Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 1

by North Night (夜北)

  “Hey kid, do you think this is a party? Just squeezing in and following other peoples footsteps by simply handing in any elixir you have with you? For goodness sake, the old man just rejected the Qing Yun Pill ah! THE Qing Yun Pill! Do you even know what that entails? Careful he doesn’t throw it right back in your face!” A rowdy bystander heartily added oil to the fire.

  Jun Wu Xie simply ignored the others as she looked at the old man.

  The old man looked at the fair boy standing in front and got up as he reached for the bottle. “Little boy, what do you want to change it for?”

  “Eastern Pearls.” Jun Wu Xie replied.

  “Oh.” The old man casually opened the bottle. Once he opened the bottle, a sweet refreshing scent of herbs mixed with a hint of lotus permeated the surrounding. Those that were near enough had the luxury to inhale this immediately felt physically and mentally more comfortable.

  Those gathered close to the stall could not help but let out an involuntary sigh as they felt their mind at ease and their spirits uplifted.

  The old man’s once clouded eyes seemed to have regained their brightness, all the apprehensiveness dissipated away as he raised his head and looked at Jun Wu Xie with a bewildered expression.

  “Little boy, what is this elixir? What is the name of it?” The old man asked in an urgent tone.

  “It doesn’t have a name. It’s just a regular blood conditioning elixir.” Jun Wu Xie had not bothered to come up with names for these as they were created simply for Jun Xian and Jun Qing’s body conditioning, part of their recuperation regime. She did not need to waste time on something so trivial.

  “How much do you want to trade it for? How about this? You give me this bottle and you can take these nine Eastern Pearls and choose any other three Spiritual Gems?” The old man’s nostrils flared up as he asked in an overly excited tone and looked at Jun Wu Xie with sparkly eyes. He folded his hands across as he careful tucked the bottle within his embrace, making it clear he had no intention of handing back the medicine.

  As soon as the old man made the offer, the crowd was rendered speechless. In a moment, there was an outburst of discussions as they stared at the incredulous scene in front of them.

  This eccentric old man blatantly rejected the Qing Yun Pill and yet he coveted a nameless elixir from an unknown source?

  What did this imply? That kid’s elixir was even better than Qing Yun Clan Sovereign’s infamous Qing Yun Pill?

  “No, I just want the Eastern Pearls.” Jun Wu Xie was not interested in anything else.

  “How about you have another look at the other items?” The old man coaxed as he looked at her anxiously, tightening his grip on the bottle.

  “No need.” Jun Wu Xie frowned in annoyance. This old man was really long-winded!

  “Then tell me what do you need? If I have it, I’ll change it with you?” He bent down and started digging for something and he retrieved a pouch and opened it.

  As he revealed the contents, everyone’s eyes were sparkling and intermittent gulping sounds could be heard all around. In it were various precious Spiritual Gems full of brilliance and Spiritual energy. The quality of these made those previously displayed pale in comparison.

  For a moment, everyone stared at the pile of precious Spiritual Gems in a daze.

  “I just want the Eastern Pearls.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice had a hint of impatience in it.

  The old man was about to say something when a figure took a step and stood between them.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 50: “Slapping one’s face – Again and again…and again (2)”

  “Young Master, I was wondering if you have another bottle of the same elixir with you? I am willing to use anything to trade it with you. All I want is to let my beloved woman be happy by getting a suitable present for her, please help me fulfill this wish.” Mo Xuan Fei arrogantly stepped between the two as he voiced his intentions.

  He did not know what backing this kid had, but this trip today was to cheer Bai Yun Xian up, if not this would all have been for naught. He didn’t have any more ideas to cheer her up.

  That old man did not know his stuff and did not want the Qing Yun Pill. He, however, treated a nameless elixir with an unknown origin as a precious treasure. He wanted to show that with his identity and resources he could get his hands on whatever he wanted! That fool of an old man should awaken from his stupor.

  Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mo Xuan Fei.

