The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 3955: Chapter 3955: Laying the Trap (Second Update)

Qin Hongyue couldn’t refine the Soul Crystal, but the soul beast meat and some plants could be safely consumed.

At this moment, Qin Hongyue seemed to smell the aroma from the pot, her small nose twitching as she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the large iron pot, instinctively craving the food inside.

Ye Chen scooped up a bowl of soup and smiled at her: ”This soup tastes good. I made it using the Life hunted on this island. Have some.”

Qin Hongyue slightly frowned and said: ”Right now, it’s not the time for cooking...”

With the threat ahead, Ye Chen actually wants to cook something to eat?

It’s crucial for them to minimize leaving traces while lurking on Soul-devouring Island to reduce the risk of being discovered by Shi Fei...

Moreover, one can’t use soul power on the island. Going hunting recklessly, who knows if consuming this meat soup would have any side effects? After all, this is Soul-devouring Island, and the beasts that survive here might have strange attributes.

She still trusted this kid so much earlier...

Thinking of this, for some reason, Qin Hongyue’s pretty face blushed a little.

Ye Chen casually handed the bowl and chopsticks carved from the island’s timber to Qin Hongyue, laughing: ”Oh? Are you sure you don’t want to eat?”

Qin Hongyue coldly snorted, about to refuse, but as she looked at the light green soup with slices of thin meat floating like jade, she couldn’t help but swallow.

The rich aroma of meat seemed to instantly take over her body and merge into her blood. For some reason, facing this seemingly ordinary meat soup, she couldn’t resist!

Qin Hongyue silently warned herself: ”No! Qin Hongyue, you are the heir of Beihan Commerce and have tasted countless delicacies. How can you be tempted by such mere meat soup now?”

Having just criticized Ye Chen, how could she accept the meat soup he handed over!

But, regardless of how she resisted internally, her body yielded to desire. By the time she realized it, she’d taken the bowl of meat soup and was eating it, completely ignoring her poise!

Ye Chen seemed unconcerned by the scene. Given Qin Hongyue’s damaged divine soul, this soul-nourishing meat soup naturally attracted her. Not lunging forward was commendable.

He himself scooped up a bowl and savored it. Though Ye Chen was mostly unaffected by Soul-devouring Island’s powers, staying too long might tire his soul. Eating some soul beast meat daily could easily solve this issue.

Moreover, the soul beast’s taste was genuinely delightful.

Soon, the two finished the large pot of soul beast meat soup. Ye Chen looked at Qin Hongyue, whose face wore a satisfied smile, and spoke playfully: ”Miss Qin, didn’t you say now isn’t the time for cooking? How come you’re enjoying eating so much now? If it’s not enough, I can make some more for you...”

Qin Hongyue’s pretty face reddened, about to argue but suddenly, a look of extreme joy flashed in her eyes!

She exclaimed: ”The injury on my divine soul seems... seems to be healing...”

Soon, her gaze fell on the soup bowl in her hand. With her intelligence, how could she not realize that this was entirely due to the meat soup Ye Chen made!

Qin Hongyue looked up at Ye Chen, utterly shocked, stammering: ”You... you... you...”

This usually astute Miss Qin surprisingly found herself at a loss for words!

She indeed felt bewildered!

For martial artists across Chenyue Sea, Soul-devouring Island was considered an Evil Land. Why did it seem like Ye Chen treated it as his home?

Ye Chen admired Qin Hongyue’s astonished expression, mouth agape, watching until her face blushed as he explained his unique relationship with Soul-devouring Island and his possession of Soul-devouring Dao Rhythm.

After hearing Ye Chen’s explanation, Qin Hongyue was speechless again, gaining a new understanding of Ye Chen’s extraordinary capabilities.

Ye Chen packed away the iron pot and took out a piece of black-red timber, casually splitting it into several pieces which he stacked. With a flick of his finger, a spark ignited the wood, burning brightly.

In the cave, he made a campfire using spirit wood from Soul-devouring Island, which resisted the island’s cold and alleviated divine soul exhaustion.

The two sat beside the fire, the flames casting long shadows on the cave walls.

Qin Hongyue lowered her head, extending her delicate hands towards the fire, feeling its warmth. Within her graceful body, for some reason, a fire seemed to burn, growing hotter, as memories of meeting Ye Chen in the bathroom resurfaced...

The atmosphere in the cave became somewhat ambiguous. Just as Qin Hongyue’s beautiful eyes flickered, seemingly about to speak, Ye Chen’s expression suddenly shifted as he said: ”It’s here!”

”It’s here?” Qin Hongyue looked at Ye Chen questioningly, but quickly realized: ”You mean Shi Fei is here?”

...

Outside Soul-devouring Island, a man with a damaged body stood by the edge of the purple mist, his expression a bit sour, muttering to himself: ”They actually fled into this Soul-devouring Island?”

He hesitated, debating whether to enter the island.

Shi Fei’s origins were severely damaged, requiring at least three to five years to fully recover, meaning if he hides to heal now, Qin Hongyue would genuinely escape from his grasp!

To obtain Qin Hongyue, he sacrificed the entire Black Fin Pirate Group, even damaging his origins. How could he bear to return empty-handed?

Moreover, his greatly reduced power necessitated hiding in an extremely secluded place to heal. Without beautiful company, such life would be intensely dull!

Yet, entering Soul-devouring Island in his current state poses significant risks. Another injury might even regress his level of cultivation, falling out of the Qiankun Realm...

Glaring at the purple mist with his lone eye, light flashed wildly until he finally made the decision to step into Soul-devouring Island.

...

Qin Hongyue asked gravely: ”What do we do now?”

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said: ”Perhaps we have a chance to make him die!”

”What!” Qin Hongyue gasped. Ye Chen actually intended to kill Shi Fei?

Even heavily injured, Shi Fei still possessed Qiankun Realm power!

Ye Chen said: ”That person named Li Shan, although he mentioned wanting to kill Shi Fei, no one can be certain Li Shan will truly come to Soul-devouring Island. One’s fate must be grasped by oneself.”

Qin Hongyue frowned: ”But even though you can use spiritual sense on Soul-devouring Island, facing Shi Fei, you can’t defeat him, right?”

Ye Chen nodded: ”Indeed, with my current strength, I’m not Shi Fei’s match, but...”

His eyes flashed with cunning as he said: ”I said make him die, but I never mentioned doing it myself.”
