Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Xu Wendong’s heart trembled violently; he was not one who lived up to an undeserved reputation, yet the fate of the woman before him was too unusual for him to unravel.

Despite this, his face maintained a calm and composed expression.

Xu Wendong felt as if his heart had been struck by a bolt of lightning, making it tremble suddenly.

He knew well that his attainments in Face Reading and the study of Fate were far from ordinary, having experienced countless situations, and rarely had he encountered people or matters that could stump him.

However, the fate of the woman before him seemed to be shrouded by an indestructible and mysterious shield, so special and profound that even when he exerted all his efforts, he could not penetrate the layers of fog to glimpse even the slightest hint within.

Even though his heart was already stirred by waves of astonishment, his face remained as calm as an autumn lake reflecting the moon, poised and composed as if his expression had been carved into his features without the slightest flaw.

He softly cleared his throat; his voice was calm and steady, suppressing the tremors in his heart, and said in a seemingly casual tone: ”Miss, your beauty is as if a heavenly immortal descended to the mortal world, an unparalleled elegance that shames the moon and flowers. Truly, you are a rare beauty in this world, a person of peerless grace.”

”Moreover, your fate is as unique and extraordinary as a spiritual secret deeply hidden in the world since the dawn of chaos, beyond the reach of ordinary Face Reading and Fate methods.”

”Your sweet talk is charming!” The girl slightly pursed lips as red as cherries and smiled softly, her laughter like silver bells dancing among the forest branches in the spring morning, clear, melodious, and striking straight to the heart.

”If you truly have the ability to discern the Heavenly Mechanism, do give it a try.”

”But if it’s beyond your capability, don’t push yourself. I am not an unreasonable person and naturally won’t make things difficult for you without cause.”

Xu Wendong’s gaze flickered slightly, as if making a decision in his heart, and then he said, ”Miss, may I check your pulse? Perhaps I might glean some hints from it.”

”Of course!” The girl agreed without any hesitation, gracefully extending her fair and delicate right hand, as smooth as Sheep Jade. Her wrist lightly turned, her elegant hand tracing a graceful arc through the air, exuding an aura of elegance and composure.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong quickly extended two fingers, lightly placing them on the girl’s pulse.

His movements were smooth and skillful, seamlessly checking her pulse, then he immersed himself fully in sensing and analyzing the pulse.

Gradually, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Within the girl’s body, he felt an extremely cold aura.

The aura seemed to come from the icy winds of a land of extreme cold, penetrating and bone-chilling.

Just a slight touch left Xu Wendong, a man weathered through countless storms and accustomed to the strange occurrences of the world, with an involuntary shiver, as if all the blood in his body froze at that instant, and even his soul trembled.

After his fingers lingered for a moment on the girl’s pulse, Xu Wendong slowly withdrew, his eyes filled with gravity: ”Miss, are you aware that your constitution is different from ordinary people?”

The girl’s eyes lit up, not expecting Xu Wendong to perceive that her constitution was different from others, she then said, ”I only know that since childhood, my body has been different, often emitting coldness, but I don’t know the reason.”

Her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and doubt, urgently asking: ”Did you detect anything unusual?”

Xu Wendong slowly took a deep breath, doing his utmost to restrain the turmoil in his heart, gradually calming his emotions before gravely saying: ”Miss, your constitution is exceptionally rare, known as the Chaos Cold Ice Body.”

”The occurrence of this constitution is exceedingly low, almost only existing in ancient legends, hardly traceable in ordinary times.”

”People with this constitution are innately highly compatible with Ice Cold Power, able to manipulate ice and snow at will, their might astonishing.”

”However, everything has two sides. While the Chaos Cold Ice Body grants you unique abilities, it also brings many thorny challenges.”

He paused slightly before continuing: ”For instance, your body is often invaded by piercing cold, as if situated within an ice cellar, unbearably painful.”

”If not effectively guided timely, over time, it could even endanger your life.”

”Moreover, the path of cultivation is fraught with numerous hardships and dangers.”

”Merely because the Ice Cold Power within is extremely vigorous and strong, if unable to be properly controlled and directed, it can easily backfire, plunging yourself into eternal damnation.”

The girl was instantly shocked upon hearing this, her expression as if she had heard a tale beyond belief.

Though merely a mortal, she was aware that anything related to chaos entails unimaginable energy and danger, an exceedingly terrifying existence.

After a moment, she gradually regained her composure, her heart anxious as she inquired, ”Then do you know how to guide the cold within my body?”

”Miss, don’t worry, first calm down.” Xu Wendong said while swiftly taking up a pen, the tip flying swiftly across the paper.

Soon, a cultivation mental method titled ”Cold Ice Mantra” appeared on the paper.

He handed the script covered in writing to the girl, solemnly saying: ”By adhering to this cultivation mental method, putting your heart into cultivation and persevering diligently, you’ll gradually guide the cold within, transforming it for your use, thereby breaking through your limitations and successfully embarking on the path of cultivation.”

The girl excitedly took the cultivation mental method handed over by Xu Wendong, but just after glancing at it, she frowned, unable to help saying: ”I’m just an ordinary person, I don’t know how to cultivate!”

Though having acquired the Internal Cultivation Methods for cultivation, she had never been exposed to such matters and had no idea how to cultivate.

She paused, then looked up at Xu Wendong, her lively beautiful eyes revealing a hint of slyness: ”How about I become your disciple, and you teach me how to cultivate?”

”Uh...” Xu Wendong smiled wryly, helplessly saying: ”I’m just a half-baked practitioner, not qualified to teach others how to cultivate.”

”How about this.”

”You first go into the lounge inside, sit cross-legged, and learn meditation; once learned, I will guide you on how to cultivate.”

The girl’s eyes lit up, she readily agreed, stepping with cheerful pace towards the lounge inside.

As she reached the doorway of the lounge, she seemed to suddenly remember something, pausing slightly before gently turning back to offer a sweet smile: ”I’m called Zhang Nian, ’Nian’ as in longing!”

That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and moving, like the first ray of morning sunlight, warm and bright...
