The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3643 - 3633: Lunatic Xu Shenglong? (Third Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Su Wu flashed a bitter smile toward Xu Shenglong. Who claims demonic beasts cultivate at a sluggish pace? That's merely for the average ones. Those possessing mighty bloodlines advance in cultivation far swifter, even surpassing the top human geniuses!
Xu Shenglong stared at Su Yunyan with burning desire, making no effort to conceal it. Demonic beasts act directly by instinct, and with his position, why bother hiding anyway!
Su Yunyan furrowed her brows faintly, staying silent, her stunning eyes revealing a trace of impatience!
Evidently, she had no desire to remain!
To her, Ye Chen's worth eclipsed Xu Shenglong's by miles. Against Ye Chen's freakish talent, Xu Shenglong amounted to nothing!
Remember, Ye Chen was merely in his twenties this year!
She had escorted Ye Chen here this time, not hoping he'd enter the Star Moon Palace, but simply to create a favorable impression!
Yet now, sending Ye Chen back to the guest quarters alone?
If that's not disregard, then what is?
Besides, her affection for Ye Chen had deepened further!
Noticing this, Elder Yuan Ping grinned at once and remarked, "Young Master Xu speaks correctly. Yunyan, departing right as Young Master Xu shows up would be rather rude. As for your friends, they can head back themselves. The gate disciples will direct them to their rooms for rest."
He shot a scornful look at Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui. With Ye Chen and his friend's level of power, they'd qualify at best as servant-disciples in the Star Moon Palace, or maybe Ye Chen wouldn't even make servant-disciple!
It baffled him how these pair tricked Su Yunyan into letting them try joining the Star Moon Palace!
Fine, allow their entry; weaklings like Ye Chen and his pal wouldn't survive long in the Star Moon Palace anyway.
But Su Yunyan intending to slight Young Master Xu over these two?
That's crossing the line!
Nan Fengyin stayed quiet, yet obviously agreed with Yuan Ping, and even Su Wu, who spoiled his granddaughter, felt the same!
Ye Chen and his friend entering the Star Moon Palace was solely due to Su Yunyan. Offending Xu Shenglong for Ye Chen, though? Far too costly!
Right then, Ye Chen smiled faintly at Su Yunyan and stated, "It’s fine, we’ll leave on our own."
In every realm, respect ties directly to power: in Huaxia, it's riches and influence; in the Martial Cultivation World, raw strength!
Given Ye Chen's frail look, the contempt from Nan Fengyin and the rest was expected. He brushed it off without care.
"But..."
Su Yunyan bit her lower lip upon hearing him, eyes brimming with reluctance, then turned to Chen Mingyu behind Wu Fei and instructed, "Mingyu, please escort Young Master Ye and his friends out."
Chen Mingyu's face darkened instantly with irritation. He sneered at Ye Chen and retorted, "Senior Sister Su, is that really needed? Can't they find their own way?"
As an inner sect disciple of the Star Moon Palace, why should he babysit a puny Heavenly God Realm kid?
Besides, chances to bond with the Nine Saint Demon Sect Demon Emperor's nephew were rare. Befriending Xu Shenglong now could boost his prospects hugely!
Chen Mingyu refused to ditch that shot for some nobody!
A flicker of fury crossed Su Yunyan's lovely features; she was truly furious!
Why can't anyone grasp Ye Chen's true worth?
She sensed that offending Ye Chen today might leave the Star Moon Palace bowing to him someday!
The Star Moon Palace was already waning, on the verge of losing its status among major powers!
Ye Chen offered the perfect shot at revival for the Star Moon Palace!
All present caught Su Yunyan's look, exchanging baffled glances, clueless why she valued these two so highly.
Ye Chen kept quiet, just turning to exit alongside Jin Shuhui.
He refused to put Su Yunyan in a tough spot.
But suddenly, a thunderous yell echoed through the hall!
Xu Shenglong's gaze blazed wildly, resembling a feral beast as he bellowed at Ye Chen, "Boy, stop right there! Does Yunyan fancy you? Planning to snatch my woman?"
Xu Shenglong had also spotted Su Yunyan's expression!
Yet to a demonic beast's simple mind, that meant affection!
Why else would Su Yunyan fuss over Ye Chen so much?
His words stunned the entire room...
Even Ye Chen wore an odd expression facing Xu Shenglong. Demonic beasts truly thought differently...
Still, he responded coolly, "You’ve misunderstood."
With that, he resumed striding toward the exit.
However, once a demonic beast fixes on an idea, shifting it proves tough?
He dashed to Ye Chen's side in a flash, clamping a hand on Ye Chen's shoulder while snarling, "Trying to flee? Since Yunyan favors you, I, the Young Master, must challenge you right here to prove who's superior. No escaping! Top women go to the mightiest!"
A deafening crash erupted; as Xu Shenglong lunged, gales whipped up, churning the air across the Star Moon Palace and quaking the floor!
This revealed the horrifying power in that shoulder grab aimed at Ye Chen!
Yuan Ping and Chen Mingyu watched oddly; this kid was toast. Though Xu Shenglong meant no death, demonic beasts overdid force, and a mere grab like that could obliterate thousands of Holy Ancestor realm experts!
But!
Instantly after, as the hand landed on Ye Chen's shoulder, something shocking happened!
Ye Chen merely creased his brow, shrugged his shoulder casually, and flung off Xu Shenglong’s power-packed grip?
No one could trust what their eyes saw...
This Heavenly God Realm youth not only survived unscathed but repelled Xu Shenglong’s hand!
What did that mean?
It meant Ye Chen's power matched or exceeded Xu Shenglong's!
Naturally, Xu Shenglong hadn't gone all-out...
Still, shrugging off that grip at Heavenly God Realm was heaven-defying enough!
Ye Chen eyed Xu Shenglong again and repeated, "You’ve really misunderstood. There’s nothing special between Miss Su and me."
Then he kept moving for the door.
Xu Shenglong gaped at his own hand in shock, then blocked Ye Chen's path once more. Gazing seriously at Ye Chen, he declared, "I never thought you'd be such a strong rival. No wonder Yunyan likes you. I got sloppy before. Grant me one more shot!"
Ye Chen felt speechless; this fellow just wouldn't hear reason, huh?
