Volume 1, Chapter 25: A Born Miracle Doctor

Yu Xuanyao took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in her heart, and feigned a steady tone. "What reason do I have to believe you won't go back to pressuring Peihong?"

"You have no choice but to believe me."

"So many years have passed, yet I am still not ready," Fang Bie said indifferently.

The vast fire lotus descended with an explosive, scorching heat. Suspended in mid-air, Li Du and Li Qi each channeled the power of the Vermilion Martial Fire Lotus, skillfully manifesting a portion of its true, complete strength.

Inside the room, he set up a protective barrier using spiritual energy, then utilized an ice-element spiritual source to conjure an ice bed.

"A frontal assault is out of the question—it’s never going to happen in this lifetime... Stay steady, brother, I’ll go call for help right now." Having left those words behind and striking a pose as if to run, Nie Yu seized the moment the collateral branch member of the Ji family was distracted to plant a firm kick.

Seeing her master’s disdainful expression, Long Zhanyan felt no ripple of concern. Indifferently, she took out the Heavenly Eye given to her by Shangguan Lingyuan and placed it gently on the table.

Although Qian Guodong didn't ask, he was inwardly astonished. He had actually been sweating nervously, never imagining that Huang Han would be carrying tens of thousands in cash.

Xia Zhi glared fiercely at Tachibana Aya, while the latter tilted her head toward the window, whistling nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an pondered for a moment. Privately, he felt that Yin was right; perhaps this truly would be better for the children.

With a sharp metallic clang, two monk's blades were tossed to the ground. They sat cross-legged, faces wreathed in smiles, eyes closed in silence.

Discovering the spring of divinity in the vessel was bountiful, the nine elders immediately sat in a circle around the Dragon-Transformation Pool. Innate divine light manifested above their heads as they worked in unison to refine the sacred water, channeling it drop by drop into Jiang Taixu. The vibrant, life-giving energy seeped into him, slowly nourishing the God King’s withered body.

When she was in the secret realm a while ago, she had seen Chen Xuan use it. The power of the Dragon-Subduing Palm he unleashed after taking the "Burn with the Jade" pill was not far behind that of the Azure Dragon; the only difference was his proficiency, having mastered only two palms so far.

On her way back, she had inadvertently glanced at Chen Xuan. Her gaze lingered for two seconds; Chen Xuan was handsome, his rugged face as sharp as a blade, exuding a masculine aura.

Facing their master’s icy countenance, even the usually vivacious Tao Yun dared not make a sound.

Finally, glistening specks began to fall from the dim horizon, evoking a surreal, dreamlike sensation in the hearts of all who watched.

"No need, I just didn't sleep well last night." Xu Lingfei refused Chen Xuan's offer without a second thought.

The battle of the Card Masters was incredibly brutal. All manner of followers and weapons had turned into machines of slaughter, relentlessly claiming the lives of the soldiers.

Li Mu also devised a compromise: to craft a few more cards with resurrection abilities, though he would have to go through the trouble of "feeding" the cards all over again.

Once he said this, how could Song Chuxia harbor any more doubts? After all, Chen Xuan’s current role was that of her strategist; her next move depended entirely on his guidance.

Just as he and Bai Ningshuang were about to hail a taxi back to the office, a white BMW 7 Series pulled up beside them.

"I’ve been eaten clean." The words were spoken lightly, but the expression didn't match. Her eyes were swollen—not from crying, but from being exhausted; it was clear she was sleep-deprived.

Sheng Qingqing was not surprised in the slightest. If the two children had been home, they would have rushed out to greet her the moment she made a sound outside.

"Is it really that magical?" Chunyu Yue, filled with curiosity, reached out and rubbed her lips, finding that a red stain truly transferred to his fingertip.
