Ningguang and Keqing each had matters to attend to, so Lu Lin brought Ying and Paimon into the Serenitea Pot.
"Wow! This place is so magical and beautiful!" Paimon exclaimed the moment they entered, flying around excitedly like a child seeing the world for the first time.
Recently, Ganyu had fenced off a small yard around her little house and planted many flowers and herbs. The Serenitea Pot accelerated plant growth, so within days the area had become a flourishing sea of blossoms.
Ying also appreciated the tranquil, scenic atmosphere and said softly, "I didn't expect you to have such a peaceful haven."
[Ding! Random quest triggered: A Healer's Compassion]
Quest content: The guest brought by the host has severe injuries. Please treat them promptly.
Reward: 500,000 Mora, 100 points, 100 EXP, 1 random residency trait.
Severe injuries?
Lu Lin was startled. How had she been injured just by visiting the Adepti?
There was no time to dwell on it.
"You're injured, aren't you?" he asked directly.
"You know medicine?" Ying asked in surprise.
She was indeed injured.
Her battle with Tartaglia had not been easy. Though she won, he was still a Harbinger who had activated his Foul Legacy form. She had sustained serious internal damage.
But she had concealed it carefully — even Paimon didn't know.
Paimon gasped. "You're hurt? Why didn't you say anything?"
"It's nothing serious," Ying said, shaking her head.
"Even minor injuries should be treated properly. Otherwise, they may leave lasting damage. I know some medicine. Let me examine you."
"Yes! Don't ignore injuries!" Paimon insisted.
Ying hesitated slightly, then nodded. "Alright."
"Let's go inside. I need to check you properly."
He led her into the first-floor bedroom.
"Paimon, please wait outside. Treatment requires quiet."
"Okay! Call me if you need anything!"
Once alone, he gestured. "Lie down."
Ying hesitated.
The last time he had carried her, she had felt that strange warmth. If he treated her now, there would likely be close contact again…
But her injuries were more serious than she had admitted. Proper treatment was necessary.
She removed her boots and lay down.
Her slender legs were fully revealed. She turned her head slightly, a little shy.
Lu Lin, however, remained serious and focused.
Her internal injuries were worse than expected — but her unique constitution had begun slow self-repair.
"Who did this?" he asked sternly.
"Tartaglia tried to approach me in disguise. We fought. I won — his injuries were worse than mine," she said, a little proudly.
"He gets treated immediately and continues causing trouble, while you ignore your injuries? That harms your body. Next time, come to me immediately. Understood?"
"…Understood. I rushed back because the Adepti were angry and I didn't want things to escalate…"
Mid-sentence, she felt her dress loosen.
"Lu Lin, you—"
"Don't move. I can't treat you properly through clothing. I'll only loosen part of it."
Her dress was short in front, long in back. He unfastened the back and lifted the front slightly, revealing white safety shorts and her smooth abdomen.
The cool air made her skin prickle slightly.
He placed his hand gently over her navel.
"Ah!"
Warm energy flowed into her, spreading through her organs.
She felt warmth filling her body, soothing and comfortable.
Her abdomen had taken heavy impact. His method was straightforward — channeling large amounts of vitality to repair the damage.
Thanks to [Miraculous Healing Hands], he could afford such direct restoration.
After about fifteen minutes, her internal injuries were nearly healed.
But as [Miraculous Healing Hands] worked, so too did [Skilled Hands].
Continuous contact made Ying feel increasingly warm.
That strange sensation from before returned, building gradually in her lower abdomen.
Her breathing grew softer.
Her skin flushed faintly pink. Her legs shifted slightly.
Lu Lin noticed.
During treatment, he had remained focused and disciplined.
But now the healing was complete.
His hand moved a little more boldly, tracing along her skin.
Her tight dress couldn't stop his touch.
"Lu… Lu Lin, is it not done yet?" Her voice had grown soft and slightly alluring.
"You delayed treatment for too long. It's complicated," he replied seriously.
She felt mostly fine — but she wasn't a doctor.
His fingers continued circling her abdomen, occasionally brushing the fabric below.
The sensation intensified.
"Ah!"
At last, the golden-haired girl trembled violently.
