Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1529: He’s Actually Practicing Iron Head Skill
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
The moment Luo Qing stepped into the room, the faint sounds of women's laughter and chatter from within immediately pierced Ye Xuan's heart.
Luo Qing, oh Luo Qing, to think you would treat me this way!
"Women are deceitful by nature!"
Recollecting the usual gentleness of these women, Ye Xuan's heart ached, and he swore a solemn oath: he would never again place his trust in any woman.
He let out a profound sigh.
Ye Xuan then retrieved his mobile phone and, with firm resolve, dialed Xiao Zhiqing's number.
Speaking of Xiao Zhiqing, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.
During last night's assassination attempt orchestrated by the Wang Family, Ye Xuan had presumed Xiao Zhiqing might also be caught in the crossfire. He had thus instructed Luo Qing to keep a watchful eye on her, as they resided just two doors down in this very villa. Yet, to his astonishment, there had been absolutely no disturbance from Xiao Zhiqing's residence throughout the entire night.
This outcome was certainly not due to Xiao Zhiqing being overlooked. Considering the formidable capabilities of the Wang Family, they would undoubtedly have been aware of her close association with Ye Xuan.
The only logical explanation was that the Wang Family had hesitated to provoke Xiao Zhiqing themselves.
Recalling how effortlessly Xiao Zhiqing used to move in and out of the Li Family's premises, seemingly navigating any situation with ease wherever she was, Ye Xuan found himself perplexed.
Within the world of martial arts, there did not appear to be any prominent family bearing the surname Xiao that commanded such fear, did there?
If Xiao Zhiqing did not hail from the martial arts sphere, then what kind of terrifying power loomed behind her, causing even the Wang Family to tread so cautiously?
Before Ye Xuan could possibly unravel this mystery.
On the other end of the line, Xiao Zhiqing had already picked up.
Upon receiving Ye Xuan's call, Xiao Zhiqing was visibly overjoyed: "Oh my goodness, is that really you calling me? Heavens, my idol actually dialed me first!"
Ye Xuan felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his temple, almost succumbing to the urge to claim he had dialed the wrong number and end the call immediately.
However, he desperately needed her assistance.
Forcing a smile, Ye Xuan began, "Zhiqing, it’s been a while. How have you been lately?"
"Not good at all," Xiao Zhiqing replied with a pout. "These days without seeing my idol are worse than enduring death itself."
Ye Xuan's expression faltered, his disbelief mounting.
"Ahem!"
Ye Xuan quickly steered the conversation in a new direction: "Well... actually, the reason I called you today is because I have a minor query I was hoping you could help me with."
"My idol, you've come to the perfect person for any questions!" Xiao Zhiqing exclaimed. "Recently, I happen to have learned a potent technique, incredibly fierce and remarkably effective. As long as you have the courage, I'm certain the results will be astonishingly good!"
"Really?" Ye Xuan's eyes brightened with anticipation. "Quick, tell me what it is!"
"Listen closely!" Xiao Zhiqing began to meticulously explain her proposed plan.
After hearing her out, Ye Xuan's face shifted to a ghastly green: "Are you absolutely certain this is meant to cure my wife, and not to send me on a one-way trip to meet King Yan?"
"Didn't you ask for something intense?" Xiao Zhiqing giggled. "Though, I do admit it might be a tad extreme. I have several other methods available, but their efficacy might not match this one. Would you like to hear about them?"
Ye Xuan contemplated for a brief moment, then gritted his teeth, declaring, "Without risk, how can one achieve remarkable results? I'll proceed with this plan!"
"My idol, you are truly courageous!" Xiao Zhiqing cheered, then asked coyly, "So... my idol, when will you bestow upon me the promised kiss?"
Ye Xuan froze for a second, then stammered, "The signal here is quite poor."
With that, he decisively terminated the call.
Still reclining in bed, Xiao Zhiqing heard the incessant beeping indicating a disconnected line from her phone. She stood stunned for a moment before finally stamping her foot in frustration.
"You scoundrel, you absolute scoundrel! You didn't keep your word!"
