The Divine Urban Physician

Sun Yi heard sounds behind her and knew that Ye Chen had returned.

She turned around to face him before giving another small spin on her delicate stilettos. Blinking her eyes in excitement, she asked, “Tell me, tell me. Do I look pretty in this?”

“Pretty…”

His answer seemed to have made her day. With a cheerful mood, Sun Yi turned around and continued putting on make-up, humming a light tune as she went.

“What are you dressing up for?” Ye Chen asked.

Secretly, he wished Sun Yi would not attend any banquets (or any form of events at all) dressed like this. Think of all the lechers who would enjoy this ultimate eye-candy!

Although there was nothing between him and Sun Yi at the moment, he had already thought of Sun Yi as the person dearest to him in River City after living together for the past few days.

Sun Yi tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and turned around to smile at Ye Chen. She said, “When a woman puts on makeup, it inevitably means she’s going shopping…”

“Shopping? With who?” asked Ye Chen unthinkingly.

Sun Yi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and explained, “With you, of course. Who else? It’s a Saturday today, and it’s finally my day off. Just the right time to bring you shopping. Take a look at what you’re wearing! Sloppy mess or a messy slop, take your pick. We should get you a mobile phone on the way too. I’d hate it if I can’t contact you during an emergency.”

A surge of warmth blossomed in Ye Chen’s heart when he heard Sun Yi saying all that. In this familiar but equally strange city, there was no one else who cared for him like Sun Yi.

Then, he looked down at his own attire. In spite of what she said, he still felt pretty good about how he looked. “But I don’t like shopping.”

“No, you must go!” Sun Yi dismissed Ye Chen’s idea. She continued, “Actually, I’m curious to see what you look like if you dress up. You might even sweep some ladies off their feet~”

Ye Chen glanced at Sun Yi in her gorgeous get-up. He looked as though an idea had occurred to him suddenly and said, “It’s not impossible to get me to go out… You’d have to change.”

“Done.”

…

After an hour, Ye Chen and Sun Yi—now dressed in a sports attire from head to toe—walked out of Grand City Apartments.

Sun Yi thought Ye Chen was quite something. She actually gave in to his request. Which girl in the world would go shopping in a sports attire? If it was not because of Ye Chen’s insistence, she would prefer never to dress like this in her lifetime.

Fortunately for Sun Yi, with a figure like hers, not even a sports attire could conceal the brilliance of her beauty.

Her attire did not stop many men on the road to turn around and look at her.

River City Myriad Links Square.

Sun Yi first brought Ye Chen for a haircut. With his mess of a hair cut and trimmed, Ye Chen looked perkier than ever.

Added with a pair of dashing, sharp eyebrows that slanted downward onto a pair of piercing dark eyes, they accentuated his thin lips which remained in a perpetual pursed state and the angular contours of his face. He had a tall and strong build, yet not to the point of being beefy. His looks and physique combined to give an impression of solitary aloofness.

“Are we not going to mention how you’ve transformed into another person after a haircut? If you take a walk around any university grounds, I’m sure many girls will gather around you like flies.” Sun Yi lamented.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. She poked Ye Chen’s chest a few times and asked nosily, “Tell me honestly, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? The Magnificent Group is not short of single little beauties, you know~”

Ye Chen shook his head.

For the past five years, he traversed the threshold of life and death, frantically pursuing the path of cultivation. Revenge was his only fuel and hope. How could he ever afford the time to think of being in some lovey-dovey relationship?

Seeing Ye Chen’s answer, Sun Yi asked again with curiosity, “Don’t tell me you’re one of those innocent, loyal virgin puppies who have never been in any relationship?”

Ye Chen’s eyebrows creased. He suddenly recalled an event in the past.

Five years ago, when Ye family still existed, he once had a crush on a girl.

The girl was called Chu Shuran. She was the prettiest girl in school at the time with countless admirers at her feet.

Despite being born to an influential family, he felt as inferior as any ordinary Joe and did not dare to confess his admiration.

