Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 17

Jun Wu Xie looked at the youth. “Tell me and see what it’s about.”
Without knowing why, the youth felt that Jun Wu was not intending to kill him and there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him that this could be his very last chance right before his eyes.
“I am the godson of Elder Yue in the Shadow Moon Palace, or should it be said, I am his puppet…..”
The youth’s name was called Yue Yi and his parents were once disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace who unexpectedly lost their lives while out on a mission, leaving behind the merely seven year old Yue Yi and his three year old sister. After their parents died, Yue Yi and his sister were adopted by Elder Yue, to become Elder Yue’s grandson and granddaughter.
Elder Yue was an Elder of great seniority in the Shadow Moon Palace and had blood ties with the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, elevating his status a notch up above that of the other Elders.
From young, Yue Yi had shown himself to be rather gifted and after he was adopted by Elder Yue, Elder Yue had increased his daily cultivation training load, sparing no effort in grooming him.
This should have made Yue Yi feel indebted and grateful for the kindness shown in bringing him up but under that beautiful facade, was dirt that people could not even look straight at.
Yue Yi was handsome looking and had been highly outstanding from young. When he was very young, he was often mistaken as a girl.
Initially, when Yue Yi was just adopted by Elder Yue, he had not felt that there was anything amiss. Although Elder Yue was advanced in age, he was highly amicable and benevolent, and he treated his sister very well too.
Till one day when Yue Yi was summoned alone into Elder Yue’s room. That was when the nightmare began…..
What was shown on the surface, Yue Yi was the grandson that Elder Yue doted upon. But in truth, he became the vessel that Elder Yue vented himself upon, and as Yue Yi grew older and his powers increased, he still did not have any chances of breaking free from it.
Because his one and only blood kin, his very own sister, was under the grasp of Elder Yue’s hands.
For so many years, Yue Yi had been willing to endure everything, only because Elder Yue had never raised a hand against his sister, and that was the only one thing he cared about in life.
As long as his sister was held under the grip of Elder Yue, Yue Yi would never be free in this life.
Jun Wu Xie listened to everything that Yue Yi said, and her brows furrowed up slightly. She had been able to feel that Yue Yi’s loyalty wasn’t truly devoted to the Shadow Moon Palace but the truth behind that had made her utterly disgusted!
“I am unable to make any choices and you can either choose to kill me now or when I return to the Shadow Moon Palace and Elder Yue finds out about all of you ambushing the carriages, he would surely send me out in pursuit and persecution. I know that I myself am not a match for all of you but to avoid trouble, why not kill me now?” Yue Yi looked at Jun Wu Xie calmly as he spoke, like the unbearable past he spoke of was not his at all, and there was not the slightest glimmer of light within his eyes.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up. She had struck against the Twelve Palace seeking to protect herself and for vengeance. But when she came to understand that such dirty deeds were being committed within the Shadow Moon Palace, it just steeled her initial resolve to obliterate all of them.
Suddenly, Jun Wu Xie turned to look at Yue Yi and said: “It’s true you have no choice and before you now, there is only one path for you to take.”

Chapter 1664: “Choose Your Own Opportunities (3)”
“Kill off Elder Yue, destroy the Shadow Moon Palace and rescuing your sister. Will you walk on that path or not?” Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowed up slightly, staring straight at Yue Yi. She had not planned to strike at the Shadow Moon Palace so quickly but she didn’t mind bringing the matter forward a little.
Afterall, she wasn’t going to spare a single one of the palaces was she?
Yue Yi looked at Jun Wu Xie in surprise, a glint of shock in his eyes. This youth in front of him was obviously a few years younger than he was but without knowing why, every word the kid said made his heart shake and tremble a little.
“Whether you believe me or not, you do not need to choose now. After this trip to the Pure Grace Palace is done, it will still not be too late for you to choose.” Jun Wu Xie was in no rush to get a reply from him, as she knew very clearly what that reply would be.