"I will definitely make you kiss me, mark my words!"
...
To ensure no further unforeseen incidents occurred, Ye Xuan made arrangements for Liu Ying to return to the villa and reside there.
Consequently, Luo Qing, who bore the responsibility of safeguarding Lin Tong, also had to remain within the villa premises to guarantee constant protection.
The various peerless beauties coexisted, at least on the surface of their interactions.
At this particular moment, they were all gathered in the downstairs living area, each occupied with their own pursuits.
Luo Qing was sprawled languidly across the sofa, exuding an aura of solitude and unconventionality that perfectly suited her persona.
True masters often carried an air of loneliness.
Meanwhile, Lin Tong and Liu Ying were seated on either side of Little Cloud, their maternal instincts fully engaged as they gently and patiently watched cartoons with the child.
Gurgle!
Amidst their cartoon viewing, Little Cloud's stomach suddenly emitted a couple of audible rumbles.
Little Cloud turned towards Lin Tong, her voice tinged with a hint of pitiable hunger, "Mommy, Little Cloud's tummy feels empty."
"Just a little longer, Little Cloud. Breakfast will be ready very soon," Lin Tong replied with a soft smile. Glancing at the clock, she couldn't help but furrow her brow.
Normally, her usual maid would have breakfast prepared punctually at this hour. Why had no one made an appearance yet today?
Lin Tong made to reach for her phone to inquire about the situation.
Then, abruptly.
Outside, the maid Qiuyue's voice could be heard: "Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Ye, what are you doing? You shouldn't, you really shouldn't!"
The trio of beauties were utterly bewildered.
Then, Ye Xuan's heart-wrenching cry echoed from outside: "Qiuyue, you don't need to pay attention to me. Just act as if you've seen nothing and let me die here!"
Qiuyue's tone grew anxious: "Mr. Ye, please don't be like this! There's no hurdle you cannot overcome. How would Madam and Little Cloud manage if you weren't here?"
Bam!
A resounding crash followed.
Qiuyue shrieked, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye!"
Bam!
Another loud impact.
Qiuyue cried out, "Help, someone help!"
Bam!
The startling noises persisted.
Qiuyue's panicked shouts continued unabated.
Inside the villa, the beauties snapped out of their stupor amid the commotion. Their expressions shifted dramatically, and they hurried outdoors.
Luo Qing moved the quickest, flinging open the front door of the house in an instant.
Upon witnessing Ye Xuan's actions, Luo Qing inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully, Brother Black Emperor is merely putting on an act. While there are many bricks and he's being hard on himself, at most, such impacts would only cause exaggerated superficial injuries.
However, Lin Tong, Liu Ying, and even Little Cloud were stunned by the scene unfolding before them.
What exactly was Ye Xuan doing?
He was practicing the Iron Head Skill!
Seated at the doorway, he had hundreds of bricks arranged before him. He repeatedly snatched bricks, smashing them onto his own head with brutal and relentless force, as if he were intentionally trying to beat himself to death.
He kept muttering, "I hate it! I loathe myself, and I resent this fate!"
"Life is so arduous; I wish to depart from this world. No one should try to stop me; I want to die!"
"Wife, I love you."
"Little Ying, I love you."
"World full of flowers, I love you!"
"Farewell, a forever goodbye!"
Bam, bam, bam!
Ye Xuan shattered more than a dozen bricks in rapid succession.
The scene at the villa's entrance was absolutely astonishing.
It was like a cataclysmic event!
If everyone residing here didn't already know the terrifying extent of Ye Xuan's capabilities, someone would undoubtedly have captured the moment, sparking a massive nationwide sensation.
Countless sensational media outlets would have reported it with headlines such as:
"Man with a Split Personality Smashes His Head at His Doorstep, Bleeding Out and Found Lifeless on the Spot!"
"Shocking Revelation! East Sea Witnesses a Real-Life Iron Head Skill Demonstration!"
"Unbelievable! A Bizarre Figure Appears in a Villa Complex, Engaging in Such Outrageous and Mind-Blowing Acts at His Own Threshold!"
