Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 1

by North Night (夜北)

  “Father, are we going to tell her all these things that are happening?” Jun Qing’s sullen face was apparent. He hated the fact that he was crippled and he had no power to protect his family.

  Jun Xian shook his head. “You can’t tell her anything! Knowing her temper, what kind of ruckus would she cause? Also her body has not fully healed. His Majesty has appointed me to lead the investigations of the attack on the Second Prince. I will find out the truth and clear her name of all charges!” After serving his country loyally for so many years, this was what he was repaid with. His two sons were sacrificed in the process, one died in battle, while the other was crippled.

  He only had his precious granddaughter left but with the Imperial decree, it washed her reputation down the drain. Who else would dare to marry her after such treatment by the Royal family?

  “His Majesty, you are really very heartless.” Jun Xian whispered as he closed his eyes wearily.

  It was apparent that the Lin Palace had not much hope for the future, but they even wanted to involve his only granddaughter in this power struggle.

  Jun Qing lowered his head in silence and bit his lower lip as he unconsciously clenched his hands on his pair of wasted legs.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 15: “Grandfather”

  If he could return to the battlefield, even if the they were facing Qing Yun clan, His Majesty would not have been so ruthless towards Lin Palace.

  Over the years, Jun Xian was aware of his excessive military merit as he continued to reduce the Rui Lin Army. Who knew that this would have paved the way to the current situation.

  “I’m going to protect Jun Wu Xie to my last breath. No one can even think about touching my granddaughter!” He proclaimed with a glint in his eyes.

  I have already lost my son. I cannot afford to lose his daughter as well. She is my one and only Lin Wang’s precious granddaughter!

  Deep into the night, this father and son pair were in the study discussing in hushed tones the precarious situation the family was currently facing. Standing by the door was the silhouette of two figures.

  Jun Wu Xie listened on quietly as she stared at the door.

  Grandfather…

  In her previous world, that ‘Grandfather’ of hers made her spend over ten years in bleak darkness. What was suffering, what was despair – she had a thorough grasp on them.

  However, the ‘Grandfather’ of this body was like a sunlight piercing through the darkness. When she had first met him, he had poured out overwhelming love and concern which she had no idea how to react to.

  This was something that she has never experienced before. Whenever he found something interesting, the first thing he did was to send it to her room. If she had a slight frown on her face, he would try all means and ways to coax her.

  Subconsciously, she started to avoid contact with him as she did not how to respond to him as the memory of her ‘grandfather’ was completely different.

  But she did not think that he would have done things for her to this extent.

  Also Lin Palace has been suspicious towards the Royal family’s schemes but had turned a blind eye to it as he had sworn his loyalty and believed that all the years of service he had rendered wouldn’t be overlooked. But this time, with the spearhead pointing towards his granddaughter the blind loyalty dissipated.

  For his granddaughter, he was willing to give up everything.

  With her faint heart still throbbing, she squeezed her skirt tightly.

  “Are all ‘grandfathers’ supposed to be like that?” she asked with furrowed brows.

  Standing beside her Jun Wu Yao was looking at her pale little face and he did not know why her face suddenly flushed with excitement.

  “Do you still want to go in?” he asked as he looked at her curiously.

  “No.” she shook a head as her usually calm expression had a glimmer of warmth. She had initially wanted to discuss with her grandfather on doing her own treatment but did not expect to hear these by the door .

  She turned to leave the study, she needed some peace and quiet to think things through.

  As she turn to leave, his amused dark eyes revealed a hint of dark purple. He felt that these human monarchs behaved in a ridiculous manner. He just wanted to kill them all.

  Dangerous fire from the depth of his half-amused eyes was ignited. But if things were done this way, it will also get her into trouble. The killing intent slowly faded.

  Let’s wait and see…

  Volume 1

  Chapter 16: “ Small White Lotus (1)”

  When she went back to her room, the little black cat immediately appeared and jumped onto her shoulder as it rubbed against her cheek affectionately.

  “Are all grandfathers supposed to be like this?” She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the strange yet familiar reflection.

  “According to normal relationships, that’s the way should be.” The black cat was swinging it’s bushy tail. It was the only one who knew what the word ‘grandfather’ meant for her.

  “Is that so?” Her eyes lowered as she gently clutched her chest. Within it, she felt a warm feeling radiate…something she’s never felt before.

  A little sour, a little warm. She loved it.

  Jun Wu Yao once asked her whether she was angry when Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian came over to break the marriage arrangement.

  The answer in her heart was “why should she be?”

  For her, the past of this body had nothing to do with her, even the Lin Palace did not have much relationship to her so she did not feel the need to be angry, but now things are different.

  Jun Xian’s voice echoed in her head. The constant nagging to eat her medicine, the little attempts at jokes when he was trying to get her to smile, these were all foreign to her.

  “He is my Grandfather.” The reflection in the bronze mirror revealed a small smile, one that was enough to melt snow and ice.

