Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 4

by North Night (夜北)

  Hua Yao was shocked after hearing Qin Yue’s rant and a incredulous notion crept into his mind. He innocuously glanced at the black cat, as his suspicion grew stronger.

  Jun Family….. Didn’t Jun Xie shares that same name?

  And, did Qiao Chu not first meet Jun Xie in the very same Imperial City of Qi?

  Hua Yao had been curious about what had caused Jun Xie to harbour such deep hatred for the Qing Yun Clan, to want to obliterate the whole lot of them. Now, it seemed that if his suspicions were right, Jun Xie was closely linked to the Jun Family that killed Qin Yu Yan, and Jun Xie’s intention to wipe out the Qing Yun Clan was to strike first at the enemy while they were unprepared.

  In that scenario, if the Qing Yun Clan remained, the Jun Family would be the one annihilated!

  As working partners, no matter if Jun Xie was linked to the Jun Family in question, Hua Yao decided to probe further on Jun Xie’s behalf. “You don’t need me to do that, wouldn’t just a few of the highly skilled resident mercenaries of the Qing Yun Clan would be more than enough to squash them completely?”

  A frosty laugh escaped from Qin Yue’s throat: “A straight death would be too easy on them, I want them to suffer a fate worse than death! I will bring them back to the Qing Yun Clan, and feel every bit of the agonising torment I would inflict on them, and have them beg to be killed! Nothing less than that would appease the anger and hatred in my heart!”

  Those that killed my daughter must not be allowed to walk the earth! If her murderers were not put through insufferable torment, his daughter’s soul would not find peace!

  Hua Yao nodded in supposed agreement.

  Jun Wu Xie’s soul within the little black cat narrowed its eyes after hearing Qin Yue’s words. She appreciated Hua Yao gesture of thoughtfulness after finding out Qin Yue did not intend to send a force to the Qi Kingdom.

  But even if he did, Jun Wu Xie was undeterred.

  The fact that she dared to leave the Qi Kingdom meant that she had absolute confidence. Before she obliterated the Qing Yun Clan, no matter who Qin Yue sent, they would not be able to lay a finger on the Jun Family.

  “It’s just killing a few people, I can agree to that. But in exchange, I need you to agree to one condition I have.” Hua Yao asked, his eyes intently watching Qin Yue.

  “What is it?” Qin Yue asked frowning. His mind was dead set on vengeance for Qin Yu Yan and he would agree to any conditions that Ke Cang Ju wanted.

  Hua Yao grew a little more confident and he smiled: “I might have called it a condition, but it’s actually a necessity for me to carry out your daughter’s vengeance. In my opinion, there aren’t many people capable of killing Jiang Chen Qing, and if my memory serves me correctly, several highly skilled exponents had also accompanied Jiang Chen Qing’s and the Eldest Miss’ delegation and they were all killed. That makes me suspect that the Qi Kingdom has experts with them. I am sure you are aware that the effects of poisons are weakened when used on skilled people, and the more highly skilled they are, the weaker the effects will be. If you want revenge for your daughter’s death, you will have to help me with it.”

  Qin Yue stared at Hua Yao and said impatiently: “What do you need from me? Just tell me straight!”

  Hua Yao laughed lightly and said: “It is very simple in fact. New recruits are too weak and I have lost interest in using them as experimental specimens for my research. I am not able to yield enough results from them. The disciples within the twelve peaks are skilled and they have always nurtured and developed their bodies. Their spiritual powers might not be parallel to expert exponents but the condition of their bodies are much better than many others. If I can use them to experiment my poisons, the results will give a more accurate reflection of its effects and inflict more agonising torment on the people who murdered your daughter, wouldn’t you agree?”

  Hua Yao’s words made Qin Yue hesitate for a long while as he turned to face that hideous countenance, as the words sunk in.

  “You want to use the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan to test your poisons?” Qin Yue’s voice had turned cold.

  Hua Yao pushed on, “Why not? The Qing Yun Clan has so many disciples. If I just pick a few of them from each peak separately, it would not hurt them much anyway. Rest assured that I will not target any from you.”

