Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1048: Chapter 108: Five Hundred Years of Heartache

Several days later, the Northern Territory Divine Envoy, who had been violently beaten by the Tiankui Palace Master due to the impostor incident, finally recovered from his injuries.

As soon as he recovered, he couldn’t wait to summon the Tiankui Palace Master and question him about the whereabouts of the hundred Heavenly Gang Bamboos and the Hunyuan Ancestor.

”Northern Territory Divine Envoy, earlier it was my negligence that allowed the Hunyuan Ancestor and the people from Earth Evil Prison to take advantage. Rest assured, I have already sent troops to flatten Earth Evil Prison and killed the traitor, Hunyuan Ancestor. The hundred Heavenly Gang Bamboos are also ready. The Divine Envoy can return to the Northern Territory to report at any time.”

The Tiankui Palace Master wore an apologetic expression. In addition to the Heavenly Gang Bamboos, he also prepared a large number of Spirit Stones to present to the Northern Territory Divine Envoy.

Seeing the Spirit Stones, the Divine Envoy’s expression eased somewhat.

”Hmph, since the person has been killed and the items recovered, I am not a petty person, so we can let this matter pass. However, I will still truthfully report to the Divine Master about your blunders. Remember, the matter of the Heavenly Gang Bamboos and the Heavenly Gang Palace must not be known to any third-party force, otherwise, when the secret leaks, it will be your death.”

After obtaining the Spirit Stones and Heavenly Gang Bamboos, the Divine Envoy left the Heavenly Gang Palace very satisfied.

For now, the issue was temporarily suppressed, and the Divine Envoy did not even notice the believer’s brand imprinted on the foreheads of the Tiankui Palace Master and the Heavenly Gang warriors.

The Northern Territory Divine Envoy hurriedly rushed back to the Northern Territory.

On the throne, Xi Jiuye’s face showed displeasure.

”Divine Envoy, you have some nerve. You knew I urgently needed the Heavenly Gang Bamboos, yet you delayed for over a month!”

Over the years, Xi Jiuye has been painstakingly seeking a way to assassinate his sworn enemy, the Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign Ye Beiming, who killed his father.

Even though Xi Jiuye’s strength is undeniable even among the Divine Realm Divine Sovereigns, he finds himself powerless against the Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign Ye Beiming, especially when it comes to the opponent’s incredibly overpowering Qilin Divine Body.

To slay Ye Beiming, Xi Jiuye has been racking his brains. With the help of his beloved wife, Lan’er, he finally learned that finding a highly cultivated Fang Immortal and using the thousand-year-old Heavenly Gang Bamboo could refine the Slaughter God Arrow that would break Ye Beiming’s Qilin Divine Body.

Despite gaining this method, it was nearly impossible to find a Fang Immortal with such an artifact-refining level in the Divine Realm.

Xi Jiuye searched for hundreds of years and finally, a few months ago, found a Fang Immortal wandering outside.

Xi Jiuye spared no expense and finally convinced the Fang Immortal to help him examine whether the Heavenly Gang Bamboo could be used to refine an arrow. After much difficulty, he invited the person to the Northern Territory, only to find that there was a problem with the Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

With the Divine Envoy’s prolonged absence, the Fang Immortal waited for a few days without seeing the Heavenly Gang Bamboo, became impatient, and left, expressing that he would never cooperate with an untrustworthy person like Xi Jiuye again.

Missing this opportunity naturally filled Xi Jiuye with resentment.

In a fit of rage, Xi Jiuye’s divine power surged like raging waves, attacking the Divine Envoy.

The Divine Envoy felt a heavy blow to his chest, let out a muffled grunt, and his knees went weak, causing him to kneel on the ground.

”Divine Master, spare me, I dared not. This matter is a long story.”

The Divine Envoy immediately began to explain, detailing the entire story.

