Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1065: Chapter 125: Beast in Human Skin

The black shadow appeared suddenly like an illusion, catching Ye Lingyue off guard.

Just as the shadow was about to escape, a faster silhouette swept out from the side, accompanied by the sound of sharp wind.

The black figure emerging from Tang Li’s body felt itself seized by a fierce aura, its movement technique halted, pinned firmly against the wall.

A hand held the shadow down, and its owner slowly turned his face, grinning at Ye Lingyue.

”Wife, let me handle this heavy work for you.”

”Little Di Shen, why are you here?”

Ye Lingyue exhaled upon recognizing the newcomer.

When she left, Little Di Shen was still practicing, and she had specifically advised him to sleep first, not expecting him to become increasingly disobedient.

”It’s cold. I couldn’t sleep alone.”

Little Di Shen teased, his face showing no redness or embarrassment.

Ye Lingyue glanced at him, then looked at the dead Tang Li lying on the ground.

The Nine Dragon Roar was still lodged in his heart, but there wasn’t a drop of blood.

”Wife, flip his body over, and you’ll understand.”

Ye Lingyue felt a stir in her heart, and using her toe, she flipped Tang Li’s body over.

At this sight, she was startled.

Tang Li’s face was gone, leaving only a smooth, faceless surface, which looked ghostly white under the moonlight, quite terrifying.

”No wonder I felt something was amiss with him from the start, turns out this guy is a demon beast. It’s called a Ghost Valley Moth, born toxic, likes to lay eggs within human bodies, and in adulthood, it devours human souls, draining their nutrients before detaching from the host to find new targets. Additionally, every time it consumes a soul, it memorizes the person’s appearance; an adult Ghost Valley Moth can even transform into various appearances.” Little Di Shen said, applying force with his hand, making the shadow beneath it emit a piercing scream.

Little Di Shen’s grip revealed a bizarre creature, covered in coarse, black fur, resembling a bat, yet also a moth.

What’s eerie is the strange pattern on its back, mirroring Tang Li’s face.

”Little Di Shen, how do you know about these things?”

What surprised Ye Lingyue even more was Little Di Shen’s familiarity with the Ghost Valley Moth.

This demon beast is unheard of on the mainland.

Ye Lingyue had never heard of it, yet Little Di Shen could effortlessly recount its origins.

Ye Lingyue even suspected it was one of the escapees when Wu Zhong opened the Demon Awakening Gate and Zitang Su sealed it, somehow infiltrating the Lonely Moon Sea.

”Oh, right, how could I know.” Little Di Shen scratched his head, equally perplexed. ”It seems I was born to know, the words just come out. Wife, don’t worry about those irrelevant matters; this demon just claimed to have poisoned you. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Little Di Shen was tense; if this matter hadn’t involved his wife, he would’ve crushed it immediately.

”Yes, you’d better release me, or your woman will surely die.”

Upon realizing it was captured by Little Di Shen, the Ghost Valley Moth struggled fiercely.

But it quickly found its efforts futile.

Although Little Di Shen was young, his hand seemed imbued with inexplicable magic power, rendering the Ghost Valley Moth unable to mobilize its demonic power, unable to move.

The Ghost Valley Moth, undeterred, started shouting.

Earlier, when it attempted to flee, it released a third poison, assuming Ye Lingyue would soon succumb.

This poison initially causes limb weakness and Primordial Power dissipation; without a cure, it quickly induces limb spasms, paralysis, leading to exhaustion and death.

During its time with Ye Lingyue and others, it noticed Little Di Shen was a fearless little devil of mischief, but the one thing he cared about was Ye Lingyue.

With Ye Lingyue poisoned now, it felt certain Little Di Shen would compromise.

”Little Di Shen, don’t listen to its nonsense. Its poison can’t harm me.”

Ye Lingyue spoke, and Cauldron Breath circulated within her, expelling several drops of a blacker-than-ink poison liquid from her fingertips.

With Cauldron Breath in her, no Demon Sun, however potent, could cause her any fear.

”How is this possible!” The Ghost Valley Moth exclaimed in terror, witnessing Ye Lingyue expel the poison liquid.

That was its most potent toxin.

”Ghost Valley Moth, you’re now caught in our grasp, I’d advise you to come clean, or I won’t hesitate to poke a few holes in you.”

Seeing Ye Lingyue unharmed, Little Di Shen didn’t hold back, starting to interrogate the Ghost Valley Moth.

Bereft of its survival card, the Ghost Valley Moth confessed everything it knew.

Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen then realized that the Ghost Valley Moth was indeed one of those demon beasts that escaped from the Doomsday Demon Sun Event.

It, along with some Devil Souls and Demon Souls, evaded the sealing but failed to escape Zitang Su’s capture.

They were brought back to Lonely Moon Sea, eventually split and refined into Demon Soul Elixirs.

Among those demon beasts, the Ghost Valley Moth had the highest cultivation and the best luck.

After two years of survival, only it and some small demon beasts remained from those original Devil Souls and Demon Souls.

Recently, it was also thrown into the Demon Refining Cauldron, resigning itself to fate, it thought its end had arrived.

Yet one particular night, for unknown reasons, the Demon Refining Cauldron’s refining was interrupted, allowing it the opportunity to escape.

Upon escaping the Demon Refining Cauldron, the Ghost Valley Moth dared not linger in the Inner Sect, eventually settling in the Outer Sect, where it unwittingly occupied Tang Li’s quarters among the miscellaneous servants, seizing a chance to attach to him.

Within just a couple months, it drained Tang Li’s original soul completely.

Even Tang Li’s lover, Feiyue, was enjoyed by the Ghost Valley Moth.

As it recounted the event, the Ghost Valley Moth exuded a smug satisfaction.

”Zitang Su? How come this name sounds familiar? Quite annoying.” Little Di Shen said, frowning.

Ye Lingyue felt a wave of perspiration.

It turns out the Ghost Valley Moth possessed Tang Li partly due to her accidental intrusion into Dugu Heaven that night, inadvertently opening the Demon Refining Cauldron.

This really was a cycle of cause and effect, inevitable karmic retribution.

If not for Little Di Shen noticing something off with ”Tang Li,” she might have truly fallen victim.

”So, all these months, indulging with Hong Mingyue... was all you?”

Ye Lingyue suddenly recalled another matter.

”Hehe, yes, that woman is indeed a stunner.” The Ghost Valley Moth mentioned Hong Mingyue with a smug expression, letting out a grotesque smile.

Just as it was about to laugh more, there was a sudden ”puff” sound.

Little Di Shen had already thrust the male sword Nine Dragon Roar into the Ghost Valley Moth’s body.
