Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 17

by North Night (夜北)

  As a disciple of the Spirit Jade Palace, Zi Jin would naturally want chaos to spread within the Twelve Palaces, the more chaotic the better, and this was a show that she would definitely not want to miss.

  Jun Wu Xie listened to Zi Jin’s words quietly and as expected, Zhuge Yin who was sitting not too far off had a darkened face and Gu Xin Yan had her head lowered all the while with nobody having any clue what was going through her mind but was acting just like what Zi Jin had said.

  But…..

  Jun Wu Xie still felt that something still did not feel right.

  She had encountered Gu Ying before and Gu Ying was in no way an obedient person that would take orders from anyone. With the kind of personality Gu Ying possessed, if he was displeased by the way Zhuge Yin acted, even with the halo of being the Dragon Slayers Palace’s Young Lord over his head, Gu Ying would not hesitate to have him spill blood spraying several feet away, even if that meant stirring up a bitter feud with Zhuge Yin before everyone. Moreover, he had supposedly been dissuaded by just a few words from Gu Xin Yan and that was one point that did not coincide with Gu Ying’s personality at all.

  In addition to that…..

  When Jun Wu Xie’s gaze fell upon Gu Xin Yan, Gu Yin Xan had at that very moment coincidentally raised up her head. Her face had looked slightly pale and her eyes had been empty as she swept her gaze over the main hall an entire round. At the moment her eyes met those of Jun Wu’s, she had jumped slightly and quickly lowered her head back down, continuing to drink her wine.

  [Gu Ying would really so obediently leave to not stir up any trouble just from a word from Gu Xin Yan?]

  Jun Wu Xie did not for a moment think that Gu Xin Yan would have such a hold over Gu Ying. From the way she had seen Gu Xin Yan and Gu Ying interact, it was not difficult for Jun Wu Xie to see that Gu Xin Yan hid a deep fear towards Gu Ying from the bottom of her heart.

  Volume 17

  Chapter 1684: “Leaving One’s Seat (2)”

  Jun Wu Xie remained completely unmoved as she surveyed everything. Gu Ying’s departure was definitely not just because of those few words uttered by Gu Xin Yan.

  [Then what could it be due to?]

  “What do you think? Would the Blood Fiend Palace seek trouble with the Dragon Slayers Palace here?” Zi Jin was getting rather excited. Jun Wu Xie had not even made a move and the two Young Lords from the Blood Fiend Palace and the Dragon Slayers Palace were already at each other’s throats. Wouldn’t that mean that they might not even have to do anything and could just sit back and wait to reap the rewards without any effort?

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head. “Without mentioning Gu Ying for now, Gu Xin Yan would still not agree to have such a thing happen. Moreover, a little verbal argument wouldn’t mean anything as such friction is highly common between the various palaces, which won’t a big deal to them at all.”

  [Wasn’t there already so much conflict between the Twelve Palaces?]

  [Back at the Heaven’s End Cliff, the Flame Demons Palace’s slaughter of the All Life Palace had occurred and even though lives had been lost and people wounded then, the Twelve Palaces still had not really gone against each other openly.]

  [Unless…..]

  Jun Wu Xie’s gaze then fell upon the dark faced Zhuge Yin.

  Zhuge Yin was so affected by Gu Ying’s snubbing that the shade of his face was looking rather unpleasant. Even though Gu Xin Yan’s last few words had smoothed out the atmosphere somewhat, Zhuge Yin’s face still did not look too good.

  Fei Yan sitting beside him was actually highly unwilling to waste his breath on that fella but for the sake of their scheme, he put on a smile to coax and persuade him.

  “I was merely exchanging a toast to Xin Yan and chatting a little with her, what did Gu Ying mean by doing that? His tone and manner of speech was so eccentric and strange, does he seek to see me dead then?” Zhuge Yin said, his rage rising the more he thought about it. He was the only son of the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord and right from a young age, he had been the apple of his father’s eye and prized as the most precious treasure by everyone around him. When had he ever needed to suffer such in such a manner before?

