Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 18

by North Night (夜北)

  When she heard the two words “Palace Lord”, Yue Ye shivered, and her little hands twisted the corners of her clothes nervously, exhibiting signs of fear.

  Elder Yue was oblivious towards the fear Yue Ye was showing but just went on to say: “The Palace Lord’s health has differed vastly from before. Although you are my granddaughter, you are still a member of the Shadow Moon Palace. So the Palace Lord’s worry, is also a worry for you and me. Taking good care of the Palace Lord is a role that you ought to do, do you understand?”

  “Little Ye understands…..”

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1785: “Belief (1)”

  Jun Wu Xie sat within the cell, the surrounding dark and dank. An occasional sob or curse would drift out from the other cells, their voices both male and female, but all filled with despair and aggrievement.

  Those voices swam around Jun Wu Xie’s ears, and she just sat there quietly, looking like she had nothing to do with this place of despair at all.

  “For how long do you intend to remain in this place?” A languid sounding voice quietly sounded from outside the jail cell.

  Jun Wu Xie lifted her head to look at Jun Wu Yao standing outside. He had his arms folded across his chest, as he leaned against the old and worn wooden pillar, his head tilted as he looked at Jun Wu Xie separated from him behind the jail bars.

  “When I destroy this place, I will go.” Jun Wu Xie answered expressionlessly.

  Jun Wu Yao lifted his eyebrow slightly, as he looked around at the filthy and broken down dungeon, the disdain in his eyes couldn’t be anymore obvious.

  “Destroy it…..” The corners of Jun Wu Yao’s mouth curled up slightly, and a cloud of black mist rose from his fingertips. Under the dim firelight, the cloud of black mist looked exceptionally sinister and terrifying, filled with the sense of impending doom.

  Jun Wu Xie then said: “I want to do it on my own.”

  “Why go through all that trouble?”

  “You have things that you need to do, and so do I” Jun Wu Xie said calmly. She knew all too well of Jun Wu Yao’s might. No need to mention just the Shadow Moon Palace. Even if it was the most dominant Flame Demons Palace among the Twelve Palaces, when placed before Jun Wu Yao, it would be just as insignificant as a louse, something that he would be able to send straight to Hell with just a light flick of his finger.

  But that was not the result that Jun Wu Xie wanted, and also not a method that was acceptable to her.

  What she seeked, and wanted to do was to complete it with her own strength, and not hide beneath Jun Wu Yao’s wing to seek protection.

  Jun Wu Xie felt highly fortunate, that although Jun Wu Yao was mighty, he fully respected her ideals, never doing anything that she was not able to accept, always respecting her decisions.

  In truth, the reason she was not willing to depend on Jun Wu Yao’s strength, had another layer of consideration to it.

  There was no doubt that Jun Wu Yao was very powerful, but Jun Wu Xie had not forgotten the rumour that had once swept through the Middle Realm, regarding the decline of the Dark Emperor. With Jun Wu Yao’s powerful might and when the Dark Regime was flourishing, who could have possessed the ability to imprison him in that dark cave that never saw light? That was a point that Jun Wu Xie had never been able to understand and the only think that she could be certain of was that the enemy that Jun Wu Yao had to face was not someone the current her would be able to take on at all.

  Although Jun Wu Yao had not spoken about his own affairs, but Jun Wu Xie could faintly feel that he must have his own reasons for not returning to the Dark Regions to now. When he had been in the Lower Realm, he would often go missing and it was thought that it had something to do with this, while he had also always kept the news that he still lived hidden.

  Although Jun Wu Xie did not know who it was that Jun Wu Yao wanted to hide that from, but she understood that if it was a person that even Jun Wu Yao had to be wary of, that person would not be any ordinary character. She had not wanted him to make any moves here in the Middle Realm, was also because she did not want him to expose himself because of her, and bring trouble upon him.

  She wanted to become stronger, not just merely for herself, but was hoping, that if the day came, that Jun Wu Yao was to face his enemy, she wouldn’t just be able to stand behind him without being able to do anything, but to be able to stand beside him, and fight against those disasters together with him.

