Chapter 786 - 300: Xingguang Slaughters Again_4

This damned Divine Martial Realm!

Xu Xingguang pressed the cigarette butt into the potted plant and cursed under her breath, "Damn it."

She ran her fingers through the hair on her forehead, casually brushing it back, her face shrouded with a brutal determination to upend this world, and turned to walk out of the hotel.

Seeing this, the young man worriedly called out, "Miss, please don’t go near the main road!"

Not reassured, he chased after her, only to find that Xu Xingguang had already disappeared.

*

Between Chuangu District and Cold Water District lies a three-lane asphalt road, with a barrier in the middle and a tall black high-voltage electric isolation net rising beside it.

Every ten meters, a burly person squats on guard there.

Chuangu District is quiet to a frightening degree, while the Cold Water District is filled with chaotic, arrogant whistling, provocative cursing, and the sounds of fighting and arguing.

Xu Xingguang stood on the sidewalk on the Chuangu District side of the road, gazing across at Cold Water District.

She stared at those ruffian-like thugs playing with guns and shooting at the sky, the starlight in her eyes flickering on and off.

The next day, Xu Xingguang returned from her morning exercise to find Ying Ziyao anxiously standing at her door. "Uncle Ying, what’s wrong?"

Seeing her return safely, Ying Ziyao’s tense, worried expression finally relaxed. "Xingguang, I called you but you didn’t answer, and knocked but you didn’t open the door. I thought something happened to you! Did you know?"

Ying Ziyao followed Xu Xingguang into her room, frowned, and told her, "This morning, someone found a body hanging from the tip of the Medicine King Honor Tower!"

Xu Xingguang stood in the bathroom, wiping her face with a towel, and asked calmly, "Who died?"

"They say it was the boss of Cold Water District, a thug who could manipulate fire elements. Today Cold Water District is in complete chaos; I’ll accompany you wherever you go these days, otherwise, I won’t feel at ease."

Without a new boss, Cold Water District has completely lost order and is bound to fall into chaos.

And how could the adjacent Chuangu District remain peaceful?

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang showed no obvious reaction.

Seeing Xu Xingguang remaining silent, Ying Ziyao puzzledly walked to the bathroom door to look at her. "Why aren’t you speaking?"

Holding a towel, Xu Xingguang said somewhat helplessly, "I need to take a shower."

Ying Ziyao awkwardly left immediately.

Half an hour later, Xu Xingguang, along with Ying Ziyao, came downstairs and bought two nutrients at the front desk.

The young man at the front desk was also about to hand over his shift. Seeing Xu Xingguang going out, he reminded her, "Miss, something happened in Cold Water District; please don’t wander around tonight."

"Mm."

Xu Xingguang bit into the nutrient as she left the hotel, and Ying Ziyao caught up with her, frowning and asking, "Did you go out last night?"

"Mm."

"Where did you go?"

Sipping on the nutrient, Xu Xingguang replied, "Cold Water District."

Ying Ziyao’s face changed dramatically in fear, "What were you doing in Cold Water District? Even if you’re capable, that place is full of thugs; if something happened to you, what would I do, how would I explain it to the Pilot?"

The more Ying Ziyao spoke, the more anxious he became, and the more frightened he seemed. "You can’t run around tonight!"

"No can do." Xu Xingguang rolled up the empty nutrient pack into a sushi shape and said to Ying Ziyao with her chin lifted, "I still need to go to Cold Water District tonight."

Ying Ziyao was stunned.

After a brief pause, he asked with a poor expression, "What are you going to do in Cold Water District?"

Xu Xingguang said, "To slaughter pigs."

Slaughter pigs?

Once Ying Ziyao understood what ’pigs’ she was referring to, he nearly lost his mind.

He looked around before lowering his voice and asking Xu Xingguang in Divine Xia language, "Was the boss of Cold Water District your doing?"

Xu Xingguang did not deny it.

That confirmed it.

Ying Ziyao’s eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed, "Killing the boss of Cold Water District wasn’t enough for you, who else do you plan to kill?"

Xu Xingguang thought for a moment and candidly replied, "I don’t know, we’ll see, any disobedient pigs will be dealt with."

"..."

Ying Ziyao was dazed for a long while before calming down.

After a moment of calm thought, he guessed Xu Xingguang’s motive. "You intend to clean up Cold Water District, become its new boss, and establish a new order?"

Xu Xingguang did not deny it.

Knowing he guessed correctly, Ying Ziyao hurried to report this to Huo Wen’an, hoping Huo Wen’an could persuade Xu Xingguang to proceed with caution and avoid dangerous actions.

But after Huo Wen’an heard this, he replied: [Ask her what she needs, and she should tell me without hesitation.]

Ying Ziyao: "They’re all lunatics."

Regardless of how crestfallen Ying Ziyao was, Xu Xingguang planned to visit a Medicine Hall to rate the Poisonous Widow.

There are 5 Medicine Halls in Medicine King City that offer rating services. Each is recognized by the Hundred Medicines Conference, and any herbs rated by any of these halls receive acknowledgment.

There is no Medicine Hall in Chuangu District, and the closest one is Wanxiang Medicine Hall in Purple Garden District, located next to Wanxiang Medical College.

Xu Xingguang took a bus to Purple Garden District, which passes by Cold Water District but avoids the inner city by running along the road by the moat outside Cold Water District.

Today, Cold Water District was especially turbulent, with rampant vandalism on the streets. The passengers on the bus looked on in fear, too scared to speak. They all knew that Cold Water District would be in chaos until a new leader emerged.

It’s possible the bus service might even be suspended for a while.

They got off at Academy Road Station in Wanxiang District.

Opposite the bus stop is Wanxiang Medical College, well-known in the medical world, yet it doesn’t even have a decent front gate.

It’s situated in a narrow alleyway!

At the alley’s exit stands a sign, smaller than the bus stop sign, with the words Wanxiang Medical College written on it.

Xu Xingguang and Ying Ziyao silently gazed at the sign, a bit flustered. Ying Ziyao muttered, "Could it be that Wanxiang Medical College doesn’t even have a teaching building?"

It’s not entirely implausible.

"Let’s go to the Medicine Hall."

Wanxiang Medicine Hall is just 200 meters further down the alley. This standalone Medicine Hall is nine stories high, with a symmetrical construction resembling the character for ’Emperor’.

It’s the tallest building in Purple Garden District. If the Medicine Hall is the Empress, then the secluded Wanxiang Medical College is the laundry maid of the imperial washhouse.

In the Medicine Hall’s first-floor lobby, U-shaped office desks were set up, with staff in Medicine Hall uniforms attending to customers.

The moment Xu Xingguang walked into the lobby, she attracted the attention of both staff and customers.

They were still in awe of her exceptional beauty when Xu Xingguang approached workstation number 1, presented her ID badge, and said to the staff, "Hello, I’m Xu Xingguang, the manager of Field 18, Cattle Hump, Wuyuan Town. Our first batch of herbs is ready, and we need the Medicine Hall for rating."

Upon hearing this, the Medicine Hall instantly fell silent.

The manager of Field 18 at Cattle Hump, does that mean she’s Elder Tan Nan’s student?

The young doctor from the Mortal World?
