Chapter 4: The Divine Doctor Descends? Straight to Jail!
Shen Anyu, however, burst out laughing.
The next afternoon, while Shen Anyu was resting, Lin Keqing carefully left the suite.
Shen Anyu opened his eyes. There was not a hint of sleepiness in his dark pupils, only a terrifying, crystal-clear lucidity. He sat up, the silk sheets sliding off his chest, revealing a physique tempered to perfection.
"Two people. Go secretly protect Lin Keqing and monitor her every move."
As Shen Anyu's calm, indifferent voice faded into the luxurious silence of the room, the air rippled. Two female guards, clad in skintight black combat suits that outlined their lethal efficiency, materialized from the shadows. They nodded respectfully, their expressions void of emotion, and vanished like smoke to trail Lin Keqing.
These two female guards were elites cultivated by the Yanxia Shen Family's hidden reserves. Born and raised within the family's training camps, their loyalty was absolute, imprinted into their very souls.
Moreover, they possessed extraordinary strength. They had stepped into the [Innate Realm]. In the world of martial arts, they could fight lions and tigers with bare hands, tread on snow without leaving a trace, and slaughter a hundred ordinary men without breaking a sweat. To them, plucking a leaf to use as a lethal shuriken was child's play.
Such loyal and powerful female guards were priceless. In the outside world, even an annual salary of ten million Yuan might not be enough to hire a single warrior of this caliber. Yet, directly under Shen Anyu's command, ready to be dispatched at a whim, there was a full platoon of thirty such elites.
The leader of this unit was even a terrifying [Martial Arts Grandmaster]!
This was the hidden, crushing strength of a top-tier aristocratic family. It was a power that ordinary people could not even conceive of.
Shen Anyu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the sprawling skyline of Magic City. He swirled a glass of red wine, the crimson liquid reflecting the cold glint in his eyes.
"The time for Ye Yan to descend the mountain is not far off. Before that... the board must be set."
He narrowed his eyes. He truly loved his family in this life. The power, the luxury, the warmth—he was very satisfied with his daily life in this world. Therefore, no one—absolutely no one—would be allowed to destroy it.
If they tried, the only outcome was death.
He had already deployed operatives to constantly monitor the ruins of the Ye Family's old residence. Surveillance nets covered every inch of that area. That was the destined location where Ye Yan would make his first appearance after descending the mountain.
The moment Ye Yan stepped foot there, Shen Anyu would know. And the moment he knew, a net of inescapable doom would descend from all sides.
"Heh heh... Ye Yan. When the time comes, your expression will surely be quite spectacular."
Shen Anyu chuckled, a low, magnetic sound.
That perverted, self-torturing cultivation maniac had spent five years eating bitterness, day and night anticipating his revenge, anticipating the moment he would see his beautiful sister-in-law, Lin Keqing.
But what if he found out the truth?
Over the past two days and nights, Lin Keqing had provided Shen Anyu with over [200,000 Destiny Points] in total.
A massive profit. She truly was his treasure girl. Her favorability had risen from below zero to a staggering seventy-six.
"If Ye Yan knew that the beautiful sister-in-law Lin Keqing, whom he had been longing for and caring about, had already become the enemy's woman—body and soul—and brought that enemy so many rewards... how utterly devastated would he be?"
Shen Anyu was filled with a dark, sadistic anticipation.
However, he wasn't in a rush to draw prizes just yet. He still had tens of thousands of Destiny Points on hand. He planned to save up for a hundred consecutive draws when he reached a hundred thousand to maximize his gains.
Shen Anyu's eyes flickered with a calculating light. He calmed his thoughts and commanded the interface in his mind.
"System, use a [Destined Child Positioning Card]!"
[Ding! Destined Child Positioning Card activated. Searching for Child of Destiny... currently searching... please wait...]
[Ding! One Child of Destiny has been located within Magic City limits. Do you wish to display detailed information?]
"Display!" Shen Anyu commanded, sipping his wine.
[Name: Xia Liu]
[Age: 22]
[Background: Child of Destiny from "The Lewd Country Divine Doctor in the Happy City". He possesses a childhood engagement with Qin Ningbing, the beautiful CEO of Magic City Renxin Hall Pharmaceutical Company.]

[Destiny Value: 2,000,000]
Shen Anyu read the panel, his lips curling into a disdainful sneer.
"The 'Lewd Country Divine Doctor' trope? Heh heh..."
He rubbed his chin, a playful, predatory look flashing in his eyes.
"Very well. I'll play along with you!"
Meanwhile, in the bustling commercial district of Magic City.
The contrast was jarring. Surrounded by elites in suits and fashionable women in designer clothes, a young man walked with a swagger that defied his appearance. He wore black cloth shoes, tattered pants that ended above the ankle, a stained white tank top, and a straw hat. He looked like a searchlight in the night—impossible to ignore, but for all the wrong reasons.
The surrounding crowd gave him a wide berth, pointing fingers and covering their noses.
But this young man, Xia Liu, didn't care in the slightest. He looked around with wide, greedy eyes.
"This is Magic City! A big city! So, so, so prosperous..."
Just then, his eyes bulged, and he audibly swallowed, drool threatening to spill from the corner of his mouth.
In front of him walked a beautiful young woman in a tight, hip-hugging skirt, her hips swaying gracefully with every click of her high heels.
This sight was not uncommon on the bustling streets of a modern metropolis; the surrounding crowd regarded it as normal fashion.
But for Xia Liu, who had just come down from a remote, twenty-eighth-tier small mountain village, it was an irresistible, blood-pumping temptation.
