The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Feng Ruqing laughed. “Do you hate to leave these spirit beasts?”

“No, I don’t. I only like big doggie. But Brother Fu Chen once taught me that we must know how to differentiate between love and hate. Those who bullied me, I can bully them back. But if… they didn’t bully me, I can’t hurt them.”

As much as she wanted to eat some meat…

Feng Ruqing sighed. “Sometimes, the human heart is more complicated than the spirit beasts’.”

Little Qing Han smiled. “Mother, just now when the spirit beasts were talking, I heard that they wanted you to stay because you are the only one who won’t hurt them and the only one who can protect them. So, they want you to be the king and refuse to let you go.”

Who said spirit beasts were foolish?

They were very clear and understood who could be their benefactor.

“So, why did they relent?”

“Oh, it was the big rabbit that said that you were not the opponent of that Lord. If you stayed, it would only increase the casualties, so the spirit beasts were willing to let you go.”

Feng Ruqing fluttered and stopped.

Little Qing Han did not stop quick enough so her little nose bumped against Feng Ruqing’s back. Her eyes started brimming with tears of pain as she stared at Feng Ruqing with her innocent eyes.

Feng Ruqing suddenly smiled. “I forgot, I don’t know how long I will stay in this secret realm and I don’t even know how to leave this place. So there is nothing wrong with being the king of spirit beasts. At least… Those spirit beasts can help me find my way back.”

Perhaps they could also find whatever that had summoned Little Qing Han.

She always felt that these spirit beasts could not be taken out of the secret realm. But she forgot that even in the secret realm, she needed a force.

Since the spirit beast and humans were equivalent, she would instead choose the forest beasts’ side.

“Come on, Qing Han. Let’s go back.”

Feng Ruqing smiled and held Qing Han’s hand. They slowly turned around and walked in the direction of the beast forest again.

Little Qing Han blinked, staring blankly at the young girl beside her.

She did not understand. ‘That was the reason why Mother wants to go back?’

But Little Qing Han always felt there was another reason that she did not know…

***

In the beast forest.

The spirit beasts’ eyes were red with anger as they stared at the men in black standing in front of them.

Their hairs bristled and all of them were ready to fight.

“I accidentally sent a signal when at death’s door, that the spirit beasts have revolted. Looks like it really happened. As my lord’s slaves, how dare you do so. Are you tired of living?”

The leader, who was a middle-aged man, laughed scornfully. He gave them a sneering and contemptuous glance.

He took a barbed hook in his hand and stabbed it viciously into a black wolf’s abdomen. With one hard yank, the wolf’s intestines were pulled out of its body.

The black wolf did not react but simply collapsed to the ground.

Blood gushed out of its body and splashed all over the place. The scene was gory in everyone’s eyes.

“Howl!”

“Roar!”

“Chee-chee!”

“Woof!”

All the spirit beasts were burning with anger as they rushed toward the group of black-dressed men without any scruple. The cruel and bloody light sparked in their fierce eyes.

This time, they would rather be wiped out in a battle than being oppressed by any threats!

The big rabbit had not yet recovered, but the king of the rabbit clan was dead. As the queen, it must rise and fight all the dangers and tribulations.

The only thing that made the big rabbit relieved was that the kind human was gone.
