Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor's Wild Beast-Tamer Empress

Chapter 458: The Hypothetical Relationship between Feng Shen and Wu Chong

In that instant where she turned around to confront that voice, Ling Yue actually had the illusion that she was facing Wu Chong instead. Fortunately that only lasted for brief a second.

The names Yan Jiu, I am the Lord of this Underground City, the man introduces himself.

Though this person also wore a mask similar to that hateful person, its a definite hes not Wu Chong. The Ghost Emperor would never talk in such a manner. Furthermore, she cant even associate this individual with the pleasant voice to the rude and unreasonable person, the attitude was the polar opposite.

However, not everyone here was taking that friendly reception all that well. To the old monster, the friendlier this masked person was to them, the more unnerved he became. Its not that hes mistaking a good deed for evil, just that he knows full well how frightening Yin Jiu truly can be.

Although there are eighteen of these secret cities in existence, but that doesnt necessarily mean each City Lord was made equal. Yan Jius true identity was in fact the third commanding figure within the Underground Palace, meaning there are only the Ghost Emperor and another on top of him!

Lord Yan Jiu, if you were waiting for me to wake up first before pursuing the matter of your subordinates death then you can say it now.

Now this was quite surprising for this man. To see how quickly and calm the response was from the girl in light of having her face ruined, Yan Jius opinion of this one definitely improved somewhat. Make no mistake though, neither of them have forgotten the reason why they are in this predicament.

Miss, Ive already investigated the whole matter with Cheng Gang and his brother. Hes been executed as well as his entire family, does such result appease Miss? Yan Jius explanation instantly causes those present to turn white. One for the fact that the shorty was killed, the second being how quickly they worked.

Destroying a weed must be done at the roots, that much was true. However, to say it in a fashion like someone mentioning the weather of the day was. too much? Then again, this was consistent with the Underground Palaces usual practice of leaving no room for negotiation.

Ling Yue must admit, shes become more addicted to killing after the mutation with her Black Cauldron, but thats only because she was forced into a corner. Whats more, she had even readied herself to face the relentless pursuit of the Underground City after the incident, thats why this outcome caught her by such surprise.

Besides, this Yan Jiu aint fooling anyone, hes a ruthless character in and out. However, that tone, that friendliness, why does she keep getting the sensation that hes trying to flatter her?

Likely able to guess the doubt in the girls mind, Miss Ling Yue, you actually dont need to be so distant with me. Truth is, I also have another identity and that is Feng Shens brother. As for why I know about you, its because of this Phoenix Edict that fell out of your pocket.

Feng Shens brother? Then does that mean the reason Wu Chong is willing to act as his shadow guard is because of you? Too many fortuitous happenings have led her to start doubting some of the things in the past.

Looking back, from the beginning of where she headed to Glass City to the Sha Sects demise, Wu Chong would always appear in the most perfect timing. To say its not bizarre was an understatement, especially the last encounter in the Black Valley where Feng Shen was supposedly recovered by that bastard.

But now that she knows the connection between her man and this Yin Jiu, Ling Yue can finally understand why someone as rich as Feng Shen would only bring one bodyguard and Mr. Mu along with him to Da Xia.

Who would dare attempt a kidnap while in the presence of the Ghost Emperor? That would be suicidal!

No wonder that man would know about those private stuff between me and Feng Shen.

Recalling back to the embarrassing conversation she had from before, Ling Yues ear instantly started to burn. Fortunately theres a whole layer of bandages to cover her face, otherwise she wouldnt even know where to begin explaining herself.

But not all was well in this room with everyone, not for Jin Wu Monster anyways even after that last explanation. Almost as if hes having a cramp, the old monster repeatedly winks at the girl to signal its extremely rude to address the Ghost Emperor by his name.

Shadow guard, ughh, ha, well, this you better talk to him about it instead when he shows up in the coming day. Yin Jiu wasnt all that surprised that shes familiar with Feng Shen, after all, shes already holding the Phoenix Edict, but Wu Chong also?

When did Wu Chong ever become so interested in these little girls?

According to Yin Jius memory, that person had always been into the hot and sexy type, not these inexperienced lasses that never got baptized into the joy of life.

Feng Shen is coming? Subconsciously, a pang of reluctance fills the girls heart.

If she herself would loathe the current form that she has, what would the boy think? Whats more, this Underground City was no place for a person like Feng Shen who, in her view, was pure white and clean.

Feng Shen likely wouldnt come, but.. he would likely send someone to bring you the medicine. When reaching up to this point, Yin Jius tongue definitely started to stammer like he didnt want to make this part clear.

Hey now, this is not my fault for not speaking the truth, its you not asking about it.

In reality, he too didnt want that person to come knocking on his door right now. Its no secret how temperamental that person can be, now imagine what sort of ruckus he would cause knowing the cause was right now in this Underground City #9. It be strange if he didnt tear this place apart!

Shooting another glance over to the patient on the bed, Yin Jiu suddenly had the strange feeling of only a family would walk the same door here. Hes not blind, considering all the actions this girl did during her visit here, shes practically a second Feng Shen but in a girl form. Talk about misfortune after misfortune!

If it is just because of my face then theres no need to trouble Feng Shen. Our Da Xia may not be comparable to North Qings military strength but that doesnt mean our alchemic field is inferior. As someone equipped with the treasures of Mr. Red Mist and Lady Jade Poison Hand, Ling Yue has full confidence she can rejuvenate her flesh and body using her own strength.

Undoubtedly, theres a strong level of pride in that claim. If it was any other outside of Yin Jiu whose hearing this then they would surely take it as arrogance, but not to the man here, its very convincing for some reason.

Ladys injury is caused by us so of course it would be the Underground Citys responsibility. If my speculations are correct, all of you are here to seek out the source of the black fog am I correct? If thats the case, I suggest you look elsewhere. The cause is in North Qing, as well as the cure. Yin Jius word instantly catches their attention.
