Medical and Martial God

Stephanie, clad in a bikini, was lounging carefree on a deck chair by the pool while a handsome, fair-skinned young man massaged her.

I bet Ye Xiu has already left Biluo Island in a rage. It’s a pity he doesn’t know he can’t enter King Island, nor does he know where the three Great Judicator Families are. He can only go to the islands inhabited by the third-rank population, Stephanie thought with an air of profound wisdom.

”There are three islands inhabited by the third-rank population. Which one will Ye Xiu go to?” the young man asked.

”I don’t know!” Stephanie shrugged. ”Send word to the Island Masters of the three islands. Tell them to report immediately if they spot any strangers.”

The words had barely left her lips when she suddenly sensed something and whipped her head to the right. In the next instant, a Thousand Paper Cranes flew toward her at lightning speed. It was so fast that the naked eye could hardly track its trajectory.

”Oh? Ye Xiu actually sent me a reply.”

Stephanie caught the paper crane and cheerfully unfolded it. However, the moment she saw the content of Ye Xiu’s reply, her smiling face froze as if struck by lightning.

The message read:

”A pound of Golden Blood a day keeps the aches and pains away. My back doesn’t hurt, my legs aren’t sore, and I can carry a two-hundred-pound sack up five floors without even flushing or losing my breath. Infuriating, isn’t it?”

This short sentence was ten, a hundred, even a thousand times more devastating than the thousand-word letter Stephanie had written to Ye Xiu.

The message struck Stephanie like a bolt from the blue. Her head buzzed, her mind went blank from a lack of oxygen, and her body swayed for a moment before she collapsed onto the lounge chair.

Then she shot back up, roaring with fury and madness, ”Ye Xiu, I’m going to kill you! Kill you!”

Seeing Stephanie fly into such a rage, the young man’s ’delicate frame’ trembled with fright. He cautiously picked up the letter that had fallen from her hand. After reading it, he tried to comfort her with a laugh.

”My dear, don’t be angry. Ye Xiu is just trying to provoke you. Even if he enjoys living like a savage, the Princess can’t possibly have enough blood to give him a pound every day.”

”You know nothing!”

Stephanie shattered the young man’s head with a single palm strike and roared, ”Kristina possesses the Life Totem! Her self-healing ability is incredibly strong; she can absolutely supply Ye Xiu with a pound of blood every day!”

The thought of her daughter supplying Ye Xiu with a pound of Golden Blood every day, like some milkman on his morning route, drove Stephanie to furiously attack everything in sight. She laid waste to the backyard, leaving it in utter chaos.

After venting for a while, she noticed the butler had appeared nearby at some point and asked, ”What is it?”

Her voice was low, her expression savage.

The butler hesitated. Although she didn’t know what had happened, she could see Stephanie’s current state and knew she couldn’t handle any more shocks.

”Speak. Nothing else could possibly worsen my mood right now,” Stephanie said grimly. She meant that no news could possibly be more serious than her daughter being drained of a pound of blood every day.

The butler hesitated for another moment before finally reporting, ”Aside from Drunken Fairy Island and Dream Island, formations have been placed around all the islands inhabited by the lower-ranked populace. People can’t get out, and no one can get in.”

The islands she spoke of did not include Biluo Island or Seven-Star Island, as those two no longer housed anyone from the three Great Judicator Families or the Eternal Kingdom.

”What?” Stephanie was so shocked, she went cold all over. ”Doesn’t that mean our food supply has been cut off?”

”It’s not just the food,” the butler said faintly.

Stephanie’s expression grew even grimmer. This matter was far more dire than her daughter being bled for a pound of blood every day.

”Notify all core members of the three Great Judicator Families and convene an emergency meeting immediately!”

After a long silence, Stephanie added in a low voice, ”Additionally, inform the Silver Cloth Assassins raiding Biluo Island. They are to exterminate everyone on the island and bring Ye Xiu and Kristina back unharmed.”

The butler nodded. ”As you command!”

...

That evening, Ye Xiu paced back and forth in the yard, his anxiety written all over his face. Qin Qing, Leng Yue, Chloe, Mo Luo, and Jiaojiao stood by silently.
