Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 9

by North Night (夜北)

  “Fourth Prince, your humble subject is needed on the battle stage.” She did not give any reply to Lei Fan and Jun Wu Xie had immediately turned to walk towards the battle stage after saying just a few short words.

  Highly expectant that Jun Xie would agree, Lei Fan was suddenly shocked, never expecting that it would result in such a situation.

  [Jun Xie had not only not groveled at his feet in gratitude but had instead….. completely disregarded his invitation?]

  [How can that be possible! ?]

  Lei Fan’s smiling face suddenly froze a moment and the bright eyes flashed with a tinge of malice.

  Due to the indulgence the Emperor showered upon him, as long as he opened his mouth to ask, there was nothing he could not get. Although Jun Xie had not properly rejected his invitation, but his blatant indifference and complete disregard was already seen to be a disguised form of rejection.

  “You have guts.” Lei Fan cursed below his breath through gritted teeth. Having been humiliated by Jun Xie in front of everybody, no matter how well Lei Fan could act, the expression on his face was becoming slightly dark.

  The gazes that all the other youths were giving Lei Fan was making him even more furious.

  He had never ever thought that Jun Xie would snub him so blatantly.

  His eyes stared at Jun Xie as he stepped up onto the stage and he already could not remain sitting there. He stood up suddenly and without even looking back once, he left the first battle district. This was the first time in his life that he had suffered rejection and the bitter taste left in his mouth was not something he wanted to experience ever again.

  Chapter 838 : “The Fourth Prince (5)”

  The news of the Fourth Prince’s visit to the first battle district quickly spread throughout the Imperial Palace, and reaching everyone’s ears was also the news of Lei Fan’s invitation that was met with Jun Xie’s….. complete disregard.

  Lei Chen had rushed to the Immortals’ Loft at the first instance and at that moment, Jun Wu Xie and the others were having a meal. When they saw Lei Chen suddenly appear looking highly flustered and anxious, they all put down their chopsticks.

  “What is going on? Does Your Highness want to eat with us?” Qiao Chu asked with a laugh with chopsticks still gripped in his hands.

  Lei Chen asked the waiter to be dismiss himself and he hurriedly went over to sit beside Jun Xie.

  “Lei Fan went to look for you?” Lei Chen asked, his voice heavily tinged with anxiety.

  Jun Wu Xie slowly chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it, before turning around to see Lei Chen’s face already covered in a thin sheen of perspiration.

  “You are being afraid.” She said calmly.

  Lei Chen did not mind that his anxiety was showing so obviously before Jun Xie and he nodded his head vigorously.

  “I am scared, really scared. For Lei Fan to go look for you, must have been under my Father’s suggestion. He is temporarily unable to make any rash moves but he can see that I am being rather close to you guys from the Zephyr Academy. All of you had stood out brilliantly and conspicuously in many of the battle districts in the Spirit Battle Tournament and drawn a lot of attention to yourselves, hence, my Father would naturally not be happy to see people with such overwhelming powers to be on such good terms with me. He has every intention of kicking me off my position as the Crown Prince to install his precious Fourth Prince onto it, doing everything he can to give all that is best to my fourth brother, so how can I not be worried? Compared to the power and authourity held by the Emperor, what can a mere Crown Prince do?”

  Lei Chen could not help but be frightened. In the first place, he did not understand why Jun Xie and his companions would want to help him and if it was because of the previous incident where they were set up and maligned before that had tied them together, that matter had been resolved by Jun Xie and if it was because of power and authourity, riches and prosperity, what the Yan Country’s Emperor was able to give was way more than he could.

  After Lei Chen became aware of Jun Xie’s astounding power and highly shrewd mind, he became more worried that Jun Xie would switch over to Lei Fan’s camp.

  Jun Wu Xie glanced at Lei Chen’s countenance with her eyes remaining a sea of calm.

  “I am not interested in being anyone’s study partner.” Jun Wu Xie said plainly, and although her voice was indifferent, it had allowed Lei Chen to heave a big sigh of relief.

