My Co-renting Lady Boss

It’s important to know that the Silver Needle Tribulation Crossing is the most mysterious and hardest secret technique to inherit in the Immortal Medical Technique.

He hadn’t expected that Tang Ming could do it.

"Hmm. If you want to learn, just watch. It’s actually quite simple."

Tang Ming nodded and quickly injected Immortal Energy into the Silver Needle.

The Silver Needle, infused with Immortal Energy, started to buzz. Following the instruction from the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique, Tang Ming swiftly inserted the Silver Needle onto the Qi Sect Acupoint near the wound.

The so-called Qi Sect Acupoint is a unique acupoint for cultivators, requiring the use of the Silver Needle to perceive the trajectory of the cultivator’s Immortal Energy.

After a few needles, indeed, the bleeding stopped. Tang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Aunt Meng, go fetch some hot water. Nuoyi, try treating her again, let’s see how it goes."

Tang Ming turned around and spoke to Aunt Meng and Nuoyi.

Nuoyi nodded, and Immortal Energy circulated swiftly within his body. His hand turned bright green, and intense Immortal Energy was released from his hand onto the wound of the Black Skull assassin.

The wound began to heal slowly. Although effective, in Tang Ming’s view, it was still too slow.

"No, it’s too slow. The Silver Needle can only sustain it for a while; if this continues, her wound will revert to its former state."

Tang Ming sighed deeply and reached out to remove the mask of the Black Skull assassin lying on his bed.

The assassin, who had kept her eyes closed all along, suddenly opened them. She didn’t know where she got the strength but managed to reach out and grab Tang Ming’s wrist.

"What are you doing?"

Guo Muye and Nuoyi both took out their Magic Treasures from their Storage Rings.

The Black Skull assassin moaned, "The mask can’t be taken off; if you do, I’ll die."

Recalling the Black Skull assassin who had previously tried to assassinate him, Tang Ming nodded: "I will give you an antiseptic medicine, which will allow you to recover quickly. You do it yourself and take off the mask."

The room fell silent, and Gehou knew that this was the greatest challenge she faced since joining the Black Skull.

According to Black Skull’s regulations, masks cannot be removed during missions; if they do, the spell inside the mask will activate, tearing apart the entire face.

But just as Tang Ming said, if she wants to live, she must break the rules, and she has a reason to live.

"Let them all leave. Not everyone can see my appearance."

Gehou raised her head and looked at Tang Ming.

"No, if we leave, what if you attack our Hall Master? You Black Skull people have assassinated our Hall Master before."

Nuoyi and Guo Muye both shook their heads.

Tang Ming raised an eyebrow: "Nuoyi, Mr. Guo, you both leave. We are medical hall people; we must consider the patients, even if they were once your enemies, now they are just your patients. Go on, I will be fine."

"Hall Master."

Nuoyi still wanted to speak but was held back by Guo Muye. Guo Muye shook his head, his gaze landing on Lan Yanyou, who was lying next to him.

With Lan Yanyou present, even if Gehou wanted to make a move against Tang Ming, she probably wouldn’t be able to harm him.

The sound of the door closing echoed, and Gehou’s hand trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth, using her finger to touch the blood she had previously shed onto her garment.

A strange red mark appeared on her mask. The original white skull imprint seemed as if belonging to the head, absorbed into her skull.

Tang Ming’s gaze fell on Gehou’s face. She was a cold woman, with her features very delicate, her hair long and tousled with a sort of disheveled beauty.

The previous Sealing had consumed much of her energy, and now she was moaning softly, looking very alluring.

"Eat it."

Tang Ming took out the only Golden Healing Pill from his Storage Ring and placed it into Gehou’s mouth.

Gehou’s pupils contracted; as an assassin of the Black Skull, she naturally knew the preciousness of the Golden Healing Pill.

Gehou was an orphan when she was young. Her parents were members of the Demon Hunting Team. During a hunt for a Great Demon, her parents and the entire Demon Hunting Team were wiped out, killed by the Great Demon.

Ever since, Gehou was chased out of the house by her grandfather, grandmother, uncles, and aunts.

They thought that Gehou’s younger brother, being a boy, would be powerful in the future and could support the family.

And Gehou, being a weak and ungifted girl, was merely a waste of resources if kept.

In the cold winter, Gehou, dressed in thin clothes, encountered Suo Ming.

Suo Ming, at the time, was already an assassin of the Black Skull. When executing a task, he discovered Gehou sneaking to eat food in the target’s house.

This little girl resembled the older sister from his childhood memories. So, Suo Ming adopted Gehou.

At that time, the upper echelons of the Black Skull were considerably shaken, and even the rarely seen Skeletal Empress and Absolute Scribe went to Suo Ming’s mansion to see the girl Suo Ming had adopted.

But after seeing Gehou, they shook their heads, believing Gehou could not grow. A person without exceptional talent would remain a waste no matter how hard they tried.

This seemed to have become a predetermined fate within the Taoyuan World. But Gehou didn’t give up.

When others trained for two hours, Gehou trained for four. When others learned one secret technique, she begged Suo Ming to teach her two.

Thus, Gehou became an anomaly within the Black Skull, known for training in the most secret techniques.

She was someone among the mid-tier Black Skull nonetheless capable of defeating top-tier assassins.

She always followed Suo Ming, assisting in his tasks. Many believed she was Suo Ming’s woman, but Gehou knew his feelings were more fatherly than mentor-like.

A tingling sensation spread from the wound, and Tang Ming used Immortal Energy to keep manipulating the Silver Needle near the wound.

The wound healed at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Lan Yanyou leapt onto Tang Ming’s shoulder: "Nice, hero rescuing a maiden."

"I just think keeping her alive is more beneficial. When I saved her earlier, she was still wearing that skull mask."

Tang Ming countered Lan Yanyou’s remark.

Lan Yanyou nodded: "Well said, but are you really not intrigued? A cold, proud female assassin."

Tang Ming remained silent; meeting Gehou, he did feel somewhat captivated. But being an assassin, she was like a scorpion, and he didn’t want to be stabbed while holding her.

"Your wound should be well-healed. My brewed antiseptic medicine doesn’t just treat external injuries but also is effective for internal ones. I understand the mind of you assassins, but I hope you won’t leave without a word."

Tang Ming fixed his gaze on Gehou, whose eyes contracted before she eventually responded affirmatively.