  “Ke Cang Ju! You are going a little too far this time!” Qin Yue stood up furiously. Did Ke Cang Ju know what he was asking for!? Using formally accepted disciples of the QIng Yun Clan as experiments for his poison, and he is targeting to use the disciples of the other Elders? That would be a big slap across the faces of the other Elders!

  All the Inner House disciples of the Qing Yun Clan knew what kind of place the Hidden Cloud Peak was. If they were taken away just like that, how would the other disciples of the respective Elders see their own Masters!?

  Hua Yao laughed coldly: “My authority in the Qing Yun Clan cannot be compared to yours. I am seeking the permission to carry out your request and I will need the authority from yours truly. Authority that came with the position of the Sovereign of the Qing Yun Clan which became yours to command. If you did not crave for that authority then, the coveted position of the Qing Yun Clan’s Sovereign might have fallen into the hands of Mu Chen of the Cloud Treading Peak.” Hua Yao imitated Ke Cang Ju’s shrill high pitched voice perfectly.

  Hua Yao’s obvious insinuation made Qin Yue turn pale and he clenched his fists tightly. Using all his might, Qin Yue pushed down the surging urge to smash the mouth of the nefarious Ke Cang Ju that had uttered those threatening words.

  He had been very tempted to kill Ke Cang Ju on countless occasions, but he had held himself back for two good reasons. One was that Ke Cang Ju held evidence of Qin Yue’s plot when he had poisoned his own Master, and the second reason was that Ke Cang Ju was extremely well versed with poison. Although he was not equipped with any spiritual powers, the myriad poisons Ke Cang Ju hid upon himself might result in them both to perish together.

  Among the two reasons, both held Qin Yue’s hand back, and even forced him to submit to Ke Cang Ju.

  Qin Yue drew in a long breath, before he sat back down on the chair.

  “I am sure you must have realised, that if I am to accede to your request, I would not be able to answer to the other Elders…” Succumbing to Ke Cang Ju’s threat, Qin Yue did not have much of a choice but to comply.

  Volume 4

  Chapter 309: “Obliterate (4)”

  “I will leave it to our Sovereign to decide on how to and what to do to make it work for us.” Hua Yao refused to budge even with Qin Yue’s change of tact. He was not Ke Cang Ju and he did not care if he angered Qin Yue, not even if it made Qin Yue want to kill him for it. The only thing that mattered to Hua Yao was whether he could stir up chaos within the Qing Yun Clan.

  Qin Yue stared angrily at Ke Cang Ju and remained quiet for a long while before he finally blurted out: “Alright! I agree to it! But you have to promise not to touch any of the Elders’ direct disciples. And you have to give me the poison in the shortest time possible because I refuse to wait!” Blinded by his desire for revenge for his daughter’s murder, and buckling under Ke Cang Ju’s obvious threat, Qin Yue had no choice but to give in to Ke Cang Ju’s unreasonable demands.

  Although Qin Yue was aware that Ke Cang Ju’s demand would bring him great resistance and anger from the other Elders, he was nevertheless confident, that the Qing Yun Clan was firmly under his control and even the displeasure of the Elders would not bring about anything catastrophic.

  Qin Yue’s arrogance would soon make him eat his own words. He had thought that although Ke Cang Ju was being arrogant, he would know the limits and not overstep the boundaries. Little did he realise, the Ke Cang Ju before him had been replaced with a different person, and this person, Hua Yao, together with Jun Wu Xie had wanted nothing more than to wreck havoc and plunge the Qing Yun Clan into chaos as they had never see
n!

  “Rest assured, I am sure you will be satisfied with it.” His objective achieved, Hua Yao did not speak much after that and just nodded his head in agreement as Qin Yue continued to rant, but in his heart, he was silently laughing.

  Despite all the grand plans he had for the Jun Family and the Emperor of Qi, Qin Yue was not aware that the very man right before him whom he was sharing his plans with, was plotting his demise right there in the Qing Yun Clan.

  After Qin Yue was seemingly satisfied with the answer he got, he got up to leave.

  As Qin Yue neared the door of the study, Hua Yao suddenly said: “Remember to keep that map safe.”

  Qin Yue’s footsteps slowed and he froze a moment, as his back straightened. He remained silent for a while before he replied softly: “I know. It is very safe.”

