Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 15

“Duke Lin gifted this skill to Your Lady and the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Grand Tutor, and urged us to impart the skill to the citizens as well. Although the time we had available for us to learn it was rather short, but we have already seen it taking initial effect.” Qu Ling Yue explained with a smile on her lips. The first time she saw that skill, she had not been able to believe that such a mystifying skill could exist in this world.
Throughout the Fire Country’s army, almost everyone had learnt the skill and although their spirit powers were not that powerful, they were still at least capable of that instantaneous explosion of their spirit powers.
And when a million Purple Spirits gathered together go on a rampage at the same time, even if they were only able to maintain it for a mere thirty seconds, it was enough for them to inflict a earth shattering effect!
The Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom having received the Condor Country’s legacy had their military might greatly increased. With the addition of the Fire Country’s army, they could be said to be a coalition of a highly formidable force. And it was precisely because the armies of the three countries possessed such prowess that they were able to deploy their soldiers to reinforce the other countries, otherwise, with the overwhelming ferocity of the Poison Men, they would have found it difficult to even protect themselves.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head. She knew very well how intense the effects of that skill could be, the skill she had unraveled from the last words her “Master” had left behind.
It was not just the armies of the three countries, even the common citizens who had never joined the military had learnt it and the skill had pervaded the general population of the three countries. Young children who had just begun to cultivate with their Ring Spirits were also already taught the skill.
It could also be said that even if the three countries did not have any army manning their borders, the citizens themselves would be enough to defeat the Poison Men army.
The Poison Men were powerful only when compared against the average human. Equipped with the skill to temporary raise one’s spirit power level even for just an instant, would be enough to destroy the Poison Men!
As they were talking, the Grand Adviser Wen Yu and Lei Chen came rushing in in a hurry. The two men stepped into the great hall and looked with pleasant surprise at Jun Wu Xie who was seated inside the great hall, where they immediately knelt in greeting.
Meanwhile, Wen Yu’s tranquil gaze froze slightly when he saw Jun Wu Xie. The others might not have noticed, but he could clearly feel that Jun Wu Xie’s current powers had already broken through to the Purple Spirit!
In just a short year’s time, she had actually grown from the blue spirit to the Purple Spirit!

The moment that realization formed in Wen Yu’s head, a guess rose up suddenly.
Could it be, that Jun Wu Xie had really found the Dark Emperor’s tomb?
Wen Yu pushed down the shock within his heart and quietly observed Qiao Chu and the rest of the companions who had journeyed with Jun Wu Xie, where he immediately realized that all the youths had also broken through to the Purple Spirit as well! But what really quaked Wen Yu was instead from the one standing at the side of Jun Wu Xie’s throne, a man who looked devishly engaging.
Even with the level of his own powers, he was actually unable to detect that man’s powers!
In such a situation, it could only mean that his powers was far higher than him by several times for that to happen!
At Jun Wu Xie’s side, there was actually such an expert hidden!
“I’ve not seen Your Majesty for quite a long while. Are things fine?” Lei Chen asked with a smile, completely oblivious to the changes in Jun Wu Xie’s powers.
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
“Grand Adviser, Prince. His Majesty returned because of the incidents with those monsters and you need only tell His Majesty all that you know about them and that will do.” Qu Ling Yue said from the side, her tone of voice clearly different from when she had been speaking to Jun Wu Xie.
Lei Chen nodded and secretly looked at Qu Ling Yue whose personality had changed completely. Who would have thought the bumbling and innocent little lass from before would actually change to become like this? His heart was highly emotional, but there was nothing he could do.
Lei Chen was mainly in charge of affairs that called for him to evenly distribute the resources and supplies. In a war, there was a need for funds, and the kind of funds a war called for was astronomical. If the Fire Country was only defending themselves, with the Fire Country’s wealth, it would merely be a drop in the ocean. But the Fire Country had been incessantly sending their soldiers out to reinforce the other countries and the military supplies, medicine, food rations the reinforcement contingents needed would all increase in folds.
The blood of the Poison Men contained strong poison and lands that had been tainted with the blood of the Poison Men would suddenly turn barren. That had destroyed many farmlands and the sources for food had turned to cause a big drain on them. The war had gone on for an entire year and within this one year, the wealth the Fire Country had accumulated over so many years was depleting at an alarming rate.
Although the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom had received the Condor Country’s wealth, but as the Condor Country had been prone to battle and they were a country that diverted gains made from one battle right into another, their treasury had been sparse, where there wasn’t actually much benefits to gain in that aspect.
Hence, the Fire Country had not only needed to carry supplies to just the Fire Country’s army alone but they had also needed to take the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom into consideration as well.
That had increased the drain upon the Fire Country’s treasury by a large margin and it was now already empty. Lei Chen was at that point worrying how he was going to raise those supplies.
This was the first time that the Fire Country had had to worry about money since their founding.
But at present, the lands were in turmoil and not a single country had abundance in their national treasury so even if he wanted to borrow to tide them over, there wasn’t anybody to borrow from.
Battle prowess, they had it. But now they were stuck with the need for money and that really made Lei Chen want to cry but no tears came out.
“Your vassal has already ordered men to raise funds within the country and I hope we will be able to hold out for a while. Our Fire Country’s situation is still not that bad currently, but the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom are in worse shape and I do not know how long they can last.” In tumultuous war, stabilizing the citizens’ popular sentiment was most important. The Fire Country had not only needed to feed their own citizens, they also had to allow the refugees from the other countries they had received to scrape out a living.
Fortunately the Fire Country was wealthy and their people strong, or they would not have been able to bear the burden.
“No need for such superfluous actions.” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
Lei Chen looked at Jun Wu Xie in puzzlement.
“But Your Majesty…..” They really had no more money…..
“Ye Jie.” Jun Wu Xie said as she turned her head slightly, calling out to the little girl hiding in the corner who was carrying a little hamster in her hands.
Ye Jie who heard her name being called out immediately raised her head nervously.

