Zhao Chuchu smiled knowingly and said, “Sister Hong, I think you should refrain from speaking so confidently now. The medicinal bath I’ve prepared for you is not as simple as soaking in water infused with herbs.”

Chang Hong had never seen treatment like this before, so she could not imagine how it would look or feel. She assumed that Zhao Chuchu had tried it on a commoner before, and the other party could not withstand it. She was confident that as a martial arts practitioner, she would have no problem enduring the process.

When Xie Heng came home, Zhao Chuchu had just concluded her work in the medicine room.

The two talked about what they had done, respectively, and they went to bed early.

The next day, Zhao Chuchu gave the medicinal herbs to Chang Hong and instructed her to concoct them in the evening for at least two hours.

Then, Zhao Chuchu went to the Ruyu Center to check its progress.

Most of the fitness equipment was ready. There were only a few details left to be refined.

Zhao Chuchu tested the equipment and noticed that they were sturdier than expected.

She was impressed by the wisdom of these ancient people.

The craftsmen observed as Zhao Chuchu swung around the rails nimbly, as though not an ounce of energy was required to pull off the stunts.

The younger craftsmen were interested in playing around the rails like Zhao Chuchu did.

Zhao Chuchu stopped them and warned, “Do not imitate my moves without guidance. Otherwise, you might get injured. You’re considered lucky if you get a sprain. You might get a fracture if you’re careless.”

A young craftsman argued, “But Mrs. Xie, you make it look so simple.”

“That’s just from appearances. Come and give it a try. Let’s see how many pull-ups you can do.”

Zhao Chuchu demonstrated how to do a pull-up.

The young craftsman was competitive. He felt that this was as simple as ABC.

Since Zhao Chuchu could do five pull-ups, he could surely do 10.

However, reality soon slapped him in the face.

He did two pull-ups and reached his limit. He thrust his legs as hard as possible, but his body would not move. The crowd laughed at him, saying, “You look just like a frog. It’s unsightly. Mrs. Xie did it gracefully with her legs straight. Are you planning to propel yourself up?

The young man got down from the bar and admitted defeat without shame. “I was wrong for belittling Mrs. Xie. Please forgive me. But Mrs. Xie, I don’t understand. Why do you want to build all these?”

“This equipment is very useful. They can help strengthen our bodies.”

“But didn’t you say this center will only accept female customers? Which lady would want to learn such stunts?”

“I’m sure some will enjoy this.”

So many obese women in the world. Everyone desired a slimmer body.

The ladies could slim down as long as they were willing to exercise and control their diet. They could depend on medicine to lose weight, but even the best treatment would become poisonous if consumed in large quantities.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with the girls having better fitness.

At the very least, they could defend themselves if their husbands became abusive in the future. They would not foolishly sit there and wait to be punched.

Not only could the ladies get fitter at the Ruyu Center, but they could also learn some basic defense techniques here.

People of the current era appreciated knowledge and belittled martial arts. The Six Arts of the Scholars were gradually abandoned, namely rites, music, archery, equestrianism, calligraphy, and mathematics. There were not many men who were proficient in martial arts. Therefore, there were many benefits if the girls could master some self-defense techniques.

The craftsmen could not understand what Zhao Chuchu was thinking.

They did not attempt to understand her either. They only wanted to complete their duty and get paid.

Zhao Chuchu took a look around. She was very satisfied with the craftsmen’s aesthetics. The high salary she was paying them had not gone to waste. After she pointed out some small areas that needed to be fixed, she left the Ruyu Center and returned home.

When she arrived home, Chang Hong had already prepared her medicine.

Once Zhao Chuchu entered the room, the strong scent of medicine overwhelmed her sense of smell.

Chang Hong was a considerate person. Without waiting for their neighbors to express their complaints, she bought a lot of caramel pastries to give to them and asked for their understanding.

The families living around the area also knew Doctor Miracle Zhao Chuchu was living here. Even if they were unhappy, they would not display it. Moreover,

Chang Hong had even given them food, so they could only tolerate the smell.

“I can’t let our neighbors have qualms with you because of me, so I took the initiative without seeking your permission. Please forgive my transgression,” said Chang Hong when she told Zhao Chuchu about this. She felt very worried that Zhao Chuchu would be unhappy because she had acted on her own.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and replied, “I don’t care much about such worldly things. Don’t worry, what you did is actually very good. Alright, pour the medicine into the bath. I will go get my medicine box. Remember, do not add cold water.”

“Alright. ”

Chai Le also hurried over to help out.

Zhao Chuchu brought over her medicine box and asked Chang Hong to strip naked. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

Chang Hong did not hesitate to follow her instructions.

This was the first time Chai Le had seen his wife fully undressed in front of others. He felt awkward, so he wanted to step outside.

Zhao Chuchu glared at him and asked, “Where do you think you are going? Stay here and look after Sister Hong. I still have other things to do!”

“Oh,” responded Chai Le as he returned to the room.

Chang Hong sat in front of Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu smothered a layer of medicinal oil all over her body and then took out some silver needles. After that, Zhao Chuchu swiftly and accurately stabbed them into her acupoints.

“Mrs. Xie, this level of pain is alright. Chai Le doesn’t need to stay here and look after me, does he? I can manage.”

“Sister Hong, try saying this after you enter the tub.”

Chang Hong fell silent.

After Zhao Chuchu finished stabbing the needles into Chang Hong’s acupoints, she helped Chang Hong into the bathtub and asked Chang Hong to sit at the center of the tub.

“Brother Le, look after Sister Hong. Don’t let her fall. She has silver needles all over her acupoints. The depth of the needles is very important.”

“I understand.”

“Sister Hong, bear with the pain for a while.”

Chang Hong nodded, not thinking much about it.

Zhao Chuchu stayed for a while. After 10 minutes, Chang Hong began to feel as though something was attempting to burrow into her through her skin. She felt itchy and painful all over her body..
