The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Terror in the Mist

Cheng Yuan couldn’t understand why Lin Ruoxi had secretly left, avoiding all the security cameras.

Just the day before yesterday, Lin Ruoxi had given herself to him completely.

They were practically married now!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The roaring of a helicopter cut through the air, interrupting Cheng Yuan’s thoughts.

RING RING...

Cheng Yuan’s phone rang. It was Xuanyuan Potian.

”Young Master, the helicopter has arrived. The pilot reports a dense fog over Little Dragon Mountain, preventing a safe landing. Please select an alternate landing site.”

Cheng Yuan’s eyes lit up. The helicopter had come at the perfect time. He had to get to the Provincial City.

”The fog will disperse soon. Tell them to land as planned.”

Cheng Yuan hung up and communicated with the Array Spirit. ’Little Python, grant the helicopter above permission to land.’

”Yes, Master.”

Xuanyuan Potian relayed Cheng Yuan’s instructions to the pilot.

The pilot, Song Qian, and his co-pilot, Zhou Fang, looked at each other in bewilderment.

”Captain Song, is the War God running a fever? This fog is so thick, it won’t clear until noon at the earliest. Does he really expect us to circle up here all morning?”

”Who knows? We’ll make a show of circling a few times, then find a nearby helipad to wait. We can head back over when the War God calls for us again.”

”Brilliant as always, Captain Song. You’re saving face for the War God without making us look like idiots circling up here...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Fang froze, staring down below in disbelief.

”Captain Song, look down! The fog... it’s gone!!”

Song Qian instinctively looked down, and then he froze completely!

’What the hell? Such a thick fog... gone just like that? It hasn’t even been ten seconds, has it? There wasn’t even a transition!’

Under Song Qian’s control, the helicopter landed smoothly on the helipad.

Cheng Yuan was already waiting on the helipad. He jumped aboard and ordered in a low voice, ”To the Provincial City, now.”

Huh?

Song Qian was taken aback for a moment. ”Hello, are you Mr. Cheng?”

”I am.”

”I’m sorry, Mr. Cheng, but our orders are to take you to the Southeast, to the heart of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”

”I’ve changed my itinerary.”

Song Qian said apologetically, ”Our orders are to go to the Southeast, to the heart of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If you wish to change your destination, please contact the War God.”

Cheng Yuan was frantic and couldn’t be bothered to argue. He raised his hand, took out the waist token of the Young Marshal Dragon Flame, and said in a low voice, ”This Marshal is in a hurry. Depart immediately!”

Song Qian and Zhou Fang were stunned!

This young man was actually the Young Marshal Dragon Flame?

That was a position no less prestigious than their War God’s!

If he were to take over Dragon Flame in the future, his rank would be equal to the Commander of the Battle Department!

Song Qian didn’t dare disobey Cheng Yuan’s command. He quickly took off and headed straight for the Provincial City.

It had to be said, the speed of the latest model of armed helicopter was incredible. In less than an hour, Cheng Yuan arrived at Yuanxi Pharmaceutical.

Seeing Cheng Yuan, Shen Youchu’s eyes filled with tears of self-blame.

”Brother, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let Sister leave my sight.”

Cheng Yuan ruffled Shen Youchu’s hair and said gently, ”Youchu, it’s not your fault. You’re just a kid. When it comes to scheming, a hundred of you would be no match for Ruoxi. Don’t worry, I’ll find your sister.”

After saying this, Cheng Yuan headed straight for Lin Ruoxi’s apartment.

Cheng Yuan wanted to find the bedsheet from that day. Using the blood on it, Cheng Yuan was completely confident he could find Lin Ruoxi.

The sheet on the large bed was clean and had a fresh scent. It had been changed!

However, Cheng Yuan didn’t panic. He activated his Double Pupil and scanned his surroundings.

Soon, Cheng Yuan found the bedsheet in a box at the very bottom of Lin Ruoxi’s wardrobe.

