Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 619 - 608 The Dragon and Phoenix Banquet Begins
Chapter 619: Chapter 608 The Dragon and Phoenix Banquet Begins
The poisoning incident was perfectly resolved, and naturally, the results reached the most ideal state. All one thousand villagers were rescued, and the water quality of the Wan Mountain Reservoir was also restored. With that, the villagers no longer faced the issue of collective relocation, saving the government a significant amount of financial resources. Of course, these are secondary concerns; what’s more important is that the villagers’ homeland was protected, which to them, is of utmost significance. In addition, a toxic plant breeding base was destroyed, a development that even shocked Capital City, which has already dispatched a special team to conduct further investigations.
This perfect resolution of the incident undoubtedly elevated the reputation of the Traditional Chinese Medicine representative team to a new level. With the villagers’ word of mouth naturally spreading this excellent repute, the higher-ups were also very satisfied with the team’s performance this time. Of course, the greatest contributor was Tangyu. As soon as the situation at Wan Mountain Reservoir was resolved, Tangyu received a call from President Bi, who expressed praise and commendation, and conveyed the approval from above regarding this matter. He even said that upon return, they would hold a celebratory banquet for him, which was of course directly declined by Tangyu. Regarding these things, Tangyu really had no interest, nor did he have any interest in dealing with those bigwigs.
Too tiring!
For the County Magistrate of Yang County, this incident was both a time of disaster and an opportunity. If this issue had not been resolved well, his position as County Magistrate might not have been secure. However, to his immense gratitude, not only was the issue perfectly resolved, but it also brought a little surprise and an outcome beyond imagination, which naturally made him more than satisfied, almost wishing he could worship Tangyu like a Bodhisattva.
Originally, the County Magistrate and the villagers of Wan Mountain Village were eager to retain Tangyu and his team for another night before returning to Donglin City. But today was Friday, the day of the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, and since Tangyu had promised to attend, he would naturally keep his word. Moreover, Zhao Yaya had already called early to urge him. For tonight’s Dragon Phoenix Banquet, more than half of the Traditional Chinese Medicine representative team qualified to attend. So naturally, after dealing with the Wan Mountain Reservoir issue, everyone set off without delay, heading straight back to Donglin City.
Returning to Donglin City was still good; it was just past five o’clock, and there was still time. Tangyu had the driver take him back to Princess Apartments. Today, Lin Feifei and the others had come back a bit earlier, and when Tangyu arrived at Princess Apartments and entered the living room, he found to his surprise that Lin Feifei and the others had already dressed up. Lin Feifei was wearing the evening gown that Tangyu had accompanied her to pick up when she first arrived in Donglin City, which Tangyu had seen her wear only once since. It had to be said that Lin Feifei looked stunning in that evening gown, as if it had been custom-made for her, and it suited her incredibly well. Elegant and dignified yet without losing softness and charm, pure and beautiful, she looked really nice.
Guo Momo’s outfit leaned more toward mature and sexy, which highlighted Guo Momo’s originally inconspicuous noble coldness, transforming her instantly into an untouchable goddess. Guo Momo indeed had something of a goddess’s aura about her.
As for Zhao Yaya, naturally, she went for the cute route, dressing up like an adorable little princess. If Tangyu took her out on the street, some people might even think she was his daughter.
Seeing the three of them dressed so beautifully, Tangyu couldn’t help staring in awe for a moment. How could one not be astonished upon entering the home to such a scene? Especially with Guo Momo’s look that contained hints of cold allure, sexiness, and nobility, it made Tangyu really gawk, even causing him to unconsciously swallow.
"Hehe, Brother Good Guy, are you stunned? Aren’t we pretty?" Zhao Yaya said with a look of pride.
Tangyu covertly shifted his gaze away and chuckled foolishly, "Pretty, indeed pretty, all like fairies from the heavens."
"We are fairies from the heavens, after all. We’re so pretty, and you’re so sloppy, don’t you feel ashamed?" Zhao Yaya said.
Tangyu immediately disagreed, "Joking? I’m so handsome, so insightful, so cool, so full of charisma, no cheap clothes can hide my flamboyance."
"Aiya, don’t be so narcissistic. But no worries, we have already prepared your outfit. Hurry up and change your clothes, and I’ll do your hair. I guarantee you’ll look stylish and awesome. Brother Good Guy, today you have to show off your style; you’re the star today, you’re the king, you’re the most handsome Great Marshal," Zhao Yaya said.
"Little girl, you’ve got taste," Tangyu approved with satisfaction.
"Hurry up and strip."
"What? Strip, right here?"
"Yes, hurry up, don’t waste time."
"No, that’s embarrassing, can’t let you take advantage. Ah, what are you three doing, want to play female hooligans, huh? Don’t pull my clothes. Ah, don’t ruin my shirt, it’s pretty expensive, almost a hundred bucks a piece. Ah Feifei, help me—Whoa, who’s hand is that, wrong place—"
Despite Tangyu’s ’resistance’—well, at least that’s what he thought—he was ultimately undressed by Zhao Yaya and the other two female hooligans, leaving him in just his underwear. Tangyu was obviously not keen on such candid encounters with the three of them, but life is like rape; if you can’t resist it, you just have to accept it. So, Tangyu chose to comply.
