Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1002: Chapter 62: Avenging Her Wrongs

Let her stay?

Ye Lingyue hadn’t expected Zitang Su to make such a request.

If it were anyone else, Ye Lingyue would think they had ulterior motives, but Zitang Su wasn’t like that. He seemed pure and clean, not at all like someone with ill intentions.

”No, Little Di Shen is still waiting for me to return. I can try every possible way to make up for my mistakes, but I cannot stay.”

Ye Lingyue immediately refused.

The scenery here was beautiful, like the Immortal Realm, but too desolate, without a trace of human presence.

She didn’t want to stay here, even if Dugu Tian was beautiful, and Zitang Su was pleasing to the eye.

But just thinking about facing a Purple Leaf Parasol alone every day, along with a cauldron full of Demon Souls and Devil Souls, plus a weird person who never speaks more than ”ten words,” made Ye Lingyue feel uncomfortable all over.

It had only been a day and night, and she already started to miss Little Di Shen with his dough-like face, always calling her ”wife.”

Sigh, I wonder if Little Di Shen has returned yet.

If he discovers she’s not there, would that heartless little guy worry?

For the sake of finding him, she caused so much trouble; when she returns, she must teach Little Di Shen a good lesson.

Noticing Ye Lingyue’s apparent distraction, Zitang Su’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

”You are responsible for watching the cauldron.”

He spat out a few more words.

”I see, you’re asking me to help you watch the cauldron? That’s not hard, but I’m currently a miscellaneous servant; every day I have to help at the Refining Hall, or I won’t earn any Spirit Stones. If I really help you watch the cauldron, it would only be for about half a day each day.” Ye Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this guy should really change his habit of only using a few words; she almost misunderstood again.

”Miscellaneous servant?”

Zitang Su glances at Ye Lingyue, then at her slightly red-black skin from the Refining Hall’s furnace, and frowns slightly, feeling a bit displeased.

They actually let her be a miscellaneous servant.

”Yes, a miscellaneous servant, who does rough work, similar to what you do. Responsible for watching the furnace, occasionally refining some ore. By the way, how come you’re doing miscellaneous work too? Do you know Xiong Li? He’s the Refining Hall’s Manager.”

Ye Lingyue, puzzled, looked at Zitang Su.

Earlier, the Sifang City Lord and others called Zitang Su ’Lord,’ so she thought his status in Lonely Moon Sea was at least elder level among the Four Elders, but it turns out he is just a cauldron watcher too.

”I don’t know him.”

In all of Lonely Moon Sea, only Master Wuya and Ye Lingyue had names that Zitang Su remembered.

”Let’s then settle it like this. I’ll come every day to watch the cauldron fire for half a day, as compensation, until all the Demon Souls and Devil Souls inside the cauldron are refined. Then we’ll be even. It’s getting late; I have to return.” Ye Lingyue was also willing to get closer to Zitang Su. By helping him watch the cauldron fire, she might get some useful information.

”Oh, by the way, how do I get out of here? There should be an exit, right?”

Ye Lingyue hadn’t seen how Zitang Su came.

”I’ll take you out.”

Zitang Su said, and vanished into thin air.

”Where is he? The saying ’Men are so unreliable even pigs would climb trees’ really isn’t wrong; relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.”

Ye Lingyue was confused again, and there was no trace of Zitang Su around.

She sighed helplessly, looked around, and resignedly used her hands and feet, employing the Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand, to find a relatively flat rock wall. Using both hands and feet, she slowly climbed toward the mountain ravine.

Zitang Su’s figure disappeared, reappearing at the top of the ravine.

The majestic Three Realms Eagle, upon seeing Zitang Su, trembled its wings and flew over.

Earlier, its fierce demeanor vanished completely, and instead, it affectionately rubbed its sharp beak against Zitang Su’s palm.

”Hungry?”

Zitang Su opened the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag and took out a few Sand Ant eggs.

It turns out that Zitang Su was willing to attend the World’s First Refining event earlier due to this Three Realms Eagle.

This eagle, as the Guardian Divine Beast of Dugu Heaven, had followed Zitang Su up to today. Its favorite food was the nutritious Sand Ant eggs.

Ye Lingyue’s Life Qiankun Bag contained Spiritual Energy which aided in the breeding of living spirits. Earlier, those Sand Ant eggs were stored inside and, over the two years, multiplied into a large number of Sand Ants. The Three Realms Eagle thus had its feast.

The Three Realms Eagle ate happily.

At that moment, Zitang Su narrowed his long eyes slightly.

A blue shadow swept by, revealing Master Wuya hurrying over.

”Lord Zitang, last night an assassin broke into the Inner Sect, and was injured by some disciples. They said the assassin seemed to have entered Dugu Heaven; I wonder if it disturbed you?”

Just after asking, Master Wuya felt a chilly stare.

Injured, and they made her a miscellaneous servant?

That old Wuya, having been Sect Leader for too long, had gone senile.

He had requested him to find a person possessing the Power of Heaven and Earth for a whole two years. Every month, he would gloomily report back saying he couldn’t find anyone. Now, when the person finally came by herself, he almost caused her death.

Zitang Su’s purple eyes gleamed with Zi Guang.

If looks could kill, Master Wuya would have been tortured a thousand and ten thousand times by now.

Master Wuya suddenly felt his neck tighten and goosebumps all over.

What was going on? How did he feel like the Lord, who rarely showed emotion, was angry?

Could it be that due to his negligence, letting an assassin roam, had angered the Lord?

Or maybe it was because he hadn’t found the disciple the Lord was looking for?

No chance, once back, he must expedite the search!

The Three Realms Eagle cawed a few times, enjoying the misfortune.

Old man, you’re in trouble; the Lord is really unhappy.

”An eyesore.”

Without another word, Zitang Su swept his sleeve, causing a strange gust of wind.

The wind, oddly enough, swept Master Wuya away like fallen leaves in autumn, leaving no trace.

Poor Master Wuya hadn’t understood what ”eyesore” meant before he was ”cleared away.”

After driving away Master Wuya, Zitang Su waited for a while, yet Ye Lingyue still hadn’t caught up.

He couldn’t help but be puzzled; didn’t he tell her to follow?

Where is she?

Zitang Su had to turn around and return to the ravine bottom to find her.

However, after searching around the ravine, he still couldn’t find Ye Lingyue.

Just as Zitang Su was puzzled about where Ye Lingyue had gone, the Three Realms Eagle came reporting it found her.

On the steep rock wall, Ye Lingyue panted like a tired dog, her tongue sticking out.

This mountain wall of Dugu Heaven, which turtle-bastard built it? Combined with gravity’s effect, she had been climbing for four hours, from morning till noon, and barely made it one-third of the way.

Staring at the sky above the ravine, that unreachable patch of blue sky, Ye Lingyue had an urge to cough up blood.
