Beauty and the Bodyguard
chapter-957

Who Told You That?

At that thought, he subconsciously channeled his qi to check it, but he didn’t feel anything wrong when he finished. However, that was exactly why he was concerned! Because, when he treated the needles last time, nothing was wrong with the qi!

“It’s nothing, aren’t you Miracle Doctor Zhao Yao Wang?” Lin Yi smiled coldly. “You’re quite the big shot these days on the internet, so I’m sure you have a way.”

“This… Is this the same as the qi needles you used on Li Dilei?” Yaowang said in horror.

“Oh, something like that. But I did make some adjustments, so not really. “Lin Yi said. “Don’t you realize that all the needles are on your nerves this time?”

“I…” Yao Wang’s face was in even more horror. “What will happen?”

“Not much, I put my qi into sealing your nerves, so if you don’t pull them out nothing will happen.” Lin Yi smiled. “Although, you can pull them out if you want.”

“What’ll happen if I pull them out?” Yao Wang’s face was dark. “Didn’t you lose your strength? Why would you have qi?”

“Why are you as dumb as Qibin? You are in the same team as him, thinking you know everything!” Lin Yi curled his lips. “May I ask, just who exactly told you that I lost my abilities?”

“Uh…” Yao Wang didn’t hear from anybody. He was the one who made the deduction!

“If you do pull the needle, then the qi inside you will explode.” Lin Yi said exaggeratedly. “Then your nerves will be torn into shreds, causing you to lose a big chunk of your strength. By the time you pull all of them out, you’ll cripple all your nerves, and then—congratulations! You’ll get to train to be a physical practitioner!”

Lin Yi had only come up with this evil move only after his nerves were completely damaged. He had to use eviler methods for men like Yao Wang.

“Impossible!” Yao Wang was very serious at this point. “Liar, you’ve lost all your strength, all these needles are just here to scare me! You don’t have any qi, I can’t feel any qi coming from your body!”

“Ha, naturally, since I’m stronger than you.” Lin Yi said. This guy wasn’t him, after all, and regular spiritual practitioners could only feel the enemy’s strength when they channeled their qi. Or, if one was a lot stronger than the opponent, they would also be able to see. Otherwise, people with a secret move or item like Lin Yi would be able to skip levels and look at everybody’s qi.

“Bullshit! You have no qi!” Yao Wang was convinced that Lin Yi had lost all his power, and so he didn’t believe the words.

“Fine then. Pull some out and check.” Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

“I’ll pull them then, you think I won’t?” With that, he reached for the needle on his chest but stopped right when he touched it. He decided to move his hand to his left leg instead.

Lin Yi smiled and didn’t say anything. Yao Wang was cockily saying that he wasn’t afraid but still didn’t reach for the chest needle. After all, the main nerve was near the chest! Breaking that nerve would probably drop his strength right from mystic to golden!

The left leg, however, was a lot less important. The qi stored there was a lot less, and so when the nerve exploded he’d be unable to use qi there. For someone like Yao Wang, who didn’t fight, it didn’t matter.

Yao Wang pulled the needle out, and his eyes went wide! There was a loud bang, and he felt as if his left leg was bursting into pieces! They were getting destroyed by Lin Yi’s massive qi!

With a cry of pain, he almost fell to the ground!

Yao Wang’s face contorted from pain to horror! He looked at Lin Yi, the sweat beads on his face dripping!

“Impossible… Impossible, how come you still can use qi?” Yao Wang felt so bitter! What was with this Lin Yi, was he putting on a sheepskin? Why would he not use his strength in the parking lo when he still had it? He thought Lin Yi was a cripple!

At that moment, both Qibin and Cihua were stunned as well. What was this, why has Lin Yi not lost his strength? In other words, Li Yi was as strong as he was before?

Fuck! Remembering all the cocky shit he had just said to Lin Yi, he really wanted to slap himself! What was wrong with him, spouting off nonsense like that? With what he knew of Lin Yi’s temper, he was fucked!

“I’m still pretty confused. Who told you that I was a cripple? Who made the claim? Or did you just fantasize about it?” Lin Yi looked at Yao Wang, mockingly.

Yao Wang’s face darkened. Did he fantasize about that? He spoke bitterly. “You still have your strength—why didn’t you use your qi in the parking lot?”

“Using qi on some bandits?” Lin Yi shook his head. “And, the qi is mine, if I want to use it I’ll use it, why are you butting in any way?”

“…” Yao Wang was speechless. Lin Yi was right—the qi was his. If he didn’t want to use it why was that his business? But he still asked a question. “Then, when I went to Chu Pengzh- Chairman Chu… to cause trouble, why didn’t you stop me?”

“Alright, fine, I did pretend to lose my strength so I could see who my enemies were, and step on them.” Lin Yi shrugged, ‘admitting’ it.

“Fuck!” Yao Wang couldn’t take it anymore, he’d been played for a fool! Finding his enemies, so he could step back on, that was him! But it was his own fault, who could he blame? Yao Wang felt a wave of sadness wash over…

“Then these needles… What do I do?” Yao Wang smiled bitterly.

“You’re pretty smart yourself, aren’t you? You can try refining my qi, or maybe wait until the nerve is broken before repairing it.” Right, I forgot to tell you. I’m pretty good at recovering broken nerves, so if they’re all broken you can come to me!”

“You… You can repair broken nerves?” Yao Wang looked at Lin Yi in shock.

“Yeah, it’s pretty easy. Mine got broken quite a few times, but look at me, still here and healthy.” Lin Yi said sympathetically. “If you can’t fix it though then you’re just not good enough a doctor! Looks like one can’t believe the rumors too much.”
