Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 790: Chapter 657: Robbery! Leave the Boat

This blaze had heated up hundreds of feet of the sand river’s surface to a glowing red.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but be astonished, Feng Xun’s Refined Edible Oil was truly remarkable.

Little did she know, the edible oil Feng Xun carried was refined through a special method. Feng Xun primarily brought it for cooking, but on the other hand, the oil could also be used to set up Arrays. Once ignited, its power was comparable to military-grade fire oil.

Numerous Sand Ants struggled painfully in the fire, eventually turning into specks of dust even smaller than grains of sand.

At the same moment the Sand Ants perished, Ye Lingyue glanced at the Four Directions Token in her arms. She excitedly discovered that the number on the token began to jump, rising from zero all the way up, finally stopping at ”thirty-six.”

Earlier, Chen Mu and the others had exerted great efforts but ended up empty-handed, cleaning only a handful of Sand Ant nests. Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun’s blaze, however, eradicated the root, wiping out more than thirty at once.

Ye Lingyue was overjoyed, finally having some gains, but she didn’t know if the other contestants had made any new progress during the past period.

What would happen to Long Baobao and the others?

Amid such worries and thoughts, most of the night had already passed.

The edible oil had completely burned out, and the river surface was covered with a great amount of ash. With a gust of wind, it scattered fluttering away.

Ye Lingyue began calculating the time.

Her Corrosive Soul Chain could only last for a full day, and now half a day and a night had already passed. If no new Four-direction Boat passed by after noon tomorrow, she would have to use the Star Saliva Dagger for aerial flight. However, the Star Saliva couldn’t support both her and Feng Xun.

Each remaining moment turned into anxious waiting.

The nests and havoc of the Sand Ants were quickly washed away by the flowing sand, similar to flowing water, the entire river surface looking as pristine as ever, as if the bloody massacre of the day had never happened.

At dawn, Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun were still eagerly keeping their eyes open, hoping for a new Four-direction Boat to appear.

But time after time, they were disappointed.

The sun rose again quickly.

The scorching desert sun made people dizzy.

Finally, near midday, Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun finally heard the gentle sound of oars rowing.

Because of the reflection of the river’s sandy surface, Ye Lingyue’s vision was slightly dazzling, and she only saw a blurry white figure.

In contrast, Feng Xun, who was embracing Ye Lingyue, slightly raised his phoenix eyes, and a different color flashed across his brow.

It was a Four-direction Boat, with only one person on board. That person lay back on the boat, his legs crossed, and his long hair covering his face, presenting the silhouette of a man.

That full head of long white hair, like snow, yet it did not melt.

The person seemed leisurely and relaxed, as if he was here to leisurely cruise in the Rift Valley Sand River, seemingly unbothered by the dangers of the sand river.

Ye Lingyue’s face lit up, she gestured to Feng Xun, signaling him to stay still.

The Corrosive Soul Chain around her waist swiftly split into two, one securing Feng Xun, while Ye Lingyue’s body swiftly slid down, just before hitting the surface of the Flowing Sand River, several Star Saliva Daggers transformed into flowing light, resembling steps in mid-air, she tiptoed lightly across them, gracefully landing on the boat at its bow.

As Ye Lingyue broke through the air, the man on the boat slightly furrowed his brows, obviously sensing someone’s intrusion.

He enjoyed tranquility and had chosen this time and way to Sifang City precisely to avoid unnecessary attention.

Although she knew that the person had already landed on the boat, no one on the boat opened their eyes.

Ye Lingyue landed on the Four-direction Boat, but she did not immediately speak.

Although she had committed many evil deeds, to blatantly rob a stranger still made her somewhat embarrassed.

After pondering for a long time, her usually articulate tongue seemed somewhat disobedient, and after a moment of reflection, she coughed a few times.

”This road is mine; I planted these trees. Hand over your Four-direction Boat, I’m robbing you.”

Perhaps not expecting the newcomer to be a woman, the man finally reacted and slowly stood up.

As he stood, his purple robe, flowing like shimmering light, opened slightly, and his snow-like long hair fell beside, revealing his face.

Ye Lingyue was struck dumb.

She thought that after seeing a beauty like Feng Xun, she would be immune to the appearance of any man or woman in the world.

But the person before her was undoubtedly an exception.

His was a face that no pen and ink could adequately describe, with long, delicate eyes, a straight nose, and lips as full as cherries. Just a fleeting glance, those eyes seemed to carry all the beautiful scenery of the world.

This was a young man as mild as lotus and chrysanthemum, three parts crisp and seven parts cold, appearing a few years older than Feng Xun.

If one forcefully had to compare anyone with this man, it would only be Feng Xun, with no second.

But his feeling was completely different from Feng Xun’s; if Feng Xun was warm as spring, then this man was as chilling as winter.

He stood up, showing indifference to Ye Lingyue’s words, but a layer of frost had covered his eyes, a single glance making Ye Lingyue feel as if her soul were about to freeze.

Even without realization, Ye Lingyue understood at this moment that she seemed to have chosen the worst possible person to rob.

Fortunately, this person exhibited no fluctuations of Primordial Power or spiritual waves, and Ye Lingyue had also covertly observed him using the Qi Observation Technique before, and he seemed to be an Ordinary person, just like Feng Xun.

In an instant, the variety of expressions on Ye Lingyue’s small face amazed Feng Xun beside her.

He understood from Ye Lingyue’s reaction that his little woman had probably kicked an iron plate this time.

Feng Xun was immensely troubled; he sternly reminded himself that after this, he definitely had to roundaboutly tell his little woman that those who Qi Observation Technique failed to see, besides Ordinary people, were those whose cultivation was far beyond her own.

Reassured, Ye Lingyue coughed again and, with what she deemed a fierce tone, emphasized once more.

”My friend, let me say it again, I have taken a fancy to your boat; you have two choices, one is voluntary and the other is involuntary. With the first choice, I can offer you some compensation, and for the second, I must apologize in advance for being rude.”

After Ye Lingyue finished speaking, the other party remained indifferent, with even his expression unchanged.

Ye Lingyue grew annoyed, wondering if the handsome man could be mute or if he was simply ignoring her words deliberately.

Ye Lingyue was thinking it might be time to switch from words to action.

Just as Ye Lingyue was gearing up, preparing to charge forward, the other party finally spoke what might be his first sentence today or even this month.

”What compensation?”
