Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 20

by North Night (夜北)

  To be able to become a Ring Spirit and return back to the mortal realm, posed to be highly alluring regardless whether it was a weapons spirit or beast spirit.

  The fiery skeleton carriage travelled to the end of the street become it came to a stop. Looking at the Spirit World from here, the place was dim as far as the eyes could see, stretching far beyond one’s sight.

  The end of the street joined up to a thick forest and within the dense trees, treehouses big and small filled the place. The trees in the Spirit World were not green but was of a dull black, and there was a faint glow among its trunk, branches and roots.

  All kinds of amazing spirit bodies moved about within the houses in the trees, and some of them could even float in midair, to fly into the little houses high up in the trees.

  At the entrance into the forest, outside a simple and plain little wooden house, an enormous beast with sharp fangs sticking out of its mouth was seated upon a little chair, its thick and fat palm holding a stack of tree leaves that were so dry they had turned grey, its pair of beastial eyes were narrowed up in frustration. There was a wooden table placed before it and right across the table, an enchanting man who had vines filled with purple flowers all over his body was also holding a stack of tree leaves, his leg propped up nonchalantly on his knee as he looked at the dazed enormous beast.

  “What? You’re still going to struggle further?” The enchanting man looked at the enormous beast with a raised eyebrow. Before the enormous beast, his bodily strength did not look to be comparable to that of a single finger of the enormous beast but the man continued to challenge and provoke the enormous beast’s bottomline without a care.

  “Quiet. I’m thinking!” The enormous beast’s voice was robust and powerful, and when it spoke, the table before it quivered.

  The enchanting man laughed scoffingly and raised up a hand lazily. The thin vines adorned with little purple flowers that twirled around his arm spilled a scattering of flower petals onto the ground as he waved his arm.

  “Even if I give you another day, with that dumb brain of yours, you will not be able to come up with a way to unravel it. Why do you choose to struggle so bitterly? Why not just just come out and admit defeat and hand over the Spirit Stone.” The enchanting man’s tongue was so venomous it made people turn fume hearing him.

  “Roar! ! !” The man’s words threw the enormous beast into a rage. It smashed its huge paw down on the wooden table, its massive frame towering like a mountain.

  The corners of the enchanting man’s mouth curled up with a taunting smile and the vines upon his body suddenly swirled, and before the enormous beast’s paw could fall, countless vines had already caught the enormous beast’s arm in a tight hold, not allowing it to move it a single inch downwards.

  “When you lose, you must not be such a sore loser. I’ve always said I do not like to play cards with simple minded fools without even half a brain like you. Always flying into rage at the slightest provocation. How can we even continue to play?” The enchanting man said in a lazy tone, his words sounding like his mouth was filled with venom.

  The enormous beast’s eyes glared widely at the enchanting man with his provoking words. It gritted its teeth and its nostrils flared. It continued to exert all his strength but it was not able to free its arm from the restraint of the vines.

  “You want to play rough? Shouldn’t you see how much weight you carry in the first place? I advise that you had better admit defeat obediently or I cannot guarantee that the poison will not bring you any discomfort. Although the poison is unable to harm a spirit body, but it can still make you suffer for a period.” The enchanting man continued to sit back relaxed in his chair, his mouth curled up in displeasure.

  “Oh my, is this a quarrel between between spirits? That massive beast does not look like someone to be trifled with. Little Xie, do you think that man is also a plant type Ring Spirit?” Qiao Chu was watching intently from inside the carriage, and when he saw the vines, he was suddenly reminded of Jun Wu Xie’s Little Lotus and Poppy, and he could not help but ask.

  Jun Wu Xie was just about to open her mouth to reply when she suddenly felt a surge of heat within her chest and a beam of white light shot out, through the carriage window, flying straight towards the enchanting man with the venomous tongue.

  “Big Brother Poison Ivy! !” An adorable sounding voice suddenly rang out over the almost smoking battlezone.

