Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1371: Chapter 431: Yan Jiu’s Weakness

Once upon a time, Yan Jiu also thought Di Shen would never love anyone.

If not, why would he reject Moonflower?

Moonflower was stunningly beautiful, the most beautiful in the Demon World.

She was also the most noble princess of the Demon Clan, admired by countless talented men in the Demon World.

Most importantly, Moonflower loved Di Shen.

From childhood to adulthood, Moonflower only loved one Di Shen, whether he was a downtrodden stray or the powerful founder of the Demon God Guard.

Yet Di Shen rejected Moonflower.

This happened before the dissolution of the Demon God Guard when the Old Clan Leader stepped forward and proposed that Di Shen and Moonflower get engaged.

But Di Shen refused outright, leaving Moonflower, who always considered herself Di Shen’s fiancée, heartbroken.

After that, Di Shen was ambushed, shot by people from the Divine Realm on his way to the Ancient Battlefield.

From then on, a generation’s Demon Ancestor fell.

After Di Shen’s death, the Demon God Guard split, and the Demon World was divided into two great empires.

Only Yan Jiu, who suspected the circumstances surrounding Di Shen’s death, left the Demon World and devoted himself to the Human Realm, desperately searching for Di Shen for many years.

In those years of searching for Di Shen, Yan Jiu always thought that Di Shen would never love anyone.

It wasn’t until he met the reborn Demon Ancestor that he knew Di Shen was capable of love.

If he couldn’t love, why would he shower Ye Lingyue with endless affection?

If he couldn’t love, why would he, at the risk of being sealed, in a state where his Demon Body had not yet fully awakened, unleash his fury for a woman, and slaughter the entire Hunyuan Sect?

The Demon Ancestor had love, he just saved it all for the person he cherished the most.

Yan Jiu’s words seemed to be talking to himself, yet also seemed to be telling Moonflower.

”What are you saying, who do you say he loves? He really... he really was reborn... Yan Jiu, you’ve seen him, where is he?”

Moonflower clung to the hope like a drowning person grabbing a lifesaving driftwood, caring not that in front of her was merely a cold, lifeless stele, her beautiful eyes streaked with blood.

”Moonflower, you should leave. I won’t tell you anything, the hatred between him and you all, one day, he will personally avenge.”

Yan Jiu was unwilling to say more.

He had thought that after so many years, Moonflower married Zhan Hen, becoming the Demon Empress of the Demon World, her infatuation for Di Shen would have faded.

But it now seems he underestimated the power of jealousy; if Moonflower knew of Di Shen’s rebirth, or worse, knew Di Shen had someone irreplaceable in his heart, she’d stop at nothing to kill Ye Lingyue.

”I knew he wouldn’t die so easily. Yan Jiu, if you could tell me Di Shen’s whereabouts, perhaps I could plead with Zhan Hen on your behalf for the sake of childhood ties. You know, he always listened to me the most. I’ve heard that after you left the Demon World, you even had your own experiences. Besides him, you should have other bonds, for otherwise, you wouldn’t have held back when fighting against Zhan Hen. The Yan Jiu I knew was the number one warrior of the Demon God Guard.”

Moonflower cast her eyes down, staring at the stele, all her anger and madness from just now seemed to vanish.

Moonflower, indeed an old friend of Yan Jiu’s childhood, understood Yan Jiu just as well as Zhan Hen.

All these years, the only one she didn’t understand was him.

When Zhan Hen encountered Yan Jiu in the Demon World, they had a great battle.

Concerning that war, Zhan Hen didn’t mention it to anyone, including her.

But Moonflower knew, Zhan Hen was severely injured.

Over five hundred years, it wasn’t only Zhan Hen whose strength had improved.

As one of the most powerful Sky Demons, Yan Jiu was never easy to deal with.

If he truly wanted mutual destruction with Zhan Hen, Zhan Hen might not have escaped, but Zhan Hen came back in the end.

This could only mean that at the last moment, Yan Jiu abandoned the thought of mutual destruction.

Though not knowing Yan Jiu’s reasons, Moonflower could deduce Yan Jiu now had something more important than his life.

Moonflower’s words left Yan Jiu in silence.

Indeed, at the time, he had the thought of deciding life and death with Zhan Hen.

But in the life and death moment, the image of Cai’er, and their child whom he had never met, flashed through his mind.

At that instant, his cold and strong heart softened a little.

He also thought of the Demon Ancestor’s blood and flesh still in his hands.

Too many ties, how could he simply die like that?

”Ah Jiu, just tell me his whereabouts, and I’ll let you regain freedom. Being a Mountain Guardian Stele can’t be pleasant,”

Moonflower’s finger glided over the stele, leaving a mark.

Little Jiu Nian hid behind the stele, already sweating in fright.

Moonflower and Yan Jiu’s conversation was partially comprehensible for the child he was but smart as he was, he guessed that this woman named Moonflower was no good.

She, with others, betrayed the Land God and his friends.

The Land God wasn’t always a stele; someone turned him into this.

Little Jiu Nian was extremely nervous, sympathizing with the Land God’s plight yet secretly wishing.

Uncertain if the Land God heard him, in a rush, Little Jiu Nian sneaked out his hand and silently wrote a note on the stele.

”Land God, please don’t betray your friends.

My mom said, one must be honest, loyal to friends, if you betray, I’ll look down on you.”

”Huh—Moonflower, put away your disgusting pretense. I’m not Zhan Hen; your tricks have zero effect on me. I’ll give you four words, ’No Comment’.”

A cold laughter rang out abruptly.

The smile on Moonflower’s face froze, but then she smiled again.

”As expected of Ah Jiu, even when Zhan Hen offered you a third of the Demon World territory, you wouldn’t stay, and today, you refuse freedom. Alas, you asked for it, no need for courtesies.”

With a sly glint flashing through Moonflower’s eyes as she said it.

The ground’s flower vines danced wildly like hair tossed by the wind.

Some slithered, wrapping around Little Jiu Nian’s ankles behind the stele.

Little Jiu Nian swung the dagger in his hand, trying to cut the vines, but they held firmly, lifting him upside down and dragging him before Moonflower.

”Moonflower, what are you doing!”

In fury, the stele shook.

Yan Jiu had not expected Moonflower to have long discovered Little Jiu Nian’s presence.

”Doing what? Ah Jiu, surely you must know, I’m doing this simply to make you reveal his whereabouts. If you refuse, I won’t hesitate to let the vines drain every drop of blood and flesh from this demon-human hybrid brat.”
