Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1498: Chapter 558: Captain Ye Loots Amidst the Chaos

Behind them, the Tiger-faced Leopard King’s roars continued; it couldn’t understand why it had to provoke the Azure Dragon Crocodile over nothing.

Earlier, that group of Tiger-faced Leopards scattered like birds and beasts due to the lack of control from their king.

The ground was littered with the corpses of Tiger-faced Leopards, and Ye Lingyue didn’t waste any, stuffing them one by one into the Life Qiankun Bag until it was full, finally stopping.

A dangerous beast attack was finally resolved with Ye Lingyue’s ”little strategy.”

Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing swiftly left the scene.

Eventually, they found Luo Qianche and Guangzi in the opposite direction.

Luo Qianche’s poison wound had been controlled after Guangzi’s treatment.

The color of the wound had turned from a bluish-purple to red.

Seeing Ling Yue and Bo Qing walking over side by side, Guangzi’s face lit up with joy, but upon seeing Bo Qing, he quickly squeezed between Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing like a small guard dog, separating Bo Qing by a safe distance.

”Ling Yue, why are you rescuing that annoying woman?”

Guangzi sneakily pointed at Luo Qianche.

He hadn’t forgotten that Luo Qianche was his sister’s former rival and had insulted him.

In his words, such a woman should just die of poisoning, die, die, die!

”Haven’t you noticed she’s slightly less annoying than before?”

Ye Lingyue shrugged.

She had never considered Luo Qianche a rival.

Their Emperor, from head to toe, hadn’t even given Luo Qianche a proper look.

”Seems like it; she even thanked me just now.”

Guangzi pursed his lips. Since their sister didn’t blame that woman anymore, he reluctantly stopped disliking her.

Luo Qianche also had a complex expression on her face.

She hadn’t expected to be saved by Ye Lingyue and Guangzi.

Earlier, she had scolded them so harshly.

”City Lord Luo, your injuries should be fine now. Your team members should have safely escaped to Qi Yu City. I think it might be inconvenient for you to travel alone, so why not accompany us to Qi Yu City?”

Ye Lingyue naturally extended the invitation.

Luo Qianche hesitated momentarily, nodded, and said softly.

”Before heading to Qi Yu City, I have one more thing. We were escorting military supplies to Qi Yu City this time, but due to the leopard group encounter, the carriage was left on the hillside across the road. If the supplies are lost, our entire team will face severe consequences. I hope to retrieve the carriage.”

Luo Qianche also had difficulties that were hard to express.

The Shui City team hadn’t been much more comfortable than Ye Lingyue’s team lately.

Officially, Luo Qianche and her team were divided into the Seventh-tier Team, but their main task was transporting supplies between various cities without accumulating enough merit to be transferred to core areas.

To accumulate enough Merit Points, Luo Qianche took the bold step of accepting this transportation task to Qi Yu City.

Earlier, she had heard of teams being attacked around Qi Yu City, but the scale wasn’t large, so Luo Qianche didn’t think much of it.

But unexpectedly, the loss this time was severe.

Not to mention the heavy casualties—if the carriage and horses are lost.

Her team won’t be able to accumulate merit, and might even face the risk of being downgraded.

”Are you saying participating in the Jiu Provinces Hunting could still lead to being downgraded?”

Ye Lingyue and members of the Huangquan Team were shocked; they hadn’t heard about this.

It’s not surprising that Ye Lingyue didn’t know, since the Huangquan Team is a Nine Tier Team.

Being at the Ninth Tier, naturally, no one mentioned downgrading.

Even if they fell to the bottom, at most, they would have their qualifications revoked.

”Yes, besides the logistics area, other regions of Jiu Provinces Hunting operate on a task mechanism to quickly accumulate merit. Once you enter Qi Yu City, you’ll understand.”

After speaking so much, Luo Qianche was already feeling fatigued from a day’s exertion.

”Finding the carriage is fine, but City Lord Luo, we must clarify business from personal matters. I saved you and helped divert the Leopard King, and now finding the carriage, it can’t all be for free, right? There should be some reward for the effort, don’t you think?”

Ye Lingyue blinked.

Luo Qianche was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ye Lingyue to make such a request, feeling somewhat duped about the earlier solicitousness.

The Huangquan Team members had twisted expressions, each internally acknowledging that their team leader’s character matches her actions; they always knew helping wasn’t her true nature, and even now she wouldn’t forget to take advantage.

”Are you wanting Spirit Stone?”

Shui City is rich, and if Ye Lingyue wanted Spirit Stone, Luo Qianche could reluctantly offer some, though she didn’t have much on her.

But surely Ye Lingyue, being a City Lord, wouldn’t be lacking Spirit Stones, considering the recent development momentum of Huangquan City?

Luo Qianche had a bad feeling; it seemed each time she dealt with Ye Lingyue, she suffered losses.

”We could say we got to know each other through adversity; talking about Spirit Stone would damage the sentiment. I don’t want Spirit Stone, just half of the merit from your task for the Huangquan Team.”

Ye Lingyue’s dark face was filled with smiles, showing a set of white teeth.

Luo Qianche dared to take such a big risk for this task, so the Merit Points must be substantial.

Ye Lingyue and Huangquan City had escaped from Lofang County, and after reaching Qi Yu City, were still uncertain if they’d face retribution from Elder Jing.

Merit Points were likely dwindling, and thus the Huangquan Team couldn’t enter Qi Yu City with zero merit.

So Ye Lingyue naturally sought all means to acquire some merit.

Luo Qianche’s mouth twitched, and after a long while, she reluctantly nodded.

Ye Lingyue asked her to rest, identified the location, and then went with Qin Xiaochuan to retrieve the carriage left by the Shui City.

It seemed the Leopard King and the Azure Dragon Crocodile were fighting intensely, as Ye Lingyue, Qin Xiaochuan, and Huang Jun stealthily approached the area, encountering no Leopard groups along the way.

They found the supplies that Luo Qianche and others were transporting on a slope.

Unfortunately, the horses pulling the carriage had their throats bitten by the leopard group.

There were also some members of the Shui City Team killed in the leopard group attack.

Ye Lingyue and Qin Xiaochuan looked solemn as they organized the corpses, dug several pits, and buried them.

The carriage contained over a dozen neatly stacked boxes, lightweight to lift, yet it was unknown what was inside.

Ye Lingyue instructed Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun, the two big guys, to each carry a few boxes and prepare to return to camp.

”Sixth Sister-in-law, aren’t you curious about what this shipment actually is?”

Qin Xiaochuan saw multiple locks on the boxes, indicating valuable contents, and grew more curious.

Curiosity often kills the cat, and under Qin Xiaochuan’s urging, Ye Lingyue thought about it and decided to take advantage of Luo Qianche’s absence to open the boxes and have a look.