  When she was weak, he shielded her.

  She seeked to become strong, so she would be able to stand by his shoulder in battle, to face dangers together.

  All of this, Jun Wu Xie had never once spoken a word of it, but that belief had long taken root deep in her heart way before.

  Chapter 1786: “Belief (2)”

  “You’re still being so obstinate.” Jun Wu Yao said as he narrowed his eyes, but his devilish gaze tinged with an faint indiscernible smile. She could clearly borrow upon his strength to flatten every obstacle before her but the little one was always so stubborn, never taking the initiative to have him stick his hand into such affairs.

  It could be said that Jun Wu Yao had watched Jun Wu Xie every step of the way as she went from weak towards power. On this road, just how far she would be able to go, he just couldn’t wait to see.

  “This is called perseverance.” Jun Wu Xie said.

  “Alright. Perseverance.” Jun Wu Yao said, with a helpless smile.

  “Where is Ye Sha?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly asked.

  Her voice had just fallen when a figure silently appeared behind Jun Wu Yao.

  Ye Sha knelt on one knee and said: “Your subordinate is here.”

  “Go help me check whether there is something that matches this half piece of jade in Elder Yue’s room.” Jun Wu Xie said as she handed to Ye Sha, the half piece of jade that Elder Ying had given to her. She should be doing these things herself, but….. she did not think that someone would just let her reflect on her mistakes in the dungeon so peacefully.

  “Yes, Young Miss.” Ye Sha acknowledged as he kept the half piece of jade safely away. His tall figure then quickly faded away into the darkness, his presence dissipating away altogether.

  Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie sitting inside the cell, very much at ease. He was just about to open the cell door and get cosy with his little one when the sound of footsteps caused him to have no choice but to retract his actions.

  “Looks like someone will not stop coming to court death.” Jun Wu Yao said, his voice tinted with a slight tinge of regret.

  Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders, her eyes seeing Jun Wu Yao off as he disappeared without a trace right before her eyes.

  The footsteps came in closer and closer and Jun Wu Xie gave the little black cat in her arms a pat. The little black cat then leapt out of Jun Wu Xie’s arms in understanding, onto a pile of straw. It then wiggled its little behind as it dug itself under the pile of straw. Its body was tiny in size and under the dim firelight in the dungeon, it could not be seen at all.

  “Are you enjoying the taste of being in the dungeon?” Several Shadow Moon Palace disciples came to the front of the jail cell, to stare at Jun Wu Xie inside through the bars.

  Jun Wu Xie lifted up her eyelids lazily, to give the youths outside a measuring gaze.

  One indigo spirit, three blue spirits….. How dull.

  Sweeping her glance over them, Jun Wu Xie then lowered her gaze to the ground, like the few people outside are not as interesting as the dry straw upon the ground.

  Upon seeing that they were being disregarded so completely by Jun Wu Xie, the faces of the youths outside quickly became not too pretty.

  “Chang Huan, I had not thought that a chattering sissy like you would really be so treacherous, to have hidden your powers all this time, and making monkeys out of everyone? Or do you think that with your powers, no one within the palace will dare to do anything against you? Do you know that the Palace Lord has already given the order to have y
our status as a member of the Shadow Moon Palace rescinded? You are not just a criminal who wounded the Shadow Moon Palace’s disciples, do you have still have anything to be so smug about?” One of the youths said with a sneer, his eyes dripping with venom.

  “A debt with money, a life for a life, pay for what you owe. You’ve wounded our fellow disciples and we are now carrying out the Palace Lord’s orders to deliver the punishment. If you know what’s good for you, then be cooperative and me and my brothers can make it quick for you. But if you are not willing to cooperate, when the Elders are called, it will only end up worse for you.” The youths spoke one after another, constantly attempting to stir up Jun Wu Xie’s emotions with their words.

  But they were all highly disappointed, as no matter what they said, Jun Wu Xie did not even look at them once from beginning to end.

