Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 854: Chapter 723: Flaunting Wealth? You’ve Come to the Right Person

Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao didn’t wait long before they saw a waiter come out and usher Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun inside.

Having killed so much recently, Ye Lingyue lost her taste for meat and casually ordered a few light dishes, along with a jar of Five Treasures Brew. Before they started eating, they saw a young man and woman walking over.

In the full view of the public, the man was hugging the woman next to him, very affectionately. It wasn’t clear what the man was whispering into the woman’s ear, but it made her giggle ceaselessly.

The woman’s smiling face was radiant like a blossom, but when she turned her head, she saw Ye Lingyue.

With her lips painted in top-grade rouge, her smile seemed rather licentious.

”Ye Lingyue, Family Head Feng, it’s been like three years since our last meeting in Xia Capital, it’s been too long indeed,” said the woman.

To their surprise, it turned out to be Hong Mingyue.

After the failed rebellion of the Hong Residence, her direct Hong relatives had either been killed or executed, yet Hong Mingyue, relying on Three-Life Valley, had escaped this calamity.

Since then, Hong Mingyue had seemingly faded from view, not even taking the bodies of a few members of the Hong family for burial.

Ye Lingyue heard that she was engaged to Luo Song and thought she would stay quietly in Three-Life Valley. Unexpectedly, she would meet her here, and the man beside her was not Luo Song.

When she heard the Canghai Three-Life Song in the Desert Garden, Ye Lingyue had suspected that people from Three-Life Valley might also be in Sifang City, but she didn’t expect to run into Hong Mingue, much less to see her so transformed after just over half a year—completely different from before.

Previously, Hong Mingyue had a demeanor that was cold and indifferent to everyone.

But today, she was hanging onto the man like a clinging vine, acting frivolously and allowing the man to freely touch her. Was this still the Hong Mingyue they knew?

”Yue’er, do you know them?” The man with Hong Mingyue was tall and muscular, with bright, piercing eyes, clearly a formidable Martial Artist.

In fact, this man was Lie Xuyang, a Master Disciple of the Fiery Sun Sect, one of the Nine Sects.

He had come to Sifang City to attend the auction following the World’s First Refining, where he unexpectedly met Hong Mingyue. They quickly became infatuated, losing his senses over her.

Hearing that nauseating address of ”Yue’er,” Feng Xun frowned slightly.

”She is my sister, don’t you think we look alike? The man beside her is the head of the Feng Residence. My sister’s luck in life is much better than mine; not only is she beautiful, but she also found a superior husband,” said Hong Mingyue, sarcastically indicating herself and Ye Lingyue as though she had entirely forgotten the animosity between herself and Ye Lingуue.

”Feng Residence? You mean the now obsolete Beiqing Feng Mansion? Yue’er, why envy her? Could my Fiery Sun Sect not compare to a declining Feng Mansion?” Lie Xuyang glanced at Ye Lingyue several times, seeing that she indeed was a top-grade beauty, feeling some jealousy towards Feng Xun, and even more disdain when he saw that Feng Xun knew no martial arts.

The Empress of Beiqing had abdicated, and Feng Residence had withdrawn from Beiqing, an event that had caused quite a stir on the mainland.

Those who didn’t know the full story thought that Feng Residence, having lost the support of the Beiqing Empress, was facing bankruptcy and was no longer enjoying the glory of being the wealthiest.

Seeing the greedy look in Lie Xuyang’s eyes, Hong Mingyue inwardly sneered. Men were mostly like that, always looking for the next best thing while still eating from their bowl.

”Sister, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Do you mind if we join you for dinner?” Hong Mingyue pretended to be friendly and was about to sit down.

”Lady Luo, this table is too small to accommodate so many people, and our Ling Yue has not been feeling well recently, seeing certain unsavory characters might make even eating difficult,” said Feng Xun in a tone neither salty nor flat.

Hearing this address, Lie Xuyang was puzzled.

”Do Brother Lie not know that this lady by your side has already been betrothed to the Young Valley Master of Three-Life Valley, and the two of them are deeply in love?” Feng Xun pierced through the truth, making Hong Mingyue’s pretty face look not so good.

”Ming Yue, is that really true?” Lie Xuyang, unaware of the inside story, had only recently become a Master Disciple and certainly couldn’t afford to tarnish his reputation by meddling with someone else’s fiancée.

”Brother Lie, that was just a verbal agreement between our parents, you know I don’t like Luo Song.” Hong Mingyue gave Feng Xun a covert glare and didn’t dare linger by the table any longer. Taking Lie Xuyang by the hand, she moved to another table, not forgetting to give Feng Xun a glare before leaving.

Lie Xuyang also felt somewhat displeased, at this moment, the dishes for Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun’s table had arrived.

Lie Xuyang glanced over a few times and then loudly instructed the waiter.

”Prepare a set of dishes and drinks identical to ours for that table. It’s rare to be in Four Directions Tavern; how can they eat such plain food? It seems the Feng Residence truly isn’t what it once was, even having to economize on food. Put their bill on our table.”

Hearing this, Hong Mingyue let out a smile, shooting a glance at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue raised her eyebrows, about to explode.

The waiter quickly came over and said next to Lie Xuyang.

”Dear guest, the dishes will be ready immediately, but your food and drink expenses have already been instructed by Young Master Feng to be put on his tab.”

”What kind of service is this at Four Directions Tavern? When did I ever say I wanted him to pay for it? Do you think the Pure Yang Sect can’t afford this money?” Unable to show off, Lie Xuyang’s face lost its luster, he lashed out at the waiter.

”Guest, this tavern is actually a property of Feng Residence, we ask for your understanding.”

The waiter reluctantly explained.

Upon hearing this, Lie Xuyang snorted, he hadn’t expected that even within Four Directions City, there would be properties owned by Feng Residence.

”Forget it, forget it, this meal isn’t enjoyable anyway. Yue’er, let’s go somewhere else,” Lie Xuyang said, preparing to stand up.

”Brother Lie, several of the taverns and guest houses in the city and even the tea houses are properties of Feng Residence. If you take a liking to any, you can later report the name Feng at the entrance and also put it on the tab,” Feng Xun casually remarked, even helping Ye Lingyue by picking up some honey-roasted lotus root with chopsticks.

Ye Lingyue ate very comfortably and at ease.

Lie Xuyang choked up, his face turning pale with anger.

”Let it be, Brother Lie, since Family Head Feng is being so polite, why should we refuse the kindness? Let’s just eat here,” Hong Mingyue’s smile also somewhat stiffened.

They say Feng Residence is the richest in the world, not missing out on anything in food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

She had thought it was an exaggeration before, but now it seems not untrue.

The two of them barely sat down, the dishes were quickly served, but their eating was as if chewing wax, completely tasteless.

On the other hand, Ye Lingyue ate with sweat on her forehead, and Feng Xun occasionally wiping it for her.

Seeing the intimate interaction between Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue, Hong Mingyue felt jealous, right when the drinks were served, she poured herself a cup, and after taking a sip, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
