Supreme Divine Physician in the City

Chapter 1625: I Will Make You Strong

Suddenly, Chiba Sakurako felt a bit downcast.In her ears, a classic lyric seemed to echo: Tears fall down as I finally learn the truth!

It turns out, Ye Xuan’s decisive action to save her wasn’t the selfless rescue she thought it was, but rather because he possessed a body immune to all poisons, making the terrifying venom of the snake no threat to him!

In this light, it can only be said that Ye Xuan saved her out of kindness, rather than because she held any particular importance to him.

It was all her imagination, after all!

"I was overthinking it."

Chiba Sakurako chuckled bitterly to herself, realizing how much she missed her father to have conjured such an absurd fantasy.

Her father was gone, and in this world, no man would ever be like her father, willing to give up everything for her and make her feel safe and secure.

Moreover, to Ye Xuan, she was just a stranger he had recently met...

"What’s wrong?" Ye Xuan’s concerned voice rang out.

Chiba Sakurako snapped back to reality at the sound, forcing a smile on her face: "Nothing... nothing’s wrong, thank you. I owe you two lives now."

"You owe me quite a lot now."

Ye Xuan chuckled, then continued, "The snake venom was cleared before it spread, and even if some residue remains, it’ll definitely not be fatal. Tonight, you may experience dizziness, vomiting, or even loss of bowel control, so don’t be too surprised. It will pass by tomorrow."

"Okay..."

Sakurako’s face turned a shy red, and she could only nod weakly in response.

Ye Xuan looked at Chiba Sakurako twice, pondered for a moment, and then proceeded to lift her up in his arms.

Chiba Sakurako’s expression changed drastically, and she called out in surprise, "I... I can walk on my own!"

"Alright, your left ankle is clearly sprained. Walking on this path gritting your teeth could lead to serious injuries, possibly leaving some residual effects. For someone who practices martial arts, that could be life-destroying."

Ye Xuan looked down at the beautiful lady in his arms, eyebrows raised in a playful smirk, "We just had such an experience, why mind a little physical contact?"

At those words, Chiba Sakurako’s face turned even redder, but she said nothing more, allowing Ye Xuan to hold her like that, her body stiff and uneasy, the faint tobacco scent from the man making her heart race intensely.

Since reaching adulthood, she had never been held like a princess by a man, not even by her most revered father!

Like that, Ye Xuan carried Chiba Sakurako back to the car, then ran back to the creek to retrieve the bucket and towel.

These were worth quite some money, and Ye Xuan would need them in the future!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chiba Sakurako saw Ye Xuan returning with the bucket and towel, and her flushed face showed a hint of apology: "I’m sorry, I didn’t do what you asked properly."

"It’s fine, the cigarette ash was cleaned up enough." Ye Xuan waved his hand, then started driving back along the road.

The cabin was filled with a lingering fragrance.

Ye Xuan had no choice but to open the car window again.

And the attentive Sakurako sensed Ye Xuan’s movement, feeling rather peculiar inside, instinctively recalling the scene where Ye Xuan saved her life just moments ago.

From that angle... did he see anything?

Chiba Sakurako discreetly glanced at her lower body, immediately blushing and feeling utterly embarrassed. She was only wearing a kimono, how could Ye Xuan not see anything when holding her calf?

Even with dim lighting, it was enough...

Northern Federation women’s thoughts are traditionally conservative, especially for someone like Chiba Sakurako, with a father like Sword God, she’s extremely concerned with such matters. Exaggeratedly speaking, it’s almost as if whoever has seen her becomes her man.

If Ye Xuan and Sword God had no enmity, Chiba Sakurako might have already decided, but sadly...

Chiba Sakurako was caught in a whirl of chaos.

But the car had already returned near the seaside cliff.

Ye Xuan parked the car and spoke, "Put your mourning clothes back on. If you show up in this state in front of your brother, that kid might even want to kill me."

Chiba Sakurako froze, hastily put on her mourning clothes with a flushed face.

Ye Xuan examined Sakurako with great interest, teasingly asking, "Are all Northern Federation women particularly prone to blushing?"

Hearing these words, Sakurako’s embarrassment deepened, unsure how to respond, she averted Ye Xuan’s gaze, pretending not to hear anything, escaping from the car.

Ye Xuan shrugged and followed her out of the car...

The fierce sea breeze, under the dark night, sounded like the cries of ghosts and wolves, eerie and chilling.

Chiba Kenichi continued to kneel on the cliff, crying miserably in despair, grieving deeply, hating his own incompetence and weakness, having sacrificed his father and harmed his sister.

Upon hearing the sound of the returning car, Chiba Kenichi quickly looked up, seeing Ye Xuan and Sakurako’s returning figures, he immediately collapsed.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

Chiba Kenichi howled to the sky, pounding his chest with a clenched fist, then began slapping himself harshly on the face.

He was filled with hate!

Ye Xuan had been away with his sister for almost three hours.

Three hours!

What kind of brutal endurance was that? What kind of violent impact did his sister endure?

Originally, Chiba Kenichi still held onto a glimmer of hope, praying that he had misjudged Ye Xuan, that they left for other reasons rather than what he suspected.

But upon seeing Sakurako returning with a limping gait, and her flushed face and dazed, weak demeanor, even the last ounce of hope in Kenichi’s heart was instantly destroyed.

When had the revered female goddess of the Northern Federation ever shown such a weakened, lost appearance?

When had the gifted martial artist sister ever suffered injuries that left her limping?

Chiba Kenichi couldn’t fathom, nor dared to imagine, what insane, depraved acts Ye Xuan did to his sister during those three hours to lead to this.

He crippled her!

Sister, oh sister!

Ye Xuan, you beast!

Chiba Kenichi went wild with self-abuse.

Ye Xuan and Chiba Sakurako stepped in front of him, witnessing the scene, both stunned.

Sakurako hurried to stop Kenichi’s self-harm, speaking sternly: "Chiba Kenichi, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

"Sister..." Kenichi cried, looking up at Sakurako with tearful eyes, devastated: "I’ve failed you, I’ve failed father, I’ve failed the Chiba Family, I..."

Sakurako fell silent, suddenly unsure what to say, for Kenichi was speaking the undeniable truth.

She scorned hypocrisy, even towards her brother, and preferred not to offer false comforting words.

Ye Xuan spoke up, "Chiba Kenichi, today your sister’s service satisfied me, hmm... stay in Yan Country, I’ll make you strong."

Kenichi froze at the words.

Then, felt his heart torn apart!

"Ah!"

Kenichi resumed his self-abuse behavior.