  Hmph. All these years, these people from the Imperial Palace kept looking for trouble with her Lin Palace. They’ve been bullying her dear grandfather and uncle for so long. They are really asking for retribution.

  These pills she made herself? She’d rather feed the dogs than to give it to him.

  “Not trading.” She said coldly.

  You want elixir? Maybe in your next life. Now? I can consider feeding you poison. With compliments – at no extra charge at all!

  When the old man first rejected him, he felt as if his face was being slapped. Once again, within a short span, this little kid in front ‘slapped’ his face yet again! Mo Xuan Fei had never felt so humiliated in his entire life! He was raging inside, his face was utterly black and ugly to the extreme. (TL: It’s more like a metaphor when ‘he lost his face’ it’s as though someone slapping his face)

  Mo Xuan Fei’s timely interruption made Jun Wu Xie change her mind.

  She immediately took a step to the side and asked the old man: “I can give you another two bottles as well! Just give me all the Spiritual Gems with the similar attributes as the first two you offered me.” Jun Wu Xie casually pointed to the new pile of gems the old man had taken out from the pouch.

  All eyes were shocked wide open, how many bottles of elixir did he have? Looking at this reckless kid casually pointing to the Spiritual Gems as though he was choosing fish in the market. He chose all the similar attributes to the first pair the golden couple had their eyes on.

  This sudden turn of event shocked everyone silly. At first he had rejected the old man’s offer, however even though Mo Xuan Fei had put up a ridiculously generous offer for the unknown elixir, the kid actually rejected Mo Xuan Fei as well. The craziest thing was that after Mo Xuan Fei made his offer, the kid changed his mind instantly.

  Everyone’s attention was now on the golden couple, they were all focused on the couples’ reaction.

  Mo Xuan Fei nodded in approval as he felt much better.

  This kid was really clever! He had understood the hidden meaning behind Mo Xuan Fei’s proposal. By refusing him, the kid could change all the Spiritual Gems and present it to Bai Yun Xian and himself for other treasures. The kid had settled the whole matter beautifully.

  The old man did not care for the reason, as long as he got his hands on the wondrous elixir, and it was not only one! The kid had two more! What a fruitful encounter!

  “Ok, I’ll get it for you.” Without a trace of hesitation, the old man begin picking out the various gems as he was smiling and humming a tune.

  Jun Wu Xie took out another two bottles and passed it to the old man.

  Jun Wu Xie tucked the nine Eastern Pearls away safely and took some Spiritual Gems in her hand. She looked at the sparkly beads in her hand and looked over at Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian.

  The couple had on a relieved expression while their eyes betrayed them as their eyes were burning with desire for those Spiritual Gems in her hands.

  Everyone was waiting anxiously in anticipation. Waiting for that kid to pass these treasures to the Second Prince as the kid picked up two gems with two fingers.

  Crunch.

  Everyone focused on the two Spiritual Gems held between the fingers and mouth dropped open when they saw the boy crushing the Spiritual Gems, as the broken gems turned into specks of sparkling stars falling to the ground.

  Jun Wu Xie blankly looked at the couple in front and little by little, her hands began crushing all the priceless Spiritual Gems in her palm, turning them into
stardust. She then casually dusted all the sparkly dust off her two hands after doing the deed.

  Spiritual Gems may be more priceless than precious gems however their toughness was their main flaw. They were very brittle, being the main reason why they were so rare as well. If one was not careful, it would easily turn into dust.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 51: “Slapping one’s face – Again and again…and again (3)”

  While looking at the sparkling star dust trailing off her fingertips, Jun Wu Xie did not have a single trace of emotion shown on her face.

  Everyone stood at their spots petrified and stared at her dumbfounded with their eyes and jaws both wide open.

  Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian were absolutely livid.

  From the beginning, this kid had no intention to win their favor, what this kid did was akin to slapping them in the face!

