The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

Jiang Xinghai gave a wry smile, but couldn’t help feeling a warmth spread through his heart.

’These two girls might just be following orders, but they’re incredibly attentive. They’ve considered my needs and feelings.’

"Young Master Jiang, it’s only three in the afternoon. The latest flight is at ten tonight, and it should be able to take off if the rain lets up. We’ve swept this room for anything suspicious, and it’s clean. You should rest here for now. I’m going to prepare the Hot Weapons." Lao Deng saluted, gave a mysterious smile, and closed the living room door.

Jiang Xinghai gave Lao Deng a knowing look.

It was true. He had just survived a grueling battle, and his Primordial Yin Power was completely drained. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only recovered a mere seventy percent of his strength.

He was sure Bai and Zhi would bring him more pleasant surprises and joy.

The room was soon filled with the heat of passion.

Outside the house, the downpour continued, and the distant rumble of thunder grew steadily closer.

「One hour later.」

The downpour continued, and thunder rolled across the sky.

Lao Deng and his men returned on schedule.

He stood at the doorway and lit a cigarette, gazing out at the rain-swept sky as he debated whether to knock.

But when a rustling sound came from within the room, he took an awkward drag from his cigarette.

’He knew Young Master Jiang was a real man, but he hadn’t expected him to still be... occupied.’

According to his plan, however, they needed to deploy the Hot Weapons before nightfall to send the Gu Slaves in the Qiao Family’s cellar to their graves.

Otherwise, once it was fully dark, even with the nearby mountains, the noise and light from the explosion would easily cause a panic.

Besides, the downpour had turned into a thunderstorm, which made it the perfect opportunity.

But he couldn’t just interrupt Young Master Jiang’s good time.

After he’d finished half a pack of cigarettes, cries of release finally sounded from within the room.

A flicker of amusement appeared in Lao Deng’s eyes as he glanced at the time.

His admiration for Jiang Xinghai deepened.

「Inside the room.」

"You two should put on a jacket or something. It’s raining, and it’s getting dark and cold," Jiang Xinghai said as he got dressed himself.

The two women smiled shyly and pulled on matching camouflage tank tops and pants.

The effect was instantaneous. The two women’s sharp, heroic bearing was on full display.

"That’s much better," Jiang Xinghai said, looking at the two women with immense gratitude. "After all, we have work to do outside. Need to be a little more discreet."

Because he had been so depleted of Primordial Yin Qi, the two women had held nothing back, using every means possible to help him reach his peak multiple times.

However, his cultivation of the Dragon Locking Secret Technique meant that the two women had also benefited greatly from the exchange.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Outside, Lao Deng finally brought himself to knock on the door.

"Come in, Lao Deng."

Jiang Xinghai, brimming with energy, walked toward the door flanked by Bai and Zhi.

"Young Master Jiang, it’s time for the deployment. You should all head back to the hotel. I’ll join you shortly," Lao Deng said with a slight bow.

Jiang Xinghai shook his head. "To prevent any unforeseen complications, I’ll remain a hundred meters out with you. I won’t be able to rest easy until I’ve confirmed that not a single Gu Slave survived."

One hundred and eight rice vats, one hundred and eight Gu Slaves at the Venerable Realm. This was not a force to be taken lightly.

With their plan set, the group evacuated the Qiao Family estate.

「A hundred meters away.」

On Lao Deng’s command, a combat jet swooped in low from the distance.

The whistling sonic boom nearly shattered their eardrums. Fortunately, the area was uninhabited, and as they were all practitioners of the Martial Arts, they were unaffected by the shockwave.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

After three successive explosions, the Qiao Family estate in Kun City was completely engulfed in a sea of flames.

At the same time, from a hundred meters away, Jiang Xinghai focused his mind and unleashed his Power of Divine Sense.

Previously, when his cultivation had broken through to the Celestial Destiny Realm, his Power of Divine Sense could cover a fifty-meter radius.

Now, at the late stage of the Celestial Destiny Realm, everything within a hundred meters was under his control.

He could clearly sense all one hundred and eight Gu Slaves turning to ash in the inferno, and only then did he finally relax.

Night fell.

The entire Qiao Family estate was razed to the ground, consumed by fire.

The thunderstorm continued, though it seemed to have lessened somewhat.

Jiang Xinghai’s mission to Yun Province had come to a fitting end.

He had eliminated the scammers, rescued his countrymen, and annihilated the Qiao Family, a clan that practiced Raising Gu.

The only regret was that Qiao Sihai was still nowhere to be found.

"Young Master Jiang, let’s go. Dinner has been prepared."

Lao Deng prompted gently, seeing Jiang Xinghai gazing into the distance.

"What’s the status of the plane tickets?" Jiang Xinghai was now eager to return to Shanhe Province.

"I just checked," Lao Deng said. "There’s a flight at 9:15 tonight that’s confirmed to depart."

A look of relief crossed Jiang Xinghai’s face, but it was quickly replaced by a frown. "Has Zhu Yan, the one you said was handling things in Shanhe Province, found any leads on Qiao Sihai?"

"Not yet. But Zhu Yan guaranteed she’ll have an answer for you by the time your plane lands." Lao Deng had already contacted her, so he was certain.

Jiang Xinghai glanced at the time. It was six-thirty in the evening.

Then, the group departed.

「After dinner.」

Lao Deng drove Jiang Xinghai to the airport. There were forty minutes to spare before his flight’s departure.