  Fei Yan poured Zhuge Yin a cup of wine and said patiently: “Do not be angry Young Lord. The other party is from the Blood Fiend Palace afterall and the Blood Fiend Palace had for such a long time stood almost shoulder to shoulder with the Flame Demons Palace, so they would naturally despise all the other palaces. Moreover, that person is the Blood Fiend Palace’s Young Lord and he was bound to be unbearably haughty and arrogant, showing no restraint with his words. Young Lord, you should just simmer down a little.”

  Fei Yan seemed to be dissuading Zhuge Yin but if one was to think carefully about the words he said, they would discover that Fei Yan was actually adding fuel to the fire.

  Incessantly bringing up the tyrannical arrogance of the Blood Fiend Palace right by Zhuge Yin’s ear, wouldn’t that cause the young and hot blooded Zhuge Yin feel even more indignant?

  “Him? He can be considered as the Blood Fiend Palace’s Young Lord like that? You must be joking! Gu Yi sees nothing in him and pays him no heed! Don’t think just because he holds the surname Gu and he would be able to become the next Palace Lord of the Blood Fiend Palace. Only the Heavens know what that bastard child is from. Gu Yi had never intended to groom that thrash into the next Palace Lord and he still thinks he’s somebody.” Not only did Zhuge Yin feel he had been pushed into anger, Gu Ying had also disgraced him right before Gu Xin Yan and Fei Yan, which just further displeased him.

  A word carelessly uttered, might reveal more than intended to a attentive listener. Fei Yan’s hand paused very briefly as he poured out the wine but he did not show it in the slightest upon his face, which maintained a smiling facade.

  Zhuge Yin downed a cup of wine, fighting to suppress the fire in his heart.

  “Little Yan, let me tell you this. Don’t just see that fella Gu Ying putting on such airs here. When he’s in the Blood Fiend Palace, he’s nothing at all. You joined our palace late and there are many things you are unaware of. There are many filthy and dirty deeds and dealings within the Twelve Palaces and even if the Blood Fiend Palace was to choose, they would choose Gu Xin Yan as the next Palace Lord and that scoundrel would not even stand a chance.”

  “But….. isn’t he the Blood Fiend Palace Lord’s son? Isn’t the position of Palace Lord always handed down from father to son?” Fei Yan feigned incomprehension to say innocently.

  Zhuge Yin then sneered and said: “That’s right, it’s usually passed down to the son. But that son, has first got to be his real flesh and blood!”

  Chapter 1685: “Rascally Rogue (1)”

  “What does my Young Lord’s really mean by those words?” Fei Yan nose could already sniff the strong scent of information.

  Zhuge Yin said: “Although our Dragon Slayers Palace are not able to match the Blood Fiend Palace and the Flame Demons Palace at this moment, but among all the Twelve Palaces, the one who holds the most information and knowledge of the biggest secrets would be us. Little Yan, you’ve joined the palace only for a short period of time and there are many things you will only come to understand in the future. You will realize that among the Twelve Palaces, people who look to be revered and well respected are actually far from being as magnificent as the facade of grandeur they seem to portray on the surface.”

  Fei Yan secretly noted that revelation in his mind. [Most information? Biggest secrets? That’s just fantastic!]

  [How much trouble was that going to save him!]

  After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed to leave the hall.

  Jun Wu Xie had also returned to her room wanting to get some rest but…..

  When Jun Wu Xie walked into the room, Ye Sha, Ye Gu, and Ye Mei had already been waiting inside for a long time with her conscious of the fact that Jun Wu Yao had followed her in.

  Jun Wu Xie turned her head to look at Jun Wu Yao, her eyes questionin
g.

  Jun Wu Yao however just looked smilingly at her.

  “I want to sleep already.” Jun Wu Xie said as a reminder.

  “Mm.” Jun Wu Yao nodded.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at him and then looked at Ye Sha and gang.

  “You guys can go.”

  Ye Sha, Ye Gu and Ye Mei then self consciously climbed out from the window, but Jun Wu Yao however did not move in the slightest and just stood there in Jun Wu Xie’s room.

  Jun Wu Xie just stood there staring at Jun Wu Yao as Jun Wu Yao stood staring back at her.

  “I want to rest. You can now go sleep as well.” Jun Wu Xie said a little helplessly.

  Jun Wu Yao still remained there beaming widely. “I know, am I not here waiting to go to sleep?”