"Damn it! Women in big cities are just so open! Even the pretty widows in the village can't compare! If my future woman dresses like this, I'll beat her till she's..."
Xia Liu wiped a streak of blood from his nose and swallowed his saliva loudly, criticizing her virtue while his eyes were practically glued to her curves, staring intently as if trying to see through the fabric.
At this moment.
A young woman passing by noticed his disgusting behavior. She looked at him with undisguised revulsion, as if looking at a piece of rotting trash.
"You're too wretched and lewd, aren't you? Is that how you look at girls?"
Xia Liu raised an eyebrow. He turned his gaze to the speaker and smiled, revealing a set of teeth that seemed too bright for his face.
"Beautiful lady, how did you know my name is Xia Liu? Xia as in 'Summer', Liu as in 'Flow'!"
As he made the pun on his name (which sounded like 'Lowlife'), Xia Liu's eyes lit up. He scanned the woman in front of him from top to bottom.
This young woman had exquisite features, carved like jade. She possessed a cold, elegant demeanor, like the moon hanging in a winter sky—distant and unattainable.
Her figure was tall and model-esque. Her long legs, wrapped in tight blue jeans, were graceful and slender, looking at least 1.2 meters long.
Especially that look in her eyes—that look of utter disdain, as if she were looking at trash—it strangely excited Xia Liu.
Unfortunately, she was wearing a loose designer jacket, so the specific details of her upper body were unclear.
However, even without any exposure, she was still immeasurably more beautiful than the sexy woman in the hip-hugging skirt just now. The difference was like a pheasant compared to a phoenix.
Xia Liu made up his mind instantly. He must win over this young woman to be his wife!
"Shameless!"
Noticing Xia Liu's lewd gaze stripping her down, the young woman was furious. She swung the luxury handbag worth tens of thousands of Yuan directly at his face.
However, Xia Liu was a cultivator. He quickly stepped back a few paces, dodging the bag effortlessly, and chuckled.
"Beautiful lady, you're sick!"
"You..."
Hearing this, the young woman—Su Hongmian—was utterly enraged!
Her family background was top-tier in Magic City, and she herself was the celebrated campus belle at the university. Although her father passed away early, her mother, a powerful businesswomen, doted on her immensely. Her classmates tried their best to curry favor with her. This upbringing had cultivated a significant "Princess Syndrome" in her. Her temper was notoriously fiery.
As a result, this wretched, lewd beggar actually dared to curse her?
Su Hongmian was furious, her chest heaving!
Xia Liu looked at Su Hongmian, whose pretty face was flushed with anger, making her look even more charming. He grinned, showing confidence.
"Beautiful lady, do you often suffer from insomnia? Do you frequently experience heart palpitations? And is it especially uncomfortable on hot days, feeling like a fire is burning in your chest..."
Listening to Xia Liu's words, Su Hongmian's anger paused, gradually replaced by a look of astonishment.
He had guessed it perfectly!
Xia Liu saw her reaction and smugly winked at Su Hongmian, speaking flippantly.
"I am a Divine Doctor! As long as you ask me, I can help you with treatment. It will be resolved very quickly! Maybe I'll even give you a discount if you treat me to dinner."
Su Hongmian recovered from her shock. She crossed her arms, looking at Xia Liu haughtily.
"I can have my mother take me to the best hospital in the country for treatment. Do I need treatment from a wretched and lewd guy like you?"
She would not accept treatment from this guy; just thinking about his dirty hands touching her made her feel disgusted.
Xia Liu raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
"Then go ahead. I guarantee they won't be able to cure you! Only my needle technique can fix your problem."
Su Hongmian sneered, not believing Xia Liu's judgment at all. She turned to leave.
"Help! Someone save my husband!"
Just then, a desperate cry for help came from ahead.
A middle-aged man had fallen to the ground, twitching violently. Foam was frothing at his mouth, his eyes rolled back—he was seemingly having a severe epileptic seizure.
A middle-aged woman nearby was frantic, weeping anxiously and helplessly calling for help from the surrounding crowd.
Xia Liu's eyes lit up. This was his chance to show off! He proudly said to Su Hongmian:
"Beautiful lady, don't blink. Just watch my skill!"
As his voice fell, Xia Liu moved. He appeared beside the middle-aged man in a few steps, moving faster than an ordinary human. He squatted down, and several silver needles appeared in his hand at some unknown point.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Like lightning, the needles pierced into the middle-aged man's acupoints.
Xia Liu's lips curved into a confident smile. He flicked the needles, infusing them with a trace of Qi.
In just a dozen minutes, the twitching stopped. The middle-aged man let out a long breath and recovered. His complexion turned rosy, and he opened his eyes, confused but alive.
"He's awake! He's really awake!"
The expressions of the surrounding crowd looking at Xia Liu changed instantly.
"Although this guy looks wretched and lewd, he has real skill!"
"A miracle doctor!"
The middle-aged couple thanked him profusely, bowing and offering money, which Xia Liu waved off with feigned humbleness, all while glancing back at Su Hongmian.
Even Su Hongmian seemed to be re-evaluating Xia Liu. Her cold eyes softened slightly, curiosity piqued by his undeniable skill.
Xia Liu was even more smug. His face beamed with smiles, shaking his head and flashing his pearly whites at Su Hongmian, ready to step forward and ask for her number.
Wee-woo! Wee-woo!
However, just then, several police cars screeched to a halt. A squad of police officers rushed out, surrounding Xia Liu instantly.
"Freeze!"
"Someone reported you for practicing medicine illegally without a license and public indecency! Please come with us!"
Xia Liu's smile froze on his face.
"What?"
Before he could explain, the cold handcuffs clicked onto his wrists.