  God had given her compensation for her past experience – giving her a chance to feel what it’s like to have someone to care for her and to protect her. She will certainly not let anyone destroy this new found happiness.

  “I will not let anything happen to Lin Palace,myself or my Grandfather.” she said with conviction as she narrowed her eyes.

  In the past, nothing was worthy of her concern but now, things have changed.

  Lin palace is now in muddy waters and to protect it, she must take some decisive actions. Things were not so simple.

  “My white lotus…in the end.. what are you?” She whispered under her breath as she traced her slender finger over the empty ring spot. Faint light diffused from her fingers and the white lotus appeared once again.

  “Meow”

  [Do you want to try and see what can it do?] The black cat was swishing its tail in excitement as it cocked its head and stared intently on the white lotus.

  She placed the white lotus on her palm and gently brushed its petals. A sweet fragrance permeated the entire room.

  “It’s scent is lovely,” as she took in a deep whiff. Somehow she had always felt that whenever she smelled this scent, her blood flow deemed smoother, as though this scent had a relation to this feeling.

  This lotus fragrance is very strange, it has a very enticing smell and even conditions the human blood, perhaps this lotus might have other uses as well.

  As she reached out to pull off a petal… at that moment…before the petal was pulled off…

  “Ouch! Pain…Pain…Pain…” A gentle child like voice sounded out as her surroundings turned misty.

  When the mist gradually dispersed, a small little boy was sitting on the floor tearfully holding his arm, looking dejectedly at Jun Wu Xie.

  “Meow!” The sudden appearance of this little kid scared the black cat out of its wits and it almost fell off as it scrambled to sit back on Jun Wu Xie’s shoulders.

  “……………..” Jun Wu Xie looked on speechlessly at the small milky white doll-like boy seated o
n the floor. He was wearing a small bib with a vivid white lotus design which looks exactly like her white lotus contractual spirit.

  Chapter 17: “Small White Lotus (2)”

  Where did this little thing pop out from?

  His delicate little face and his big watery eyes filled with grievances, looked at Jun Wu Xie as if she had done something very wrong.

  “Monster!” Black Cat exclaimed loudly, staring at the little guy.

  “I’m not a monster!” The little boy said startled by his own outburst as he fiddled with his fingers.

  “Who are you?” Jun Wu Xie looked at him innocently.

  [Get him thrown out! This guy is definitely a monster!] The black cat felt almost numb. Ever since they transversed into this world, the variety of bizarre things have happened so much.

  When the little boy heard the cat said that he should be thrown out he immediately started crying.

  “I am not a monster, you cannot throw me out! I’m your contractual spirit! Contractual spirit! How could you throw out your own contractual spirit ……” the sobbing little boy claimed, while looking at Jun Wu Xie, big tears from his eyes were falling when suddenly, the room was infused with a deep lotus scent.

  “I didn’t know that contractual spirits could turn into humans?” Jun Wu Xie rebutted harshly, her gorgeous face not a trace of softening up.

  Little boy opened his mouth, looked at Jun Wu Xie as if wronged.

  “I really am your contractual spirit, if you do not believe me, I can change into a more familiar form for you.” Then it slowly stood up, stifling its tears when he disappeared without a trace, in his place, a beautiful white lotus was floating in mid-air.

  “……” Jun Wu Xie no longer knew how to express the shock in her mind.

  *Poof* The white lotus disappeared once again and the little boy once reappeared in the same place.

  For that moment, Jun Wu Xie thought of the magicians in her previous world.

  “Now do you believe me?” The little guy was watching Jun Wu Xie’s response in earnest.

  Although …… he also knows that even in the spirit world, he was different from the rest… but he really is …… a contractual spirit!

  Jun looked leisurely at her own “contractual spirit” white lotus flower which was already hard to accept as it was the first she had heard of a plant contractual spirit but now that it could even transform…! However, looking at the little arm and legs, not to mention fighting, if others gave him a punch, it would most probably put him to death almost immediately.

  “Sure enough, it’s still useless?” Jun Wu Xie muttered out loud, frowning slightly not hiding her discontent that this was not her ideal contractual spirit.

  Brooding Jun Wu Xie did not notice, after she carelessly said those words, the already uneasy little lotus was again on the verge of tears.

  “Sniff …please do not turn me away, I’m..I’m useful…I’m really useful.” Alert to his own master’s “loath” the little lotus could no longer bear it, he threw himself at her while clinging onto one leg, tears running like a tap.

  “I am very useful, really, do not throw me back.” Little Lotus stubbornly clinging to her leg, fearing her outright rejection.

  “Throw back? Where?” Jun Wu Xie finally answered when the words from the little lotus awoke her from her previous stupor.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 18: “Small White Lotus (3)”

  When a baby is born into this world, contractual spirits will form a bond with the human soul and the contractual spirits will sleep in the soul and only awaken at the age of fourteen. No known method except in the event of death, can separate them.

  One can only form a bond with one contractual spirit for life, so no matter how useless her own contractual spirit is, she has no other choice in the matter and even more so to throw it out.

