Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 688 - 666: Doctor Xiao’s Invitation

Bi Yue Pavilion, Tangyu had come here for the third time. The scenes from his previous visits were still vivid in his mind, as if those events had occurred just yesterday.

From the initial curiosity when he first saw Bi Yue Pavilion, to the stunning moment he met Doctor Xiao, and then to the co-operation with Doctor Xiao at the Chinese-Western medicine conference, each scene flitted through Tangyu’s mind. Strictly speaking, Tangyu hadn’t spent a long time with Doctor Xiao, but every encounter had been very pleasant. At least, Doctor Xiao had indeed earned Tangyu’s great admiration. Among women, Doctor Xiao was the only one whom Tangyu genuinely admired. Today, his visit to Bi Yue Pavilion was by invitation.

Early on, Yan Ru was waiting at the entrance for Tangyu. The first time Yan Ru met Tangyu, she had not been very friendly. However, this time she was very respectful and polite, "Divine Doctor, please come inside!"

Dressed in a cheongsam, Yan Ru looked like an ancient beauty who had stepped out of a painting, wholly unlike a modern woman. Whether it was her aura or attire, she possessed a classical beauty. Tangyu suddenly thought that if Yan Ru acted in a historical film, she would probably perform very charmingly.

He quickly passed through the courtyard and soon arrived at Doctor Xiao’s room. The room was filled with an ancient charm, misty with incense smoke, and the air carried a fragrance neither too strong nor too light, soothing to the mind and invigorating to the spirit, erasing all fatigue in the moment. This scent also had the effect of energizing and focusing the mind, which was quite precious. Such valuable items were only used as spices by Doctor Xiao, and that indeed was a bold stroke. Sitting at the dark red rosewood tea table, Doctor Xiao was attentively brewing tea, seemingly unaware of Tangyu’s arrival.

Doctor Xiao looked exceptionally beautiful today, draped in a sheer long dress that made her appear ethereal and otherworldly, almost like a celestial fairy not partaking in the mortal world’s mundane affairs. Doctor Xiao, engrossed in tea-making, looked breathtakingly beautiful, a beauty so profound that it nearly left one breathless. This kind of beauty was beyond any descriptive words, almost like a celestial charm. In terms of beauty, perhaps only Huangfu Jing and Zhang Xiaodong could compare to her. Even Lin Feifei, Guo Momo, Liu Shanshan, and Liu Shiyi seemed to lack that special essence when compared to Doctor Xiao.

In terms of aura, they were just a tad behind.

Liking someone is a kind of feeling. At least for Tangyu, that was true. True liking might be decided with just one glance. As for falling in love over time, Tangyu didn’t know if that applied to him, but at least he hadn’t experienced it yet.

Tangyu sat down, his gaze still fixed on Doctor Xiao, observing her every move, each one enchantingly beautiful.

After a while, Doctor Xiao finished brewing the tea and poured a cup for Tangyu, then finally looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, "Have a taste."

Tangyu didn’t hold back, picking up the tea cup and gently sipping it, closing his eyes in pure enjoyment, "Excellent tea. Doctor Xiao, your mastery in the art of tea is truly admirable, perhaps even comparable to my own master."

Hearing such praise, Doctor Xiao smiled lightly, "Divine Doctor Tang, you flatter me too much. I dare not compare myself to the Ghost Doctor. It’s just a hobby, nothing serious, probably not valuable enough to catch his attention."

"He would value it, he would! Heh, if my master saw you, he’d probably want to take you as an apprentice," Tangyu said with a smile.

"To hear you say that is quite flattering. I’ve long admired the great reputation of the Ghost Doctor, truly a source of inspiration," Doctor Xiao replied.

Tangyu smiled wryly, "Well, he would be flattered. If my master knew that such a beautiful woman admired him, he’d probably die happy," Tangyu said truthfully, since the Ghost Doctor often boasted about his youthful romantic escapades in his presence.

Tangyu was originally a pure and honest young man, but his master had corrupted him. Thus Tangyu often thought, if he turned into a lecher today, it would all be his master’s doing.

"You’ve made quite a splash again recently. In the high society of Donglin City, you are now a highly sought-after figure. Before, some called you one of ’Donglin’s top six young masters.’ Now, many directly refer to you all as ’the six young masters of Donglin.’ This time, you truly shook up the upper echelons of Donglin City thoroughly, significantly elevating your status. You’ve reached a point where a mere stomp of your foot can make the whole city tremble. Thinking back, it’s quite sentimental. I still remember our first meeting very clearly. It was only two months ago, but the changes have been so vast," Doctor Xiao said.

Tangyu sipped his tea and replied, "Doctor Xiao, why do I feel like you’re mocking me?"

"Heh, I’m absolutely praising you. How could I dare mock you? Your fame, influence, and power now far surpass mine. I am merely envious," Doctor Xiao responded.

Tangyu cocked his head and smiled, knowing well this wasn’t Doctor Xiao’s true feelings.

The two chatted leisurely, and the pot of tea was quickly emptied. Talking about life and beauty with a stunning woman was truly enjoyable and lightened Tangyu’s spirits, as if he had received a mental solace.