As there was no other paths for him to retreat back into.
Just like she had been in the beginning, there had only been one path open for her to tread.
“During this period at the Pure Grace Palace, you will be the representative of the Shadow Moon Palace and we are all your companions. Do you understand?” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Yue Yi.
“You’re not afraid that I’ll betray you?” Yue Yi did not know from where Jun Wu was getting his confidence from. Not only was he not killed, he was given this level of freedom. Once he appeared within the Pure Grace Palace and if he was to reveal the truth of the situation there, then Jun Wu would find himself surrounded on all sides by enemies.
[Wasn’t he afraid of that happening at all?]
Jun Wu Xie lifted up an eyebrow. “Would you even give up on this one and only opportunity?”
Yue Yi was stunned and he immediately lowered his eyes.
“Ye Sha, untie him.” Jun Wu Xie ordered.
Ye Sha immediately unraveled the ropes tied around Yue Yi, his demeanor seemingly not on guard at all.
“You can go get yourself some rest now.” Jun Wu Xie said with a shrug of her shoulders.
Yue Yi gazed deeply at Jun Wu a moment before he turned and walked away.
Till Yue Yi had left, Ye Sha could not help but to open his mouth to ask: “Young Miss really trusts this person?”
Jun Wu Xie picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of hot tea before sipping at it slowly.
“Why not?”
People who had never experienced utter despair would never know how much the last straw of hope that could save your life really meant.
Trapped within a future devoid of all light, even when one had to bash through a path filled with blood and be branded as a murderer through the massacre, it would not dissuade that person in the slightest.
Yue Yi could choose not to think for himself, but he could not afford not to take just one gamble for the sake of his sister.
Having endured endless humiliation for his sister for so many years and daring to be so upfront with a complete stranger like her, this youth must have already been pushed into a desperate corner.
“Looking at Yue Yi, he should be around seventeen or eighteen years old and his sister should already be one who is just budding with beauty. For a devil who had not even been willing to spare a handsome youth like him, would he be able to keep his claws off a budding young lady?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes were lowered as they brimmed over with oozing hatred within.
What she could never tolerate, was filth such this this.
For Yue Yi to plead for death, would mean that he understood he had absolutely no hope to speak of at all. He must have realized what fate awaits his sister and he did not possess the power to save her from it, only seeking to disappear from this world to turn into a ferocious ghost, returning to claim lives.
Ye Sha was pensive hearing Jun Wu Xie’s words but Ye Gu just remained silent without a single word at the side.
Ye Gu and Ye Jie were two souls in one body and although they were not regular siblings, the sibling bond between them was true as it could be. Hence, Ye Gu had naturally been able to understand the kind of despair Yue Yi was feeling.
“As long as I make Yue Yi understand that by cooperating with me could fulfil his wish, why would he want to give up on this opportunity?” Jun Wu Xie said as she stared into the clear tea within her cup. This trip to the Pure Grace Palace, she had to have Yue Yi gain enough confidence.
Chapter 1665: “Let Me Infuriate Some People (1)”
It was extraordinarily lively and the Pure Grace Palace was teeming with activity. With the coming of the Palace Lord’s birthday, the Twelve Palaces sent people forth to bring well wishes. In the past few days, an endless stream of guests bearing gifts and well wishes had been highly numerous which had the Pure Grace Palace overladen with many treasures. Every single palace made a show of gestures and no matter how much they plotted against each other behind the scenes, this was however a birthday celebration and they had naturally made a grand show of it.
The Pure Grace Palace’s hands almost went limp receiving the gifts and their faces fought to maintain a smile to welcome and settle the guests in, seemingly eager to play a good host.
But in truth, things were not so.
The Pure Grace Palace Lord who should have been seated within the main hall to await the mass of people coming to deliver their well wishes was holding a rather grave expression on his face at that moment.
