The Protagonist Stole My Spiritual Roots? The Heroine, Give Me a Good Birth!

136: The first time I fought kickboxing in Southeast Asia...However, when Chen Xuan saw the woman, he was slightly stunned.

The Empress Dowager She before him possessed a mature charm, with exquisite features and fair skin. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a smooth waterfall, shimmering with luster, and a captivating allure emanated from her eyes.

Especially with every gesture, a charming aura radiated, making people unable to help but take a second look.

But that wasn’t the most impressive thing; the most impressive was her figure—voluptuous and well-proportioned, with a soft, slender waist that swayed like a water snake.

Even though Empress Dowager She was merely leaning languidly by the window at this moment, in Chen Xuan’s eyes, that incredibly slender water snake waist seemed to be constantly twisting, like a nimble snake, making her elusive yet irresistibly tempting to explore.

Every movement seemed to carry a natural rhythm, making one feel a primal allure.

At the same time, her elegant and noble demeanor, an innate aristocratic aura, made people dare not blaspheme her, coupled with the unique charm of a mature woman, caused Chen Xuan to fall into a brief trance.

(You always say my pictures are small, but you don’t know I have my own difficulties!)

In Chen Xuan’s opinion, if she wanted to, she could crush him at any moment.

”You are Chen Xuan? How can you be so rude!” Empress Dowager She saw Chen Xuan staring blankly at her and couldn’t help but feel a little angry. She reprimanded him softly.

She Jingxi frowned slightly. In this vast imperial palace, who dared to stare at her like this? If she hadn’t known he was Zhao Tianming’s friend, she would have long since lost her temper and had him thrown out!

Chen Xuan regained his senses and quickly apologized, ”My apologies, Empress Dowager She. I was merely captivated by your beauty and charm just now. I beg your forgiveness for my disrespect.”

Empress Dowager She snorted lightly and said, ”You speak very prettily! But don’t forget, this is the imperial palace, not a place for you Jianghu people. Here, everything must follow rules.”

Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly, ”Empress Dowager She is right, I will always remember that. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to show your face directly, which is why your beauty struck me as heavenly!”

”So, it’s my fault then?” She Jingxi raised an eyebrow.

”I wouldn’t dare!”

Empress Dowager She nodded slightly, motioning for Chen Xuan to sit down: ”Doctor Chen, please have a seat.”

Chen Xuan then sat opposite the Empress Dowager She and began to treat her.

She Jingxi looked at Chen Xuan and said, ”How do you think my illness should be treated?”

”For this matter, I need to take your pulse, Empress Dowager She, to know!”

”Take my pulse?” She Jingxi was slightly puzzled; she had never heard of such a term.

”You just need to give me your hand, and I will on your wrist...”

”Presumptuous!” She Jingxi directly interrupted Chen Xuan.

”Do you know who I am? How dare you make such a request?”

Chen Xuan was startled by the sudden reprimand and quickly explained, ”Empress Dowager She, you’ve misunderstood. I meant no offense; I merely wish to take your pulse to assess your condition.”

She Jingxi sneered and said, ”Do you take me for a three-year-old child? How could I possibly let you casually touch my hand!”

”Empress Dowager She, please calm your anger, I absolutely meant no offense!” Chen Xuan quickly explained, ”I merely wish to understand your illness by taking your pulse, so I can prescribe the right medicine.”

”Oh?” She Jingxi raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of playful smile, ”Do you think I would believe such an absurd statement from you?”

”Empress Dowager She, I wouldn’t dare speak nonsense. Please believe me, I can definitely cure this illness for you!” Chen Xuan said sincerely.

”Hmph, what arrogant words! So many famous doctors before couldn’t cure me, and you, so young, dare to make such a rash judgment?!”

Chen Xuan heard Empress Dowager She’s skepticism. He took a deep breath, decided not to say more, and instead directly demonstrated his medical skills to her.

”Empress Dowager She, please allow me to perform the treatment for you. Since I cannot take your pulse directly, I can only use another method!”

”What method?”

”Suspended thread pulse diagnosis!” Chen Xuan explained the principle and procedure.

”You mean with just a single thread, you can diagnose my illness?” The expression on She Jingxi’s face grew even stranger.

”Yes, Empress Dowager She.” Chen Xuan nodded confidently, ”I will use a thin thread to take your pulse, which will avoid touching your skin while still accurately determining your condition.”

She Jingxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: ”Alright, then do as you say.”

Chen Xuan immediately took out a thin thread, tied one end to his own wrist, and handed the other end to Empress Dowager She.

He gently held one end of the thread with his hand, then closed his eyes and began to concentrate, entering the state of pulse diagnosis.

He tried to sense Empress Dowager She’s pulse through this thread. Thankfully, he now had cultivation, so sensing a pulse was no problem at all.

However, as he was feeling it, Chen Xuan became bewildered.

Initially, Chen Xuan felt a bit unaccustomed, as this was his first time seriously treating someone, but it was normal to be unaccustomed when starting with such a high-level situation!

It was like winning a championship in Southeast Asia in 1974, the first time fighting in a free combat match!

But as time went on, Chen Xuan became even more bewildered; he couldn’t sense what kind of pulse Empress Dowager She had at all.

Instead, it was more like... a medicinal herb! A traditional Chinese medicinal herb!

”System, why is she different from what the traditional Chinese medicine books say? Are you tricking me?”

”Ding, is the host looking for ’Veterinary Mastery’ or ’Snake Breeding and Reproduction’?”

”Damn it, she’s really not human?! No wonder her pulse is so strange!”

”I say, have you found anything yet? If I find out you’re trying to fool me, I think you know the consequences!” She Jingxi was getting a little impatient.

”Cough cough, it’s not that I can’t diagnose it, but rather your pulse, Empress Dowager She, is simply too faint. I can only feel a tiny tremor within it. It must be that you have been too fatigued recently, causing your body to be in a weakened state!” Chen Xuan quickly said.

This explanation of his was almost universal, applicable to any patient, even healthy people!

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s words, She Jingxi’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to actually use the suspended thread pulse diagnosis method to accurately diagnose her condition.

Although she had nothing wrong with her and was just feigning illness, she didn’t expect Chen Xuan to still be able to diagnose her current weakness!

At this moment, She Jingxi’s impression of Chen Xuan changed once again.

She began to believe that this young doctor indeed possessed extraordinary medical skills.

”Hmm, you’re right. I have indeed had some coughing these past few days, and sometimes I feel a tightness in my chest.” Empress Dowager She nodded slightly, acknowledging Chen Xuan’s diagnosis.

However, as Empress Dowager She elaborated, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but look towards the area she mentioned feeling tight.
