Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 703 - 681: Wait and See

Doctor Xiao and Xiao Yudie naturally stayed at Princess Apartments, which suddenly increased the number of female residents to eight. Eight chatterboxes, which made Zhao Yaya quite envious. Apart from Zhao Yaya and Xiao Yudie, all the others were Tangyu’s close female friends. With these women gathered together, the atmosphere was a bit strange. Although no one pointed it out explicitly, everyone knew about the relationships involved; it was just that this metaphorical layer of paper had not been completely pierced yet.

Lin Feifei and Guo Momo were the most relaxed, having fully confirmed their relationship with Tangyu; something that everyone knew, so both could be at ease.

Then there was Fang Min, who had also confirmed her relationship with Tangyu, a fact known to both Lin Feifei and Guo Momo. Besides, during Tangyu’s last injury, Fang Min had come over daily, so she too was naturally at ease.

Liu Shanshan, Mo Xiaoqing, and Doctor Xiao, on the other hand, felt somewhat constrained and awkward. Although they had some sort of understanding with Tangyu, their relationships were not fully confirmed, and with several of Tangyu’s girlfriends present, they found it difficult to adjust their positions and did not know how to interact with Tangyu or with Lin Feifei and the others.

Although the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, everyone was aware that a major event was about to unfold, which put everyone on edge.

Princess Apartments had only three rooms, clearly insufficient for so many people. Thus, Tangyu naturally took the honor of sleeping in the living room, while the other eight girls squeezed in together. Everyone else had headed upstairs, leaving only Doctor Xiao with Tangyu. Lin Feifei and the others knew that Doctor Xiao and Tangyu had matters to discuss, so they didn’t come over to disturb them. Zhao Yaya did think of joining in but was forcibly dragged away by Guo Momo, who ignored her resistance completely.

"A storm is coming; the air seems to be tinged with a hint of blood," Tangyu looked up at the night sky outside the window.

Doctor Xiao was also staring out the window into the dark night sky, "Yes, a storm is coming indeed. I’ve heard a thing or two about the Yin Medical Sect. There’s a rumor that the first disaster they caused sparked the First World War, and the second disaster led to the Second World War. Although that’s an exaggerated metaphor, it conveys the kind of bloodshed each appearance of the Yin Medical Sect brings. Their methods were extremely vicious in the past, causing countless deaths and great catastrophes. Now that they have reemerged after thirty years, who knows what kind of bloodshed they will bring this time. To think about it chills one’s heart. Even my master willingly served under the Yin Leader, whom I have never seen."

"Previously, the targets of the Yin Medical Sect were always within the Traditional Chinese Medicine community, but this time—" Tangyu shook his head, "The Yin Leader’s thoughts are unpredictable, and this time, I can’t understand what he wants. He has moved the battlefield to Donglin City; could it really be that he wants to concoct some unprecedented poison to target the entire population of Donglin City?"

"Target the entire Donglin City?" Doctor Xiao was also greatly alarmed, "The population of Donglin City exceeds twenty million. If the Yin Leader targets the people of Donglin City, it could be enough to trigger a tsunami of unprecedented proportion. It’s not impossible, given that this time, the Yin Leader has acquired the Flame Demon Scorpion King and is refining the Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill, which clearly is an extremely lethal poison. Once successful, if dispensed into Donglin City’s water supply system, it could result in countless deaths. If the Yin Leader really does this, he would be more terrifying than a devil, causing chaos throughout Huaxia. Could it be that the Yin Leader’s goal is indeed to stir chaos throughout Huaxia? Then, amidst the chaos, to rise and implement his unparalleled conspiracy?"

Tangyu’s expression also grew extremely grave, "If that’s the case, then the Yin Leader truly is mad, more dreadful than a demon. But what benefit is there for him in doing so? How does wreaking havoc help him? This isn’t ancient times; hoping to emerge as a hero from chaos is a foolish notion. The Yin Leader is a cunning and insidious man; every action he takes is purposeful. Having reemerged after thirty years indicates a world-shocking scheme that must greatly benefit him. Although the Yin Leader is ruthless, would he really dare target over twenty million people in Donglin City? If so, the military in Huaxia isn’t just for show; even if the Yin Leader ran to the ends of the earth, he couldn’t escape being hunted down. No matter how lethal his poison, the military has ways to defend against it. If the military decided to kill him, he wouldn’t survive."

Doctor Xiao thought for a moment and then shook his head, "I don’t know, I can only say it’s a possibility, we must act secretly and not judge by common sense. It’s better to believe it than not, precaution is always good. The possibility, when I think about it, is terrifying, and I also hope it won’t be the case."

He thought again, but still couldn’t make sense of it.

