The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4004: Chapter 4004: Do You Still Remember? (First Update)

At this moment.

Xia Ruoxue was completely lost, consumed by murderous intent. To Ye Chen’s surprise, Xia Ruoxue’s strength fully erupted, almost reaching the power akin to the Qiankun Realm.

Facing such a Xia Ruoxue, Ye Chen had to be exceedingly careful, for a single careless move could result in serious injury from Xia Ruoxue. Yet, he couldn’t use his full strength, as it might harm Xia Ruoxue.

Under these circumstances, Ye Chen was continually suppressed, with his internal blood essence and energy constantly resonating, already injured.

On the other hand, Xia Ruoxue only grew braver with each battle, her strength subtly advancing, which left Ye Chen feeling incredibly frustrated.

In this battle, Ye Chen continuously defended while attempting to awaken Xia Ruoxue’s consciousness to free her from the control of the murderous intent, but to no avail.

At this moment, an intense crimson light suddenly flashed in Xia Ruoxue’s eyes, and the moonlight around her changed color, becoming pitch black.

”Roar!”

Meanwhile, as Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue fought, other enemies who had been interfering also exploded one after another, transforming into streams of blood essence mixed with black demonic energy that flowed into Xia Ruoxue.

Even those who were once Mo Xue Ming, as well as Xuanyuan Moxie and others, suddenly shattered, becoming nourishment for Xia Ruoxue, whose aura grew even more violent.

”Hiss!”

With an explosive increase in strength, Xia Ruoxue once again thrust her sword at Ye Chen, adorned with endless moonlight and mighty blood essence.

This sword’s power reached its peak, capable of ripping through the void and shaking the heavens and earth. Ye Chen stared at this sword, feeling an extreme danger that required his full effort to withstand.

”Ruoxue...”

But Ye Chen watched Xia Ruoxue, unable to unleash his potent divine abilities against this sword, lest both of them end up wounded.

Here was Xia Ruoxue’s magical world, her Sea of Consciousness, and regardless of the battle’s outcome, it would harm Xia Ruoxue’s consciousness and divine soul, making Ye Chen hesitant to act recklessly.

Even now, as Xia Ruoxue charged with a violent sword, Ye Chen’s eyes flickered. He suddenly put down the Dragonslayer Sword and instead took out a photo from his pocket.

Seeing Ye Chen’s actions, Xia Ruoxue’s blood-red eyes, entirely controlled by the killing intent, became slightly clearer. Enemies who faced such a deadly attack yet offered no resistance were rare.

Xia Ruoxue still didn’t recognize Ye Chen, but her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the photo in Ye Chen’s hand. Her pupils contracted sharply, locking onto the two people in the photo.

Pasts surged like tides!

...

”Ye Chen, aside from my family background, aside from everything I possess, I’m just an ordinary girl.”

”I also desire love, I want to watch movies, I enjoy street food, these have always been in my heart.”

”I envy Sun Yi, truly envy. Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t born in the Xia family, really wish not.”

”Today, I suddenly want to experience how a normal girl falls in love. Online, they say you should watch movies, stroll the night market, with someone you like. I want to try, even if only for a day.”

”Would you be my boyfriend, even if just for one day?”

”Fool, I would. But I don’t want just one day, I want forever.”

...

”Ye Chen, I heard online that when the sky is full of stars, a small boat sailing to the center of Autumn Lake, surrounded by stars, is so beautiful. But unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating.”

”It’s okay, I’ll bring you here next time.”

”I don’t know if there will be a next time.”

”Ruoxue, since you want to see the stars, I’ll show them to you.”

”Though I don’t understand why you’re acting so strange today, it doesn’t matter. You want to see the stars; I’ll show you a lifetime of stars!”

”Ten Fingers Burning Heaven!”

Ten rays of light shot out, fell onto the spirit stones above the sky!

Instantly, the spirit stones shattered!

Brilliant like fireworks, adorning the sky, turning into countless stars!

Countless spiritual energy surged, and the withered plants around began to revive!

A sky full of stars.

The lake’s surface reflected the stars!

As spiritual energy surged over the lake, thousands of Golden Carp leaped out of the water!

Splashes flew, and ripples spread out!

What girl in the world could remain unmoved by such a scene!

This was the scene Xia Ruoxue had dreamed of countless times!

She would never forget that day in her lifetime!

For at this moment, all of this belonged to her, Xia Ruoxue!

...

This scene supported Xia Ruoxue as she traveled from Huaxia to the Outer Realm.

She wanted to be an ordinary person.

But seeing that shining man, she was unwilling to fall behind.

She changed her mind.

She was willing to endure backlash and blood loss from cultivation training repeatedly.

She was willing to endure the monotony of cultivation training over the years.

She was willing to transform into a butterfly amidst life and death crises.

Why?

Because the person she loved shone like a star!

She too wanted to shine brighter!

She didn’t want to become Ye Chen’s vassal!

She wanted to become Ye Chen’s pride and tenderness.

The heart of a young girl, sometimes may be a needle in the sea bottom.

But sometimes, it’s very simple.

Simple like a fool.

...

The photo Ye Chen took out had a sky full of stars in the background, with Ye Chen and Xia Ruoxue standing on the lake surface in the foreground, leaning close together.

Seeing this photo, the murderous intent in Xia Ruoxue’s eyes calmed, and she involuntarily stopped.

Xia Ruoxue’s expression was conflicted as she looked at the photo, while many surrounding enemies shattered instantly, and some flickered in and out of existence, looking like bizarre illusions.

But here was the magical world created by Xia Ruoxue’s consciousness, and all the phenomena indicated that her consciousness was returning, breaking free from the magical world.

Seeing the photo was effective, Ye Chen’s face showed joy. This photo, taken during their first life-and-death experience, was something he cherished greatly, always keeping it with him.

In this moment, Ye Chen couldn’t help but recall everything from those days on the plane, looking at Xia Ruoxue with tender feelings.

”Ruoxue, do you remember Autumn Lake back then?”

Ye Chen asked softly.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Xia Ruoxue’s delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes flickering with a hint of clarity as she gazed intently at Ye Chen’s face.

At this moment, the murderous intent within Xia Ruoxue gradually dissipated, her emotions becoming more stable, clearly indicating Ye Chen’s actions were effective.

Seeing this, Ye Chen continued, ”Have you forgotten? Our first date was on that lake...”

Speaking of this, Ye Chen’s gaze grew nostalgic, as back then, he was just a River City’s wastrel as everyone called him.

These stories unfolded from Ye Chen’s lips, while Xia Ruoxue’s clear eyes rippled with emotion, waves of clarity stirring.
