"Hall Master?"
The burly man heard the words, and his raised fist stopped in mid-air. He turned to look at the beautiful woman.
Qin Chuan ignored the big guy and walked past him quickly, heading directly to the beautiful woman, reaching to take the little girl.
It was unclear if the woman held her too tightly or if her chest was very prominent, causing Qin Chuan's wrist to accidentally brush against her soft chest while taking the girl.
The beautiful woman instinctively frowned.
Thinking Qin Chuan was trying to take advantage.
However, just as she was about to react, she noticed Qin Chuan checking the little girl earnestly.
The beautiful woman had to temporarily dismiss the idea of causing trouble.
Meanwhile, after taking the little girl, Qin Chuan reached out to feel her pulse.
The burly man who had previously blocked him came over: "You said you were a clinical medicine student, but now you're using pulse diagnosis? You're clearly lying!"
"Who said those who study Western medicine can't know some Chinese medicine?"
Without turning, Qin Chuan replied, then laid the little girl flat on the ground and lifted the clothes on her stomach.
"Hall Master, this kid is just spouting nonsense; it's not worth the risk." The burly man couldn't help reminding the woman.
The beautiful woman looked up and glared at him.
The burly man immediately shut his mouth and stood obediently to the side.
After warning her subordinate, the beautiful woman refocused on Qin Chuan, her eyes suddenly flashing with cold light.
Qin Chuan seemed to sense something, glancing at her unintentionally and frowned slightly.
However, he didn't pay much attention, and proceeded to utilize the Nine Dragon Creation Skill, placing his palm on the girl's abdomen, gently pressing.
The immediate concern was to expel the toxins from the girl's body.
The area with the most severe accumulation of toxins was the girl's stomach.
Qin Chuan used the spiritual power in his body to envelop the food in her stomach, gradually pushing it up towards the esophagus.
"Ugh~~~"
Suddenly, the girl, who had been trembling all over, started retching, then her head tilted as she vomited a pile of food with the sour smell of stomach acid.
"Water!" Qin Chuan immediately asked.
The crowd panicked.
"Brother Xiaochuan, I have some." Ye Wenxi quickly brought over a half-drunk bottle of mineral water.
Qin Chuan didn't hesitate, taking the mineral water and pouring it into the girl's mouth.
Instantly, the girl coughed violently, the churn in her stomach intensified, almost expelling everything inside.
Qin Chuan supported her, patting her back while continuing to use the Nine Dragon Creation Skill to drive out the toxins accumulated in her meridians.
Soon, a layer of dense sweat covered the girl.
The toxins within her body were expelled along with these beads of sweat.
The girl's symptoms visibly alleviated; her body stopped trembling, and her complexion gradually returned to a rosy hue.
She even opened her eyes, glancing at the beautiful woman: "Mommy..."
"Hey, mommy's here, mommy's here..."
With this call, the beautiful woman couldn't help but burst into tears, instantly blurring her vision.
Phew!
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan also let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The rescue process seemed simple but was, in fact, quite complex.
Children's meridians are more fragile than adults', and any carelessness could cause spiritual power to break them.
Therefore, Qin Chuan needed to be extraordinarily cautious throughout.
Fortunately, the girl was saved.
"Once back, cook some porridge for her. Avoid greasy food for the next few days."
After saving her, Qin Chuan gave some instructions and proceeded to leave.
"Mr. Qin, please wait."
The beautiful woman suddenly spoke.
"It was nothing, really..."
Qin Chuan waved his hand, about to speak, but the beautiful woman interrupted: "What toxin was my daughter poisoned with?"
"Ah, well..."
Qin Chuan smacked his lips, thinking that the woman didn't seem to understand social etiquette.
However, he didn't care much and casually responded, "Lianji medicine, a toxin extracted from strychnine, with symptoms similar to epilepsy."
Qin Chuan had seen this in the batch of ancient texts sent by the old master Jiang.
"Lianji medicine?"
The beautiful woman furrowed her brows, then examined Qin Chuan, suddenly said: "Take them away!"
"Huh???"
Qin Chuan was momentarily stunned. What's happening? I just saved your daughter, and now you're turning against me?
This kind of turnaround is faster than flipping a book.
"Brother Qin..."
