Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 21

by North Night (夜北)

  Because of the struggle, it caused the standing of Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy to diminish greatly among the Beast Spirits and Plant Spirits. At the same time that Soul Slayer led the Weapon Spirits to seize the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy had not come forward, which led their fellow spirits of their race to complain about their absence, that just rendered their attempts to dissuade everyone to fall further in vain.

  And just a few days ago, a huge battle among the three races occurred. After an uncountable number of deaths, the Weapon Spirits who had Soul Slayer leading them achieved final victory and seized the right to possess the Serene Spirit Tower. They had then already begun to discuss with Wu Jiu how the fourth Serene Spirit Tower was to be modified according to the method of cultivation used by Weapon Spirits.

  The defeated Beast Spirits and Plant Spirits were devastated where a portion of them had even turned their rage in failure onto Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy, blaming them for not coming out to lead their spirit race to fight for the fourth Serene Spirit Tower. Immediately, Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy suffered admonishments and scoldings, which led to their positions within their respective spirit races to be greatly affected as well.

  “A bunch of idiots. Do they really think that getting the fourth Serene Spirit Tower is something great?” Qiao Chu said with a scornful smirk upon hearing what they said. What Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy did was smart, but it was obvious that their fellow spirits of their races were not as smart as them.

  “Without the Spiritual Bear, it is not possible for the fourth Serene Spirit Tower to finish its construction. Wu Jiu will only continue to drag it out.” Jun Wu Xie was instead calm and composed before such a situation. The desire to pursue stronger power would often cause spirits to lose their heads, leading them to wander off the original paths they treaded upon.

  Having come to understand Spirit Reinforcement more and more, Jun Wu Xie was then certain that without the Spiritual Bear, there was no way Wu Jiu would be able to complete the fourth Serene Spirit Tower as to activate such a great number of Spirit Reinforcements runes, it required a sufficiently robust amount of the power of the spirit and it must come from a single source or it would not activate. Moreover, the Spirit Fire on the twelfth level also required the soul of a powerful spirit to be refined for it to form, and spirits that were able to provide such an immense amount of power of the spirit was few and far between, with the Spiritual Bear being one being one of the rare few, or otherwise, why would Wu Jiu expend so much resources to capture the Spirit Bear?

  Jun Wu Xie did not know what kind of a powerful spirit was sacrificed for the construction of the other three Serene Spirit Towers but for the current fourth tower, it would seem like Wu Jiu only had one single choice that was the Spiritual Bear.

  The Spiritual Bear’s frailty before had been exactly because its power of the spirit had been extracted and put into the fourth Serene Spirit Tower and Wu Jiu was unable to swap the spirit halfway, making the Spiritual Bear his only choice.

  Poison Ivy then said: “I am certain Mistress’ deduction is correct. But, Wu Jiu captured the previous Spirit Master yesterday.”

  “What?” Jun Wu Xie was slightly taken aback.

  Although she had not met the previous Spirit Master before, she knew that he was once the leader of the human spirits. But because of a certain someone standing right behind her, the previous Spirit Master felt he let down the Spirit Lord, and went on to give up on the glory he enjoyed before, to go into seclusion. But though the previous Spirit Master lived in seclusion, his standing and influence did not fade from the minds of the human spirits. Added to the fact that he was Wu Jiu’s and Nalan Shan’s Master, how could Wu Jiu possibly dare to capture the previous Spirit Master just like that?

  “Wu Jiu pegged some baseless crime onto the Spirit Master and placed the previous Spirit Master under house arrest. He then released news that if Nalan Shan did not appear with the fugitive brown bear, then he would have no choice but to inflict harm upon the previous Spirit Master.” Poison Ivy did not go into details about the kind of method Wu Jiu had employed to capture the previous Spirit Master, or how he had pegged the crime onto the heads of Brownie and Nalan Shan. But just thinking about it and one would know that it was all just one insidious plot.

  “He is doing this to force Nalan Shan to hand over the Spiritual Bear. ” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up slightly. Wu Jiu had ignored the controversy and placed his own Master under house arrest to coerce his fellow disciple, a despicable and maniacal act. But from Poison Ivy’s narration, Jun Wu Xie did not hear a single thing about any spirits raising any questions.

