Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 958: Chapter 18: The Struggle Between New and Old Miscellaneous Servants

Ye Lingyue set down the Huanyu, her mind still somewhat in a daze.

Was she hearing things? Little Di Shen could speak now and he called her ”wife”...

She felt a mix of laughter and tears welling up. If this news spread around, the rumors would surely become even more outrageous.

Ye Lingyue shook her head, staring at the empty small bedroom.

”No matter what, life must go on, and cultivation must not be neglected.”

Ye Lingyue sat cross-legged and entered Hong Meng Heaven.

Before she started cultivating, she glanced at the Cauldron Seal in her palm; the Cauldron Spirit still hadn’t awoken.

She secretly made up her mind; she must quickly gather enough Spirit Stones to find a way for the Cauldron Spirit to recover as soon as possible.

The night passed without incident. Ye Lingyue opened her eyes, feeling refreshed, with her Primordial Power expounded a bit.

Upon checking the Spiritual Energy in her body, she found that since arriving at Solitary Moon Sea, the Spiritual Energy in Hong Meng Heaven had enriched significantly due to the influence of the area’s Spiritual Energy.

After eating some Spirit Fruit, she went to the Clothes Washing Workshop; Steward Xiao’s words couldn’t be forgotten.

Now that Little Di Shen had become Sect Leader Wuya’s disciple, as his sole family member, she couldn’t drag him down.

Just as she entered the Clothes Washing Workshop, a shadow suddenly swooshed towards her. Had it not been for Ye Lingyue’s quick reflexes, she would have been struck by it.

The shadow landed with a bang on the solid bluestone pavement, instantly forming a large pit, with stone chips flying.

Ye Lingyue fixed her eyes on it; the shadow was a large iron barrel, wider than her waist and taller than a person.

Before her stood two domineering old servants.

They were around sixteen or seventeen. It seemed they’d been at Lonely Moon Sea for several years now.

At that moment, their hands were on their hips, wearing expressions of arrogance, looking at Ye Lingyue sideways.

”I’m Fang Rou, the leader among the old servants of the Clothes Washing Workshop. Are you the newbie with the separate small courtyard? What’s your connection to Steward Xiao?”

At the Clothes Washing Workshop, whether old or new, all servants slept in large communal beds, the distinction being that the old slept five to a bed, while the new slept ten.

But this long-standing rule was suddenly broken yesterday.

The old servants heard that a newbie got their own courtyard, and they were all displeased.

”No connection.”

Ye Lingyue knew the visitors were not friendly.

These old servants, strong and sturdy from years of hard labor, appeared to be around the Reincarnation Second Realm in cultivation.

Upon hearing there was no connection, the old servants were even more brazen.

”Steward Xiao should have mentioned it to you, newbies should obey. Go fetch water; all other newbies have gone, you’re the slowest. Today’s task is to fill the outside pool with water.”

Because the Clothes Washing Workshop washes the clothing of the entire Lonely Moon Sea sect, it requires a huge amount of water daily.

There were no wells or underground water, so the day’s water was prepared a day early by the servants fetching it.

Fetching water was a laborious task, the old servants did not enjoy it.

With a few new arrivals, the old servants took advantage of Steward Xiao’s absence today, handing the task over to the newbies.

Fetch water?

Although Ye Lingyue had an unfavorable early life in the Ye Family, at least she was a lady cared for by her mother and Nanny Liu, never having done hard labor, or washed clothes for others.

By comparison, she preferred fetching water.

Upon checking the Clothes Washing Workshop, sure enough, there were no other newbies in sight, Ye Lingyue understood the principle of not acting rashly without knowing the opponent’s strength.

Since it’s just fetching water, she didn’t argue, picked up the iron barrel, and walked out.

Seeing Ye Lingyue ”obediently” complying, the old servants further believed that Ye Lingyue truly had no connection with Steward Xiao.

”Truly oblivious; let’s see how she cries later. Seems the tasks given by the young masters of the Outer Sect are easier than anticipated.”

Fang Rou fished out a small bag, tossing it in her hand; inside, the sound of Spirit Stones clashing was heard.

The other old servants laughed with schadenfreude.

Ye Lingyue exited the Clothes Washing Workshop and saw two square pools outside, presumably for the workshop’s washing needs.

Only two pools, twenty or more servants, yet Fang Rou and her group wanted her alone to fill one pool, while the others only had to fill the other?

Weighing the iron barrel in her hand, it was no less than seventy or eighty pounds.

The nearest water source, as Ye Lingyue knew, was Galaxy Fall, where they had been transported from.

Galaxy Fall was at least seven or eight miles away; considering the barrel, the round trip would take at least three-fourths of an hour.

Ye Lingyue furrowed her brows, realizing Fang Rou and her group were clearly making things difficult for her.

This was an impossible task.

Just then, a newbie who arrived with her, breathing heavily, carried an iron barrel to the other pool, struggling to pour the water into it.

Poor barrel only contained half water.

To fill this pool, at least five to six hundred barrels would be needed.

”Why are you still here? If you don’t fill the pool, don’t expect dinner.”

That newbie was also a Martial Artist in the Reincarnation First Path but struggling with the path and the barrel.

”Thanks for the reminder, I’ll fetch water later.”

Ye Lingyue smiled.

Once the person left, Ye Lingyue glanced back at the pool.

She subtly moved her Divine Sense, causing the barrel to instantly fill with water.

Fetching water? Is that even a task?

With Hong Meng Heaven, her Divine Sense alone could effortlessly utilize its abundant water resources.

The water from Rainbow Creek she wouldn’t spare, but the well water extracted by the Three-legged Birdmen was limitless; filling one or a hundred pools was possible without wasting even a moment.

Thus, completing the task would take mere seconds.

The remaining time was hers to utilize.

Ye Lingyue shifted her Divine Sense, entered Hong Meng Heaven, and continued cultivating, only taking pause every couple of hours to fill a few barrels at the pool.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and as dusk approached, the golden sunset rays dazzled the pool waters like a bed of gold.

The door of the Clothes Washing Workshop creaked open.

Led by Fang Rou, the group of old servants eagerly rushed out, especially the one named Ye Lingyue.

In one day’s time, filling a pool was impossible; they were prepared to see those newbies as the butt of the joke.
