Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 779 - 753: It Really Is You

Liucheng, an ancient small city, isn’t considered large, with a population of only two to three million at most, which is perhaps one-tenth the size of Donglin City.

Moreover, its geographical location is quite remote, so its economy is not particularly developed. The old saying goes, "Poor mountains and rivers breed tricky people," and while Liucheng’s economy isn’t thriving, it is very chaotic with gang forces entrenched, dominating the city’s underground scene. The major gangs form a complex web of underground power in Liucheng.

Even capable of influencing the surrounding cities.

The gambling industry in Liucheng is the city’s pillar, which might seem like a joke for a city.

On the pedestrian street, a bustling area, three beautiful figures strolled hand in hand, creating a picturesque scene and attracting countless glances. In a place like Liucheng, not too big or too small, even though there were three great beauties, it was clear that they were not to be provoked, so no one dared approach them along the way.

In a place like Liucheng, you must never recklessly provoke others, or else you might unknowingly offend someone ruthless and end up being hacked to pieces.

Fights and brawls are almost a daily occurrence in Liucheng. As long as no lives are lost, even the police can’t be bothered to intervene. Underground affairs are left to the underground forces to resolve.

"Xinyue sister, you’re still thinking about Tangyu, aren’t you? Since we returned from Snow Mountain, you’ve been down in the dumps, always lost in thought," Tang Guo asked as she looked at Xinyue.

Her thoughts being called out, Xinyue’s face unavoidably blushed with shyness, and she immediately shook her head, "It’s nothing, I’ve just been in a bad mood recently."

"It’s not just a bad mood, you’re completely lost. I dragged you out to shop, and you’ve just been looking down the whole time. If I didn’t pull you along, you might have walked straight into oncoming traffic," Tang Guo said.

Xinyue’s face turned even redder. Over the past month, she truly thought of Tangyu incessantly, and the image of him was inseparable from her mind. The more she tried not to think about it, the more she did, feeling as if she were coming down with lovesickness.

She didn’t understand why she felt this way, maybe—love doesn’t need any reason. Sometimes, even a brief encounter can be etched into eternity.

Tang Guo tried to console her, "Oh come on, Xinyue sister, we’re in completely different worlds from that Tangyu. He was just a passing character in our lives. After this, we might not even have a chance to see him again. Forget about it, let it go."

Lan Yi nodded and said, "Yeah, Xinyue, let it go. Your fondness for him is simply because he saved us. Such feelings are only temporary. He has his life, and we have ours. I think Jin Hong is quite nice, I really don’t understand why you—"

As soon as Jin Hong was mentioned, Xinyue’s face fell, "That’s enough, Lan Yi, don’t bring him up in front of me again, I don’t want to hear that name."

"Xinyue, how can you be so—," Lan Yi appeared somewhat angry.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Tang Guo quickly intervened, "Alright, alright, both of you stop. Every time this topic comes up, you both get heated. We’re still in public, it’s not good to let others see this. Come on, let’s go buy some clothes."

"Beat them to death!"

Just then, a fierce shout rang out. A group of more than twenty thugs charged forth, each wielding a steel rod. Another gang of around a dozen people, also armed with steel rods, were not about to back down. As both groups emerged, they instantly began to fight.

This scene caused everyone to scatter like birds and beasts. The once-lively pedestrian street suddenly descended into chaos. The shops hastily closed their doors, fearing innocent bystanders might be caught in the crossfire.

Soon, the pedestrian street was deserted, leaving only the two warring gangs. Clearly coming from two different gang forces, they were brazen enough to clash right there on the busy pedestrian street.

Xinyue and her friends were a step behind; by the time they tried to take cover, they found that the doors of the shops on both sides were shut tight.

And they were caught right in the middle of the two clashing groups.

Seeing this lineup, the three of them were quite frightened.

The gangs, initially intent on battling, had their attention diverted by the presence of Xinyue and her friends. Many couldn’t help but brighten up at the sight of them.

"Never mind that, just attack," a ferocious man roared, and the group of over twenty people raised their steel rods and charged forward, bellowing.

"Ah!" The three women instantly clung to each other in terror.

"Aaaaah!!!"

Suddenly, screams filled their ears, but to their bewilderment, they felt no one near them. The two gangs had not even touched them—what was going on?

In less than ten seconds, all noise ceased, as if the storm had passed, and tranquility returned.

With their curiosity piqued, the three women slowly raised their heads, only to see a handsome young man smiling at them. Naturally, it was none other than our Great Marshal, Tangyu.

Seeing the three women, Tangyu said with an elegant smile, "I didn’t scare you, did I?"

Seeing that familiar face, the one that haunted her dreams a million times, a rush of emotions, an inexplicable heartache, an overwhelming urge, and a sudden impulse surged within Xinyue. She felt a painful tightness in her eyes, as tears welled up, and she gazed at Tangyu, lost, "It’s you, it really is you—"

She feared she was dreaming.

