Romantic Medical Immortal

Kong Lingwen knew Yang Cheng’s thoughts and turned her head, a bit reluctant in her tone: "Go and appease her, otherwise when you leave tomorrow, she’ll keep nagging in my ear, and I can’t stand it."

"You’re telling me to comfort another woman?"

Yang Cheng was astonished, feeling that this didn’t sound like something that would come out of the mouth of a little jealous person like Kong Lingwen.

"What else? She wants to stay and protect me, so I have to get along with her, and ultimately, it’s your fault."

Kong Lingwen glared at him and pinched his arm out of anger.

Yang Cheng hissed in pain and said with a smile: "Then I’ll make it quick."

Saying this, he quickly went upstairs and pushed open Cheng Ruonan’s room door, seeing her lying on the bed, clutching a pillow and cursing, "Stupid Yang Cheng! Bad Yang Cheng!"

Yang Cheng found it amusing, walked over briskly, sat by the bed, and said softly, "Don’t be angry. It’s not that I don’t want to take you, I have my reasons."

Cheng Ruonan snorted coldly and turned her face away from him.

Previously, Yang Cheng thought Kong Lingwen was a bit willful, but compared to Cheng Ruonan, Kong Lingwen was nothing.

Yang Cheng knew that kind words were useless, so he simply pulled Cheng Ruonan into his arms.

"Let go of me! You don’t care about me at all, so why are you here?"

Cheng Ruonan struggled, but even as a cultivator, she couldn’t shake off Yang Cheng, and was soon pinned under him for a kiss.

"Mmm mmm..."

She initially struggled hard but soon became lost in the embrace.

After the kiss ended, Yang Cheng held her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Tonight, come with me to recon the Gong Family. If there aren’t any so-called experts, we’ll join forces to wipe them out. But if I’m not absolutely sure, I won’t act hastily. First, I need to go to Linzhou to retrieve the Sun Essence Gold."

People like Gong Jian, who are deeply calculating, would definitely not give them a second chance to fight back; they’d surely try to eradicate them completely.

Just moments ago, Cheng Ruonan was full of displeasure, but now she’d softened, pouting, "Then come back early and don’t flirt around in Linzhou."

"Alright."

Yang Cheng chuckled softly, bent down, and kissed her on the soft lips.

Cheng Ruonan wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss.

The two lay entwined on the bed for a while before Yang Cheng finally got up and went downstairs.

Kong Lingwen was sitting in the living room, and when he came down, she handed him a cup of tea, "Is she appeased?"

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "She’s just a bit willful, but she doesn’t have bad intentions. She promised to stay and protect you well, so you don’t have to worry."

"I know."

Kong Lingwen nodded and leaned into Yang Cheng’s arms, softly saying, "Yang Cheng, thank you. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t need to take such risks."

"Why are you being so polite with me? You’re my woman. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you."

Yang Cheng’s face was sincere.

The two just quietly leaned against each other like that, until it was late at night when Yang Cheng and Cheng Ruonan quietly left the Cheng Family Villa.

The Gong Family was located in the East Suburb of Zhonghai, covering a vast area, resembling a small castle guarded on all sides.

The two couldn’t drive closer, so they parked the car a kilometer away from the Gong Family Villa and walked there.

Yang Cheng and Cheng Ruonan lightened their steps, avoiding the patrolling guards, and infiltrated the Gong Family Villa.

However, Yang Cheng didn’t plan to enter the villa’s interior; he just activated his X-ray Vision, scanning every corner of the Gong Family.

Soon, he discovered three powerful auras, including in a courtyard where a burly middle-aged man was practicing martial arts, each punch bringing a sharp gust of True Qi.

Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes; with his sense of True Qi, this man’s strength was indeed on par with Chi Ren, or perhaps even stronger.

Standing beside this man were two others, not using True Qi, but likely masters in the Yuan Condensation Realm. What shocked Yang Cheng even more was that in the deepest courtyard, he faintly felt an aura stronger than these men, and though he couldn’t see it clearly, the oppressive feeling sent chills down his spine.

His heart sank, and without a word, he immediately took Cheng Ruonan and left.

In that moment, he felt a deep sense of fear; he suspected Gong Jian had experts, but didn’t expect them to be this strong.

Even with Chen Shixiang crafting the Sun Golden Wheel, he might struggle to defeat them; luck would play a significant role.

Once they left the Gong Family and returned to the car, Cheng Ruonan finally asked, "What did you see?"

Yang Cheng’s expression was grave as he said, "The Gong Family has at least three experts on the same level as Chi Ren, and possibly stronger ones too. I’m not a match for them right now."

Cheng Ruonan’s brows furrowed, full of concern, and she softly said, "Go to Linzhou as soon as possible tomorrow. I’ll do my best to protect the Kong Family."

"Let’s head back."

Yang Cheng’s mood was heavy, unsure of what to say, so he started the car and left.

At the Kong Family Villa, Kong Lingwen was still waiting on the sofa, and when she saw them return, she immediately poured them two cups of hot tea.

Yang Cheng took one and drank it all in one go, while Cheng Ruonan uncharacteristically said thank you.

Kong Lingwen smiled slightly and asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

"The Gong Family indeed has a few experts. I must quickly obtain the Sun Essence Gold, or else if we have a direct confrontation with the Gong Family, we have no chance of winning."

Normally playful, Yang Cheng became serious for a moment, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

Kong Lingwen nodded and said, "Set off early tomorrow morning. With Ruonan and me at home, you can rest assured."

"Ruonan will protect you, but you must also be careful. Don’t travel alone, and if company matters can’t be resolved, wait until I return."

Not knowing how long he would be away, Yang Cheng felt uneasy.

"I understand."

Kong Lingwen felt warm inside, knowing Yang Cheng was doing all this for her. She may not be able to help, but at least she would not be a burden.

...

Early the next morning.

Yang Cheng and Cheng Qiyue packed a few belongings and got in the car.

Cheng Ruonan stood at the door, her eyes slightly red, "Yang Cheng, come back soon. Make sure to protect my sister and don’t let her get hurt."

"Who’s really the bodyguard between the two of us?"

Yang Cheng smiled indulgently, "Don’t worry, we’re just going to treat someone. There’s no danger. You guys, on the other hand, need to be more careful."

He waved to everyone and drove away.

Linzhou is not too far from Zhonghai; a few hours’ drive would get them there.

As soon as Yang Cheng’s car left Zhonghai, Gong Jian received the news. He sneered, "I seem to have overestimated Kong Jingshan. If he left no clues before dying, then there’s no need to watch the Kong Family anymore."
