Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1617: When Has Someone Like Me Ever Run Out of Goods?

The account shared is factual.

Naturally, Ye Xuan did not fabricate this tale. His intention in recounting it was twofold: firstly, to foster a deeper connection with Lin Tong, and secondly, to enact a cunning strategem that would secure her complete devotion.

Who insists that one must engineer guilt for such a purpose?

Persuasion through logic and stirring emotions through empathy—that is the true path to success!

Once Ye Xuan had laid bare his soul, would it be long before Lin Tong dropped all her defenses?

...

As Ye Xuan and Lin Tong emerged from the kitchen,

Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying, who remained seated in the living area, were utterly taken aback upon seeing Lin Tong’s tear-streaked face and slightly swollen, beautiful eyes.

This... this actually made her weep?

Ye Xuan, have you no regard for a woman's feelings?

Witnessing Lin Tong in her delicate, tearful state, both Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying were astounded.

How formidable and proud is Lin Tong?

She is acclaimed as Yangcheng's most stunning woman, a 'no-cry goddess' in the eyes of innumerable men—a remarkable individual who would not shed a tear even if the heavens themselves crumbled.

What profound sorrow could possibly compel such a woman to weep?

"Ye Xuan, that was incredibly cruel, wasn't it?"

Leng Qiuge, having just regained her composure, looked at Lin Tong with deep sympathy: "Little Tong is such a fragile beauty; how could you bear to inflict such pain? This... this is your wife we're discussing!"

"Ye Xuan, you’ve truly crossed the line this time."

Liu Ying shifted her gaze from Lin Tong to Ye Xuan, her expression equally disapproving.

Excessively cruel, utterly heartless!

Look at the state you’ve reduced little Tong to! At this juncture, where is the dignity and grace that befits a goddess?

Ye Xuan, upon hearing the accusations from these two women, felt a surge of shock and indignation: "What on earth are you two talking about? What did I do? Why does it sound as though I’m some irredeemable brute?"

"You..."

The loyal Leng Qiuge, her indignation rising, stood with the intention of defending Lin Tong, of having a candid discussion with Ye Xuan and reasoning with him.

However, at that precise moment, Liu Ying quickly restrained Leng Qiuge, letting out a bitter laugh and shaking her head: "That's enough, Qiuge. It's all in the past now; dwelling on it further is pointless, and it's not our place to interfere too deeply."

Liu Ying reasoned that, regardless of how harsh or unconventional Ye Xuan’s actions might have been that evening, it was a matter between him and Lin Tong. And while everyone might be aware, bringing these matters to light would only create an exceptionally awkward atmosphere.

What right do they possess to comment on the affairs between Ye Xuan and Lin Tong?

After all, they are the legally recognized couple!

"I..."

Leng Qiuge, still somewhat resistant, but deterred by Liu Ying’s steady gaze, ultimately opted for a more rational approach and resettled herself on the sofa with a huff, her emotions a bewildering mix.

Lin Tong regarded Liu Ying and Leng Qiuge with a peculiar look, feeling utterly perplexed.

What was the matter with these two unsupportive spirits? Why were they reprimanding Ye Xuan in such a manner?

Having just experienced an intense emotional release, Lin Tong’s cognitive faculties had not yet fully returned, and she gave the situation little further thought at that moment. She blinked her beautiful eyes and inquired, "Where is little Yun Duo?"

"She's gone to sleep," Leng Qiuge replied dismissively.

Isn’t that self-evident?

You two were openly engaged in such activities; little Yun Duo is merely a child, so naturally, we had to arrange for her to return to her room to rest.

Of course, neither Leng Qiuge nor Liu Ying felt the need to elaborate further. After escorting little Yun Duo back to her room, the pair had swiftly descended the stairs once more, harboring a clandestine curiosity and an eagerness to glean some details of the preceding events.

If little Tong knew about this, she would likely be beside herself with rage!

Lin Tong pursed her lips, remaining silent for a moment, then turned her attention to Ye Xuan and spoke gently: "Husband, I have kept my promise to you. Now, can you tell me what reward you desire?"

What?

Both Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying were stunned.

Little Tong, who would have imagined you’d have such inclinations!

Ye Xuan reduced you to this state, and you still inquire about the reward he seeks? What does it mean? Did you reach the absolute peak of suffering while simultaneously experiencing immense happiness and satisfaction?

One truly cannot judge a book by its cover.

Leng Qiuge, in particular, felt a chilling wave of retrospective understanding wash over her.

Who could have predicted that Lin Tong would harbor such desires... Fortunately, she hadn't voiced overly harsh criticisms towards Ye Xuan earlier; otherwise, little Tong wouldn't be grateful, she might even hold it against her!

What is happening in this world? Little Tong, you have lost your way!

"Reward?"

Regardless of the intense internal monologues of the two women, Ye Xuan remained entirely oblivious to them at this moment.

He tilted his head, giving it some thought before a gentle smile touched his lips: "Honestly, I don't really desire any reward. If I had to pick something, it's quite simple really: your happiness every single day is the greatest reward for me."

Lin Tong was taken aback, her heart overflowing with emotion, nearly bringing her to tears once more.

Ye Xuan, why are you so wonderful? How could I be so fortunate?

I must remain strong, I cannot shed any more tears; if I cry, he will be heartbroken!

"Hu——"

Lin Tong softly exhaled, composing herself from the emotional surge. She then gazed intently at Ye Xuan and declared, "Husband, I promise you, I will absolutely be happy every day!"

Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying exchanged astonished glances yet again.

Little Tong, you've truly transformed; you've becomeshameless and unabashed, uttering such affectionate words before us!

Ye Xuan chuckled, affectionately stroking Lin Tong's soft, wavy hair. "It's getting late; go to your room and get some rest. You have work tomorrow."

"Okay! You get some rest early too!"

Lin Tong nodded emphatically, turning to leave. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. She quickly turned back, planted a swift kiss on Ye Xuan's cheek, and then shyly hurried upstairs.

Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying were utterly dumbfounded.

Good heavens.

Is this still the Little Tong we know?

Where is the promised aloof ice queen, the goddess who never cried?

This is simply... a girl utterly smitten!

Recalling how Ye Xuan had led Lin Tong into the kitchen not long ago, everything unfolding now felt surreal and almost unbelievable.

Could it be true, the hearsay about a certain type of woman who, once awakened, becomes unstoppable? She throws caution to the wind, completely shedding her former reserved and modest demeanor, transforming into a wild entity, much like a wolf?

I have truly lived to witness this spectacle!

Lin Tong vanished up the stairs, followed by the distinct sound of a door closing from above.

Ye Xuan's gentle smile gradually faded. He then turned his attention to the two stunned women, Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying, who were still lost in their amazement. A playful grin spread across his face. "You two seemed to have quite a few thoughts about me just moments ago, didn't you?"

The pair quickly snapped back to the present reality.

Liu Ying shamelessly appraised Ye Xuan a couple of times, then began to giggle. "Ye Xuan, you rascal, you truly are something else! You've actually managed to change Little Tong into this. I must admit, I underestimated you previously!"

"What else is there to say?" Ye Xuan shrugged, his face beaming with pride. "Who knows my wife better than I do?"

Leng Qiuge, being more direct, stated, "Alright, I concede you have your ways. But don't forget about your concubines once you've secured your wife. Is there any 'stock' available for tonight? I deliberately kept you away from my room yesterday, ensuring you'd be in peak condition for tonight's battle!"

Ye Xuan’s eyebrows shot up with vigor. "When has Ye ever been out of stock? Tonight, my mood is excellent. If we don't go at it for three hundred rounds, I won't be satisfied!"