Several Elders were gathered within the study, the shade on their faces not looking too good.
The various palaces had under the pretext of bringing well wishes, sent many of their young, talented and good looking disciples, seeking to show off the powers their younger generation held, which was a point that made the Pure Grace Palace unable to smile at at all.
The Pure Grace Palace was in the bottom position among the Twelve Palaces and they had not been able to net themselves any youths that suited their fancy in the last Battle of Deities Grand Meet. Although they did recruit quite a number of people, but seeing before their eyes these most outstanding and brilliant youths who had been won by the other palaces, it stifled the Pure Grace Palace so much that they almost wanted to vomit out blood but were unable to do a thing about it.
They had only managed to find a youth who possessed rather good gift after much hardship and they were all prepared to bring him back to the palace to properly groom him but before he even set foot into the Pure Grace Palace, that youth had because of his lust for the fairer sex, been beaten up so badly as to sustain severe injuries by a girl from the Dragon Slayers Palace. His injuries had been extremely severe and even after countless physicians had been invited in to treat him after he was brought back to the palace, the result had made them all helpless. The youth’s cultivation meridians had been almost completely destroyed and wanting him to make a full recovery was almost something impossible.
Only by inviting the Medical Saint Bai Xu could it be possible for them to turn things around. But Bai Xu was enigmatic and his whereabouts unknown. Nobody knows where to find him and the letters they sent had been like rocks thrown into the seas, who knew when this unfortunate scoundrel would even get his turn?
And the main culprit that created this entire mess had just grandly come strutting in through the doors of the Pure Grace Palace following behind the Young Lord of the Dragon Slayers Palace, their faces overflowing with smiles.
The disciples standing at the front of the Pure Grace Palace receiving the guests spotted a ravishing and moving “young lady” approaching them gracefully to hand them the invitation and they were suddenly stunned by the delicate and pretty looks, staring rather dazedly.
The “young lady” beamed with a smile as “she” looked at the young Pure Grace Palace disciples and said: “The Dragon Slayers Palace’s Fei Yan is here with our Young Lord to bring our well wishes for the Pure Grace Palace Lord’s birthday.”
The mesmerized stare on the face of the Pure Grace Palace’s disciple shattered under Fei Yan’s smiling words, his face contorting up with disbelief and the eyes staring at Fei Yan became highly appalled!
[Fei Yan?]
[Isn’t that the girl that had beaten up that disciple from their Pure Grace Palace highly severely?]
The disciple from the Pure Grace Palace would not even in his dreams ever thought that Fei Yan would come here to the Pure Grace Palace so brusquely for the Palace Lord’s birthday celebrations.
Instead of saying they came here to send their well wishes….. it might be said that these guys were here to infuriate them!
It must be known that the person Fei Yan thrashed up had been a seedling highly regarded by the Palace Lord and the Elders. But though the seedling had been good, but he had been “deflowered” and was wilting, still sickly and frail in a courtyard in the back where it took him great effort to even walk.
Fei Yan’s appearance had caused the people in the Pure Grace Palace to be unable to smile at all and the gazes they threw at Fei Yan turned strange, the strong enmity within their eyes couldn’t be any more obvious.
But someone was just seemingly completely oblivious to the other party’s intense animosity as he beamed brightly at the bunch of the Pure Grace Palace’s disciples, that brilliant smile when seen by the eyes of those disciples, becoming highly scorching and stinging.
[Aren’t these scoundrels here to find trouble with them?]

Chapter 1666: “Let Me Infuriate Some People (2)”
Although the Twelve Palaces were not harmonious deep at heart, but on the surface, they still took care to put on a superficial show of cohesion. It wasn’t that there was no infighting behind the scenes, but despite fighting to one up each other, they all knew better than to invite gossip. At the very least, none would so blatantly send the chief culprit right up to the victim’s birthday celebration!
Wouldn’t that just be spurning others?
