Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 838: Chapter 705: Their Future Son

”Buddhism says, the sentient beings are divided into three tiers, six and nine classes; hence three, six, and nine are essential in many array formations.” Feng Xun had just finished speaking when the three clusters of Moonflower shifted, revealing an ancient well in front filled with descending stone steps.

”Feng Xun, since when did you start studying Buddhist knowledge?” Ye Lingyue wondered.

”Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in peril.” Feng Xun laughed, taking Ye Lingyue’s hand as they walked down the steps.

His study of Buddhism was simply because one of his former opponents was a master of Buddhist formations.

Not long after Ye Lingyue, and the other two descended the staircase, Chen Mu and An Yang also quietly followed in.

They too easily found those clusters of Moonflower according to what Yue Mei had told them earlier and successfully descended the stone staircase.

Ye Lingyue, Feng Xun, and Long Baobao, upon entering the ancient well, were taken aback again.

This seemingly narrow well below was actually something extraordinary.

All along the way, there was lighting by Merfolk Pearls. The Sifang City Lord had built an Underground Well Palace beneath Sifang City, matching the scale of the above-ground Sifang City.

”Surprising, the Sifang City Lord is also immensely wealthy. Feng Xun, guess, who is richer, the Sifang City Lord or you?” Ye Lingyue marvelled.

Her comparison was clearly inappropriate; after all, the Sifang City Lord had lived in Qing Province Continent for countless years, whereas Feng Xun had been managing the Feng Residence only for a few short years.

These days, Ye Lingyue’s favorite thing was to play poor, constantly pestering Feng Xun about poverty and seeking profitable business to earn money, given that she was now not only the Female Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts Territory but also had to support a crew of impoverished Three-legged Birdmen in Hong Meng Heaven.

Feng Xun, however, responded very seriously.

”I don’t know who among him and myself is richer, but I am sure none is as wealthy as your future son.”

”My, my son?” Ye Lingyue was stunned, not understanding what Feng Xun was implying.

”To be precise, our son. With such a poor-complaining mother and a wealth-acquiring father, the money from both of us added together, wouldn’t our son be the richest man in the world?” Feng Xun continued earnestly.

Ye Lingyue stood perplexed, glancing at Feng Xun, noticing his affectionate gaze upon her, unfazed by Long Baobao’s presence.

Ye Lingyue spit lightly, feeling her ears burning hot.

”Die, Feng Xun, who said I would have a son with you.”

”A daughter works too. Or maybe we should have several.” Feng Xun stroked his chin, thinking thoroughly.

”What sons and daughters, you’re bullying me again! How can you discuss such inappropriate topics in front of Little Steamed Bun?” Ye Lingyue touched her hot cheek.

”I am teasing you with words; bullying is a physical activity,”

Building upon his ethos, Feng Xun asserted with believable sincerity.

Caught between laughter and tears, Ye Lingyue found Feng Xun had recently developed a new skill: teasing her earnestly without repetition; she stamped her foot, ignoring him.

Seeing this, Long Baobao’s expression darkened slightly, but he remained silent.

”There are signs of an array formation ahead; Yue Mei and others should be right there,” Feng Xun, seeing Ye Lingyue pressured, tucked the corner of his mouth and gripped her hand tighter.

Only then did Ye Lingyue withdraw her thoughts and followed in Feng Xun’s steps towards the front.

Originally Ye Lingyue had been concerned about how to find Yue Mei in such a large Underground Well Palace, but it seemed she had worried needlessly now.

Because the noise from the opening of the Demon Awakening Gate was simply too loud.

Ahead, an elderly man was seen standing shoulder to shoulder with Yue Mei.

Since both of them had their backs turned towards Ye Lingyue and the others, and Ye Lingyue did not dare to move forward, she could only see their silhouettes.

The elderly man wore a cyan-grey long robe, his hair and beard mixed with black and grey, presumably, he was the Sifang City Lord.

Ye Lingyue dared not make a sound.

Due to the issues with Chen Mu and An Yang, Yue Mei was late. Yet, she acted as if nothing had happened, not even offering an apology.

This annoyed the Sifang City Lord, his beard quivering in anger, his mood very sour.

”City Lord, we can begin now.”

Yue Mei, who had just walked in, was also quite taken aback.

She was born in the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion and had seen many Arrays.

Such as the Mountain Protection Array of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, it was a very mystical mountain array, hence she also had some study in Arrays.

However, she could not discern any traces of an array nearby; even the location of the Demon Awakening Gate was unknown.

”Miss Yue, are you sure about this? Once the Demon Awakening Gate is opened, it will not close for six hours. Moreover, during these six hours, I cannot assist you. The Demon Awakening Gate can only be open for a maximum of six hours. Once the time passes, you must exit the Demon Awakening Gate, otherwise, you might be forever lost inside. Remember, do not venture too deep, and definitely do not enter the Endless World.”

Despite not liking Yue Mei, the Sifang City Lord still informed her of the precautions about the Demon Awakening Gate.

Yue Mei was still worried about where Chen Mu and the others were hiding now and was eager for the Sifang City Lord to open the Demon Awakening Gate, not paying much attention to his words and nodding hastily.

Then, the Sifang City Lord stepped forward.

He used his finger as a brush and spiritual power as ink, his cyan-grey sleeve fluttering, and in his swiping movements, mysterious and ancient runes appeared underneath him.

Ye Lingyue saw those runes and was surprised to find that she recognized some of the characters.

After acquiring the ability of ”Spirit Language” from the Three-legged Birdman Queen, she not only understood some of the demon clan’s language but could also read it simply.

Among the runes used by the Sifang City Lord, there were a few ancient characters of ”east,” ”west,” ”south,” and ”north,” symbolizing the four directions.

There were also some tadpole-shaped characters that seemed to be the ”demon” character.

These runes, as if alive under the incantation and movements of the Sifang City Lord, began to rearrange and combine.

The runes fell to the ground and made the ground tremble slightly.

As the runes burrowed into the ground, they spread like countless bizarre totems.

Ye Lingyue, watching those runes, vaguely felt they looked familiar.

Ye Lingyue suddenly felt a pain in her hand and realized that Feng Xun was holding it, her grip tightening.

Both she and Feng Xun had taken the Invisibility Elixir, so at this moment, neither could see each other’s expressions clearly, but just from the strength of his hand, Ye Lingyue could tell something was off with Feng Xun.

A flash passed through Ye Lingyue’s eyes as she remembered something.

No wonder she found the totems on the ground so familiar; she had seen them before!

She had seen these totems, which resembled vines and would spontaneously grow and spread.

These totems, the totems used to open the Demon Awakening Gate, were identical to the strange dark blue patterns on Feng Xun’s body when he fell ill!
