Medical and Martial God

Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Qin Qing Cosplays Spider-Man

In the bamboo forest of Hundred Flowers Valley, inside the courtyard of a bamboo house!

The Long Family’s Master sat on a lounge chair, waving a palm-leaf fan with his right hand and perusing a list titled ’Huang Quan’s Life and Death Roster’ in his left.

The first name on the list was Long Zhen, followed by some information about him. It wasn’t detailed, but it pointed directly to the Long Family.

”It seems Huang Quan knows very little about the Long Family.”

The Long Family’s Master smiled, then scoffed, ”Releasing the Life and Death Roster on the eve of his battle with Ba Dao... hmph. Huang Quan, oh, Huang Quan, when you die under Ba Dao’s blade, this list will become your laughingstock.”

Just then, the middle-aged woman hurried back.

The Long Family’s Master asked, puzzled, ”Didn’t I tell you to stay outside and report back only after the battle between Huang Quan and Ba Dao had concluded?”

”The battle between Huang Quan and Ba Dao has already ended,” the middle-aged woman said.

The Long Family’s Master paused for a moment, then laughed. ”So Huang Quan was that easily defeated? Killed by Ba Dao this quickly? I thought he could at least last a few hours under Ba Dao’s blade.”

”Ba Dao is dead!” the middle-aged woman stated.

”What?!”

The Long Family’s Master froze as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned for a full minute before he asked in shock, ”What... what did you say?”

”Huang Quan killed Ba Dao, and he did it with a single strike. In terms of strength, Ba Dao wasn’t even in the same league,” the woman reported.

”This...” The Long Family’s Master’s face paled. He said in disbelief, ”How is that possible? I have seen Ba Dao’s strength with my own eyes. He was the first person in over two thousand years to reach the War God realm without a Cultivation Technique, relying solely on his own talent. Moreover, his blade techniques are peerlessly ferocious and overwhelmingly powerful. How could Huang Quan possibly kill him in one move?”

”This is the video of Huang Quan instantly killing Ba Dao.” The middle-aged woman handed her phone to the Long Family’s Master.

With trembling hands, he quickly took the phone and played the video. When he saw Ye Xiu’s blade pierce Ba Dao’s heart, he jolted in fright, and the phone slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground.

”His... his speed with the blade was so fast I couldn’t even see it clearly. Ba Dao didn’t even have time to react before he was hit. His... his strength is absolutely terrifying.”

The Long Family’s Master was panic-stricken, his face a mask of dread.

”Huang Quan fought his way across a thousand miles, slaughtering countless soldiers from the 300,000-strong Allied Forces, and he hadn’t slept for two days and nights. Even under those conditions, he was able to kill Ba Dao instantly. His true strength is unfathomable,” the middle-aged woman said gravely.

The Long Family’s Master collapsed back onto the lounge chair as if he were half-dead.

After a long silence, he muttered, ”It’s over. Our Long Family is in danger. For Long Zhen to dare steal the Battle Soul Blade... it’s the same as putting our entire family on Huang Quan’s kill list!”

”You shouldn’t worry too much. Huang Quan doesn’t even know where the Long Family headquarters are,” the woman said, trying to console him.

”You know nothing!” The Long Family’s Master shot to his feet, roaring, ”One of Huang Quan’s Thirteen Protectors, You Ming, is the world’s top hacker. Hacking into the systems of entire countries is child’s play for him. Huang Quan doesn’t need to find our headquarters. He just needs to confirm the Long Family is in Hundred Flowers Valley, and he could send an atomic bomb our way. Every single one of us would be wiped out!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s face went pale. She stammered, ”Then... then, wh-wh-what do we do?”

”I’m such an idiot!” The Long Family’s Master beat his chest and stomped his feet in regret. ”I must have had nothing better to do! What was I thinking, having Long Zhen steal the Battle Soul Blade? This is just asking for death...”

”So, should we move out of Hundred Flowers Valley and find another place to hide?” the middle-aged woman asked.

The Long Family’s Master didn’t answer. He pondered for a long time before finally saying, ”Moving is impossible. The Long Family Headquarters can only be here. As things stand, the only way to save the Long Family is to eliminate Huang Quan.”

Heh, you sure talk big... the middle-aged woman thought to herself. But aloud, she asked, ”Are you confident?”

”As long as we can confirm that Ye Xiu has a dragon-shaped pattern on his left arm, the Long Family will have no reason to fear Huang Quan,” the Long Family’s Master said, his eyes narrowing.

When Ye Xiu got home, dinner was already on the table. He didn’t see Qin Qing, however, and asked, ”Chloe, where’s Qin Qing?”

”From the time you left for the border with the Blood Cloth Guards until now, the young mistress hasn’t slept a wink. She probably went to her room to rest,” Chloe replied.

A warm current spread through Ye Xiu’s heart. This feeling of being missed, this feeling of home... it was wonderful.

Just then, the Eight Great National Protector War Gods arrived.

Ye Xiu was taken aback. ”What brings you all here?”

”We guessed you must have something for us to do, so we came,” Qing Luan said with a smile.

What could I possibly need you for? Ye Xiu was puzzled, but in the next instant, he understood their true purpose for coming.

He said, ”I was originally planning to visit the leaders of the countries behind the 300,000-strong Allied Forces myself. Since you’re here, you can go and negotiate the terms on my behalf.”

The Eight Great National Protector War Gods were secretly delighted; this was exactly why they had come.

Qing Luan asked tentatively, ”What are the terms?”

Ye Xiu thought for a moment. ”They’ll pay based on how many people they sent. Let’s say one hundred million Xuanse Currency per person. As for what other benefits to secure for Xuanse, you can figure that out yourselves.”

Several countries had contributed a significant number of troops, accounting for at least half of the 300,000-strong Allied Forces. At 100 million Xuanse Currency per person, the total would be well over ten trillion Xuanse Currency. A sum like that would be enough to set those countries’ economies back at least five years.

”By the way, Qing Luan, I’ll send you some information later. Help me forge a legal identity,” Ye Xiu added.

”No problem!” Qing Luan agreed readily. ”Well, we won’t disturb your dinner any longer.”

With that, she and the other seven National Protector War Gods left cheerfully. They had come hoping Ye Xiu would secure some advantages for Xuanse and hadn’t expected him to agree so readily.

After finishing his meal, Ye Xiu prepared to head to his room for a good, long sleep.

However, the moment he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw someone lying on the bed... Spider-Man!

”You’ve exhausted yourself these past two days,” the Spider-Man figure said, beckoning to him. ”I have a reward for you. Come here!”

Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched. The Spider-Man costume was skin-tight, perfectly outlining Qin Qing’s figure. She even wore the Spider-Man mask over her head. If they weren’t in their own bedroom, Ye Xiu would never have recognized her.

Later, Qin Qing asked, ”Are you going to Guoyang to get revenge on the Long Family next?”

”Actually, I’ve never been certain that the Long Family was in Guoyang,” Ye Xiu said gravely. ”Yesterday, Mo Luo interrogated Long Zhen and confirmed my suspicion. The Long Family in Guoyang is just a branch of the main family.”

Qin Qing raised an eyebrow. ”But when the Long Family’s Master was on the video call with Shen Songshan, didn’t You Ming lock onto his location?”
