Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 1

I will not allow Bai Yun Xian to admit the authenticity of those Jade Dew pills!
Bai Yun Xian looked blankly at Mo Xuan Fei, before it dawned on her.
That’s right, it is up to her to say whether those Jade Dew pills are real or fake. If she proclaims them fake, they will be deemed fake, irregardless of authenticity.
Bai Yun Xian composed herself, putting up her usual cold front.
“Miss Jun, these are not Jade Dew pills of the Qing Yun Clan.”
“I see now what disciples of Qing Yun Clan are like.” said Jun Wu Xie as she threw a bitingly frosty glance at Bai Yun Xian who was struggling to maintain her forced facade of calm.
Bai Yun Xian felt chilled from those eyes.
“If they are not Jade Dew pills, what are they?” Jun Wu Xie asked, head tilted slightly, staring at Bai Yun Xian.
“They are just some spices, can’t even call them medicine.” said Bai Yun Xian stiffly.
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie questioned as her eyes flashed.
“Miss Jun, trying to pass off these inferior imitations as the real deal, I must say I have been rather slighted.” Bai Yun Xian Jun intoned seeing Jun Wu Xie’s silence, confident the situation is under her control.
Jun Wu Xie sat calmly stroking the little black cat. Bai Yun Xian was about to continue on her tirade when Jun Wu Xie murmured: “I sent a bottle to His Majesty.”
Bai Yun Xian stood with her mouth agape, twitching.
What did she say!
“By now, the Imperial Doctors who should have verified it’s authenticity, and sent it to His Majesty.” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes, watching the paled and stiffened face of Bai Yun Xian.
Bai Yun Xian’s stood lips trembling, reeling from the shock.
Mo Xuan Fei’s face darkened, he never would have imagined, Jun Wu Xie hid such a hand!

Chapter 93: “Second Slap (1)”
“By now, the Imperial Doctors should have verified it’s authenticity and sent it to His Majesty.” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes, watching the paled and stiffened face of Bai Yun Xian.
Bai Yun Xian’s stood lips trembling, body reeling from the shock.
Mo Xuan Fei’s face darkened, he never would have imagined, Jun Wu Xie hid such a hand!
Several bottles of Jade Dew pills have already been gifted to His Majesty when Bai Yun Xian first arrived in the Imperial City of Qi. Any medication taken by the Emperor, has to be ascertained by the Imperial Doctors to be safe, before it can reach him. The Imperial Doctors might not be able to replicate the myriad of medicines passing through their hands, but they can easily determine their properties.
Mo Xuan Fei had intended for Bai Yun Xian to declare the pills to be fake, rendering Jun Wu Xie unable to refute. After all, no one will believe a nobody like Jun Wu Xie, over the words of a disciple of the esteemed Qing Yun Clan.
No one could have thought, Jun Wu Xie had prepared her hand so well against the treachery, before the pill verification.
Being in the hands of the Emperor, the Jade Dew pills gifted by Bai Yun Xian must have passed through the Imperial Doctors, who have checked on their properties and content. Having them verify if these pills here are the same will be easy to ascertain.
Judging from Bai Yun Xian’s reaction, Mo Xuan Fei can guess that the Jade Dew pills Jun Wu Xie brought are genuine!
When did Jun Wu Xie become so intelligent?
Mo Qian Yuan watched this scene unfold from the sidelines, heaved a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile as the ends of his mouth curled up, watching Jun Wu Xie intently.
This seemingly young, quiet girl, is more capable than she seems!
Jun Wu Xie could have asked Bai Yun Xian to send the pills to the Imperial Doctors for verification, but she held back, luring Bai Yun Xian to declare the pills were fake, before she revealed she sent the bottle to the Emperor.
When Imperial Doctors can ascertain authenticity of Jade Dew pills, and Bai Yun Xian cannot, it can only mean she lacks the ability to ascertain, or she harbours ill will and deliberately made a false declaration!
What is said cannot be undone, this stroke of genius from Jun Wu Xie is equivalent to a slap on the face of Bai Yun Xian.
A resounding slap!
With a single move, Jun Wu Xie has Bai Yun Xian slapped senseless, and pinned down Mo Xuan Fei.