  As she swept off all the remnants off her hand, she looked at Mo Xuan Fei in the eye as she slowly trailed her pinky finger across her neck as she looked at him provokingly.

  Mo Xuan Fei was seething and had almost gone ballistic. The veins around his neck were popping out.

  If this wasn’t Ghost City, he’d have killed this arrogant young punk a million times!

  Bai Yun Xian bit her lower lips she stared viciously at Jun Wu Xie.

  Feeling satisfied from watching Mo Xuan Fei’s expression, Jun Wu Xie turned around and handed the box containing the nine Eastern Pearls over to an unkempt youth behind.

  “My book.” She demanded.

  The youth froze for a moment as he absentmindedly handed over the few dilapidated books to her.

  As the crowd saw the exchange being carried out, their mind frazzled.

  This kid…is not that stupid… right?

  Crushing priceless gems into dust easily and now traded a box of precious Eastern Pearls for…for a few dilapidated books?!!

  Everyone went crazy.

  This kid really had character! He was too rich! Too domineering!

  When Mo Xuan Fei saw that Jun Wu Xie had changed those lustrous Eastern Pearls for some old and worn out books, he almost vomited blood. Some of these books had some of their covers partially torn, these books were in such bad condition that even if they were left by the roadside, no one would have bothered taking a look at them. These books were actually traded for NINE Eastern Pearls?

  Today, he was really humiliated to the bone.

  Once Jun Wu Xie had gotten hold of the books, she could feel Little Lotus’s happiness. Now that all has been settled, she turned to leave.

  “Little Guy! When you have time please come again! Come by whenever you are free, no matter if it’s Eastern Pearl or whatever Spiritual Gems you are looking for, I have plenty!” The old man clamoured after her.

  After she left, Jun Wu Xie felt someone following her from behind. She whirled around and saw the unkempt youth. He blinked a few times and gave her a rogue smile.

  “What do you want?” She asked coldly.

  “Well, I was wondering if you still have any more of that elixir you’ve just traded? He scratched his head in an embarrassed manner.

  “You said you had no interest?” Jun Wu Xie frowned. It was because he had rejected her elixirs that she had to go through all that just now.

  “Uh, I did not know you had such quality elixir, in such places usually nothing of that calibre appears. “ He answered truthfully with a sheepish tone. He did not even put Qing Yun Clan in his eyes, what more could a young kid offer?

  However when that old man opened the bottle, he knew he had made a huge mistake!

  “Well, didn’t you say that you would give me one?” He asked as his dirty smeared face hid some of the redness.

  “That box has NINE Eastern Pearls.” She cautioned.

  Previously she had promised him an elixir but now that she had paid in double, she no longer needed to pass him a bottle of the elixir.

  What’s more, he didn’t want it in the first place!

  “I can pay you five!” He quickly offered.

  “I don’t need.” She answered immediately as she turned around. She still needed to find a suitable cultivation method for herself.

  Seeing her leaving just like that, the unkempt youth scratched his head in a depressed manner as he looked at the box of pearls in his hands in frustration.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 52: “Followed (1)”

  “Oh no, I’m finished. I screwed up again. When I go back, that group of people will never let me hear the end of it.” The unkempt youth drooped his head down in dejection as he walked back to his stall.

  Jun Wu Xie’s luck wasn’t very good, after scouring through the whole of Ghost City, she still could not find a suitable cultivation method for herself.

  During this trip, she had not gained anything. All she had were those few gardening books and she even made a loss of three bottles of elixir.

  It was late in the night and not a single soul could be seen.

  On an empty street of the Imperial City, Jun Wu Xie and the little black cat were on their way back, the lonely silence of the night with the moonlight shining on them, elongating their shadows – only her footsteps could be heard. She walked back in resignation with her mind full of thoughts.

  As they continued walking, the cold wind was howling loudly through the dark streets. As they turned at the corner of the street, with the veil of darkness shrouding it in its entirety, an outstretched arm reached out for her and pulled her into the darkness.

