Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 3
Page 2
The guards outside the palace saw a shadow suddenly land from the skies and they almost dropped their weapons in shock. They stared at the intruder and before they called out, they saw that the shadow carried someone in his arms and recognized her to be the Young Miss of the Lin Palace, Jun Wu Xie!?
It was widely known throughout the whole Imperial City, that Jun Wu Xie and Mo Qian Yuan were ‘madly in love’, and were all waiting for Mo Qian Yuan to issue an edict, to invite Jun Wu Xie to inhabit the East Palace, that was reserved for the Empress.
They realised that the future Empress had come to visit the Emperor’s sleeping chambers in the dead of the night, and the shocked guards clamped their mouths shut immediately. Their eyes then wandered to the man standing, carrying their future Empress.
Just one look at him, and their legs turned to jelly, almost stumbling where they stood.
The man’s exuded a terrifying and imposing aura, and his eyes made them tremble in fear.
“Is His Majesty inside?” Jun Wu Xie asked as she jumped off from Jun Wu Yao’s arms, not noticing the eyes filled with regret behind her as she turned to face the guards.
“Yes.” The guards replied firmly.
Jun Wu Xie just walked towards the chambers with asking to be announced.
Jun Wu Yao followed behind her and the guards wanted to step up and question his intentions when they found they lacked the courage to take a single step nearer to the man. They only managed to gulp as he stepped past them and stood silently by the doors.
(Your Majesty, we were not slacking in our duty, it was just that the man the Empress brought was too overwhelmingly scary!!)
Jun Wu Xie pushed hard on the doors and sauntered right into the chambers and Mo Qian Yuan froze while he was undressing for bed.
Mo Qian Yuan turned and a corner of his mouth twitched when he saw Jun Wu Yao standing at the entrance to his chambers with a sour look on his face. Mo Qian Yuan’s arm was still hooked on his belt burly, and the clothes that hung off his shoulders showed off a sculpted muscular chest.
Although Mo Qian Yuan had been sustained persecution for a long time, under Jun Wu Xie’s careful nursing and his own persistent hard work, his body did not look too bad too.
“Soul…. Mmmph.” Jun Wu Xie had not seen the awkwardness of the situation wanted to step up closer to discuss about the Soul Jade when a warm palm covered her eyes.
Mo Qian Yuan looked quizzically at the man behind Jun Wu Xie, and saw the arrogantly good looks and his imposing manner, and they had not met before.
What startled Mo Qian Yuan more were his seemingly bottomless black eyes.
“Indecent sight” Jun Wu Yao said softly to Jun Wu Xie, but his eyes jet black eyes were like two swords and they pricked Mo Qian Yuan all over. Those eyes looked like they wanted to rip him apart. His ‘killer’ eyes and his gentle tone of voice highlighted the great contrast between his actions and feelings.
Mo Qian Yuan wasn’t that dumb and caught the meaning behind those eyes, and he hastened to dress, putting on the clothes he had just removed, and the prickly feeling eased off after he dressed.
Only then, was Jun Wu Yao willing to release his hand that covered Jun Wu Xie’s eyes.
After regaining her sight, Jun Wu Xie was still clueless about what happened. She looked at Jun Wu Yao and when she did not get much of a reaction from him, she brushed it off in pursuit of more important matters, and walked quickly further into the Emperor’s sleeping chambers, eager to discuss about the Soul Jade.

Chapter 204: “Might (1)”
“And this is?” Mo Qian Yuan shrank back a little from Jun Wu Yao who was standing behind Jun Wu Xie. He sensed overwhelming danger from the man.
“Jun Wu Yao, my….. big brother.” It was Jun Wu Xie’s first time to introduce Jun Wu Yao to someone.
Big brother? Mo Qian Yuan was filled with suspicion. He did not remember that the Jun Family had such a person, but he saw a brief flash of joy in the dangerous man’s eyes when Jun Wu Xie uttered the word ‘brother’.
That night, when Jun Wu Yao had rescued Jun Xian and brought him to the Imperial Palace gates, all eyes had been focused on Jun Xian, and no one had really noticed Jun Wu Yao then.
