Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law
Chapter 197: Only Two Friends

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Only Two Friends

Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed as the evil spirits before him emitted a sinister and violent aura; he could no longer distinguish whether these evil spirits were real or merely an illusion to deceive the eyes.

At that moment, countless evil spirits rushed towards Chen Xuan, looking as if they were about to devour him alive.

Chen Xuan’s mind instantly conjured a supernatural ability, Suppress the Malevolent!

If these evil spirits were indeed malevolent, then the art of suppression was the perfect counter!

Chen Xuan bit his finger, chanted the incantation, and with blood as his sword, he struck at the evil spirits.

Zing!

The blood fell upon the evil spirits like a branding iron upon snow, instantly scorching them away into nothingness!

Wei Xuanming was also gravely injured by this art of suppression, spitting out a mouthful of blood and tumbling backwards through the air!

Gu Tianhao and Gu Chen, standing nearby, were utterly dumbfounded.

Hellish evil spirits, quelled by blood!

The entire scene before them had completely shattered their understanding of the world, leaving them utterly shocked.

Wei Xuanming, severely wounded by the blood sword, struggled to rise from the ground.

"Dragon... Dragon Blood! How is this possible! How can this be..."

Wei Xuanming’s eyes were wide with shock, his face expressing utter astonishment.

Chen Xuan’s expression subtly changed.

Although it had been some time since the Dragon Pattern on his forehead had awakened, he still had no clue as to its origin.

Now, hearing Wei Xuanming utter the words "Dragon Blood," it was evident that he knew something about his own secret!

"What do you mean by ’Dragon Blood’?" Chen Xuan asked coldly.

Wei Xuanming wore an expression of surprise and let out a bitter laugh, "It seems you don’t know much about your own origins. Well, let me tell you, this Dragon Blood is..."

Just as Chen Xuan was focused and eager to understand everything.

Whoosh!

Wei Xuanming’s sharp, scythe-like claws suddenly lunged toward Chen Xuan’s neck.

He was attempting a sneak attack!

Unfortunately for him, Chen Xuan didn’t give him the chance.

Before Wei Xuanming could get close.

Swish!

The Peach Blossom Needle struck in an instant, piercing Wei Xuanming’s throat!

Blood spurted out, and Wei Xuanming clutched at his neck as he fell to the ground.

"Dragon... gurgle... Blood..."

With a final gurgle, Wei Xuanming breathed no more.

Looking at Wei Xuanming’s body, Chen Xuan’s expression was solemn.

He’d had the chance to learn more about the secret of the Dragon Blood, but now, with the death of Wei Xuanming, that knowledge was lost.

Then, Chen Xuan’s gaze fell upon the black jade bracelet on Wei Xuanming’s wrist.

He clearly remembered that it was using this black bracelet that Wei Xuanming had summoned those evil spirits!

Clearly, this black jade bracelet was no ordinary trinket!

Without hesitation, Chen Xuan removed the bracelet from Wei Xuanming’s wrist and tucked it into his pocket.

With his Dragon Blood just recently awakened, Chen Xuan lacked an understanding of many things that existed in this world; with items like the black jade bracelet, having more could never be a disadvantage.

By this time, the Gu family father and son had approached Chen Xuan.

"Gu Tianhao gives thanks to Miracle Doctor Chen for saving our lives!"

The Gu family father and son knelt before Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan’s expression was calm, "This time you were lucky that I was here. Next time, you would do well to heed the advice of others!"

Gu Tianhao was filled with anxiety, his previous arrogance gone.

He had just witnessed the abilities of the Divine Doctor before him; in the presence of such a person, his status as the head of the merchant association meant nothing!

"Thanks for the advice of Miracle Doctor Chen, Gu Tianhao will bear it in mind!"

Subsequently, Gu Tianhao pulled out a token and offered it with both hands.

"This is the Southern Merchant Association Chief Medallion. All members of the Nanjiang Merchant Association, upon witnessing this medallion, should see it as if seeing the Chief himself. Should Miracle Doctor Chen ever need anything, the myriad merchants of Nanjiang are at your disposal!"