  The enchanting man who had a cold smile on his face suddenly saw the shadow of a fair and tender ball flying straight at him and he raised up his hand by reflex, where the vines around his arm shot out to firmly catch that lump of “unidentified flying object.”

  “Big Brother Poison Ivy! ! It’s me!” Little Lotus who was trapped within the vines in mid air waved all four of his short pudgy limbs as he wailed.

  In the instant that the enchanting man saw Little Lotus, he was startled for a moment before he wiggled his fingertips to make the vines release Little Lotus to the ground.

  “Why have you come here? Have you gotten your Master killed again? I’ve told you before, with your unstable personality, you are not suited to take up the task of being a Ring Spirit. The kid Drunk Lotus is another unpredictable one. He only knows to play with fire when he goes out there.” The enchanting man looked at Little Lotus with his brows creased, and the moment he opened his mouth, his words were just too blood vomiting inducing.

  Inside the carriage, Qiao Chu turned his head to look at Jun Wu Xie and pointed at Little Lotus who had pounced straight towards the enchanting man without any sense of shame as he said: “That fella’s mouth is really venomous.”

  Little Lotus’ Mistress is Jun Wu Xie you know! ?

  “It’s nothing.” Jun Wu Xie thought nothing of it but just that Little Lotus knows that person and from the look of things, they seem to be on rather good terms.

  “I did not! My Mistress is still well and alive and you’re not allowed to curse her!” Little Lotus snorted defensively with his nose creased up.

  The enchanting man then rolled his eyes and his gaze then swung over to the carriage behind Little Lotus, his eyes narrowing slightly.

  “It seems we’ve been discovered.” Qiao Chu said as he scratched his head.

  Jun Wu Xie had already stood up and she climbed out of the carriage. As she stepped out, her gaze turned to look at Jun Wu Yao. Jun Wu Yao did not extract his soul out from his body and had come to the Spirit World in his complete form.

  Jun Wu Yao nodded his head slightly at her, not intending to go out from the carriage.

  Jun Wu Xie and the other companions climbed out of the carriage, their translucent spirits immediately drawing the attention of the enchanting man.

  “Newcomers?” The enchanting man raised up an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the rather brightly dressed, but slightly weak spirits.

  Little Lotus was just about to open his mouth when he saw Jun Wu Xie but was stopped by a glance from her. He could only clasp his hands over his mouth as he looked at his Mistress with unblinking eyes.

  “That’s right. Haha….. We are all newcomers here.” Qiao Chu said with a sheepish laugh as he looked at the spirit.

  The enchanting man looked at Jun Wu Xie and the gang with a measuring gaze before he asked nonchalantly: “Human?”

  “…..” Qiao Chu was filled with indignance from the look the spirit gave them. [The look in this kid’s eyes looked just too disdainful you know! ? Filled with nothing but contempt!]

  [What’s wrong with human? Human spirits are offensive to you! ? Aren’t human spirits spirits as well? What you’re doing is plain discrimination! Do you know that! ?]

  The enchanting man did not seem to have any intentions of speaking to them anymore as he then lifted his head to look at the enormous beast that had been caught in his restrains before he stood up to say: “I’
ll allow you to drag it for today. Go carry on with your tasks first.” Upon saying that, the enchanting man immediately retracted his vines.

  Suddenly freed from restrain, the enormous beast that had been resisting with all his might immediately fell towards to wooden table before him.

  The tiny wooden table was crushed into splinters.

  “Poison Ivy, you scoundrel! !” The enormous beast had fallen on his face, and he was waving his fist angrily at Poison Ivy with a fierce glare.

  Poison Ivy raised an eyebrow slightly an the vines on his body started to move in a wave.

  “Say that again if you dare, and I’ll pull out your pair of fangs to use them as chopsticks.”

  “…..” The enormous beast immediately fell silent.

  Nobody would have thought that the enormous beast that was as massive as a small mountain would be cowered into silence by such a thin and small sized figure like Poison Ivy.

  Poison Ivy shot the enormous beast a glance, and then nonchalantly turned to look at Little Lotus at the side.

