Supreme Divine Physician in the City

The deep pit was completely empty!

Ye Xuan, who knew the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus moved around unpredictably, had already been cautious to the extreme and rushed to the edge of the pit at the first possible moment, but the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus still ran off.

The duck that was already in the pot just flew away like that!!

"Bastard..."

Looking at the faint traces of blood-red left in the pit, the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, his face dark and terrifying.

Just a little bit, just a tiny bit more, and he would have taken down the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus.

And now, all his efforts had gone down the drain!

Ye Xuan’s sword-like brows flared as his figure moved; he rushed straight into the crowd that was already fighting with Ye Xiaoying and the others.

Fists and feet together, killing intent soaring to the heavens!

Bang bang bang!

A series of dull yet explosive noises rang out, and in the blink of an eye, those dozen-plus people who had come to snatch the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus all collapsed to the ground.

Without exception, they died violently on the spot!!

The wind stopped, the snow eased, and the scene returned to silence.

The horizon was already turning pale, a faint light spreading over this area steeped in the smell of blood, as one corpse after another visibly froze over.

Ye Xiaoying and the others were all stunned, their gazes simultaneously locking onto Ye Xuan, feeling something was very wrong: "Where’s the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus?"

"It got scared off by this bunch."

Ye Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, his face still very gloomy.

"This..."

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoying and the others all felt their hearts sink.

The Sky Mountain Blood Lotus they had finally managed to find had just been lost like that, because a bunch of people suddenly showed up to snatch it, ruining everything at the last moment. How could they possibly feel okay?

This was even more of a blow than if they simply hadn’t found the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus at all!

Chi Lian pursed her lips, breaking the heavy atmosphere: "God-bro, then... then can we still find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus?"

"The chances are very slim." Ye Xuan sighed. "The remaining leaves of the Ice Heart Grass have already turned to ash. Without another Miracle Medicine of the same level to guide us, trying to find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus again is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack."

Everyone felt a chill spread through their hearts.

Yeah, exactly!

The only reason they’d managed to find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus on this trip was entirely thanks to the resonance guidance of the Ice Heart Grass. But the Ice Heart Grass’s energy only allowed for one chance, and now, they had already missed that chance.

Without the Ice Heart Grass’s guidance, with the Snow Mountain being this vast, how were they supposed to find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus?

Go back to the East Sea to get more leftover Ice Heart Grass?

Even if they went without stopping, a round trip would take at least five days. By then, even if no one else had found the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, it would probably have already left this Snow Mountain.

With the world so big, how could you easily find just one Blood Lotus?

In that moment, including Ye Xuan, everyone’s hearts were filled with a heavy sense of loss. Each of them kept their mouths shut, the mood oppressive to the extreme.

This kind of experience—extreme euphoria followed immediately by a brutal blow—was practically devastating.

It even left Ye Xuan and the others instantly at a loss, not knowing which way to turn, not knowing where to go next, or what to do.

Some failures aren’t scary; some failures are pure torment.

Just when everyone was drowning in pain and despair—

"Little brother, don’t be so upset. You’re not handsome at all when you’re unhappy!" In the cold wind, an extremely pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

The voice carried a hint of playful charm.

When the voice sounded, Ye Xuan and the others turned their heads in that direction.

Then, their faces all changed drastically, their nerves suddenly tightening as they stared fixedly at the graceful figure that appeared not far away, as if facing a great enemy.

Who was the newcomer?

Wasn’t it none other than Lou Yaoyao, whom they’d met at a bar some time ago?

This was a very, very dangerous woman!!

Even Ye Xuan, seeing Lou Yaoyao’s nation-toppling figure, felt his mood instantly grow heavier. His sword-like brows knit tightly as he watched her walk over, the qi in his body already quietly surging.

On this Snow Mountain, everyone was an enemy—let alone Lou Yaoyao, the younger sister of Lou Xinyu?

The others also went on high alert.

Feeling Ye Xuan’s hostility toward her, Lou Yaoyao immediately pouted, speaking in a very aggrieved tone: "Aiya, little brother, what are you doing? It’s not like I did anything to you. Do you really have to treat me like an enemy?"

"You’re Lou Xinyu’s sister. How could you possibly be my friend?" Ye Xuan said coldly, looking at Lou Yaoyao.

"And why can’t I be your friend?" Lou Yaoyao snapped. "Didn’t I already say it? You’re you, we’re us. The grudges between you and my brother don’t affect my liking you at all."

Ye Xuan: "..."

Ye Xiaoying and the others: "..."

Silence said more than any words.

The way they looked at Lou Yaoyao was like they were staring at a con artist—the craziest, most outrageous beauty scammer of the 21st century.

I believe you, my ass. This woman’s a straight-up demon!

Lou Yaoyao had already walked up to Ye Xuan. Her eyes seemed to hold only him, as she gave a charming, coquettish smile. "You don’t believe me? If you don’t believe it, I’ll prove it to you."

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow. "You’re going to kill Lou Xinyu for me?"

"Of course not. No matter what, he’s still my blood brother. If I helped you kill him, wouldn’t I be worse than an animal?" Lou Yaoyao said with a giggle.

Ye Xuan said, "Then how are you going to prove it?"

"Here, look!"

Lou Yaoyao flipped her jade-white hand, and a small glass bottle appeared in front of Ye Xuan.

Inside the bottle was a pink petal. At first glance it looked very ordinary, but the moment Ye Xuan saw it, his pupils shrank slightly.

He could clearly feel that this tiny petal was emitting a faint energy fluctuation.

This was an ancient Miracle Medicine on par with the Six-leaf Ice Heart Herb and the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus!

"Aren’t you trying to find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus? I’ll help you." Lou Yaoyao weighed the glass bottle in her hand, smiling as she said, "After we find the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, I won’t ask for any reward. That should be enough to prove my feelings for you, right?"

Hearing Lou Yaoyao’s words, Ye Xuan and the others snapped back to their senses, all of them shocked.

Was this some kind of joke?

Lou Yaoyao actually wanted to help them look for the escaped Sky Mountain Blood Lotus?

And from the looks of it, she really could find it!

They looked at each other, then once again focused their gazes on Lou Yaoyao, all of them frowning deeply, their faces full of doubt and disbelief.

This was too much. Wasn’t Lou Yaoyao supposed to be their enemy? How could she help them so selflessly?

If something’s too off, there’s definitely something fishy going on!

But...

For the moment, they couldn’t figure out why Lou Yaoyao was doing this. It couldn’t really be just because she’d fallen for Ye Xuan, right?

Facing everyone’s skepticism, especially Ye Xuan’s.

Lou Yaoyao pouted again, speaking in a pitiful, tearful tone: "You’re awful, little brother. I’ve already bared it all for you, and you still don’t believe me? If you really don’t trust me, then I’ll just leave."

As she spoke, Lou Yaoyao turned to go, taking the little glass bottle in her hand with her.