  Qin Yue had his back to Hua Yao then or he might have caught a flash of joy that showed briefly in Hua Yao’s eyes when he replied.

  Qin Yue left, and only Hua Yao was left with the little black cat alone in the room.

  Silence permeated, and finally Hua Yao laid his head on his palm and stared at the little black cat who had remained silent throughout all this while and asked: “Was your family the ones behind the killing of Qin Yu Yan and Jiang Chen Qing?”

  Jun Wu Xie turned her furry head and looked calmly at Hua Yao. With Hua Yao’s quick mind, it was not difficult for him to be able to piece the facts together.

  “It was me.” She replied honestly.

  Hua Yao was taken aback at her honest reply and suddenly laughed out loud.

  “So that’s why you wanted to wipe out the Qing Yun Clan. You had expected today’s events to happen all this time. You reasoned that if Qin Yue is allowed to to react before you do, you would have insufficient power to retaliate, and you have decided to wipe out the Qing Yun Clan a step before they do?”

  “Yes.” Jun Wu Xie said simply.

  Hua Yao looked intently at the little black cat. Through that pair of cold eyes, he seemed to be able to get a glimpse of a sliver of the soul within that little body.

  “After the matter with the Qing Yun Clan is settled, if you have the time, would you go back together with us?” He thought, at such a young age, and to possess such a calm and meticulous mind, made for an incredible combination.

  “Didn’t I already agree to it?” The black cat narrowed its eyes and jumped off the table.

  “Qin Yue did not seem to have any limits to Ke Cang Ju’s indulgent demands, as long as it did not threaten his position as the Sovereign. We are free to go do anything we want in the other peaks, anyway we want. Do not squander this opportunity.” Jun Wu Xie left behind these words and leapt nimbly out with the black cat’s body.

  Hua Yao watched the black cat leap before his eyes and his smile reached those eyes in that rare instant. If it was Jun Xie, he just might be able to produce the medicine.

  Volume 4

  Chapter 310: “Fear Spreads (1)”

  Qin Yue had flew into an almost uncontrollable rage at the news of Qin Yu Yan’s death and he could not wait to exact maniacal revenge upon the Jun Family and the Imperial Family of Qi, to the point that he inflicted unimaginable torment on the murderers of his only daughter even in his dreams.

  Sadly for him, never in those dreams had he even thought that the very Jun Wu Xie, the very person responsible for the death of his beloved daughter, was right there in the Qing Yun Clan, listening in to his every word as he plotted his revenge.

  Qin Yue wanted to annihilate the Jun Family, and Jun Wu Xie intended to bury the whole of the Qing Yun Clan.

  One was hidden and the other had exposed all for his enemy to see, the game began here right in the deep recess of the Cloudy Peaks.

  The might of the Qing Yun Clan did not allow Jun Wu Xie any mistake. If she failed to wipe out the Qing Yun Clan in its entirety, it would spell unmistakable doom for the Jun Family.

  Returning to the disciples’ quarters, the little black cat entered its room under the watchful eyes of Qiao Chu, and exchanged its soul back to her original body.

  Back in her own body, Jun Wu Xie sat up slowly, her eyes expressionless. The little black cat lay upon her lap, feeling rather tired as the it’s tiny soul had expended quite a bit of its energy to sustain Jun Wu Xie’s bigger body.

  Jun Wu Xie looked out at the rays of sunlight that fell in through the window from the rising sun. Just like her mission, it was only just started to shine.

  Hua Yao had gotten Qin Yue initial consent and the Qing Yun Clan was slated to see a wave of chaos coming. Within that chaos, Jun Wu Xie would only need to prod the QIng Yun Clan lightly from here onwards, towards their doom.

  Later that very same day, Hua Yao made an appearance as the sinister Ke Cang Ju, and led Jun Wu Xie and Qiao Chu, his two recently favoured “disciples”, and paid a visit to their closest neighbour, the Ash Cloud Peak.

  The Ash Cloud Peak had previously been under Jiang Chen Qing. After the demise of Jiang Chen Qing, the running of the Ash Cloud Peak fell into the hands of his most senior disciple Gao Xiong. When the news of Qin Yu Yan’s death had arrived, news of Jiang Chen Qing’s passing was passed to the Ash Cloud Peak. All the disciples within the peak were still in mourning and Jiang Chen Qing’s three direct disciples were devastated that they could not even conduct a proper burial for their revered Teacher.

