Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1829 - 1830: Two Rich Ladies Short on Cash?

Yeah, that’s right!

Bo’er, with his Instant Teleportation superpower, is indeed strong as hell. Even for Ye Xuan, it took a lot of effort to finally beat him, but that in itself isn’t what’s truly scary.

Ye Xuan getting hurt isn’t what’s scary either.

The scary thing is the future Ye Xuan saw today!!

After the Martial Arts Tournament, Ye Xuan had already confirmed the existence of a powerful enemy like the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family, and he’d been feeling a lot of pressure ever since. After all, that’s a world where Qi Gong Masters are practically crawling all over the place.

Now mutated people are showing up too, and they’re also coming for the Source Stone. How is anyone supposed to not feel a chill in their heart?

If the future only had these two forces as enemies, that’d still be barely acceptable. What’s terrifying is, this is probably just the beginning!

Who dares guarantee that, besides the Qiao Family and those mutated people, there aren’t other weird and freakishly strong forces eyeing the Source Stone?

After all, not long ago, Ye Xuan had naively thought that as long as he wiped out the Zhao Family and the Holy Mansion, he’d have no enemies left under heaven.

And the result?

He hadn’t even had a full day to rest before even stronger enemies came knocking!

Other people’s futures get brighter after setbacks; their lives improve bit by bit after hardship. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, the more setbacks he goes through, the more they pile up, and the more troublesome they get!

This isn’t the first time Ye Xuan’s wanted to curse his fate...

Lin Tong and the others, seeing Ye Xuan’s dark expression, also realized how serious the implications of this incident were. Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire car cabin turned heavy.

"A man of virtue is not guilty, but he is guilty because of his treasure."

Lin Tong bit down hard on her teeth and said bitterly, "There are too many greedy and evil people in this world. From the moment we obtained the Source Stone, maybe every possibility in the future was already doomed!"

"The value of the Source Stone might be way scarier than we imagined." Liu Ying said in a low, solemn voice as well. "Otherwise, people on the level of the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family wouldn’t go this far and use such despicable means. That mutated guy just now definitely wasn’t some simple character either!"

Leng Qiuge stayed silent.

Because her first instinct was to suggest sending the Source Stone away, letting those forces lurking in the dark tear each other apart and fight to the death for it, each relying on their own abilities—anyway, it wouldn’t have anything to do with them.

But those words, in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say.

It just wasn’t realistic!

The Lin Family had been guarding the Source Stone, and on his deathbed, Old Master Lin had given Lin Tong countless blessings, saying the Lin Family would live and die with the Source Stone. If at this point they got scared of hardship and danger, and obediently handed the Source Stone over with both hands... how badly would that betray the Lin Family ancestors?

To them, personally, maybe it wasn’t such a big deal, but what about Lin Tong?

Obviously, even if everyone knew the Source Stone was a burning hot potato, the only thing they could do was swear to protect it with their lives...

The air stayed oppressive for a long while.

"Since it’s come, let it be."

Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. "We’ve still got a long road ahead of us in life. There’s no way it’s going to be smooth sailing. For now, all we can do is take it one step at a time. Anyway, the Source Stone is ours. No one’s taking it away."

Liu Ying giggled. "We’re all weak little girls. Aside from causing you trouble, we can’t really do anything else. At most... we can die together with you, I guess."

Leng Qiuge said angrily, "So annoying. If I were a super master too, I’d kill every last one of those bastards!"

Ye Xuan burst out laughing and started the car, heading home.

Lin Tong, who’d always been the quiet type, stayed silent the whole way.

Leng Qiuge longed to become a super master; how could Lin Tong not feel the same?

All the way, Lin Tong kept stealing glances at Ye Xuan again and again, a thousand tangled emotions in her heart, impossible to put into words.

The allure of the Source Stone far surpassed anything she’d imagined, and the trouble it had brought them by now had long gone beyond what she could bear.

Looking back on the road they’d walked, if it hadn’t been for Ye Xuan, with just Lin Tong alone, she probably would’ve died who knows how many times already.

There’s no such thing as peaceful years; it’s just that someone is carrying the weight for you as they move forward.

And now, the enemies drawn by the Source Stone were getting stronger and more terrifying. Without Ye Xuan, against the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family, the mutated people, and the many forces that hadn’t even shown up yet, what did a mere Lin Tong have to fight with?

In fact, Lin Tong had thought about giving up—giving up the Source Stone, and giving herself, Ye Xuan, and everyone else a peaceful life. But in the end, she still gave up on that idea.

Because she knew Ye Xuan wouldn’t agree, and neither would Liu Ying or Leng Qiuge.

Saying more would only make her seem hypocritical.

What hurt the most was that as the one who started all this trouble, she could almost do nothing...

In a situation like this, to say she didn’t feel any guilt inside was obviously impossible—especially for someone with Lin Tong’s personality. She just wasn’t willing to say it out loud.

It was as if Ye Xuan sensed Lin Tong’s mood.

He smiled faintly, reached over, and grabbed Lin Tong’s small hand, teasing, "Wifey, brooding and sentimental is so not your style."

Lin Tong froze, then snapped back to herself, her face flushing red. "Who’s brooding and sentimental? Stop talking nonsense."

"Then just treat it as me talking nonsense." Ye Xuan shrugged carelessly and grinned. "But the trouble this Source Stone brings is getting bigger and bigger. I’m working my ass off carrying all this for you. If you don’t think of some way to reward me with something good, that’s kind of unreasonable, don’t you think?"

Lin Tong was stunned.

In the back seat, Liu Ying also laughed sweetly. "Exactly. Thanks to that Source Stone, none of us can sleep peacefully anymore. Xiao Tong, you can’t pretend this has nothing to do with you."

Leng Qiuge chimed in, "Why circle around it with so much nonsense? Give us something real, Xiao Tong. Just tell us how much money you’re giving us. My and Liu Ying’s wallets are seriously tight lately!"

Damn, can these two rich ladies really be short on cash?

Even Lin Tong couldn’t help twitching at the corners of her mouth when she heard that. Her first instinct was to suspect these two demons were stirring up trouble on purpose, but then she suddenly realized—they were just using a different way to ease her guilt and pressure.

A family should stick together, share blessings, and when disaster comes... Ye Xuan will handle it.

"Mm."

Lin Tong gave a faint, almost unnoticeable smile, then immediately put on a straight face. "Just say it. How much do you want?"

Leng Qiuge lit up with joy. "I want ten million. It has to be in my account within three days!"

Liu Ying curled her lip. "With your measly spending power, and you’re asking for ten million? How can I put it—I at least have to go for thirty million, right? Hmm, I’ll ask for fifty million."

Leng Qiuge: "Damn, Liu Ying, have you no shame? This is extortion!"

Liu Ying: "It’s rare to get a chance like this. If I don’t milk it for all it’s worth, I’d be letting myself down. You think everyone’s like you—poor and lacking ambition?"

"Fuck..." Leng Qiuge was pissed and was about to start a catfight with Liu Ying.

Without anyone noticing, the suffocating atmosphere in the car had turned into pure playfulness, as if they’d almost forgotten all those headache-inducing problems.

Ye Xuan secretly sneered at these two demonesses for being vulgar, with no taste.

So he turned to Lin Tong, who had already pulled out her phone to arrange a bank transfer, and flashed what he thought was a very suave smile. "Wifey, I don’t want money, I want you. You..."

Before Ye Xuan could finish his sentence—

Lin Tong’s expression stayed blank as she coldly spat out one word: "Scram."