  “Wu Jiu had drawn the Weapon Spirits over to his side and the Beast Spirits had suffered great losses in the battle before. On top of that, with Flame Dragon’s position weakened, there was no one who could lead the Beast Spirits to sufficiently question the situation. The Plant Spirits just could not be bothered with the affairs of other spirit races and would naturally not stick their noses in. Wu Jiu’s repute among the human spirits has already surpassed that of the previous Spirit Master and because of the construction of the Serene Spirit Towers, the human spirits had longed obeyed his every word. Together with the support of the Weapon Spirits, the entire matter succeeded almost without encountering any resistance.” Poison Ivy related with his brows creased up. He knew clearly that the actions of Wu Jiu were despicable but there wasn’t anyone that would be able to stop Wu Jiu anymore at this point. There was nothing anyone could do but to wait for Nalan Shan to appear with the Spiritual Bear and there was no way of turning it all around.

  Jun Wu Xie took a deep breath. “Nalan Shan will definitely do as he says.”

  The interactions with Nalan Shan had let Jun Wu Xie understand his character, highly righteous and a person that would not just stand back to see the previous Spirit Master suffer under Wu Jiu’s malicious hand. He would definitely appear!

  “Like the moron he is, even knowing full well that it’s a trap, he will still go in order to save the previous Spirit Master.” Poison Ivy said with a click of his tongue. Although his tongue was venomous, he felt rather helpless. “I think he will turn up by himself and not bring the Spiritual Bear. He is the first to discover the peculiarity in the Serene Spirit Tower and he will definitely try to avoid letting Wu Jiu’s plan succeed.”

  However, Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

  “Once Nalan Shan appears, Wu Jiu’s plan would have succeeded, regardless whether Nalan Shan brings the Spiritual Bear.”

  “Why?” Qiao Chu could not help but ask at the side.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at Qiao Chu and said: “If Wu Jiu can make use of the previous Spirit Master to lure out Nalan Shan, then he can use Nalan Shan to make Brownie come out.”

  Spirits who were righteous would not be able to avoid such a venomous trap. Even when they knew full well that they would be walking into a deep abyss with no hope of reprieve, they would still step into the trap in order to save the person they cared for deeply.

  And Nalan Shan was like that, with Brownie being the same.

  They would not allow people that they cared for to suffer because of themselves.

  It might be said to be dumb, but people had to respect them for that.

  Jun Wu Xie’s words was also what Poison Ivy was worried about. He did not like to interfere with other people’s affairs, but as the Serene Spirit Tower implicated too many people, he had to take the step forward. He had thought to go discuss the matter with Flame Dragon before, but before he was able to do it, he had been dragged into Jun Wu Xie, to become her Ring Spirit.

  “Then we must not let Nalan Shan go! Isn’t it clearly a multi layered plot? W
u Jiu is just waiting for him to walk right into the trap so Wu Jiu can get his hands on Brownie! !” Qiao Chu was furious. What Wu Jiu was doing was as good as defying the Master and destroying the name of one’s ancestors, going against the very grain of humanity, something that no one would be able to accept!

  “With Nalan Shan’s character, no matter what we say, we will not be able to change anything. Moreover….. We do not know where he is.” Poison Ivy said with a sigh. From Jun Wu Xie’s mouth, he had come to know the secret in the Serene Spirit Towers, which made him vaguely realize that Wu Jiu’s motives were not as simple as he had imagined.

  If it was because authourity, he had become the one party that the Spirit Lord trusted the most. And if it was because of power, he held in his hands all the human spirits in the Spirit World, so why would he throw the biggest force he held into the abyss to have the Serene Spirit Towers devour them?

  Poison Ivy just did not understand what Wu Jiu was thinking. With the way Wu Jiu was doing things, it made it impossible for anyone to guess what his real motives were.

  “I know.” Jun Wu Xie suddenly said.

  Poison Ivy was slightly taken aback.