The sheet hadn’t been washed. It had been neatly folded by Lin Ruoxi and stored in the box.

This moved Cheng Yuan. ’Ruoxi is such a traditional woman, to place so much importance on her first time.’

He was truly blessed to have a woman like Ruoxi.

Cheng Yuan took out the bedsheet and spread it smoothly on the bed.

Shen Youchu, who was standing by, immediately grew tense. ”Blood! Why is there so much blood on the sheet? Was Sister murdered?”

Cheng Yuan ruffled Shen Youchu’s hair again, comforting her, ”Ruoxi is fine, don’t worry.”

After calming Shen Youchu, Cheng Yuan silently activated the Celestial Witch Divination Art, muttering an incantation.

”Celestial Witch on high, grant me your divine power! Let my soul leave my body and journey forth. With my own life as a beacon, guide it to the path of return!”

Shen Youchu suddenly felt a cold, sinister wind swirl around her. Though the weather was hot, she broke out in goosebumps.

Shen Youchu instinctively adopted a guarded stance and scanned her surroundings.

”Who’s there? Get the hell out here right now!”

”Youchu, don’t be nervous. It’s just a Residual Soul of Ruoxi’s.”

”A Residual Soul?” Shen Youchu looked utterly confused.

”When a person experiences extreme fear or extreme pleasure, their Divine Soul fluctuates intensely, sometimes shedding a trace of a Residual Soul. By using this Residual Soul, one can locate the Main Soul. I already have a general idea of Ruoxi’s location.”

Shen Youchu nodded, only half-understanding. Even though she didn’t quite get it, it didn’t stop her from thinking her brother was amazing!

”So, Sister is okay?”

”Yes, Ruoxi is fine. Focus on your Cultivation, and protect Ruoxi’s parents.”

”Don’t worry, Brother!”

Cheng Yuan folded the sheet, rushed out of the apartment building, and leaped into the helicopter. ”Let’s go!”

”Yes, sir!”

The helicopter slowly ascended, then sped off in the direction Cheng Yuan indicated.

「Meanwhile.」

Fu Qingzhu arrived in Luocheng and made her way to the Long Lake District.

Fu Qingzhu skillfully avoided the security cameras and successfully reached the halfway point of the mountain.

At first, everything went smoothly.

But after she passed Villa No. 2, the scenery ahead of her changed.

The winding mountain path suddenly vanished. In its place was a thick fog, and behind the fog, a small forest could be faintly seen.

Fu Qingzhu frowned. ’Little Dragon Mountain is only a hundred meters high, why would there be such a dense fog?’

However, Fu Qingzhu didn’t consider retreating. She had undergone the harshest special training. A little fog on a small mountain wasn’t enough to make her lose her way!

Without hesitation, Fu Qingzhu walked into the fog.

Once inside the fog, there was indeed a dense forest.

Fu Qingzhu pursed her lips. ’This little bit of fog won’t be enough to stop me.’ She drew the dagger from her waist and began marking the trees and bamboo stalks to avoid getting lost.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking before she realized there was a problem. She was back where she had first entered the fog!

In other words, she had unknowingly circled back to her starting point!

But Fu Qingzhu wasn’t flustered at all. She had left marks along her path, so she could rule out the wrong routes. If she tried a few more times, she was bound to find her way out of the fog.

Fu Qingzhu checked the marks she had left on the tree trunks and bamboo. And then, she panicked!

She found marks on many tree trunks and stalks, but they were all jumbled and followed no logical pattern!

Fu Qingzhu had to admit it: she was lost!!

Just as Fu Qingzhu was panicking, a sudden RUSTLE came from nearby!

Fu Qingzhu instinctively turned her head and saw a giant python as thick as a water tank!

The python was over a hundred meters long, its two huge, vertical pupils glowing like car headlights!

In an instant, the giant python rushed before her and opened its cavernous maw! It swallowed Fu Qingzhu in a single gulp!!
