The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Heart Like a Serpent and Scorpion
 

In the square, countless pairs of eyes turned to look over.

They saw a girl dressed in a white dress gracefully walking their way.

The girl was at most 20 years old, with exquisitely beautiful features, skin as tender as tofu, and an ethereal aura as refreshing as a drizzle in an empty mountain. Her figure was flexible and graceful, her almond eyes and peach cheeks enchanting, and her eyes shimmered with spiritual energy. She was truly breathtaking.

Upon looking at her, Huang Xiaolong noted that she had already refined 28 strands of True Qi within her, far surpassing Ying Aoshan.

So young, so beautiful, and already a promising ancient martial arts Grandmaster. Despite hailing from a small family like the Xia Family, she was indeed a good match for Ying Aotian.

The Xia Family! Xia Chuchu!

For a second-tier martial arts family like the Xia Family to produce a martial arts prodigy like Xia Chuchu, the probability is perhaps only once in a hundred years.

Among the Ying Family women attending the clan meeting, there were quite a few beauties, but most of them felt inferior in front of Xia Chuchu.

Fairly speaking, Xia Chuchu indeed was a peerless beauty, on par with Ying Aoshan.

“Little Long…so, isn’t Xia Chuchu beautiful? However, she is out of your league. She’s going to be our sister-in-law.” Ying Aoshan chuckled on the side.

Indeed, Huang Xiaolong had been watching Xia Chuchu all along.

However, all of a sudden, an odd expression flashed across Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. It seemed like he had discovered something that was making him want to burst into laughter. However, he forcefully held back and then glanced at Ying Aotian, but didn’t say anything.

“Little Long, you are making a strange expression~~” Ying Aoshan was curious.

“Nothing, nothing, hehehe.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled lightly.

Among the visitors, besides Xia Chuchu, there were two elderly men who seemed to be elders from the Xia Family. Huang Xiaolong had not seen them at the martial arts competition in Jiangnan City. As for their martial arts cultivation, it was quite average. Though they were both ancient martial arts grandmasters, one had refined only 2 strands of True Qi, while the other had refined 4 strands of True Qi.

Next to Xia Chuchu, there was a mysterious figure wrapped in a black cloak, with even his face hidden. Judging by his silhouette, he was a man, with only a pair of eyes sporadically flickering with a concealed sharpness visible.

Huang Xiaolong noted that this person had refined an astonishing 95 strands of True Qi within him, slightly surpassing even Ying Qingfeng!

Huang Xiaolong chanted an insight spell silently, taking a quick look. Under the thick black cloth, a young, extremely handsome man’s face was concealed, his gaze gleaming with a wicked charm.

‘So young, and his cultivation surpasses Ying Qingfeng, hehehe, could he be one of the young masters from another of the top ten ancient martial arts families? Hahaha~~fun, quite fun.’ Huang Xiaolong’s lips curled into a slightly teasing smile.

“Hahaha! Niece Chuchu, you’re here? Hm…you do indeed have the qualifications to participate in the Ying Family meeting.” Ying Xiao rose to his feet, welcoming Xia Chuchu.

He was quite satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law.

Despite her humble origin, she was beautiful, graceful, and her martial arts talent was acceptable.

Moreover, now that Ying Aotian’s standing had drastically fallen after being crippled, having such a wife could bring some good luck, and he should be content.

At this moment, Ying Aotian looked quite moved, smiling at Xia Chuchu. It seemed that he did have a liking for Xia Chuchu, his already betrothed fiancee.

“Uncle Ying, how do you do.” Xia Chuchu and the others came over to Ying Xiao’s side and bowed, “Uncle, it’s been many years since we last met. You still look strong and robust. I, Chuchu, am here to greet you.”

The words were full of politeness and respect, but when Huang Xiaolong listened, there was a hint of perfunctory undertone in Xia Chuchu’s tone.

“Chuchu.” Ying Aotian greeted with a smile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ah…brother Aotian.” Xia Chuchu gave a somewhat awkward smile. Her eyes reflected something complex – sympathy, surprise, eventually turning into disdain and…disgust!

“Ah~~ Things are not that simple,” Huang Xiaolong increasingly confirmed his thoughts.

“Chuchu, today is our Ying Family meeting. Since you’ve come…hmm, your and Aotian’s age is not small, it’s time to get married.” Ying Xiao said with anticipation on his face.

“This…this…” Xia Chuchu hesitated a bit, then bit her teeth saying, “Uncle, Brother Aotian, today, Chuchu took the liberty to attend the gathering of the Ying Family to discuss this marriage matter…”

Taking a deep breath, Xia Chuchu mustered up her courage to say, “When I was betrothed to Brother Aotian, I was still young and naive…actually…even though we are all in the martial arts circle, in today’s society, the freedom of love and marriage is respected…It’s no longer the time when parents arranged marriages…”

Upon hearing these words, Ying Xiao’s face abruptly changed! The satisfied smile on his face also froze!

Ying Aotian was a smart man. Xia Chuchu had explained her views clearly, and he naturally understood some things. His face also became extremely pale, and his whole body was trembling with anger, shame, and humiliation.

The vast square was filled with the Ying Family and the Elder Group, Family Head, each one of them had their faces turned.

“Sigh~~~Today, Chuchu is here to…to tell Brother Aotian that a coerced melon is not sweet…and, Brother Aotian is now injured…his martial arts cultivation abolished…Chuchu…Chuchu and him are no longer from the same world.” Xia Chuchu’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard her loud and clear!

“Chuchu is here today to…wipe out this marriage proposal!”

Damn it! She came to call off the marriage!!!

Fury!

All of the Ying Family was filled with rage!

Since ancient times, calling off a marriage is a great shame and disgrace for any family!

Let alone an old and distinguished family like the Ying Family, even smaller families, and ordinary families would become the laughing stock when encountered with a canceled engagement. Whoever goes out from the family would be a subject of ridicule!

Today, Xia Chuchu calling off the marriage is not just humiliating Ying Xiao and Ying Aotian.

But the entire Ying Family!

Only Ying Chong’s faction was laughing at their misfortune.

It could vaguely be seen that Xia Chuchu’s calling off the engagement today might be related to Ying Chong’s faction. Maybe, it was even directed by Ying Chong’s faction!

“How dare you!!!” Ying Xiao finally exploded like a volcanic eruption! His whole body was filled with overwhelming rage, his face was frightfully grim, as if he was about to kill, to consume someone. “Xia Chuchu, you’re looking for trouble!”

Ying Aotian’s face turned pale, completely bloodless, his fists clenched tight, his nails deeply embedded into his flesh! Blood oozed out!

Insult!

Great Insult!

Canceling an engagement is a great shame, especially when Xia Chuchu announced it at the Ying Family meeting, a crucial moment when all the clan members gathered together.

And she even said that they were not from the same world…

This kind of humiliation, it was like pushing someone into the abyss!

What a heart of a snake, no more than this!!!

“Your Xia family, in front of my Ying family, is nothing but mere ants! My son’s willingness to marry you is simply the luck of your Xia ancestors! You dare to cancel the engagement? Great! Today, I, Ying Xiao, will bring disaster to you ungrateful wretch!” Overwhelmed with anger, Ying Xiao’s aura exploded, sweeping over Xia Chuchu!