  “The Spirit World” little lotus bitterly replied.

  “That’s where you’re from?” This was the first time she’s heard of this place.

  Little Lotus nodded, as if afraid of Jun Wu Xie disliking him, in a well-behaved manner he added: “Before the awakening, the contractual spirit will stay in the spirit world, if the person dies, we will go back there again. That place is terrifying, I’ve just managed to escape, please, do not throw me back, OK? ”

  She’d like to, but can do that?

  “I …… I can prove to be useful, please wait!” A sudden determination seemed to have possessed little lotus when he finally let go of her leg, his small frail body quivering as he stood up, lifted his tender little arm straight out in front of Jun Wu Xie.

  “Ah?” Jun Wu Xie asked with big innocent eyes looking at him.

  Little Lotus snorted, his tender little face with a painful expression looking at her, he mustered up his courage and finally shouted: “Eat!”

  “…….” What’s there to eat?

  “I am a special lotus, if you eat my petals, it can purify your blood and remove all impurities within it.” Little lotus declared with vigor and pride.

  Jun Wu Xie eyes lit up when she heard that. No one knew better than her, how rare was it to purify one’s blood? Even if a medicine is amazing, there was still a limit. To be able to condition the human body and to improve the physique was possible to truly cleanse the body of all impurities was akin to being reborn!

  In her previous world, despite technology and medicine being very well developed, many Scientists were still researching genes and how they affect the human body, but still have not found any suitable methods.

  If what little lotus claimed was true, then he really is important!

  In order to determine if little lotus was speaking the truth, Jun Wu Xie held onto his little tender arm…although she knew the little guy in front of her was in fact a white lotus, the appearance of him in human form made it difficult for her to act any further. She brought his arm to her lips and looked at him, he was already bawling with huge teardrops falling.

  “………….” She really wasn’t a monster.

  Softly sighing, she put his tender little arm down.

  Although the the little lotus was ‘determined’ to be useful to his master, when he saw that she had put his arms to Her lips he couldn’t control his own fear and tears started falling on its own. When the expected pain did not come, he had mixed feelings – he was really very happy not to be eaten but… The owner will feel that he is really useless and abandon him.

  “I…I am really not afraid of pain,” little lotus weakly declared.

  Jun Wu Xie glanced over to his red and watery eyes.

  “………” Little lotus was instantly discouraged.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 19: “Small White Lotus (4)”

  “ Well… although it hurts… but it will grow back.” Little Lotus softly said.

  “Your petals are part of your body?”Jun Wu Xie clarified.

  Little Lotus nodded.

  So if I want to pluck a petal, I am actually pulling your arm?”

  Little Lotus nodded again.

  Jun Wu Xie was completely silent.

  Just when she finally found a use for this little fellow, it kind of turned into ‘cannibalism’ which no matter what it crossed her bottom line and it was not something she would do. Hence, he had reverted back to his useless status.

  “Ah! I have this!” Little Lotus suddenly exclaimed as he touched his little apron and held out his small clenched fist.

  He slowly opened his hand revealing five small seed quietly lying on his palm.

  “What are these?” Jun Wu Xie asked.

  “These are lotus seeds!” Little Lotus blinked a few times.

  “Although the effect isn’t as great as eating the petals, consuming it can strengthen the bones, purify the bone marrow though its unable to renew the tendons and flesh.” he slowly trailed off.

  ‘Only five?” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows. Having such an effect is pretty good too.

  “I’
m left with five for now. I can produce one once a month, the others ate them all up, I could only save these five seeds.” Little Lotus explained timidly.

  “They?” Jun Wu Xie found it really hard to understand his manner of speaking. However once a month is still good.

  After keeping the five lotus seeds safely, Jun Wu Xie thought about her own little lotus. Although he had no fighting ability his ability to sense seems quite good and these lotus seeds although they are not at the same level as elixirs, it can significantly improve a person’s constitution. This is what she needed most now!

  Whether it was herself ,Jun Xian or Jun Qing, they all needed to improve their body’s constitution.

  Conditioning drugs can only achieve a certain effect, there will still however have some side effects and targeting the bones were one of the hardest to achieve. These lotus seeds have solved the first major step!

  With strong bones as the base, conditioning the rest of the body is simply child’s play to her.

  With a contractual spirit meant that she could start cultivating in this new world, even tough little lotus was unable to fight, at least she could start cultivating and rely on herself!

  Little Lotus was waiting anxiously at the side waiting for some kind of affirmation from Jun Wu Xie as it fiddled with its fingers when she finally nodded at him.

  Knowing that it would not be abandoned, Little Lotus gave a wide smile as tears started trickling down. He vowed in his heart to be a good contractual spirit and do his utmost for his new master.

  She started studying him in earnest as she found that various parts of his body have different effects. His flesh and blood could practically make one’s physique reborn even his tears have the effect of conditioning the blood.

  It can be said other than its zero combat abilities, it could be considered a priceless treasure.
