Chapter 402: Let My Lady Accompany You
The old man was over seventy years old. Although he had a sharp face and a thin, withered body, his eyes contained a glimmer of intelligence, making him seem far from ordinary.
"Old sir, no need for pleasantries. Let me ask you first, did your Young Lady ever fall into a Sewage Pool when she was young during a snowy day?" Xiao Yun inquired.
The old man replied, "Sir, you are truly remarkable. Yes, there was an occasion when she slipped into a Sewage Pool on her way home from school..."
"That's right," Xiao Yun interrupted before the old man could finish. "The Sewage Pool was toxic, and combined with the bone-chilling cold, the poison entered your Young Lady's body and settled in her marrow. It has remained hidden until it began to manifest in recent years. Your Young Lady has been unable to endure the torment of her illness and has fallen into a semi-mad state, resorting to self-harm with sticks to alleviate her suffering."
After hearing Xiao Yun's explanation, the old man became increasingly respectful towards him.
In his mind, Xiao Yun was not only an expert but also a divine being sent by heaven to help cure his daughter.
Even Long Yan felt a mysterious aura emanating from Xiao Yun.
The old man asked, "Sir, may I ask what method can be used to cure my daughter's illness?"
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said, "Bone Painting and Bone Replacement!"
Bone Painting and Bone Replacement?
It seemed like the old man was hearing about Bone Painting and Bone Replacement for the first time.
Can painted Bones replace those in the human body?
Seeing the old man's puzzled expression, Xiao Yun didn't want to elaborate further.
Some things cannot be explained clearly; no matter how detailed your explanation is, it will only sound like a legend from mythology to others.
The most convincing evidence is still based on strength.
Soon, Xiao Yun had the old man lead him to Miss Branch's bedroom.
In a Japanese person's bedroom, high-legged beds are rarely seen; they generally sleep on Tatami.
In fact, Tatami originated from our Huaxia during the Han Dynasty and developed and flourished during the Sui-Tang period. Later, it spread to places like Japan and Korea during the Golden Age, where it became particularly popular in Japan.
At this moment, Miss Branch was quietly sleeping on the Tatami, covered with layers of thin blankets, with Azure Silks scattered messily by her pillow.
Perhaps those two stunning women had already groomed Miss Branch; under the bright lights, upon closer inspection, she lay there like a sleeping beauty, indeed giving off a stunning impression.
Although covered with a blanket, it could not conceal the beautiful curves of her lively figure.
Under Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense, he found that Miss Branch's bones were only injured by toxic gas and were not severely harmed. As long as he painted a Skeletal Diagram over her body, he could force the invading toxins out.
He approached Miss Branch's side and carefully removed a nail from her fingertip. Then he took out various tools for drawing bones from a nearby table as if performing a magic trick.
Next, with a swift stroke, Xiao Yun created a perfect human Skeletal Diagram on paper.
The old man and Long Yan stood by, their four eyes fixed on Xiao Yun's every move. Not to mention how lifelike the beauty's Skeletal Diagram was; just how those tools appeared left them both dumbfounded.
It was simply impossible to call it magic.
As they watched in amazement, Xiao Yun lifted the thin blanket covering Miss Branch and placed the drawing on her back. He then extended his hands and gently rubbed up and down on the drawing, followed by a series of touches, kneads, and strokes before retracting the drawing.
When those beside him looked again, the paper was already blank.
Uh, where did the Skeletal Diagram go?
Before the old man could curiously ask, Xiao Yun said, "Alright, the bones drawn on the paper are now inside the young lady. Just let her rest for a while, and she'll be fine!"
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, the old man could hardly believe his ears.
Has there ever been a method like this to treat someone since ancient times?
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, the old man hoped that a miracle would truly happen.
"Come, serve tea to our esteemed guests!" the old man called out as he entered the living room.
Before long, two women emerged from behind a screen to serve tea to Xiao Yun and Long Yan.