“What is so important that you came to find me so late in the night?” Mo Qian Yuan stepped away from Jun Wu Xie subconsciously, in order to distance himself from the dangerous Jun Wu Yao.
Jun Wu Xie replied simply: “The Soul Jade.”
“Soul Jade? Did you really…..”
Jun Wu Xie knew what he was going to say and shook her head resolutely.
“I will not hand the Soul Jade over to the Qing Yun Clan, and I want the other half of the Soul Jade that is with you.”
“What!?” Mo Qian Yuan exclaimed in wide eyed shock, looking at Jun Wu Xie in disbelief.
She wants to keep the Jun Family’s Soul Jade and….. she wants the Imperial Family’s half as well?
Has she gone mad?
“Wu Xie, what do you want the Soul Jade for? It’s just a symbolic ordinary piece of jade, and if you want, I can have people acquire better quality jade for you! To go against the Qing Yun Clan for a measly piece of jade isn’t the best decision you can make.” Mo Qian Yuan had always trusted in Jun Wu Xie’s decisions, but this time, it made him want to pull all his hair out in frustration.
Jun Wu Xie must have realised the consequences, right?
“Are you giving it or not?” Jun Wu Xie asked simply, her eyes narrowed. The Soul Jade being the Soul Calming Jade, Jun Wu Xie did not have the intention to explain it to Mo Qian Yuan as she could not afford to be careless with this matter that concerned Jun Gu.
This was the first time Jun Wu Xie had directed her icy stare at Mo Qian Yuan and he had a taste of the chill that that same stare had brought to Mo Xuan Fei and his gang.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. “If you want it, I will give it to you, but….. what about the Qing Yun Clan? You have seen it yourself. They are determined to get the Soul Jade and will stop at nothing to get it.”
“Give it to me and I will handle them.” Jun Wu Xie had no intention to shake hands and make peace with the Qing Yun Clan.
When she had made Bai Yun Xian take the poison, she knew then that she and the Qing Yun Clan could not coexist together.
Mo Qian Yuan’s heart sank into his shoes at Jun Wu Xie’s words. “You would go against the Qing Yun Clan!? ….. No! Wu Xie! You have seen Jiang Chen Qing’s powers! Even with the Rui Lin Army, we cannot stand up to the might of the twenty odd exponents in their delega…..”
Mo Qian Yuan could not finish his statement, the room was suddenly pervaded with an overpowering pressure. In the next moment, a mountainous force crushed upon his shoulders. That moment alone, made his whole body shake uncontrollably, making him lose all strength in his legs and he fell to the floor with a loud thud. His sweat flowed unabated, forming a pool around him upon the floor.
“Do as she says.” The voice was filled with power that rang within his ears. The voice had not been loud, but it had made his ears prick with stinging pain and blood trickled down a corner of his mouth, dripping onto his knees.

Chapter 205: “Gamble (1)”
His voice alone had inflicted such heavy injuries upon his body, that overwhelming force had almost scared the lights out of him.
Green spirit? Blue spirit? Or was it the legendary violet spirit…..
Mo Qian Yuan had absolutely no idea which level Jun Wu Yao’s skills had reached. He was that powerful without even releasing his spiritual powers!
Such a terrifying power existed under the heavens?
“Enough.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice rang out just in time. She did not know if it was Jun Wu Yao’s doing, but the for
ce that struck at Mo Qian Yuan did not affect Jun Wu Xie in the slightest and she could not know how terrifying it was. She could only guess at its impact by looking at the slumped form of Mo Qian Yuan.
At the same moment Jun Wu Xie finished her statement, the force upon his body lifted and disappeared. He summoned every ounce of his remaining strength and he struggled hard to stand, and fear lingered in his heart as he looked at Jun Wu Yao.
Who would have thought that such a man who possessed such heaven defying strength to be concealed by Jun Wu Xie’s side? With him, Jun Wu Xie did not have to fear the Qing Yun Clan.
With such power, the twenty odd in the delegation would be a pushover. Even if the Qing Yun Clan Sovereign had come himself, he might be subjected to the same humiliation of defeat.
“Soul Jade.” Jun Wu Yao asked of Mo Qian Yuan.