Ye Sha gave a slight cough from the side indicating Ye Jie to go on over. Unaccustomed to interacting with others, Ye Jie half side of her face flushed red as she stepped with her little silver belled feet, the bells tinkling as she walked to come before Jun Wu Xie.
“Ye Jie here…..” She answered with a weak voice.
“Hand the Hell Rodent over to me.” Jun Wu Xie said as she stretched her hand towards Ye Jie.
Ye Jie then quickly handed the Hell Rodent over to Jun Wu Xie’s hand almost without a moment’s hesitation.
Hugging a chestnut to its chest, the Hell Rodent was still snoring asleep when it was poked awake by Jun Wu Xie’s fingertip. It then stood up groggily upon Jun Wu Xie’s palm, its tiny paws still grasping the chestnut tightly.
That was a prize he had just barely managed to snatch from under Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit’s paws!
“Squeak?” The Hell Rodent looked at Jun Wu Xie in confusion.
Jun Wu Xie stroked its tiny belly and she found the soft furry sensation under her fingers highly irresistible.
“Throw up.”Jun Wu Xie said.
The Hell Rodent blinked its eyes and turned its head to look at Ye Jie. When it saw Ye Jie nod her head, it finally released that chestnut in its paws and after carefully placing it on Jun Wu Xie’s palm, it opened its little mouth and dug its paws into its mouth!
After that, Lei Chen stared with his eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped when he saw the puny sized Hell Rodent pulling out an egg sized luminous pearl from inside its mouth!
“Squeak!” The Hell Rodent held the luminous pearl before Jun Wu Xie’s eyes.
But Jun Wu Xie still shook her head.
The Hell Rodent stuffed the luminous pearl back into its mouth and then pulled a beautiful piece of jade out from its mouth. The eyes of Little Jue standing on the side immediately lit up!
“Squeak?”
Shook head.
Magical artifact.
“Squeak?”
Shook head.
After seeing the things the Hell Rodent pulling out from its mouth becoming more and more mind blowing, Jun Wu Xie then simply pointed at the glittery golden dragon throne she was seated upon.
The Hell Rodent immediately understood what Jun Wu Xie meant as it pulled out a gold bar from inside its mouth with a flourish!
Jun Wu Xie then nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Continue.”
Hence, the Hell Rodent then leapt off from Jun Wu Xie’s palm and stood upon the dragon throne as it pulled solid gold bars out from its mouth continuously…..
In just the blink of an eye, the gold bars accumulated at Jun Wu Xie’s feet had already covered past her ankles.
Lei Chen’s eyes were fixed upon the scene before him, already stunned way beyond words.
[Great Lords!]
[Could that fat rat that be the legendary bottomless treasure trove? !]
The heavy clunks continued to fill the air as the Hell Rodent went on to pour gold bars out from its mouth. The entire floor of the great hall was soon completely filled with gold bars that slipped all over the place.
Seeing such an enormous amount of gold bars, was just too incredible to believe.
And the Hell Rodent did not seem to be slowing in the slightest.
It wasn’t till the gold bars filled every last corner of the enormous great hall and was about to spill out over the threshold at the door that Jun Wu Xie finally said: “Alright. Just throw up these for now.”
The Hell Rodent immediately clamped its mouth shut and tottered its way back onto Jun Wu Xie’s hand to hold the sad and miserable looking chestnut as its happily scuttled back onto Ye Jie’s shoulder.
Acting as if…..
All those countless number of gold bars on the floor, was not even the least bit more valuable than the tattered and badly chewed up little chestnut, that was all covered with holes and tiny bite marks.
“Take these first to deal with the immediate needs. If its not enough, just go to Ye Jie. She’ll have enough.” Jun Wu Xie said generously.
Lei Chen’s eyes were already almost blinded by the sea of brilliantly glittering gold right before him with his jaw still upon the floor, unable to recover himself.
This was the first time that he discovered, their His Majesty was actually….. so unimaginably rich!
[That fat rat there, really isn’t a bottomless treasure trove?]
Qu Ling Yue stifled a smile as she looked at Jun Wu Xie, her eyes filled with awe and reverence, like no matter what kind of earth shattering deed Jun Wu Xie did, it was as it should be in Qu Ling Yue’s eyes, because….. Jun Wu Xie in her heart, was just omnipotent.

