After entering the small building, Dongfang Ruolan thought for a moment and led Ye Fei upstairs to her bedroom.
Since the upcoming examination required Ye Fei to take off his clothes and lie down, the only places where he could do that were her bedroom or Miao Xin’s.
She couldn’t very well ask him to lie on the sofa in the living room.
Dongfang Ruolan’s bedroom was extremely simple, with just a small desk holding a few medical books and a bed. Her clothes were stored in the bedside table.
It was clear that she was the kind of woman who devoted herself entirely to her academic pursuits and didn’t care about anything else.
Although there was nothing particularly intimate in the room, just stepping into Dongfang Ruolan’s bedroom made Ye Fei’s heart race. His gaze turned fiery as he looked at her and asked, "Auntie, are we starting the exam right away?"
Dongfang Ruolan’s heart pounded uncontrollably under his intense stare. She lowered her head to avoid his eyes and said, "Of course we’re starting right away. Did you think we’d wait until after lunch?"
"Alright," Ye Fei replied, quickly stripping off his clothes and revealing his well-toned muscles and nearly perfect physique.
Dongfang Ruolan’s heart fluttered involuntarily.
Just as Ye Fei was about to take off his last piece of clothing—his shorts—Dongfang Ruolan stopped him. "Leave that on for now. We’ll see if it’s necessary later. Lie down first."
"Okay," Ye Fei obediently lay down, but the prominent tent in his shorts betrayed his true feelings.
Dongfang Ruolan came from a family of medical professionals and had been working in the field for years.
Although she had deliberately avoided seeing male bodies and had only seen Ye Fei’s when he was a child, she still had plenty of theoretical knowledge. She had thought she could remain indifferent to Ye Fei’s body, just like when he was a kid, but she quickly realized she was wrong.
Just as a woman’s body naturally attracts men, a man’s body, especially one as perfectly built as Ye Fei’s, could also make any normal woman’s heart race.
Dongfang Ruolan was no exception. Looking at his steel-like, muscular body, she couldn’t help but tremble.
Combined with the growing feelings she had for him, she unconsciously reached out her delicate fingers and gently traced his strong chest.
The sensation was like an electric shock, making both of their hearts skip a beat.
Dongfang Ruolan, feeling shy about her uncontrollable action, lowered her head, only to catch sight of the tent in his shorts.
Knowing what was beneath it and having felt it against a sensitive part of her body, she felt even more flustered and quickly turned her head away.
After a long while, Dongfang Ruolan gathered her composure, suppressing the urge to look again.
She quickly ran her hands over every acupoint on Ye Fei’s body, injecting a faint trace of her internal energy into him to assess the condition of his meridians.
Dongfang Ruolan’s internal energy wasn’t very strong.
By the time she had examined less than half of his body, she was already struggling.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on her beautiful face, and her breathing became rapid. However, she didn’t stop and continued to examine him.
Her seriousness made Ye Fei let go of his inappropriate thoughts. His arousal quickly subsided, but his affection for her deepened.
If before he had been attracted to her mostly for her beauty, now she had become just as important to him as any of his other women.
Eventually, Dongfang Ruolan’s movements slowed significantly.
It took her more than ten seconds to press each acupoint, and her face turned pale, clearly nearing her limit.
But Ye Fei, who knew her well, didn’t urge her to stop. He just looked at her with a gaze that was filled with both heartache and affection.
After more than an hour, Dongfang Ruolan finally stopped, panting heavily as she looked at Ye Fei.
Their eyes met, and in that moment, she felt an overwhelming sweetness in her heart. She felt that her efforts had been worth it, and her longing over the past few days had not been in vain.
The sudden rush of happiness was almost too much for her to bear. Her bright eyes turned a little red, and two glistening tears welled up.
Ye Fei, who had been lost in their deep gaze, was startled and quickly sat up, grabbing her hand and asking, "What’s wrong?"
Dongfang Ruolan realized her moment of weakness and quickly turned her head away, pulling her hand out of his.
"It’s nothing. I’m just really happy to see that you’re getting better," she said.
From the moment he saw her outside the office, Ye Fei had already understood her feelings.