He sighed silently, and Tangyu said, "The urgent matter now is to figure out what Yin Master’s purpose really is, how his conspiracy and his plans are going to unfold. If we can’t understand these, we are completely at a loss on what to do, we can only watch as Yin Master unfolds his conspiracy. Once it gets to that point, everything is hard to recover, we can only fight desperately. I don’t want that situation to happen. Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill, using the Flame Demon Scorpion King as a Medicine Guide, sounds like a poison that can control others. If that’s the case, then Yin Master’s goal must be to control some people. This kind of poison is extremely rare and definitely very difficult to concoct, and even if successful, the quantity is extremely scarce. If these are used to control people, they can’t control many. Although Yin Master’s purpose isn’t clear yet, it probably has something to do with these. For now, we can only wait and see."

Tangyu really couldn’t think of any good methods, the forces he could mobilize were too small. People like Lengzi and Xiaoyu had to stay at Princess Apartments, protecting the safety of these women, so Tangyu naturally didn’t dare to let them go investigate. Moreover, while their strength was still decent, if they were discovered by Yin Master, it would surely be a dead end. Just a single Poisonous Person could probably kill Lengzi Xiaoyu, so Tangyu naturally wouldn’t dare let them take that risk.

The power of Chang Baosheng and Wei Yaoye was also too weak, besides, distant water can’t put out a nearby fire.

Although Xiao Yu was capable, Tangyu couldn’t rely on him for everything.

Waiting and seeing was also a method out of no other choice.

"Being able to sit here quietly like this, even thinking about it is a kind of happiness," Doctor Xiao suddenly said, yet there was a hint of sadness in her words.

This kind of happiness was extremely precious to Doctor Xiao, as whether there would be a tomorrow was uncertain. After all, her master surely wouldn’t let her go, nor would Yin Master likely spare her.

Gently wrapping his arm around Doctor Xiao’s shoulder, Tangyu said, "If you like, we can sit like this every day."

Doctor Xiao looked at Tangyu. She wanted to smile but couldn’t. Every day like this? How extravagant a wish was that? Having one day was extravagant enough for her, and that was sufficient. Every day, she had never even thought of that.

"From the moment I, Tangyu, was born, the word ’defeat’ wasn’t in my dictionary. I will guard everything around me with my life, no one can take anything away from me. Although Yin Master is powerful, I will definitely defeat him, because I am still young, I still have plenty of youth, I won’t die by Yin Master’s hands. Since ancient times, evil has never suppressed the just, the final victory will definitely belong to those who possess justice. And we, we have justice, so this time, it’s Yin Master who will surely die. After we win this battle, let’s leave Donglin City together, go to a paradise, and live our days like immortals. Over there, there will be no ethical morals, no worldly worries, no mortal world’s malicious air, only the happiness of the Immortal Realm, how about that?" Tangyu said.

Doctor Xiao stared blankly at Tangyu. The scene Tangyu described was too beautiful, almost unimaginably so.

But could she really afford to hope?

Could Tangyu really defeat the master of Yin?

She didn’t dare to think about it, nor did she want to, as thinking more about it only made her more upset. At this moment, not thinking about anything was the only way to feel the last bit of happiness and quietly enjoy this final time.

"Believe me, will you?" Tangyu asked again.

"Can I—really?" Doctor Xiao was somewhat unsure.

Tangyu smirked, "Silly girl, of course you can, as long as you are willing. You might not believe in yourself, but you must believe in me."

"But—you have so many women, could you really care about one more?" Doctor Xiao said.

Tangyu replied, "No matter how many women I have, I will always care about you. To each of you, I am sincere and faithful. I am willing to use my life to protect and love you. My love for each of you is equal."

Hearing this, Doctor Xiao wanted to laugh, but it was a cold laugh.

In this age, to find a man who could so boldly and calmly step on several boats.

"I don’t need you to care about me, nor will I go with you. What do you take me for? I refuse to be your mistress." Doctor Xiao shook her head, rejecting him.

Tangyu knew that what Doctor Xiao said was against her genuine feelings, she wanted to escape, she didn’t dare to face all this, or perhaps didn’t know how to face it.

Tangyu, ignoring Doctor Xiao’s struggle, held her tightly in his arms, "You are my woman, there’s no escape for you. You will never escape from the palm of my hand in this lifetime. I intend to possess you dominantly; you will always be my woman."

Such dominance was incredibly sweet and blissful to Doctor Xiao’s heart.

Yet, she really didn’t know how to face all this.

"You are too full of yourself," Doctor Xiao said.

"Only capable people have the right to be arrogant. I believe I am capable, so allow me to be arrogant this once. In love, I have always been domineering, just think of me as a dictator of love," Tangyu said.

"..."

Doctor Xiao was also at a loss, unsure what to do, truly in utter disarray.

Deep inside, she wanted to be with Tangyu, but Tangyu had too many women. To share him with so many others, what was she then?

She would not have even considered such a situation before. But now, faced with it all, she naturally struggled to accept it. Thus, she wanted to escape, loving someone didn’t necessarily mean having to possess them. She could let go, she could keep it quietly in her heart. Though this would make her very sad, she didn’t mind at all. Hadn’t she always lived like this all these years?

It was only Tangyu’s persistence made it impossible for her to refuse, nor did she know how to. Resistance, for her, had already become very weak.
