Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 985: Chapter 45: The Little Tyrant Shows His Might

Little Di Shen’s appearance was a surprise to Fishing Old Man, his intention being merely to play with Little Di Shen, hoping the little fellow would retreat.

Who would have thought that upon hearing this, Little Di Shen would bristle like a little tiger whose whiskers had been stroked.

”I can protect my wife right now.”

As he spoke, Little Di Shen’s small hand fearlessly reached out to grab Fishing Old Man’s bamboo rod.

Little Di Shen’s eyes were sharp, recognizing that the Fishing Old Man’s weapon was indeed that fishing rod.

Fishing Old Man watched Little Di Shen move, eyes filled with interest.

Little Di Shen was taken as a disciple by Master Wuya and had received Primordial Power Infusion from him, awakening his Spiritual Wisdom at such a young age.

It’s said the little guy has great talent, and Fishing Old Man wanted to see the abilities of the Little Di Shen who was praised by Elder Feng and Master Wuya’s other disciples.

Fishing Old Man shook his rod slightly, and the hair-like fishing line drew a golden arc mid-air, looping around, seemingly about to wrap Little Di Shen like a dumpling.

”Fishing Old Man, spare him.”

Ye Lingyue saw this, fearing that Fishing Old Man would injure Little Di Shen.

Little Di Shen’s expression remained unchanged, his big eyes like two deep pools, staring at the cunning rope-like fishing line.

His small body began to sway slightly.

His figure transformed into several illusions in front of Ye Lingyue, evading the fishing line’s attack.

Then, his two little hands suddenly reached forward, directly grasping the sharp fishing hook on the fishing rod.

The fishing hook pierced Little Di Shen’s hand, bright red blood pearls immediately emerged.

Little Di Shen seemed unaware of the pain, his eyes suddenly turning a shade of golden red.

He took a deep breath, his throat moving, and spat out a mouthful of muddied energy.

His arms like tender lotus roots, as if charged with tremendous power, suddenly swung, actually throwing Fishing Old Man and his fishing rod, together, away.

Fishing Old Man’s eyes flashed with a hint of shock.

What a remarkable force.

Fishing Old Man was forced to release his grip, the fishing rod falling into Little Di Shen’s hands.

”Little Di Shen, stop causing trouble, or I’ll ignore you.”

Ye Lingyue hadn’t anticipated Little Di Shen’s sudden anger; she hurriedly grabbed Little Di Shen’s hand, seeing his smooth palm torn open by the fishing hook, feeling both heartache and self-blame.

When facing Fishing Old Man, Little Di Shen seemed steady as Mount Tai; upon seeing his wife become teary-eyed because of his injury, he panicked immediately.

He threw the fishing rod aside, pleading softly.

”Don’t be angry, wife, I’m wrong.”

He hung his head dejectedly, slumped, no longer showing the earlier little tyrant demeanor.

He dared not move a muscle, allowing Ye Lingyue to stop the bleeding.

Seeing this, Fishing Old Man’s eyes flickered.

Seeing Fishing Old Man studying him and his wife thoughtfully, Little Di Shen was displeased again.

”Old man, what are you looking at? My wife is mine alone, no peeking.”

Little Di Shen’s manner caused Ye Lingyue more headaches; she reached out and flicked his forehead gently, the latter grimaced but quickly settled down quietly.

Fishing Old Man stood by, finding it somewhat amusing.

He realized that Little Di Shen’s talent was indeed extraordinary.

This child’s future accomplishments, might even surpass Master Wuya.

But he is fickle, demanding whatever he wishes, a genuine little tyrant.

Such a temperament, if left unchecked, might lead him astray, fearing nobody could control him.

But with Ye Lingyue around, everything changed.

This girl seemed reckless but was in fact measured; as long as she was around, Little Di Shen would behave obediently.

Ye Lingyue was the one who initially brought him to the Lonely Moon Sea; he was shortsighted and overlooked, thus failing in his duties.

Repairing the pen after sheep escape was too late; it would be better to use people wisely.

Ye Lingyue finished bandaging Little Di Shen’s hand, and returned the fishing rod to Fishing Old Man.

”Ye Lingyue, I can overlook your background and age. Let me ask you, was it you who repaired my broken fishing rod?” Fishing Old Man thought about this aspect and wouldn’t pursue Ye Lingyue’s past.

”I repaired that fishing rod, Lord Chief, is there an issue, or doesn’t it work well for you?” Ye Lingyue, seeing Fishing Old Man not pursue, also breathed a sigh of relief.

”This fishing rod has been with me for seventy years. It has a name, Emperor of Fishing, forged by a deceased Artifact Refiner at Lonely Moon Sea. You both should see it, for others it’s just a rod, but for me, it’s also a weapon. But unfortunately, my friend didn’t finish the fish rod before passing away.” Fishing Old Man didn’t answer directly, instead engaging Ye Lingyue with the fishing rod’s history.

Emperor of Fishing?

What a formidable name?

Ye Lingyue scrutinized the fishing rod, knowing it wasn’t ordinary.

The rod, from the pole to the hook, was crafted entirely from Nirvana Iron, and the line was made from Ninth-grade Spirit Silkworm silk.

Its value certainly rivaled Ye Lingyue’s pair of Female and Male Nine Dragon Chant.

But the precondition was, the rod must be complete.

”Although unfinished, I’ve kept it by my side all these years. Until it was broken previously by the little guy beside you.”

Fishing Old Man sighed.

After Ye Lingyue returned the repaired Emperor of Fishing, Fishing Old Man hadn’t thought much of it.

Until Fishing Old Man used it several times subsequently, especially today beside the Galaxy Fall, he caught a Dragon Carp with Emperor of Fishing.

Ye Lingyue wasn’t aware that Dragon Carp was an extremely rare Spirit Fish.

Fishing Old Man had fished all his life, yet never caught a Dragon Carp.

Many years ago, Fishing Old Man’s old friend had said, only a perfect Emperor of Fishing could catch a Dragon Carp.

Fishing Old Man was dumbfounded at the time.

He hurriedly inspected the fishing rod, discovering that the rod repaired by Ye Lingyue was of higher quality than before.

He realized Ye Lingyue to be a rare forging talent, leading Fishing Old Man to investigate Ye Lingyue’s identity, discovering she had participated in the World’s First Refining competition.

”I have decided to move you to the Refining Hall of the Outer Sect. I hear your family originally came from refining background.” Fishing Old Man invited Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen, leading them towards the Refining Hall of the Outer Sect.

Late at night, most disciples and miscellaneous servants on Sea Star Island were resting, except for a large courtyard on the island’s far west side, which remained brightly lit.

From the courtyard, the sound of clinking echoed intermittently.
