Peerless Divine Doctor

”No, the moment you appear in the secular world, you will inevitably attract the attention of certain people. It’s not time for us to be exposed yet. Otherwise, if those major powers start to investigate and trace our whereabouts, the Five Elements Sect will surely suffer another heavy blow. We must not be careless.”

”Sect Leader, what do you suggest?” The woman in the yellow robe looked at the other woman with a somewhat puzzled gaze.

”No one but those from our Five Elements Sect can use the Fire Origin Pearl, so it’s fine to leave it with that young man for now. We currently only have the Earth Origin Bead and Water Origin Bead in our hands; the Wood Origin Bead and Metal Origin Bead are still unaccounted for. We must find them as soon as possible. Only by assembling all five Elemental Beads can our Five Elements Sect have a chance for revenge.”

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the woman in the multicolored garment as she spoke coldly.

”Alright, Li Tiancheng, you may go back first. I will notify you if there’s anything,” the woman said indifferently.

Li Tiancheng nodded and quickly left the underground castle.

Soon after, a woman dressed in red leather strode into a room in the underground castle, launching a palm strike that shattered a table to pieces.

”Damn it, Duan Ningyu has recovered her strength so quickly. I didn’t expect that,” Huo Ji hissed coldly, her expression somewhat gloomy.

”Elder, what should we do now? It seems the Sect Leader is already displeased with you.”

A woman dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, with a cold visage, stood behind Huo Ji and spoke.

”Hmph, what does it matter if she is displeased? With Jin Yunhai and Lin Zhishan, those two old fools, holding her back, she, Duan Ningyu, wouldn’t dare do anything to me unless she wants to give up her position as Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect,” Huo Ji sneered, her eyes shimmering with an indescribable cold light.

”Leng Ying, I have a task I need you to complete,” Huo Ji said abruptly as she turned around, her gaze fixed on the woman before her.

”Please give your command, Elder. Leng Ying will surely fulfill it,” the woman said with a resolute look in her eyes.

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Huo Ji’s mouth as a strange glint passed in her eyes, ”I want you to help me retrieve the Fire Origin Pearl.”

”What? That?” The woman’s face showed shock.

”What’s the matter? You don’t have the courage?”

”No, Elder, I will see to the task you’ve given me. It’s just, if the Sect Leader finds out about this, I’m afraid...?”

Huo Ji snorted coldly, ”Of course, she mustn’t know about this. I’ll find an excuse for you to leave this place. You must retrieve the Fire Origin Pearl for me. With the Fire Origin Pearl in my possession, I won’t have to fear Duan Ningyu anymore.”

Leng Ying’s eyes flashed with a peculiar luster, ”As you command, Elder. I will definitely complete the mission.”

...

In Zhonghai, a new day began, with warmth like the first sunrise shining upon the earth.

Ye Luo awoke from his cultivation, full of vitality. Now with his strength broken through to the Innate Late Stage, even masters at the Innate Peak Stage posed no threat to him.

His current opponents were those at the Half-Saint Realm. He was very much looking forward to meeting Bing Xin from Ruthless Valley and Lei Ting from Qingyun Sect again to see whose strength had truly become greater.

And lying beside Ye Luo was naturally a woman, Yan Ling. Just last night, not long after he had entered his room, Yan Ling came into his room, forcing him to ”pay his dues.” Only after satisfying her was he able to cultivate and consolidate his realm breakthrough from the previous night.

”Wake up, my beautiful lady,” Ye Luo said, looking at the sleeping Yan Ling.

”Sister Yan... and moreover, quite big, definitely a boon for bearing sons,” Ye Luo said with a mischievous laugh.

”Pfft, who said I would bear sons for you?” Yan Ling glanced at Ye Luo coquettishly.

Ye Luo embraced Yan Ling and said, ”If you won’t bear them for me, for whom do you intend to?”

”With so many women around you, do you still need me to bear sons for you?”

”Of course, I need you. Each one of you can bear me a son and a daughter; then, in twenty or thirty years, I’ll be surrounded by a house full of descendants. What a wonderful thing that would be,” Ye Luo mused.

Yan Ling’s eyes also held a touch of confusion as her mind conjured up a certain image.

”Alright, let’s create life tonight,” Yan Ling made a decision and said to Ye Luo.

”Whoa, there’s no need to rush, I was just talking,” Ye Luo said, somewhat surprised as he looked at Yan Ling.

”I’m already twenty-eight this year, nearly thirty. Do you expect me to wait until I’m thirty to have children? That’s not healthy for the baby. Besides, a woman’s status rises with her son. If I bear your first son, wouldn’t my status also rise with the title of the eldest son’s mother?” Yan Ling reasoned.

Ye Luo’s lips curved into a reluctant smile; this woman really had a way of thinking.

Stepping out of the room, Zi Yun appeared before Ye Luo, looping her arm through his and said affectionately, ”Big brother, good morning.”

”Morning. How did you sleep last night?”

”It was okay, but I still want to sleep with you, big brother,” Zi Yun said with a laugh.

Ye Luo was momentarily speechless.

At that moment, Luo Jingxuan came out and said, ”Hurry up and eat. After we finish, we need to go to the press conference venue. The conference will start at ten, and nothing must go wrong with this press conference.”

”Don’t worry, we’ve already come this far, what else could go wrong? Now we just wait for the product to go on sale, and then we can sit back at home and count our money,” Yan Ling joked.

”We can’t relax our vigilance. This product has caused such a stir, it’s hard to ensure that our competitors won’t try anything underhanded. And then there’s the Wang Family father and son; they’ve been quiet ever since that incident with the medicinal materials, and I’m worried they’re brewing some kind of plot.”

”That’s not possible, is it? Would they still dare do anything to Mei Yue?” Yan Ling was somewhat incredulous.

”The Wang Family is the leading force in Zhonghai’s cosmetics industry. Over sixty percent of Zhonghai’s skincare and whitening products are produced by the Wang Family. Our emergence will deal the biggest blow to them, so naturally they will not let this go without a fight,” Luo Jingxuan said gravely.

”Hmph, if they dare pull any small tricks again, I’ll make sure they regret ever coming into this world,” Ye Luo snorted coldly.

”Ye Luo, don’t be reckless,” Luo Jingxuan warned him.

Ye Luo smiled slightly, ”Don’t worry about me, I won’t have any problems. You just focus on your press conference today; I’ll take care of everything else.”

Then Luo Jingxuan, together with Yan Ling and Lin Xiaoyan, went ahead to the press conference venue to prepare. Ye Luo waited until past nine o’clock before he and Zi Yun went to the conference venue.