Mo Qian Yuan wiped off the blood from his mouth and stole a glance at Jun Wu Yao. Without hesitation or any protests this time, he ordered for the Soul Jade to be brought.
“Wu Xie.” After the task had been assigned, he asked Jun Wu Xie in trepidation: “You said you would deal with the Qing Yun Clan, are you intending to ask your….. big brother to do it? To have them…..” Mo Qian Yuan made a sweeping motion across his neck with his hands.
“Yes.” Jun Wu Xie replied truthfully.
Mo Qian Yuan recoiled in shock.
Just like that?
Wasn’t that too brutal?
“The Qing Yun Clan might not have been too cordial, but they had not committed any outrageous atrocities either, and you have decided to ….. A tad bit overboard, isn’t it?” Mo Qian Yuan knew that although the Qing Yun Clan would not give up on the Soul Jade, Jun Wu Xie’s somewhat seemingly hasty decision was a little bit hard to swallow.
Moreover, the delegation was not the whole of the Qing Yun Clan. If anything were to happen to them, the Qing Yun Clan would move in retaliation for sure.
Can a single Jun Wu Yao, stand against the vengeance of Qing Yun Clan’s might and of their borrowed swords?
If possible, Mo Qian Yuan would prefer to keep the peace and settle things amicably.
Jun Wu Xie did not reply but just looked at the conflicted Mo Qian Yuan. She understood his concerns. He was now the Emperor of Qi and everything that he did, he had to consider the interests of the kingdom at large. But, being too compassionate and lenient, might not make a good ruler.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and asked slowly: “You think I’m being too brutal?”
With Jun Wu Xie’s query, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand as the chilling gaze locked onto him once again.
“No, I was just think we should not kill unjustifiably.”
Jun Wu Xie surveyed Mo Qian Yuan. She chose Mo Qian Yuan to ascend the throne because he was simple and kind, unlike his cruel and unscrupulous father and brother. He was groomed to become the shield for the Jun Family, and this shield was showing itself to be strong and sturdy, and was rather blunt.
It could only defend but not attack.
She kept silent for awhile before she said: “You’re being a softy.”
Mo Qian Yuan’s face darkened. It was not that he was being too soft, it was Jun Wu Xie being to brutal.
“Let’s make a bet.” Jun Wu Xie turned to Mo Qian Yuan. It was time to sharpen the shield a little.
“What kind of bet?”
“Whether Qing Yun Clan will seek their own death.” Jun Wu Xie said, her eyes narrowed just slightly.

Volume 3
Chapter 206: “Wager (2)”
“What do you mean?” Mo Qian Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
“I am keeping the Soul Jade at all costs, and will not release it to anyone. Aren’t you thinking that I want to kill them all off for no good reason and am being vicious and brutal? Then let’s see what the Qing Yun Clan will do when we refuse to hand over the Soul Jade when they know it is in our hands?” Jun Wu Xie had wanted to have an upper hand in dealing the first strike but had now changed her mind.
Not for any other reason, other than forging the dull shield that was Mo Qian Yuan, into a sharper shield.
His lukewarm temperament, needs a little stoking.
The Jun Family will in the future face other enemies and problems, and Jun Wu Xie did not want to be faced with having to deal with Mo Qian Yuan’s benevolent heart all the time. To prevent future recurring nightmares, she chose to put Mo QIan Yuan through the mill.
Once he saw the cruelty and viciousness of the enemy, he would understand, a benevolent heart will only kill him.
“Tell the Qing Yun Clan tomorrow that the Jun Family’s half of the Soul Jade had been buried with our elders in the family and hope that they can give up on their quest.” As to what their reaction would be, would be beyond her control.
Mo Qian Yuan’s eyes showed a mixture of emotions. He had not expected Jun Wu Xie to give in to the Qing Yun Clan in the first place, and he somehow felt, that her intentions were not as simple as what he was told.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Mo Qian Yuan sighed.
Jiang Chen Qing was not an easy person to deal with, but Qin Yu Yan looked like a very understanding person.
While they talked, the guards brought the Soul Jade and presented it to Mo Qian Yuan who handed it over to Jun Wu Xie.