Soon Tangyu was forcibly groomed by the three women, and looking in the mirror, he fell in love with his reflection: "Handsome, how can there be such a handsome man? Who is this guy? Hey, why is there a mirror here? That means this handsome man is me. I knew it, how could there be a guy that even makes me envious and jealous." freёnovelkiss.com

"Let’s go, let’s go," urged Zhao Yaya.
The four set out, making their way to Haidong Aquatic Pavilion.
The annual Dragon Phoenix Banquet had commenced, serving as the most prestigious, influential, and appealing event among Donglin City’s younger upper-class. It had long become a trend, a symbol of social status, a temptation irresistible to everyone in high society. The start of the Dragon Phoenix Banquet naturally became the most significant event of the year within Donglin City’s elite circles. All eyes were on the banquet.
And each year, countless young elites fought tooth and nail for the privilege of attending, sparing no effort or expense.
The Dragon Phoenix Banquet: the most revered representation of status in Donglin City’s upper class. For them, what mattered most were status and dignity. And the banquet was the ultimate symbol of those values.
Haidong Aquatic Pavilion was extraordinarily lively that day, its parking lot filled with luxury vehicles—common sights were Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and Bentleys, with a sea of supercars in view, alongside more imposing Maybachs and Rolls-Royces, and elegant Maseratis and Jaguars. That evening, the place resembled an international luxury car festival, a visual feast that could leave anyone in awe.
A conservative estimate would value these luxury cars at several billion. If word got out, it would likely cause a sensation nationwide.
The Land Rover that had been smashed at the Masquerade Bar was replaced by a more refined Bentley for Zhao Yaya’s brother, Zhao Wangxu. The car seemed quite fitting for Guo Momo. After parking, Tangyu and his company made their way to Haidong Aquatic Pavilion. It was evident that most attendees had arrived early, as the parking lot was nearly full. The perimeter of Haidong Aquatic Pavilion was cordoned off, and even the police force had been deployed, surrounding the area in tight security.
That day, Haidong Aquatic Pavilion would gather all of Donglin City’s elite. Should anything go wrong, it would be disastrous. Therefore, Donglin City police took the Dragon Phoenix Banquet very seriously, deploying a large detail for protection and to forestall any unforeseen incidents. Haidong Aquatic Pavilion, too, had sent out a plethora of bodyguards, putting the venue under top-level security, ensuring that no accidents would occur.
As the banquet was hosted by the Five Young Masters of Donglin, it was unlikely anyone would dare cause trouble. Besides, admission to Haidong Aquatic Pavilion required identity verification, making it impossible for outsiders to slip in. Security measures were exceptionally thorough.
Tangyu and his entourage naturally passed the check and entered Haidong Aquatic Pavilion smoothly.
"Divine Doctor Tang has arrived."
"Indeed, just as the rumors say, this Tangyu is lecherous by nature, always surrounded by beautiful women. It turns out the rumors are true. Tsk tsk, these three beauties are really stunning. Each has her own charm, quite flavorful indeed."
"Keep your voice down, that little Princess is Zhao Wangxu’s sister, the Princess of the Zhao family. Have you forgotten what happened the other day? If Zhao Wangxu gets angry, you’ll be in trouble."
Tangyu’s appearance naturally drew many gazes. Not to mention his reputation as Donglin City’s rising star in the upper echelons, just the presence of Guo Momo, Lin Feifei, and Zhao Yaya was enough to attract countless admiring looks. Those who were able to attend the Dragon Phoenix Banquet were considered the crème de la crème of Donglin City, each with remarkable family backgrounds and influence. And they all showed Tangyu the respect he deserved.
Tangyu’s fame had spread throughout the upper echelons long before, now even more resounding. Ever since he managed to outwit Liu Dingyang and Sun Wukong previously at Haidong Aquatic Pavilion, his name began to circulate. Just the fact that he dared to stand up to Madman Sun Wukong and Villain Liu Dingyang was enough to command caution from others. His later involvement in the Linshan Hero Incident and the subsequent larger Traditional vs. Western Medicine Conference bolstered Tangyu’s status towards the peak of his field.
By that time, Tangyu’s fame was comparable to that of the Five Young Masters of Donglin. Fame, influence, power, and status—Tangyu was no longer the same as before. He now possessed the ability to contend with the Five Young Masters of Donglin. Of course, he had still been lacking some family background. If Tangyu had some family power, he could well match the Five Young Masters of Donglin directly. Therefore, people naturally showed him due respect.
This man was not someone to offend lightly.
Many eagerly greeted Tangyu, displaying warm and pleasing manners, as if they had known him for a long time. Tangyu did not put on airs either, responding with smiles and nods. His transcendent medical skills alone were reason enough for everyone to curry favor with him. Befriending Tangyu was like acquiring an amulet—it naturally excited people.
