Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1148: Chapter 208: Sixth Sister-in-law, Life Is So Hard

The forces of the Demon Clan are invading the five Five Elements Cities on a large scale, but for Ye Lingyue and even the City Lords of the various Newbie Cities in Huangquan City, they are completely unaware of this.

First, neither Huangquan City, Chishui City, nor Yanmen City have Five Element Spiritual Energy, so in the eyes of the Demon Clan, they aren’t of much use.

Secondly, there are too few newcomers in Huangquan City, while there are many seasoned Demon Hunters, making this place as tasteless as a chicken rib.

Since the day Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun signed up to participate in the Underground Arena Competition, they’ve secretly started training in private without notifying the Huangquan City Lord, improving their camaraderie.

Moreover, due to the Underground Arena Competition, many contestants have flocked to Huangquan City, and the city’s security has worsened, leaving the City Lord busy dealing with the chaos.

What Ye Lingyue didn’t expect was that before the Underground Arena Competition began, what awaited her was...

On this day, Ye Lingyue was, as usual, assisting the Old City Lord in treatment.

Suddenly, the Huangquan City Lord burst in angrily, saw Ye Lingyue, and without a word, grabbed her.

”There are two people at the city gate who are almost dead. Go take a look. If you can save them, do so; if not, throw them out to feed the wolves.”

Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes, knowing that the Huangquan City Lord was using her as a free Mongolian Doctor again.

Ever since knowing Ye Lingyue had medical skills, the Huangquan City Lord had gotten some sneaky ideas.

Whenever a vagrant lay unconscious on a street in the city, a drunkard was found, or someone got robbed, beaten, or assaulted—any minor injuries—the City Lord pulled Ye Lingyue over for treatment.

Ye Lingyue wasn’t foolish; she was just here as a gardener, treating illnesses wasn’t in her job description. After bargaining with the City Lord, they agreed on a half an Intermediate Spirit Stone per treatment as the consultation fee.

At the time, the City Lord agreed swiftly.

After Ye Lingyue had treated over a dozen patients, when it came time to calculate wages at the start of the month, the City Lord earnestly said the Spirit Stones would be owed and repaid later.

Ye Lingyue was nearly furious to death.

Ye Lingyue had no idea that the City Lord had already whispered to Si Xiaochun in private.

”Better to owe more, then when enough is owed, I’ll give her the entire City Lord’s Mansion and title. Don’t worry, as your City Lord, I’ve got a sharp eye. This Ye Lingyue can do medicine and Artifact Refining, and the most precious thing is, she’s shrewd and wily. Following her, we master and servant duo can live the high life.”

Poor Ye Lingyue had no clue she was already marked by the City Lord, who wished to drag her entire family along with her.

Sure enough, early in the morning, the City Lord whisked Ye Lingyue like a mother hen carrying a chick, dashing off to the city gate.

The people in Huangquan City were not at all surprised by the City Lord’s daily antics.

”City Lord, even if you’re in a rush, take a breath. Can you at least clarify who it is that’s fainted outside the city gate?”

Ye Lingyue barely managed to escape from the City Lord’s grasp.

”Two newcomers, they probably got robbed halfway through. They’re right outside, go take a look. If they’re beyond saving, toss them out right away—no need to let them die in here and cost us two cardboard coffins.”

The City Lord pointed towards the city gate.

She was murmuring to herself too.

Huangquan City hadn’t seen a newcomer in three years, but now, suddenly, three appeared in a month’s time.

Sure enough, there were two people lying at the drafty city gate.

Ye Lingyue approached and upon seeing them, got a shock. Lying there was...

”Fourth Brother, Huang Jun, why are you here?”

Ye Lingyue hurriedly moved closer, and upon examination, frowned at Huang Jun’s condition.

Qin Xiaochuan’s condition was relatively better, though—merely suffering from exhaustion and hunger, depleted from traveling day and night, causing him to faint.

Ye Lingyue quickly placed her hand on Qin Xiaochuan, sending a thread of Cauldron Breath into his body.

Qin Xiaochuan slowly woke up.

Seeing Ye Lingyue, even such a big man as Qin Xiaochuan started to wail, his Demon Sound stabbing Ye Lingyue’s head.

”Sixth Sister-in-law, is this a dream? Am I really in Huangquan City? Finally found you. I thought there’d be no more chances to see you in this life. Look at Huang Jun, that kid is dying.”

”Fourth Brother, calm down first. Tell me, what happened exactly? Weren’t you supposed to be training in Gold City? Why have you come to Huangquan City?”

It had been a while since Ye Lingyue wrote to Huang Jun and the others.

Even her Master Zi had ”replied,” but Huang Jun and the others hadn’t responded.

Ye Lingyue had been puzzled, assuming the two were engrossed in training and couldn’t reply—but who could have guessed they’d show up in Huangquan City like this.

Especially the severity of Si Xiaochun’s injuries—it was chilling.

If not for Qin Xiaochuan’s urgent travel or their good fortune in finding Ye Lingyue residing in the City Lord’s Mansion, even a delay of a day or two could mean death or disability for Huang Jun.

Regarding the city transfer issue, due to the urgency, Qin Xiaochuan had rushed without notifying Di Shen.

”This matter is a long story; I don’t really know what’s going on, just that it might have something to do with someone named Luo Yi.”

Qin Xiaochuan scratched his head.

”Ling Yue, I’ve checked; they’re newcomers transferred from Gold City. Since you know them, take them to the City Lord’s Mansion for treatment.”

Even the Huangquan City Lord had received the transfer order from Gold City a few days back and was puzzled by who would move from Gold City to Huangquan City.

No one showed up for days, and Huangquan didn’t think much of it—until these two fainted at the gate and happened to be Ye Lingyue’s friends.

Ye Lingyue didn’t dare delay, and quickly asked the City Lord for help in bringing Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun back to the City Lord’s Mansion.

While treating Huang Jun, Ye Lingyue listened to Qin Xiaochuan recount the events.

”How is it? Can Huang Jun be saved?”

Qin Xiaochuan asked anxiously.

”It’s hard to say; his internal injuries are strange. I’m trying to clear them, but it will take time.”

Ye Lingyue glanced at Huang Jun.

Huang Jun’s injuries were far worse than when he was in Gold City, and any ordinary doctor in Huangquan or other cities would probably refuse to treat him.
