Chapter 16: Ah Qing’s Strange Constitution

“Silly girl, practicing martial arts doesn’t mean you won’t have time to cook,” Jiang Che reassured Ah Qing. “Moreover, training in martial arts can make your body more flexible and to some extent, even preserve your youth.”

“Really?” Ah Qing blinked her large eyes in disbelief.

“Of course, it’s true. Why would I lie to you?” Jiang Che said with a light chuckle.

“Then I’ll train! I want to learn martial arts to protect you in the future!” Ah Qing declared earnestly. Her world was small, confined only to her young master.

“You’re such a good girl,” Jiang Che affectionately patted Ah Qing’s head, appreciating having a thoughtful and obedient maid by his side. “Take this,” he said, handing her the Marrow Cleansing Pill from his system space.

“What’s this?” Ah Qing asked curiously, looking at the pill, the size of a longan, shining golden in her hand.

“This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. It will remove impurities from your body, enhance your aptitude, and make your martial arts training more effective. Eat it.”

“Okay~” Without hesitation, Ah Qing swallowed the pill.

“Young master, it’s itchy~” Almost immediately after swallowing the pill, Ah Qing felt an itching sensation all over her body, unstoppable – the pill was enhancing her constitution.

“You should go to the bathroom…” Jiang Che suggested, suddenly remembering the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

“Why the bathroom?” Ah Qing asked, puzzled.

Jiang Che didn’t explain further but simply handed her a mirror. Looking at her reflection, Ah Qing let out a yelp and rushed into the bathroom.

An hour later, Ah Qing came out of the bathroom in fresh clothes, her face flushed with embarrassment. She never expected to have such an awkward moment in front of Jiang Che.

“The pill seems effective,” Jiang Che noted, seeing Ah Qing looking more radiant than before, her skin visibly fairer. “Here is the ‘Azure Dust Technique.’ Let me start teaching you how to cultivate it…”

Handing the technique to Ah Qing, Jiang Che began to instruct her in cultivation. The system had transferred not only the cultivation levels but also all the insights and understandings to him, as if he had experienced the cultivation himself.

“Focus and calm your mind, empty your thoughts…” Jiang Che started guiding Ah Qing through the initial steps.

“Young master, I think I can feel the ‘Qi’ you mentioned!” Three hours later, Ah Qing opened her eyes, smiling joyfully at Jiang Che.

“Good, you’re quite talented,” Jiang Che praised generously.

“Hehe, thank you for the compliment, young master~” Ah Qing’s smile grew brighter, cherishing every word of praise from Jiang Che.

“You’ve got the basics of the cultivation technique. Just follow the method outlined in it from now on.”

“Okay, young master~” Ah Qing responded eagerly.

“Oh no, the food has gone cold. I’ll go and heat it up for you,” she suddenly realized, quickly rushing into the kitchen.

“Ah Qing, come with me for a moment,” Jiang Che said after finishing his meal, watching Ah Qing clean up. He then headed upstairs.

“Young master, what is it?” Ah Qing followed Jiang Che to his bedroom, looking puzzled.

“Nothing serious, I just noticed something special about your constitution while you were training.”

“My constitution? What about it?”

“Your body tends to be cold. I happen to know some techniques that can help with that.”

“Cold constitution? How do you treat it?”

“Just sit on my bed… and take off your shoes.”

“Oh… Ah?” Ah Qing paused, slightly baffled but then obediently sat on the edge of the bed and removed her shoes, revealing her feet wrapped in white stockings.

Jiang Che took a deep breath and approached the bed, beginning to apply his knowledge of blood circulation and stasis removal techniques to help dispel the coldness from Ah Qing’s body.

“Young master, it tickles~” Ah Qing blushed, whispering in a voice as fine as a mosquito’s.

“Bear with it a bit longer; it’s the cold being expelled from your body. It’ll be over soon.”

“That’s enough for today. The cold has been in your body for too long; it can’t be expelled overnight. We’ll need several more sessions,” Jiang Che said after a while, withdrawing his hands.

Looking at the shy and blushing girl, he felt a mix of emotions. He hadn’t expected Ah Qing to have such a unique constitution, realizing he would have to treat her many times—perhaps a hundred or eighty times—to fully cure her.

“I have some things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving. Rest a bit longer,” Jiang Che said, patting Ah Qing’s head gently before leaving the room.

“Why does the young master have such a hobby…” Ah Qing muttered to herself, blushing as she looked at her slightly wrinkled white stockings after Jiang Che left.