  [Sleep.]

  [Naturally one needed to sleep.]

  [Right here!]

  “…..” Jun Wu Xie could not find any words. [Was this rogue intending to act like a thug and refuse to leave her room?]

  In the past, Jun Wu Xie might not have understood anything about things like this, but having undergone the little black cat’s whipping, she had come to learn some of it. Hence, she naturally knew….. that this scoundrel cannot be allowed to sleep here together with her.

  [At least not now!]

  “I just came here today and they had seemingly not prepared a room for me to rest in here. Little Xie, you wouldn’t really want me to sleep in the wilderness would you?” Jun Wu Yao asked, as he looked mournfully at Jun Wu Xie. The Pure Grace Palace had already arranged rooms for the guests and the Shadow Moon Palace were allocated five rooms in total. Since he had just arrived here today with Ye Mei, they would naturally have no place allocated for them to rest in.

  “Go squeeze in with Ye Sha.” Jun Wu Xie said, without changing the expression on her face.

  “Ye Mei has already gone there.” Jun Wu Yao said, giving her a rascally smile.

  “Then squeeze with Ye Gu.” Jun Wu Xie said with her eyebrow lifting up.

  Jun Wu Yao gave a light laugh and said: “Has Little Xie forgotten? Ye Gu and Ye Jie are two people in one body and I am not going to share my pillow with any other girl than you.”

  Jun Wu Xie took a deep breath and then raised her foot to walk towards outside. She hadn’t even taken two steps when Jun Wu Yao pulled her arm and turned her back around.

  “It’s already so late, where are you going?”

  “I’ll go ask Yue Yi to go sleep in Ye Gu’s room.” Jun Wu Xie said with her clear eyes looking at Jun Wu Yao. She was not that dumb to buy into the nonsense that this scoundrel was giving her. Over the past so many days, it had always been Ye Gu appearing before her and the little Ye Jie must already be in a deep sleep someplace only the Heavens knew where, so what was he talking about?

  Jun Wu Yao’s face turned into one of disapproval and he shook his head slightly to say: “Are you talking about the youth from earlier? Ye Jie is highly timid. How could you make her sleep upon the same bed with a man who is a complete stranger to her?”

  “I am talking about Ye Gu.” [Who ever said that Ye Jie was going to sleep with Yue Yi! ? She had definitely said Ye Gu!]

  Seeming to notice Jun Wu Xie’s doubt of what he said, mirth flashed within Jun Wu Yao’s eyes and he suddenly said: “Oh? Really?”

  Volume 17

  Chapter 1686: “Rascally Rogue (2)”

  The moment his voice dropped, the window that had just been shut was suddenly opened and a small tiny appeared outside the window.

  “Squeak…..” The rotund Hell Rodent was struggling to pull itself up onto the window ledge, its round eyes looking at Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao.

  The Hell Rodent, Ye Jie’s Ring Spirit.

  Jun Wu Xie felt a twitch forming at the corner of her mouth. Ye Gu who had not transformed into Ye Jie at all throughout the entire period he had been following her had now suddenly handed over the control of the body to his younger sister in an instant. It was obvious that it was done to help fulfil Jun Wu Yao’s “wish”.

  Looking into Ye Jie’s large naive eyes, Jun Wu Xie really could not make herself dump the little girl into Yue Yi’s room.

  “You’re dismissed.” Jun Wu Yao said as he looked at Ye Jie in satisfaction, his hand raised up to wave her away.

  Ye Jie immediately carried the Hell Rodent and closed the window shut.

  Outside the window, Ye Sha and Ye Mei were standing on each side of the window as they stared at the bright moon shining down. They both then turned their heads and raised their thumbs up at Ye Jie.

  Ye Jie’s face was one of utter confusion.

  Not knowing that when the three men had left the room earlier, they had remained squatting just outside to stand guard when they heard the conversation between Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao. Realizing that their Lord was in a pickle, they immediately forced Ye Gu to summon Ye Jie, which was how the earlier scene had come about.

  These few highly stalwart men of the Night Regime, really worried their hearts to bits over the eternal happiness of their Lord Jue.

  But though they were highly delighted, Jun Wu Xie was not feeling all that pleased.