He looked upon Jun Wu Xie in disbelief, a stranger to him.
Is this not the fawning girl who followed behind yearning and craving attention? Or the boorish, rude and mindless idiot?
Why does the Jun Wu Xie here feels so unfamiliar, so distant?
He had thought, Jun Wu Xie’s cold and aloof manner to him was due to her being abandoned over Bai Yun Xian, and in an attempt to catch his attention, she imitated the cold mannerisms of Bai Yun Xian, thinking that he liked that about her. It is clear now, it was just all wishful thinking on his part.
The Jun Wu Xie of the past, does not even know medicine, let alone making Jade Dew pills. Hiding her hand, by secretly sending the pills to the Emperor, the Jun Wu Xie he knew should not have been capable of such!
Now, in this situation, it feels like slaps across the face of Mo Xuan Fei, knocking him off his pedestal of arrogance, and driving the despair of defeat deep into him.
No!
He will not allow that to happen!
“Jun Wu Xie, that was wilful of you, how can you send that to my Imperial Father, the Emperor? It might poison him! Yun Xian, come with me to pay a visit to my father, we cannot let anything happen to him.” Mo Xuan Fei was not being magnanimous as he pulled Bai Yun Xian by the hand and hurried out the door.
Volume 1
Chapter 94: “Second Slap (2)”
He could not allow Jun Wu Xie to triumph, as long as he got to Imperial Father first, have Imperial Father instruct the Royal Doctors to declare that the Jade Dew pills were fake, Jun Wu Xie shall suffer his wrath!
Dragged along by Mo Xuan Fei, Bai Yun Xian abandoned her usual contrived poise in her haste. It is clear if the Royal Doctors are to verify the Jade Dew pills as the real deal, she will suffer utter disgrace and humiliation.
Jun Wu Xie sat there watching Mo Xuan Fei’s dramatic antics, making no move to stop him.
With Jun Wu Xie’s inaction, Mo Qian Yuan jeered after the departing figures.
“Second Brother, why the hurry? If there are issue with the pills, the Royal Doctors will not allow medicine of dubious origins to reach our Imperial Father.” Mo Qian Yuan taunted with a smile at the flustered Mo Xuan Fei, in return for the oppression suffered at the hands of Mo Xuan Fei all this time, freeing the heavy knot in his chest.
Being helpless himself against Mo Xuan Fei, it was a grand sight to behold seeing Jun Wu Xie’s resounding ‘slap’ on Mo Xuan Fei. That felt really good!
Mo Xuan Fei was in no mood to bicker with Mo Qian Yuan, he just needed an excuse to leave quickly. Irregardless whether he can stop the Royal Doctors, as long as he leaves the Crown Prince Residence now, he could pretend that none of today’s events ever happened and salvage some dignity for Bai Yun Xian and him.
Alas, the Heavens seemed to be against Mo Xuan Fei. Before he could scamper out of the Crown Prince Residence, two palace eunuchs scurried forward, carrying a tray of jewels, wide smiles across their faces.
“Your Highness, Miss Bai, I was thinking I will find you here. The Jade Dew pills from Miss Bai have been received and His Majesty has gifted these jewels for Miss Bai’s pleasure.” The eunuch bearing the gifts was His Majesty’s personal senior eunuch, obsequiously smiling.
“What did you say?” Mo Xuan Fei could not believe his ears.
The eunuch was somewhat taken aback by Mo Xuan Fei grim expression, and stammered.
“Hi …… His Majesty, ordered your ….. lowly servant …… to send these gifts over……”
“You said Yun Xian sent the pills to Imperial Father?” Mo Xuan Fei stared, eyes wide in astonishment, Bai Yun Xian paled further, blood drained from her face.
Mo Qian Yuan looked on at the stupefied people by his doorway, his mouth curled up in scorn, and turned to see Jun Wu Xie, calmly head lowered, still sipping her tea.
Jun Wu Xie had known Mo Xuan Fei would develop cold feet, and weasel his way out. She secretly sent the pills to His Majesty and sent it under Bai Yun Xian’s name! The Emperor, to garner support from Qing Yun Clan, will gift in return, oblivious to the fact that will cut off his way out of this mess.
