Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1205 - 1204: Fulfilling the Promise Made Before

"The other day, the Three Great Domains personally came to apologize, which I found suspicious. Now it seems they were well-prepared. This time, when going to find the fierce beasts, running into Wang Benchu revealed the issue—they never took my words to heart."

Fang Yu's gaze turned cold, "If words don't work, then the sword will have to suffice."

Just then—

Knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door echoed.

Fang Yu was taken aback. Who would knock at this time? Those who knew his habits usually wouldn't show up after sunset.

Every time he finished handling matters, Fang Yu would rest in his room for a day or two, which had almost become a routine. Everyone at Tiandu Mountain who knew him was aware of this habit.

Moreover, after a big battle, the energy and primordial qi depletion required him to get more rest.

However.

Fang Yu still said, "Come in!"

The door creaked open.

It wasn't anyone else who walked in.

But Fang Yu's lawful wife, Ye Wenjun.

Ye Wenjun saw Fang Yu sitting upright in the hall with no apparent emotion. She walked to his side and said, "There's something I need to talk to you about."

Fang Yu was again taken aback and said, "Go ahead."

"Fang Yu, I seriously ask you, do you enjoy flirting with women outside?"

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu was shocked and quickly shook his head, "Wife, I swear by the heavens, how could you think that? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"Stop it. I'm talking seriously with you." Ye Wenjun rolled her eyes.

"I swear to the heavens… you'll be the only woman for me in this lifetime… I still remember the first time I saw you. The moment you appeared on TV, I secretly vowed that this woman would never escape my grasp!" Fang Yu said.

"..."

"Uh… stop looking at me like that… Even if you don't believe a man's empty words, shouldn't you believe the facts? In terms of wealth, how many could rival your Ye Family in Jiangzhou and Yanjing back then? Marrying you would save me decades, no, lifetimes of effort," Fang Yu said.

"You're saying you were after my family's money?" Ye Wenjun frowned slightly.

"Nonsense… I'm just stating the facts, don't change the subject; in terms of appearance, your beauty, wife, is startlingly beautiful, I don't need to say it, how many people treated you as a goddess back then? Which heir of a Martial Arts Family didn't fight to the death over you?; in terms of character, everyone knows you're educated and refined, accepting high class education and even willing to be the president of Ye Family Group upon returning to China, bearing such a responsibility as a woman! How could a man not lose face?!"

Fang Yu coughed and continued, "In conclusion, you are the best woman in the world. How could I still flirt outside?"

"Smooth talker."

In the past, Ye Wenjun disliked such sweet talk very much. Now listening to it, her expression was serious, yet the corners of her mouth tugged into a silent smile, "You speak well, but I heard you promised someone something that you haven't fulfilled."

"A promise? Nonsense, there's no such thing," Fang Yu said, "And you know my character best, no matter what promise, I'm the kind of person who must fulfill it."

Ye Wenjun looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! I'm not someone who breaks promises!" Fang Yu vowed earnestly.

"You promised Xu Liu to marry Xu Zhaopei… Did you forget?" Ye Wenjun said.

"..."

Fang Yu was stunned.

He tried to read something from Ye Wenjun's expression, but he couldn't see anything, "Wife, don't overthink it… That was a special situation; she was being forced into marriage, I was just pretending to be her boyfriend temporarily."

"I believe you pretending to be a boyfriend… but why promise such a thing?" Ye Wenjun asked.

"Wait a minute."

Fang Yu raised his hand, suspiciously looking at Ye Wenjun, "Wife, why do I feel something's not right…"

Ye Wenjun met his suspicious look.

They locked eyes for a while. Then Ye Wenjun said, "I've been staying with Miss Xu these past few days… Though she possesses ordinary blood, she's an extraordinary woman… I feel she has many worries."

Ye Wenjun continued:

"She said ever since the great disaster ended, she has had no attachments… Her only dream is to be with the person she loves."

"No attachments?"

"Her grandfather, Xu Liu, passed away soon after the great disaster ended," Ye Wenjun said blandly.

Fang Yu was shocked.

Though life and death are common, Fang Yu knew he could have extended Xu Liu's life with his incredible medical skill and cultivation. Xu Liu was a dual martial artist in his lifetime. If he had taken the Life Extending Pill, given today's world of spiritual energy, breaking through wouldn't be difficult.

Surely Xu Zhaopei wouldn't have let him die.

Besides, why didn't she tell him?

Fang Yu couldn't make sense of it.

Ye Wenjun said, "Miss Xu said the old man wanted to leave and follow his old companion but could never let go of his granddaughter… Before he passed, her lifelong matters were his only concern."

Fang Yu remained silent.

Ye Wenjun continued, "I think Miss Xu is deeply attached to you; you shouldn't be so indifferent. Since she's been at Tiandu Mountain, she's been smiling outwardly, but do you truly understand her inner pain?"

"I know… but—"

"The modern world has long been destroyed. You may not need to abide by the old ways anymore. No one would imprison you," Ye Wenjun said.

At this point.

Fang Yu suddenly stood up, eyes wide open, "I get it… Wife, are you suggesting I take a concubine?!"

"Take a concubine?" Ye Wenjun frowned, her expression a bit unhappy, "Stop playing around with fancy ideas and don't misinterpret my words… I'm asking you to take these matters seriously… There are things you must clarify; being vague only harms yourself and others."

"Uh…"

"In any case, think about what I said carefully!"

After saying this.

Ye Wenjun stood up, not giving Fang Yu a chance to explain, and left the room.

...

In the room, only Fang Yu was left.

Staring blankly.

"What kind of situation is this…" Fang Yu said helplessly.

"The mistress seems confused too," the little elf's voice sounded.

"Nonsense… Being coveted by a rival, yet having to let her man face it, who wouldn't be confused?"

"What does the master plan to do then?"

"Whatever… my wife is letting me decide, come to a conclusion… Who knows if she agrees or not?" Fang Yu said helplessly.

Thinking about the emotional entanglements around him made Fang Yu's head spin.

"Forget it… another one won't make much difference. If I open this up, those few women will surely strangle me… I'll absorb the core's energy first." Fang Yu's expression turned serious, "Come forth, Nine Layer Tower—"
