Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 664: The Emperor of Soldiers’ Terms

Xia Xing’s expression changed involuntarily.

"Master, Feng San and I have no relationship."

"Have you forgotten what you promised me when I first accepted you as my disciple?"

Xia Bingxin’s gaze was cold as she looked at Xia Xing.

Xia Xing, this disciple, had always satisfied her, both in appearance and talent; Xia Xing was a rare find in the world.

After waiting for many years, Xia Bingxin finally found such a disciple; she had decided to regard Xia Xing as her successor, to inherit her mantle.

But recently, Xia Xing had been acting somewhat abnormally, especially after getting involved with the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce; Xia Xing’s attitude towards Feng San was clearly different.

She had long warned Xia Xing not to care about anything other than cultivation, yet Xia Xing kept getting distracted, particularly after returning from the Competition Among Ten Countries; she seemed slightly absent-minded—Xia Bingxin sharply captured these changes.

Xia Xing was momentarily at a loss for words.

"I told you, the heir to my Emperor Crossbow Technique must have a firm disposition, undistracted, cutting off all emotional ties, only then can they master the supreme crossbow technique. Over the years, I have considered so many people, and finally chose you, who have no parents, no family, or lovers, as my heir."

Xia Bingxin stared at Xia Xing.

Xia Bingxin’s nature was cold and ruthlessly detached; apart from Xia Xing, her disciple, she had almost no ties in this world.

It was precisely because of this that her Emperor Crossbow Technique was unrivaled, and she earned the extraordinary title of Emperor of Soldiers.

"Family, friends, lovers—all these are burdens, you don’t need them."

"Master, Feng San and I fought side by side during the Competition Among Ten Countries; she is my friend. Master, rest assured, I won’t let Feng San hinder my cultivation."

Xia Xing hurriedly spoke.

This was also why he didn’t let Xia Xing know that she was Gong Zhu, and he certainly couldn’t let Xia Bingxin know about the existence of Feng Bailing and her daughter Feng Xiaoli.

Gong Zhu was an orphan; back in Xingxiu Sect, she was trained to be cold-blooded and heartless.

If it hadn’t been for meeting Feng Bailing, she would still be that murderous Gong Zhu, without any ties in this world. But now, things were different.

The appearance of Feng Bailing and her daughter Feng Xiaoli changed everything for him.

Whenever it concerned them, he would risk everything.

"You don’t need friends, since that’s the case, I’ll help you eliminate her."

Xia Bingxin said coldly.

"Master, that must not happen."

Xia Xing was greatly shocked.

At this moment, her mercenaries came to report that they had captured the people from the Dawn Phoenix Commerce.

"Let them in. I want to see just who this Medical Buddha is and how long he can stay hidden."

Xia Bingxin had already heard that this Medical Buddha had only recently appeared in Great Chu.

Rumor had it that he was the master of Dugu Wu, the Ninth Prince’s Princess Consort Feng Bailing.

Somehow, this Medical Buddha had also joined the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce recently, and many of the medicines and goods from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce were said to be provided by him.

Where exactly the Medical Buddha was hiding is unknown for now, but it seemed that this person named Feng San clearly knew.

Xia Bingxin planned to eliminate Feng San after extracting the whereabouts of the Medical Buddha, thus removing a future threat.

Feng Bailing, holding Feng Xiaoli and Lady Lai, walked in.

Lady Lai was trembling with fear, and Xia Xing also looked pale and dejected. Although he knew Feng Bailing was formidable, how could she possibly be a match for Xia Bingxin?

On her way here, Feng Bailing was recalling the corpses from earlier, which were clearly sent by Soldier King Qi. However, there was no sign of Soldier King Qi among the corpses, indicating that he had already fled. If it was true that they were infected with the plague virus, Soldier King Qi would certainly not have escaped unscathed.

What puzzled Feng Bailing was that generally, even if infected by the plague virus, there is typically an incubation period before symptoms appear, especially since Soldier King Qi and his peers were martial artists.

It had only been two days since Soldier King Qi and his men came into contact with those goods; how could they suddenly fall ill so severely in just one day and night?

The plague, in this world, is almost a terminal illness because there is no specific cure.

Feng Bailing had some medications in her emergency kit, but they couldn’t be used on a large scale.

When Feng Bailing entered, Soldier King Qi was still groaning.

Soldier King Qi was a trusted subordinate of Xia Bingxin; her concern for his life-and-death crisis was natural.

Feng Bailing was contemplating how to convince Xia Bingxin to spare the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

While Feng Bailing was thinking, the little one in her arms, Feng Xiaoli, was very quiet.

The little one had been hanging her head low since last night, her heart also fraught with anxiety. How could she tell her mother about the bizarre incidents from last night and the connection of those people’s deaths to the Buddhist Alms Bowl?

Her Majesty always seemed to oppose her speaking recklessly. Last night she didn’t speak much; she just thought about it in her heart, it was all Buddha’s Palm’s doing.

Feng Xiaoli looked sadly at the Buddhist Alms Bowl in her hands.

"Greetings to the Emperor of Soldiers."

Feng Bailing and Lady Lai bowed to Xia Bingxin as they entered.

Xia Bingxin, however, snorted coldly.

"Feng San, your Phoenix Chamber of Commerce is quite audacious, having killed many of my subordinates, even harming the Soldier King. I warn you, produce the antidote to save Soldier King and summon the Medical Buddha to kneel and apologize before me. Furthermore, he must agree to join my Soldier Inn and serve me from now on. Otherwise, I will not let last night’s incident go."

Upon hearing this, and seeing the condition of Soldier King Qi, Feng Bailing saw that he was struggling to sit up on his sickbed, gasping for air, his breathing heavy as if pulling bellows.

"Feng, Feng San, quickly fetch the Medical Buddha, get me the antidote."

Both Xia Bingxin and Soldier King Qi believed that the Medical Buddha had used some mysterious poison to cause such a powerful man as Soldier King Qi to fall ill in such a short time.

Feng Bailing feigned surprise, staring at Soldier King Qi.

"Soldier King Qi, how did you end up like this?"

"You still have the face to ask, hurry up and produce the antidote."

Soldier King Qi was so angry he could tear Feng Bailing apart.

"Antidote? What antidote? It looks to me like you’re suffering from a terminal disease."

Feng Bailing looked concerned.

"Feng San, stop pretending. Soldier King Qi fell ill suddenly last night. What illness strikes overnight? He has always been healthy; clearly, he has been poisoned. If you don’t hand over the antidote and the Medical Buddha, don’t blame me for being rude."

Xia Bingxin was out of patience.

Feng Bailing thought for a moment and sighed.

"Emperor of Soldiers, it’s not that I can’t hand over an antidote, but this is clearly a disease called the plague, not poisoning. If it had been detected early, there might have been hope for Soldier King Qi, but looking at him now, his internal organs are probably already failing. Even if my master, Medical Buddha, were to appear, there’s nothing he could do."