The other half of the Soul Calming Jade laid within a brocade box, and after Jun Wu Xie inspected it, she closed the cover and kept it securely.
Mo Qian Yuan had seen the Soul Jade before, and had not thought of it as anything important. He would not have expected that a tiny piece of the Soul Jade would make Jun Wu Xie stand against the Qing Yun Clan. He did not want to probe further as he trusted that no matter what Jun Wu Xie did, she had her own good reasons for it.
With what she came for in her hands, and the wager set, Jun Wu Xie had not much more to say. She turned to leave the chambers and Jun Wu Yao followed, where they subsequently disappeared.
Outside Mo Qian Yuan’s living chambers, Jun Wu Xie looked into the starry sky, and turned to Jun Wu Yao who had followed behind her. Jun Wu Yao smiled and smoothly wrapped his arm around Jun Wu Xie. With a leap, they soared into the sky once again.
The guards outside the chambers, stared dumbfounded at the soaring figures flying through the sky and gaped in wonder.
Under the starry night, the cold wind rushed past them, the cold did not affect Jun Wu Yao in the slightest. The woman in his arms was always cold and unfeeling, but in his arms and pressed against his chest, was a warmth that spread throughout his entire being.
“Why was your time spent making a wager with that dummy?”
If you feel it’s not worth keeping, just discard it.
“A sword needs to be honed before it becomes sharp, I am just putting it under the mill.” It might be the change in the way Jun Wu Xie saw Jun Wu Yao that made her share so much with him.
‘Sharp sword?’ Jun Wu Yao raised an eyebrow, not commenting further.
“Mo Qian Yuan is intelligent, things that the former Emperor had not taught him, I can teach him. The Kingdom of Qi needed an Emperor, I needed a legitimate heir to the throne who would owe the Jun Family a great debt of gratitude.” The path to being a great Emperor had no room for pure and complete benevolence. Mo Qian Yuan had been abandoned and despised by the former Emperor and had not had the chance to learn much. Jun Wu Xie did not mind, to coach and instruct him to become a competent Emperor.
“My little darling is especially nice to him.” Jun Wu Yao said with a laugh, but his eyes did not show the slightest bit of joy.
Volume 3
Chapter 207: “Wager (3)”
Nice? Jun Wu Xie thought to herself. She did not feel she had treated Mo Qian Yuan nice in any way.
They were just using ea
ch other to further their own ends.
“I dared to do this because you are here.” Jun Wu Xie raised her head to look at Jun Wu Yao. If Jun Wu Xie did not have the extraordinarily skilled Jun Wu Yao behind her, she would not have let go of the opportunity to land the first strike. But, faced with Jun Wu Yao, there was nothing the Qing Yun Clan could do to overcome him, she might as well make full use of the opportunity.
To make the fullest use of everything, was her way of doing things.
Jun Wu Yao was surprised, and glee filled his eyes.
What Jun Wu Xie had said, had greatly pleased the malicious killer who slaughtered without thought.
“Whatever you want, I’ll get it done.” Jun Wu Yao said laughing. It was for just a couple more days, he would allow those insignificant worms to live a little longer.
Jun Wu Xie blinked her eyes as she thought: ‘Sometimes, Jun Wu Yao spoils her more than Jun Xian does.’
This big brother of hers, wasn’t bad at all.
“Open your mouth.” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
Jun Wu Yao opened his mouth wide without hesitation, and the next moment, a slightly sweet elixir was dropped into his mouth and it went down his throat. A sweet fragrance lingered in his mouth and a warmth spread throughout his body. His veins and arteries absorbed the nourishment from the warmth and he felt lighter and comforted.
Jun Wu Yao’s smile widened and he did not know what Jun Wu Xie fed him.
These elixirs were made by Jun Wu Xie’s own hands and only the Jun Family father and son had had the luxury to have tasted them. And Jun Wu Xie had fed one to him today…..
This night, was the most wonderful night to him, since he was freed from those chains.
When they got back to the Lin Palace, the night was already deathly quiet. Jun Wu Yao carried Jun Wu Xie and his foot had just touched the ground in Jun Wu Xie’s courtyard when she smelled the thick intoxicating aroma of wine.