Until one day, he mustered all the courage he had and sneakily slipped a love letter to Chu Shuran. He thought the letter would just be ignored and its existence dismissed like a rock that sank into the sea. Yet, much to his surprise, Chu Shuran requested to meet up with Ye Chen at the hill behind their school on the same day itself.

Chu Shuran told Ye Chen that if he could snatch the microphone from the school administrators the next day and express his love for her in front of everyone, she would agree to be in a relationship with him. At that time, Ye Chen was still fairly ignorant of worldly affairs. For the sake of something as ridiculous as love, he actually went and did it the following day.

He ignored everyone’s ridicule. He only hoped that Chu Shuran would fulfill her promise to him.

He did not expect what happened next. Chu Shuran rejected him in front of everyone and wagged a finger at Ye Chen.

She said, “You’re a piece of useless trash. How dare you pursue someone like me? You’re a?toad lusting over a swan’s meat.?1?Don’t think too highly of yourself just because you have the Ye family behind you. In my eyes and the entire Chu family’s eyes, you and your parents are worth nothing!”

That was the beginning of Ye Chen’s downward spiral. His nickname, ‘trash,’ spread to every corner in school.

On the day it happened, he overheard a conversation with his own ears in the toilet that it was all a ploy—a bet between Chu Shuran and the other young masters in River City.

They were betting on how trashy the Ye family trash could be!

With what he did, Ye Chen proved to them how much of a trash he was.

To this day, Ye Chen could clearly remember how everyone extended their fingers at him and their laughing faces ridiculing him.

Ye Chen woke up from his reminiscence. His lips curled into a cold sneer.

Indeed, Ye Chen from five years ago was undeniably trash.

However, what was Chu Shuran to him now?

So what if she was from the Chu family, the leader of the Four Great Families in River City?

One day, Ye Chen would be the one standing at the top of the world, telling everyone that he, Ye Chen, left his mark there.

When that happens, everything in River City would be nothing but an insignificant speck of dust to him!

Standing next to him, Sun Yi noticed Ye Chen’s shifting moods and thought that she had accidentally hurt his ego. She hurriedly apologized by saying, “Uh… I shouldn’t have said that. There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin. I’m a virgin too… So, I guess we’re even now, right?” Please visit 𝒇𝚛𝙚𝙚𝘸𝙚𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎𝘭. c𝑜𝘮

Ye Chen could not help thinking how adorable Sun Yi looked when she was nervous. He joked, “If that’s the case… We have no plans tonight anyway, why don’t we dedicate our virginities to each other? Then, we’d be even too.”

Sun Yi did not expect such a bold statement from Ye Chen. She turned red all the way to the tips of her ears. Noticing that a few passers-by turned around to look at them, she gave Ye Chen a mean glare and said, “Nonsense. If you want my virginity, you’d have to pick a star from the sky and bring it to me!”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and asked in a serious tone, “For real?”

He knew that at the highest state of cultivation, one could transcend voids and control the sun and moon at will.

How insignificant would plucking a star off the sky be for him then?

...

Naturally, Sun Yi would not believe that Ye Chen could do it and nodded frantically, as though she was pounding garlic in a mortar with her delicate chin.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, Sun Yi, will not go back on my words. Alright, stop fooling around now. Now, let’s go get you some clothes. How can you not notice how tattered your clothes are? You’d even wear them through the day! This is the big city, after all! Oh, right. Didn’t you have some of those medical prescriptions? I’m sure if you sell a few of those, you’d be able to afford taking over Myriad Links over here.”

Despite it being the truth, Ye Chen would never do that.

It was true that he possessed countless prescriptions. If he sold them off recklessly, however, it would attract unwanted attention from those with power. His main concern was that it might disrupt the balance in Huaxia.

The safest way was to work his way up and be in complete control of power before he started selling his prescriptions. Otherwise, he would set fire to himself!

The prescription for low-level Beauty Pills was not too precious in the first place, seeing how it only had wonderful effects among cosmetic companies.
