Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1151: Chapter 211: Underground Arena Competition

Seeing someone enter the city, Huang Jun and Qin Xiaochuan immediately looked over.

Though both were quite upset with the Huangquan City Lord’s exploitative behavior, complaints were one thing, but since they were guards, they naturally had to pay attention to those entering the city.

Lately, due to the Underground Arena Competition, there were many unfamiliar faces entering Huangquan City, and the security had correspondingly gotten worse. Some were even from other cities, and the city lord had instructed them to watch carefully.

Both had good memories, and this young man and woman in front of them, they had never seen before.

The man was dressed as a scholar, in a light blue robe, his face only average in appearance.

Such a look, put him in a crowd, and he’d be easily overlooked.

But the woman walking beside him was different.

The woman, in her teens, was dressed in an exotic style, in a brightly colored belly-revealing gauze dress, adorned with various gemstone bracelets on her ankles and wrists, exuding a fiery aura.

Not only that, the woman was barefoot, her white tender feet alluring endless imagination.

In a place like Huangquan City, such a woman’s attire immediately drew many unkind gazes,

but the woman seemed completely indifferent to this.

Huang Jun stepped forward to question them briefly, confirming they were here to participate in the Underground Arena Competition, with identification showing they came from a city called Shan City in Ancient Xu State.

Once confirmed there were no issues, Huang Jun let them pass.

”That couple...”

Qin Xiaochuan watched them as they walked past, and suddenly, he caught the man’s glance.

The man nodded with a friendly smile.

”What’s wrong? Is it because the girl is too pretty? To be honest, that woman is indeed bold, daring to dress like that in Huangquan City.”

Everyone has an appreciation for beauty, and Huang Jun enjoyed looking at beautiful women, but he harbored no improper thoughts.

”No, I just feel something’s not right. That man makes me uncomfortable.” Qin Xiaochuan had an inexplicable dislike for the ordinary-looking man.

Especially when he looked at him earlier, with that faux friendly demeanor.

Oh right, Qin Xiaochuan realized why he disliked the man.

It was because the man gave him the same feeling as Yue Mubai from Moon Peak.

S seeming friendly, but in fact, always doing hypocritical things.

”Oh, you just envy them for participating in the Underground Arena Competition. Too bad Ling Yue already agreed to team up with Xiao Chun for the competition. If we weren’t both men, we could have joined too and possibly repaid all our debts if we got lucky.”

Huang Jun dismissed it lightly.

In fact, he’d only seen Yue Mubai once or twice, didn’t even remember what he looked like, only knew that Yue Mubai was an arrogant person.

Qin Xiaochuan pondered, wondering why Yue Mubai would appear in Huangquan City.

In his eyes, this backwater place called Huangquan City was probably somewhere he’d never deign to visit.

Not to mention, Yue Mubai had always been a loner; why would he flamboyantly bring along a beauty?

Huang Jun shrugged and went back to guarding the city gate.

Qin Xiaochuan watched as the couple disappeared down the long street, his expression heavy.

This time, Qin Xiaochuan’s guess was spot on.

The pair was indeed Yue Mubai and Fire Spirit Ziyan in disguise.

They were there for the Sky Wolf Stick, and upon arriving in Huangquan City, Yue Mubai found out this time the Underground Arena Competition required male and female pairs to sign up.

Hong Mingyue hadn’t completed the Newbie Period and had other tasks, so Yue Mubai had to bring Fire Spirit Ziyan.

Although Fire Spirit Ziyan was a spiritual body, she could maintain human form for short periods, looking quite authentically like a woman.

Yue Mubai, being cautious, worried about running into Ye Lingyue in such a small place as Huangquan City, specially altered his appearance.

Fire Spirit Ziyan, rare to go out with her beloved, naturally didn’t want to disguise herself as ugly, thus her striking outfit.

After settling in an inn in the city, Yue Mubai closed the door, his expression darkening.

”I never thought Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun would be in Huangquan City too.”

”You mean those two monkey-like men at the city gate?”

Fire Spirit Ziyan curled her lip; after following Yue Mubai, no ordinary man caught her fancy.

In her eyes, no one was more outstanding than Yue Mubai.

”They’re with Ye Lingyue, and it looks like Qin Xiaochuan has even broken through.”

Yue Mubai previously just had someone tail the people from Yanmen City and Wuling City, neglecting the newbies from other cities.

He never considered Qin Xiaochuan worth his while, but if he’d already broken through within a month of being in Ancient Nine Provinces, then Qin Xiaochuan needed reassessment, Yue Mubai even contemplated whether or not to take care of Qin Xiaochuan too.

”If you don’t like him, I can just burn him to ashes with a fire.”

Fire Spirit Ziyan laughed, her white tender feet swinging in front of Yue Mubai’s eyes.

”Don’t act rashly; this is still someone else’s territory. Huangquan City also has local forces and the City Lord’s Mansion. Though they say the Huangquan City Lord is just a figurehead, to my knowledge, that woman is not to be underestimated. Otherwise, how could she have become a city lord? Before we get the Sky Wolf Stick, I don’t want to cause trouble.”

Yue Mubai immediately went with Fire Spirit Ziyan to the Underground Bank to sign up for the Underground Arena Competition.

With that, the last day for signing up for the Underground Arena Competition ended.

On the day the Underground Arena Competition began, Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun arrived early at the Underground Bank.

As soon as they entered, they were startled by the scene before them.

The hall, designed to hold a hundred people, had crammed in at least five to six hundred.

Two to three hundred pairs of male and female contestants, all varying in appearance and cultivation, but most were in the Reincarnation Fourth and Fifth Paths, ages ranging from young to old, all waiting for the Underground Arena Competition to start.

With such a large number of participants, it obviously couldn’t be completed in one day.

It seemed they would be grouped, and the competition might last four to five days.

Fortunately, Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun had already found an excuse and taken leave from the Huangquan City Lord.

”Is the competition to take place here?”

Ye Lingyue was curious, as there was no arena in sight nearby.

”Not at all, the location for the Underground Arena Competition has always been mysterious. Someone should lead us there.”

Si Xiaochun was sweating in his palms; it was his first time participating in an event like this.

As expected, not long after Si Xiaochun finished speaking,

a henchman from the Underground Bank came over.

”Have you decided to participate in the Underground Arena Competition? If so, sign this Life and Death Contract first.”

They had to sign a Life and Death Contract?

This was something they were not informed of beforehand.

Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun exchanged glances.

”Oh, look, another pair of newbies. Obvious first-timers in the Underground Arena Competition, fearful for their lives yet still signing up.”

A sarcastic, mocking voice came from the side.

Ye Lingyue’s eyebrows furrowed as she looked over.