With the gifts here, it just showed that the pills sent by Jun Wu Xie have been verified by the Royal Doctors, and conveyed to the Emperor.
It is now clear, whether those Jade Dew Pills were genuine.
The eunuch’s uncanny timing with his arrival bearing the gifts, did not give Mo Xuan Fei any wiggling room.
“Jun Wu Xie, you dare deceive His Majesty! Those pills were clearly not from Yun Xian!” Mo Xuan Fei eyes full of malice, refusing to be toyed around by Jun Wu Xie, a woman he once abandoned, it was intolerable.
Jun Wu Xie slightly raised an eyebrow, “It belongs to her.”
“What nonsense!”
Jun Wu Xie said indifferently: “Replacement for the bottle my cat broke.”
She had assured, she will compensate Bai Yun Xian for the Jade Dew pills.
“The result is plain to see, Bai Yun Xian, your conclusion?” Jun Wu Xie fixed her frosty gaze upon the pale quivering frame of Bai Yun Xian.

Chapter 95: “Second Slap (3)”
Bai Yun Xian stood biting her lip, unwilling to admit the authenticity of the Jade Dew pills, but it was now hard to refute with what Jun Wu Xie has schemed.
But, how was this possible?
Jun Wu Xie was just the Missy of Lin Palace, there was no way she knows the recipe for Jade Dew pill. It was impossible she can process and produce those Jade Dew pills!
Moreover, she achieved it in half a day! It was already unimaginable she produced a bottle of Jade Dew pills in such a short span of time, she made TWO bottles at that!
“Your furnace room is old and falling apart, and that wasted a lot of my time refining the pills.” Jun Wu Xie grumbled at Mo Qian Yuan.
Due to the furnace room being run down due to disuse and neglect, and much of the equipments left not functionable, Jun Wu Xie would have produced five instead of two measly bottles.
Mo Qian Yuan stifled his laughter at the thought of Bai Yun Xian declaring that the production of Jade Dew pills needed three to five days, and Jun Wu Xie’s nasty rebuke by producing two bottles within half a day. To add insult to injury, she now claims my furnace room is dilapidated and equipment spoilt, causing her delays in production, telling Bai Yun Xian that she is capable of more in ideal conditions?
This unspoken reprimand and innocent grumbling, had delivered another two slaps upon the face of Bai Yun Xian.
Such exhilaration! You could almost hear them!
Mo Qian Yuan finally understood Jun Wu Xie’s contempt for Jade Dew pills.
Bai Yun Xian’s praise for her unparalleled jeweled Jade Dew pills, in the hands of Jun Wu Xie, had turned to mere worthless rocks, being thrown upon the face of Bai Yun Xian.
“Jun Wu Xie, how did you come to know the recipe for Qing Yun Clan’s medicine!” Bai Yun Xian was seething with anger, as she had never been so humiliated.
Jun Wu Xie replied nonchalantly : “You need a recipe for this? You can tell just by smelling them.”
“ ….. “ Bai Yun Xian almost foamed at the mouth with her dismissive tone.
Mo Xuan Fei, sensing that the situation steering out of control, held Bai Yun Xian’s by her shoulder.
“We were just kidding today, it is getting late, we should go.” Mo Xuan Fei said abruptly, thinking they have been humiliated enough and staying any longer wouldl only embarrass them further.
“No hurry, my dear brother. Miss Bai has not verified the pills’ authenticity.” Mo Qian Yuan was unwilling to let him off easy.
Bai Yun Xian glared at Jun Wu Xie, murder in her eyes.
Struggling to find the words, she faintly mumbled: “Those pills are ….. Jade Dew pills.”
Those words seemed to have drained her completely as she stumbled, her legs giving out..
“Yun Xian!” Mo Xuan Fei rushed to hold her up, and through gritted teeth : “We shall not impose on you anymore, Yun Xian seems unwell, we will catch up again another day.”
Without waiting for Mo Qian Yuan’s reply, Mo Yuan Fei hastened out, holding Yun Xian up.
The eunuch bearing the gifts, confused, hurriedly hastened behind the Second Prince, to present the jewels.
When everyone has left, Mo Qian Yuan could not suppress his mirth anymore and laughed out heartily.