Qiao Chu looked at Lei Chen looking completely flabbergasted and he felt completely well satisfied.
If Lei Chen only knew that what he was seeing before his eyes was merely the tip of the iceberg, he wondered what Lei Chen would then think?
Before they had left the Dark Emperor’s tomb, Ye Jie had gotten the Hell Rodent to swallow up all the treasures within the place into its belly and the Dark Emperor’s tomb now was just an empty shell as even the Dark Emperor’s coffin had been swallowed up by the Hell Rodent as well.
Whenever he thought of the fact that the people from the Middle Realm were still blindly searching for the famed legendary treasures, stumbling over each other in incessant waves and dying as martyrs, Qiao Chu would feel an evil sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Who would have thought that all of the riches the Dark Emperor once possessed would now be stuffed up within the belly of that tiny little innocent looking Hell Rodent?
With the riches the Dark Emperor had, there’s no need to even talk about rescuing the Fire Country’s treasury, even if they wanted to arm everyone within the entire Lower Realm from their toes up to every single strand of hair on their heads, it could easily be accomplished!
With the injection of that mountainous pile of gold bars from Jun Wu Xie, Lei Chen was finally able to heaved a sigh of relief and did not have to worry about money.
The Fire Country’s situation was still rather stable and Wen Yu then went on to report to Jun Wu Xie about the current situations of the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom.
The Qi Kingdom had Qi Kingdom’s military strength had been badly depleted by the war from before and fortunately they still had the Rui Lin Army holding the fort. Within one short year, the Qi Kingdom’s military strength had bloated up by ten times and their battle prowess had grown to be a match to that of the Fire Country. The Buckwheat Kingdom had an adequate strength in numbers but in terms of training, they were not as well practiced as the Lin Palace and hence Qu Ling Yue had sent Lei Xi to the Buckwheat Kingdom to prop them up. Lei Xi had silently endured himself for many years painstakingly seeking for an opportunity to exact revenge. He actually possessed rather great talent and had an exceptional understanding in military tactics and strategies. The Qi Kingdom had also temporarily sent Long Qi to help the Buckwheat Kingdom and with the addition of these two people, it had allowed the Buckwheat Kingdom’s army to be elevated up a few levels in battle prowess.
“The Poison Men’s numbers are just too numerous and seeking to completely eradicate them in a short span of time would pose to be rather difficult. The biggest headache we have facing us now is that we had not been able to pinpoint where the nest of the Poison Men really is. I am of the belief that behind these attacks from the Poison Men, there is definitely someone masterminding it all from behind the scenes. Those Poison Men were originally just common citizens and because they were inflicted with the poison, they lost their humanity and turned into puppets manipulated by someone’s unseen hands. If we are not able to sniff out the hidden mastermind behind all of this, even if we defeat the Poison Men armies every single time, as long as that person still remains, he would be able to constantly take advantage of the chaos and turmoil sweeping across the lands to create even more Poison Men.” Wen Yu said with a faint sigh. Towards the calamity that struck the Lower Realm this time, he already had his own guesses about it in his heart, but it was not convenient for him to share it with Qu Ling Yue and the others, while he was sure Jun Wu Xie knew exactly what he was driving at.
With the entire lands in chaos, every country was bitterly fighting to hold out. When the smoke beacons of war rose, people everywher
e were not able to live and escaping refugees were all over the place, those refugees would easily be targeted by some people.
“For this matter, I will deal with it.” Jun Wu Xie said as her eyes narrowed, completely understanding what Wen Yu was telling her.
Without eradicating the source, it will still be merely treating the symptoms and not the root.
“Dumb Qiao.” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
“Here!” Qiao Chu immediately stepped forward.
“You and Brother Hua stay here and guard the Fire Country while Little Yan and Little Ruo will make your way to the Qi Kingdom. Fan Zhuo you will bring Little Jue to the Buckwheat Kingdom and if any situation occurs, you can just strike. If you discover any news about the mastermind behind all this, investigate carefully into it.” Jun Wu Xie instructed firmly and decisively.
“Yes!” Qiao Chu and the other companions immediately acknowledged!
With their current powers, even if they were trapped deep within the Poison Men army, they would be able to escape safely.
“Wu Yao, you shall then come with me to look into the powers of this mastermind behind the Poison Men army.” Jun Wu Xie then said as the corners of her lips curled up into a chilling smile. Against one who dared to stir up such a storm here in the Lower Realm, he really couldn’t blame her for being harsh towards him.

To sniff out the mastermind hiding behind the scenes, one must first find his location. That person was very intelligent and till now he had never once shown his face before. Although the ruler of the various countries had their own guesses, they were however still unable to identify the person. For Jun Wu Xie to locate that person within the entire Lower Realm, it would be like finding a needle within a haystack.