Chen Xuan’s eyebrows raised.

In Nanjiang, commerce has always been the main focus, with the Southern Merchant Association spreading across the nation, famed since ancient times.

This Southern Merchant Association Chief Medallion indeed carries significant weight!

Without any false modesty, Chen Xuan accepted the medallion and then left straight away.

"Just who is this Miracle Doctor Chen really, to be so formidable!" exclaimed Gu Chen after Chen Xuan had departed.

Gu Tianhao, however, had already come to a realization, "He comes from Huai City. Apart from that person, who else in the whole of Huai City could possess such skills!"

Something dawned on Gu Chen, and he gasped in surprise, "Dad, are you saying he is that Chen..."

Gu Tianhao gestured to stop him, "That person has always kept a low profile. We must not reveal his identity to anyone. Also, transfer thirty billion in the name of the Gu Family to Miracle Doctor Chen. The one who should be sought after is him indeed!"

Returning to Huai City that evening, Chen Xuan picked up Xiao Yu and sent her back to Fenghua Residential Area.

But upon opening the front door, he saw no sign of Han Jingting.

Chen Xuan casually asked, "It’s so late, why hasn’t Jingting come back yet?"

Ding Lijuan snorted coldly, "What’s it to you? If you can find women outside, can’t Jingting find men outside too?"

"Let me tell you, Jingting has gone on a date with Jun Chen tonight. If the two of them are happy, perhaps she won’t come back and will stay out for the night!"

Curiosity filled Xiao Yu’s innocent face, "Daddy, why is mommy with someone else? Shouldn’t you two be together at night?"

Chen Xuan’s expression turned grim.

This so-called mother-in-law was becoming more and more outrageous, speaking such nonsense in front of Xiao Yu.

After Chen Xuan left, Loh Anni chased after him.

"Auntie didn’t lie to you, Jingting really has been dating Meng Junchen these past few days. Honestly, I think this might not be a bad thing. It could be a relief for you both."

Chen Xuan was taken aback, "I trust Jingting!"

In Chen Xuan’s impression, Han Jingting had always been a person of high self-discipline and a strong sense of responsibility.

She would never betray this marriage or their family on her own!

Moreover, Meng Junchen’s capabilities were far from qualifying him to enter Han Jingting’s heart.

Even he himself was not qualified enough!

Watching Chen Xuan’s retreating figure, Loh Anni’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

"You trust her now, but someday I will make you distrust her!"

Half an hour later, Han Jingting returned home, dragging her exhausted body.

She had been incredibly busy with work recently, often staying late into the night.

Despite the time, Han Jingting’s first stop was Xiao Yu’s room.

"Xiao Yu, did you have fun with Dad and Grandma over the weekend?"

Seeing her daughter, Han Jingting’s fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.

But today, Xiao Yu appeared to be unusually preoccupied.

"Dad went on a trip with friends these past couple of days, and I spent the weekend with Grandma."

"With friends? Went on a trip?"

The first person Han Jingting thought of was Zheng Qingxue.

Has he gone so far as to neglect his own daughter just to seek the company of other women?

"Mommy, are you and Daddy going to get a divorce?" Xiao Yu’s eyes welled up with tears.

Han Jingting was startled, "Why would you think that?"

"That’s what happens to other kids in my class. Their moms and dads find new friends and then they get divorced. Is that what’s happening with you right now? Waaa..."

Xiao Yu cried more and more fiercely as she spoke, tears streaming down in torrents.

The heart-wrenching sobs pained Han Jingting deeply.

"Don’t cry, Xiao Yu. Mommy promises, in this life, your daddy is the only friend she’ll have!"

"Really? What about Xiao Yu, then?"

"Of course, Xiao Yu is also Mommy’s friend! That way, Mommy now has two friends!"

Han Jingting hugged Xiao Yu tight, her own tears starting to flow.

Always so proud, Han Jingting now felt cornered by that man!