  “Little Xie would have to be crazy for her to be someone’s study partner.” Qiao Chu mumbled softly in a low voice.

  Lei Chen turned to look questioningly at Qiao Chu and Qiao Chu immediately buried his head and dug furiously into his bowl of rice.

  “If you do not have any such intentions, I am greatly relieved. Truth be told, if even you left my side, I will not have anything else to retaliate against him with.” Lei Chen said with a heavy sigh. Those words were not to please Jun Xie’s ears, but was merely stating a fact.

  If Jun Xie had switched to help Lei Fan, Lei Chen really did not have any confidence that he can handle Jun Xie’s schemes.

  “I have rejected it.” Jun Wu Xie said, actually bothering to explain it one step further on this rare occasion.

  Her disregard towards Lei Fan in the battle arena was the best answer she could give. She could still remember after she had stepped up onto the battle stage, the expression on Lei Chen’s face that had twisted up with forcibly suppressed rage as he walked out of the arena.

  “Lei Fan is more intelligent than you are, but still not smart enough as he is still a little green.” Jun Wu Xie said, carrying the little black cat into her arms. Although Lei Chen was quick witted, he was not able to put on a complete act like Lei Fan was able to. But Lei Fan’s life so far had been too smooth sailing and although he possessed a nimble mind, his highly arrogant personality was his one big fault.

  At least, when she had shown the same utter disregard many times towards Lei Chen when they first met, Lei Chen had not shown such obvious displeasure then.

  “He had always displayed a high level of intelligence and if I had not become the Crown Prince before he was born, I would most likely have lost out to him.” Before Jun Xie, Lei Chen saw no point of hiding his incompetence.

  Chapter 839 : “The Fourth Prince (5)”

  “Mmm.” Jun Wu Xie nodded his head in earnest agreement.

  Lei Chen’s face turned ashen.

  Qiao Chu who was watching them almost laughed out loud. The little lass was always so straightforward she made people so exasperated they cough out blood. He saw the Crown Prince’s face turn a shade of green almost the same colour as the dish of vegetables on the table.

  “But, now that Lei Fan has appeared before you, that shows that my Father will continue to make moves towards you. Do you need me to do anything at this moment?” Lei Chen asked, looking at Jun Wu Xie.

  “No need.” Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

  Lei Chen did not continue to ask and just went on to chat a little with Qiao Chu and the others a little while before he left.

  After Lei Chen left, Jun Wu Xie and the others continued on with their meal like nothing had happened. While the people on the Immortals’ Loft were calm, someone within the Imperial Palace was however not in that calm a state.

  “Father! Just who does that Jun Xie think he is? Your son here had politely and courteously invited him to be my studying partner but he had not only refused to agree, he had completely shown me utter disregard! Could he have heard some untrue rumours about me and have developed dislike for me as the Fourth Prince?” Lei Fan stood looking well aggrieved within the Imperial Study, his exquisite face showing the young boy to be on the verge of tears.

  When the Emperor saw the little Prince looking so aggrieved, his heart immediately wrenched. Looking at that face which was so much like his most beloved woman, he hastily tried to comfort him in saying: “It’s just that that kid did not deserve you. Even when Little
Fan lowered himself with such modest humility, that kid did not know what was good for him. Don’t be sad anymore, since he missed the chance that was given to him, Father will find you an outstanding studying partner another day.”

  A very minute change came into Lei Fan’s eyes. Although he was angry with Jun Xie’s impertinence, Jun Xie’s outstanding powers had still moved him. He had already ordered men to look into the Zephyr Academy and he knew that the Zephyr Academy only had six disciples taking part in the tournament and every single one of them were rare and highly extraordinary geniuses!

  And among them, Jun Xie held the most potential. Besides his current spirit power level having reached the an astounding green, Lei Fan had come to realise Jun Xie was also a disciple of the Spirit Healer faculty. Just by the single fact that Jun Xie knew the Spirit Healing Technique, had made Lei Fan unwilling to so easily give up on winning over Jun Xie.