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1787: “Conspire To Murder (1)”

  The youths were getting an itch in their teeth from being completely ignored by Jun Wu Xie but did not dare to do anything too overboard, as they already knew what kind of power Jun Wu Xie now held before they came here.

  “Chang Huan! Are you even listening to what we are saying?” One of the youths opened his mouth to say in exasperation.

  Jun Wu Xie continued to act like she did not hear anything.

  “Damn it.” The youths saw that Jun Wu Xie thought nothing of them at all and whatever they said to her, her ears were not hearing a single word of it. The shade of their faces then turned uglier.

  “I would really like to see how long you can continue to act tough.” A youth said through narrowed eyes, a venomous glint flashing within. He raised a hand to remove a burning candle from the side and came walking over to the front of the jail cell to said sinisterly: “Since you refuse the proffered wine, then you can now only have wine as punishment.”

  Upon saying that, the youth suddenly threw the candle towards the jail cell!

  The floor of the jail cell, was laid with a layer of dry straw. In the instant that the candle fell to the ground, the flame immediately lit the dry straw in the area close to it. Fiery red flames spread at an amazing speed within the entire cell, the rolling waves of heat swirling within the dark and dank dungeon, its light illuminating the filthy walls clearly on all four sides!

  The youths outside the jail cell were laughing, as they watched the flames gradually burning straight towards Jun Wu Xie, their hearts reveling in sinister evil.

  The bars of the barricades in the Shadow Moon Palace’s dungeon seemed to have been made from wood, but within that outer casing of wood, it was inlaid with quite a bit of black steel. The black steel was extraordinarily hard and even a Purple Spirit would not be able to destroy it with its own strength.

  Only those who broke through to the Silver Spirit, would be able to shake it up a little.

  With Jun Wu Xie locked within the jail cell, she had no where to escape to and the youths were just waiting to see Jun Wu Xie inside the cell scream and shout in misery.

  Jun Wu Xie sat calmly in her spot, her clear gaze staring at the blaze surging towards her, and there was not the slightest bit of panic in her eyes. She merely raised her head up calmly, her gaze piercing over the fiercely burning flames, to look straight at the youths standing outside.

  “You are no longer a disciple of the Shadow Moon Palace and since you refuse to accept the Shadow Moon Palace’s punishment meted out to you, then we can only make you receive another kind of special punishment. Rest assured, I have heard people saying that people who are burned to death, even when their skin had split and their flesh burst open throughout the entire body, scorched to a charred black, their consciousness will not disappear that quickly. They will struggle bitterly within the flames, and even when the body had degenerated, your consciousness will let you feel the agony clearly. Chang Huan….. You can enjoy that experience now, entertain yourself with this execution by fire! Hahaha…..” The youth who set the fire laughed aloud and unbridled, the light from the fire reflected in his eyes, casting upon his eyes a layer of blazing venom.

  The other three youths were also laughing as they watched it all, not showing the least bit of pity or sympathy, like what was being burned to death was not a person, but just a dead animal.

  The fiery blaze surged towards Jun Wu Xie, seemingly about to engulf her completely in a blink, and the venom in the eyes of the youths intensified.

  But in the instant that the flames were rushing straight towards Jun Wu Xie, purple coloured spirit light suddenly exploded out from Jun Wu Xie’s body!

  In that mere instant, the purple coloured spirit light covered over the entire dungeon. Under the shroud of that purple coloured spirit glow, the ravenous momentum of the roaring fire was completely suppressed, the intense flames constantly being pushed down, where in the end they were squashed flat into the ground, and extinguished…..

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1788: “Conspire To Murder (2)”

  The four youths who were initially cackling with evil laughter suddenly found the smile at the corners of their mouths stiffen as they saw the strange scene happen before their eyes. They stared with eyes bulging wide and mouths hanging open to look at everything, unable to make themselves believe that a person could actually extinguish those raging flames with just their spirit power alone.

