Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 821: Chapter 688: She Becomes the New Queen of the Birdmen

With the death of Chen Hongru, the morale of the Beauty Snake Tribe plummeted, and Beauty Snake Shari was torn to shreds by Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo.

The fierce battle finally came to a close around dusk.

The Three-legged Birdmen, having lost their leader, also suffered heavy losses, though thankfully not many perished.

Ye Lingyue, who had been forced to simultaneously accept the Earth Spirit and the Queen’s Demon Core, only managed to completely absorb the newly born power in her body after more than an hour of sitting in meditation.

”Queen!”

When Ye Lingyue opened her eyes again, in front of her kneeled a flock of Birdmen, rustling like leaves.

To welcome the new Queen, the Three-legged Birdmen performed a prostrate salute, each one lying flat on the ground, looking from above like a field of large birds.

Looking at those formidable Birdmen with their large wings, Ye Lingyue subconsciously got the shivers.

It took her brain a while to register that she had been tricked by the Three-legged Birdman Queen and had actually taken in these homeless Fierce Beasts.

”Ahem, don’t just say whatever you want, I am not any queen, this is all a misunderstanding,” Ye Lingyue waved her hands, trying to figure out how to slip away and leave these silly big birds behind.

No sooner had she spoken than Ye Lingyue got another shiver.

”Wait, when did I start speaking Bird language!”

Ye Lingyue couldn’t believe it.

She clearly remembered that the Three-legged Birdmen spoke a chaotic bird language, and within the entire tribe, only the Queen could speak the Human language.

That’s one reason why Ye Lingyue hadn’t agreed to look after the Three-legged Birdman Tribe as the Queen had requested.

She didn’t want the headache of speaking to a group of Birdmen, each misunderstanding the other, with Little Zhiyo acting as the only translator beast—the very thought was too beautiful to bear.

”Boss, it’s not that you can speak Bird language now, but because you absorbed the Demon Core of the Three-legged Birdman Queen. The Three-legged Birdman Queen is a rare ’Spirit Language’ Divine Beast among the Birdmen. Having absorbed its Demon Core, you can now communicate with various Fierce Beasts,” Little Wuya kindly reminded their leader.

It seemed that Ye Lingyue was still unaware of the benefits she gained after absorbing the Three-legged Birdman Queen’s Demon Core.

Ye Lingyue was actually quite lucky this time.

Normally, due to physical limitations, one must painstakingly refine a Demon Core for a long time to absorb just a small amount of demonic power.

A typical Demon Core, once inside the body, would cause the body to burst and die under the unmanageable demonic power.

However, because the Three-legged Birdman Queen had earlier consumed the Moonflower, most of the demonic power in her body had dissipated, and the subsequent demonic power derived from Ye Lingyue’s Cauldron Breath. The residual demonic power was completely refined and the minor malice of the Demon Core was eliminated after being taken into the Vermilion Snow Cauldron.

Moreover, because of Ye Lingyue’s constitution being different due to the Qian Cauldron, she was able to thoroughly assimilate the Three-legged Birdman Queen’s Demon Core.

”Boss, you might as well take in these Three-legged Birdmen, otherwise they’re just too pitiful. Without the protection of a leader, they won’t be able to survive in the Rift Valley Sand River region. After we finish participating in the World’s First Refining, we can take them back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Territory. I can teach them human language, and everything will get better.”

Little Wuya’s heart softened.

Chen Hongru’s conspiracy had led to the catastrophe that befell both the Beauty Snake Tribe and the Three-legged Birdman Tribe; the main force of the Beauty Snake Tribe was nearly completely annihilated, and while the Three-legged Birdmen fared slightly better, without the Earth Spirit, they truly had no means of surviving in the cruel region of the Rift Valley Sand River.

Ye Lingyue sighed inwardly, thinking that Little Wuya was indeed too naive.

These Fierce Beasts, unlike Little Wuya who was a Divine Beast, cannot change into human form using the Moonflower. They are not suited to live on the Qing Province Continent.

Not to mention, being demon beasts, their appearance would attract the attention of the other Three Sects and Nine Schools, and Ye Lingyue had not forgotten her transgressions at places like the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, Hunyuan Sect, and Three-Life Valley.

Before her own wings were full-fledged, the existence of these Three-legged Birdmen was indeed troublesome for her.

No sooner had Little Wuya finished speaking than the Three-legged Birdmen started to kowtow to Ye Lingyue as if they had understood her words.

They even indicated that if Ye Lingyue could not take them in, they would rather commit suicide by crashing into the mountain walls, following their Queen in death.

Ye Lingyue thought hard and meditated, ultimately having no choice but to compromise.

She was soft-hearted when receiving favors from others, even though the Three-legged Birdmen were forcefully given to her by their Queen.

”Fine,” she said, ”lead your kin back to the area near the mountain walls, gather all the remaining Three-legged Birdmen to the downstream River Valley area, where the Lightning Mink’s nest was discovered earlier. Tonight, I will head there to arrange for your relocation and settlement.” Ye Lingyue rubbed her temple, formulating a rough strategy in her mind.

She must transfer these Three-legged Birdmen without anyone’s knowledge, as for how to transfer them...

Upon hearing this, the Three-legged Birdmen joyously called out, not daring to defy Ye Lingyue’s wishes, promptly gathered the birds, and returned to the caves.

After all the Three-legged Birdmen had left, Ye Lingyue and Little Wuya, along with the others, surveyed the surroundings once more to ensure that no other accomplices of Chen Hongru were nearby, and they found several Beauty Snakes that were still barely alive. Ye Lingyue, taking them captive, located the Beauty Snake den.

Chen Hongru controlled the Earth Spirit, causing landslides, and within nearly ten miles, many parts of the mountain wall collapsed extensively.

After checking and finding no omissions, Ye Lingyue and the others then left the mountain wall platform.

There, Ye Lingyue discovered several Four-direction Boats, and to her surprise, there were several scattered Four Directions Tokens on the boats, one of which was actually Chen Hongru’s token.

In order to disguise himself, Chen Hongru had spared no effort, using the false name Chen Hong to sign up for the World’s First Refining.

And halfway through, he ambushed and killed several Four-direction Boats; after obtaining these tokens, he did not immediately accumulate the count of his kills. Instead, he was cunning and sidelined the tokens, planning to make a sensational move on the last day.

Regrettably, his cunning plan had not yet come to fruition, and he was already dead in the sand river, which could be considered his just deserts.

Furthermore, at Beauty Snake Shari’s place, many Fierce Beasts from the area of the sand river were imprisoned.

These Fierce Beasts were temporarily penned by the Beauty Snakes as a food source, along with the various rare Poison Grasses and treasures collected in the Beauty Snake den, Ye Lingyue’s gains this time were truly substantial.

After everything was arranged, the moon was already high in the sky.

Ye Lingyue instructed Feng Xun and others to stay first in the Beauty Snake den, while she herself went to the Sand River Valley Region to meet up with the members of the Three-legged Birdman Tribe.
