Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1857 - 1854: Netherworld Beast’s Recognition
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
The gap widened rapidly.
"Cheep!" A clear cry echoed.
Suddenly, a burst of fiery heat emerged from the egg, and a fluffy chick spread its wings from within, crying out to the sky.
Then, the chick turned its head nimbly, looking at Xu Wendong, with their gaze locking in place.
"Cheep!" The chick let out a sharp cry, excitedly pouncing toward Xu Wendong.
"What is this strange creature?" Xu Wendong was shocked, instinctively stepping back half a step.
The chick, however, pursued relentlessly, flapping its wings vigorously, surprisingly producing mighty flames, causing the surrounding temperature to rise drastically.
"Cheep!" The chick landed on Xu Wendong’s shoulder, affectionately rubbing its head against him, its eyes full of joy.
"Recognizing... as its owner?" Xu Wendong was full of surprise, feeling both shocked and delighted.
In the Netherworld, this kind of beast is known as the Netherworld Beast.
Netherworld Beasts are powerful and ferocious by nature, usually not appearing in populated areas.
Once they appear, they often bring catastrophic disasters.
Yet this chick-like Netherworld Beast before him seemed nowhere near the capability of catastrophic destruction.
"According to memory, people in the Netherworld generally destroy Netherworld Beasts upon encounter, no exceptions." Xu Wendong frowned, pondering silently in his heart.
Netherworld Beasts are seen as symbols of disaster in the Netherworld, hence none would spare them.
But now this Netherworld Beast seemed to highly recognize him, acting particularly affectionate.
Though the flames on it posed a certain threat to Xu Wendong, with careful handling, it shouldn’t cause harm.
"People from the Netherworld fear you; I don’t." Xu Wendong said with a laugh.
He extended a finger, gently teasing the cute chick, then broke off a Nether Crystal from the ground, fed it to the chick.
Yin Energy surfaced instantly, swallowed by the chick in a single gulp.
Magically, as the Nether Crystal entered its belly, the flames on the chick grew denser, its glow shining ever brighter.
"Lin Mo, are you finished?" Zhao Ying’er’s voice came from outside, startling Xu Wendong, his pupils shrinking instantly.
He hurriedly grabbed the chick from his shoulder, carefully tucking it away in his embrace, ensuring it didn’t show at all.
"I’ve finished." Xu Wendong responded immediately.
Soon, Zhao Ying’er walked in, her expression somewhat anxious, seizing Xu Wendong’s hand, saying, "We must leave quickly; this place is unsuitable for a long stay."
At this moment, her Jade Pendant on the waist suddenly glowed with yellow light.
"Not good, the Elder’s summoning ahead of schedule, we need to go to the Heavenly Nether Sect now." Zhao Ying’er said, astonished.
"Ahead of schedule?" Xu Wendong froze, unease brewing inside.
He knew what awaited was Elder Bai of the Heavenly Nether Sect.
Elder Bai had explicitly stated to come get him seven days later.
But now, how many days had it been?
"Such urgency?" Xu Wendong’s brow furrowed, filled with doubt inside.
He knew Elder Bai seemed specifically responsible for trial-related matters.
Now Elder Bai came abruptly, urgently taking people away, fearing some major change happened within the Heavenly Nether Sect.
"Perhaps the trial is advanced." Zhao Ying’er frowned, her eyes brimming with regret.
She glanced at Xu Wendong, eyes filled with reluctant parting.
Originally, she thought she could spend a few more days with Xu Wendong, if given the chance, must attempt Dual Cultivation with him, to enhance own Cultivation Level and deepen mutual feelings.
But unexpectedly, all plans got disrupted by this sudden change.
"Nothing can be done; there’s no escape." Zhao Ying’er sighed helplessly, her tone carrying a sense of powerlessness: "Let’s go back."
With these words, they turned and hurried towards Netherworld City.
At this moment, within the Lin Family in Netherworld City, Family Head Lin Zhen Tian wore a broad smile, warmly welcoming visiting guests.
Elder Bai of the Heavenly Nether Sect visiting himself brought unbounded pride to the Lin Family, as if the entire family were enveloped in a layer of divine brilliance.
The Lin Family disciples, all bowed respectfully, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Elder Bai, you’ve graced us with your presence, truly making our Lin Family’s stature rise."
"I’ve sent someone to notify Lin Mo, he should be here shortly." Lin Zhen Tian lightly bent over, wearing a flattering smile.
In the face of the powerful Heavenly Nether Sect, the Lin Family appeared so insignificant, like a Single-Leaf Flat Boat on the vast sea.
Even with a character like Elder Bai, possessing power to overturn the Lin Family.
"Make haste, time waits for no one." Elder Bai, expressionless, voice cold as ice.
Elder Bai’s strong attitude suffocated the Lin Family members.
Everyone wondered silently, wasn’t it agreed to give seven days to prepare?
Why come so quickly, and so urgently, could something major have happened on the Heavenly Nether Sect?
Not long after.
Only to see Huang Huntuo from the Huang Family arriving quickly.
Heavy dark circles hung under his eyes, appearing tired and exhausted, seemingly undergoing countless ordeals in the past two days.
Following this, Zhao Ying’er and Xu Wendong appeared together too.
"Everyone’s here." Elder Bai’s gaze was sharp, scanning the three swiftly, then stood up, preparing to leave.
Lin Zhen Tian saw this, rushed to Xu Wendong at once.
"Lin Mo, the Family Head has a few words for you." Lin Zhen Tian said, showing a kindly smile, eyes hinting at care.
He took out a Storage Bag from his bosom, handed it to Xu Wendong: "Inside are 200,000 Nether Crystals, a little gesture from our Lin Family."
"Entering the Heavenly Nether Sect, do not disgrace the Lin Family."
"Should you cultivate successfully in the future, do not forget the nurturing grace of our Lin Family."
While speaking, Lin Zhen Tian gently patted Xu Wendong’s shoulder, the motion filled with expectation.
This gesture warmed Xu Wendong slightly inside.
No matter what, the original owner was indeed a Lin Family descendant, now embarking on a journey, the Lin Family members still worried for him, offering support.
Xu Wendong scanned around, yet couldn’t see Lin Yin’s figure, feeling a tinge of loss.
But he didn’t linger, turned and followed Elder Bai, leaving the hall.
Only to see Elder Bai’s hands swiftly forming Hand Seals, dense Yin Energy surged instantly.
This Yin Energy, like a living entity, quickly formed rope-like shapes, directly wrapping around Xu Wendong, Zhao Ying’er, and Huang Huntuo.
Subsequently, Elder Bai exerted force suddenly, taking the three, leaping upward.
Meanwhile, high in the air, a massive Flying Boat had already stopped.
The Flying Boat possessed an ancient design, exuding a mysterious aura.
In just the blink of an eye, the four boarded the Flying Boat, speeding toward the Heavenly Nether Sect.
At the same time.
In the Lin Family’s small courtyard, Lin Yin stood quietly, her eyes shimmering with reluctant light.
She gazed at the sky, muttering softly: "Please come back alive..."