  “Father, he must have heard some slanderous lies and had misunderstood me. Although I am sad and hurt in my heart, but I know for a fact that he is still a rare talent that is hard to come by, and such prodigious talent must be kept within the Yan Country. We should work for the good of the Yan Country. People with outstanding talent would always hold some pride and to suffer this small bit of wrong, Your Majesty’s son is still able to handle it. It’s just that I am lost just what else I should do to make him realise I am really sincere.” Lei Fan said, looking highly distressed and lost at the Emperor. He did not want all those guys from the Zephyr Academy to end up in Lei Chen’s hands.

  “Little Fan is really sensible, looking at the big picture.” The Emperor said, highly moved as he looked at Lei Fan. “Rest assured, my son. Since you have your eyes set on Jun Xie, Father will definitely see to it that your wish is granted.”

  These few people from the Zephyr Academy, the Emperor himself had already intended not to let them go so easily. Such rare talents were hard to find and keeping them in the Yan Country would definitely be a great help to them.

  Lei Fan smirked in his heart in glee but on the surface, he was however nodding his head in strict obedience.

  After another round of soft and gentle comforting whereby Lei Fan was bestowed with a heap of treasures, the Emperor finally arranged for Lei Fan to leave. Immediately after Lei Fan left, the benign smile on the Emperor’s face quickly faded and he called out. A blank robed man appeared suddenly in the Imperial Study.

  “What instructions does Your Majesty have for your loyal subject?” The black robed man asked, kneeling upon the ground.

  “With your failure in regards to the matter with the Crown Prince, I am now giving you an opportunity to make amends.” The Emperor said.

  “I await Your Majesty’s orders!”

  “Little Fan had his eyes set on Jun Xie from the Zephyr Academy but that impertinent kid did not know what’s good for him. Such arrogance and pride in a youth needs his ego to be deflated a bit.” The Emperor said, his eyes narrowing dangerously, his eyes suddenly turning vicious.

  Volume 9

  Chapter 840 : “Trumped Up Charges (1)”

  The tournament in all the various battle districts had reached the final round, and in the first battle district, the final two contestants had been whittled down to Jun Wu Xie and Qu Ling Yue.

  Although Qu Ling Yue possessed significant power, but Jun Xie’s spirit power level completely surpassed hers. The result of this final match had become the focus of many people as with one more victory, the winner would win a position among the top ten ranks of the Spirit Battle Tournament as well. And the things that the top ten ranks of the Spirit Battle Tournament received every year at the end of the tournament, always made people can’t help themselves but drool.

  On this day, all the previous contestants of the first battle district had come to the arena. They were all highly excited to witness the battle in this final match up.

  Of course, they were more keen on seeing the process of that battle rather than the result. With Jun Xie with his green spirit standing before them, they knew he would dominate over everyone, and even Qu Ling Yue would not be his match.

  However…..

  With every single opponent that battled Jun Xie, not a single one among them had been able to last through his first strike. Qu Ling Yue’s power in the first battle district was inferior only to Jun Xie and everyone was highly anticipating to see whether Qu Ling Yue would be able to last a little longer under Jun Xie’s hands…..

  Just a little bit longer….. at least…..

  The match not yet begun, and the arena was packed to the brim. Jun Xie and Qu Ling Yue had both arrived and were currently walking onto the stage, to strange facing each other.

  The pretty and adorable Qu Ling Yue was looking at the young youth standing before her but her eyes did not dare look into her opponent’s face, seemingly just by staring hard enough at a spot bedside Jun Xie, a duplicate image would appear there.

  Jun Wu Xie stood calmly on the battle stage and she no longer found Qu Ling Yue’s reaction as strange. The pretty little girl was always hiding and dodging whenever they met but Jun Wu Xie was able to see that Qu Ling Yue meant her no harm.

  Very soon after, the bell rang signalling the start of the match. All eyes were widely peeled and unwaveringly fixed upon the battle stage.

  Jun Wu Xie pushed her spirit power to go flare out brightly and at the same time, Qu Ling Yue accumulated her spirit powers into her hands.

  Suddenly!