  “Meow!” The cat called out shrilly.

  Jun Wu Xie was drawn into a warm embrace as the man behind her hugged her from behind, gently pressing a finger over her lips with breath of warm breath beside her ear. A deep enigmatic voice hushed her.

  “Shhh.” The black shadow directed it this time to the black furball.

  The little black cat stiffened.

  “Going out so deep into the night all alone is not a very good choice.” The deep voice said in a teasing voice as he breathed down her slender neck. She trembled slightly.

  “Jun Wu Yao, let go of me!” Without turning back, Jun Wu Xie knew who it was right away.

  This playful voice was ingrained deep within her.

  “Hold still, its so cold at night. Look, your body is so cold,here, let me warm you up.” Under the veil of darkness, Jun Wu Yao smiled contentedly as he held her close and hugged her even tighter. He loved this feeling, so small and petite and her body was so soft.

  “I’m not cold.” She retorted.

  “Oh? I’m cold, you help me warm up then.” The chuckled as he leaned in further bending slightly, chin resting on her shoulder.

  “Your are really not aware of your surroundings. You need to be more alert, you’ve been followed by other people for a whole night and yet did not notice.” His dark purple eyes narrowed. Her small stature coupled with her faint scent of herbs made it unbearable for him to let her go. She fitted perfectly in his arms.

  “I thought you are not considered a person?” She replied calmly, never once had she thought that he was a normal person.

  “I’m not referring to myself…” Jun Wu Yao raised his hands as he used two fingers and gently clasped her chin and turned her head to the direction of the street.

  Along the deserted streets suddenly appeared a tall figure anxiously looking for something.

  The moonlight shone on his face and his features were slightly revealed.

  “Long Qi.” Jun Wu Xie immediately recognized that man.

  “Lin Palace has so many guards, yet you ran out in the middle of the night, turning the whole palace into a state of frenzy. Once you stepped out of Lin Palace, the news already spread to Jun Xian.” Jun Wu Yao hugged her closely as he spoke to her in a playful yet soothing tone.

  “Long Qi really knows how to show his gratitude, personally protecting you in the dark.” Jun Wu Yao scoffed as a dangerous glint flashed across his deep purple eyes.

  Volume 1

  Chapter 5
3: “Followed (2)”

  All these years, Long Qi had been solely responsible for the care of Jun Qing, never meddling in any others of Lin Palace’s affairs. With Jun Wu Xie sneaking out at night, just having some of the elite shadow guards following her would have sufficed, there wasn’t a need to have Long Qi personally guarding her.

  Her medicines seem pretty incredible, they have really won quite a number of people over!

  Jun Wu Yao frowned slightly, not waiting for her to say anything, he turned her back, with one hand on her waist, the other hand clasping her jaw and lifted her face.

  Under the moonlight, a face that could move countries was replaced by a plain ordinary face.

  As Jun Wu Yao’s rough fingertips gently rubbed against her delicate lips, he gave a teasing and playful grin.

  “Really ugly.” The foreign face with the different facial features staring back at him really made him want to wipe them away completely.

  “Do not look then.” Jun Wu Xie frowned, she really could not understand what was on his mind.

  He rarely stayed in Lin Palace, his presence was very elusive. He would sometimes surprise her by suddenly appearing, at times not a single trace could be found. As he had said before, he had no animosity with Lin Palace meant no harm to them. He only tampered slightly with their memories, when those people see him they will remember his identity. Or else, no one will think of him, if he’s not around Jun Xian and Jun Qing almost forgot his existence.

  “I want to go back.” Jun Wu Xie voiced out rather abruptly, as she looked down at this hands, suggesting him to let go.

  “Alright, let’s go back together.” Jun Wu Yao said as raised an eyebrow as he suddenly lifted her up and carried her like a princess.

  “………………” Jun Wu Xie glared at him.

  Jun Wu Yao paid no heed to her silent threat as he whisked her out, the little black cat following closely behind.