Now, after the initial shock, he also grasped her current emotions. He felt deeply moved and silently vowed to give her an answer today. But he knew he couldn’t rush things, so he went along with her words.
"Is that so? My body is getting better? But wasn’t your internal energy unable to enter my body before?"
"It was impossible before, but things are different now," Dongfang Ruolan explained.
"Your meridians used to be completely blocked, preventing anyone’s internal energy from entering. But now you’ve managed to break through a small part of the blockage yourself, so it’s possible. And I’ve also discovered the real reason behind the blockage."
"What is it?" Ye Fei asked urgently.
This was about his own health, and he couldn’t help but be anxious.
"It’s a congenital yang energy," Dongfang Ruolan said, frowning thoughtfully.
"For ordinary martial artists, having even a trace of this energy could lead to great achievements and make them top-notch experts.

But in your case, it’s both fortunate and unfortunate that your body is filled with this yang energy, and it continues to generate more over time.
If you could fully refine and absorb it, your martial arts accomplishments would be unimaginable. However, refining this energy is extremely difficult, almost impossible. And this is what’s blocking your meridians."
"So that’s how it is," Ye Fei said with a hint of resignation, but he didn’t seem too troubled. He laughed and said, "Then I’ll just take my time refining it. My current abilities are more than enough for now."
Dongfang Ruolan was impressed by his open-mindedness and felt even more drawn to him.
But then she remembered another side effect of this energy and couldn’t help but frown again.
"However, if you can’t refine it, this pure yang energy will absorb all the life energy you generate. In other words, without fully refining it, you won’t have the ability to father children.
Even if you do refine it, the energy your body continues to produce will still absorb the pure yang energy to enhance your strength. The trade-off is that you won’t have any male descendants."
"What?"
Ye Fei was taken aback.
"Are you saying that no matter how hard I try, I won’t have a son, only daughters? Won’t our family line be cut off then?"
Dongfang Ruolan’s face turned red, and she gave a wry smile.
"I’m afraid that’s the case."
Ye Fei pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, "No son, then no son. As long as I can refine all this energy and maybe even achieve immortality, my family will be just fine with me being the only one left."
Dongfang Ruolan couldn’t help but chuckle at his words.
"You certainly have a positive outlook. It’s true that there’s no precedent for your condition, so who knows? Maybe you’ll become a mythical, immortal old monster. But for now, you should focus on refining this energy."
"But how do I refine it? Do you have any good ideas?" Ye Fei scratched his head.
He had some guesses, but he wanted to hear Dongfang Ruolan’s opinion first, as she was the real expert in medicine.
"I don’t have any good ideas, or even any bad ones," Dongfang Ruolan said with a wry smile.
"To be honest, I don’t even know how you managed to refine that little bit before... Ah, wait..."
Ye Fei noticed she stopped mid-sentence and couldn’t help but ask, "What is it?"
Dongfang Ruolan had suddenly thought of a possibility but felt embarrassed to mention it.
When Ye Fei asked, she had to force herself to say, "Have you... been intimate with a girl?" Before he could answer, she continued, "But that doesn’t make sense either. Although yin energy can help refine this yang energy, it can’t move on its own unless you know the legendary dual-cultivation technique."
At this point, Ye Fei decided there was no need to hide anything from her.
He laughed and said, "That’s right. I practice a dual-cultivation technique, and things changed after I was with Ling." In reality, the change happened after he was with Ye Yunqi, but he couldn’t tell Dongfang Ruolan that yet.
"I see," Dongfang Ruolan nodded gently, but she felt a strange pang in her heart, as if something precious had been taken away from her.
She immediately blushed at her own thoughts. She knew Ling, who was Ye Fei’s fiancée.
It was only natural for them to be together; why should she care? But for some reason, whenever she thought of Ye Fei and Ling embracing, she felt a twinge of discomfort.
Ye Fei immediately noticed the hint of disappointment on Dongfang Ruolan’s face but didn’t point it out.
Instead, he quickly got out of bed and said with concern, "Auntie, you must be tired too. You should rest for a while."
