Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

”Junior Brother, you’re awake.” Li Jiayin noticed Xu Wendong’s presence, immediately stopped what she was doing, turned her head, and a smile bloomed on her face like warm sunlight.

”Good morning, Senior Sister!” Xu Wendong responded, a slight blush spreading across his face.

Last night, he and Lin Yin had a passionate encounter, the battle was intense.

If Lin Yin hadn’t been too exhausted and quietly left in the middle of the night, Li Jiayin would likely have heard those sounds that make one’s face flush with embarrassment come morning.

Recalling the madness of last night, Xu Wendong felt both satisfied and secretly admired Li Jiayin’s quality of sleep; despite the fierce commotion, she managed to sleep soundly.

Li Jiayin nodded slightly, her gaze fell on Xu Wendong, a hint of urgency in her expression: ”We can set off for Lake Heart Island now, my father’s condition can’t hold out much longer.”

Mentioning her father, Li Lingtian, her eyes were full of worry and anxiety.

In her heart, only by quickly finding the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass could her father be freed from the pain and return to his former vitality.

Xu Wendong understood Li Jiayin’s feelings and nodded along.

Although he hadn’t slept all night, as a cultivator, this little fatigue was no big deal to him; even going ten days or a month without rest would not significantly affect his state.

”I’ll greet the Family Head, then we’ll depart,” he said, and turned away, hurrying towards the Lin Family Hall.

In the Lin Family Hall, Xu Wendong exchanged a few simple words with Lin Zhen Tian, then quickly returned.

After that, he and Li Jiayin embarked on their journey to Lake Heart Island side by side.

As Xu Wendong left the Lin Family, Xiao Die, who had been staying in the small courtyard, was full of sorrow.

She stood quietly in the courtyard, her gaze tightly following Xu Wendong’s departing figure, her eyes filled with loss and reluctance.

At this moment, a figure quietly appeared behind her, ghost-like.

”Miss, it’s time to go.”

The person’s voice was hoarse, but the energy flowing from them was extremely powerful, just standing there exerted an invisible pressure.

In the Netherworld, the strong were revered, and Li Lingtian, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect, though a figure among many strong, would likely be unable to withstand even one strike from this person.

”To leave just like this, not knowing when I’ll see the young master again,” Xiao Die’s voice was full of bitterness, tears glistening in her eyes.

Her feelings for Xu Wendong were deep and sincere; now being forced to leave, her heart was full of unwillingness.

However, the person beside her showed a face full of disdain, letting out a snort, ”Hmph! This one is very fickle, spent last night with Lin Family’s Seventh Elder.”

”Miss, this person is not worthy of your devotion.”

”Moreover, he’s just someone from a small place, even if he reaches his peak, it’s only the Ghost Control Realm, but you, in both cultivation level and status, will overshadow him.”

Their words were filled with arrogance and prejudice, attempting to make Xiao Die realize the vast gap between her and Xu Wendong.

Hearing this, Xiao Die suddenly turned around, her face full of anger.

She glared at the figure, eyes wide, and shouted, ”I won’t allow you to speak of the young master like that!”

”If it weren’t for your threat to kill the young master, I wouldn’t be going with you!”

”Saying I am the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld, saying my status is exalted.”

”But in my most difficult childhood, where were you all?”

”Do you even know if it weren’t for the young master, I would’ve died long ago?” Xiao Die’s voice choked with sobs, the words suppressed in her heart for a long time now pouring out like a flood breaking a dam.

The figure, hearing what Xiao Die said, sensibly closed their mouth.

After venting her anger, Xiao Die could only smile bitterly in resignation.

She knew well that she had no choice, the wheels of fate had begun to turn, and she could only be forced to leave, confronting an unknown future.

”Young Master, Xiao Die will wait for you to grow stronger, you must come to find Xiao Die, Xiao Die will always wait for you...” Xiao Die silently recited in her heart, tears quietly slipping down her cheeks.

...

Outside Netherworld City.

Relying on the memory in his mind, Xu Wendong confirmed that there indeed was a large lake in the west of Netherworld City, and in that lake, there was a mysterious Lake Heart Island.

However, this place had always been filled with eerie vibes, and he had never set foot there.

This time, being able to go with Li Jiayin, Xu Wendong’s heart was both nervous and expectant.

According to Li Lingtian’s description, not only did the Lake Heart Island have the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass that could save his life but also other rare medicinal herbs.

If he could gather these herbs, he might be able to refine some special elixirs himself.

In a survival-of-the-fittest Netherworld, this would undoubtedly add a layer of survival assurance.

Moreover, the original host was adept at drawing Netherworld talismans, and some powerful talismans also needed herbal assistance to exert their maximum power.

”We’re here, Lake Heart Island is just ahead,” Li Jiayin excitedly pointed forward, her eyes full of anticipation.

What met their eyes was a vast lake, its surface rising with threads of Yin energy; though not dense, it sufficiently demonstrated the uniqueness of this place.

In the lake, big fish occasionally jumped out of the water; nourished by Yin energy, these fish undoubtedly had developed intelligence.

Xu Wendong even guessed that perhaps at the unfathomable lake bottom, powerful Netherworld Beasts were lurking, guarding this mysterious place.

And in the center of the lake, a solitary Lake Heart Island stood.

The island was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, like a light veil, making it impossible to see the scene inside, adding a touch of mystery.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong frowned, relying on his keen intuition, he sensed that recklessly barging in would inevitably lead to danger.

”Senior Sister, let’s investigate first before going over there.” He immediately reminded, his voice with a tinge of seriousness.

However.

Li Jiayin, anxious to save her father, had only one thought in mind at this moment: to quickly obtain the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass to treat her father, deaf to Xu Wendong’s advice.

She unhesitatingly stepped forward, deploying her movement technique, swiftly heading toward the center of the lake.

In her view, with her strength, picking the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass should be an easy task.

But as she was flying over the lake, a huge shadow suddenly appeared at the calm lake bottom, spreading swiftly like a dark cloud.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong was shocked and urgently shouted, ”Senior Sister, be careful!”

Before his words could fall, a massive figure broke through the water, splashing waves several feet high.

It was actually a giant python, its body as thick as a sturdy trunk, its scales glimmered with cold light under the sun.

Its blood-red vertical pupils exuded a fierce light, and its open blood-red mouth was wide enough to swallow an adult beast whole.

”No!”

Li Jiayin was also startled by this sudden change, frozen in mid-air, having no time to react.

”Swoosh!”

The giant python moved extremely fast, like a black lightning bolt, lunging toward Li Jiayin.

If this strike hit its mark, Li Jiayin would be doomed.

In the nick of time.

Xu Wendong unhesitatingly used the Dark Dragon Roaming Step.

In an instant.

His figure seemed ghost-like, leaving a shadow at his original position, and in just the blink of an eye, appeared behind Li Jiayin.

He stretched out his strong arm, tightly embracing Li Jiayin’s slender waist, and in his hand, firmly gripping the Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe, he fiercely smashed down toward the giant python!
