The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4059: Chapter 4059: Bastard? (Second Update)

Xi Rong’er blushed but tried her best to maintain a nonchalant look as she said, ”What are you looking at? I... I can’t eat food?”

Ye Chen touched his nose and said, ”It’s nothing, let’s go.”

The two of them walked side by side toward the outside of the hall. On this small island, there were indeed many snacks exuding a strong spiritual energy, most of which were foods never seen before, but they didn’t hold much attraction for Ye Chen.

But all of a sudden, Xi Rong’er stopped in her tracks, her beautiful eyes fixated on a certain spot as if she were mesmerized.

Seeing this, Ye Chen, filled with curiosity, followed Xi Rong’er’s gaze. He was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face.

It turned out that Xi Rong’er was staring at strings of crystal-clear food, emanating a seven-colored glow and an extremely sweet aroma.

These foods seemed to be made from a certain red spiritual fruit, coated with syrup made from various spiritual flowers. The syrup congealed into a glass-like seven-colored coating over the red fruit, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

To Ye Chen, these fruit strings were quite similar to candied haws on sticks from Earth, a treat that girls usually find irresistible.

He glanced at Xi Rong’er and saw that drool was nearly about to drip from her cherry lips. He couldn’t help but laugh, ”Want to eat it? I’ll buy it for you.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Rong’er seemed a bit hesitant. While she did want to eat it, this kind of snack was generally meant for very young children. At her age, eating this would surely be laughable...

Ye Chen, seeing Xi Rong’er’s expression, shook his head, grabbed her wrist, and led her toward the fruit stand.

A trace of panic flashed in Xi Rong’er’s beautiful eyes, but she slightly lowered her head and did not resist, letting Ye Chen guide her along.

Ye Chen said to the vendor, ”What is this fruit stick called?”

The vendor, a middle-aged woman, smiled and replied, ”This is a specialty of our Black Sea, Flower-shaped candy apples. I personally harvested hundreds of kinds of spiritual flowers and brewed syrup out of flower nectar to drizzle on this Red Essence Fruit. It’s fragrant and delicious. You two aren’t from Black Sea, are you? If you’re visiting Black Sea, you must try this Flower-shaped candy apple.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Give me two sticks.”

These fruit sticks even had a name similar to candied haws.

The woman took two candy apples off the wooden skewers, handed them to Ye Chen, and said, ”Young man, you’re in luck. I’ve picked so many exquisitely beautiful spiritual flowers, but none have been as captivating as this young lady here.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Rong’er’s pretty face turned completely red, full of shyness, but she did not explain. Instead, a trace of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”The vendor misunderstood, we’re not a Daoist couple. She might as well be my sister.”

Hearing this, the woman felt a bit embarrassed and said, ”I apologize, I didn’t mean to offend, please don’t take offense.”

Ye Chen waved it off casually, saying, ”It’s no bother.” With that, he handed a candy apple to Xi Rong’er.

However, Xi Rong’er, who just moments ago had shown signs of joy, now had a sullen look on her face. Her eyes seemed like a brewing storm, shooting daggers at Ye Chen as if he owed her a hundred Primordial Origin Artifacts.

Ye Chen’s wrist trembled, startled by this look from Xi Rong’er. He twitched his lips and said, ”What’s wrong with you? Don’t you like it? If you don’t, I’ll eat it myself...”

Xi Rong’er snorted coldly, snatched the candy apple from Ye Chen’s hand, and took a ferocious bite of a red fruit as if to vent her frustration on the candy apple.

Ye Chen, seeing this, couldn’t help but show a wry smile, not knowing what he had done wrong...

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen and Xi Rong’er.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed as he looked at the two. It was a man and a woman, their skin pale, with a hint of necrosis. His pupils slightly contracted; these two were very young, only four hundred years old, under five hundred, yet their auras were certainly not weak!

Moreover, after Ye Chen executed the Cloud Clearing Three Techniques, he discovered that the true strength of these two was slightly higher than that of Xi Rong’er!

Xi Rong’er, upon seeing these two, also slightly frowned, but she didn’t show much surprise as she said, ”Xing Bei, Xing Linghua, what are you doing here?”

The people of the nine royal families, especially the geniuses from each family, naturally wouldn’t be too unfamiliar with each other.

Xing Linghua sneered, ”What? Just because we’re all royal family members, we can’t meet and chat?”

She glanced at Ye Chen, standing next to Xi Rong’er, and said, ”Am I disturbing you and your little pretty boy? Heh, Rong’er sister sure knows how to enjoy life. With the Hua Yue Competition coming up, you still have the mind to play with a man?”

Upon hearing this, Xi Rong’er’s beautiful eyes turned icy as she said, ”Xing Linghua, what nonsense are you spouting? He’s someone from my Xi Family!”

”Xi Family?”

Hearing this, Xing Bei’s eyes flashed with surprise as he said, ”I didn’t know anyone like that in the Xi Family. You say he’s a Xi Family member. So, is he also here to participate in the Hua Yue Competition?”

Xing Linghua’s eyes suddenly lit up as she said, ”A few days ago, there was news that someone returned to your Xi Family, a young man recognizing his ancestry. Could it be him?”

Xing Bei also showed a look of realization and said, ”So it’s this guy?”

Xi Rong’er said coldly, ”Now that you know, Xing Linghua, shouldn’t you apologize to us?”

Although she had some conflict with Ye Chen at the altar earlier, that was a matter for the Xi Family. Outside, no one could be disrespectful to Ye Chen!

Moreover, even aside from identity, she didn’t want Ye Chen to be called a pretty boy in her heart.

Xing Linghua and Xing Bei exchanged a look, both showing ridicule on their faces.

Xing Linghua said playfully, ”Apologize? Xi Rong’er, aren’t you overestimating yourself? Even if you want me to apologize, who cares? This guy, at best, is an illegitimate child, at worst, a bastard. Do you understand? What right does he have to make me apologize?”

For a moment, the entire small island seemed to fall silent!

With a loud bang, Dao Integration around Xi Rong’er surged instantly. The scenery around everyone shifted, suddenly placing them atop a high peak. A stone sword appeared in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with raging fury, as she fiercely slashed toward Xing Linghua!

She knew the Xing siblings had come here to provoke her, but Xing Linghua’s mockery of Ye Chen’s background had really crossed the line!

Surprise also flashed in Xing Linghua’s eyes; she wasn’t expecting Xi Rong’er to be so furious and to attack without a word at full force.

But soon, she showed a cold smile and said, ”Bring it on!”

She was here for a fight, and Xi Rong’er taking the initiative suited her fine!
