Chapter 48

Although prepared, Ren Qixiang’s body still trembled when Qin Xuan’s hand touched her lower abdomen.

A tingle instantly spread throughout her body, as if she had been electrocuted. The sensation was peculiar.

Was this how it felt to be touched by a man? So, a man’s hands were warm!

This wasn’t a big deal at all; in fact, it felt quite comfortable.

Qin Xuan, standing nearby, was completely unaware of Ren Qixiang’s messy thoughts.

At this moment, he was fully focused on examining the condition of her lower abdomen.

Fortunately, it was just a common imbalance of Yin and Yang, and not severe.

Within Ren Qixiang’s body, the Yang energy was clearly higher than the Yin energy.

A normal man had at least twice the Yang energy as a woman, and vice versa for women.

If the two energies were balanced, or if Yang energy exceeded Yin, the impact on the body would be immense.

This was why men and women needed to marry. Apart from procreation, an important reason was the harmonization of Yin and Yang.

This was Ren Qixiang’s current internal condition.

Due to years of martial arts practice without proper relaxation and guidance, coupled with her being twenty-five and never having been intimate with a man, the Yang energy within her had almost reached half of her body’s capacity, leading to her abnormal condition.

Qin Xuan channeled his Dragon power into his hands and massaged Ren Qixiang’s lower abdomen to help unblock it.

Ren Qixiang felt an unparalleled comfort in her lower abdomen. It was warm, and the previous bloating and pain were gone. This was the most comfortable her lower abdomen had felt in years.

After five minutes, Qin Xuan saw that it was about time. All of Ren Qixiang’s excess Yang energy had accumulated in her lower abdomen’s Dantian.

Qin Xuan took out a silver needle and inserted it into the Dantian acupoint.

The silver needle suddenly vibrated slightly. Gradually, the Yang energy stored in Ren Qixiang’s Dantian was all expelled from her body through the needle.

Once the silver needle stopped trembling, Qin Xuan knew that the excess Yang energy in Ren Qixiang’s body had been completely discharged.

He then removed the needle.

At the very moment he removed the needle, Ren Qixiang couldn’t hold it in any longer, and a loud noise escaped from her buttocks.

Qin Xuan’s brows suddenly furrowed. He quickly stood up and took two steps back.

Ren Qixiang wished she could find a hole to disappear into.

It was over; she had made an absolute fool of herself!

Why couldn’t she have held it in?

Actually, when Qin Xuan was massaging her abdomen earlier, she had wanted to release it, but fearing embarrassment, she had held it in.

She endured until she absolutely couldn’t anymore, and then it all came out at once.

Ren Qixiang was a woman who highly valued her reputation. To suffer such a great humiliation in front of someone else, especially a man, she felt utterly disgraced.

The room fell silent, and an awkward atmosphere descended.

Qin Xuan swallowed and suddenly said,

“Miss Ren, you… you’re not going to silence me, are you?”

Ren Qixiang’s face flushed. Not knowing how to answer, she quickly sat up and changed the subject,

“Um, what did you come to see me for?”

Qin Xuan also suddenly remembered the main reason for his visit and replied,

“You mentioned it and I almost forgot. I came to ask you about the Black Tiger Gang.”

“The Black Tiger Gang?” Ren Qixiang raised an eyebrow,

“Why are you asking about them? Did you get into trouble with them?”

Qin Xuan nodded and explained,

“It wasn’t me, but the last time Tantai was kidnapped by members of the Black Tiger Gang…”

When Tantai was rescued last time, the other party mentioned the Black Tiger Gang and a martial arts master at the early stage of Xiantian. This made Qin Xuan take it seriously.

The early stage of Xiantian was beyond ordinary human capabilities, capable of exerting thousands of pounds of force with a single hand and releasing internal energy.

Qin Xuan had severed one of that Xiantian martial artist’s arms last time, and Qin Xuan worried that the Black Tiger Gang might seek revenge.

He wasn’t afraid of revenge himself. Even Wu Guan, the mid-stage Xiantian expert beside Dan Ben De, was no match for Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan was worried about Tantai.

After all, Qin Xuan had offended quite a few people: Jin Shikai, and Li Shengtian from last time, and now this Black Tiger Gang.

No matter how powerful Qin Xuan was, he couldn’t be in multiple places at once to protect Tantai Yue.

Ren Qixiang frowned upon hearing this and said,

“Petty thievery like this is common in the Black Tiger Gang. Their boss, Hei Biao, is also not a good person. In Jiangbei, among the largest underground powers, besides my Qi Xiang Society, there is the Black Tiger Gang and the Sky Fire Society.”

“Although the Qi Xiang Society is nominally the leading power in Jiangbei’s underground world, the Black Tiger Gang and the Sky Fire Society are not inferior in strength to the Qi Xiang Society.”

Qin Xuan roughly understood.

It was essentially a “Three Kingdoms” situation, with Ren Qixiang akin to Cao Wei, and the other two being Shu Han and Sun Wu.

“Then what is the strength of their martial artists? I encountered a Xiantian martial artist last time.” Qin Xuan asked again.

However, Qin Xuan did not mention that he had severely injured that martial artist.

Currently, no one knew Qin Xuan’s true strength, nor did he want them to. This way, when people investigated him, it might instill a sliver of apprehension.

Ren Qixiang took a sip of water and continued,

“The Black Tiger Gang… I recall they have three, no, four. Hei Biao is also one. I’m not sure about the others. Hei Biao used to cause trouble at my establishment, and I’ve fought him. He should be at the Great Perfection of Houtian.”

“As for the Sky Fire Society, they don’t seem to have any martial artists. I’m not entirely sure about the specifics…”

“Then how can they be on par with the Qi Xiang Society and the Black Tiger Gang?” Qin Xuan asked, puzzled.

“What are you rushing for? I haven’t finished speaking!” Ren Qixiang rolled her eyes charmingly and continued,

“The reason they’re called the Sky Fire Society is because they possess over a dozen firearms! Their leader is a descendant of the royal family from the feudal era, and her grandfather commanded the firearm corps back then, so he left her over a dozen firearms.”

“The leader of the Sky Fire Society is a woman?”

Ren Qixiang blinked,

“Yes, why?”

“Nothing.”

Of the three major powers in Jiangbei, two of them had female leaders.

If this were to be known…

“What do you plan to do?” Ren Qixiang asked.

Qin Xuan shook his head,

“I don’t know.”

Although Qin Xuan possessed the Dragon Core and had strength beyond that of ordinary people.

He also knew that he was still just one person, and he hadn’t fully grown yet. He only had four dragon scales left on his back. Last time, a handgun had nearly cost him his life.

Ren Qixiang thought for a moment, then leaned closer to Qin Xuan and said,

“I can help you, at least protect your wife. But you have to agree to one condition.”

“Alright, I agree.” Qin Xuan agreed without a second thought.

This surprised Ren Qixiang slightly.

“You agreed without even asking what the condition was?”

Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head,

“Tantai is my everything. As long as she is safe, I am willing to give my life. Moreover, you said you would help me, so no matter what condition you propose, I will agree.”

While Ren Qixiang was surprised, she also felt a touch of envy for Tantai Yue.

To have a man willing to risk his life for her safety, were there truly such men in this world?
