Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 18

by North Night (夜北)

  Moments later, Jun Wu Yao’s breathing then reverted to normal. He pushed himself up as he looked at Jun Wu Xie lying there, the sunlight streaming through the window into the room, the faint light seemingly shrouding Jun Wu Xie’s body in a glowing glimmer.

  Jun Wu Yao drew in a deep breath, suddenly getting up, not daring to cast her another glance.

  Jun Wu Xie then slowly sat up in bed, and that was when she discovered the disheveled state her clothes were in, realizing that her torn robe did not cover her body fully. She then clasped the blanket in front of herself as she stared with her face reddened at Jun Wu Yao sitting at the edge of the bed.

  Jun Wu Yao then got up and took out a piece of clothing from the wardrobe at the side to hand over to Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie silently changed into it, her gaze fixed upon the figure of Jun Wu Yao, but she saw that he kept his back facing her throughout. He had even kept his head lowered when he handed her the clothes, not daring to meet her eyes.

  Without knowing why, the strange bashfulness Jun Wu Xie was feeling in her heart suddenly evaporated in an instant, and a smile immediately crept onto the corners of her lips.

  The knocking continued to disturb the two of them. After Jun Wu Xie changed her clothes, she then put her disguise back onto her face before walking over to the door and pulling it open.

  Outside the door, stood a person that Jun Wu Xie had least expected to see.

  “Long time no see.” Gu Ying said as he stood outside Jun Wu Xie’s door, that handsome face filled with an absolutely brilliant smile, but with a pair of slightly narrowed eyes filled with an intense bloodthirsty glint.

  Jun Wu Xie had not thought that Gu Ying would appear here but when facing anyone besides Jun Wu Yao, her mind was always adequately calm, her face not showing anything out of the ordinary, but to stare coldly at Gu Ying as she asked: “Is anything the matter?”

  Gu Ying smiled slightly, the narrowed eyes sweeping over Jun Wu Xie’s face, seemingly trying to carefully study every minute detail of her face.

  “Jun Wu? Or maybe, should I call you Jun Xie?”

  Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed slightly.

  Gu Ying gave a light laugh and said: “It’s still the same as before you see, your eyes are still as beautiful as ever, and your mannerisms are exactly the same as you were in the past. But there is one thing I am very curious about. If I am to reveal your identity to others, do you think that you will still be able to walk out of this Pure Grace Palace alive? Hmm? Ally of the Spirit Jade Palace?” The tone of Gu Ying’s voice raised up slightly, tinged with a trace of laziness and mockery.

  In the instant that Gu Ying mentioned the words “Spirit Jade Palace”, Jun Wu Xie came to understand everything.

  She really had not thought that Zi Jin’s naivety would sink to such an extent, that she would expose the identities of the entire group to Gu Ying.

  Jun Wu Xie’s heart rose in a sneer, but her face remained cold and icy.

  “What are you talking about? I do not understand.”

  Gu Ying laughed and then said: “You don’t understand? It’s alright. We have lots of time to let you understand it properly.”

  Chapter 1753: “The Show Begins (1)”

  Gu Ying laughed and then said: “You don’t understand? It’s alright. We have lots of time to let you understand it properly.”

  Jun Wu Xie stared at Gu Ying coldly.

  “Aren’t you going to ask me to go in to have a seat? Or would you prefer…. that I announce your real identity right here?” Gu Ying asked, lifting his eyebrow up slightly, his eyes looking highly malicious.

  Jun Wu Xie’s gaze then slowly turned, to look into another direction down the corridor, and then turning her eyes back to look at Gu Ying to say: “I think, you will not have that chance at all.”

  Gu Ying was rather puzzled and he was just about to say something when a flurry of hurried steps suddenly sounded out. Accompanying the rumble of footsteps, was a loud shout, that suddenly rang out in the quiet corridor!

  “Gu Ying is over there!”

  Suddenly hearing his name being called out, Gu Ying’s brows immediately furrowed and turned his head over in that direction.

  He saw several youths wearing the uniform of the Dragon Slayers Palace rushing towards him in a hurry with an Elder of the Pure Grace Palace. The expressions on the faces of the youths were not looking pretty in the slightest and the eyes that stared at Gu Ying were all filled with hatred.

  Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes and then said in a voice that could only be heard by Gu Ying and her: “Now, who would you say is in bigger trouble?”

  An ominous feeling then rose up within Gu Ying’s heart as the group of people charged to come right beside him.

  “Gu Ying! You’ve sure got one hell of a gall!” A youth from the Dragon Slayers Palace immediately pointed his finger at Gu Ying to berate him loudly.

  Gu Ying took a deep breath, and then turned to face the unfriendly newcomers.

  “When my gall is good or not, doesn’t need you bunch of trash here to comment upon.” Gu Ying replied with a sneer.

  The youth from the Dragon Slayers Palace trembled with rage. He quickly turned to look at the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder and complained: “Elder! Gu Ying till now is still being so arrogant! This happened within the premises of your Pure Grace Palace, so how this matter should be dealt with, with depend on what you and your people do!”

  The face of the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder had turned an ugly colour and his gaze was fixed upon Gu Ying. Feeling highly conflicted inside, he sighed lightly and then said: “Young Master Gu, something happened in the Pure Grace Palace yesterday and the disciples of the Dragon Slayers Palace say that you are involved in the matter. Can I ask for you to kindly come with me, to explain the matter clearly.”

  Gu Ying’s eyebrow arched up. “Oh? What happened?”

  “It’s a matter of life and death.” The Pure Grace Palace’s Elder said.

  The unease in Gu Ying’s heart grew more and more intense. He was already surrounded by the furious group of Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples and he could see that the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder’s demeanor was a little strained.

  Gu Ying then laughed suddenly.

  “Alright, then I make a trip to come with you.”

  At that moment, Gu Ying could no longer be bothered to find trouble with Jun Wu Xie. Surrounded by the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder and the group of disciples from the Dragon Slayers Palace, he began to walk away from Jun Wu Xie’s door.

  Watching the back of Gu Ying as he departed, Jun Wu Xie’s eyes flashed with mirth before she released the grip of her hand that was holding the door tightly, to turn her head and look at Jun Wu Yao who was absolutely spilling over with murderous rage.

  “Why would you need to even get so angry?” Jun Wu Xie said with an indiscernible smile as she looked at Jun Wu Yao’s gaze that had subtly changed. From the first moment that Gu Ying had just finished his first sentence, murder had already risen in Jun Wu Yao. If not for the fact that she blocked the door to stop him from getting out, Gu Ying would already be dead right in front of that door.

  Jun Wu Yao then scooped his arm around Jun Wu Xie’s slender waist to pull her into his embrace.

  “No anger, just felt like killing people that’s all.”

  Having his “great action” being interrupted and he even went on to threaten Jun Wu Xie in such a manner. If it was not for the fact that he might unconsciously hurt Jun Wu Xie, Jun Wu Yao would have struck him down.

  Jun Wu Xie then said: “To kill him, we won’t need you to even lift a finger. Want to watch a good show?” She then lifted a hand to tickle Jun Wu Yao’s chin playfully and Jun Wu Yao lowered his head to bite her on the finger.

  “Since it was all set up by you, I will naturally have to watch it.”

  Gu Ying was brought to the main palace hall of the Pure Grace Palace. Si
tting within the palace hall, besides several of the Elders from the Pure Grace Palace, were disciples of the Dragon Slayers Palace, and people from the Blood Fiend Palace were rushing in as well. Many of the disciples from other palaces who had gotten wind of the situation were also hurrying over, to crowd around the place at the sides.

  Inside the main palace hall, Gu Xin Yan stood among a group of disciples from the Blood Fiend Palace, her brows creased up slightly. She did not know what had happened but came here after receiving news from the Pure Grace Palace that all of them were to come to the palace hall.

  And now, when she saw Gu Ying being personally escorted in by an Elder of the Pure Grace Palace, a ill feeling of an ominous premonition involuntarily rose up in her heart.

  Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao were quietly hidden at the back of the crowd to watch the great show unfold.

