Chapter 119: Twenty Years of Internal Energy!

“You filthy woman! Deceiving me all these years! I swear I’ll beat you to death, you cheap slut!”

“Ah!”

“Don’t hit me, husband! I know I was wrong!”

“Ow! Ah! Boo hoo!”

Wang Qing’s hair was ripped out in clumps by Guan Mingtang. Her nose was broken crooked. Her eye was split at the corner, and her false eyelashes flew off. Several of her teeth were knocked loose by Guan Mingtang’s blows, blood pouring from her mouth.

With a heavy kick, Guan Mingtang sent her sprawling on the floor like a dog eating shit.

She quickly crawled back up through the pain, dropping to her knees, sobbing and begging, “Husband, please stop hitting me!”

“Stop hitting you? I want to kill you right now! Damn it!”

Guan Mingtang wasn’t lying; he truly wanted to kill Wang Qing.

Terrified, her face drained of color, she collapsed on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

“Stop your damned crying!”

“Divorce, now! You’re leaving with nothing! Take those three bastards you bore and get out of my sight!”

“If you dare say no, I’ll kill your entire family!”

Guan Mingtang roared, his eyes bloodshot.

Any man would go mad marrying such a wife, with three children none of whom were his own.

Suddenly, Wang Qing scrambled up like a wild animal, shouting at Guan Mingtang, “Guan Mingtang! You’re so cold and heartless!”

“You say divorce and it’s done? How heartless and ungrateful of you!”

“I suffered so much and bore three children! You don’t care about me at all! Is blood relation really that important? What about those who can’t have children—they adopt, don’t they? Those three kids have called you ‘dad’ for years, and you just kick us out like that? Are you even a man?!”

Her words were the result of at least twenty years of bitterness.

Guan Mingtang almost burst a blood vessel from the fury.

“Damn it, next door!!!”

His anger reached its peak, erupting like a volcano.

He grabbed Wang Qing’s hair and slammed her hard onto the floor, fists raining down on her face and body.

She screamed in agony.

In moments, the face she had once cosmetically enhanced was utterly destroyed—swollen like a boiled pig’s head.

Her teeth were all knocked out.

She was unrecognizable, even to her own parents.

“Guan Ting, stop! If you keep hitting her, someone’s going to die!” Xia Dong couldn’t stand it any longer and stepped forward to pull Guan Mingtang away.

Finally, Guan Mingtang stopped, breathing heavily, eyes still bloodshot.

“Husband, I… beg you, please stop hitting me. I was wrong.”

Wang Qing lay on the ground, weakly pleading, her voice barely audible.

“Hah! Spit!”

Guan Mingtang spat a thick gob of phlegm in her face. “Get lost, you slut! You make me sick just seeing you!”

At that moment, Zhang Qiang woke from unconsciousness.

Seeing Wang Qing’s battered state, his face turned pale. Struggling, he knelt before Guan Mingtang.

“Brother Guan, I was wrong. Please spare me. I didn’t mean it; Wang Qing seduced me!”

Guan Mingtang didn’t strike him but grabbed Zhang Qiang’s collar, gritting his teeth.

“I’m giving that slut to you! From now on, she and those three bastards are your responsibility!”

“Brother Guan, I…”

Zhang Qiang looked miserable, unwilling to take the blame.

Only one of those children was his, and he certainly didn’t want to raise another man’s kids.

“If you don’t agree, I’ll break your legs and sink you in the river!” Guan Mingtang’s face twisted with menace.

“Brother Guan, no! I’ll do it, I promise.”

“Now get that slut out of here!”

Zhang Qiang hoisted Wang Qing onto his back and fled the private room in shame.

Guan Mingtang slumped into a chair, his hands and lips trembling.

After a few seconds, he came to his senses and shot Ye Tianci a meaningful look before standing and heading outside.

“Guan Mingtang, you’re cursed with a fatal aura and a blood calamity yet unresolved,” Ye Tianci said.

“No longer needed,” Guan Mingtang replied, walking out in a daze.

Ye Tianci frowned, tore a piece from his sleeve, bit his finger, and quickly drew a talisman. Handing it to Li Zhenhua, he said, “Make sure Guan Mingtang takes this.”

Guan Mingtang was the deputy leader of the Shu City Four Seas Medicine Alliance and the head of the Shu City Medical Bureau—someone who would surely be useful in the future.

That was why Ye Tianci chose to save him.

Li Zhenhua hurried outside and forcibly slipped the blood talisman into Guan Mingtang’s pocket.

“Old Guan, this is from Mr. Ye. He says it can save your life. You must keep it safe!”

Guan Mingtang nodded blankly, eyes vacant, then drove off.

Back inside, Xia Dong was lowering his posture, speaking politely to Ye Tianci.

“I didn’t expect, young brother, that you’re so skilled in physiognomy at such a young age!”

“Xia Dong, I underestimated you before. I owe you an apology.”

Xia Dong poured three cups of wine and downed them in one gulp each.

He was a straightforward, generous man.

“Old Xia, not only is Mr. Ye a miraculous physiognomist, but his medical skills are also extraordinary. My father and the old master of the Shen family, the Wealth God of the South, were both healed by him.”

“Mr. Ye, Xia Dong is a bank president holding billions in funds.”

Li Zhenhua helped smooth things over.

Xia Dong and Ye Tianci exchanged a glance, silently giving each other credit.

“You’re truly a hidden treasure, young brother. If you ever need anything, just let me know.”

“You’re too kind,” Ye Tianci replied with a faint smile.

The food and wine arrived, and the men began their banquet.

After another round of drinks, Xia Dong spoke again.

“Young brother Ye, to be honest, my wife and I are over forty and still childless. We suffer great pain and pressure.”

“You, too?” Ye Tianci asked.

Unexpectedly, his question brought tears to Xia Dong’s eyes.

“Don’t look at me now, holding power over the bank and billions in funds—I’m not at ease at all.”

“Because we have no children, my father looks down on me. I can’t hold my head high in the Xia family.”

“He’s said more than once that if we don’t have a child within two years, I won’t remain bank president.”

“Do you think I don’t have pressure?”

His wife, Li Yanzi, spoke up.

“Doctor Ye, since your medical skills are so great, can you help us?”

“If you can help us have a child, we will reward you handsomely!”

Ye Tianci agreed readily.

“Alright, Mrs. Xia, let me first take your pulse.”

Li Yanzi happily extended her wrist.

Ye Tianci lightly placed his fingers on her wrist and immediately frowned.

Li Yanzi grew nervous, her complexion paling, fearing he might expose her secrets like he did Wang Qing’s.

“Mrs. Xia, did you practice martial arts from a young age?” Ye Tianci asked.

She quickly nodded.

Xia Dong was shocked.

“You can tell just from taking the pulse?”

Ye Tianci nodded slightly and asked, “Did you practice the ‘Three Nines’ in summer and the ‘Three Hottest Days’ in winter?”

“Did you endure scorching sun in summer and train under ice and snow in winter to build endurance?”

Li Yanzi was amazed and nodded.

“Unbelievable! You got it all right!”

Then Ye Tianci took Xia Dong’s pulse and accurately diagnosed his ailments.

He completely won over the Xia couple and gained their trust.

“You’re not only a divine seer but also a miracle doctor!” Xia Dong praised.

“Mr. Ye, can you cure the illnesses my husband and I have? Can we still have children?” Li Yanzi asked anxiously.