Ye Wenxi and Su Qian huddled together, trembling as they looked at the two fierce men.
Meanwhile, there was also a big man approaching Qin Chuan.
"Are you kidding me? This is biting the hand that feeds you?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but scold.
The beautiful woman showed no expression: "Once the situation is clarified and if it has nothing to do with you, I'll let you leave and offer you a generous reward. But before that, please come with me."
"Damn it!"
Qin Chuan cursed. He'd seen heartless people before, but never this heartless.
If he had known this, he wouldn't have bothered to step in.
"Get lost!"
Qin Chuan was getting angry, and he shouted furiously.
The big man saw this, his face darkened, and he reached out to grab Qin Chuan's shoulder.
Qin Chuan wasn't about to put up with that; he directly kicked the man's calf.
Sss!
The big man's face twisted, and with a thud, he knelt down.
The two men who were originally walking towards Ye Wenxi heard the commotion and immediately turned to attack Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan couldn't be bothered to waste words with them.
They took his kindness for granted, and without anger, they really thought he was a pushover.
Qin Chuan directly took action, using Dragon Subduing and Fuhu, he swiftly knocked the two men to the ground.
The beautiful woman saw this, her face fell, but she was not overly flustered.
"I've never seen someone so shameless. If it weren't for Brother Qin, your daughter would have already been dead," Ye Wenxi said angrily.
Su Qian, beside her, was observing the beautiful woman carefully, seemingly having discovered something, and gently tugged on Qin Chuan's sleeve.
Qin Chuan turned to glance at her, realizing Su Qian wanted to say something but wasn't convenient in this setting.
"Let's go," Qin Chuan nodded towards her.
Ye Wenxi still wanted to vent for Qin Chuan, but was pulled back by Su Qian.
As for the beautiful woman, she did not stop the three from leaving, her gaze only fixed on Qin Chuan as they went.
It wasn't until Qin Chuan disappeared at the edge of her vision that she slowly took out her phone and made a call: "What's the background of that Qin Chuan you told me to watch?"
On the other side, Su Qian found an excuse to get Ye Wenxi to leave, and shared her suspicion with Qin Chuan.
"Red Dragon Association's Tiger Hall?"
After listening to Su Qian's guess, Qin Chuan couldn't help but frown.
"I just heard them call that woman Hall Master. She might very well be Tiger Hall's Master, Meng Wantang," Su Qian said seriously.
Qin Chuan nodded; Su Qian's analysis had merit.
Shi Qing, that crazy woman, had called Tiger Hall's Hall Master right in front of him last time. He already knew then that Tiger Hall's Master was a woman.
Combining with Su Qian's analysis, today's woman was most likely Tiger Hall's Master.
"Damn it! Is there not a single normal person in Red Dragon Association?" Qin Chuan grumbled irritably.
With Meng Wantang stirring things up, Ye Wenxi and the others lost interest in shopping.
After dropping off Su Qian, Qin Chuan took Ye Wenxi back home.
Along the way, Ye Wenxi remained silent, seemingly still shaken by what had just happened.
Upon returning home, she walked silently into her room without even acknowledging her stepmother.
"Qin, what's up with Xixi?" the stepmother asked, worriedly looking at Qin Chuan.
"Aunt Mei, it's nothing. I'll give you a massage first."
Qin Chuan gave her a reassuring look and then habitually went into the bathroom to wash his hands.
When he came back out, the stepmother was already prepared and lay quietly on the bed.
Qin Chuan began to give her a massage as usual.
Even after half a month of massages, every time he saw his stepmother's body, he couldn't help but blush.
Similarly, the stepmother showed a shy, embarrassed look as well.
She wanted the treatment to end quickly, but also felt a slight reluctance.
During this period, she had become accustomed to Qin Chuan's massages, or perhaps you could call it affection.
Once this month is over, she wasn't sure if she could adjust to the change.
Sigh...
The stepmother sighed silently, involuntarily letting out a soft groan: "Hmm~~~"
Listening to the sound continuously ringing in his ears, Qin Chuan also felt somewhat flustered.
But neither of them expected that behind the door, a feminine figure stood at the doorway, eyes wide open, with one hand covering her mouth, her pretty face full of complex emotions...
