Behind her, Zhang Ning saw Lu Yun turn around and, still feeling a bit uneasy, added, "Don't peek, please." Suddenly, a pang of sadness struck her—her own scars, which she found unbearable to bear, were surely even more distressing to others. How could she have made such a big deal about asking Lu Yun to turn around? Even if she asked him to see her, he might not have paid much attention to her less-than-perfect body. As this thought crossed her mind, Zhang Ning’s eyes glistened with emotion—tears swirled in her eyes, yet she managed to hold them back, her strong and determined nature allowing her to control her emotions well. After all, it had been her own request that Lu Yun take care of her with medicine. To act so hesitant now would only make her seem overly shy and delicate. Composing himself, Zhang Ning began slowly removing her top, the white covering that had draped over the pair of proud peaks also slipping off. She walked to the other side of the basin and said, "Alright, now turn around." As Lu Yun's fingers gently brushed over Zhang Ning's back, like the flutter of a dragonfly's wings, Zhang Ning's body trembled subtly, barely perceptible. This was the first time she had been touched by a boy. Although previously Lu Yun had fully admired her, he had not physically touched or caressed her. Though her body bore scars that were deeply intimidating, the youthful shyness could not be concealed. As Lu Yun's gentle and delicate movements continued, Zhang Ning's rosy cheeks gradually blushed, her ears and neck turning a deep crimson, like peach blossoms in full bloom. "Although Land Yun spoke these words with confidence, his heart was full of faith in the powder. Zhang Yi's root had been injured, and within half an hour after drinking a bowl of the complete tonic soup, his male function had fully returned. As for the special medicine given by the bearded uncle, designed specifically to remove scars, it would surely be a piece of cake in eliminating the scars on Zhang Ning's body. Though Zhang Ning hadn't read much books, she was a graceful and intelligent young woman. Land Yun's words clearly served as reassurance for himself, yet she was gently amused by his lighthearted tone and smiled softly, saying, 'I didn't flee when I saw these scars—already, that makes me very happy. If you're counting on me gaining an advantage, then if, under these circumstances, you still manage to have some hidden intentions toward me, your standards must be quite high indeed.' Upon hearing this, Land Yun was momentarily startled. His hand, which had been gently massaging her back, paused slightly. His fingers lingered on the smooth, soft, scar-free skin of Zhang Ning and, without knowing why, gently drifted back and forth a few times. Zhang Ning felt as though struck, her body suddenly trembling, and she gasped, "Xiao Yun, you..." Feeling the strong reaction from Zhang Ning, Lu Yun instantly regained his composure and said, "Ning姐, I..." "Stop talking," Zhang Ning interrupted, suppressing the unexpected restlessness rising within her, and spoke softly. Lu Yun shook his head, wondering what had come over him—how deeply affected he was by her simple words. If not for her voice startling him, he wasn't sure what he would have done next. Focusing completely, keeping all impure thoughts at bay, he carefully wiped Zhang Ning's back, then retrieved a glass bottle containing the medicinal powder, opened the lid, and immediately a foul odor filled the room—this content is from Chapter 444 of "Rural Beauty." "What is that smell? It's so unpleasant," Zhang Ning suddenly covered her mouth and nose, murmuring her inquiry. Lu Yun hadn't expected the powder to have such a strong aroma—it nearly knocked him out, and only after adjusting his breathing several times did he gradually acclimate. Hearing Zhang Ning's words, he chuckled, "Ning姐, as the saying goes, 'a medicine that tastes bitter is beneficial for health.' Though the scent is a bit unpleasant, I'm sure the efficacy must be quite good. Just bear with it for a while." Zhang Ning nodded. She wasn't a delicate girl by nature, and upon hearing Lu Yun's words, she immediately let go of her hands covering her mouth and nose. It was one thing to endure Lu Yun's help, but to be so fussy when she herself was the one benefiting—she scolded herself mentally. With the treatment about to begin, Lu Yun felt a bit nervous. The big-bearded uncle had made quite an impressive promise: no matter how prominent the scars, he'd restore her to flawless skin within five minutes. As he gently scattered the powder onto Zhang Ning's back, Lu Yun whispered, "Ning姐, I'll need to use my fingers to distribute the powder evenly. You—just relax." "No problem," she replied, "go ahead." "Zhang Ning spoke with a crisp tone. Just moments ago, her back had been gently massaged by Lu Yun's fingers, which had already triggered such a strong response in her. Now, as she applied the medicine, she naturally felt even more intimate. After having just wiped herself clean, her back still felt slightly damp. As Lu Yun's fingers moved across it, the powdered medicine evenly seeped into the scarred skin, as if water had been poured into sandy soil, leaving no trace behind. Watching this remarkable scene, Lu Yun's confidence suddenly grew. "It's so itchy," Zhang Ning murmured, as Lu Yun gradually spread the powder over her back, sending waves of warmth and itchiness rippling through her. She couldn't help but shift slightly in her position. "Ning姐, just hold on a moment," Lu Yun reassured her, his movements growing even more delicate. Zhang Ning naturally understood that this was due to the medicine taking effect. Thinking that the countless scars that had troubled him so deeply would finally vanish forever, he was filled with indescribable excitement. Tears welled up in his captivating eyes and, finally, gently slipped down, landing on the ground and splashing several fine droplets. As time passed, Land Yun gradually covered all the scars on Zhang Ning's back with his treatments. While watching the scars on her back slowly transform, Land Yun suddenly realized something that made both him and Zhang Ning feel quite embarrassed. … Rural Beauty 444, Main Text 444 – Scar updates completed!