  Jun Wu Xie came walking away from within Jun Wu Yao’s arms. She looked at Poison Ivy and said: “I need to have a chat with Nalan Shan.”

  Poison Ivy then replied: “That stubborn block of wood will not listen. Even if he believes what you say, it is not possible that he will give up on any opportunity to save the previous Spirit Master.”

  “I do not need him to give up on that. I will be asking him to go.” Jun Wu Xie said abruptly.

  “Ask him to go?” Poison Ivy was suddenly a little confused. [Why can’t he understand what Jun Wu Xie was saying?]

  Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  “You go tell Flame Dragon to encourage the Beast Spirits to go watch at the date and time that Wu Jiu had set up.”

  Poison Ivy still did not understand what Jun Wu Xie was going to do. But as her Ring Spirit, he would naturally trust his Mistress’ judgement.

  “Although Flame Dragon’s position and standing has been damaged, but with a small task such as this, it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

  “When the time comes, you can also bring the Plant Spirits to go watch the spectacle. On that day, a great show will surely come to play at the first Serene Spirit Tower.” The corners of Jun Wu Xie’s mouth curled up into a sneer. It was high time she retaliated.

  “Alright.” Although Poison Ivy did not know what Jun Wu Xie was going to do, but from Jun Wu Xie’s eyes, he saw confidence. He subconsciously chose to trust Jun Wu Xie with her plan.

  “Go tell Little Lotus and Poppy that they do not need to continue to watch the Serene Spirit Tower for this period but just move together with you.” Jun Wu Xie then said.

  Poison Ivy nodded, then paused a moment thoughtfully before he looked at Jun Wu Xie to ask. “I have a question.”

  “What question?”

  “Poppy and Little Lotus…..”

  “They are both my Ring Spirits.”

  Poison Ivy was finally able to confirm the guess he had in mind.

  “I will only remain her in the Spirit World for a year. Now that a good half year has passed, it won’t be much longer that I might have to go back. Are you willing to return with me?” Jun Wu Xie asked, looking at Poison Ivy. She still did not fully understand Poison Ivy’s powers, but from his position among the Plant Spirits, it could be seen that he was definitely not weak.

  Poison Ivy knelt on the ground on one knee and said nonchalantly: “I shall willingly accompany my Mistress at her side.”

  Jun Wu Xie nodded her head.

  With his mission in hand, Poison Ivy did not tarry long but to immediately depart, seeking Flame Dragon to discuss the matter.

  Till Poison Ivy had left, Qiao Chu and the others then gathered around Jun Wu Xie.

  “Little Xie, have you come up with a plan to deal with Wu Jiu and Jiang Yun Long?” The moment Qiao Chu saw the smile on Jun Wu Xie’s face earlier, he immediately knew that someone’s time was about to be up. Jun Wu Xie seldom smiled, but when she did, it often meant that someone was about to meet with misfortune.

  “I have something in mind, but it’s still not certain. I need to see Brownie first before I can be sure of it.” Jun Wu Xie nodded his head to say

  “Then when do we move out?” Qiao Chu could no longer hold back his excitement, wishing for nothing more than to be able to charge right out, and completely cleanse himself of all the aggrievement he had suffered in this place before.

  “Clear up this place first.” Jun Wu Xie said, pointing at the Spirit Reinforcement circles on the ground.

  Qiao Chu and the others immediately understood Jun Wu Xie’s meaning and the group of youths went over to the Spirit Reinforcement circles inscribed into the ground to wipe them cleanly off.

  Jun Wu Yao put both his hands on Jun Wu Xie’s shoulders. What he liked to see the most was when Jun Wu Xie was in such high spirits, looking so confident, that he really could not resist wanting to kiss that pair of eyes that were shining so brightly.

  And in actual fact.

  Jun Wu Yao did just that.

  He planted a light kiss upon Jun Wu Xie’s long curling lashes and squeezed her little cheeks, a feeling that he would never tire off his entire life.

  Jun Wu Xie then looked at Jun Wu Yao, her eyes blinking.

  “At that time….. You wait at home for me to come back.”

