Medical Sage

The dead silence lasted for a long time before someone spoke hoarsely.

”W-what should we do?”

What should we do?

Everyone looked at each other in silence; no one answered.

These methods, even in their eyes, to put it bluntly, were enough to scare them witless. But if they really wanted their leader to kneel and apologize in Chengyang...

Where’s the dignity!?

The White Snake Sect Leader remained silent with a sullen face, and everyone else exchanged glances without daring to bring up the topic again.

...

Meanwhile, in Chengyang County.

In the morning, sunlight filtered through the window into their bedroom. Chen Fei woke up leisurely.

”Mm... honey...” Feeling Chen Fei’s subtle movements as he woke up, Pei Wanning also shivered slightly, opening her eyes in a daze and murmured softly. She rubbed them clean.

”The sun’s almost shining on us and you’re still sleeping... get up.” Chen Fei chuckled, reached out to pat the curves of Pei Wanning’s impressive body, and got up to head out of the bedroom.

”Oh, alright... I’ll go brush my teeth...” Pei Wanning displayed a sweet smile and got up, following him out of the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, Lin Ling was cleaning.

”Mom, you’re up so early?” Chen Fei said with a smile.

”Ah, hello Aunt,” Pei Wanning hurriedly tidied her appearance, blushing as she greeted.

”Why still call me Aunt... call me Mom.” Lin Ling looked at Pei Wanning and smiled.

”Ah, I, I... Auntie, can I really call you, call you...”

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanning’s expression immediately became excited, her eyes looking at Lin Ling.

These days Lin Ling had never mentioned this, and she thought maybe there was some dissatisfaction with her.

Saying this, she couldn’t help but cast an excited glance at Chen Fei, somewhat seeking reassurance.

”What’s the hesitation for?” Chen Fei reached out to rub her smooth hair, smiling as he said, ”My mom doesn’t easily agree to things. Miss this chance, and you’ll never get another...”

”Mom!” Pei Wanning quickly clasped her hands together, blushing and calling out softly.

Afterward, seemingly feeling her voice was a bit too quiet, her pretty face turned a shade of red, almost like it was about to smoke. She couldn’t help but call out again with a bit more volume: ”Mom~”

”Ah~ good daughter-in-law, wouldn’t you want to rest a little more since it’s so early? You little rascal, since you’re up, why don’t you join me to buy groceries?” Lin Ling felt immensely pleased hearing Pei Wanning call her mom, reached out, held Pei Wanning’s hands, and showed concern.

She then glared sideways at her son.

”Ah? Go grocery shopping?” Chen Fei instantly looked miserable upon hearing this... He really disliked grocery shopping, but now he was grown up, and once Lin Ling spoke, he couldn’t outright refuse.

”Oh, you’re such a brat, what’s with that face, honestly...” Knowing her son best, Lin Ling saw his expression and knew what her son was thinking. She rolled her eyes.

”Hehe, mom, isn’t it that... hehe... you know me.” Chen Fei chuckled with a face full of smiles.

”Mom, what if I go with you?” Pei Wanning couldn’t help but interject. Even though she, as a privileged daughter, wasn’t keen on grocery shopping, she seemed more afraid to upset her mother-in-law.

”Alright, alright, my daughter-in-law is so pretty; how could I bear to let you go to the market... Forget it, I’m too lazy to go; let’s eat out for lunch.” Lin Ling quickly shook her head and smiled.

”Long live mom.” Chen Fei exaggeratedly laughed upon hearing this.

Pei Wanning also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just then, Lin Ling suddenly spoke up again: ”Let’s go out for a walk.”

”A walk? Sure!” Chen Fei quickly nodded, and the three of them set off.

Their destination was Emerald Lake Dike. As one of the most famous scenic spots in Chengyang County, Emerald Lake has become increasingly beautiful and fully developed.

By the side of Emerald Lake, in the crowded areas, there’s a lakeside dike where many people stroll. It takes about ten minutes on foot from their neighborhood to get there.

”Emerald Lake.” Staring at the boundless beautiful lake, Chen Fei’s eyes flickered slightly as he remembered his childhood. He reminisced about the demon serpent beneath Emerald Lake and the Jinchan Moon Fruit...

”Hey, isn’t this just right?” Suddenly, Chen Fei clapped his hands, his eyes lighting up.

”What is it, honey?” Pei Wanning asked, hanging onto Chen Fei’s arm with curiosity.

”I thought of a perfect place for Corpse Refining.” Chen Fei said with a smile.

”Refining corpses? Is that the one you brought back earlier? The power of that corpse is so weak, I could easily crush it...” Pei Wanning paused, sniffed, and said.

”How could my obedient wife not be impressive?” Chen Fei laughed, pinched Pei Wanning’s delicate nose, and said, ”But this thing is just for fun. Sometimes when I’m too lazy to take action, it might come in handy.”

”That’s true...” Pei Wanning seemed thoughtful and nodded.

