She bowed her head and softly said, \"So, in Young Master Xu’s eyes, am I merely a dual cultivation partner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wendong was taken aback; our relationship is confined to physical attraction, did you expect something emotional?\u003C\u002Fp>",1257,"2026-05-30T06:35:38.722Z","2026-06-01T04:30:33.480Z",1,"novelbin.me","ade004cc08b70585971a409f515083fef1d9db4750842ed3bbace094fdf2855d","urban-romantic-divine-doctor-chapter-1080","urban-romantic-divine-doctor-chapter-1078",1693,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-romantic-divine-doctor-cover.jpg"]