Upon seeing Tangyu, Tang Guo also screamed, "Oh my gosh, am I seeing a ghost?"

Tangyu glared at her annoyingly, "Ghost your head, are you calling yourself a ghost? Have you ever seen a ghost this handsome? Why don’t you say I’m an Immortal instead?"

The gears in Tang Guo’s eyes spun as she said, "Eh, Tangyu, it really is you, haha, that’s fantastic, I’ve finally seen you again. Hehe, I thought our last goodbye was forever, but who would’ve expected, totally unexpected. Haha, don’t tell me you came specifically to find Sister Xinyue, you’re here to relieve someone’s longing," she teased.

Xinyue’s face flushed immediately, and she pinched Tang Guo, protesting softly, "Tang Guo, stop talking nonsense, who has any longing——"

"What I’m saying is the truth, you do have lovesickness, and now you don’t want me to speak the truth? Who is the one always lost in their thoughts? Look, your dreamboat has come, you must be over the moon," Tang Guo said with an aggrieved expression.

Xinyue was even more embarrassed and bashful, wishing she could dig a hole and crawl inside.

Watching the two joking around, Tangyu shook his head and chuckled. This feeling was indeed very warm and pleasant.

It was also unexpected for Tangyu that upon arriving in Liucheng, he would encounter Xinyue and her friends by such a twist of fate. Could this be destiny ordained by the heavens?

After dealing with those two groups of people, Liang Youshan and his companions approached, and upon seeing Xinyue and the others, Liang Youshan’s smile became more mischievous, "Haha, Boss, didn’t I say it’s all about fate? This is the will of heaven, predestined by the heavens. Just now I was saying, and I never expected it to come true so soon."

Xinyue’s face was already so red she could hardly look at Tangyu, feeling utterly shy and embarrassed as her inner thoughts were spoken aloud.

Liang Youshan flashed a grin at Xinyue and Tang Guo, "Hello there, two beautiful ladies, it’s a surprise we meet again so soon. Yo, Xinyue, feeling shy? We’re all adults here, there’s no need to be shy."

Xinyue glanced at Liang Youshan and nodded as a way of greeting.

However, Tang Guo outright ignored Liang Youshan, leaving him quite frustrated. What’s the matter, am I not a handsome guy?

"Tangyu, why have you come to Liucheng?" asked Tang Guo curiously.

Tangyu replied, "There’s some business to take care of."

"Oh, so does that mean you’ll be staying in Liucheng for a while?" Tang Guo immediately said, excited.

Tangyu nodded, "Yeah, we’ll be staying for a while, maybe for a month. This matter might get a bit troublesome."

"Haha, wow, that’s great! Yay, someone can be happy now, no need to pine day and night, cooking red beans in lovesickness," Tang Guo said, visibly thrilled.

Xinyue glared at Tang Guo fiercely, but such an attack was completely ineffective against her.

Tang Guo then suggested, "Tangyu, this must be your first time in Liucheng, right? It seems like you don’t have any arrangements. Why not stay at Sister Xinyue’s place? She’s a little rich missy living alone in a big villa. Squeezing the four of you in there? Easy peasy. Hehe, how about it? My suggestion isn’t bad, right? Haha, you don’t even have to thank me."

Xinyue wanted to kill Tang Guo for that suggestion, but— the proposal was actually quite appealing.

Without waiting for Tangyu to answer, Liang Youshan hurriedly replied, "Aiyoh, only Tang Guo, the beauty, truly understands us. We’ve just arrived and don’t have any arrangements. We were even thinking of looking for a hotel to stay in, hehe. If the lovely Xinyue’s villa can accommodate us, we’d naturally be more than happy. It’s just—that, beautiful Xinyue, we won’t be intruding, will we? It would be embarrassing if we’re disturbing you; after all, we might need to stay for a month, not just a day or two."

With a flushed face, Xinyue said, "No problem, of course it won’t be a disturbance, we are friends, after all. Besides, you are our lifesavers. If we don’t host you well now that you have come to Liucheng, wouldn’t we appear rude."

Liang Youshan replied with an unabashed face, "Hehe, in that case, we really won’t hold back."

"Don’t be polite with me, it’s the least we can do," Xinyue replied.

With a smirk, Liang Youshan said, "Anyway, we’re all going to be one family in the future, right? So, there’s no need for politeness at all."

At the word ’one family’, Xinyue blushed and turned aside. Tang Guo gave Liang Youshan a disdainful glare, while Tangyu unceremoniously gave him a kick.

Yet in his heart, he praised his brother, appreciating having a little brother who knew how to talk.

"Let’s head to my place then," Xinyue suggested.

"Sure, that would be nice," Tangyu nodded in agreement.

Liang Youshan whispered in Tangyu’s ear, "Hehe, Boss, I knew you liked it like that, go get ’em."

Tangyu, annoyed, gave Liang Youshan a glare, "Go get your sister, seriously? Dude, I’m pure, alright?"
