The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3501: Give Me Blood! (Seventh Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Wu You wrinkled her dainty nose, then her lovely eyes suddenly sparkled, turning toward Ye Chen's location with a look as if she'd spotted a tempting treat.
The blood of Ye Chen holds an unbeatable allure for the Blood Family!
But as Wu You realized who possessed this enticing aroma, her face shifted a bit!
Clearly, she hadn't anticipated running into Ye Chen in this place!
Climbing from Lingwu Continent to the Outer Realm in so little time is remarkably tough; in all of history, only a handful have pulled it off. Who could've guessed they'd encounter their rival from the Immortal Ascension Competition right here in the Outer Realm?
Ye Chen observed Wu You's behavior and gave a faint smile. This girl from the Blood Family hadn't changed, still appearing eager to devour him whole.
Still, the pair quietly agreed to stay quiet.
Jue Ming asked: "Who are you, fairy? How come you're on Juming Island?"
Wu You glanced at Jue Ming and quickly resumed her icy chill, replying coolly: "Wu You."
With those words, she turned her simple palm, and a remnant artifact radiating powerful spiritual pressure materialized in her grasp.
Hua Ling, Zhuipo, and the rest caught sight of it and felt a surge of happiness!
Right at the crucial instant, Wu You had shown up?
This boosted their odds of accessing Juesha Heaven tremendously, and thoughts of that Tian Sha Qi set everyone's gazes burning with excitement!
Jue Ming drew in a steady breath and declared: "With all the Six Evil Inheritors assembled, we can't waste time—let's head out right away!"
As he finished, a serpentine spear emerged in his hold, faintly shrouded by the silhouette of a massive python, releasing a highly toxic spiritual energy!
A glint of sharpness flickered in Jue Ming's eyes as he targeted a specific spot, thrusting forward swiftly; the spear lanced out, the huge python writhed, absolute cold aura spread everywhere, the Snake Spear tore through, shattering the Void and instantly tearing open a spatial tear!
The group shifted their forms, and in moments, they all plunged into that spatial tear!
Following a disorienting spin, the party landed in a sandy expanse glowing in golden hues!
Overhead in the clear blue sky, devoid of any clouds, shockingly nineteen suns dangled in the heavens!
All nineteen of these suns burned fiercely and shone brilliantly, soaking the whole desert in their rays, making the atmosphere feel like it might burst into flames!
The heat in this area defies simple description!
If a regular person stepped here, they'd probably dissolve in an instant, wouldn't they?
Yet for Ye Chen and his companions, this intense warmth posed little threat, causing at worst a little extra perspiration.
Hua Ling and Zhuipo scanned their surroundings, their features lighting up with subtle delight.
This wasteland matches the accounts from the Six Evil long ago. The Six Evil dubbed it the Raging Sun Desert, a region bordering Juesha Heaven!
Once in the Raging Sun Desert, Jue Ming pulled out the Tian Sha Order without a word; it served not just as the key to unlock Juesha Heaven but also as the directional tool to locate it!
Jue Ming instructed the group, "Pull out your Tian Sha Orders, then travel across the Raging Sun Desert. Wherever a Tian Sha Order responds, that's the entry to Juesha Heaven!"
At his words, the others produced their Tian Sha Orders and scattered, soaring off in various paths through the Raging Sun Desert.
Ye Chen watched the route Wu You took, a flicker in his eyes, before he followed the same path.
Before long, just Ye Chen and Wu You lingered nearby.
Wu You halted, spun around, her Blood Eyes locking onto Ye Chen with frigid intensity, her face ashen and devoid of feeling, as if she felt a touch unwell.
Ye Chen noticed and creased his brow a tad. Had Wu You gotten the wrong idea, thinking he meant her harm? Why that expression?
Ye Chen had trailed her only to warn about watching out for Jue Ming, since they both came from Lingwu Continent and had crossed paths before; unlike the other Six Evil Inheritors, Ye Chen sensed an odd connection with Wu You.
Naturally, should Wu You brush it off, Ye Chen would drop the matter.
But right then, the young woman's face before Ye Chen darkened abruptly, and the blood energy surrounding her burst forth!
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, bracing for action, yet the following instant left him frozen.
The Blood Family maiden ahead of him parted her lips all at once, coughing up a torrent of blood!
Her skin grew even whiter, her slender frame weakened, and she slumped straight into the sands.
Ye Chen rushed to catch the tumbling Wu You, gaping in shock at the unconscious girl cradled against him.
What had happened?
Wu You right now resembled someone hit by heat exhaustion, but warriors at the Holy Ancestor Realm could flip the world upside down or shatter realms with a flick—who among them would suffer heat stroke?
Heat stroke?
All of a sudden, a realization dawned on Ye Chen. He lifted his gaze to those scorching suns above, his features showing sudden understanding.
The Blood Family inherently dreads sunlight; typical blood kin would face grave wounds or incineration from ordinary daylight, so imagine nineteen suns?
Although Wu You possessed a rare build as the Blood Family's exceptional Daywalker, even she strained against the onslaught from these nineteen suns.
Ye Chen gave a helpless grin and questioned Wu You: "Are you okay?"
Wu You breathed heavily and whispered: "Blood, I need blood..."
Blood?
Ye Chen's forehead furrowed lightly; he paused briefly, then golden radiance flowed from his palm, nicking his finger so a droplet of blood drifted to Wu You's faintly open mouth.
The second that droplet entered Wu You's mouth, her shut eyes flew wide, her Blood Eyes gleaming vividly!
The blood energy encircling her, which had seemed to fade, abruptly grew denser!
Seeing this, even Ye Chen stood a little stunned...
He was aware his blood counted as a Supreme Treasure, where one drop rivaled a top-tier healing elixir, but how had it acted like a revitalizing tonic for Wu You?
Right now, a faint flush colored Wu You's lovely cheeks, her eyes hazy with craving as she clung fast to Ye Chen's arm, her gaze fixed on him with yearning, like she was pleading "I want it, I want more..."
This...
Awareness dawned on Ye Chen's face, words like that carrying heavy implications back in Huaxia.
Plus, he'd heard the Blood Family excelled in the arts of intimacy between partners...
Yet moments later, Wu You regained her poise, shot Ye Chen a puzzled look, then let out a sharp cry and promptly let go of his arm.
Briefly, silence hung between them.
A bit later, Wu You spoke up first: "Thanks for helping me before..."
With that, she even ran her tongue over her lips, showing a trace of satisfied aftertaste.
Ye Chen cleared his throat awkwardly and replied: "No trouble, you feeling better now?"
Wu You grinned: "Your blood's quite unique; I'm recovered."
Ye Chen dipped his head: "Glad to hear it. I came after you just to caution about Jue Ming."
Wu You's face grew grave at his words: "You picked up on it too—that Jue Ming's aura feels off."
