Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1146: Chapter 206: Demon Energy

When Hong Mingyue woke up, it was already dawn.

The bustling brothel had already returned to tranquility.

Looking around, she found herself lying naked on the ground.

Recalling her belly from last night, Hong Mingyue hurriedly looked down and discovered several ugly marks on her abdomen, somewhat resembling a woman’s stretch marks.

Hong Mingyue gasped in shock.

She also saw traces of Canglong in the surroundings, but in the distance, there were clothes left behind, seemingly belonging to Canglong.

Suddenly, she felt something sticky beneath her, and instinctively touched it with her hand. Upon closer inspection, Hong Mingyue couldn’t help but turn pale.

Her hands were covered in blood.

”Where is Canglong?”

”Tsk tsk, beauty, isn’t he right inside your belly?”

The voice of the Ghost Valley Moth came from her body.

Upon hearing the Ghost Valley Moth’s voice, Hong Mingyue stood up in panic, and at that moment, she looked towards the copper mirror in the distance.

In the copper mirror, there was still blood on her lips.

There seemed to be a strange sensation in her throat, and a scene flashed through Hong Mingyue’s mind.

An ugly moth biting the blood vessel on Canglong’s neck, slowly sucking the blood from his body.

Then tearing Canglong’s skin, devouring his flesh and entrails piece by piece into its belly.

”Ugh.”

Hong Mingyue’s stomach churned with nausea.

”You’ve become Canglong? How can you...”

”Beauty, listen to yourself. You ate him. Haven’t you felt that your power within is more abundant than before?”

The Ghost Valley Moth replied with relish.

It is a demon, and demons inherently consume humans.

Especially since it was sealed by Zitang Su using the Shishen Refining Cauldron for two years.

While hiding in the Lonely Moon Sea, it repressed its urge to consume humans out of fear.

Finally freed from the Lonely Moon Sea, no longer under the watchful eye of Zitang Su and his obstructive Alchemy Furnace, the true nature of the Ghost Valley Moth emerged entirely.

Moreover, if it hadn’t revealed its true form to consume Canglong last night, Hong Mingyue might not have survived Canglong’s lethal strike.

Currently, Hong Mingyue is still its host, and she cannot die yet.

”Scoundrel, I’ll kill you. What have you done to me?”

”What could I possibly do but eat a couple of people? As for the Demon Marks on your belly, they are due to my increased demonic power. Honestly, the Ancient Nine Provinces is a good place, not only with Spiritual Energy but also Evil Qi. If I consume more people, perhaps my demonic power can recover. I advise you against attempting to kill me. My Demon Mark has already integrated into your body; if you kill me, you’ll die too.”

Just after consuming humans, the Ghost Valley Moth felt very full, and drowsiness overwhelmed it. Before long, it fell asleep.

Its presence had vanished.

Hong Mingyue thought about the Demon Marks on her belly, her ghostly appearance, and even her cannibalism, and she wept bitterly.

Not even when her parents died had she felt such sorrow.

What was she? Was she human or demon?

Consideration of being parasitized by the Ghost Valley Moth and exploited by Yue Mubai, even while alive, only made her objectified by everyone.

The events of last night rendered Hong Mingyue utterly despondent.

Finally, the proud and arrogant noble daughter of the Marquis Mansion lost even the last shred of dignity and confidence.

At this point, Hong Mingyue wished for nothing more than death.

She raised her palm slowly, ready to strike her skull, but at the very moment her hand fell, she couldn’t bring it down.

She didn’t want to die, didn’t want to die.

”Giggling, so young and you want to end it all; it’s such a waste of that beautiful appearance.”

The sudden laughter shocked Hong Mingyue, making her forget her disheveled state, and she shouted urgently.

”Who!”

”Girl, your memory is really poor. Didn’t we just meet yesterday?”

The voice echoed in the room.

A black spot appeared on the ground, rapidly expanding, and a person appeared before Hong Mingyue.

The person was scantily clad, with flirtatious eyes.

Seeing the person, Hong Mingyue couldn’t help but turn pale.

The person before her was none other than the prostitute she had killed in the alley the previous day.

”You, you didn’t die.”

Hong Mingyue gritted her silver teeth, disregarding her previous suicidal thoughts. She stepped forward, forming an Ice Blade thin as a cicada’s wing in her hand, and slashed towards the prostitute’s neck.

The Ice Blade embedded completely in the prostitute’s neck; with a flick of the wrist, the woman’s head fell with a thud and rolled on the ground.

Yet, as Hong Mingyue believed the woman to be dead for sure.

The head leaped up like a flea, landing securely back on the woman’s neck.

It was only then that Hong Mingyue noticed there wasn’t even a trace of blood at the woman’s severed neck.

Hong Mingyue’s body trembled slightly, fear evident in her eyes.

”What kind of demon are you, daring to appear in Shui City, or aren’t you afraid of Demon Hunters?”

The Ancient Nine Provinces and the New Nine Provinces Continent differ due to the chaotic Central Plains region, where many demons rampage.

Rumor has it that demons of Great Demon Level and above can transform into human form, concealing their Demon Energy, blending in the major cities of the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Such demons are known as demon.

Most of these demons contain a Demon Core, making them prime targets for Demon Hunters.

”Demon? If I’m a demon, then what are you? You’re not even comparable to a demon now.”

The prostitute giggled.

Her true name is Shadow Concubine, a Great Demon.

She has been hidden in this brothel for a few years, responsible for gathering information on Demon Hunters for the Demon King.

By chance, passing by Hong Mingyue yesterday, she picked up the faint hint of Demon Energy emanating from Hong Mingyue.

Trusting her instincts, Shadow Concubine determined that Hong Mingyue must be kin.

Just as Hong Mingyue attacked, Shadow Concubine went along with it, pretending to be dead.

Indeed, while hiding secretly, Shadow Concubine discovered Hong Mingyue’s ”secret.”

”I’m not a demon.”

Hong Mingyue, furious and ashamed, her face flushed with anger.

This despicable Demon Clan dared to lump her together with them.

”Indeed, you’re not even qualified to be called a demon. At best, you’re a Demon Pig. Giggle, do you know what a Demon Pig is? It’s just a host selected by the Demon Clan for parasitization. The demon inside your belly is quite cunning; it’s slowly taking control of your body and even your mind. When its Demon Marks spread throughout your body, it will break out, and your death will be a hundred times more miserable than that of the person who was eaten last night. Furthermore, you’ll be seen as an alien by the Human Clan, and even in death, in everyone’s eyes, you are a demon.”

Shadow Concubine covered her mouth, feigning extreme regret.

The color on Hong Mingyue’s face slowly faded away.