”Mom, give me a few minutes, I’m going down for a bit.” At this moment, Chen Fei already called out to Lin Ling, who was walking ahead.

”Going down for a bit?” Lin Ling was taken aback upon hearing this. But at this moment, Chen Fei had already disappeared from her sight.

”Mom~” Pei Wanning approached and hugged Lin Ling’s arm, sweetly calling her mom.

”Hey... Wanning, where’s that boy gone?” Lin Ling couldn’t help but ask.

”Mom, husband went down to the bottom of Emerald Lake. He should be back up soon.” Pei Wanning replied immediately.

”Went to the bottom of Emerald Lake?” Lin Ling was stunned and couldn’t help but mutter with a peculiar expression, ”This boy is getting more and more impressive.”

”Mom, husband is really impressive.” Pei Wanning said sweetly.

”How impressive is he now?” Lin Ling pursued further.

”Hmm, how should I say it?” Pei Wanning tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, ”If he wanted to, he could turn Chengyang County into a sea of fire in half a minute.”

”What!?” Lin Ling was suddenly shocked, her eyes trembling as she stared at the sweetly smiling Pei Wanning, unable to find words to describe her shock.

You have to know that Chengyang is quite a populous county with nearly 700,000 to 800,000 people and quite a large area... being able to turn Chengyang County into a sea of fire in half a minute, what kind of concept is that? Is this even human?

”Then, then, you, you, could it be you too...” The next moment, Lin Ling couldn’t help but stammer as she looked at Pei Wanning, unsure of what she was saying.

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanning thought Lin Ling was asking about her strength. Tilting her head cutely and thinking for a while, she replied, ”Mom, my strength is much weaker compared to my husband’s. If I wanted to destroy Chengyang County, it would probably take me more than three minutes.”

”Three minutes?” Lin Ling couldn’t help but shudder all over again, smiling rigidly. Originally, she had mentally prepared herself, knowing that her son had gone to that Cultivation World and had probably become very powerful.

But when she truly understood the extent of that ’powerful’, even though she knew it was her son and daughter-in-law, she couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingle, and she was left dumbfounded.

Because this is just too exaggerated, isn’t it!?

Whoosh!

Just then, a figure flickered, and Chen Fei appeared in front of them.

”Mom, it’s done; I’m done with my task.” Chen Fei patted the dirt off his hands and smiled.

”Oh, oh good... as long as it’s done.” Lin Ling was still somewhat unable to recover from the previous shock, muttering uneasily.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fei was slightly taken aback and asked doubtfully, ”Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why do you seem so weird?”

Lin Ling glanced at Chen Fei, then at Pei Wanning, shook her head, and said, ”Nothing. Just that Wanning told me about your power now, and I couldn’t quite process it.”

Chen Fei paused slightly, moved forward, hugged Lin Ling’s other hand with both hands, and smiled, ”Mom, no matter how powerful I am, I’m still the son you can handle at any time, right? And, shouldn’t a mom be happy that her son is doing well? Really, you startled me; I thought something was wrong.”

”Yes, yes, happy, happy... I think apart from you finding me Wanning, this wonderful daughter-in-law, what else can make me happy? Care to tell me?”

Lin Ling seemed to shake off the shock, poked Chen Fei with her finger, and said in a disgruntled tone, ”It’s been over three years since you last came home. You really have the nerve to say that?”

”Hehe, that’s not... that’s not... Mom, I was wrong.”

Chen Fei laughed awkwardly and hurriedly changed the subject: ”Speaking of which, Mom, should we buy a bigger house to live in? This time I can stay for about three months.”

It’s different from before. He used to stay in Northern Mountain City, so he didn’t need to buy a house in Chengyang, but now it’s different. He came back this time to see important people and accompany his mom, so buying a house seemed necessary.

His mom’s current house is a bit too small. It made him feel uneasy.

”You can only stay for three months this time?” However, Lin Ling didn’t care about the house at all but focused on the last part of Chen Fei’s statement.

”Hmm.” Chen Fei nodded, scratching his head, and said softly, ”I still have some things to handle in the Cultivation World, so...”

”Alright, you’re an adult now, so I won’t lecture you much. Just be safe and try to visit more often, okay?” Lin Ling waved her hand and said.

”Yes! Mom, don’t worry; I’ll come back to accompany you whenever I have time.” Chen Fei immediately patted his chest and promised.

”Alright.” Lin Ling nodded and continued, ”Forget about the house. My house is enough for three people. Besides, when you two leave, I’d be all alone in a big house, not knowing anyone, wouldn’t that be boring? Let’s buy a car instead.”

”Buy a car? Okay, I’ll make a call.”

Chen Fei thought about it and realized it made sense, then nodded, took out his phone, and dialed Gao Zhinan’s number.

”Hello, Mr. Chen. When are you coming to have a meal at our place? Our Vast Sea Group’s headquarters recently moved to Northern Mountain, it’s close by, and we can also invite Old Huang over.”
