Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1832 - 1833: An Ancient Tomb
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
There’s an attack!
Ye Xuan, who had just witnessed the Great Thousand World, was already in a tense mood. Suddenly, he felt a chilling presence behind him and was shocked.
His body shook violently.
Boom!
A vast and fierce stream of energy instantly erupted from Ye Xuan’s body, carrying immense force.
Clang!
In the air, there was the sound of a weapon shattering, accompanied by a woman’s muffled groan of pain.
Immediately afterward, there was another commotion, likely from the attacker being thrown into a nearby small coffee table.
The coffee table shattered into pieces.
Ye Xuan swiftly pursued, reaching out to grab the delicate, smooth neck of the assailant, ready to exert force.
A familiar scent entered Ye Xuan’s nostrils.
Though the room was pitch dark, that familiar scent was enough for Ye Xuan to instantly recognize the other person’s identity.
Ye Xiaoying!!
"What the hell!"
Ye Xuan cursed loudly, quickly releasing Ye Xiaoying, suddenly feeling uneasy: "Ye Xiaoying, what the hell are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan went to turn on the light.
The light illuminated the room once again.
Ye Xuan then saw a mark near the light switch where it had been hit by a pebble, indicating that Ye Xiaoying had thrown a stone from outside to turn off the light and ambushed Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan turned to see Ye Xiaoying dressed in tight leather.
She held a short sword, standing gracefully with a full-bodied and alluring figure that was stunning in any scenario. The trace of blood at the corner of her mouth and the pallor of her face showed Ye Xuan that although his Qigong was far from full-strength, it still caused her significant injury.
The gap between ordinary masters and Qigong masters is truly like a chasm.
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, his heart filled with guilt and anguish, and he yelled: "Ye Xiaoying, what are you trying to do? Do you know you were almost dead just now!!"
Seeing Ye Xuan’s reddened eyes, Ye Xiaoying was momentarily stunned.
Was he... was he concerned about her?
A flicker of hesitation passed through Ye Xiaoying’s beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained composure.
No, he wasn’t concerned about her, just because of past sentiments. If he mistakenly killed her, he would feel guilty for life, hence his anger.
Ye Xiaoying’s delicate eyebrows moved as she stubbornly and calmly gazed at Ye Xuan: "I already said, you are my enemy now, and I will definitely kill you."
"You should act within your capabilities, shouldn’t you?" Ye Xuan snapped angrily: "Do you still not understand your own limits? Turning off the light to kill me, aren’t you afraid I wouldn’t recognize you and kill you accidentally?"
"If I want to kill you, why fear death?" Ye Xiaoying retorted calmly: "You won, my assassination failed, now kill me."
"I..."
Ye Xuan was speechless and couldn’t say anything.
He wasn’t afraid of Ye Xiaoying’s unreasonable actions nor her fury that could lead to a deadly fight, but her indifferent attitude towards life and death was terrifying.
Ye Xiaoying, what’s wrong with you? What are you trying to do?
Ye Xuan was overwhelmed, one of the few times in his life he felt this way.
"If you can’t do it, then say the word, and I’ll do it myself." Ye Xiaoying coldly looked at Ye Xuan and said.
As she said this, she raised her short sword to cut her own throat, sincerely attempting it.
"Enough!"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was enraged, and with a flick of his finger, a stream of energy flew out and sent Ye Xiaoying’s short sword flying.
Ye Xiaoying felt pain in her hand but gritted her teeth, not making a sound.
Ye Xuan’s eyes turned crimson as he glared furiously at Ye Xiaoying, shouting: "Ye Xiaoying, what are you trying to do? I ask you, what are you trying to do?!"
This time, Ye Xuan was almost shouting.
It was rage, sheer fury!
Yet Ye Xiaoying faced Ye Xuan’s frantic demeanor with unchanged expression, quietly looking at him, saying nothing, doing nothing.
As if trying to see through his heart, wanting to know why he was this angry.
Ye Xuan looked down at Ye Xiaoying, fearlessly meeting her gaze, yearning to enter her mind... no, enter her heart to understand what she was truly thinking.
Alone, a man and a woman, confined in a room.
The atmosphere was tense and suffocating, confronting each other, ready for conflict.
Ye Xuan never imagined that Ye Xiaoying, who once claimed she wanted to kill him, would really attempt it, akin to suicidal assassination.
And Ye Xiaoying was filled with turmoil, haunted by the past.
She wanted to ask Ye Xuan if she had a place in his heart?
But she wouldn’t ask.
She already knew the answer, yet what’s true or false only Ye Xuan knew.
She was afraid to ask because she feared Ye Xuan wouldn’t even give her a false answer.
In his heart, there’s no space left for her, is there?
Otherwise, why did he leave her waiting all night on Chinese New Year’s Eve, not coming?
If she were in his heart, wouldn’t they have spontaneously met at the gate of East City Elementary, as in previous New Year’s Eves?
After a long while.
Ye Xiaoying’s eyes flickered, ultimately letting her emotions flee from Ye Xuan’s gaze, lowering her eyelids, and speaking softly: "There’s nothing to do, no reason, I wanted to kill you, so I came."
Thinking of you, I came...
Ye Xuan felt both toothache and lung pain.
Furiously scratching and clawing, feeling angry yet utterly helpless, losing his calm and descending into madness.
At this moment.
The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Ye Xuan didn’t hear it.
Ye Xiaoying glancing toward him, softly reminded: "You have a call."
Ye Xuan finally noticed.
"Whew—"
He exhaled deeply, trying his best to manage his emotions, picked up the phone to see Chi Lian calling.
Chi Lian, Ye Lang, and others had been busy recently, purging the Holy Mansion remnants with the Divine Weapon. This sudden call must be important.
"Stay where you are, tonight I must find out what you’re thinking!"
Ye Xuan shot a fierce look at Ye Xiaoying, then answered the call: "What’s going on?"
"Brother Black Emperor, we found a big treasure in Yan Country’s northwest!" Chi Lian’s voice came, exuding excitement and enthusiasm.
"What treasure?" Ye Xuan asked casually.
"Not clear yet, it seems to be an ancient tomb!" Chi Lian spoke solemnly: "This treasure has attracted many people, all of them are very strange and extremely powerful!"