  When Hua Yao and his two other “disciples” appeared before the Ash Cloud Peak, Gao Xiong was talking to his fellow disciples with his eyes red rimmed. Upon seeing “Ke Cang Ju”, he wiped his hand across his eyes and hurried forward in greeting.

  “Elder Ke.”

  Hua Yao glanced at Gao Xiong dismissively and said: “Under the orders of the Sovereign, I am here in the Ash Cloud to pick a few disciples to help out at the Hidden Cloud Peak.”

  Gao Xiong froze, knowing exactly what kind of place the Hidden Cloud Peak was.

  That was the place that all the disciples from the other peaks avoided at all times. As not only the common disciples of the Hidden Cloud Peak but even Ke Cang Ju’s own direct disciples had been known to mysteriously disappear often, and though unspoken, they all knew where those disciples had disappeared to.

  Now, Elder Ke himself had come before the Ash Cloud Peak personally to “select” disciples. The unexpected demand made Gao Xiong felt a chill run up his spine.

  Ke Cang Ju’s definition of help meant that the disciples selected would soon give up their lives!

  “Elder Ke, our Master had just passed away, do you…..” Gao Xiong’s voice was hoarse and sweat ran down his back. When Jiang Chen Qing was still around, he did not have much to fear even in the face of Ke Cang Ju as Jiang Chen Qing would have their backs. But with Jiang Chen Qing’s passing, Ke Cang Ju had wasted no time to come right up to the Ash Cloud Peak and demanded that they hand disciples over to him. It was an obvious instance of bullying the peak without an Elder’s protection!

  Gao Xiong did not dare to express his rage and could only look at Ke Cang Ju helplessly.

  “It is precisely because your Master is no longer around that I, as an Elder of the Qing Yun Clan am aggrieved and am offering to care for these poor disciples on your Teacher behalf. Gao Xiong, you better know your place and I am here merely just to select a few disciples. Rest assured, you and your two fellow senior disciples would be spared as I am gracious enough to leave Elder Jiang his favoured direct disciples to at least take up his mantle to carry on his legacy.” Hua Yao declared domineeringly.

  Chapter 311: “Fear Spreads (2)”

  Gao Xiong’s face paled visibly. Those words could not have been any clearer. Ke Cang Ju had obviously insinuated that he would not be leaving without Ash Cloud disciples going back with him. The Ash Cloud Peak had lost Jiang Chen Qing’s protective wing and if he persisted to go against Ke Cang Ju, he would in turn become the one in trouble!

  “This….. this way please, Elder Ke.” Gao Xiong steeled his heart as he uttered those hated words.

  Hua Yao nodded in satisfaction and led Jun Wu Xie and Qiao Chu intrusively into the Ash Cloud Peak and walked obtrusively within.

  The three of them attracted all the curious gazes from the disciples of the Ash Cloud Peak. In moments, Gao Xiong revealed Elder Ke’s purpose of visit was to “select” disciples from among them and the news spread fast and furiously.

  At that moment, the curious gazes turned to ones of fury and they all sensed the impending danger. They all knew the consequences from being selected only too well, and what Ke Cang Ju’s true intentions were.

  If chosen, and brought back to the Hidden Cloud Peak, they would only face the inescapable fate of untold torment.

  All the disciples prayed, that Elder Ke would not “grace” them with his eye.

  Qiao Chu followed behind Hua Yao, looking at the disciples shrinking back in terror, he suddenly felt like a butcher about to choose livestock.

  “Why do I feel like I am a villain?” Qiao Chu asked, rubbing his nose.

  “If they are given a chance to retaliate, they would in turn become the villains. The reason you feel pity for them now is because we hold the upper hand now and they are victimised and can only submit themselves to our whims. If not for Jun Xie’s ingenuity, we would be the ones persecuted and victimised instead.” Hua Yao did not feel the least bit guilty. He had come to the Qing Yun Clan earlier than Qiao Chu, and in that period of a short half month, he had clearly seen the hidden hideous and ugly face of the mightiest clan throughout the lands.
