Medical and Martial God

”Charming Skill?” Ye Xiu looked at Mei Siying in surprise as he recalled Tang Bo’s condition—the exhausted demeanor, the vacant eyes, the pale face.

”Interesting!” Ye Xiu laughed. He had initially mistaken Mei Siying for a member of the Restorer Alliance, but now it was clear that was not the case. The Restorer Alliance would neither have the audacity nor dare to send someone to harm Tang Bo. With that ruled out, Mei Siying’s true identity was obvious.

”What’s interesting? Divine Doctor Ye, what are you talking about?” Mei Siying asked, stunned. This Ye Xiu is downright demonic! He’s not only unaffected by my Charming Skill, but he actually looks surprised and then amused. How is this possible? Lin Xin clearly said he was a Sixth Realm War God, the same as me. Why isn’t my Charming Skill working on him?

”Are you the one sent by the Eternal Kingdom to kill Huang Quan?” Ye Xiu asked.

Mei Siying’s heart lurched, and she almost lost her composure. However, her formidable mental fortitude allowed her to keep her expression perfectly under control. Putting on an air of naive innocence, she said, ”Divine Doctor Ye, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

As she spoke, she clung to Ye Xiu’s arm and swayed her body. She simultaneously unleashed her Charming Skill at full power, and in an instant, the entire living room filled with an overwhelmingly seductive scent.

”You’re a Sixth Realm War God who cultivates the Charming Skill,” Ye Xiu scoffed. ”The Judicator Families determined Huang Quan must be a Seventh Realm War God after he heavily injured Yue Longxuan, a Fifth Realm War God, with a single blow. Did they really think sending you, a mere Sixth Realm War God, to Nanjing would be enough to kill him?”

”You...” This time, Mei Siying finally lost control of her expression. She leaped to her feet and jumped back three meters, staring at Ye Xiu in shock. He figured out my strength and my cultivation method just by looking at me! And he deduced my identity from just those two things! This is terrifying!

”How did you do that?” Mei Siying asked, still in shock. She had never heard of anyone who could see through another person’s strength with their eyes alone. Not even the Judicator Families possessed such an ability.

”Go ask the King of Hell!”

Ye Xiu vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Mei Siying in the next instant, his hand clamped around her throat.

Mei Siying’s pupils contracted violently. Her heart skipped a beat in sheer terror. I’m a Sixth Realm War God, yet I didn’t even see how he moved! The Princess and Lin Xin’s intel was wrong! Ye Xiu isn’t a Sixth Realm War God... he’s far beyond the Seventh Realm! I’m doomed. Utterly doomed!

Just then, Tang Bo came bounding in with his luggage. His joyful expression vanished when he saw Ye Xiu holding Mei Siying by the neck. ”Big Brother, what... what are you doing?” he asked, stopping short.

Ye Xiu frowned and instinctively loosened his grip. After all, Mei Siying—or rather, Mei Yingxue—was currently Tang Bo’s girlfriend.

Mei Siying seized the opportunity to wrench herself free. She threw herself into Tang Bo’s arms and burst into tears. ”Popo, while you were gone, that beast Ye Xiu tried to force himself on me!”

Ye Xiu frowned. She’s trying to drive a wedge between me and Tang Bo. What a conniving woman!

Tang Bo glanced at Ye Xiu, then said to Mei Siying, ”If my Big Brother takes a liking to you, you should consider it an honor. Don’t be so difficult.”

With that, he pushed Mei Siying away and said nonchalantly to Ye Xiu, ”Big Brother, if you like her, she’s all yours.”

Ye Xiu was so taken aback he nearly threw out his back. He had expected Tang Bo to get angry with him over Mei Siying, or at the very least, say something in her defense. But he pulls this stunt instead... What a scumbag of mythical proportions!

Mei Siying was completely baffled. I thought I could drive them apart and use the chaos to escape, but Tang Bo just handed me over without a second thought! He’s the top gun among scoundrels! I’ve been a femme fatale for half my life, toying with and destroying countless men, only to get played by a scumbag like him!

”You’re courting death!” Enraged by the humiliation, Mei Siying moved like lightning and grabbed Tang Bo by the throat. She was the one who played others, not the other way around! She wouldn’t stand for it!

”Ye Xiu, I have Tang Bo now. If you dare make a rash move, I’ll snap his neck!” Mei Siying threatened, positioning herself behind Tang Bo and using him as a shield as her cold eyes fixed on Ye Xiu.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes. He was about to act but stopped when he saw Tang Bo start to laugh.

”Big Brother... Mei Siying... do you know why I suggested we move here? And why I went to the Wu Family Fortress alone to get my luggage?” Tang Bo asked with a grin, looking incredibly smug, as if everything was going according to his plan.

”What do you mean?” Ye Xiu asked, momentarily unable to grasp Tang Bo’s angle.

Mei Siying was equally puzzled. ”You had another motive?”

Tang Bo gave a shrewd smile, his words dripping with arrogance and pride. ”I, Tang Bo, was once the top genius among the thirteen external families of the Long Family and their number one expert in Medical Skills. Now, I’m the brother of the Xuanse Medicine King, Ye Xiu. Do you really think I’m the kind of man who gets weak in the knees just by looking at a woman? I suspected you were a Martial Artist from the start,” he continued. ”I knew you were approaching me with an ulterior motive! So, I brought you here to meet my Big Brother and made an excuse to leave so he could test you for me. And just as I expected, you showed your true colors.”

Hearing Tang Bo’s explanation, Ye Xiu was floored. I’ve been underestimating him this whole time, he suddenly realized. This guy isn’t nearly as simple as he appears. He’s got a wealth of real-world experience and is incredibly shrewd!
