The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2332: Chapter 2306: The Show Begins! (Seven Updates)

If she had sipped it slowly, it might have been fine, but to drink it down all at once like this! With her level of cultivation, she couldn’t handle it!

As for Xiang Hai? He merely took a small sip and then watched Song Rou with a smile. Given Song Rou’s status, in such a situation, it was natural that he couldn’t seriously start drinking with her.

Song Rou took several deep breaths before she barely managed to keep her spirits up. This spirit wine was too terrifying!

As soon as it entered her mouth, it transformed into an extremely dense spiritual energy that surged wildly within her Meridians, even causing her Meridians to ache!

Fortunately, she only drank one cup. If she had drunk several more, perhaps even her Meridians could have burst, maybe even damaging her foundation, right?

Just as Song Rou had barely managed to suppress the rampage of spiritual energy in her body, Xu Sheng next to her was looking at her with an icy demeanor and said coldly, ”Song Rou, is this how you accompany Young Master Xiang in drinking wine?”

Song Rou’s complexion changed as she said, ”Uh... Young Master Xu, what’s wrong with me?”

”What’s wrong?” Xu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared coldly at Song Rou, then suddenly shouted loudly, ”What’s wrong!? Who do you think you are compared to Young Master Xiang’s status? You toast Young Master Xiang a cup of wine, and you just drink one yourself? Heh, aren’t you insulting Young Master Xiang?”

As soon as Xu Sheng’s words fell, everyone present looked at Song Rou with a smirk, their eyes filled with amusement and mockery, enjoying the drama that was unfolding.

This kind of scene was all too familiar to them. Plainly speaking, a woman like Song Rou, who wasn’t of high status and forced her way into their circle, could only serve as a plaything for amusement.

Among them, not a single person’s eyes carried the slightest bit of pity, none thought to speak up to help Song Rou.

Who would pity a toy?

Song Rou bit her lip tightly. She knew Xu Sheng was punishing her for not bringing Ye Chen, deliberately humiliating her in front of these noble young masters!

If Xu Sheng treated her well publicly in such an occasion, then, even if others looked down on her internally, they would treat her courteously for the sake of Xu Sheng’s face.

Now what?

She knew, if she made a fool of herself even once in front of these people, she’d forever be unable to hold her head high again, doomed to be treated like a plaything for the rest of her life!

But still, she had no choice but to drink! Even though drinking another cup could hurt her Meridians!

Because she knew that if she didn’t drink now, it meant she was disrespecting Xu Sheng, and disrespecting Xu Sheng would result in a fate far more miserable than being treated as a plaything—many times over!

At that point, even death would seem like a release from suffering for her, wouldn’t it?

She was afraid, truly afraid from the bottom of her heart!

Therefore, Song Rou extended a hand, trembling as she once again lifted a cup of spirit wine...

She gazed at the spirit wine in her hand as though she were looking at a cup of poison!

Perhaps, if it were poison, it might even be better!

As everyone knew, the sensation of one’s Meridians bursting with spiritual energy was agonizing beyond the will to live!

”How about it? Drink up?” Xu Sheng looked at Song Rou with a playful gaze, ”Don’t forget, to show courtesy to Young Master Xiang, you have to down it in one go.”

Song Rou took a deep breath and once again downed the spirit wine in her hand!

As the spirit wine went down, Song Rou staggered backwards three steps, her footing incredibly shaky, and her skin began to flush red!

Now, breathing felt strenuous for her!

Endless spiritual energy rampaged through her Meridians, causing indescribable pain throughout her body and her energy was incredibly chaotic. However, after a moment of struggle, Song Rou relied on her fairly decent foundation and was lucky enough to suppress the spiritual energy from that cup of spirit wine!

She let out a slight sigh of relief. If it could end here, not only would it not harm her body, but it could also be considered a great supplement, quite beneficial! After going back, if she completely refined this spiritual energy, perhaps she could even break through a minor division of realms!

However, the scions of the noble families let out a disappointed hiss.

This wasn’t the result they wanted to see!

They wanted to see Song Rou rolling on the ground in pain, begging for mercy, licking their feet like a dog, pleading for them to let her go. Now that would be interesting!

And just at that moment, a figure walked into the palace.

The guard at the doorway glanced at the person, lifted his hand as if he intended to extend it to stop him, but then, after contemplating, he put it down again.

And this person was actually Chen Zhifan!

That guard had also been on the beach at that time and had seen Song Rou announcing that Chen Zhifan and Ye Chen were friends of Young Master Xu.

Hence, he didn’t plan to stop him.

After entering the palace, Chen Zhifan went straight toward where Song Rou was.

At this time, Song Rou lifted her face, barely managing to squeeze out a smile, and gazed at Xu Sheng with seductive eyes, wanting to say something.

However, Xu Sheng was looking at her with a cold smirk, saying emotionlessly, ”Keep drinking. Did I say you could stop?”

Song Rou’s heart completely paled, tears swirling in her beautiful eyes, filled with sheer desperation.

Another drink and she wouldn’t have any chance of suppressing that violent spiritual energy!

Her meridians would certainly burst!

She had been by Xu Sheng’s side for two or three years, originally thinking that Xu Sheng would have even a shred of emotion for her.

But now it seemed, not at all, not even a little bit!

In his eyes, she truly was utterly nothing more than a plaything!

Song Rou was heartbroken but had no choice but to stretch out her hand once again, picking up a cup of deadly spirit wine with a pained and sorrowful expression on her pretty face, ready to down the dreadful drink.

But just at that moment, a hand reached out.

A man’s hand.

In Song Rou’s most, most desperate moment, this hand grabbed her wrist.

For an instant, it seemed as if time itself came to a standstill.

Song Rou turned her head in surprise.

The person was actually the man who had arrived with Ye Chen?

Why was he here?

What was he going to do?

A multitude of questions surged in Song Rou’s heart.

And Chen Zhifan, without saying much more, took the wine cup from Song Rou’s hand and, in one gulp, downed the wine!

Silence.

A deathlike silence enveloped the room as the sons of noble families watched this suddenly appearing Chen Zhifan with amusement.

They knew there was a good show to watch.

This Star Aperture realm expert, whom they had never seen before, was no different from slapping Xu Sheng in the face!

Xu Sheng’s expression, however, seemed somewhat amused, because he had recognized the man; he was the one who had come with Ye Chen!

Chen Zhifan looked at Xu Sheng and said indifferently, ”Young Master Xu? Thanks for helping us out on the beach. This drink’s for you.”

At the same time, he glanced at Song Rou and transmitted a message, ”Go find Ye Chen.”

Though the message was transmitted secretly, Xu Sheng’s level of cultivation allowed him to hear it, yet he simply smiled and did not stop her.

Wasn’t letting Ye Chen come exactly what he had intended?