  Gu Ying stood straight backed within the palace hall. He looked at the several Elders seated in the hall without showing any deference as he opened his mouth to say: “For what reason do we need to have such a large number of people gather? If you have anything to ask, just shoot.”

  One of the Elders from the Pure Grace Palace creased up his brows to stare at the bright and handsome looking youth before his eyes. If he could, he wouldn’t want to be tainted with troubled waters such as this. However….. looking at the sides of the palace hall, lined with furious disciples from the Dragon Slayers Palace, he could only sigh inwardly in his heart.

  “Gu Ying, yesterday afternoon, where were you?” The Elder opened his mouth to ask.

  Gu Ying replied: “I was naturally in my room.”

  “Then did you step out from there?” The Elder then continued to ask.

  Hearing that, Gu Ying already detected that something did not seem right but he was not able to identify what the problem was exactly at that point, and so he could only say: “I went out to look for my sister.”

  “And where else did you go?” The Elder persisted on.

  Gu Ying then answered: “I went to look for Zhuge Yin, but he was not there.”

  Gu Ying had just finished saying that when the Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples exploded in an uproar!

  “What utter nonsense! Our Young Lord did not even take a single step out from his room yesterday! When you came to find him, how could he possibly not be there? Come on! You committed such a dastardly deed and you’re still trying to deny it! Do you really think that our Dragon Slayers Palace are such pushovers! ?” The disciples of the Dragon Slayers Palaces were glaring at Gu Ying through tightly gritted teeth. If not for the people from the Pure Grace Palace holding them back, they might all have jumped upon Gu Ying to rip him to shreds.

  [Zhuge Yin had been in his room all that time?]

  Gu Ying’s brows furrowed together into a frown. When he had gone to find Zhuge Yin yesterday, he had not detected any sign of Zhuge Yin at all. The room had been completely empty and he had not sensed the presence of anyone in there.

  [Why were the disciples of the Dragon Slayers Palace saying that Zhuge Yin had never left from his room?]

  “I beg for our guests from the Dragon Slayers Palace to please remain calm. In this matter, we will definitely get to the bottom of it.” The Pure Grace Palace’s Elder quickly said.

  On one hand, it was the Blood Fiend Palace, and on the other, the Dragon Slayers Palace. Both were entities the Pure Grace Palace could not afford to antagonize, nor would they dare to offend.

  Waiting till the commotion over on the Dragon Slayers Palace’s side had calmed down a little, the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder then continued to say: “Gu Ying, you’ve heard the words of the Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples. Their Young Lord, who is Zhuge Yin, had not stepped out from his room at all yesterday. And for the whole of yesterday, the only person who went there to look for him was only you alone. Moreover, after you went there, Zhuge Yin fell into misfortune. How are you going to explain yourself in this matter?”

  “Misfortune? What happened to him?” The strong unease that hovered in Gu Ying’s heart became more and more clear as he seemed to feel that he might have forgotten something.

  “He’s dead.” The Pure Grace Palace’s Elder said.

  Gu Ying’s eyes widened slightly.

  Zhuge Yin was dead, and he died in his own room. It was discovered by a Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciple that morning when he went to ask Zhuge Yin to go for breakfast.

  Volume 18

  Chapter 1755: “The Show Begins (3)”

  The first person who had stepped into Zhuge Yin’s room that day had been almost shocked right out of his wits!

  The entire room had been filled with the overwhelming stench of blood and everyone had not been able to find a trace of Zhuge Yin but only saw a person’s corpse that had been turned into a bloody gory heap in the room, and the accessories on that corpse had matched what Zhuge Yin wore exactly. The Pure Grace Palace’s healers had gone to check and from the skeletal remains left behind, the age and height of the victim ascertained had also completely matched Zhuge Yin.

  A set of badly wrecked and ravaged human remains appearing in Zhuge Yin’s room, and regardless of whether it was the accessories or the dead body’s characteristics, they matched Zhuge Yin perfectly. Moreover, Zhuge Yin had disappeared from everyone’s sight and hence, without needing to even think about it, everyone knew that pile of rotting flesh must definitely be Zhuge Yin without a doubt!

  Such an unbelievable scene so filled with blood and gore, immediately drove the youths from the Dragon Slayers Palace out of their minds.

