Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 916: Chapter 913: So Outstanding It’s Frightening

Wan Jie exclaimed in shock, ”This glove is a newly refined Magic Artifact.”

”What?” Nalan Yanran’s beautiful eyes trembled violently, revealing an unmistakable shock: ”Are you sure this is a newly refined Magic Artifact?”

”There’s no mistake.” Wan Jie instinctively swallowed and said, ”My blood just fell on it, and it instantly refined this glove, so it must be newly made and has not been blood-bound before.”

Whether it is a Magic Artifact or a Spiritual Artifact, it requires blood binding.

Only the first owner of the weapon can instantly refine it. Others, even after blood binding, must spend considerable time to completely refine it.

”There simply aren’t any Artifact Refiners within the Nine Provinces region!” Nalan Yanran’s eyebrows revealed a trace of surprise.

Wan Jie couldn’t help but say, ”Mother, do you think it’s possible that Uncle not only excels in Alchemy but also knows Artifact Refining?”

Nalan Yanran’s heart trembled violently.

Although her son’s words were incredible, and she didn’t believe Xu Wendong could refine Magic Artifacts,

how else could the origin of that glove be explained?

There was no better explanation!

Taking a deep breath, Nalan Yanran tried to calm herself: ”Jie’er, unless it’s an emergency, never use this Magic Artifact.”

She didn’t want to believe that Xu Wendong was capable of making it.

She didn’t want Xu Wendong to be that exceptional.

Because if he were,

he would surely become an enemy of the Nine Provinces Imperial Family.

Because his presence could threaten the Nine Provinces Imperial Family’s rule.

------

Next day.

At dawn, Xu Wendong was forced to engage in group exercise with Bai Jie, Zhongli, Zhu Qing, and Jian You.

Even though there had been a fierce battle the night before,

who would refuse such an ethereal pleasure?

This fierce battle continued for more than two hours, and just as noon approached, Xu Wendong finally stopped. While tidying his clothes, he said, ”I have an appointment for lunch, so I won’t have breakfast with you!”

Upon hearing this, the four of them simultaneously rolled their eyes at Xu Wendong, knowing he had enticed another woman.

However, they didn’t mind.

Because they all knew they couldn’t have Xu Wendong all to themselves.

Later, Xu Wendong arrived at the Listening Rain Pavilion as agreed and reserved an excellent private room.

Shortly after,

Nalan Yanran also arrived as promised.

She had eyebrows like green jade, eyes like autumn water, a high and delicate nose, her vermilion lips slightly parted, revealing a gentle smile.

Her age seemed just over thirty, full of charm, adding to her mature beauty.

She was clad in a sky-blue long dress, the hem gently swaying with her steps, like a blue lotus in bloom.

Her demeanor was elegant and noble, each move filled with composure and confidence.

That enchanting face, like a fairy descended to the mortal realm, was captivating at first sight.

Xu Wendong’s heart raced.

He always had a fondness for beautiful women.

But beautiful women differed in kind.

In his heart, there were two kinds of beautiful women.

One is the kind who is untouched.

Two, those who are already married and beautiful.

Compared to the former, the latter was more mature, without the shyness of a young woman, knowledgeable, and especially nurturing.

Xu Wendong invited Nalan Yanran to sit and said with a smile, ”Isn’t my nephew here?”

Nalan Yanran smiled and said, ”He’s in Cultivation.”

Xu Wendong nodded, then called the waiter to start ordering. Since it was just the two of them, he only ordered six dishes and got a jar of wine.

They ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However.

Most of the time, it was Xu Wendong talking about life outside.

Nalan Yanran was just listening.

She rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes revealing a slight smile and longing for life outside.

Particularly interested in the ice cream Xu Wendong mentioned.

Xu Wendong noticed Nalan Yanran’s longing and said, ”Sister, don’t worry, after the Nine Provinces Elite Competition, I’ll definitely take you to the mortal world, any ice cream or milk tea, as much as you want.”

Nalan Yanran showed a gentle smile: ”Alright, sister will try her best to hold on until then.”

Xu Wendong’s heart trembled abruptly.

Nalan Yanran had hidden meaning in her words!

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, ”Sister, are you nearing your end?”

Nalan Yanran smiled: ”Everyone goes through birth, aging, illness, and death, it’s nothing major.”

Xu Wendong’s mood was heavy: ”True, but I just got an elder sister!”

”I’m sorry, I... I...” Nalan Yanran was full of panic, although she had accepted life and death.

But at this moment, Xu Wendong’s words were like a sharp knife piercing her heart.

Making her feel an almost suffocating illusion.

She felt selfish.

Just because she liked Xu Wendong, she agreed to be siblings without considering her end nearing.

Xu Wendong forced a smile: ”Sister, even if your time is coming, it’s okay. After all, your brother is an Alchemist. I may not be able to help you Golden Core to Nascent Soul, but extending your lifespan isn’t difficult.”

”I still have some Spirit-awakening Pills here, take them and use them!” He said, taking out the Spirit-awakening Pills he had made earlier.

He had refined many Spirit-awakening Pills before, just in case of unexpected need.

Sure enough.

They really came in handy.

Nalan Yanran opened the Jade Vial, and upon seeing the elixirs inside, an immediate look of shock flashed in her beautiful eyes, followed by a sigh: ”I’ve heard before about my brother’s unparalleled Alchemy skills. Seeing it today, it truly is so.”

”Such top-quality Elixirs, it’s my first time seeing them in my life.”

Saying this, a wry smile appeared on her face: ”But... I’ve already taken a large number of Spirit-awakening Pills, and now, elixirs can’t extend my life anymore.”

Spirit-awakening Pills indeed can extend lifespan, but if taken excessively, their effectiveness would definitely diminish, even rendering them ineffective.

Borrowing a saying from the mortal world, it’s like the body has become immune to the elixir’s effects.

”Alright, today is a happy day, let’s not talk about such unpleasant topics.” Nalan Yanran’s face was carefree, seeming to have long put aside life and death.

Xu Wendong had initially wanted to say that through Dual Cultivation, he could help her Golden Core to Nascent Soul, but he swallowed those words.

Because Nalan Yanran had already looked beyond life and death.

If so, why create more trouble?

Indeed.

He had finally found a beautiful elder sister in the Nine Provinces, and he was afraid that once he spoke, they couldn’t even be siblings anymore.

After all, what kind of brother would scheme for his sister, wanting Dual Cultivation with her?

Although his purpose in befriending Nalan Yanran was precisely to engage in Dual Cultivation to elevate his Realm.

But Nalan Yanran clearly treated him as her brother.

He couldn’t betray this sibling relationship!

Just then.

Nalan Yanran’s expression changed abruptly; she hurriedly stood up and pushed the window open. When she saw a black-robed person on the street, her exquisite body began to tremble instantly.

Xu Wendong asked, ”Sister, do you know this person?”