"Something on your mind?" Doctor Xiao suddenly asked.

Tangyu looked at Doctor Xiao, shaking his head with a light chuckle, "Truly, nothing escapes your eyes. They say a man with a story tries to look profound, but it seems I can’t pull off that depth, or else you wouldn’t have seen through me so easily. What a failure, I thought I could pass as a man with a story. Evidently, my experiences are still too shallow," he replied.

Doctor Xiao smiled gently, "You indeed have quite a few stories to tell. Would you mind sharing some with me? Although I’m certain I can’t help you with them, I’m willing to listen. I’m curious about what could trouble Doctor Xiao so much. I used to think nothing would phase you, but perhaps I’ve blindly admired you too much." freewёbnoνel-com

"Haha, you admire me?" Tangyu actually laughed, "Then try admiring me now, I’d really find that amusing."

Doctor Xiao smiled silently. Today, she seemed less aloof than usual, perhaps because she had become more familiar with Tangyu. Even a woman as cold as ice could melt.

Tangyu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you should know what’s troubling me. I mentioned it to you the first time we met."

"Oh, are you talking about the Yin Medical Sect?" Doctor Xiao’s expression shifted slightly.

Tangyu nodded and replied, "Yes, the Yin Medical Sect. Besides them, what else could give me such headaches? I’ve had some bad premonitions these past few days, feeling restless, as if something is about to happen, like a storm about to break. The grand conspiracy of the Yin Medical Sect might burst soon. Right now, I’m completely at a loss and don’t know how to deal with it. Sigh, to outsiders, I seem to be in a glorious position, but only I know how difficult it really is. I lack manpower and power, and my renowned status is useless. When facing the powerful Yin Medical Sect, I feel like a small loach facing a giant wave, probably about to be swallowed whole. It’s such a headache."

Doctor Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said, "I’ve never seen you so lacking in confidence, Divine Doctor Tang! Facing the aggressive delegation of Western doctors, you were so mighty, slaughtering left and right, a sight of majestic awe! Today, this isn’t like the usual you. You’ve been in Donglin City for three months now, and with your wide connections and current reputation, if you make a call to arms, surely many would respond. You’re somewhat a local authority now, why so unconfident?"

Tangyu shook his head, "All that is superficial. Relationships are just relationships; I can’t expect those young masters to fight to death for me, can I? The attack by the Yin Medical Sect isn’t so simple. Three months is too little time, and right now, I’m completely clueless, like facing a hidden demon in the dark. I’m just one person, and I’m supposed to confront a powerful sect like the Yin Medical Sect. It’s no wonder I’m lacking confidence. Sigh, let it be, this is my mission, I might as well risk my life then."

"What about your master, the Ghost Doctor?" asked Doctor Xiao.

"Ah, don’t even mention my master. If he could help, he wouldn’t have sent me to Donglin City. My master has retired to live a life of freedom in Ghost Valley and has sworn never to leave it for the rest of his life. When I left, he told me that even if I died outside, he wouldn’t come out to retrieve my body. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Do you have any alcohol here? I suddenly feel like drinking to ease my mind."

Doctor Xiao’s expression darkened, and she regained composure, shaking her head, "I never drink, and I don’t have alcohol here."

"No alcohol? Then let’s have some tea," Tangyu said.

Doctor Xiao quickly brewed another pot of tea and poured a cup for Tangyu, comforting him, "Don’t be too anxious. I know very little about these matters and don’t know what to say or how to help you. But I believe in your abilities."

"Hehe, your words make me feel much better," Tangyu replied with a smile.

They drank tea for a while, and soon the second pot of tea was also about to be finished.

"By the way, Doctor Xiao, you didn’t invite me here today just to catch up and ask how I am, did you?" Tangyu suddenly said.

Doctor Xiao replied, "Since you’ve brought it up, I won’t be coy. Tangyu, you know that us Gu Doctors are very interested in various insects. Your Flame Demon Scorpion King is the king of Poisonous Insects, the foremost of all. I’ve been very interested in it, so I wanted to boldly ask you to let me see it, just to take a look."

"Oh." Tangyu’s brows slightly raised as he looked at Doctor Xiao.

Doctor Xiao said, "I understand this request might seem abrupt and presumptuous. If it’s inconvenient for you, never mind, I was just curious."

"Hehe, alright, since you, Doctor Xiao, have asked, it would be quite unfriendly not to satisfy your request. After all, we’re still friends, right? Since you’ve asked, it would be hard for me to refuse. Let’s make an exception this time," Tangyu said with a smile.

Doctor Xiao’s fists were quietly clenched under the table.

Tangyu opened his mouth and extended his hand, and a red light flew out. In no time, the Flame Demon Scorpion King flew onto Tangyu’s hand, clearly displeased at being disturbed from its rest.

"This is the Flame Demon Scorpion King. I’ve only seen it once in ancient books, truly a ruler among the myriad insects, indeed possessing the air of a sovereign. Looking at it, it seems about to reach maturity, right?" Doctor Xiao said, gazing at the Flame Demon Scorpion King with fascination.

Tangyu opened his mouth and took back the Flame Demon Scorpion King, nodding, "Hmm, it should mature in a few days."
