Possessed by the Fire (Additional update, cheating for red envelope votes)

  Xiao Cong Rong finally couldn't resist the temptation of that needle technique, and because it was raining the next day, he had dinner in his own room. After finishing dinner and cleaning up with Xiang Lan, she suddenly had an idea and said to Xiang Lan: "I'm a bit uncomfortable, I'll go to sleep first, you guys go rest too!"

  Xiao gave Lany a strange look and then pretended to be in pain by rubbing his forehead with his hand.

  Xiang Lan said: "Have you caught a cold? Then I'll make some ginger soup for the young lady, and she'll be fine after drinking it and taking a nap!"

  "Thank you!" Xiao Zongrong watched her leave, a faint smile on his face. He didn't expect that one bottle of medicine would have such an effect, it was really unexpected! Unfortunately, Xiang Lan was too cold, usually not answering when asked, and he didn't know how to move her to make her his own person.

  Jiang brought a bowl of ginger soup to Xiao Zhen, who drank it and fell asleep before closing the door and leaving. As soon as Jiang left, Xiao Zhen immediately took out the Tian Xin stone and massaged her acupoints with it before starting to sew.

  The room was a bit dark, but fortunately she had already been familiar with the various acupoints, and even if she closed her eyes, she could still accurately hit them. It was raining outside, and even if there were any unusual noises, Lan would probably not notice, which is why she chose today to try out the needle.

  The acupuncture techniques in the medical book had long been memorized, and Xiao was eager to try them out, but there was also a hint of fear - what if he accidentally caused a disaster?

  In the world of martial arts, when a practitioner becomes obsessed with their training, they may lose their mind. If she loses her mind, will she forget who she is? And subsequently, forget Chu Qingxiao!

  If he were to see her again, she would no longer recognize him; would he be heartbroken?

  Xiao Congrong hesitated for a moment. For a set of unknown acupuncture methods, if he lost his rationality, wouldn't that be a loss?

  I've already promised to marry Qing Kuang, shouldn't I also tell him about it? But if I do, without a doubt, Chu Qing Kuang will definitely not agree. That domineering man would rather support her for the rest of his life than take such a risk!

  Xiao Zongrong was torn, on one hand the temptation to stand up, on the other hand the fear of the unknown, and also the lingering attachment to Chu Qing.

  She just realized that she had unknowingly let that man into her heart. When did it change from not caring to caring, and now to missing him?

  She was lost in thought, suddenly remembering what Chu Qingcang had said: "Marry me, you may not have a good life, I can no longer give you fine clothes and food, nor can I send you jewelry and accessories, would you be willing to marry someone like me?"

  What was she thinking at that time? Xiao Zong remembered his thoughts clearly: I don't want you to give me fine clothes and food, nor do I need you to send me jewelry and accessories. As long as we are of one mind, there is nothing we can't achieve!

  She chose him as her partner because she valued his intelligence, and the advantages of Chu Ji. Now that they don't have Chu Ji anymore, what's the big deal? With their combined intelligence, she thought at the time that even taking over the world wouldn't be a problem!

  At this thought, Xiao Zongrong suddenly became spirited and heroic. What she wanted was not for him to take care of her for a lifetime, but to be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him and gaze out at the world!

  What else is there to be nostalgic about? This risk must be taken, and if successful, I will get rid of my crutches and roam the world with him! If not, it's just a return to where I came from, as if Shao Zong had never existed in this world!

  He will eventually forget her...

  In this world, no one is indispensable...

  Xiao Congrong thought of this and resolutely took out the golden needle, without even leaving a message for Chu Qingcang!

  What's the point of leaving anything behind? Those who care about you will only be saddened by your departure, while those who don't care won't even notice if you leave or stay!

  After washing her hands, she laid out a set of golden needles on the bed and, for convenience, Xiao Zhen wore only her undergarments as she sat cross-legged on the bed behind the curtains, beginning to embroider.

  This set of acupuncture is very particular and must be inserted slowly along the direction of internal force, with strict control over depth and strength.

  At first, Xiao Zhen felt nothing, but as it went on, she became more and more miserable. Each injection was like cutting her own flesh with a knife, the pain seemed to come from the depths of her soul, making her sweat profusely.

  Afraid of calling out loud, Xiao Zong took a corner of the quilt and bit it in his mouth, continuing to persevere.

  It's like in a past life, when I was shot while on a mission and there were no medical conditions, so I had to use a knife to dig out the bullet myself... Xiao Zong felt that the pain now is even more severe than back then, when it was just one bullet, and after digging it out, everything was fine!

  Now it's about finishing a set of acupuncture, and the pain becomes endless!

  The pain made time seem to pass more slowly, and with only half of the eighteen needles inserted, she was already drenched in sweat, her undergarments soaked through, forming a circle of water stains around her body. She couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Xianglan and the others, and gritted her teeth to continue enduring the pain.

