray me after joining my fold, you'll follow but one path to death. Understand?" Yao Yue warned as she scanned the two.
The sisters knelt again, "Master, rest assured, if we ever have a traitorous heart, may we be condemned by heaven and earth!"
"Mhm, stand up. Since you've taken me as your master, I must give you a gift," Yao Yue said, turning her head towards Ling Fan.
"Beiming, later on you help them with Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow. There's no need for you to pass on the Cultivation Technique; I'll teach them!"
Ling Fan, "...."
It seemed it was he who was taking the disciples after all. He forced a smile and said, "Sure!"
He had been planning to assist Yun Fei and Li Mengying with Foundation Establishment later on, so it was a convenient time. For him, it was merely a trivial favor.
Without another word, he took out four teacups, placing a Green Medicine Pill in each and dissolving them with water, immediately releasing a pleasant fragrance into the air.
"Here, each of you take a cup and drink this tea!" Ling Fan said to the two sisters.
They picked up the cups, excited and nervous, and drank the contents in one gulp.
They immediately felt a refreshing coolness penetrate their hearts and spleen, like Jade Dew Nectar, reaching every limb, making them feel incredibly comfortable!
Suddenly, their bodies emitted a popping sound, like frying beans, and their originally lustrous skin released a layer of black substance, emitting bursts of foul odor.
"Go take a bath. This is the bodily impurity expelled from Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow. Your cultivation journey hereafter should encounter fewer detours!" Yao Yue alerted the panic-stricken sisters.
Hearing this, they nodded repeatedly and rushed to take a shower, feeling as light as a swallow, as if they could leap three meters high.
Watching the sisters leave, Ling Fan picked up the remaining two cups and said to Yun Fei, "Come on, let's go to the room and do Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow for you and Xiao Ying."
