Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander

23: Chapter 23: Let’s Make a Deal 23: Chapter 23: Let’s Make a Deal At that moment, Yan Qianyi could only move her arms.

She took out a silver needle and inserted it into the Baihui Acupoint, Four Shencong Acupoint, Fengchi Acupoint, and other acupoints on her head.

In just a moment, she gradually regained sensation throughout her body.

She then inserted a few needles into acupoints near the joints of her limbs.

Finally, her body was completely normal.

She put away the silver needles, stood up, and looked at Mu Yunlie, “Let’s make a deal.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunlie straightened his back.

Was it finally time to stop pretending?

His direct approach was just to his liking.

He turned to look at Yan Qianyi.

Under the cold moonlight, his face appeared even more stern.

His thin lips slightly moved, “What is your purpose?”

“I know that you married me last night because the poison had affected your mind, and that you asked me out tonight probably to discuss a divorce,” said Yan Qianyi.

After all, nobody wanted to marry someone they had only met once.

And with Mu Yunlie being so handsome, he certainly wasn’t lacking in excellent suitors.

He surely did not want to continue maintaining a marital relationship with her.

Mu Yunlie watched her leisurely, “So?”

Yan Qianyi spoke earnestly, “I’m currently in some trouble and need a husband to shield me.

If possible, could you please continue being my husband and not divorce me just yet?”

Mu Yunlie narrowed his eyes, looking at Yan Qianyi as if she were a simpleton.

Didn’t she know that they had to be married for a year before they could divorce?

That was common knowledge for the interstellar citizens.

Moreover, the content of their conversation was not developing in the direction he had anticipated.

Yan Qianyi continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you help me for nothing.

In return, I can cure the rare poison in your body.”

Of course, marrying him wasn’t out of the question either.

Mu Yunlie looked as if he had heard a joke, a smirk passing over his lips.

“Don’t be skeptical.

My silver needle is really powerful!” As she spoke, Yan Qianyi pulled out a silver needle.

The silver needle sparkled under the moonlight, casting a piercing cold light in Mu Yunlie’s eyes.

Suddenly, he moved closer swiftly and grabbed Yan Qianyi’s wrist, “You can’t restrain yourself anymore and want to take the chance to attack me?”

“Uh?” Yan Qianyi blinked in astonishment.

“Tell me, who is behind you?”

Yan Qianyi looked behind her, “There’s nobody behind me.”

“Don’t play dumb!” Mu Yunlie scoffed coldly, glancing at the silver needle in her hand with disdain, “Thinking you could kill me with this is simply naïve.”

“This is a tool commonly used in Ancient Medical Technique.

Haven’t you heard of it?

It’s used for saving lives,” Yan Qianyi explained.

Though, in her hands, it could also be used to kill.

But she really did not intend to kill him.

Seeing Mu Yunlie’s skeptical expression, Yan Qianyi felt truly helpless.

Clearly, Mu Yunlie knew nothing about the silver needle.

It was understandable, as the Ancient Medical Technique was a matter of thousands of years ago, now long lost.

Her wrist hurt from his grip, and as she couldn’t break free, she explained further:

“Really, I just used this silver needle to restore sensation to my body.

Look, it worked much faster than your massage, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand here properly.

Moreover, if I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it last night when the poison in your body was acting up, not waited until now.”

Having said that, she looked at him earnestly, blinking her eyes.
