Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1460: Lin Tong’s Worries

~5 minute read · 1,222 words

Yan Country, East Sea.

It has been raining for three consecutive days, marking the third day since Ye Xuan left this city.

Longing, such longing.

Worry, such worry.

Missing him, missing him so much.

Lin Tong sat in the CEO’s office, unable to focus on the few important documents on the desk, her mind wandering.

Is he okay?

What is he doing?

Did he manage to rescue his brothers?

Is he injured?

When will he come back?

Will he come back at all?

Afraid to think about it, yet unable to stop.

Like being in a boiling oil pot, it’s so painful. She really wanted to call him to find out how he was doing, to put her mind at ease. But every time she picked up the phone, Lin Tong dared not dial.

She’s afraid that a call from her might become the opportunity for Ye Xuan to get distracted and lose the battle...

Pa!

Lin Tong slapped herself hard, without reservation, making her delicate little face blush significantly.

"Lin Tong, what are you thinking? Are you cursing your own husband to die? Do you want to become a widow?

He’s so powerful, how could he possibly die? At most, he’ll get a little hurt!

No, he won’t even get hurt, he’s invincible. He will definitely make the enemies all fall, and then come back healthy. He and you still have so many things to do, you haven’t even given him a baby yet..."

Lin Tong muttered to herself.

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but touch her flat little belly, so smooth, so soft, so flat.

Touching it, she couldn’t help but think of a day when her flat belly would gradually bulge and finally become a big belly. At that time, Ye Xuan would definitely lie on her belly every day, listening to the baby’s sounds inside.

The former Lin Tong thought she would look really ugly when she turned into a pregnant woman.

But now, imagining that picture, her heart seemed to melt, so warm, so happy.

She began to laugh.

Laughing and laughing, then she started to cry.

She buried her head and wept bitterly.

She really wanted to control herself, to stop worrying about Ye Xuan, to mindlessly believe he would triumph, but even after slapping herself several times these past few days, she still couldn’t help but worry.

She’s really scared.

She really can’t face a future where she can only stare at the fossil bracelet Ye Xuan gave her, daydreaming day after day, missing him night after night, never to see his life again.

If that happens, she surely can’t continue living alone.

But she doesn’t want to die, she wants to live with him for decades to come.

...

On the other side of the world.

Harado Mountains.

As time passed, when nearly six hundred elite mercenaries of the extensive alliance of the Satan Legion and other forces continued to die, a hint of pale light finally appeared on the horizon.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Satan Alliance.

Once daylight arrives, the outnumbered Black Emperor’s strength would be relatively weakened, making victory more probable for the many mercenaries advancing deeper into the mountains.

This ebb and flow is very unfavorable for Ye Xuan and Purgatory.

Especially for Purgatory.

After a fierce battle, Purgatory, retreating into the depths of the mountains, suffered heavy casualties.

Out of the hard total of only three hundred and sixty-seven people, thirteen have died so far, a hundred and forty-three are seriously injured, and the rest more or less carry minor injuries that affect their strength.

Among the deep mountains, the environment is harsh.

Even at their peak, life in the Harado Mountains wouldn’t be easy, let alone under today’s circumstances?

No abundant food, no anti-inflammatory or healing medications, unable to rest or reorganize safely, constantly having to maintain vigilance against the ever-present threats of wild beasts and the enemy.

They have persisted under such conditions for three days.

Every nightfall, a nightmare for them, as the wild beasts become restless.

Every daybreak, also a nightmare, as the enemy outside becomes restless.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, life or death is just a decision away!

At this moment, hundreds of Purgatory members are hiding in a solitary, chilly cave, where defending against wild beasts could lessen their burdens and dangers significantly.

A faint light shines at the cave entrance.

The group shook their heads with a bitter smile: "Still the same, just avoided the wild beasts and now have to leave the cave to find suitable terrain to guard against the enemy."

The cave can block less intelligent beasts, but there’s no defense against intelligent, armed enemy forces. Once discovered, hiding in the cave means they’ll get cornered and slain.

Luo Qing, codenamed ’Crimson Snake’, curled his lips, appearing somewhat like a mother leopard: "A bunch of rotten bastards, ambushing and scheming; if Black Emperor was here, they’d have been wiped out long ago!"

"Chi Lian, aren’t you stating the obvious?" Ye Lang scoffed: "If the Black Emperor hadn’t returned to Yan Country, not to mention an ambush, they wouldn’t dare make a single noise!"

Xiong Shan, codenamed Iron Tower, encouraged morale: "The Black Emperor should know our situation by now, and he’ll definitely arrive as soon as possible. Brothers, let’s hold on a bit longer. Once Black Emperor gets here, no matter how massive the enemy army, they’ll just be sheep for us to slaughter!"

"Yeah, the Black Emperor can do anything. Once he arrives, we’ll make the Satan Legion look like fools!"

"Damn it, just the thought makes me angry. If it weren’t for Black Emperor being busy with his woman, those bastards wouldn’t dare bully and suppress us Purgatory!"

"A gentleman’s revenge takes all day; once Black Emperor arrives, we’ll leave not one of them standing!"

"..."

This is a truly remarkable team.

Just recently mired in gloom, yet at the mention of the Black Emperor’s name, they instantly get invigorated, filled with confidence, as if they can already see the enemy army, causing them so much misery, about to be slaughtered and defeated.

Such is the soul-deep worship and belief in the Black Emperor by everyone in Purgatory!

But belief aside, they must face reality.

The Black Emperor hasn’t arrived yet, so they must leave this cave.

"The small forest we stayed in yesterday might have been discovered by the enemy, so we can’t go there anymore,"

Luo Qing, temporarily in charge, commanded decisively: "Brothers, we need to work hard, head out together and find suitable new terrain to hold out. We must persevere!"

"Perseverance is victory!"

The crowd shouted together, following Luo Qing out of the cave with passion.

But just as they stepped outside the cave, hundreds of Purgatory warriors were struck dumb, all eyes turning towards the scene under the opposite waterfall.

On the pitch-black rock beneath the waterfall, a young man sat cross-legged.

Next to the young man, there was a razor-sharp sword.

One man and one sword, lonesome as snow, yet extremely familiar!
