Chapter 169: Being Sealed for One Month (II)

The doctor said, “It’s really active. I have a way to seal it for a period of time, but during this period, you should control your emotions. Try not to be too happy or too sad.”

Not too happy or too sad? Shi pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes, I see. Just do it.”

“Not during the day. Come to meet me at night. We still need a pool with cold water and there’s one on South Mountain. We’ll go there.”

After a pause, Shi nodded. “I see.”

After Shi left, Doctor Liu began to prepare some things, which would be needed at night…

Before lunch, Long returned to Qiankun Palace.

Shi asked servants to deliver the food. Then, he and Long, who still felt a bit awkward, sat at the table.

Long said, “Do you have any plans for the afternoon?”

Shi shook his head. “No.”

Long said, “How about go out for a walk?”

Shi shook his head. “I’m a little tired. I want to rest.”

“What?” Long looked at Shi with some doubts. “You’re tired?”

Shi nodded. “Yeah. Aren’t you tired? Let’s take a nap later…”

“Uh… All right.” Long thought about it and nodded.

After lunch, they took a walk in the yard and then went back for a nap.

However, Shi didn’t sleep at all.

He was afraid that he would do something beyond his control.

It was fine if he hurt himself, but he was worried that he would hurt Long.

If that happened… he would regret it all his life.

Long didn’t know what was wrong with Shi, so he slept soundly…

Night fell. Long slept in the afternoon, so he was full of energy at night. He wanted to have sex with his empress, but he didn’t expect… Shi turned him down!

Right! His empress turned him down!

In the end, Long closed his eyes gloomily.

Shi just touched Long’s hand to comfort him.

Shi still didn’t sleep. After Long fell asleep, Shi quickly hit Long’s acupoints to make him sleep more soundly. Then, he ordered the Shadow Guardians he trusted to guard Long in the room.

Later, Shi put on a dark cloak and left Qiankun Palace.

When Shi arrived at Doctor Liu’s place, the doctor had prepared everything.

“You’re here.” Looking at Shi in a black cloak, the doctor raised his eyebrows. Then, he said, “Okay, let’s go.”

Shi nodded.

They got out of the imperial palace. Thanks to their martial arts, they walked very fast and it wasn’t long before they arrived at South Mountain.

“The pool is in the forest. Let’s go,” Doctor Liu said.

Shi nodded.

South Mountain had been surrounded by Qiu Ming and his troops for a long time.

Although the soldiers didn’t go up the mountain, they have surrounded the foot of the mountain.

Both Shi and Doctor Liu could do great martial arts. Together with several Shadow Guardians, they naturally wouldn’t be found by the soldiers. Therefore, they overcame the obstacles and entered the forest on the mountainside.

South Mountain was dangerous and there were many wild animals in the forest.

This was also the reason why Qiu Ming’s troops didn’t go up the mountain. Those troops had the ability to deal with the wild animals, but animals also had their value in this world.

If they drove away or killed all the wild animals in there, South Mountain would become a barren mountain sooner or later!

Anyway, this mountain was a good place for training.

After arriving at the mountainside, Doctor Liu took the lead in entering the forest.

Shi followed.

Doctor Liu knew where the pool was, so he was heading there with Shi.

Many animals had been killed because of the people who hid poison there earlier, but there were still a lot of them.

When Shi and Liu just went there, they encountered a big tiger.

They didn’t want to waste time on the wild animals and just hurried to the pool.

The forest covered a large area. Even if Shi and Doctor Liu walked very fast, it took them a long time to reach the center, where the pool was located.

There was no other way. Not all wild animals could be avoided. Moreover, some animals were very sensitive to humans’ breathing. Even great martial artists couldn’t hide themselves from them.

So, they killed two wild animals on the way.

When they got to the pool, Doctor Liu didn’t ask Shi to walk into the water at once. He checked around the pool and then sprinkled some powder around it.

Later, Doctor Liu said to Shi, “Take off your coat and go down.”

Shi listened to him and walked into the pool with underclothes.

The pool was not very deep, but the water was freezing cold.

It was almost summer. Shi didn’t expect that the water in it would be so cold. He didn’t use his internal strength, so he couldn’t help shivering in the water.

Doctor Liu looked around with caution. Then, he said to Shi, “Ask the Shadow Guardians to leave one hundred meters away. Don’t let any wild animal come here and try not to make any noise.”

Shi nodded and ordered in a deep voice.

After that, Doctor Liu also took off his coat and walked into the water.

“Go over there and get two big stones. Pile them up and sit on them. Maintain the posture of meditation,” Doctor Liu said.

Shi nodded. He went to the other side of the pool and got two big stones. After piling the stones up, he sat on them and the water in the pool just reached his chest.

Once Doctor Liu waved, some golden needles appeared in his hand.

“It’ll be painful. You must put up with it and try not to make a sound,” Doctor Liu said to Shi seriously.

Shi nodded. “I see.”

Without saying anymore, the doctor began to focus on working.

The gold needles soon covered Shi’s back.

Sweat rolled down Shi’s forehead. He closed his eyes and bit his lips hard.

His lips even bled, but he didn’t make a sound just as Doctor Liu required.

Doctor Liu knew how painful it was. He could see it from Shi’s body, which was as stiff as a stone. He found that Shi could really tolerate pain.

Doctor Liu admired Shi for this.

A moment later, Doctor Liu said, “I’m going to take out the needles, which will be more painful, but it will be okay if you groan.”

Before Shi had realized it, Doctor Liu clapped him on the back to remove the needles.

Shi was unprepared, but he only made a muffled sound.

Then, Doctor Liu had successfully removed the needles.

“All alright. It can be controlled for a month. During this month, you can’t have sex or get worked up.”

Having sex wasn’t allowed… Hearing that, Shi’s face darkened and he slowly nodded.

That familiar smile appeared on Doctor Liu’s face for the first time this night.

“Your Grace, if you can’t have sex with the emperor now, will he ask someone else?”

Shi glanced at Doctor Liu coldly and quickly went ashore…
