Yang Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a bitter smile:

"Don't go snooping around, I have no grudge against your Situ Family."

"I can also tell you accurately, not only do I have no grudge against your Situ Family, but your family actually has shown me kindness."

"However, don't think you can use this to coerce me or make me do something."

"I've already repaid the Situ Family's kindness, and I've repaid it dozens of times over."

Situ Tingting was even more puzzled.

"The Situ Family showed you kindness? And you've already repaid it?"

She seriously searched her memories, but she couldn't recall having any interaction with Yang Yan.

Moreover, she hadn't heard of anything happening in the family these past few years.

But looking at Yang Yan's expression, she felt he didn't seem to be lying.

"Alright, stop guessing, and don't expect to get any information from me."

"I really don't want to have any more entanglements with your Situ Family, give up that hope!"

Yang Yan finished speaking and directly pulled out a silver needle, thrusting it hard into Situ Tingting's body.

He was now using the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles in combination with his True Qi to stimulate Situ Tingting's potential, thereby prompting cell regeneration to help her recover quickly.

"Listen carefully!"

Yang Yan's voice suddenly became very magnetic, as if it came from the Void, with each word echoing like a deep bell toll in Situ Tingting's heart:

"You practice the Hidden Sword Technique, and although you might become an ordinary person after unleashing that sword strike, it's not entirely disadvantageous."

"You should know that in a human lifetime, the number of cell divisions is limited."

"After that sword strike, it's as if you cut off the past, everything starts anew, and the number of cell divisions resets."

"So, the method I'm using now might greatly harm others, but for you, it basically has no impact."

"What you need to do is cooperate well with me to stimulate your cell division, understand?"

Situ Tingting instinctively wanted to nod but found herself unable to move; however, her control over her body became extraordinarily clear.

It was as if the change of every cell and the flow of every strand of breath were clearly imprinted in the depths of her mind.

In a person's life, cells can divide approximately fifty times.

Yang Yan's approach was to induce early cell division in Situ Tingting's body.

Moreover, it wasn't just once or twice, at the very least, it was over ten times.

This might be fatal to ordinary people, but for someone like Situ Tingting who practices the Hidden Sword Technique, it's no big deal.

After all, the Hidden Sword Technique is an obscure spell that treats one's physical body as a Sword Scabbard and the soul as the Sword Blade.

This spell is powerful but likewise can only be used a few times in a lifetime.

As time passes, its power grows, which is why it's rarely executed.

Of course, the terrifying consequences of employing the Hidden Sword Technique are one of the fundamental reasons why practitioners are reluctant to use it lightly.

"Understood."

Feeling the rapid rise in her body temperature, Situ Tingting communicated with Yang Yan using Soul Communication, then tried to compose her mind to cooperate.

As Yang Yan's silver needles continued to pierce, Situ Tingting felt her body's temperature surge explosively.

Gradually, she felt as if she was about to combust.

In the end, with her peripheral vision, she clearly saw faint flames beginning to emerge on her body.

Luckily, Yang Yan had her strip her clothes off beforehand, otherwise, she might have had to buy new clothes.

"Stop the random thoughts, carefully feel the changes within your body."

Seeing Situ Tingting getting distracted, Yang Yan hurriedly reminded her.

It wasn't clear how long it took, but he started to remove the silver needles from Situ Tingting one by one.

Eventually, Situ Tingting gradually regained her senses and began to regulate her breathing actively, trying to guide the power saturating her body.

Unlike when Yang Yan first treated her wounds.

Before, Yang Yan just preserved her life.

Now, Situ Tingting could clearly feel her power returning.

She even felt her strength had grown significantly.

"Do you feel your strength has increased? Let me tell you, don't get too excited yet, this power boost comes with a price."

Yang Yan said seriously.

"Doesn't matter."

Situ Tingting seemed very relaxed instead, smiling gently:

"To have my injuries completely healed in such a short time and my strength increased like this, I really am curious now, just who are you?"

Yang Yan chuckled:

"Why worry about who I am? I've already told you, it's best for your Situ Family to stay away from me, otherwise, I'm really afraid I might do something to you all."

Pfft!

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Situ Tingting finally couldn't help but laugh aloud with a puff.

She certainly didn't know who in her family had entanglements with this mysterious man before her.

But seeing Yang Yan's expression, she indeed found it somewhat amusing.

"Well, how long do you plan on staying naked? Aren't you going to hurry up and put your clothes on?"

Yang Yan said coldly.

Honestly, Situ Tingting wasn't unattractive.

One could even say she had a fairy-like air about her.

This was one of the benefits of cultivation.

As long as they are cultivators, their Essence, Qi, and Spirit are naturally much better than ordinary people.

So, except for those Evil Cultivators, all cultivators, regardless of gender, young or old, are invariably more appealing than normal people.

And a woman like Situ Tingting, with good looks and a good figure, is even more attractive to the opposite sex.

Healing her wholeheartedly just now didn't leave an impression, but now that the treatment was finished, she laughed in a flirtatiously charming way.

Yang Yan truly feared he might lose control and take justice into his own hands.

At that point, the Situ Family guy surely wouldn't let him go.

"Humph! What? Does seeing my body make you feel wronged?"

Situ Tingting glared at Yang Yan dissatisfiedly.

"Say what you will, if it were someone else, I might take a few glances or even make a move."

"But you... heh, kindly put your clothes on, I don't want to go blind."

Yang Yan said disdainfully.

"You..."

Never had Situ Tingting quarreled like this with anyone, naturally, she stood no chance against Yang Yan.

"Grumble grumble..."

Just as Situ Tingting wanted to make one last stand, her stomach made a sudden sound.

Hearing the noise from Situ Tingting's belly, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown, then said:

"Hurry and put your clothes on, let's go get something to eat. It's been three days, I haven't had a drop to drink either!"
