Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 799: Chapter 797, Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy

Bai Jie had been cultivating at the Elixir Sect for many years, maintaining an exceptionally steadfast Daoist heart.

But tonight.

Her calm heart was stirred into ripples.

The appearance of Xu Wendong was like a pebble thrown into a tranquil lake, causing ripples that wouldn’t settle.

"Senior Sister Bai, please wait a moment."

Xu Wendong was a man of action; he immediately sprang into action, going down the mountain to catch a Spirit Chicken and a Spirit Rabbit. He skillfully cleaned them and returned to his dwelling.

After more than an hour of busy work, the Spirit Rabbit by the fire was roasted to a golden brown, sizzling with oil, and emitting a tempting aroma.

In addition, the Spirit Chicken in the hotpot was also cooked, bubbling and releasing a fragrant scent.

Not only that.

Xu Wendong even took out the Monkey Wine bestowed by his master, Wuming.

Seeing this, Bai Jie quickly said, "Junior Brother Xu, this Monkey Wine is too precious. Please put it back!"

Monkey Wine was the supreme celestial brew in the Nine Provinces, able to elevate one’s cultivation with just a single sip. To call it priceless would not be an exaggeration.

Xu Wendong was undeterred, saying, "As the saying goes, ’Life is short, so let us drink and sing.’ With these fine moments, good food, and a beautiful lady accompanying, even if this Monkey Wine is worth a fortune, it can’t compare to the honor of sharing a drink with Senior Sister Bai!"

A hint of blush appeared on Bai Jie’s face.

No help for it.

Xu Wendong was too adept at speaking, making her feel as if there were countless little ants crawling in her heart.

"Senior Sister Bai, come, try this hotpot chicken." Xu Wendong picked up his chopsticks and thoughtfully placed a chicken leg on her plate, saying, "The meat of this chicken leg is the most tender, and when paired with the spicy hotpot, it has a unique flavor."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Xu, but I can do it myself." Bai Jie felt a bit awkward because no strange man had ever helped her with food before.

Especially using his chopsticks.

And it was hotpot.

It immediately gave her the illusion of an indirect kiss.

She tasted the meat on the chicken leg, the spicy sensation quickly hitting her, making her cheeks flush and look as luscious as a fully ripe peach.

Coupled with her enchanting, peach blossom eyes, it made Xu Wendong utterly captivated.

No help for it.

It had been a long time since he had engaged in dual cultivation with a woman, and now he greatly desired to do that sort of thing.

"Junior Brother Xu, why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Jie felt Xu Wendong’s intense gaze and inexplicably felt a flurry of panic and nervousness.

Even though she had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Peak, Xu Wendong’s ability was far inferior to hers, but she just felt uneasy and afraid.

As if this man could devour her at any moment.

Xu Wendong chuckled and said, "It’s nothing, just feels like I’m dreaming."

Bai Jie asked suspiciously, "Dreaming?"

"Yes." Xu Wendong showed a guilty expression, "Because I’ve never seen a beauty as magnificent as a heavenly immortal like Senior Sister Bai in reality, let alone drink and sing together like this."

The blush on Bai Jie’s face deepened.

As a highly regarded senior sister at the Elixir Sect, Bai Jie had many admirers. noveldrama

Although many had hinted at their interest.

Some had even confessed in public.

But.

None had spoken words as simple and direct as Xu Wendong.

It made her feel particularly comfortable.

"Senior Sister Bai, may I ask which celestial genius your Daoist couple is?" Xu Wendong changed the subject, eyes full of curiosity.

Bai Jie smiled and said, "How do you know I have a Daoist couple?"

Xu Wendong replied as if it were obvious, "A woman as excellent as you is like the bright moon in the night sky, certainly surrounded by countless stars, how could you not have a Daoist couple?"

Bai Jie said, "I’m afraid to disappoint Junior Brother Xu, as I’m still single."

"What?" Xu Wendong was shocked, "A woman as stunning as a heavenly immortal, like Senior Sister Bai, is still single? What’s going on? Are the disciples of the Elixir Sect blind? Oh my, this is unbelievable!"

Xu Wendong’s reaction was exaggerated.

But the more exaggerated he was, the happier Bai Jie felt.

After all, who doesn’t have a bit of vanity?

She joked, "Is Junior Brother Xu blind?"

"Not blind." Xu Wendong’s heartbeat quickened; it seemed this woman had a favorable impression of him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked if he was blind.

He looked troubled, "But..."

Bai Jie couldn’t help but ask, "But what?"

Xu Wendong sighed lightly, "In my eyes, Senior Sister, you are like a fairy from Guanghan Palace who doesn’t partake of mortal smoke, while I am but a toad in the mud. Even if I’m not blind, I wouldn’t dare entertain untoward thoughts about Senior Sister!"

As a master of romance.

A complete scoundrel.

Xu Wendong seldom pursued women.

However.

He understood women’s hearts keenly.

Sometimes, facing such proud women, the more eager you appear, the more counterproductive the effect may be.

Rather than that, it’s better to employ the tactic of "playing hard to get."

Played well, how could he not win over the beautiful Senior Sister?

Bai Jie, unfazed, said, "Junior Brother, don’t belittle yourself. You are young and already at the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment, and can even create a Supreme Foundation Building Pill. If you’re a toad, then what are the disciples of the Elixir Sect?"

Xu Wendong forced a smile, "Oh, Senior Sister Bai, please don’t tease me. Just being able to drink with you in the bamboo forest is a blessing I must have earned in a previous life. I wouldn’t dare wish for too much."

"Come, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s finish this cup of Monkey Wine and toast our encounter!"

With that, he raised his cup, gently clinked it with hers, and then drank the Monkey Wine down in one go.

Though Bai Jie felt somewhat complex, she couldn’t understand why such an outstanding person as Xu Wendong was so self-deprecating in matters of the heart, not daring to entertain any improper thoughts.

It was really quite heart-wrenching.

Even so, she didn’t say much more, lifting her cup and drinking the Monkey Wine; as she raised her head, the sight of her graceful swan neck entranced Xu Wendong completely.

He longed to lean over and plant a kiss, leaving a hickey on her neck!

After the Monkey Wine went down, Bai Jie immediately felt a warm current spreading through her body, giving her the illusion of being in a hot spring, and even making her let out a delightful moan.

Seeing Xu Wendong’s astonished look, her heart sped up, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face; she hadn’t expected to embarrass herself in front of Xu Wendong.

"Senior Sister Bai, try this charcoal-grilled rabbit leg!" Xu Wendong tore off a golden rabbit leg for her.

"I find this to be even tastier than the hotpot chicken, and at least it’s not too spicy." Bai Jie made no effort to hide her fondness for the charcoal-grilled rabbit leg, eating with elegance and charm.

Not like Xia An’an, who would discard her ladylike image when encountering delicious food.

However.

Before finishing the rabbit leg, Bai Jie’s delicate body trembled suddenly, her gaze turning fiery, "I... I seem to be about to break through!"