”It’s all because of the traitor Hunyuan Ancestor. After defecting to the Earth Evil Prison, he deceived us of the Heavenly Gang Bamboo. Only after investigating did the Tiankui Palace Master retrieve the Heavenly Gang Bamboo.”

Just as the Divine Envoy finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck. When he looked up, he was scared out of his wits.

Xi Jiuye’s towering figure was already standing in front of him.

With a powerful hand gripping his throat, like an eagle clutching a chick, the flames of anger in his eyes were replaced by an even stronger emotion.

The expression seemed to be a mix of tension and expectation.

”Who did you say the traitor was, Hunyuan Ancestor? Where is he? I want to see him.”

Among the Main Gods under Xi Jiuye’s command, there were no less than a thousand, and there were very few names he remembered, not even the Divine Envoy before him.

However, the name Hunyuan Ancestor did leave some impression on him, because Xi Jiuye recalled that earlier, he had sent someone to the Jiu Provinces to inquire about ”that person’s” whereabouts, and it was Hunyuan Ancestor who he dispatched.

Hunyuan Ancestor had vanished without a trace, and even when Xi Jiuye sent people to find him, it was like sinking stones into the sea, with no news at all.

”Yes, it’s him, but Divine Master, Hunyuan Ancestor has already been killed by the Tiankui Palace Master. I heard even the body was smashed to ashes and thrown into the Earth Evil Prison.” The Divine Envoy was frightened by Xi Jiuye’s demeanor.

This Northern Territory figure had encountered family misfortunes in childhood and became famous on the battlefield during his youth. Now, for marrying the God Emperor’s illegitimate daughter as a consort, he was quite renowned in the Divine Realm.

The Northern Territory Divine Sovereign, who had withstood all kinds of tempests, was never fond of showing personal emotions too much, so what was the matter today?

The Divine Envoy’s astonished and reverent gaze brought Xi Jiuye back to his senses.

Is he really dead?

Xi Jiuye couldn’t describe his feelings. He released his grip and threw the Divine Envoy to the side.

”Leave the Heavenly Gang Bamboo and get out.”

At a cold reprimand, the Divine Envoy felt relieved and retreated hastily.

As he exited, he happened to encounter Divine Consort Lan Chuchu.

”Brother Jiu Ye, what made you so angry?” Lan Chuchu, with a beautiful appearance and hair like clouds, pinned with a Bright Moon Hairpin, looked even more charming and radiant in a pale yellow gauze dress.

Seeing her, Xi Jiuye smiled faintly and gently embraced her.

”Lan’er, what brings you here? If you’re feeling unwell, you should rest. I’ll take care of the Heavenly Gang Bamboo matter.”

”Brother Jiu Ye, I’ve come to tell you some good news.” Lan Chuchu blushed, lowered her head slightly, and a color more vivid than rouge appeared on her fair face. ”I carry your child; it’s been more than two months now.”

At her words, Xi Jiuye’s smile froze slightly, and his grip on Lan Chuchu’s shoulder tightened involuntarily.

”Pregnant? Haven’t you been taking the Contraceptive Pill? How could you be pregnant?”

Xi Jiuye’s words made Lan Chuchu a little dissatisfied, and she pushed his hand away.

”Brother Jiu Ye, don’t you want this child? You know, I’ve been married to you for five hundred years without offspring, and there are already rumors in the Divine Realm that say I’m a chicken that can’t lay eggs. You... you still can’t let go of Ye Lingyue, can you? Otherwise, why would you not want me to have another child after I miscarried that time?”

She said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Hearing those three words, somewhere in Xi Jiuye’s heart, a dull pain surged, like a burning fire, swiftly engulfing his entire being.

Yet his face remained indifferent.

”Lan’er, what nonsense are you talking about? I’ve already told you the reason why I don’t want children. I carry a deep sea of blood vengeance. As long as my vendetta remains unavenged, I shouldn’t have offspring. I don’t want our child to be fatherless. After I’ve killed Ye Beiming and his wife, avenging my father and the Xi Clan, we can then raise our child together.”
