Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Very soon, Xu Wendong and Zhao Ying’er arrived at the ancient town.

The town was called Ring Abyss, just like its name, outside the town were three incredibly deep abysses.

The abysses seemed like a large mouth of the earth, bottomless.

Below, thick purple mist floated, like spirited sprites surging and drifting in the abyss.

From time to time, low roars echoed from the depths of the abyss, sounding like they came from ancient giant beasts, making one’s skin crawl.

And the Nether Crystal Vein of the Heavenly Nether Sect was hidden beneath one of the abysses.

”Lin Mo, we have arrived.” As Zhao Ying’er stepped into the town, her originally relaxed expression instantly became solemn, her gaze full of vigilance.

Her body was slightly tense, ready to respond to any potential danger at any moment.

The ancient town was bustling with people, lively and bustling.

This had once been a prosperous place, with many harboring dreams of adventure, wishing to descend into the abyss and explore.

They hoped to find opportunities in the mysterious abyss, which would greatly benefit the enhancement of their abilities.

However, ever since the Heavenly Nether Sect discovered the Nether Crystal Vein here, they issued a ban, no longer allowing outsiders to venture into the abyss.

Xu Wendong, with sharp eyes, looked around keenly. He noticed that the people in the town looked at them with eyes full of caution, as if they were intruders in their territory.

”More disciples from the Heavenly Nether Sect.”

”They must be here about the mining vein attack, right?”

”Haha, the previous batch of disciples vanished without a trace, and they still dare to come?”

The town’s people whispered among themselves, their words filled with disdain for the Heavenly Nether Sect.

This greatly surprised Xu Wendong, as in his understanding, the Heavenly Nether Sect was the most powerful within a radius of thousands of miles. Whether it was the Lin Family, the Huang Family, or the Zhao Family, they all treated the Heavenly Nether Sect with respect when in the Netherworld City, and no one dared to criticize them.

But here, people’s attitudes towards the Heavenly Nether Sect were completely different, with no sign of respect at all.

”Isn’t the Heavenly Nether Sect the most powerful force within thousands of miles? Why do these people show us such disdain?” Xu Wendong asked in confusion, turning his head to Zhao Ying’er curiously.

”Lin Mo, this is the difficulty of the mission.” Zhao Ying’er sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

She gently tucked her hair behind her ear and said slowly, ”This is at the border between our Heavenly Nether Sect and the Fire Lotus Saint Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong’s mind immediately recalled what Li Jiayin had said before.

The Heavenly Nether Sect was not the only dominant force, apart from it there were also the Fire Lotus Saint Sect and the Divine Yin Hall contending with it.

The location of the ancient town happened to be at the junction between the Heavenly Nether Sect and the Fire Lotus Saint Sect, hence it was common to see disciples from the two forces here.

Back when the Nether Crystal Vein was discovered, both the Fire Lotus Saint Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect engaged in a bloody massacre for control of the vein, with countless casualties on both sides, even the townsfolk here were unfortunately affected.

Over time, the people of the ancient town grew to loath both major forces, harboring no good feelings towards them.

”I see.” Xu Wendong nodded thoughtfully and said, ”The goal of this mission is to resolve the troubles with the mining vein and find the bandits plundering the vein. But seeing the current situation, it seems investigating will not be easy.”

They had hoped to gather clues through the townsfolk, but it turned out like this.

”No worries, we have informants here.” Zhao Ying’er winked and once again revealed a brilliant smile, a few hints of confidence in that smile.

She had already thoroughly understood the situation here before coming and had fully prepared.

Saying this, she immediately took Xu Wendong’s hand and led him into the town.

The two figures threaded through the crowd and soon arrived at a tall building.

This building was grand and imposing, with eaves flying up and columns painted elaborately, standing out in the ancient town.

”Lotus Fragrance Building?”

Xu Wendong looked up, his gaze landing straight on the sign hanging high above, and he was instantly dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The building before him was grand and imposing, magnificent and splendid.

Sunlight shone on the glazed tiles, reflecting blinding light as if to showcase its extraordinariness.

In front of the building, a group of scantily clad women was swaying, heavily made-up with spring in their eyes, each posing suggestively, jolting Xu Wendong’s heart, a strong illusion arising as if he had stumbled into a place of ill-repute.

”Why does this place seem like...” Xu Wendong said, his face full of astonishment, his mouth slightly agape, words hanging at the tip of his tongue, yet stopping short, his eyes full of confusion and surprise.

Before Xu Wendong could finish, Zhao Ying’er gently nodded and calmly said, ”Yes, this is a brothel.”

Xu Wendong felt speechless, his full confusion turning instantly into helplessness.

They had come to investigate the situation with the bandits, yet Zhao Ying’er led him to such a place.

”Don’t misunderstand, our Heavenly Nether Sect’s informants are inside.” Zhao Ying’er leaned closer to Xu Wendong, lowering her voice, her expression serious explaining, ”There’s a Nether Crystal Vein here, how can our Heavenly Nether Sect be unprepared?”

”Lotus Fragrance Building is actually one of our Heavenly Nether Sect’s liaison stations.”

”To figure out the specifics of the Nether Crystal Vein attack, we have to come here.”

Having said this, Zhao Ying’er strode towards the building without hesitation.

Xu Wendong felt helpless and had to follow along self-consciously.

But as soon as he stepped in, he was immediately surrounded by a group of captivating women.

”Young master, you look so handsome, want to come to sister’s room for a sit?” A woman said shyly, her voice was so sweet as if honey could drip from it. As she spoke, she reached out her finger, gently tracing Xu Wendong’s arm.

”Come to my room, sister only charges you a tea fee of one hundred Nether Crystals.” Another woman refused to be outdone, her eyes full of allure, staring intently at Xu Wendong as if wanting to devour him whole.

”Such a handsome young man, you still charge him Nether Crystals? Come to me, young man, and sister will offer you two hundred Nether Crystals instead...” Yet another woman swayed her hips, her manner enticingly charming, the scent on her so strong it was almost suffocating.

This lot of courtesans swarmed forward, each one with flirtatious eyes, their alluring demeanor instantly turning Xu Wendong’s face red, rendering him awkward and at a loss.

After all, Zhao Ying’er was right beside him, making him feel entirely out of sorts, not knowing where to place his hands and feet.

Sure enough, Zhao Ying’er came over with an icy expression, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, she directly grabbed Xu Wendong’s arm and with a firm tug, led him toward the third floor.

The third floor was where the Oiran of the Lotus Fragrance Building resided, generally prohibiting outsiders from entering.

Anyone wishing to meet the Oiran had to spend a fortune, and even then, it wasn’t guaranteed that they would get their wish.

But disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect naturally enjoyed special treatment when visiting.

As they stepped into the room, Xu Wendong’s gaze was instantly captivated by the woman inside.

The woman sat by the window, her posture graceful, like a peony in full bloom, enchanting and beautiful.

She wore a red gauzy dress, which in the breeze gently swayed, subtly outlining her enchanting figure.

Her red lips were strikingly vivid, like roses blooming in spring, exuding a charming allure.

Her long, shiny black hair cascaded down her waist like a waterfall, smooth and silky.

She was beautiful like a fairy stepping out of a picture, exuding an irresistible charm in every gesture.