From what the Pure Grace Palace knew, Fei Yan’s actions in the incident was almost certainly the Dragon Slayers Palace’s idea.
With Fei Yan’s arrival at this moment, it just made the people from the Pure Grace Palace feel that the Dragon Slayers Palace had gone overboard in their bullying.
But as their were too many other guests around, they did not think it right to openly go against them, so they could only stiffly smile and stand there to stare at Fei Yan.
“Little Yan, is everything alright?” At that moment, a handsome faced young man walked slowly over, dressed in a full brocade robe, looking magnificent as his eyes looked straight at Fei Yan.
Fei Yan mirthful eyes flashed briefly with a glint of ridicule before immediately turning his head to beam brightly at the man to say: “Young Lord, I do not know the reason why, but the Pure Grace Palace does not seem to really welcome us.” As he spoke, Fei Yan lowered his head looking a little aggrieved, his eyes slowly looking forlorn.
The man creased up his brows and his eyes glinted with displeasure. But it was not directed at Fei Yan but towards the disciples of the Pure Grace Palace.
“I am Zhuge Yin from the Dragon Slayers Palace, and I am here unders my father’s orders to bring well wishes for the Palace Lord’s birthday. May I know if there is anything about this that displeases any of you?” Zhu Ge Yin said in a seemingly gentle voice, but there was a tinge of hardness in his tone.
When the Pure Grace Palace’s disciples heard Zhuge Yin announcing his family name, they immediately felt a chill down their backs.
Zhuge Yin was the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord’s only son!
Although they were a little flippant towards Fei Yan, but faced with the Young Lord of the Dragon Slayers Palace, they did not dare show the slightest lack of manners.
“Of course not, of course not! Please come in.” A disciple of the Pure Grace Palace’s discreetly wiped off the beads of cold sweat upon his brow, hurrying in a fluster to welcome the guest inside.
Zhuge Yin nodded his head slightly, his eyes exhibiting a slight haughtiness as he turned his head to Fei Yan and said: “Little Yan, we can go in now.”
“Yes, Young Lord.” Fei Yan nodded obediently.
The Dragon Slayers Palace had sent a total of about seven or eight people and Zhuge Yin was the leader of the delegation. Zhuge Yin had shown extra care and concern towards Fei Yan from the beginning and the other disciples of the Dragon Slayers Palace had seen it with their eyes, bu
t had naturally not dared to say anything about it.
“Little Yan, there is no need for you to feel any guilt. The Pure Grace Palace are not strict in their discipline which had then produced such scoundrels. Do not be aggrieved and you can rest assured that I will definitely seek justice for you.” Zhuge Yin said in a highly concerned voice as he looked at Fei Yan walking beside him. From what he saw, Fei Yan had been too soft with the people from the Pure Grace Palace and that shouldn’t be the way.
But thinking back about it, a pretty little thing like that should be protected by people, so Zhuge Yin was highly pleased with Fei Yan’s “demure” demeanor.
“Young Lord, I don’t think you need to….. We are here this time to bring well wishes and if any trouble starts because of me, the people from the Pure Grace Palace might not let the matter rest easily. If they come to harm the Young Lord, I really wouldn’t know what to do.” Fei Yan said with his head lowered, biting down nervously on his lip, the perfect portrayal of one who suffered a grave injustice.
The look, made Zhuge Yin’s heart thump wildly. If not for the fact that the location wasn’t right, he would wish for nothing more than to wrap Fei Yan into his arms to protect and soothe “her” properly.
“Harm me? The Pure Grace Palace? Would they even possess the guts to do that? Anything that happens, I am here. You do not have to worry at all. Just don’t let yourself suffer any aggrievement. I will redress the injustice for you.” Upon saying that, Zhuge Yin’s hand subconsciously moved, thinking to go around Fei Yan’s shoulder, to “properly comfort” the young lady.
In the end, right at that very moment…..
“PFFT! !”
