Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 870: Chapter 739: The New Hong Meng Heaven

After the Dong Envoy left, Ye Lingyue felt somewhat agitated.

If it were in the past, she could easily discuss this matter with Feng Xun, but the suspicion from last night and the state of An Qiniang’s death made Ye Lingyue hesitate.

In her mind, Feng Xun’s warm and sunny face instantly transformed into Wu Zhong’s golden mask, overlapping the two faces together.

Ye Lingyue’s heart tightened involuntarily.

The killing of An Qiniang had already alarmed the upper echelons of Sifang City; now was not the time for any more disturbances.

Ye Lingyue sighed, unwilling to dwell further on the matter, and decided to enter Hong Meng Heaven instead.

So much had happened recently that she hadn’t had time to attend to the affairs of the Three-legged Birdman Tribe, nor did she know how they had been getting along.

As soon as Ye Lingyue entered Hong Meng Heaven, her ears were filled with a cacophony of chirping sounds.

On the grassland, like a velvet carpet, sat hundreds of Three-legged Birdmen, both old and young. The youngest were equivalent to two or three-year-old human children, while the oldest were in their seventies or eighties.

They were gathered around a weirdly shaped sunflower, babbling words like ”human” and ”Queen” like infants learning to speak.

The sunflower, needless to say, was Little Qiu Tian.

After being ”forced” to take charge of these Three-legged Birdmen, the first thing Ye Lingyue had to do was teach them human language.

In Ye Lingyue’s view, the Three-legged Birdmen could only possibly learn human civilization and become a powerful Demon Tribe if they mastered human language and writing.

However, Ye Lingyue herself could not spend extended time teaching them human language and writing, and her own little beasts, Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, hadn’t fully matured into Divine Beasts, so naturally, they couldn’t teach the Birdmen.

Contrarily, Little Qiu Tian, who possessed some of Lady Qiu Tian’s memory, was the perfect mentor.

Lady Qiu Tian had lived for a thousand years on the Qing Province Continent, having delved into the languages of both humans and demons.

Thus, Ye Lingyue let Little Qiu Tian conduct daily lessons, teaching these Three-legged Birdmen basic language and writing.

This was the scene Ye Lingyue witnessed today.

Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, the Three-legged Birdmen cheered and surrounded her, chanting ”Queen.”

Although their tone was peculiar, each Birdman’s eyes shone with respect and admiration.

Unknowingly, these Birdmen had already spent some time in Hong Meng Heaven.

From initially feeling uneasy in the unfamiliar environment to having those feelings completely dissipate, it was but a few days.

Here, there were no natural enemies for them, only the sweetest water and food. For the Three-legged Birdmen, Hong Meng Heaven was simply paradise.

In their eyes, they began to accept the new Queen, who looked entirely different from them.

Their Queen was held in the highest esteem by the Birdmen, who offered their most precious items, from a beautiful feather to roughly made weapons and jewelry, as gifts to Ye Lingyue.

Looking at their sincere faces, the unpleasant feelings in Ye Lingyue’s heart dissipated significantly.

She suddenly realized that compared to the deceitful and cunning people of the Qing Province mainland, these beings called demons or demon beasts, the Three-legged Birdmen, were far more straightforward and lovable.

Something in her heart was unexpectedly touched.

If she could accept a group of unfamiliar demons, regarding them as her subjects, why couldn’t she accept the possibility that Feng Xun and Wu Zhong might be one and the same?

Perhaps it wasn’t entirely the idea of Feng Xun being Wu Zhong that she couldn’t accept, but rather the fact that Feng Xun (Wu Zhong) hadn’t honestly told her.

Or maybe he didn’t know how to begin.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but recall what Princess Qingfeng had told her—about dreaming of a Black Sun entering her body while pregnant.

Wu Zhong’s appearance might well be connected to that Black Sun.

Reflecting on the similar patterns on Feng Xun’s body and the Demon Awakening Gate,

Ye Lingyue even suspected the connection between Feng Xun, Wu Zhong, and the Demon Awakening Gate; she silently decided to find an opportunity to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Alas, it would be best to wait until after the finals of the World’s First Refining before conducting a detailed inquiry.

”Master, I have something here that I need to give you.”

Having experienced the enthusiasm of the Three-legged Birdmen, Little Qiu Tian, seeing her master lost in thought, assumed that Ye Lingyue had a headache figuring out how to handle them, so it took care of scattering the Birdmen.

With a twist of the Flower Vine, a Martial Arts Stone Carving appeared atop it.

”Han Yue Sword Technique? Isn’t this martial arts from the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion? Little Qiu Tian, where did you get this stone carving?” Ye Lingyue exclaimed.

As it turned out, after Little Qiu Tian imprisoned Yue Mei from the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion that day, it searched her body during her unconsciousness and found this stone carving.

Initially, Little Qiu Tian planned to also steal other treasures from Yue Mei’s body, but unfortunately, Monk Nan Jiu arrived too swiftly, forcing it to only take the Martial Arts Stone Carving.

”You’ve truly performed a great deed this time by acquiring the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion’s martial arts, Little Qiu Tian,” Ye Lingyue rejoiced.

Her power had broken through the Second Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, equivalent to the Reincarnation Third Layer, but without a sect, Ye Lingyue’s highest attack Martial Arts had stagnated at the Little Infinite Finger.

Though she merged Little Infinite Finger with Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, the potency was indeed limited.

However, with the Han Yue Sword Technique, that changed.

The Han Yue Sword Technique was third-tier martial arts from one of the Three Sects, the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion; mastering it would undoubtedly be a significant support for her.

Ye Lingyue conversed with Little Qiu Tian for a few more moments.

”My Queen, everything proceeds per your orders; the new housing has been built, and this list in my hands records the names of the most adept Three-legged Birdmen,” Batu approached while speaking.

In Ye Lingyue’s absence from Hong Meng Heaven, Batu handled all affairs there.

Batu, along with some young members of the Three-legged Birdman Tribe, utilized the soil and branches in Hong Meng Heaven to construct a substantial amount of new housing.

Per Ye Lingyue’s instructions, it made careful observations and maintained various records, although Batu wasn’t aware of Ye Lingyue’s specific intentions.

”In a while, I’ll send them out of Hong Meng Heaven to learn basic crafts like forging, brewing, and weaving. Also, you must select the most courageous and battle-hardy warriors from your tribe; I have some Martial Arts Stone Carvings, and I’ll teach them Primordial Power and Basic Martial Arts—I aim to transform your tribe into a brand new Birdman Tribe.” Ye Lingyue glanced at the list in her hand, advising.
