The woman cried out in surprise, and at that moment, Xiao Han charged out.
His figure flashed like lightning, resembling a ghostly apparition, making onlookers' eyes pop with astonishment. That sort of speed was only seen in TV dramas.
"Dang."
As someone swung a cleaver down, Xiao Han shattered it with a single palm strike.
The next instant, the hoodlum, struck in the chest by Xiao Han's palm, screamed miserably and was sent flying.
Wei Qiang's heart trembled, he immediately realized that he most likely was facing a true martial artist—this person was even more formidable than Yu Shao had described.
However, remembering the numbers he had on his side, he emboldened himself and shouted, "Everyone, attack together, chop him down."
He was the first to rush forward, but his return was just as swift. Xiao Han didn't even spare him a glance before kicking him back. Wei Qiang's body crashed into several hoodlums, all of whom spat blood from their mouths and lay limp on the ground, devoid of any combat strength.
Xiao Han gave a devilish smile, his hands never ceasing their movement.
In under a minute, he had knocked down more than twenty men. The only people left standing were two: Xiao Han himself and the beautiful woman with a face full of shock.
"Heavens, did I just encounter Superman?" the woman couldn't help but exclaim.
"Not Superman, just a man," Xiao Han glanced at the woman and smirked roguishly.
The woman blushed; she certainly hadn't forgotten that just before, this man had called her his wife. Though she felt he was joking, her heart couldn't help but speed up a bit.
"What should we do now? Call the police?" The woman couldn't help but ask, looking at the people sprawled all over the ground.
"No need, I've never taken these trash seriously, just wait for me and then we can leave," Xiao Han said, shaking his head. He didn't want any trouble.
Xiao Han squatted down and searched everyone, taking out their wallets and removing all the cash inside.
From over twenty men, he had extracted fifty thousand—Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh heartily. This was simply too great, now he wished these men would come at him a few more times.
Now he didn't need to worry about his next meal.
With the money in hand, Xiao Han waved grandly and declared, "Wife, let's go."
He started walking in one direction, but the woman didn't move. Xiao Han looked back at her, puzzled, not understanding why she wasn't following him.
"Umm, I need to go that way," the woman pointed in a different direction.
Xiao Han scratched his head, then shifted directions.
The two left the alley, and the woman let out a sigh of relief, feeling like she had just escaped a dire situation.
"Hello, my name is Fang Yun," the woman extended her hand towards Xiao Han in introduction.
"Wife, nice to meet you, my name is Xiao Han, but you can call me husband," Xiao Han shook Fang Yun's hand. It was not delicate but rather rough, bearing the marks of frequent hard work.
"Mr. Xiao, stop joking, we have only just met," Fang Yun said with a wry smile.
"I never joke," Xiao Han replied.
Fang Yun: "..."
"Actually, I'm already married, sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Xiao," Fang Yun added after some thought.
Xiao Han nodded and said, "I can tell, but I can also see that you haven't had marital relations for at least three years, so if your husband isn't dead, then he's not treating you right."
Hearing Xiao Han's words, Fang Yun's eyes widened in shock - how did he know that?
"I am a Divine Doctor. I can see what's wrong with your body at a glance," Xiao Han said proudly.
Fang Yun didn't believe it at all. Even the most skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctors likely did not possess such a skill.
"Don't believe me?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.
Fang Yun nodded. She didn't believe it. Even if there were such incredible Divine Doctors, it certainly wouldn't be Xiao Han, because he was simply too young.
True masters of Chinese medicine were always people of considerable age.
"Alright, although I don't know how you learned some details about me, I must tell you that we're really not suited for each other. And besides, you're so young. Goodbye, I'm off to meet a client," Fang Yun said to Xiao Han as she turned to leave.
"Destined to be afflicted by the Heavenly Slaughter Star, you can only find happiness if you follow me," Xiao Han continued to follow Fang Yun.
"What did you say?" Fang Yun's complexion changed drastically.
Being afflicted by the Heavenly Slaughter Star, also known as being a Lone Star of Heavenly Slaughter, meant that such people would lead to the misfortune of all their loved ones, yet they themselves would live well.
However, such individuals are doomed to live forever in pain, bearing the agony of having caused the death of their relatives.
Once, an old fortune-teller had told Fang Yun similar words. She hadn't believed them, but now, almost everyone around her was dead or injured.
Fang Yun never expected someone to say that again.
"Besides medical skill, I also know a bit of Face Reading," Xiao Han said with a grin.
The Evil Doctor was astoundingly accomplished in various areas. Whether it was Qimen Dunjia, medical skill, or face reading, he had reached remarkable heights, and as a disciple trained by the Evil Doctor, Xiao Han was naturally not lacking in these aspects.
Before he descended the mountain, the Evil Doctor had instructed Xiao Han that he must endure countless trials of love. For three types of fated women that he would encounter, he must be with them and should never let them down. These three types of women could offer great assistance to Xiao Han in the future.
Although Xiao Han usually referred to his Master as the old man, he had absolute faith in his words. In such situations, he knew the other party would never deceive him.
And among those three fates, one was the Heavenly Slaughter Star.
The moment Xiao Han saw Fang Yun, he had discerned her fate, and that is why he persistently chased after her.
Regardless of Fang Yun's current attitude, Xiao Han would not let go.
"Someone in your family is suffering from illness, a very close relative to you. If I'm not mistaken, she is probably on the brink of death," Xiao Han added fuel to the fire.
At this, Fang Yun was truly shocked. She had a daughter, a fact unknown even to her colleagues. The fact that he could mention it meant his words were very likely true.
"I can save her," Xiao Han continued to speak.
Fang Yun trembled, her eyes widening as she stared at Xiao Han. In a quivering voice, she asked, "Really?"
"Indeed, the lineage of the Evil Doctor never lies," Xiao Han replied earnestly.
"If you can save my daughter, I am willing to be your woman," Fang Yun said, biting her seductive lip.
Xiao Han, however, shook his head and turned away.
Fang Yun was stunned. She didn't understand. She had already agreed to Xiao Han's terms, yet it seemed as if he was unwilling now.
"This is not a transaction. You can try to fall in love with me. If I don't have that much charm, I won't stop you from seeking your happiness," Xiao Han walked two steps, stopped, then said with a serious face.
Fang Yun's heart quivered, and she nodded firmly. This man was indeed different.