  “Have Ye Mei and Ye Sha look into the situation in the Pure Grace Palace tonight.” Jun Wu Xie then said. It was highly common for the Night Regime to move by night and Ye Sha’s and Ye Gu’s rooms were mostly left empty anyway, hardly used at all.

  Jun Wu Yao lifted an eyebrow and watched Jun Wu Xie struggling valiantly, his eyes filling up with mirth.

  Jun Wu Xie had just finished with those words when the window was opened once again.

  Ye Sha and Ye Mei poked their faces in looking highly aggrieved and mournful, suddenly appearing at the window.

  “Young Miss, I have not been feeling too well the past few days. Please allow me to rest up a little.” Ye Sha said, his tone serious and the expression on his face showing fatigue and exhaustion.

  “Young Miss, I have been rushing the entire way here with Lord Jue and have not even shut my eyes for several days and nights already. Will you allow me to have a nap at least?” Ye Mei similarly indicated that he needed to rest.

  “…..” Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and stared at the two characters who had been eavesdropping outside the window with a frosty gaze. Ye Sha and Ye Mei immediately shut the window tightly in the very next instant, not daring to make another sound.

  Jun Wu Xie was so infuriated by those two that she didn’t know what to say.

  Jun Wu Xie’s melancholy mood did not seem to have infected Jun Wu Yao at all as he walked smilingly over a chair at the side to sit down, his long slender legs crossed together. He rested his chin in his palm as he looked on unruffled and calmly at the still struggling Jun Wu Xie.

  [The little one knows more and more now, it will not be easy to dupe her anymore.]

  Jun Wu Xie’s lips stiffened as she stared at Jun Wu Yao sitting there when she suddenly opened her mouth to say: “You have not had any shuteye for many days?”

  She did not disregard what Ye Mei had said earlier. From the Lower Realm to the Middle Realm, just how far the journey really was was not something she did not know about.

  Jun Wu Yao gave a light laugh. “Mm.”

  Jun Wu Xie fell silent and then went walking over to stand before him, before she reached her hands out to tug at Jun Wu Yao’s shirt collar to pull him up from the chair.

  Jun Wu Yao just went along with her.

  Jun Wu Xie brought Jun Wu Yao straight to the side of the bed and pushed him down on his shoulders to make him sit on the bed.

  “Sleep now.”

  Jun Wu Yao’s eyes flashed slightly, his eyes hiding a smile as he allowed himself to fall along with the force from the push of Jun Wu Xie’s arms, flat onto the bed. He then shifted himself further inside the bed of his own accord, to leave a space for Jun Wu Xie.

  Chapter 1687: “Rascally Rogue (3)”

  Jun Wu Xie glanced at him but did not make any direct move but instead summoned the lit
tle black cat who had lazed for many days.

  “Meow?” The little black cat was feeling a little lost having been summoned by Jun Wu Xie for no clear reason.

  Jun Wu Xie did not say anything but just sat down at the side of the bed and laid herself down. Jun Wu Yao’s eyes seemed to then flash with a glint.

  But just as he was about to stretch his hand out to cuddle Jun Wu Xie, Jun Wu Xie planted the little black cat right in between them…..

  “…..” Jun Wu Yao was stunned.

  “…..” The little black cat was flummoxed!

  “Sleep.” Jun Wu Xie did not care in the slightest how hard the hearts of those two were crumbling but just went on ahead to adjust her position a little before pulling the blanket over herself and shutting her eyes to rest.

  Buried under the blanket, the little black cat was feeling downright unwell. It had wondered why Jun Wu Xie had summoned it out and in the end it was for such a purpose!

  The little black cat’s tiny heart was on the verge of collapsing. It was a spirit body and it did not need to breathe, so even if it was buried inside the blanket, that did not affect it at all. [Although that was factually correct, but….. Mistress, you can’t play in such a manner!]

  Being wedged right smack between Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao, though the little black cat was hidden in darkness beneath the blanket, it could clearly feel the intense murder emanating from Jun Wu Yao…..

  [It was feeling that it’s end was nigh!]

  Jun Wu Xie had used the little black cat as a division line, cutting straight between her and Jun Wu Yao, quickly thwarting Jun Wu Yao’s plans, and also damning the little black cat straight into Hell.
