Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 646: Xiaojun, am I useless?

The next morning, in Chen Xiaojun's room.

Xixi sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Chen Xiaojun's profile intently, her face full of concern.

Zhu Wuneng and Su Ningxia stood beside the bed, their eyes fixed on Chen Xiaojun.

At this time, Liu Ruyan walked in gently, holding a row of thin silver needles in her hand, her eyes focused and calm.

She walked to the bed, leaned over slightly, and began to carefully give acupuncture to Chen Xiaojun's body.

Her fingers were deft and steady, and each insertion of the needle was accurate. The Yuanling Water and Fire Needles produced some kind of wonderful resonance with Chen Xiaojun's body.

"The young master doesn't have any serious injuries, but his pulse is erratic and still a little weak. As long as he recuperates for a while, he should be fine." Liu Ruyan said softly, her voice soft and warm, giving people a sense of security.

Chen Xiaojun slowly opened his eyes and spoke gently: "Sister Ruyan, your family's Burning Mountain Fire Needle Method is really well-deserved. I feel that my meridians have become much warmer."

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly and shook her head modestly: "Master, you are too kind. These acupuncture techniques are the only ones my family can show off. The main one is Senior Shi Qing from the Fengweihua Zhu family, who is good at replenishing qi and restoring the essence."

Chen Xiaojun shook his head. "No need to belittle yourself. The Zhu family is good at replenishing Qi and restoring health, and your Liu family is good at regulating meridians. We each have our own strengths and complement each other."

He sighed softly: "It's a pity that I can only 'tonify' and not 'drain' now, otherwise I might be able to see Sister Ruyan's sky-clearing cooling needle method."

Liu Ruyan was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true, Master."

"Your meridians are unstable now. Maybe in a day or two, a meridian will be blocked somewhere. At that time, you may need me to use the Tou Tian Liang Needle Method to clear it."

Hearing this, Xixi, Zhu Wuneng and Su Ningxia all looked at Chen Xiaojun at the same time.

"That's great, I'll get to see Sister Ruyan's skills later."

Chen Xiaojun's expression suddenly became solemn. He turned around quickly and his eyes moved between the three people.

He raised his eyebrows and spoke with concern, "Xixi, Wuneng, Ningxia, you fought against the two Soul Emperors in the previous battle. Did you feel any discomfort in your body? Let Sister Ruyan check you carefully."

The three of them looked at each other, then shook their heads gently, indicating that nothing was wrong.

However, Chen Xiaojun's eyes were still fixed on Wu Neng, with a hint of teasing on his lips: "No, at least little Wu Neng is so fat, his stomach must be very blocked, with a lot of things piled up, and he needs to relieve it."

Zhu Wuneng scratched his head, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and he said helplessly: "Master, I am actually just... a representative of the slightly plump world..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Ningxia had already covered her mouth and chuckled, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed.

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly, turned to Ningxia, and said softly: "Ningxia, you suffered some minor injuries in the competition before, and your meridians were damaged. Later, you fought continuously. Although Xiaoyi helped you restore some vitality, it is not a targeted treatment after all."

He turned to Xixi and said, "Xixi, you are facing the Soul Emperor and the Soul Saint head-on, so the pressure and impact you have endured must be considerable. Sister Ruyan is here, so she can give you a detailed inspection to ensure that there are no hidden dangers."

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan no longer refused. She walked up to the three people and began to examine their bodies and give them acupuncture treatment one by one.

After the examination, Liu Ruyan said softly, "They are fine. They just need to rest for a few days and avoid strenuous exercise, and they will be back to normal."

After hearing this, Zhu Wuneng patted his chest proudly and said, "See, Master, I told you I'm fine. You're just worrying too much."

Chen Xiaojun smiled and patted his shoulder: "Fat people do have good luck, but we can't take it lightly."

"..." Zhu Wuneng smiled helplessly and said no more.

Liu Ruyan's eyes swept over Xixi who was silent beside her.

So, she said softly: "Master, I still have some things to deal with, so I will leave first."

Chen Xiaojun nodded in thanks: "Sister Ruyan, you have worked so hard today."

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "This is what I should do."

After saying that, she pulled Zhu Wuneng and Su Ningxia out of the room, leaving Chen Xiaojun and Xixi alone.

She knew that Xixi had something to say to Chen Xiaojun.

As they walked further and further away, Chen Xiaojun's gaze gradually focused on Xixi, who looked a little dazed beside him.

He frowned slightly, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly approached Xixi and asked gently: "Xixi, what's wrong with you today? It's not like you to be so quiet."

Xixi's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her eyelids, and her voice trembled: "Xiaojun, am I really useless?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled calmly when he saw this. He gently patted Xixi's shoulder and comforted her, "Why are you so sad?"

Xixi suddenly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She hugged Chen Xiaojun tightly and said with a sob, "Xiaoyi, she can compete with Soul Saints and Soul Emperors by herself, and even suppress them. In the end, she successfully killed four high-level soul masters."

"And I, I can't help at all..."

Chen Xiaojun's heart was touched by Xixi's eyes filled with tears and her pitiful look. He subconsciously reached out his hand and wanted to touch Xixi's soft hair, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

He said gently: "You are the little princess in our hearts, the Xixi who always holds her head high and is full of confidence. Crying is not your style. Tears will blur your beauty and dim the light of your pride."

When Xixi heard Chen Xiaojun's words, her tears gradually stopped. She raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

She forced a smile and pouted as she retorted, "I'm not a tsundere, you're the tsundere one. How can you comfort me like that?"

Chen Xiaojun gently helped Xixi wipe away the tears from her eyes. He explained seriously and tenderly, "Xixi, Xiaoyi is facing a control-type Soul Saint and a spiritual-type Soul Emperor. Both of these opponents are good at long-range attacks, and Xiaoyi happens to be good at long-range combat, so in the end, we can only compete in soul power."

"Don't underestimate Xiaoyi because she can suppress them. It's actually because she has a large amount of soul power. Although the quality is slightly inferior, she can make up for it with quantity."

“So I guess that although Xiaoyi has the Dharma Body to constantly replenish her soul power, she only had a little soul power left at that time. If she fights for a while longer, she will be exhausted.”

Chen Xiaojun paused and continued, "Xiaoyi is most afraid of high-level soul masters of the strong attack system, so I chose to lure away the Blood Scythe Soul Saint."

"And you, when facing offensive spirit masters, are always able to withstand their fierce attacks. You have done very well in this regard. Don't underestimate yourself."

"Xixi, you are amazing. Your courage and tenacity are indispensable to everyone."

When Xixi heard this, there was still a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. She lowered her head and stammered, "But I still can't help."

"This time, you were injured during the last beast tide. You were always panicked and uneasy at the critical moment, and it was Xiaoyi who cleaned up the situation and turned the tide."
