Supreme Divine Physician in the City

Chapter 1688: Be My Maid

Yeah, Ye Xuan doesn’t need her at all, no matter from which aspect, he never needed her from the beginning.Because there’s nothing she can do to help him, even the protection he needs most now, she can’t offer even a bit.

It’s not that he is heartless, it’s just that he’s honest, he says what he feels.

"Then if you’re not getting in the car, where are you planning to go?" Seemingly realizing something, Ye Xuan asked again, "Are you staying in the Northern Federation?"

"I’ll stay," Chiba Sakurako answered with a smile. "Although my father is gone, and the Sword God Association no longer exists, this is still my hometown."

While saying this, Chiba Sakurako stared intently at Ye Xuan, looking at his deep, dark eyes, as if trying to see some spark she wanted in them.

However, Ye Xuan showed no expression at all.

He frowned in thought, eventually nodding in understanding, "Well, you’ve grown up here, you have your favorite Flower Sea here, indeed there is some sentiment... Alright then, let’s part ways, until we meet again."

Chiba Sakurako nodded with a smile, "Until we meet again."

Ye Xuan started the car, intending to leave with Ye Xiaoying.

The car drove a few steps forward, then Ye Xuan stopped again, poking his head out to say, "Do you need a ride back to the city?"

"Thanks, no need," Chiba Sakurako replied with a smile, "There are lots of cars here, I can go back myself."

"Alright then."

Ye Xuan drove off, leaving dust in his wake.

Watching the silhouette of the departing car, Chiba Sakurako stood alone for a long time without moving.

Until the car faded out of sight.

Only then did she dazedly come back to her senses, her beautiful eyes cast down, the smile on her face fading, replaced completely by an expression of loss and sorrow, unable to smile again.

"He’s gone..."

Chiba Sakurako muttered to herself, her tone filled with endless sadness and reluctance, and a sense of confusion.

She looked around, unable to find a direction, not knowing where her destination lay.

Even just a few minutes ago, she at least knew she wanted to fight alongside Ye Xuan, do her best in the battle, as long as Ye Xuan wasn’t down, she absolutely could not fall.

But now... the world is vast, where should she head?

Two lines of desolate tears, uncontrollably slid from the corners of her eyes.

Soon, this strong and brave Northern Federation samurai’s tear ducts finally collapsed completely, like an unstoppable flood, tears flowed continuously.

In the end, Chiba Sakurako squatted down gracefully, wrapped her arms around her knees, burying her head in tears.

Crying out loud!

She didn’t know what she was crying for.

She only knew, at this moment, apart from crying, there was nothing else she could do.

In this world, there is a type of person who is very pitiful.

People who are lost about the future.

Because once a person is lost, living in this world becomes like a walking corpse, with no thoughts, no goals, no direction.

This kind of life is mundane and uninteresting, it’s also painful and frustrating.

They never find happiness, only accompanied by nightmares every night, eroded by idle decadence every day...

Chiba Sakurako, right now, belongs to this type of person.

She has lost direction, doesn’t know what she should do next, doesn’t even know why she should live.

To keep going, one always needs some conviction.

Revenge for her father?

Chiba Sakurako would, she would do everything she could to destroy the Holy Mansion.

But after the revenge, what should she do?

These questions, Chiba Sakurako had never thought of before, but following the betrayal of the Sword God Association, everything seemed to flood in like a tide, wildly disturbing her heart and mind.

Only then did she realize, she seemed to have unknowingly become a walking corpse.

So, she cried.

She hugged her knees, squatting in this deserted suburban area full of corpses, burying her head in tears, her petite body twitching with sobs, like a helpless girl who couldn’t find her way home.

Indeed.

What truly crushed Chiba Sakurako wasn’t entirely her lost direction, but more importantly, with the collapse of the Sword God Association, she couldn’t find her home anymore.

Boom!

Suddenly a loud noise echoed from the sky, it was the Dragon of thunder roaring.

Whoa!

Torrential rain followed.

Rainwater washed over the land, quickly cleansing the glaring bloodstains on the ground, and soaking Chiba Sakurako’s vulnerable, wounded body.

The icy chill, from head to toe, penetrating through every inch of Chiba Sakurako’s body.

The coldness from her flesh was exactly like Chiba Sakurako’s heart at this moment.

She continued to cry, crying wholeheartedly.

Crying and crying, not knowing how long she had cried, when suddenly, amidst the rain, Chiba Sakurako heard the footsteps of someone.

She dazedly lifted her head.

Only to see Ye Xuan’s familiar figure appear before her once more.

He held an umbrella from somewhere, shielding her from the wind and rain.

He said nothing, just stood by, gazing at her quietly, his usual deep eyes seemingly flowed with emotions of compassion.

The rain continued, the wind persisted.

Meeting eyes, yet it felt like the whole world was silent, leaving just the two of them.

For a long time.

Chiba Sakurako’s pale lips trembled, and she spoke hesitantly, "Why did you come back?"

Ye Xuan shrugged, his face full of helplessness, "I got lost."

"Lost?" Chiba Sakurako was taken aback, "From here to the airport, there’s only one road, how could you get lost?"

"Just one road, why can’t one get lost?" Ye Xuan retorted mildly, "In front of you there’s just one road too, yet you got lost, didn’t you?"

Chiba Sakurako stared at Ye Xuan for a long time, a sorrowful smile on her face, "I don’t know where my road is, I can’t see it anymore."

"The confused inside, clear to the observer, you can’t see it, but I saw it for you," Ye Xuan grinned.

Chiba Sakurako’s eyes brightened, "You know what I should do for my future?"

"Of course I do," Ye Xuan pointed at himself, standing tall, "It’s simple, just three words, serve me!"

Chiba Sakurako was stunned, "Serve you?"

"What? Isn’t that justified?" Ye Xuan frowned, "I’ve saved you so many times, helped you with so much, without me, who knows how many times you would have died, don’t you think you should repay me with your remaining life?"

"I..."

Before Chiba Sakurako could speak, Ye Xuan continued, "You said it yourself back then, right? If ever needed, you’d repay tenfold, how quickly you’ve forgotten?"

"I haven’t forgotten!"

Chiba Sakurako hurriedly replied, "I always remember your kindness, I really want to repay you, but... I don’t know how to repay you."

"Isn’t that it?" Ye Xuan said, "My kindness to you is great, and not just once or twice, you can’t repay all of it in this lifetime, you can only repay bit by bit, with your life, isn’t that reasonable?"

"I don’t mean it like that, I don’t feel it’s unreasonable, I just..." Chiba Sakurako glanced at Ye Xuan secretly, lowered her head somewhat self-consciously, "I just feel, with your capabilities, you simply don’t have a need for me..."

"You underestimate yourself too much."

Ye Xuan shook his head, "How could there be no need for you? In fact, I need you to guide the way right now. And in the past, you helped wash my car, remember? Besides washing the car, I need you to do all sorts of errands."

"There are lots of miscellaneous tasks, I can’t recall all at once, but in short, I need you for many things."

"Simply put, I need you to be my assistant, or you can consider it... a maid!"