  At this time, the only comfort is that fortunately these days have been nourished by Chu Qing's precious medicine and have become plump and strong, otherwise with her previous body, she would not be able to withstand this pain and would have fainted long ago.

  Xiao's calm and composed personality has a stubborn side, if it were someone else, they might suspect that the acupuncture method is incorrect, otherwise why would it be so painful! Or who can endure this pain, is this just something the author wrote randomly!

  Xiao Congrong, however, did not think in this direction and instead stubbornly adhered to the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture saying "if it doesn't pass through, then it hurts", thinking that his pain was due to blockage and stubbornly wanting to complete a set of needling techniques.

  "Fourteen...... Fifteen......"

  Xiao's hands were shaking, the intense pain made her vision blurry, she couldn't see what was around her, and could only grope according to the acupoints in her memory, one needle at a time.

  The rain outside grew heavier and she didn't worry about approaching Yelan and the others to check on them, but only worried that she might not be able to hold on until the end.

  Are there a few more needles? She tried to focus her attention, feeling for the needles. There were three more, one was to be inserted at the top of the head Baihui, and two were at the Yongquan on the soles of the feet.

  The sequence was first foot and then head, Xiao Zhen Rong felt her way to tie up her left foot, the severe pain came flooding in, making everything in front of her eyes turn black, and she almost immediately fainted.

  She paused, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a quilt, and then continued to bind her right foot. She felt the internal force in her body start to surge chaotically. According to Chu Qingcang's breathing method, she sank all her internal force into her dantian. Although it was suffocatingly painful, her vision recovered somewhat, and she could see the vague outlines of the furniture around her.

  The last one! Whether it's good or bad depends on this one, Xiao Zongrong made an effort to control his excited emotions, steadied his hand and picked up the golden needle.

  Baihui is the most important acupoint on the top of the head, and it is also the place where all the meridians and blood in the body must pass through. It's like a connector that connects various nodes, once connected, the whole body's blood can flow through, but if you're not careful, it will cause internal force backlash, leading to madness.

  Xiao Zongrong's hands trembled several times, and she had no choice but to stop, close her eyes, and take a deep breath.

  Providing you with the best online romance novels.

  She was a first-rate shooter in her past life. If she can't even control her own emotions, isn't that just a waste?

  After taking a few deep breaths, she picked up the needle again and was able to sew steadily. She slowly raised her hand and gave herself an injection.

  A thin layer on the top of the head, the golden needle easily went in, but continuing forward, that kind of gnawing pain started from the soles of the feet, nibbling every inch of muscle upwards.

  Bit by bit, inch by inch of pain, tugging at the muscles and meridians, as if all knotted up inside the body, unable to stretch out and twist freely.

  Xiao Congrong's whole body muscles were trembling with pain, only to discover that the pain of pulling out fingernails was nothing compared to this, it was like heaven and earth.

  The needle had no strength to move, she steeled herself, concentrated her inner energy on her hand, and fiercely stabbed it in all at once.

  In an instant, it felt like all the blood rushed to the surface, and the uncontrollable inner force surged forth wildly.

  Xiao Congrong only felt that his head was about to explode in an instant, his eyes went blind first, and he keenly heard his blood flowing wildly in his brain, mixed with the uncontrolled inner force rampaging horizontally in his skull.

  In a daze, all consciousness was confused, and one by one, like a montage, they flashed randomly in the mind.

  "Comrade Xiao Congrong, you have been awarded a First-Class Meritorious Service Medal. We are proud of you! Keep it up!"

  That's her father, she has been working hard for his affirmation, and she saw the proud light in his eyes, haha, she didn't disappoint him!

  "Wait patiently, after this task is completed we will get married..."

  That was her boyfriend Xu Zheng, and Xiao Zongrong actually saw him kneeling in front of a tombstone. She stared wide-eyed, desperately trying to see whose tombstone it was, but it was all blurry, she couldn't see clearly at all.

  The camera suddenly zooms out, and a woman stands in the distance, holding an infant and wearing sunglasses, staring at Xu Zheng.

  Xiao Congrong felt a little anxious, who was this woman? Why did she seem so familiar!

  It seemed as if she sensed her anxiety, the woman raised her hand to remove her glasses, looked around, and Xiao Zong saw with a stunned expression that the woman had a face identical to his own, except for her eyes which were dull and lifeless, seemingly lost in thought, standing there stiffly and mechanically.

  Xiao Zongrong unconsciously approached her, wanting to see clearly if it was really herself. But before she could get closer, the baby in the woman's arms suddenly burst into loud wails, startling her and stopping her in her tracks. She stood there dazedly, looking at another self who also looked on helplessly as the crying baby...
