Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1277: Chapter 337: The Great Counterattack

Situ Nan was instantly overwhelmed with ecstasy.

Such a powerful mutant power, no wonder Di Shen would disregard this woman’s ugliness to marry her.

However, after witnessing Ye Lingyue’s Power of Heaven and Earth, Situ Nan still harbored some concerns in his heart.

Only Super Major Sect and Outer Heaven with profound familial heritage would cultivate Martial Artists with such high-level mutant powers. Could it be that this seemingly unremarkable Madam Di before him is a direct descendant of some Outer Heaven?

Despite his joy, Situ Nan cast a few more wary glances at Ye Lingyue and fell into contemplation.

Yet, seeing Ye Lingyue’s plain and ordinary attire, he felt relieved.

Even if she were a direct descendant of some Outer Heaven, so what? As long as the key Newbie Cities were controlled, when the Demon World invaded, Outer Heaven wouldn’t be a match for the South Nether Empress.

”Lord Situ?”

Ye Lingyue’s call interrupted Situ Nan’s reverie.

”Madam Di, your skills are impressive. This Five Beasts Road has stumped many who tried to enter the City Lord’s Mansion. Who would have thought that the Five Beasts would pale in comparison before you?”

Situ Nan came to his senses and led Ye Lingyue inside.

Ye Lingyue entered the courtyard, seeing it divided into three parts besides the entrance. The northernmost part was Situ Nan’s living quarters, the east and west were the study and Alchemy Room, respectively. It was unclear where Situ Nan hid the lower half of the Puppet Book.

”Madam Di, the Alchemy Room is ahead. This is where I usually engage in alchemy and artifact refining. Luo Yi usually assists me here with alchemy and artifact refining.”

Situ Nan gestured and walked inside.

Ye Lingyue followed closely and stepped inside.

As soon as she entered the Alchemy Room, the Qian Cauldron in her hand trembled slightly.

The Cauldron Spirit reminded her.

”Master, the incense in this room is poisonous.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyue indeed felt something abnormal within her Power of Heaven and Earth.

So Situ Nan really fell for the setup. What she didn’t expect was his impatience to act now.

She alertly held her breath, quickly controlling the White Tripod Breath and circulating it through her body.

The poison from the incense was silently enveloped by Ye Lingyue using White Tripod Breath, preventing further spread of the toxin.

However, Ye Lingyue pretended to be physically weak, swaying slightly before collapsing on the ground.

”Madam Di?” Seeing Ye Lingyue unconscious, Situ Nan stepped closer, checked her breath, and examined her symptoms, confirming she had been poisoned.

”No matter how skilled a Martial Artist is, without understanding poison, they’re still caught by my hand. Both Xue Zhong Luo Yi and Madam Di are like this.”

Situ Nan laughed heartily and clapped his hands.

”Master, is this your new target to replace Luo Yi?”

The one who entered was the traitorous manager from the earlier City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon learning Luo Yi was imprisoned, he gloated and eagerly awaited Luo Yi’s execution.

”Why her?” Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, the manager was surprised.

Wasn’t this woman the one who caused trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion earlier? How did she infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion, almost becoming the new Guard Captain?

”You know her?” Situ Nan was puzzled.

”Not exactly know, but the one locked in the cell is her accomplice. Lord Situ, this woman’s identity is suspicious, should we investigate it clearly before refining?”

The manager felt that things seemed a bit too coincidental.

This seemingly unremarkable person possessed significant potential with her Mutated Reincarnation Power. Refining her into a Spirit Puppet might even surpass Luo Yi. Tie her up first, I’ll prepare the materials. That Di Shen will take at least two days to complete his task, we must act before he returns. I’ll start refining the new Spirit Puppet this afternoon.”

Seeing Ye Lingyue already unconscious, Situ Nan left the manager alone to watch over her.

”You wretched woman, daring to cause trouble in the City Lord’s Mansion last time, deserved to be refined into a Spirit Puppet.” The manager chuckled sinisterly, intending to revengefully kick Ye Lingyue.

Unexpectedly, before he could kick, he yelped in pain.

The person who should have been tied to the pillar stood eerily before him, kicking him right in the chest.

”You—you, come—”

Before the manager could speak, he felt a cold sensation at his throat, with a Nine Dragon Chant pointed right at it.

”We meet again, Manager. Answer my questions truthfully, or with a single tremor, the blade might be in and out.”

Ye Lingyue’s fierce gaze scared the manager so much he almost wet himself.

Daring not to speak frivolously, he nodded fervently.

”Do you know where the Puppet Book is hidden?”

Upon hearing this, the manager wore a pained expression and shook his head.

Such an important thing as the Puppet Book wasn’t disclosed to an ordinary servant by Situ Nan, which was understandable.

Ye Lingyue asked again.

”Then tell me, what happened to Luo Yi? You must at least know this, right?”

The manager nodded quickly, speaking in terror under Ye Lingyue’s gaze.

”In the cell, locked together with your friend.”

”You’ve outlived your usefulness.” Ye Lingyue was about to kill the manager.

But then she heard footsteps outside the door, knowing full well Situ Nan was returning.

”You’re lucky, I’ll spare your life for now.”

Ye Lingyue said and hastily retrieved the Life Qiankun Bag, stuffing the cowardly manager inside.

She summoned Little Wuya, transforming it into the manager’s likeness.

The door opened, and Situ Nan walked in.

He glanced at Ye Lingyue still tied to the pillar, then looked at Little Wuya in disguise.

”You leave, for the next two days, keep watch over the cell and that old fellow Yang Xuan. Without my order, no one is allowed entry. If that Di Shen returns in two days and I haven’t finished the refining, gather the Human-shaped Soldiers in the mansion to stop him. If he resists to the death, kill him.”

Little Wuya glanced at her boss, hesitated, remembered the boss’s instructions, and retreated.

Once the door closed, Situ Nan began muttering under his breath.

The entire room was instantly enveloped in a Prohibition.

The pretending-to-faint Ye Lingyue felt a coolness on her face, ”waking” up.

”Lord Situ, why are you tying me up?”

Upon seeing Situ Nan, Ye Lingyue displayed a very ”surprised” expression.

”Madam Di, you forgot that you were to replace Luo Yi as my assistant. I forgot to tell you, Luo Yi is a Spirit Puppet I refined. Only by becoming a Spirit Puppet can you truly assist me and become my right-hand person.” Situ Nan laughed, suddenly producing several iron needles several inches long, aiming them at Ye Lingyue’s top of the skull.
