Chapter 519: Smoke and Shadow, A Glance Unveils Beauty

wn her bare upper body, tracing along her perfect eight-pack abs and sliding into the white towel at her waist...Mu Xing stared at the man, swallowed nervously, then immediately burrowed under the cov...This was the first time her uncle had asked about her experiences, and there was nothing she felt she needed to hide from him.

Mu Xing slowly replied, "Yan Fei was originally founded by Qian Fei. Later, I met Qian Fei by chance, and she invited me to join. After that, she changed the name of the organization to 'Yan Fei'."

And I changed my name to avoid... my master. A year ago, I escaped from Wuyou Island. I was afraid he would find me and bring me back, so I changed my name and surname. As for why I'm called Gu Yan...

At this point, she paused, her gaze fixed on the man before her. Light seemed to enter her eyes, twinkling like stars, "Because of you."

"Me"

Fu Lingxiao's brow furrowed slightly, his expression a hint of confusion.

Mu Xing gazed deeply at his breathtakingly handsome face, her thoughts traveling through time back to a year ago, to that midnight encounter on the cruise ship.

"Actually, I saw you a year ago, on a cruise ship. Late at night, you were standing on the nineteenth deck smoking. When I was creating my new identity information, I suddenly remembered your image smoking, so I chose this name."

Smoke and shadow veiled in gauze, a glance startles the soul.

For a whole year after that, he appeared in her dreams, again and again.

After Mu Xing finished speaking, the man suddenly fell silent, staring at her with an unreadable expression. His dark eyes were swirling with ink.

She just wanted to ask him what was wrong, when the hand on her waist suddenly tightened. She was caught off guard and fell against the man's solid chest. His strong arms held her tightly.

He held her so tightly she could barely breathe, "What is it, little uncle"

Fu Lingxiao silently held Mu Xing in his arms. After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Xing'er, do you know That night, I also felt your presence, but I thought it was just an illusion."

He buried his face deep into her neck, hiding the pain in his eyes. "If I could have seen it back then, or if I could have realized it wasn't a hallucination, we wouldn't have wasted a year."

This time last year, he wasn't terminally ill.

He wouldn't resist her, wouldn't push her away, wouldn't waste time in self-struggle.

Not to mention that I'm now counting down the days until we part, and in every fleeting breath, I pour out my love for her against my will.

But, there is no if...

Missing it is missing it, not just for a year, but for their entire lives.

Mu Xing keenly sensed her uncle's sadness. She gently patted his back with her small hand and softly comforted him, "During the year I was gone, I was working hard to grow up. As soon as I became a better me, I immediately returned to your side. So Uncle, you have to believe that everything is for the best."

Reunion is, separation, it is also...

……

After dinner, Mu Xing began preparing the medicated bath needed for traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

All the way through, hands-on and personally responsible. The final decision determines the restoration level, leaving no room for error.

After simmering the medicine bath, Mu Xing carried it upstairs and filled the bathtub. When the temperature cooled a bit, she brought the Chinese medicine to Fu Lingxiao and had him drink it down. Then she helped him take off his clothes and lie down in the bathtub.

She brought over a pink stool and sat down, starting to massage his head. She instructed him, "Uncle, this acupuncture session, I'll apply more pressure than the last two times. If it hurts too much, tell me right away, and absolutely don't move, understand"

Fu Lingxiao raised his hand and pinched Mu Xing's cheek, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of pain."

Uncle wasn't afraid of pain, he just had a high tolerance for it.

Mu Xing endured the pain, bowing her head and gently kissing Fu Lingxiao's thin lips, "You're amazing, early reward for you."

Hearing this, it sounded like something you'd say to a child...

Fu Lingxiao looked at Mu Xing, raised his lips and smiled lightly, "Baby, kiss me again, wishing my eyes a full recovery."

Mu Xing indulged in lowering her head, and landed another kiss on the man's lips. Just as she was about to raise her head, the man suddenly raised his hand, covering her back of the head with his palm and pressing down.

"Ugh..."

Two lips suddenly pressed together.

Their positions were opposite, Mu Xing's gaze was occupied by the man's Adam's apple.

His prominent Adam's apple, with each deep kiss he gave, slowly rolled up and down, a sensual sight beyond description...

Mu Xing stared for a long while before suddenly reacting. She reached out and lightly pushed the man's shoulder with her hand, signaling him to let go.

With matters at hand, Fu Lingxiao also knew when to stop.

Mu Xing sat up straight, looking at him reproachfully, "How can you be so careless Acupuncture is about to begin, your state must remain stable."

Fu Lingxiao pursed his crimson thin lips, "My state is very stable."

He was indeed calm, his breathing steady. It was her, however, who was flustered, her cheeks flushed and heart racing at the sight of his Adam's apple. What a... lack of composure!

Mùxīng let out a soft sigh in her heart, exhaled, and adjusted her state, "Alright, let's begin."

She held a silver needle, slowly inserting it into Fu Lingxiao's brain acupoints.

With every jab of the needle, Fu Lingxiao's hands gripping the edge of the bathtub tightened, his forehead bulging with veins and beads of sweat appearing on his skin. His muscles tensed, creating sharp lines across his body, yet he remained completely still.

Mu Xing saw it with her own eyes. This time, one of the acupoints used would amplify pain a hundredfold. She knew how much pain Little Uncle was in, the feeling was no less than being skinned and boned. But she couldn't stop.

If you stop now, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

The acupuncture session lasted a full five hours. By the end, Fu Lingxiao was drained and lay listlessly in the bathtub with his eyes closed, his usually handsome face as pale as paper.

Mu Xing drained the medicinal bath from the tub and draped a towel over him, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. "Little Uncle, open your eyes and look at me."

Fu Lingxiao paused for a moment, slowly opening his eyes. After a while of cloud-shrouded haze, the overhead lights, the flower shower, the wall... the objects around him gradually came into focus.

He couldn't wait to turn his head to look at Mu Xing. At this moment, she was squatting by the bathtub, her brows slightly furrowed, staring at him without blinking.

Her porcelain-like complexion was as delicate as a painting, and her captivating eyes sparkled like rippling water under the light.

Her complexion was like snow, her lips like red. She was stunningly beautiful.

It turns out that his star, was actually thousands and millions of times more beautiful than what he saw through his blurred vision.

Mu Xingjian saw the man staring at her and asked, "Little Uncle, can you see clearly"

"Yes."

It was crystal clear; he even saw his own reflection in her eyes.

Mu Xing was very confident in her medical skills, but hearing the man's affirmative answer, she still breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle, you need to rest well now. I'll carry you to bed and sleep."

Fu Lingxiao:：“……”

In Xing'er's eyes, had he already become helpless and dependent

He took her outstretched hand, a wicked smirk playing on his lips, "Baby, doing that, I can't help but want to prove myself to you."

"What are you proving"

Mu Xing didn't react for a moment.

The man grabbed her hand and suddenly pulled with all his might. The next second, she was dragged into the bathtub, landing completely on top of him.

He clasped her slender waist with both hands and lifted her up, pinching her delicate chin, his dark eyes fixed on hers. "Baby," he murmured, "What do you think I want to prove Hmm"

Here comes the masterfully capable, fully-leveled, adorable little sweetheart of Lord Fu who fights with extreme ferocity.rushed against her ear, whispering softly like lovers entwining.Warm breath, like a gentle breeze, like impending rain, like a feather drifting lightly, brushed past her ear, yet inexplicably made her...
