Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 681 - 675: Deciding Life and Death (6 updates)

Next up.

The two of them began to dance.

But the Seventh Princess was somewhat nervous, and Su Chen wasn’t very good at dancing.

So, compared to the dance between Su Chen and Qin Li, it was somewhat lacking.

Even, from time to time, there would be mistakes.

But no one laughed.

What they had was endless envy.

The Seventh Princess!

That was the Seventh Princess, after all!

There she was, embraced by Su Chen, so intimately!

It made people envious to the core.

Jian Yi’s eyes grew colder, his gaze upon Su Chen was filled with chilling intent to kill.

"You, must die!" Jian Yi murmured to himself. He practiced the way of the sword and revered his innermost feelings. Now, in his heart, there was only killing intent towards Su Chen, nothing else.

Soon.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.

The song ended.

But, Su Chen was still holding the Seventh Princess.

Why? Because the Seventh Princess was so soft and frail that if he were to loosen his grip, she would surely fall to the ground.

The Seventh Princess was both nervous and shy, her emotions fluctuating too greatly; she hadn’t yet recovered.

"Thank you," the Seventh Princess said shyly.

"It’s nothing!" Su Chen replied with a smile. Holding the Seventh Princess like this, he was clearly the one reaping the benefits, wasn’t he?

"Su Chen, later, don’t... don’t call me Seventh Princess."

"I know, you’ve said before, to call you Chu Xuan," Su Chen nodded. He had called her Seventh Princess at tonight’s banquet as it was a formal occasion, where one shouldn’t casually use her personal name.

"In the future... you should call me..." The Seventh Princess’s voice trembled even more, and she paused.

"Call you what?"

"Call me Xuan’er," said the Seventh Princess, her beautiful face turning as red as the glow of a sunset. She had indeed been moved; there was no point in denying it. In her twenty years of life, it was the first time she had felt her heart stir, the first time she had tasted that shy sweetness. She didn’t know how to describe the feeling, but she knew she liked it very much.

Su Chen’s expression paused, somewhat surprised. The Seventh Princess’s words were essentially a true confession.

There was no second interpretation.

"You’re unwilling?" Seeing Su Chen’s silence, the Seventh Princess’s eyes suddenly misted over, her heart filled with grievance and pain.

"It’s not that I’m unwilling, uh, it’s more like I’m overwhelmed by the favor," Su Chen hugged the Seventh Princess even tighter.

The Seventh Princess broke into a tearful smile, clinging tightly to Su Chen, feeling as if she wanted to maintain this embrace forever.

"Ahem ahem!" On the main stage, from the master seat, the Xuanfeng Emperor’s face looked somewhat displeased. Su Chen and the Seventh Princess were being so affectionate, and importantly, in full view of so many people, he coughed.

In addition, the Xuanfeng Emperor harbored some other thoughts at the bottom of his heart. Originally, he had plans for the future of the Seventh Princess, but now...

It seems that everything is unknown!

"Emperor, if Xuan’er insists on being with Su Chen, what will you do?" Consort Yun suddenly asked.

"If Su Chen can meet the minimum standard in my heart, then I agree," the Xuanfeng Emperor took a deep breath and said with a grave voice. He loved the Seventh Princess from the bottom of his heart, but it was not a blind love.

"The lowest standard?" Consort Yun chuckled and shook her head, "You mean the ones who will soon enter Tianhe Hall to celebrate Xuan’er’s birthday..."

"Yes!" The Xuanfeng Emperor nodded firmly, "As long as Su Chen is not inferior to them, it will be acceptable."

"Emperor, Su Chen is only twenty-three years old," Consort Yun reminded him.

"He is indeed young, which makes it incredibly difficult for him, almost like ascending to heaven, but how can he marry our daughter without ascending to heaven? Ascending to heaven is already the lowest standard I have set in my heart."

Consort Yun said nothing more.

"Alright, that’s the end of the dance. No one else should dance!" In the next moment, the Xuanfeng Emperor suddenly said, "All of you are Martial Cultivators, and moreover, you are the top-level monsters of the Xuanfeng Dynasty. It’s rare for you to gather together. If you don’t exchange and learn from each other, it would be a wasted opportunity."

The Xuanfeng Emperor could not wait any longer.

Or perhaps he could no longer wait to see Su Chen’s strength?

"Brother Su, be careful," the Seventh Princess whispered in the same second, "You must win! Win the approval of my Imperial Father!"

"What’s the benefit if I win?" Su Chen asked teasingly.

"You... hmph..." The Seventh Princess bit her lip and gave Su Chen a glare, "If you win over my... my father’s approval, I... I might kiss you."

The Seventh Princess finished speaking and was already too embarrassed to bear it. She wriggled out of Su Chen’s arms and walked toward the main stage, visibly flushed with a beautiful radiance of red, bashful and sweet on her gorgeous face.

It was at that second.

"Su Chen!!! Now that the emperor has spoken, let’s fight, you and I!" Jian Yi could hardly wait a second longer. He stood up and looked at Su Chen with an impassive face and a cold voice.

Without giving Su Chen a chance to speak, Jian Yi continued, "The first battle, then, should be a thrilling start. We shall fight to the death. Do you dare?!"

A fight to the death?!

Jian Yi’s voice spread throughout the entire hall.

Many Martial Cultivators’ faces rapidly changed, becoming serious and solemn.

"Imperial Father!" The Seventh Princess, who had just taken her seat, hurriedly looked to the Xuanfeng Emperor, "It’s your daughter’s birthday today, I don’t want any loss of life."

The Seventh Princess was somewhat anxious. Although she believed in Su Chen and his ability to continually create miracles, what if?

Once a fight to the death was decided, it had to end with someone’s death. Even if Su Chen was in danger, she couldn’t ask Elder Huo to interfere. That would be against the rules.

"On the Divine Martial Continent, life is never just a life," the Xuanfeng Emperor said somberly and then raised his voice to fill the hall, "All of you monsters of the Xuanfeng Dynasty, set your own rules for interactions. Whether it’s sparring or a duel to the death, as long as both parties are willing, then it is permissible."

The Xuanfeng Emperor was resolved to see Su Chen’s strength for himself. If Su Chen weren’t strong enough and met his end, wouldn’t that be for the best? It would spare him from having to act.

The Seventh Princess turned slightly pale, recognizing that her father’s decision was final and knowing that anything she said would be useless.

"Su Chen, do you dare?!" The next moment, Jian Yi shouted again, aggressively confronting Su Chen with undisguised murderous intent, "If you don’t dare!!! I can give you three moves, even ten moves!"

As he spoke, Jian Yi raised his Sword and said emphatically, "Even more, if you wish, I can also fight without my Sword."

[The excitement continues tomorrow, asking for recommendation tickets! Brothers and sisters, please hold back on the criticism a bit! Nanjihai’s updates have indeed been plentiful, six Chapters a day for two straight months. I’m genuinely giving it my all every day, but as always, writing takes much longer than reading. It takes me an hour to write each Chapter, not including the brainstorming. I hope everyone can understand. In this cold weather, writing novels is not easy, aaaah...]
