Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 718 - 720: Special Repayment
In the room, Xia Liu, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and then slowly closed them again.
His Divine Sense spread out, mapping everything within a hundred meters in his consciousness.
A shadow quietly opened the door and then groped their way towards Xia Liu’s bed in the dark.
Swoosh, swoosh!
In that instant, Xia Liu flicked his fingers towards the front, and the candle hanging on the wall immediately lit up.
The room was suddenly bright, and at the same time, the shadow became clear.
All movements meant to be concealed in darkness were now exposed to the light.
“Han Mei, what are you…”
Though a bit awkward, Xia Liu could not comprehend the pure girl’s thoughts.
He could only stop her actions.
After being discovered by Xia Liu, Han Mei hung her head very low; if she could, she would even have wished to bury it in a trench.
“Brother Xia Liu, I…”
Perhaps due to nervousness, or perhaps due to embarrassment, Han Mei could not continue.
“What happened? Or is there some difficulty you’re facing?” Xia Liu asked.
“No no… I just wanted to thank you, just to thank you,” Han Mei quickly replied.
????
Xia Liu was befuddled. Sneaking into his room in the dead of night—how exactly does she intend to thank me?
“I’ve received your gratitude, now go back and rest,” Xia Liu said with a faint smile.
“Brother Xia Liu…”
In her lowered gaze, a hint of red had unknowingly tinted her eyes.
“Brother Xia Liu! Thank you for protecting me these days, for keeping me safe from others. Thank you for leading me out of the Secret Realm. I might not have the chance to see you again in the future, so before I leave, I wanted to give myself to you.”
Finally, finally, when Xia Liu spoke to send her away, Han Mei mustered up unprecedented courage to express her feelings.
This…
Xia Liu was stunned once more.
Before he could react, the charming figure had thrown herself into his embrace.
And then started fumbling with his clothes.
From Han Mei’s technique, it was very clumsy, obviously inexperienced.
Though it had been a long time since he last indulged, Xia Liu still restrained himself.
He caught Han Mei’s hands and said earnestly, “I will not ruin you. You have protected me in the Secret Realm for a few days, and it is within my power to shelter you.”
“I…”
Xia Liu didn’t understand why, but after finishing his words, Han Mei started crying.
“I’m sorry, Brother Xia Liu, I got carried away. I’m sorry.”
As Xia Liu was contemplating how to comfort her, Han Mei stopped crying and began to apologize.
“You did nothing wrong, neither of us did. I understand you; I’ve been your age too. Just go back, rest for a couple of days, and don’t overthink it,” Xia Liu consoled her.
“Okay, thank you, Brother Xia Liu.”
Having said that, Han Mei didn’t drag things out and immediately ran out of the room.
This should have been a beautiful scene, with him dissuading a young girl at a vulnerable age.
But for some reason, watching her hurried figure leave, Xia Liu felt an inexplicable unease.
“Hopefully, it’s just me overthinking. We’re returning tomorrow, so I should just rest well tonight.”
With a thought, Xia Liu’s Divine Sense plunged the room back into darkness.
He also stopped his Cultivation practice, pulled over the soft covers, and enjoyed the long-missed tranquility.
Come morning, the mountains were engulfed in endless thick fog.
Only Ling Jue was there to see Xia Liu off on his departure.
This old fellow hadn’t slept all night, keeping watch, knowing that Xia Liu would leave without a word.
Indeed, he had discovered it.
Then he felt profoundly grateful to Xia Liu. Xia Liu had said a lot before he could extricate himself.
Right now, he just wanted to hurry home.
He executed his movement technique, speeding through the mountains and fields like the wind.
Upon reaching the place where he had parked his car, Xia Liu didn’t pause, immediately driving back to Binlai City.
Since he had left in the morning, it was already afternoon by the time he returned to Hejing.
Finally, he arrived at Osmanthus Group in the twilight.
At this moment, Xia Liu thought the girls were probably still at work, so he decided to pay a visit and give them a surprise.
As for the changes in Hejing, he had seen them on his way back.
He had to admit, that decision of his was absolutely correct.
By now, the whole county had undergone a qualitative leap in development.
High-rises were being constructed continuously.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before Hejing could reach the level of a third-ring zone in the urban area.
As for popularity, there was no longer any concern.
The hottest spot was undoubtedly the Eastern District.
This area was part semi-industrial zone, where the newly relocated people spent a small amount of money to buy houses and then worked in the nearby factories.
There were supermarkets and streets, and also a street famous for luxury.
Now, not only did the Eastern District gather the workers, it also attracted a large number of tourists to play.
In the eyes of tourists, there are three famous places in Hejing, one is the high-level commercial area in the Eastern District, the shops on that street are very famous globally.
Another is Longyun and Longteng Hotel.
Both hotels have a unified menu, and their flavors are similar, offering a taste akin to the Mortal World’s heavenly delicacies.
Every tourist who comes here can’t forget the cuisine of these two hotels.
The last thing that left an impression on them was the Osmanthus Group.
Osmanthus Group had transformed the entire county, becoming a top entity within the province.
Many people were skeptical, wondering how valuable the Osmanthus Group would be if it went public, it could be a terrifying existence.
Those travelers also knew some inside stories, that the founder of Osmanthus Group came from the poorest village in the county back then.

The group was also formed by the villagers contributing money in a shareholding system.
This was amazing. After an investigation, whenever people talked about Osmanthus Group, they would always give a thumbs up, saying it all without words.
Xia Liu had witnessed the changes in the county.
His previous ideas had been shattered by reality, time and again.
He would not be able to stay in the company forever; he needed to keep moving forward. Only by continuous running could he cure the hidden ailments in his body and make those around him stronger.
Of course, when time allowed, he would take full control of the company.
Inside the president’s office, three beautiful figures were sitting on the sofa, discussing amusing incidents.
Before entering the door, Xia Liu scanned the place with his Divine Sense.
It turned out that the company’s projects were basically mature, and as the chairwoman and senior staff, the girls naturally had more free time.
“Ding ding…”
Xia Liu knocked on the door politely with his hand.
“Come in.”
“Sister Xue’er, let me tell you…”
Zhang Xiaoxue still wanted to say something, but when she saw Xia Liu pushing the door and entering, she was stunned on the spot.
“Xiaoxue, you’re going to drive me crazy, just say it.”
“Xue’er, look who’s back…” Zhang Qing realized something was off and followed Zhang Xiaoxue’s gaze, her pupils narrowing slightly.
“Hi, Xiaoxue, Sister Xue’er, Sister Zhang, I’m back…”
Facing the girls who had worked hard for him and the company, Xia Liu was very comforted; having them in his life was a blessing accrued in his past life…
