The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3645 - 3635: Saint Heir
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Xu Shenglong lowered his head deeply right then, addressing him with profound respect, "Lord Holy Son, I was blind and offended you, please punish me!"
His fists gripped tightly, eyes burning with unyielding resolve, as though prepared to embrace death itself!
Holy Son?
Ye Chen turned to Xuan Han Yu, unable to hold back his question, "Fairy Xuan, do you know what he is talking about?"
Xuan Han Yu paused briefly in thought before replying, "The demonic beast factions in the Outer Realm form a tangled web. Demonic beasts across domains frequently link up, unlike humans who hold domain borders in such high regard.
They trade goods freely among themselves.
So, if my judgment holds, the Holy Son he mentions hails from the sacred grounds of the Outer Realm's demonic beasts! That very demonic beast holy land is the Mystic Demon True Realm within the Heavenly Human Domain!
The Mystic Demon True Realm stands as a realm forged together by ancient demon overlords in the Heavenly Human Domain. Entry demands no pedigree, power, or martial gifts! Bloodline alone counts!
Possessing the Supreme demon bloodline grants not just access to the Mystic Demon True Realm but supreme standing across the Outer Realm, particularly among demonic beasts!
After all, bloodline forms the core of demonic beast existence, and those in the Mystic Demon True Realm shape the destiny of all demonic beasts! Disrespecting them defies the whole demonic beast lineage!
These beings go by the name Xuan Yao Saint Child, and this fellow likely took you for the Xuan Yao Saint Child due to your Heavenly Demon Energy!"
The Heavenly Demon Bloodline came to Ye Chen from the Divine Kingdom, yet even in the Outer Realm, it eclipses most demonic beasts!
Ye Chen responded coolly to Xu Shenglong after hearing this, "I am not some Xuan Yao Saint Child, you misunderstood."
With those words, he spun around and departed.
Xu Shenglong froze at the statement, tears welling in his golden eyes as he bowed low to Ye Chen, "I, Xu Shenglong, will eternally cherish the Holy Son's grace today!"
Ye Chen glanced back at Xu Shenglong like he was beholding an idiot—what was happening here?
This weirdo truly believed he was the Xuan Yao Saint Child? And grace? From where?
Yet Xu Shenglong's mix-up stemmed not just from his stubborn nature but solid grounds too.
First off, the Mystic Demon True Realm stays shrouded in secrecy among demonic beasts, unknown to most—in the Moon Soul Domain, only the Demon Emperor's bloodline from the Nine Saint Demon Sect dares utter its name!
If Ye Chen weren't the Xuan Yao Saint Child, how could he know of the Mystic Demon True Realm?
Thus, to Xu Shenglong, Ye Chen had to be the Xuan Yao Saint Child!
Ye Chen's denial arose from his merciful heart, sparing Xu Shenglong punishment!
Crossing a Holy Son among demonic beasts carries a steep toll!
That's why Ye Chen rejected his true identity!
Just as Ye Chen poised to strike, he withdrew his fist abruptly. Wasn't that the clearest evidence?
Xu Shenglong's golden gaze shimmered as he whispered to himself, "See, the Holy Son's eyes now gleam with approval? I, Xu Shenglong, nailed it after all!"
With that realization, Xu Shenglong felt no regret, only surging emotion with tears streaming!
He'd long heard elders describe the Xuan Yao Saint Child as loftily arrogant and untouchable, yet who'd imagine encountering such a compassionate Holy Son in his days?
Xu Shenglong gazed at Ye Chen like a timeless sovereign sage, heart swelling with boundless reverence, when suddenly fierce determination ignited in his eyes, thinking inwardly:
"Only a prodigy like the Holy Son deserves to lead my demonic beast kin. I, Xu Shenglong, humbled and graced by the Holy Son, must repay with my life, backing the Holy Son to claim the demonic beast throne!"
The throne meant not the Nine Saint Demon Sect's Demon Emperor seat, but the ultimate ruler over the entire Outer Realm—the Demon Clan's Saint Emperor!
Through history, Demon Clan's Saint Emperors emerged solely from the Mystic Demon True Realm, and now in Xu Shenglong's eyes, Ye Chen alone merited the Saint Emperor's seat!
Xu Shenglong bowed profoundly to Ye Chen once more, declaring, "Please, Lord Holy Son, permit this subordinate to serve at your side!"
Ye Chen eyed Xu Shenglong with utter helplessness, waving dismissively, "Do as you wish... just don’t call me Holy Son, my name is Ye Chen."
He lacked the energy to clarify further; given Xu Shenglong's temperament, any explanation might backfire worse.
Xu Shenglong leaped up thrilled at the words, affirming, "Yes!"
Ah, Lord Holy Son wandering solo in the Moon Soul Domain—if his secret slipped out, peril would follow! He had been far too bold!
Xu Shenglong marveled once again, "Lord Holy Son boasts unmatched virtue and might, plus demonic wits beyond compare. For I, Xu Shenglong, to trail Young Master Ye is fortune from countless lives!"
Next, he bowed to Su Yunyan in apology, "I’m sorry, Fairy Su, I didn’t know you were Young Master Ye’s woman, from now on, I will not have any improper thoughts about you!"
Su Yunyan stood there, gaping at Xu Shenglong in shock, too stunned to deny it!
Then Xu Shenglong fixed Nangong with a grave stare, intoning severely, "Lord Nangong, today's happenings, above all Young Master Ye’s identity, must stay hidden from all, or I swear the Nine Saint Demon Sect—and the full demon race—will clash to the death with your Star Moon Palace!"
Finished, he dashed after Ye Chen, yelling, "Young Master, Young Master Ye, wait for me!"
Star Moon Palace members wore dazed looks; even Su Yunyan never foresaw this twist!
How had Ye Chen turned into a Holy Son overnight?
Nangong bellowed at Su Wu, "Sage-like old man, if Young Master Ye and that Jin Immortal seek to join Star Moon Palace, elevate them to true disciples at once, and I'll mentor them myself—got it!"
Whatever Ye Chen's origins, subduing Xu Shenglong like this marked him as extraordinary!
In a flash, Star Moon Palace's view of Ye Chen flipped entirely!
Chen Mingyu, earlier mocking Ye Chen, now quaked in terror—how could a lowly disciple withstand offending such a titan?
Only Su Yunyan wore a strange expression, her lovely features etched with doubt.
...
Ye Chen sipped Spiritual Tea, a helpless grin on his lips, eyeing Xu Shenglong who clutched a teapot at his side like a dutiful attendant, leaving him speechless...
This fellow had fully embraced the servant role?
Nearby, even the typically icy Jin Shuhui showed a faint smile on her stunning face.
This Xu Shenglong was truly a gem...
