Chapter 756: The Crown Prince Becomes Her Follower (6,000 Words Update)

The surgery was a complete success. City Lord Jin immediately stood up from his chair and quickly went to wait outside the operating room for Xu Xingguang.

Soon, Xu Xingguang came out.

She extended her arms, and the assistant beside her quickly helped her remove the surgical gown, hat, glasses, and gloves.

Xu Xingguang bent over at the sink to wash her hands. City Lord Jin quickly approached her and first asked if she was tired. After receiving an “I’m okay,” he inquired about Jin Nuo’an’s condition.

Xu Xingguang understood the worry of a father for his child.

She dried her hands with a soft towel, patiently explaining a few words to him. “The parasites in Young Master Jin’s body have been successfully extracted, and painkillers can now be used. Once he wakes up, with proper care and a few months of recuperation, he should be about 70-80% recovered.”

“Try to use fresh ingredients instead of nutrients; it will help him recover better.” She knew City Lord Jin had the capability, which is why she made this suggestion.

As expected, City Lord Jin didn’t seem troubled by Xu Xingguang’s instructions. He even asked attentively, “Then, Doctor Xu, what ingredients should I prepare for Nu’an? Please tell me a few, so I can prepare them.”

For City Lord Jin and his people, fresh ingredients were also valuable and not something he could get as he wished.

Some precious ingredients could only be imported from the Divine Hidden Alliance.

Xu Xingguang mentioned a few items that could be bought on the market, and City Lord Jin carefully noted them down before saying, “Doctor Xu, you’ve worked hard on the surgery. Are you hungry?”

“Last night, I had someone bring in a deer from the Kenda Mountain Range, and a venison feast is prepared. If you don’t mind, I’ll take you to try it now.”

City Lord Jin was a generous man, well-versed in hospitality. He had his butler find a way to get a fawn, preparing a venison feast to entertain Xu Xingguang and all the doctors who came to the City Lord Mansion to observe the surgery.

Before Xu Xingguang could speak, Elder Tan Nan said, “Go try it. You’ve been in the Divine Martial Realm for so long and haven’t had fresh meat yet; don’t waste it.” Elder Tan Nan was very concerned about Xu Xingguang.

Originally in the Mortal World, one could eat whatever they wanted. Coming to this resource-scarce Divine Martial Realm was truly unfortunate, experiencing hardships and suffering.

“Alright then.”

The City Lord Mansion was equipped with a spacious banquet hall, used only during major festivals.

Xu Xingguang and Elder Tan Nan were arranged to sit on City Lord Jin’s right, while the dean and several doctors who assisted with the surgery sat on the left. The doctors who came from afar to watch the excitement sat as they pleased.

The venison was already prepared, and Xu Xingguang received the best cut of the deer leg and the most tender piece of tenderloin, similar to what Elder Tan Nan got.

Others were unaware of the true situation in the Mortal World, but City Lord Jin knew well.

The Mortal World was abundant in food resources, and given Xu Xingguang’s status and strength, she likely held a significant position there, living a life of ease.

City Lord Jin didn’t dare flaunt wealth in front of Xu Xingguang. He humbly and politely poured some fruit wine for Xu Xingguang and told her, “This fruit wine was brewed by my wife while she was still alive, and I rarely drink it. Doctor Xu, Elder Tan Nan, would you like to try it?”

Elder Tan Nan told Xu Xingguang, “Mrs. Jin was also a brewer; her wine is quite good.”

Xu Xingguang took a sip and said, “It’s cherry fruit wine.”

“Yes,” City Lord Jin said. “In the Divine Martial Realm, food is scarce, but we do have some fruits, though they are expensive, affordable only to super power users.”

For commoners, fruits are also a luxury.

Dongfang Yi could eat fruits every day, all thanks to his father’s business acumen, who spared nothing for his child.

“Fruit wine with roasted meat can cut the richness. I hope it suits Doctor Xu’s taste.”

“The taste is quite good.” Xu Xingguang didn’t particularly like venison, so she gave the most tender piece of tenderloin to Elder Tan Nan and only ate the leg meat herself.

Just as she set down her utensils, she noticed a gaze repeatedly scanning her.

She was the center of attention, but it was rare to be scrutinized so persistently.

Xu Xingguang looked up, alert and sharp, toward her front left, locking eyes with a blond man in a suit.

The man had a burly stature, slightly flushed cheeks, and remarkably large ears.

Seeing Xu Xingguang noticing him, the man calmly raised his glass and toasted her from a distance.

Xu Xingguang hesitated for a moment but then raised her glass to toast him from afar too, though she didn’t drink.