  The figure of Jun Wu Xie disappeared from the stage. The speed that she was moving at was just like the last few battles she fought.

  Qu Ling Yue was shocked, as she tried to spot for the figure of Jun Xie but it was futile. The difference between their spirit power levels made her feel so weak and helpless at that moment!

  And just as that brilliant green flash had reached Qu Ling Yue’s side, the nervously defending Qu Ling Yue suddenly showed agony on her face and in a blink, Qu Ling Yue suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood and her slender body slumped down limply before everyone’s eyes!

  Jun Wu Xie quickly retracted the spirit powers in her hands and quickly appeared beside Qu Ling Yue.

  “What happened! ?” Everyone was in a state of shock. The announcer rushed up onto the stage in a fluster to check on Qu Ling Yue’s condition. Qu Ling Yue was pale in the face and she was continuing to vomit blood out from her mouth. The bright red stains at the scene were highly glaring to the eyes and the stench of blood began to spread thickly throughout the arena.

  “Jun Xie! The tournament only requires you to subdue your opponents! Don’t you know that!” The announcer hurriedly helped Qu Ling Yue up, his face twisted up in rage as he stared at Jun Xie. Qu Ling Yue’s identity was unique and if anything happened to her in this Spirit Battle Tournament, the people from the Thousand Beast City would not let them off easily.

  Jun Wu Xie remained standing on one side with a deep frown on her face as she looked at Qu Ling Yue’s face that was growing paler by the minute.

  No one knew that she had not even had time to yet strike Qu Ling Yue when Qu Ling Yue had suddenly collapsed. All the way from the start to the end, she had not touched a hair on Qu Ling Yue at all.

  The battle arena erupted into chaos and Qu Ling Yue was sent for treatment immediately, while everyone else left in the battle arena were staring at Jun Wu Xie with horror.

  Volume 9

  Chapter 841 : “Trumped Up Charges (2)”

  Jun Xie’s power was well known to everyone. Although Jun Xie had defeated all his previous opponents in a blink, he had never once wounded them mortally. But on this day, before their very own eyes, Jun Xie had struck at Qu Ling Yue till she was vomiting blood incessantly. When they saw the state Qu Ling Yue was in while she was being carried off, everyone knew things were going to turn ugly.

  From what they could see, Qu Ling Yue had sustained highly severe internal injuries!

  As the battle arena erupted into a chaotic clamour, a troop of guards suddenly r
ushed in. They were holding swords gripped in their hands and they were all looking at Jun Xie still standing on the battle stage.

  “You are Jun Xie?”

  Jun Wu Xie’s cold gaze swept over the troop of guards and her eyes narrowed.

  “Yes.”

  “The Spirit Battle Tournament prohibits its participants from mortally wounding the lives of others. Qu Ling Yue is currently in a coma from her severe wounds and her life is at risk. You have been too brutal with your attacks and have gone against the rules of the Spirit Battle Tournament. We will have to ask that you come with us!” One of the guards said in a cold tone.

  The battle arena broke into another round of a tumultuous roar. The Spirit Battle Tournament did indeed have such a rule, they were allowed to battle but were not allowed to kill their opponents. If they were to take someone’s life, they would be unilaterally sanctioned.

  Jun Wu Xie stated coldly at the guards who had rushed in all well prepared and the corners of her mouth hooked up in a chilling smile. She cooperatively raised both her hands up in front of her but with that movement, all the guards immediately tensed up nervously!

  “What are you thinking of doing! ?”

  Jun Wu Xie raised a eyebrow and asked: “Didn’t you say you are going to take me away?” She pressed her arms together and cold mirth flashed in her eyes.

  [They had gotten here real fast.]

  The guards finally relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief. They all knew Jun Xie possessed a green spirit and none among them was Jun Xie’s match. Fortunately, Jun Xie was being cooperative and one of the guards immediately brought a coil of chains and walked to stand before Jun Xie, to chain up his hands securely, before quickly bringing him out.

  Jun Wu Xie allowed herself to be led away by the team of guards and she was thrown right into prison, while the entire Imperial Capital was thrown into another uproar.
