Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 159 - 159 157 Return to Cloud City_1

159: Chapter 157 Return to Cloud City_1 159: Chapter 157 Return to Cloud City_1 Lu Chuan hurriedly helped Zhang Baili up and said, “Miracle Doctor Zhang, you really flatter me too much.”

Zhang Baili’s face was earnest as he said, “Young man, please don’t call me a divine doctor anymore.

In front of you, I really can’t bear that title.

You are the true divine doctor!”

“When I said I wanted to take you as my teacher, I wasn’t playing around.

I truly wish to become your disciple, so please accept me as your apprentice.”

Lu Chuan’s face showed helplessness as he replied, “Miracle Doctor Zhang, I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t take you as my disciple.”

Seeing Lu Chuan’s resolute attitude, Zhang Baili’s face filled with disappointment as he asked, “Even if you don’t take me as an apprentice, could you at least teach me how you healed his necrotic arm?”

Lu Chuan said, “Miracle Doctor Zhang, to be honest, even if I taught you, you wouldn’t be able to learn it, so please stop troubling me.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to teach, but to achieve what he had done, one must be a cultivator, utilizing spiritual energy to restore a severed arm to normal.

Relying solely on the medical skills of ordinary people, no matter how hard they tried, would not be able to accomplish this.

Zhang Baili thought Lu Chuan just didn’t want to teach him and kept shaking his head, sighing.

Lu Chuan said, “Miracle Doctor Zhang, our meeting is fated.

We can exchange contact details.

If you have any questions about medical skills, feel free to call me for a discussion.”

Zhang Baili’s eyes lit up, and he hastily said, “Yes, yes, being able to discuss medical skills with you is also an honor for these old bones of mine.”

It wasn’t long before Su Ming washed off the medicinal paste from his arm.

Lu Chuan quickly said goodbye to Zhang Baili and the owner and left the medicinal herb market with Su Ming.

The two then went to a hotel.

Upon seeing Su Ming safe and sound, Mu Nanqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Chuan was filled with emotion.

He had originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to find Mu Nanqing and Su Ming, but it was an unexpected coincidence that had brought them back together.

Smiling, Su Ming glanced at Lu Chuan and Mu Nanqing and said, “This shows that Big Brother and sister-in-law have a telepathic connection.

Even if you were forced to separate, you would reunite at the right time.”

Lu Chuan immediately glared at him and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?

Do I need to treat your mouth too?”

Mu Nanqing, however, blushed slightly and smiled very happily.

Quickly taking cover behind Mu Nanqing, Su Ming said, “Sister-in-law, I think I’m right, you have to protect me.”

Mu Nanqing waved her hand and said, “Alright, stop the teasing, you two.”

Lu Chuan gave Su Ming a stern look before asking, “Did you take out the hundred-year medicinal herb before I left?”

Hearing this, Su Ming immediately realized what Lu Chuan meant and quickly said, “I’ve hidden it in a very safe place.”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Go get it.

I promised to help you break through, and I won’t go back on my word.”

“Besides, my next plan is to return to Cloud City and take revenge on the father and son duo, Long Tianya and Long Hao.

If you make a breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm, you will be able to protect sister-in-law even better.”

Su Ming nodded earnestly, “I’ll go get it right away.”

In the following days, Lu Chuan and the two briefly settled down in Spring Water City.

Lu Chuan used the hundred-year medicinal herb to refine an elixir pill for Su Ming, who successfully broke through to the Transcendent Realm with the help of the pill.

As a reward for Su Ming risking his life to protect Mu Nanqing, Lu Chuan taught him several profound martial arts skills from the Cultivation World.

With his natural talent and the skills taught by Lu Chuan, Su Ming’s strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person in the Transcendent Realm.

Even though he had just broken through to the Transcendent Realm, facing a master at Transcendent Realm Level 2, he was still able to put up a fight.

Only after seeing the martial arts skills taught by Lu Chuan did Su Ming realize how inscrutable Lu Chuan was.

He originally thought that by breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, he could narrow the gap between him and Lu Chuan.

However, the stronger he became, the more aware he was of Lu Chuan’s terrifying strength.

This made him grateful for his initial choice, feeling that following Lu Chuan was the most correct decision he had made in his life.

A week later.

Lu Chuan and the party boarded a plane to Cloud City.

Looking through the airplane window, Lu Chuan saw the thick clouds and the endless sky in the distance.

His eyes flashed with a few streaks of sharpness.

On his return, he was determined to avenge his past humiliation and crush Long Hao beneath his feet!

He also had to kill Long Tianya, fulfilling the promise he had made to Gu Hongzhuang.

Of course, before all this, he had to force out the reason from Long Tianya’s mouth why he wanted to kill his own mother.

Meanwhile.

In Cloud City, at the Chu family residence.

Chu Mengyao sat in front of her vanity, her makeup delicate, but her brows were filled with worry.

Behind her on a clothes rack hung a wedding dress and a bridal costume.

These had been sent over by Long Hao.

Tomorrow was to be her wedding day to Long Hao.

The Long family had already sent out a wide array of invitations, calling upon many relatives and friends; the entire Cloud City was buzzing about the wedding.

Chu Mengyao was naturally extremely unwilling, but due to the power and influence of the Long family, she had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, Long Hao had been struck by lightning inflicted by Lu Chuan on the steamer, resulting in serious injuries, and had only recently recovered.

He had no energy to bother her, allowing her some peace during this period.

Yet, although her life was peaceful, her heart could never find stillness.

Someone knocked on the door at that moment.

“Come in,” said Chu Mengyao indifferently.

The person entering was Secretary Zhang.

Upon seeing Secretary Zhang, Chu Mengyao hurriedly stood up, walked over to her, and asked anxiously, “How is it?

Any news?”

Secretary Zhang shook her head and said, “Mr.

Chu, Lu Chuan has been missing for such a long time.

If he were truly alive, we should have heard something by now.

We have been searching for so long without any clues; I’m afraid Lu Chuan may already have…”

Chu Mengyao’s face turned cold as she interrupted sternly, “Shut your mouth!”

Seeing Chu Mengyao’s demeanor, Secretary Zhang had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

“If he’s still alive, to avoid the Long family’s pursuit, it’s normal that he would go into hiding and leave no trace,” Chu Mengyao tried to convince herself.

Secretary Zhang said, “Mr.

Chu, why do you torment yourself like this?

You’re about to marry into the Long family.

Lu Chuan has become a thing of the past.

Whether he’s dead or alive, it has nothing to do with you anymore.”

Chu Mengyao wanted to argue but felt the surge of emotions and her eyes quickly moistened.

She sat back down, placed her hand on her forehead, and struggled to control herself, to keep the tears from falling and ruining the makeup on her face.

All this time, she had been living in torment, and the belief that kept her struggling to survive was the conviction that Lu Chuan was still alive.

If Lu Chuan were truly dead, she didn’t know what the meaning in living was anymore.

“You may leave now, I want to be alone for a while,” Chu Mengyao spoke.

Secretary Zhang hesitated, but in the end, she just sighed and left the room.

Chu Mengyao took a deep breath, calming her emotions.

She looked at herself in the mirror for a while and then took out a delicate dagger from the drawer of her vanity.

She tried to hide the dagger in her sleeve; it was neither too large nor too small, just the right fit.

She practiced several times how to quickly draw the dagger from her sleeve and then made stabbing motions toward her own neck.

Soon, Zhao Haitang’s voice called out, “Yaoyao, come out and try on the shoes.”

“I know,” replied Chu Mengyao as she tucked away the dagger and took one more look at herself in the mirror, her gaze filled with an added measure of determination.