  “You are acquainted with them?”

  Little Lotus nodded his head.

  “Then I’ll leave them to you to lead the way. It’s been some time since you left. The Spirit World has not been too peaceful of late, so watch yourself and don’t wander around outside.” Poison Ivy left his orders, and immediately went walking away.

  Seeing that Poison Ivy had left, the enormous beast then sat up, the fear it had towards Poison Ivy disappeared without a trace. It sat upon the broken splinters of the wooden table, to look at Jun Wu Xie and the gang through narrowed eyes.

  “Newcomers, I am the spirit in charge of this area. Follow me. I’ll arrange a place for all of you to live in.” Without asking any questions, the enormous beast just led them into the forest easily, and allocated rooms for them.

  The Spirit World was highly accommodating to members who were able to come here as whether spirits were able to come here into the Spirit World itself was already a test to the spirits.

  Chapter 1968: “New Soul (2)”

  The enormous beast’s steps were slow as it led Jun Wu Xie and the others to walk into the forest. Inside the thick and dense forest, little treehouses of various sizes could be seen. The shapes of those houses were all varied and different, some with orange lamps lit up on top. But instead of saying they were lamps, they were more like a ball of spirit fire.

  “The few of you can just stay in these units here. Remember to turn on the spirit fire boxes after you go into the rooms.” The enormous beast muttered, its movements sluggish and tone of voice lazy and he did not have any other instructions for them.

  It was only at that moment that the few of time realized that the few units they were allocated to did not have any orange firelight lit, thinking that that must be how they differentiated whether the rooms were occupied by a spirit, through these spirit fires.

  Looking at the extremely small rooms, Jun Wu Xie selected one of the small little houses and she then walked inside. The moment she opened the door, Jun Wu Xie froze.

  From outside, the little houses that seemed to be only about twenty square meters at most held a completely different kind of space upon opening the door. The expansive room was exceptionally spacious and at first glance of the interior, there was at least an area of a hundred square meters. Jun Wu Xie blinked her eyes and took a step back to look at the outside of the little treehouse again.

  It was just a small little place…..

  Jun Wu Xie just did not understand how a little house that took up so little space outside could turn into such a vast wilderness upon walking inside…..

  “Space within the Spirit World can be stretched out.” A familiar voice sounded behind Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie turned her head around to look at Jun Wu Yao whom she did not know from when he had come to stand beside her, her face curious.

  A faint smile hung from the corners of Jun Wu Yao’s mouth and putting his arm around Jun Wu Xie’s shoulders, they walked towards the bedrooms. There were three rooms in the little treehouse. A living room, a bedroom, and a space that resembled something like a study, but the interior of the space was very sparsely fitted, containing only the most basic table and chairs, a bench and a large bed.

  Jun Wu Yao closed the door and then said with a smile: “Watch closely now, Little Xie.”

  Watch what? Before Jun Wu Xie could understand what Jun Wu Yao meant, Jun Wu Yao had already raised his hand and the rudimentary table in the living room was suddenly giving out a faint glow from a light touch of his finger. The mottled wooden table slowly transformed little by little under the glow, to turn into a grand and majestic marble stone table.

  Jun Wu Yao’s hand raised up slightly and he brushed his hand lightly over the table’s surface. A resplendent tablecloth with splendid embroidered patterns was then laid neatly over the table, while a set of pure white cups and flask set inlaid with gold appeared right in the middle of the magnificent looking table.

  Jun Wu Xie were wide as she stared, and if she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that Jun Wu Yao actually possessed the ability to make things magically appear out of thin air.

  “You can do magic?” Jun Wu Xie’s gaze that she was staring at Jun Wu Yao with no longer merely showed just pure and simple shock.

  Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie who was showing such a rare moment of ignorance and he could not help but laugh out loud, unable to resist the urge to pinch her fair cheeks as he said: “Although I am very tempted to say yes I can, I have to say this is not an ability I possess, but one of the rules of the Spirit World itself.”