  Zhuge Yin was the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord’s one and only son!

  And he carried on his shoulders, the hope of the Dragon Slayers Palace but was now mindlessly murdered in the Pure Grace Palace, with even his body so unbearably mutilated. Seeing such a scene with their own eyes, how could the youths from the Dragon Slayers Palace be able to still remain calm?

  “I had not met Zhuge Yin at all yesterday.” Immediately upon hearing about Zhuge Yin’s death, the cloud of suspicion in Gu Ying’s heart instantly cleared up when it was struck by a bolt of lightning! The missing piece that he had forgotten, finally rose to the surface.

  Zi Jin had told him about Jun Wu Xie’s plan before this but he had seen a gaping loophole in it and not believed it. But coincidentally, Gu Xin Yan had been invited to go out to meet Zhuge Yin which left him no choice but to have to go check on Zhuge Yin. In the end…..

  Zhuge Yin had suddenly so mysteriously died?

  “Utter rubbish! You had obviously gone into the Young Lord’s room yesterday! We all saw it!” Several of the Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples who had seen Gu Ying going into Zhuge Yin’s room immediately jumped out.

  Gu Ying suppressed the rage in his heart as he said calmly: “I did go to his room, but I did not find him inside.”

  “Gu Ying! You are lying with your eyes wide open! Our Young Lord had not once left his room yesterday and all of this was witnessed by everyone of us here! You were the only outsider that went in there yesterday and our Young Lord was dead after you left! If you did not do it, then who else could it be! ? May I ask, who would ravage a dead body to such an extent? Besides one as maniacally cruel as you! Who else could it be! ?”

  Zhuge Yin’s body was left in a pitiful state, where even the healers who had gone there to inspect the body had almost vomited on the spot.

  If it was asked among all the guests who came to the Pure Grace Palace for the birthday celebration, who inflicted the most gory and bloody strikes upon his opponents, it would undoubtedly be Gu Ying! Gu Ying’s highly bloody methods, was known far and wide throughout the Twelve Palaces!

  “That’s incorrect!” Suddenly, a voice rang out out of the blue. Gu Xin Yan who had been standing on one side suddenly came walking to stand before everyone, beside Gu Ying. She looked at the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder and then said: “The Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples said that Zhuge Yin had not stepped out from his room at all yesterday, but I had
a long leisurely stroll with Zhuge Yin yesterday. If what the disciples of Dragon Slayers Palace say is true, then who was it that I saw?”

  Hearing what had been said about the entire incident, it really caused Gu Xin Yan to break into a bout of cold sweat. But based on the time that the Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples had mentioned, that was the same time that she had just parted with Zhuge Yin. Calculating based on that timing, Gu Ying would naturally not be able to see Zhuge Yin in his room, so how could he even kill him at all? Moreover, she had seen Zhuge Yin with her own eyes, so the fact that the Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples were claiming that Zhuge Yin had not once left his room would naturally be a lie!

  Chapter 1756: “The Show Begins (4)”

  “Gu Xin Yan! You are Gu Ying’s younger sister, do you think anyone will believe your words?” The youths from the Dragon Slayers Palace immediately accused Gu Xin Yan of merely trying to get Gu Ying off the hook.

  Gu Xin Yan then said without the slightest change in her expression: “Whether I am to be believed, is not to be decided by just you and me. When I met with Zhuge Yin yesterday, quite a number of people saw it. They can be witnesses to what I’ve said.”

  The youth from the Dragon Slayers Palace obviously did not believe Gu Xin Yan’s explanation but the Pure Grace Palace’s Elder went around to ask, and managed to get affirmations from quite a number of people who had indeed seen Gu Xin Yan and Zhuge Yin strolling in the garden.

  With that, things had suddenly become rather strange.

  The Dragon Slayers Palace’s disciples were insistent that Zhuge Yin had never left his room the whole of yesterday and so it was impossible for him to have gone to meet Gu Xin Yan. And on the other hand, Gu Xin Yan had pulled out a group of witnesses who saw her meet up with Zhuge Yin with their own eyes, which washed off all suspicion from Gu Ying.