Japanese people enjoy drinking tea and place great importance on the tea ceremony, which is also a tradition passed down from Huaxia. The so-called tea ceremony is simply about the effort put into "tasting."
Drinking tea is about savoring it.
And savoring tea involves appreciating not just the tea itself but also the heart of the person.
As soon as one cup of tea was finished, a woman rushed to the old man's side, her head bowed but unable to hide the joy on her face. She said, "Sir, the young lady has woken up. She says all her pain has completely disappeared!"
"Ah, this... Quickly, let Miss Branch come out to meet her savior!" the old man exclaimed with delight.
Moments later, Miss Branch appeared in splendid attire. Under the old man's introduction, she bowed gracefully to Xiao Yun and softly said, "Branch pays her respects to her benefactor!"
"Miss Branch, you are too polite. It was just a small effort on my part; no need for thanks!" Xiao Yun replied with a calm smile.
What does it mean to be an extraordinary person?
In the old man's eyes, Xiao Yun was truly an exceptional individual.
After receiving Miss Branch's bow, he showed no signs of excitement, his expression calm and unruffled, making it hard for others to believe that such a minor ailment was even worth mentioning.
Huaxia has produced exceptional individuals since ancient times, and now the old man finally had his eyes opened.
The old man nodded to himself and turned to a woman beside him, asking, "Is the food ready?"
"Yes, sir, everything is prepared!"
"Good," the old man said with a beaming smile to Xiao Yun and Long Yan, "Gentlemen and Miss, let's have our meal!"
Xiao Yun's stomach had already started to growl, so he didn't want to be polite and immediately nodded in agreement.
Upon entering the dining room, Xiao Yun noticed that the table was filled with dishes favored by Huaxia people, which suited his taste perfectly.
In addition to the food, there was naturally wine as well.
Only three people were dining at the table: Xiao Yun, Long Yan, and the old man.
During the meal, they introduced themselves briefly.
Xiao Yun mentioned that he was visiting Japan and referred to Long Yan as his colleague and a younger sister of a different surname.
The old man introduced himself as Winter Melon Lazy Person and stated that he owned a company in Tokyo.
It was surprising that there was someone with the surname Winter Melon Lazy Person in Japan.
Even more astonishing was that his name meant "Lazy Person."
Upon hearing that Xiao Yun and Long Yan were newcomers to Tokyo and had not yet found accommodation, Winter Melon Lazy Person eagerly said, "Mr. Xiao, how about this? I have plenty of space here. If you two don't mind, you can stay with me. What do you think?"
Xiao Yun replied with a smile, "Mr. Winter Melon, such hospitality! We would be honored to accept!"
"Mr. Xiao is indeed a straightforward person!" With Xiao Yun's agreement, Winter Melon Lazy Person appeared very pleased.
After the meal, Winter Melon Lazy Person learned that Xiao Yun and Long Yan were not in a romantic relationship and arranged separate rooms for them.
It must be said that in Tokyo, where every inch of land is precious, the residence of the Winter Melon Lazy Person is surprisingly spacious, with seven bedrooms alone.
Xiao Yun couldn't understand why the Winter Melon Lazy Person had so many rooms when he wasn't running a hotel.
Lying on the tatami, Xiao Yun thought that this family was quite strange. While he had seen many girls coming in and out of the house, during mealtime, only the Winter Melon Lazy Person kept him company. Where did the others go?
Just as he was pondering this, someone knocked on the door.
Xiao Yun got up to open it and saw the Winter Melon Lazy Person standing outside, bowing and smiling ingratiatingly. "Mr. Xiao, it's late and lonely for travelers outside. I would like to invite my wife to keep you company for the night. I hope Mr. Xiao will graciously accept!"
Uh, what did he just say?
He wants his wife to sleep with me?
This Island Nation Person was surprisingly generous, willing to sacrifice his own woman to accompany a stranger. Xiao Yun had never heard of such a thing before.
He was momentarily stunned.