  The fire within the dungeon had been put out, the high temperature stifling. The dry straw that had burnt right up leaving behind ashes still present. But as for the searing flames, not even a spark remained.

  What kind of a damned spirit power was that! ?

  “Those that do not wish to die, scram the hell out.” Jun Wu Xie said as she slowly lifted her eyes up, the icy gaze sweeping over the youths outside one by one, a chill shooting right through their entire bodies from those words.

  Many people looked up to the Purple Spirit, and knew of the Purple Spirit’s strong might. But they all lacked experience in battling a Purple Spirit and hence did not have a deep understanding of the actual might of a Purple Spirit.

  Although Jun Wu Xie was sitting inside the jail cell now, but if she wished, even without moving from the spot she sat at, she would be able to send those four morons straight into Hell.

  The several youths felt their skin crawl under Jun Wu Xie’s icy gaze and the original glee and arrogance had seeped right out of them without a single trace left. The spirit power that had been able to encompass the entire dungeon, was thick and robust. Although they had been standing outside the jail cell earlier, but when the Purple Spirit power had suppressed the flames, the spirit power had reached highly close to them, separated only by that seemingly not to strong bars.

  It would only need to flare out a little bit further, and that spirit power would have been able to engulf them all within.

  At that moment, the hearts of the youths were filled with fear.

  “Chang….. Chang Huan….. Do be too full of yourself yet! There’s got to be someone who will be able to deal with you. You are now just a lowly prisoner of the Shadow Moon Palace!” The youth was almost scared out of his mind but he put on a brave front and said those threatening words, but the pale pallor of his face and the slight trembling of his legs betrayed his heart’s true feelings.

  The four of them did not dare to remain there another moment, immediately scurrying their way out after throwing out those spiteful words.

  Inside the dungeon, silence fell once again like it had been before, where even the wailing prisoners clamped their mouths shut.

  The little black cat came scuttling out from under the straw it had dug itself into, the dried grass stuck among its thick and fluffy fur. It then shook it body, to shake the straw loose.

  “Meow…..”

  [That Elder Ying did not keep his word. Didn’t he say that all you need to do is just to remain in here and it will be fine? How could he allow the Shadow Moon Palace Lord to kick you out of the Shadow Moon Palace?]

  The little black cat leapt into Ju
n Wu Xie’s arms. It was a spirit body, and the kind of damage fire could inflict on it was insignificant.

  “I have not been kicked out of the Shadow Moon Palace.” Jun Wu Xie said as she raised up a hand, to carefully pick out one by one, the fine remnants of the straw that was hidden under the little black cat’s fur.

  “Meow?”

  [Not kicked out? Then why would those few brats say that just now?]

  The little black cat muttered, as it swished its tail.

  “They wanted me to believe it, and accept what they claimed to be my punishment.” Jun Wu Xie said, the corners of her mouth curling up, to draw a sneer across her face.

  “Meow?”

  [What does that mean?]

  “If the Shadow Moon Palace Lord is not an idiot, then he would not kick a disciple who holds higher power than Yue Yi out of the Shadow Moon Palace.” Jun Wu Xie said.

  The Shadow Moon Palace might among the Twelve Palaces was on the lower end and they had not been able to get themselves any suitable candidates in the last Battle of Deities Grand Meet. The reason Elder Yue had wanted to be able to control Yue Yi so much was because of Yue Yi’s gift, who had already surpassed his use as an ordinary target to toy with. He seeked not only to control Yue Yi, but to also make use of Yue Yi’s worth.

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1789: “Conspire To Murder (3)”

  Yue Yi had still not been able to gain the recognition of the Shadow Moon Palace, then would “Chang Huan” who held a higher level of power than Yue Yi be able to do it?

  The Shadow Moon Palace Lord would not possibly want to kill a disciple who held so much potential to be able to fight the other palaces unless he wished for the Shadow Moon Palace to continue to decline.

  “Meow!”

  [You are saying, those scoundrels were just lying? They came here only to find trouble with you?]
