Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1290: Chapter 350: Secrets Beneath the Water

Luo Qianche’s brazen actions were clear to everyone with eyes.

Di Shen raised an eyebrow, about to say he wanted to be on the same ship as Ye Lingyue.

”The ship is here, everyone, please board. City Lord Ye, please wait a moment, a new ship will soon arrive for you.”

Luo Qianche urged Di Shen, and the Old City Lord and Zhang Quan had already boarded.

Seeing Di Shen’s reluctance, Zhang Quan teased.

”I say, Di Shen, it’s just an hour to the Main City, surely you can bear even an hour.”

With that, he winked at Di Shen.

Ye Lingyue didn’t want Di Shen to be ridiculed, so she pushed him gently and whispered in his ear.

”I’m fine, once you board, find a chance to tell the Old City Lord about what’s happening in Gold City.”

Di Shen listened, and glanced at the canal.

The waterway was built from branches of the waterfall, and although the depth was unknown, the surface was calm and appeared safe. If it’s just for an hour, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Di Shen reluctantly stepped onto the ship.

The boats in Shui City were all small, light vessels; though modest in size, they were well-built. As soon as they left the shore, they shot forth like arrows, slicing through the calm river surface, heading toward the elevated Main City.

Soon, the shore where Ye Lingyue and others stood disappeared behind the ship.

A gentle breeze swept across the deck.

Di Shen was about to speak with the Wuling City Lord, when unexpectedly, Luo Qianche squeezed beside him.

”Di Shen, your cultivation is impressive. What Martial Arts do you practice daily?”

Di Shen remained cold and silent.

Luo Qianche’s smile stiffened slightly, but she was undeterred, forcing out what she thought was a charming smile, continuing her inquiry.

”The City Lord’s Mansion has a collection of First-tier Martial Arts. If you’re interested, I can take you to observe them.”

Not everyone gets to see First-tier Martial Arts.

Luo Qianche couldn’t believe Di Shen would remain indifferent.

Di Shen wasn’t just uninterested; he didn’t even bother to lift an eyelid.

Little did she know, as the Demon Ancestor, Di Shen could effortlessly master Emperor-level Martial Arts. First-tier Martial Arts were like child’s play to him.

Luo Qianche tried speaking a few more times, but Di Shen kept his face taut, his phoenix-like eyes rigid like a dead fish, focused on the water surface. He preferred the monotonous riverside scenery over even a glance at Luo Qianche’s alluring face.

Luo Qianche was quite infuriated, and Zhang Quan, seeing this, could no longer remain silent.

He coughed a few times.

”Di Shen, the Young City Lord is speaking to you, why are you ignoring her?”

”If I speak with other women, my wife wouldn’t be happy.” Di Shen’s statement left Zhang Quan speechless, and Luo Qianche was fuming, seeing Di Shen as a rotten unbreakable egg—both foul-smelling and stubborn.

It was all Ye Lingyue’s fault; even absent, she clung to Di Shen’s heart.

Cold air drifted beneath Luo Qianche’s eyes.

No longer seeking trouble, she paced to the side.

The Wuling City Lord realized Di Shen’s behavior might offend, and that once they entered the Main City, troubles would be inevitable.

But knowing Di Shen’s temperament, he refrained from persuading, engaging in casual conversation instead.

Di Shen succinctly informed the Old City Lord about Gold City.

Meanwhile, Luo Qianche took advantage of the chitchat, her eyes ominously focused on the water.

Suddenly, something darted beneath the placid surface.

”By now, the woman Ye Lingyue and her crew should also be on their ship. If her ship were to encounter...”

Luo Qianche’s fingers glided over the water.

A few droplets fell, causing ripples that expanded from small circles to large ones.

The ripples grew larger, spreading toward distant waters.

On the riverbank, Ye Lingyue and Senior Sister Wan Yun boarded their ship.

”Tsk, Ling Yue, you really trust letting Di Shen and that Young City Lord together. Her intentions toward Di Shen are as clear as day to onlookers.”

Huang Jun voiced his grievance for Ye Lingyue.

”I trust him.”

Ye Lingyue’s single sentence spoke volumes.

She and Di Shen had shared Life and Death, and their bond transcended typical romantic connections.

For her, Di Shen was not just a lover, but family, a crucial part of her life.

”Besides, I’m curious what tricks Luo Qianche might attempt.”

The boat calmly entered the water.

With the gentle breeze, the tension everyone had felt for days eased.

On the boat, everyone was deep in thought.

Senior Sister Wan Yun pondered over the Taixu Tomb Realm, while Qin Xiaochuan muttered about a beautiful performing girl; Ye Lingyue scanned the ship with spiritual power.

She remained uneasy about Luo Qianche.

The most relaxed among them was the carefree Huang Jun, who looked around from the bow.

”Wow, ships in Shui City operate without a sailor and navigate on their own, truly marvelous.”

”These boats are called Water Arrow Ships; inscribed inside are arrays allowing navigation with water. Each of the Newbie Cities, especially Five Elements City, has unique aspects or Town Treasures. For example, Gold City’s Vajra, Shui City’s Water Arrow Ship, or Earth City’s Thousand-mile Man proficient in earth escape techniques. You’ve only just arrived in Ancient Nine Provinces, everything seems novel. Once you venture into the Ancient Battlefield alone, you’ll encounter more mutant people and wonders.” Senior Sister Wan Yun explained.

Each has its charm, or foundation.

Huangquan City, long insignificant, partly due to lacking distinction.

It seems, to subdue the City Lords, achievements are necessary.

However, Huangquan City lacks resources, geographical advantage, and strong leadership—how could it rise?

”Water Arrow Ships and Water God Waterfall are notable features, but once you enter Shui City’s Main City, its true uniqueness will be revealed. When Ling Yue clashed with that Young City Lord earlier, my heart was tight. Ling Yue, take my advice: during your stay in Shui City, avoid conflict with the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Senior Sister Wan Yun expressed her concern.

”Why, Senior Sister Wan Yun? You’re not the type to fear others, besides, that Luo was the one picking on Ling Yue first.”

Huang Jun spoke up for Ye Lingyue.

”Simply put, Shui City’s City Lord’s Mansion differs from others, as their Luo Family People are considered Water God Bloodline.”

Senior Sister Wan Yun gestured toward the vast waterfall behind Ye Lingyue.
