The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 557: Chapter 557 Ying Aotian
 

Ying Aotian walked over with a friendly smile towards Huang Xiaolong and then took a seat.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was an aura of desolation that shrouded his whole body. His cultivation had been wasted and he had fallen from grace, from being an exceptional individual, he became a good-for-nothing.

There was nothing in his eyes but resentment and despair, but his state of mind was fine. He was able to restrain himself and at least he did not exhibit any signs of wanting to live or die.

A drowning man will catch at a straw, and yet Ying Aotian’s qualities remained high above the average man.

“Little Long, my older brother Aotian and I have had a close relationship since our childhood. Brother Aotian has taken good care of me. You…you must help my brother Aotian out!” Ying Aoshan swiftly gripped Huang Xiaolong’s hand like it was her lifeline.

Ying Xiao was unable to find a solution to Ying Aotian’s injury. This did not mean Huang Xiaolong would be unable to.

“Heh ~~ Okay, now sister Aoshan, don’t make my life difficult. As for my injury, the Bian Family’s experts have already examined it…” Ying Aotian corners of his mouth tugged into a self-mocking bitter smile. “It’s hopeless. Perhaps that’s just my fate.”

“That’s not true! Brother! Don’t give up! Little Long is far more capable than those Bian Family people!” Ying Aotian exclaimed urgently.

Ying Aotian didn’t have a lot of faith in what Ying Aoshan said, after all, the Bian Family was one of Huaxia’s top ten ancient martial families with a heritage of divine doctor’s arts, capable of reviving the dead and turning the rotten into magical.

Huang Xiaolong glanced at Ying Aotian and quickly perceived some insights.

Inside Ying Aotian’s body, a total of 81 strands of True Qi had been condensed. This made him even stronger than Ying Xiao. He truly lived up to his reputation as the second most talented in the current Ying Family!

But each strand of True Qi was enveloped and sealed by a dark aura, devoid of life and appearing as if dead.

“You didn’t get poisoned, you got hurt by a poisonous skill.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled lightly. “This skill sealed all the True Qi in your body and made you a waste.”

“Brother-in-law, you!” Ying Aotian jolted, showing an astonished expression. “You…you figured it out? That’s correct! I was wounded by a mysterious loose cultivator. He harnessed a deep and unfathomable poisonous skill. Even though he wasted me, from a martial artist’s perspective, I admit defeat from that fight.”

“See, Brother Aotian? Isn’t my Little Long really discerning?” Ying Aoshan exclaimed joyfully. “Little Long, you can definitely heal my brother, right?”

“Healing is possible. But let me think about what method to use.” Huang Xiaolong leisurely spoke. “The clan meeting is about to start. Right now, everyone knows you’re a waste. It’s better to heal you on the day of the clan meeting. This way, everyone will be awe-struck, and it’ll be more fun, right?”

“Huh? Brother-in-law, your…your… Your idea is quite novel indeed.” Ying Aotian’s eyes lit up. “If I were to recover my cultivation on the day of the clan meeting, it would indeed surprise the enemies and we could attack them unexpectedly… disrupting their plans!”

“Who do you mean by ‘enemies’?” Ying Aoshan asked in a low voice.

Ying Aotian sighed. “It’s likely my uncle and his son Ying Qingfeng.”

After a pause, Ying Aotian lightly patted Huang Xiaolong on the shoulder. “If that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you, brother-in-law. No matter whether you can heal my toxic wounds or not, I am deeply grateful to you. In fact, us coming over tonight was to express gratitude on behalf of our father for saving our lives… If you hadn’t dissuaded us in time, our line would have been completely wiped out before we even returned to our ancestral lands. Just thinking about it gives me the chills.”

“You don’t need to be so courteous.” Huang Xiaolong replied. “Well, in short, you continue playing the role of the waste. On the day of the clan meeting, I will ensure your triumphant return.” Huang Xiaolong said playfully with a smile. “I also want to see what kind of expressions those who plotted against you will have then… Hahaha~~ Fun, it’s going to be heaps of fun.”

“Indeed, fun.” Ying Aotian gave a casual smile and then stood up. “Well, sister Aoshan, brother-in-law, I won’t disturb your rest anymore. A moment in spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold… Hahahaha~~ Brother-in-law, tomorrow, I will take you around our ancestral lands.”

With that said, Ying Aotian left laughing.

“Hey, darling, your half-brother from the same father is quite open-minded.” Huang Xiaolong had to admit, he started having a certain level of affection for Ying Aotian.

“Hmm hmm. Little Long, my brother is very magnanimous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have achieved what he has today. But… Little Long, can you really heal my brother on the day the clan meeting begins and cause a sensation?” Ying Aoshan asked with a smile.

“There’s nothing in the world that I can’t do,” Huang Xiaolong replied seriously. “Hahaha~~ Come, my darling, let’s go back to our room and rest…”

Ying Aoshan blushed and muttered, “I’m still a little sore…”

…

Nighttime.

Ying Xiao returned, bristling with rage.

He went to see the family elders, but instead of seeking justice for Ying Xiao’s branch, they favored the branch of Ying Chong!

“Is it because one of the princes, Ying Qingfeng, emerged from Ying Chong’s line that led the family to abandon my branch?” Ying Xiao shivered.

The cruelty of the ancient martial world, where the weak preyed on the strong and only the fittest survived, fully manifested itself in this moment.

A sense of foreboding wrapped tightly around Ying Xiao. Looking at the lonely moon outside his window, he thought, “Many forces within the family have already begun to lean towards Ying Chong’s line… It seems like there’s a conspiracy targeting my line… Could it be that… this upcoming clan meeting will be the fuse that causes my line, Ying Xiao, to decline?”

Ying Xiao felt deep helplessness, fatigue, exhaustion, and… fear!

…

Early the next morning, Huang Xiaolong woke up. Looking at the languid and gentle Ying Aoshan like a domestic kitten in his arms, Huang Xiaolong revealed a satisfied smile.

His thoughts wandered back to last night, which seemed a little too wild as Ying Aoshan had been unable to handle it halfway through and had repeatedly cried for mercy…

The air quality in this village was excellent. Outside the window, a myriad of birds could already be heard chirping, full of vitality.

Attendants served Huang Xiaolong and Ying Aoshan as they washed and cleaned. Then, they served a well-prepared breakfast.

They were handmade pastries and fresh sheep’s milk.

After breakfast, Huang Xiaolong, suited in a fashionable Qin Dynasty male outfit, prepared by the tailor overnight, went outside.

The measurements were tailored to fit him perfectly.

Dressed in ancient clothes, Huang Xiaolong appeared even more refined and elegant, standing out among the rest.

“Wow, Little Long, you look good in ancient clothes.” Ying Aoshan watched Huang Xiaolong with a star-struck look, unable to take her eyes off him.

A few maids laughed merrily at the side.

Ying Aoshan also changed into a Qin era female outfit, which made her look noble and elegant, beautiful like a fairy in a painting.

The two of them, dressed up, were ready to go out just when Ying Aotian came.

“Brother-in-law, you really stand out.” Ying Aotian laughed. His eyes displayed more spirit than the night before. He wasn’t as miserable looking as he was the previous night. “Alright, brother-in-law, let my sister Aoshan and I show you around.”

“Hehe, alright, since I have come here, I’m ready to have some fun.” Huang Xiaolong stretched a bit, his eyes full of curious and playful brightness.

The three of them walked side by side to the outside.