“Jun Wu Xie, Jun Wu Xie, you greatly surprise me, the humiliation you put my brother and Bai Yun Xian through today, it was a sight to behold! You withheld the truth in the beginning, luring them to sink in deeper by allowing them to brag more, before you dropped the axe. That was simply wicked! Ha ha ha.”
Jun Wu Xie glanced at Mo Qian Yuan laughing heartily, and thought to herself.
Wicked? I don’t think so.
The humiliation they suffered today was their own doing. Evil begets evil.
“But, your actions today will earn the wrath of the two of them.” warned Mo Qian Yuan.
“It’s bound to happen.” Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes, hiding the lethal glance that flashed briefly in her eyes.

Chapter 96: “Rui Lin Army (1)”
With constant nourishment from Jade Nectar, the lotus seed Jun Wu Xie planted proceeded to bud and flower, the intermingling rich fragrances of the lotus and the wine enveloped Jun Wu Xie’s room at all times.
The fragrance infuses Jun Wu Xie with spiritual energy even while she sleeps.
Contractual spirits from plants may seem useless,however their cultivation techniques were simply ridiculous.
Within a mere two weeks, Jun Wu Xie was able to gather spiritual energy within her body.
Staring at the scarlet glow on her palm, Jun Wu Xie finally allowed a tinge of satisfaction to show in her eyes.
Spiritual energy in this world are classified into seven stages, in the colours of the rainbow.
Differentiated by red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Jun Wu Xie had only just been exposed to the spiritual energy, the red glow in her palm, shows a red spirit.
Spiritual energy can only be developed after the awakening of the contractual spirit, that will mean, people of this world, start their training in earnest only from the age of fourteen. Before that, they need to build up their bodies, and fortify their tendons, arteries and veins, in preparation for the awakening. Originally, before she took over this body, Jun Xian conditioned and cultivated Jun Wu Xie from a young tender age intensively in preparation for her spiritual awakening, and made it extremely receptive to spiritual cultivation now.
From age fourteen onwards, people have to rely on the contractual spirits to endlessly cultivate their spiritual energy, as their spiritual energy increases, the spirit absorbs more, allowing them to grow.
They are intertwined and interdependent.
When an average person starts cultivating their spiritual energy, the body is able to gather a minute amount of it and to have the energy manifest outwards would take anyone at least half a year’s time.
However, Jun Wu Xie only took half a month’s time to accomplish this, if anyone knew this, they would be frightened to death!
Jun Wu Xie suddenly retracted everything as the red glow vanished, the next moment, there was a knock on the door.
After she started cultivating, her five senses had been heightened.
“Come in.”
The door creaked open as Long Qi stood outside as he gave a respectful bow: “Second Master has invited Miss to see him.�
��
“Alright.”
Long Qi led the way as he brought her to the underground training grounds, it was an expansive land and it looked awe-inspiring as weapons filled the four majestic walls surrounding it.
At the centre was a lone figure, holding a sword relentlessly practising his sword moves, as the movements were swift and fierce, fluid and sharp, his robe was soaked with perspiration, however he did not seem to care as he continued on with a firm determination.
“Uncle.” Jun Wu Xie called out to him.
Once he heard her, Jun Qing immediately sheathed his sword into the scabbard on his back as he gave her clear and bright smile.
“You’re here, Wu Xie.”
Jun Wu Xie gave a quick analysis as she looked at him from head to toe. No one could have imagined that just not too long ago, the very same person was crippled that was just half a step into death’s door.
Ever since Jun Qing he discovered he could stand, he had been secretly training, pushing himself to his limits daily, in this hidden training grounds, in an attempt to make up for the time lost when he did not have use of his legs.
“I asked you here today seeing the weather has been nice lately, and thought it would be nice to have my lovely niece accompany me to enjoy this equally beautiful spring.” Jun Qing smiled warmly and handed the sword over to Long Qi.

Jun Wu Xian has no qualms going gallivanting with Jun Qing.
After changing into a fresh set of clean clothes, Jun Qing got back in his wheelchair, with Long Qi pushing him out of the Lin Palace gates, and onto the horse drawn carriage with Jun Wu Xie.
