Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 286: Chapter 156: The Quarreling Couple

Wu Zhong slightly exerted force on his hand, and the Nirvana Cauldron turned into an iron block like a lump of soft mud in an instant.

”Angry? Not just anyone can become my little female slave. Considering your good service, here is a portion of Nirvana Iron as your reward.” With a sweep of his sleeve, the Nirvana Iron landed in Ye Lingyue’s hands.

Wu Zhong and Ye Lingyue had both noticed that this Nirvana Cauldron was no ordinary object. Although it wasn’t entirely made of Nirvana Iron, it contained a portion of Nirvana Iron, which Ye Lingyue could extract using her smelting and purification techniques.

The exchanges between the two didn’t seem very hostile, yet to others, they sounded like a couple bickering.

Several subordinates of the Ghost Emperor Sect were also taken aback.

Wu Zhong had a mercurial temperament; no one had ever been close to him personally, let alone a... man.

Boss He and Third Brother He’s eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this.

Their purpose in coming here was for the Nirvana Iron.

Wu Zhong’s actions had clearly given Ye Lingyue an opportunity, one that would put the Treasure Cave deeply in her debt.

”That’s more like it.” Ye Lingyue barely managed to quench her anger.

”Lord Ghost Emperor, we should leave now. The entrance to the Taiyi Secret Realm is about to disappear.” The people from the Underworld Yama Palace had been waiting for Wu Zhong’s return these days.

While Wu Zhong was trapped by Yinzhongtian, something had happened in Xia Capital.

Counting the days, ”he” had been gone for almost a month.

If those at Feng Residence couldn’t find ”him” soon, they would likely have to report to that person from Beiqing.

Emperor Beiqing... A dark light flickered in Wu Zhong’s eyes, and without another word, he vanished in an instant.

The people from the Underworld Yama Palace also turned into a wisp of Ghost Smoke and disappeared without a trace.

”Boss He, let’s quickly leave as well.” The entrance to the Taiyi Secret Realm was shrinking.

Ye Lingyue glanced at the towering Taiyi Sect amongst the mountains; after this incident, the thousand-year-old Taiyi Sect would forever be forgotten by the world.

The three whisked away and rushed out of the Taiyi Secret Realm’s exit.

After the three had left the Taiyi Secret Realm’s exit, it disappeared.

Standing before the stone stele at the mountain entry, Ye Lingyue took out the map of the Taiyi Secret Realm from her hand.

With a little force, she turned the map into fragments.

”This map, has also caused much harm, let’s leave.”

Ye Lingyue had also been away from Xia Capital for over a month; if she didn’t return now, the people from the Imperial Hospital might start looking for her.

”Thinking of leaving? It’s not that simple.”

Crown Prince Hong, Duke An, Elder Yue, and Hong Yulang, the four of them, sprung out.

They had been ambushing at the exit of the Taiyi Secret Realm for quite a while, always looking for an opportunity to seize the location of the sect’s divine artifact.

Unfortunately, two groups had left before them, first was Elder Huo Yan and then the Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong. The former was with Bo Qing, whose body was covered with countless disorganized spiritual artifacts, and he self-destructed an earth-level spiritual treasure to kill the Three-eyed Green-eyed Stone Beast; Crown Prince Hong and others were very wary of him.

Not to mention the Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong.

”Daring to openly declare oneself as the Emperor, and amidst the powerful nations on the mainland, there’s certainly no one Crown Prince Hong and his likes can afford to provoke.”

As he helplessly watched the enemy leave, unable to take action, it was only after Hong Shisan and Boss He walked out that Crown Prince Hong saw a glimmer of hope again, especially when they saw Wu Zhong giving the Nirvana Cauldron to Ye Lingyue.

Both groups of people left without taking any sect’s divine artifact, Crown Prince Hong naturally connected the sect’s divine artifact and the Nirvana Cauldron together.

”It’s you again, hiding in the shadows, what kind of heroes are you?” Boss He and Third Brother He were as if facing a great enemy.

”Hong Shisan, you are a Medical and Poison Expert, and also a notable figure. I, the Crown Prince, cherish talents like life itself. Since you are a Daxia citizen, why not join me? If you come under my command, promotions and ranks in the future are inevitable for you,” Crown Prince Hong said with a sinister smile appearing on his effeminate face.

Speaking of which, before the Taiyi Secret Realm, Crown Prince Hong had never even heard the name Hong Shisan.

A Postnatal Martial Artist, a Fifth Rank Alchemist, does not even catch the eye of Crown Prince Hong.

However, his poison techniques and despicable cunning nature, which forced Duke An and Elder Yue to lose their arms in such a malicious manner, were exactly in line with Crown Prince Hong’s temperament.

Looking again at Hong Shisan’s face, which was between a young man and a man, somewhat resembling a woman, an obscene intention flashed through Crown Prince Hong’s eyes.

Ye Lingyue, witnessing this, couldn’t help but feel her skin crawl.

This perverse Crown Prince actually wanted to attract her using power and influence.

First by offering her the position of the Crown Prince’s Concubine, followed by promotions and ranks; really, Crown Prince Hong never changes his perverted ways.

”Hehe, if you want to attract me, it’s not impossible. I wonder how high of an official position His Highness the Crown Prince can grant me?” Ye Lingyue pretended to be very interested, with a face full of anticipation.

Sure enough, Crown Prince Hong was secretly pleased; he knew, which man wouldn’t be interested in official positions.

”There are many official ranks in Daxia, how many ranks do you desire?”

”I hear that being the Crown Prince’s Grand Protector in Daxia is very prestigious, why don’t you grant me the position of Crown Prince’s Grand Protector,” Yu Lingyue said with a hooked lip and a cold laugh.

The position of the Crown Prince’s Grand Protector is a First-grade Official; Crown Prince Hong simply doesn’t have the power to bestow that, not to mention the current Grand Protector Hong Fang is the Crown Prince’s mentor. If Crown Prince Hong were to appoint Hong Shisan as Grand Protector, it would be no different from betraying his teacher.

Crown Prince Hong realized that Hong Shisan had no intention of joining him; he was just provoking intentionally.

”Hong Shisan, you have quite the appetite, with what qualifications do you have to be the Crown Prince’s Grand Protector?” Hong Yulang said, his handsome face ghastly pale with anger, this damn Hong Shisan, how dare he compare himself with his father.

”Crown Prince, this person is clearly a troublemaker, his actions are malicious, and he’s colluding with the Demon Sect, he’s sure to be a threat to the court in the future,” Duke An and Elder Yue, despite their hands being patched up and no longer in acute pain, still had their strength significantly reduced.

Upon seeing the main culprit Hong Shisan, both were immediately fuming with rage.

”Hong Shisan, I ask you once more, are you willing to serve the court and be loyal to this Crown Prince!” Crown Prince Hong’s patience was almost worn thin.

”You! Are! Unworthy!” Ye Lingyue coldly spit out three words, causing Crown Prince Hong’s expression to twist.

”Kill him!”

Since he couldn’t be utilized, then there’s only one path left for him: death.

As Crown Prince Hong’s anger surged, Duke An and Elder Yue, his two henchmen, quick as two hawks diving for prey, burst forward.

Duke An, with a pair of bloodshot eyes, glared at Hong Shisan, sneering,

”Little beast, I’ll break your arms and legs to repay the pain of my severed hands.”

Facing the aggressively approaching Duke An, Third Brother He moved swiftly; he took a large step and positioned himself in front of Ye Lingyue.

”Hearing of Duke An’s cultivation that dominates the Xia Capital, Third Brother He of the He Family wishes to experience it today.”
