Chapter 159: You Are My Best Doctor
One mocking remark after another made Zhong Xintong’s face flush alternately pale and green with anger.
“You, you all…” Zhong Xintong was so angry she couldn’t even finish a sentence.

After Jiang Ruanxi arrived at the back courtyard, before she even entered, she heard painful cries coming from inside the courtyard, “Ah.”
For some reason, hearing these painful cries, thinking of how Second Master had been helping her all this time, that man who hid his emotions so well, just how much pain must he be in to make such sounds.
Unknowingly, heartache showed in her eyes, and her steps involuntarily quickened.
“Madam, you’ve finally come. Now only Madam you can help relieve his pain.”
As soon as she appeared, she saw Nameless Daoist looking at her with a face full of delight.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Ruanxi looked at him in bewilderment.
Nameless Daoist didn’t care about the distinction between men and women, directly grabbing her wrist and pulling her along as he said, “Second Master has only seven days left until his twentieth birthday. If he doesn’t consummate with his destined person, he will die after his birthday passes.”
Jiang Ruanxi had heard Nameless Daoist mention it before, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Her body involuntarily stiffened.
Whether in her previous life or this one, because Lin Ningkun had never touched her after marrying her.
She was also very nervous.
After agreeing to marry Second Master, she had originally thought they would just be guests to each other, that they could mutually change their fates, but she had never thought about consummation.
After entering the room, she smelled a heavy medicinal scent, then saw a man lying on the bed, sweat beading on his forehead, his face full of pain.
But thinking about consummating with him, her heart still pounded, “Daoist Priest, is there really no other way?”
“Madam, the situation is critical now, there’s only one way. Please, for the sake of how Second Master has always helped you, save his life.” Nameless Daoist pleaded.
Second Master clearly also noticed Jiang Ruanxi’s presence. His face was deathly pale, sweat dripping from his forehead like beans.
“Se-Second Master.”
He tried to get up, but moments later fell heavily back down.
Jiang Ruanxi hurriedly went to support him.
But as soon as she got close, Second Master pushed her away, “Miss Jiang, you should leave.”
Jiang Ruanxi pursed her lips. Second Master looked in agony, “I’m already a dying man. Why should you sacrifice yourself?”
Jiang Ruanxi was no chaste and fierce woman. Second Master had saved her, and if this could save his life, she wasn’t unwilling to accept it.
She secretly made up her mind and said to Nameless Daoist behind her, “You go out first.”
Seeing this, Nameless Daoist knew she had agreed and left with a smile.
After he left, Jiang Ruanxi raised her fair slender fingers and began unfastening her own clothing.
Second Master wanted to stop her, but the pain left him without any strength.
As her clothing came off piece by piece.
Suddenly, Second Master called out, “Come here.”
Jiang Ruanxi trembled at the sound of his deep voice, meeting his scorching and aggressive gaze, her face unconsciously burning up.
Her feet felt as heavy as if filled with lead, unable to move.
Second Master, as if unable to wait, directly pulled her over.
The world spun, and she had already fallen into his embrace.
A strange yet familiar breath, carrying a hint of aggression—Jiang Ruanxi’s heart instantly tightened to the extreme.
“Second Master…” Shy and timid, not like refusal, more like invitation.
“Cough cough cough…”
With a violent cough from Second Master, he completely let go of Jiang Ruanxi.
“Are you alright? Or…” Jiang Ruanxi hesitated, with a look of facing death unflinchingly, “Or shall I serve Second Master?”
He said nothing, so Jiang Ruanxi thought it was acquiescence and once again loosened her belt, but Second Master grabbed her hand, “Do you want me to die even faster?”
Meeting his flushed face, Jiang Ruanxi was stunned, a bit unclear what he meant.
Second Master said seriously, “My body is at its weakest now. Doing bedroom matters would only accelerate my sudden death.”
Jiang Ruanxi was stunned, her face red, “Then why did Nameless Daoist talk about consummation?”
“He was just worried about my condition and wanted to treat a dead horse as a live one.”
“Ah?” Jiang Ruanxi had a realization, “Then since you’re so uncomfortable now, I should still go find a doctor for you.”
“No need. You are my best doctor.”
Before Jiang Ruanxi could understand, her head was held by Second Master, followed by a torrent of kisses.
The first time must have been out of necessity, even memory blurred, so this time it was a solid experience.
Besides the sensory shock, Jiang Ruanxi only felt her mind go completely blank…
When the gentle touch finally disappeared, Second Master awkwardly coughed once, “Actually, compared to consummation, I think mutual affection is more important.”
Jiang Ruanxi’s face was still red when Second Master’s voice came from above her head, “Miss Jiang, surely you’ve seen that people with Seven Killings Solitary Fate don’t live past their twentieth birthday.”
“Does Second Master want to go back on his word?” Jiang Ruanxi looked up at him with utter disbelief, “Was today’s meeting just to show me your miserable state, so I’d know better than to proceed?”
Second Master’s expression grew even more awkward, but Jiang Ruanxi had completely understood his intention.
She couldn’t say what she felt deep down—somewhat happy that he was so honest with her, but more so angry and unhappy.
Why did he think she couldn’t share both hardship and joy?
“No, Xi Xi, you misunderstood…”
“I thought after spending so much time together, Second Master already understood my thoughts well, but now it seems it’s not that Second Master doesn’t understand me, but that I don’t understand Second Master. Don’t worry, if consummating with you can change our fates, even without status I can do it.”
As Jiang Ruanxi spoke, there was an inexplicable anger, “This would repay Second Master’s kindness. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. How about that?”
“Xi Xi, you really misunderstood.” Second Master hurriedly explained.
At this point, Jiang Ruanxi didn’t believe it.
With things at this stage, she felt Second Master was still making excuses to refuse, meaning he truly didn’t want to marry her.
“Whether it’s a misunderstanding, your heart knows better than mine.” Jiang Ruanxi stood up, “Second Master, think it over yourself. If you really need me to consummate with you, I won’t refuse. As for marriage, please consider it carefully. If you’re truly unwilling, don’t force it.”
With that, Jiang Ruanxi left angrily.
When opening the door, Nameless Daoist was still at the doorway.
