Chapter 31 Acupuncture for Jiang Xingman

When Mu Xiwan mentioned this, she took out three talismans from her bag and handed them to Jiang Xingman.

“Mom, Dad, Big Brother, these are the talismans I drew. You can use them first. I will buy some jade later and carve talismans for you.”

“Alright, alright, you don’t need to buy jade. Leave that to your big brother. But Wanwan, don’t overwork yourself too much, okay?” Jiang Xingman carefully placed the talismans Mu Xiwan handed her, while gently instructing. Her eyes were full of love and tenderness, wanting to pour all her love on this daughter she had just reunited with.

Upon hearing Jiang Xingman’s advice, Mu Xiwan couldn’t help but feel warm inside. From childhood to adulthood, it seemed like no one had cared for her like this before.

Mu Xiwan looked at Jiang Xingman and suppressed the touch in her heart, looking at Jiang Xingman and saying softly, “Mom, I just took your pulse, and all your symptoms are due to long-term emotional congestion. Would you like me to diagnose and treat you?”

At this point, Jiang Xingman had no objection. She smiled and nodded, “But Wanwan, won’t you be too tired?”

Looking at Jiang Xingman, who was always afraid of tiring herself, Mu Xiwan smiled and said, “No! How about we go to your bedroom?”

In this situation, Jiang Xingman needed acupuncture, but the acupuncture Mu Xiwan performed was different from traditional Chinese medicine. Mu Xiwan’s acupuncture required her own spiritual power to clear Jiang Xingman’s meridians with silver needles.

Affectionately holding Mu Xiwan’s hand, Jiang Xingman walked towards the bedroom on the second floor. She held her daughter’s soft and tender hand, feeling excited inside. Her daughter had returned, and she couldn’t believe that she could hold her daughter’s hand now.

And her daughter would help her with acupuncture and treatment, everything felt surreal, giving her an unreal feeling.

At that moment, Jiang Xingman thought that next time she had a gathering with her girlfriends, she must bring Wanwan along. Whose child is so sensible, intelligent, and capable like her Wanwan?

The more Jiang Xingman thought about it, the more excited she became. Her lips couldn’t help but curve upwards, her eyes shining with a happiness called bliss.

Sensitive Mu Xiwan seemed to sense Jiang Xingman’s joy. Her lips also curved slightly, her eyes filled with a smile.

Once in the bedroom, Mu Xiwan took out silver needles from her bag. The silver needles had been disinfected. After Jiang Xingman lay down on the bed, Mu Xiwan began the acupuncture.

Mu Xiwan had practiced acupuncture countless times, but this was the first time she was actually treating someone. And the person being treated was her own mother, so Mu Xiwan felt a slight nervousness inside.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and fully immerse herself in the acupuncture.

Jiang Xingman, who had been watching Mu Xiwan all along, suddenly realized that the Wanwan who had been a bit nervous just now seemed to have transformed into a different person.

Calm, composed, with a confident light in her eyes. This was her daughter, who hadn’t grown up by her side but had still grown up so remarkably.

Jiang Xingman was filled with pride and joy, marveling at how her daughter had turned out. Meanwhile, Mu Xiwan, pinpointing the acupoints, prepared to use her spiritual power to guide the silver needles along Jiang Xingman’s meridians.

As the silver needle descended, Jiang Xingman distinctly felt a warm flow spreading slowly along the path where Mu Xiwan had guided the silver needle.

This sensation made Jiang Xingman very comfortable. It seemed like she hadn’t felt this way in a long time, making her want to sleep for a while. However, she couldn’t bear to doze off after just reuniting with her daughter. So Jiang Xingman resisted the drowsiness and refocused her attention on Mu Xiwan, who was earnestly needling her at that moment.

When she noticed a slight sweat on Mu Xiwan’s nose, Jiang Xingman felt a pang of heartache, wanting Mu Xiwan to stop. But she was afraid of disturbing Mu Xiwan by speaking up and causing any harm, so she watched Mu Xiwan with some concern.

At this moment, Mu Xiwan, because it was her first time using spiritual power for acupuncture, felt a bit bitter in her heart, thinking that she had overestimated herself.

She thought it would be an easy acupuncture session that she could handle effortlessly. However, her spiritual power was still too weak, so after the acupuncture session, Mu Xiwan felt a slight sense of fatigue.

Fortunately, the acupuncture session was short, or she might not have been able to endure it. Mu Xiwan gritted her teeth, persevering to accurately insert the last silver needle into the acupoint. Beads of sweat covered her forehead, her face a bit pale, but her eyes still shimmered with a firm light.

After placing all the needles, Mu Xiwan started thinking about ways to earn more merit in the future, so she wouldn’t have to worry about her spiritual power.

But earning merit required using mystical arts to help others. Mu Xiwan pondered how to let more people know about her and seek her out.

Noticing Mu Xiwan lost in thought, Jiang Xingman asked with concern, “Wanwan, what’s wrong? Are you tired?” Her voice was full of worry and heartache.

Jiang Xingman’s words interrupted Mu Xiwan’s thoughts. Looking at Jiang Xingman, who was looking at her with concern, Mu Xiwan said softly, “Mom, no, I’m fine. I was just thinking about things. How are you feeling now? Any discomfort?”

Jiang Xingman shook her head quickly and said, “Wanwan, I feel so good right now. I haven’t felt this relaxed and comfortable in years.”

Upon hearing Jiang Xingman’s words, Mu Xiwan smiled and said, “You didn’t have any serious problems to begin with. After today’s acupuncture, I’ll give you a sleep talisman to alleviate your insomnia. Once you’re fully recovered, you won’t have insomnia anymore.”

“Really? That’s great, Wanwan! You don’t know how unbearable it is to stay up all night!” Jiang Xingman said, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She hadn’t slept well for a long time. When her daughter was first lost, her mind would be plagued with various negative scenarios. She worried about her daughter not eating well, not dressing warmly, if she would be too hot in summer, or too cold in winter. Year after year of torment brought her to the brink of collapse.

Thankfully, things were slowly getting better. Her… her daughter had finally returned!

After helping Jiang Xingman remove the needles, Mu Xiwan said softly, “You can get down now and try.”

As she spoke, she helped Jiang Xingman tidy her clothes and gently helped her sit up from the bed.

Jiang Xingman carefully felt her body. Although the warm flow in her body had disappeared with the removal of the needles, she still felt very relaxed and comfortable.

“Wanwan, it’s truly amazing. I feel so much lighter and more comfortable now. Wanwan, you’re incredible!”

“That’s good. I’ll help you with acupuncture every day. It won’t take long before you’re completely healed,” Mu Xiwan said, her fatigue vanishing instantly as she saw Jiang Xingman’s happy expression.

Mu Xiwan then walked downstairs with Jiang Xingman.

Downstairs, Mu Hongtao and Mu Jingchen, who had been waiting, were surprised to find that Jiang Xingman’s complexion was much better than before she went upstairs.