  “Alright. I’ll wait for you to come back.” Jun Wu Yao could not help but laugh to say. Those words felt so heartwarming, and he absolutely loved the feeling.

  Jun Wu Yao understood what Jun Wu Xie was worried about. And he believed that Jun Wu Xie would be able to deal with all of this.

  His Little One was slowly growing up, into a little devil that could hold her own.

  Qiao Chu and the others had naturally wisely chosen to disregard the fact they were seeing the pair engaging in obedience training, as they quickly dealt with the clearing up of the area appropriately.

  As they left the Tranquil Dream Forest, Jun Wu Yao then reluctantly went back “home”, and Jun Wu Xie had conveniently left the unconscious little black cat in his hands to take care of it. As for Jun Wu Xie and her companions, they went along on their way towards an area near to the fourth Serene Spirit Tower to look for Nalan Shan.

  Coming back to the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, a good half year had passed. From the outside, the construction of the entire Serene Spirit Tower looked to be fully complete, and outside around the tower, there were many Weapon Spirits who took on the guarding of the place from the human spirits, as they stood before the Serene Spirit Tower.

  Jun Wu Xie and the companions found Nalan Shan very quickly. Compared to the last time they met, Nalan Shan’s situation was a little worse off. A sorrow filled face that upon seeing Jun Wu Xie and her companions appear, merely forced a smile that barely tugged at the edges of his mouth.

  In the room, Brownie was seated upon the floor just like before, as with it large pudgy paws, it pawed a few things here, and toyed with another few things there. Seeing Jun Wu Xie, it immediately shifted it great big rear, to lumber over to Jun Wu Xie’s feet, and raised a big furry paw to hug Jun Wu Xie’s leg, acting highly coy and coquettish.

  What Jun Wu Xie could not resist the most were such furry and adorable creatures. She could not help but to stretch a hand out to rub Brownie’s big round head, her eyes filled with delight.

  “All of you have grown stronger by a lot…..” The gaunt and sallow looking Nalan Shan noticed that the power of the spirit on the bodies of Jun Wu Xie and her companions had grown a lot more robust than befor
e, to the extent that they were not inferior to his own in the slightest. That discovery greatly surprised Nalan Shan. The last time she saw Jun Wu Xie felt to be about half a year ago and half a year’s time did not count as anything much to a spirit body. A lot of new spirit souls would not even have shedded themselves off of the translucent emptiness of being a new soul but upon Jun Wu Xie’s body, he could no longer see the slightest bit of a new soul’s state.

  “Mm.” Jun Wu Xie nodded. With Brownie hugging her leg, she was unable to immediately dislodge herself but just allowed Brownie to continue to latch on as she remained standing in her spot. Qiao Chu and the others just nonchalantly went to find a seat for themselves with only Fan Zhuo, who had not been able to stroke Brownie had his eyes turned to pass fleetingly over the other Beast Spirits, looking highly forlorn.

  The Beast Spirits seemed to notice Fan Zhuo’s “fevered” gaze and felt rather coy but shifted themselves in the end and placed their tails on Fan Zhuo’s knee. Fan Zhuo immediately stroked them feeling highly satisfied.

  “…..” Qiao Chu stared at the “furvered” pair that were Jun Wu Xie and Fan Zhuo, finding it hard to imagine how the two of them were able to love furry creatures all that much.

  Prime examples of to not judge a book by its cover.

  “About the previous Spirit Master, I have heard about it.” Jun Wu Xie said candidly to Nalan Shan.

  Nalan Shan was slightly taken aback, as he then shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

  “Hence, you have come to find me to tell me that it is a trap and do not want me to go?” Nalan Shan said with a sigh. “Whatever you want to say, I can fully understand. But I am indebted to my Master for all the instruction and guidance he has given me and now that he has fallen into unexpected calamity, how could I possibly sit back and not do anything about it? If I am to just watch him fall under Wu Jiu’s venomous hand and shut my ears in order to save myself, then how am I any different from Wu Jiu? Wouldn’t I be worse than a nefarious beast just the same?”
