Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1385: Chapter 445: A Fated Encounter That Passed By

Lan Chuchu only has a Demigod Body, and not many in the Divine Realm know about this, including the people of the Northern Territory; they are all kept in the dark, simply because Lan Chuchu has always taken this as a shame.

The old servants who had waited on her in her early years and knew her true background had all been disposed of by her under various pretexts.

All because Lan Chuchu had always believed that the reason Xi Jiuye refused to make her Divine Queen all these years was precisely because she carried a demigod bloodline.

Lan Chuchu’s mother was just a member of the Human Clan, but because of one night of wanton indulgence by the God Emperor, Lan Chuchu was born, so she had always been half-human, half-god.

Even later, when Lan Chuchu’s Father God kept trying to find a way to make her a true god, after the Divine Realm established Divine Rules and Precepts, even the God Emperor had no way to let Lan Chuchu completely achieve becoming a God, and that had always been a thorn in Lan Chuchu’s heart.

Because for a Mortal or someone with a Demigod Body to become a God, simply having strong cultivation is not enough; they must obtain a divine seal, and there are only two ways to obtain a divine seal: one is slaying gods, and the other is inheritance.

As for slaying gods, it goes without saying—it means hunting and killing the Divine Race, but leaving aside how difficult that is, slaughtering innocent members of the Divine Race is itself a grave crime, unless the target is a dark god who has betrayed the Divine Race.

So if one wants to become a God, the simplest method is instead to inherit a divine seal.

Though this method is called the simplest, in reality, in the past few hundred years, counting the entire Ancient Nine Provinces and the Qing Province Continent together, the number of people who, by chance, entered Divine Race ruins and obtained a divine seal would not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

And those people were either blessed with heaven-defying Luck, or they exhausted all the resources of an entire noble family to find, on the Ancient Battlefield, a super Great Power who had fallen with a divine seal of one of the fallen All Gods.

Therefore, Lan Chuchu’s Demigod Body had never been something that could be changed, but because she carried part of a god’s bloodline, her looks and lifespan were both longer than that of ordinary people; Ye Lingyue back then was the same.

However, compared to Lan Chuchu, Ye Lingyue was a bit different; she had a mother, Yun Sheng, whose medical skills were Tongtian. Yun Sheng had nourished Ye Lingyue’s body since childhood with all kinds of spiritual medicine; though Ye Lingyue was not a god, her lifespan was definitely comparable to that of an ordinary member of the Divine Race.

Back then, because Lan Chuchu was injured by the spiritual power that burst out when Ye Lingyue fell, her constitution became much worse than before, so she had always had designs on refining Ye Lingyue’s flesh and blood into a Divine Elixir.

Xi Jiuye was unwilling to hand over the Divine Elixir; he went so far as to use his own flesh and blood to refine Elixirs for Lan Chuchu, yet even so, he still could not completely solve the problem of Lan Chuchu’s constitution. This time, after he accidentally learned about the matter of divine seals, Xi Jiuye’s heart stirred, thinking that perhaps he could directly find a divine seal, and that way he could let Lan Chuchu and the fetus in her belly undergo rebirth.

Xi Jiuye had never said this out loud, nor had he told Lan Chuchu that Ye Lingyue was also only someone with a Demigod Body.

This point, Ye Lingyue had already confessed frankly to Xi Jiuye back when they first met.

Thinking of the completely different attitudes the two women had toward the Demigod Body, Xi Jiuye’s heart twitched faintly, an indescribable ache spreading through him.

Even he himself did not know why, in this stretch of time, he had been thinking of Ye Lingyue more and more often.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Lingguang’s appearance.

”Xi Jiuye, what on earth are you still thinking about? The dead are already gone. These past few years, you’ve also made inquiries—there is no longer any ’Ye Lingyue’ in this world. Besides, the one who has been by your side all these years has always been Lan’er. If there really is a divine seal in the Taixu Tomb Realm, then it’s time to fulfill Lan’er’s long-cherished wish.”

Xi Jiuye forced himself to erase that increasingly clear figure from his mind.

So Xi Jiuye returned to Xuanwu City together with the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders.

Third Young Master Jin, Yue Mubai, and the others had already gone into the city ahead of them.

But with Third Young Master Jin’s backing, Xi Jiuye’s entry into the city this time was clearly much smoother. The Half-Beast Guards did not question them and allowed the few of them to enter the city.

As they passed through the city gate, they saw a team just entering the city.

A few of them were standing under the Jiu Provinces Heaven and Earth List, their backs turned to Xi Jiuye.

”Whoa, what the hell are these two sheets supposed to be? And what are those blazing red, golden yellow, and oily green things on them, what kind of damn stuff is that?” The speaker was a tall, sturdy man with a square face and thick brows over big eyes.

”That is the Jiu Provinces Heaven and Earth List. The Heavenly Ranking represents the rankings of the cities, and the Earth List is the individual ranking.” A middle-aged woman was patiently explaining to everyone.

Judging from their clothes and numbers, that group should only be the representative team of some small city. You could tell just from the Half-beasts’ attitude toward them—they were merely from some obscure little city.

Xi Jiuye walked through the city gate.

At the very instant he turned and stepped into the gate, a woman had just finished negotiating with the Half-Beast Guards and turned to walk over.

Ye Lingyue handed over her visiting card and walked toward the Huangquan Squad.

Guangzi was also inspecting the Jiu Provinces Heaven and Earth List when, suddenly, he felt that something was off. He turned his head to glance back but saw nothing.

”What is it, Guangzi? We can go in now.” Ye Lingyue looked at Guangzi, puzzled.

”Nothing, I just felt a surge of killing intent just now—maybe it was my imagination.”

Guangzi looked around warily, muttering in his heart that his luck couldn’t be so bad that he’d run into that scumbag Xi Jiuye on the very first day in Xuanwu City.

But even if they did run into him, it didn’t matter. With the way he looked now, that blind bastard Xi Jiuye definitely wouldn’t recognize him.

”Sixth Sister-in-law, come over and take a look. This is called the Jiu Provinces Heaven List. Let’s see what rank Huangquan City is.”

The tall man was none other than Qin Xiaochuan. He was leaning close to the Heavenly Ranking, searching the ranks one by one, but he couldn’t find anything.

”You idiot, how could Huangquan City possibly get onto the Heavenly Ranking? Don’t talk about the top two hundred cities of the Ancient Nine Provinces—Huangquan City isn’t even in the top five hundred. Unless there was a bottom two hundred list, Huangquan City would definitely be on it, and it would still be at the very bottom. A Newbie City trying to soar to the heavens in one step—after taking part in the Jiu Provinces Hunting, it’s still a question whether Huangquan City can squeeze into the top two hundred on the Heavenly Ranking.”

Guangzi casually gave Qin Xiaochuan a knock on the head, his face full of disgust. Walking around with a guy whose brain grew in his ass was really lowering his own IQ.

Qin Xiaochuan rubbed his head, not only not getting angry but even grinning foolishly.

”That’s not necessarily true. Who says newbies can’t get onto the Heaven and Earth List? Look, Di Shen is already on the Earth List, and he’s even at one hundred and ninety-seventh place. You’re all from the Lonely Moon Sea as well, so the rest of you had better step up your game.”

Senior Sister Wan Yun spoke while pointing to the Earth List.

Everyone indeed saw Di Shen’s ranking.

”As expected of our Sixth Brother—he’s just a newbie and already managed to squeeze into the Earth List. Speaking of which, Sixth Brother should also be somewhere in the city. Let’s hurry in and find him.”

Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Ye Lingyue, smiling with an obviously teasing look.