  “What do you mean?” Jun Wu Xie was a little confused, as towards everything here in the Spirit World, she still did not understand a single thing.

  Jun Wu Yao then went on to explain: “Everything here in the Spirit World, are spirit bodies. Spirit bodies by itself actually exist out of nothing. And the Spirit World they live in is created out of a vacuum through the power of the spirit. It can be said that the very existence of the entire Spirit World is a conceived from a single thought. Hence, in the Spirit World, as long as you possessed sufficient power of the spirit, you can then create anything you imagine. In here, everything is based on the power of the spirit, like for example…..” As he spoke, Jun Wu Yao held Jun Wu Xie’s little hand and he brushed his hand over Jun Wu Xie’s arm. A bunch of pretty flowers suddenly blossomed upon Jun Wu Xie arm.

  Chapter 1969: “New Soul (3)”

  “You like it?” Jun Wu Yao asked with a smile.

  Jun Wu Xie wanted to use her finger to stoke the little flower but her fingertip passed right through it.

  “How do I cultivate?” Struck once again by how useless she was being in a spirit state, Jun Wu Xie lifted her head up to ask.

  Jun Wu Yao then said: “Follow me.”

  Jun Wu Xie followed. In a corner of the room, there was a small wooden box. Jun Wu Yao hooked up a finger and the wooden box flew into his hand.

  “This is a Spirit Fire Box. Open it and it will indicate that this house has already been occupied, and the most initial form of cultivation for you will be to use the Spirit Fire here.”

  Upon saying that, Jun Wu Yao then opened the Spirit Fire Box, and within the box, there was an orange flame burning slowing.

  Jun Wu Yao got Jun Wu Xie to sit down in a lotus position and he then picked out the Spirit Fire from inside the box and slowly placed it in Jun Wu Xie’s arms.

  That flame hovered just above Jun Wu Xie’s hands and she had only gotten slightly closer to it when Jun Wu Xie felt a strange warmth. It must be known that after turning into a spirit body, there was no need to mention about cold or hot at all as she was not able to feel any of that at all. But this ball of Spirit Fire had given her a kind of familiar feeling.

  Jun Wu Yao sat upon a chair at the side, a hand propped under his chin as he watched Jun Wu Xie seriously, instructing h
er on how to use that ball of Spirit Fire to gradually temper her own soul.

  Spirit Fire were unable to burn anything and it only had an effect on spirits.

  This was the first time that Jun Wu Xie encountered cultivation in such a manner. In essence, having come here to the Spirit World, she was in true meaning of the word, a “new soul”, knowing nothing about anything in here. Fortunately, Jun Wu Yao had been guiding her all this time as she familiarize herself with everything here.

  Jun Wu Xie calmed her heart, and followed Jun Wu Yao’s instructions as she began to use the Spirit Fire to temper her own soul.

  Watching Jun Wu Xie bathed under the glow of the Spirit Fire as she fell into a state of cultivation, the corners of Jun Wu Yao’s mouth could not help but curl up with a smile.

  His gaze then slowly drifted outside the window, as his eyes flashed with an almost unnoticeable sneer.

  Within the Spirit World’s Spirit Saint Hall, a human spirit dressed in grey robes stood before a floating crystal ball that was suspended in midair. He wore a black cloak and a large wide brimmed hat that hung low, concealing his face, where people were not able to see his countenance.

  Both his hands were circling the crystal ball on opposing sides when suddenly, a slight crack appeared on the crystal ball, the clear sound driving a shock to quake through the man’s body!

  Before he could even inspect the peculiarity on the crystal ball, a loud bang sounded and the entire crystal ball exploded. The powerful blast immediately blasted the man back to fall onto the floor.

  “Spirit Master!” Several spirits who were standing guard at the side quickly rushed to the side of the man.

  Having fallen to the floor, the hat worn upon the man’s head was also blown off, to reveal a highly wizened face. Upon that face at that moment, was written with nothing but shock. The crystal ball that had originally been whole had now shattered into countless tiny crystal fragments, scattered all around him.
