Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 2

“Kill them.”
“As you wish.” Jun Wu Yao’s smiled and his slender figure turned into a shadow, and shot towards the front yard.
[Master, your uncle!] The little black cat exclaimed.
With a flourish, Jun Wu Xie threw the little black cat. Its body elongated and bulked up and a majestic black beast landed in the back yard. Jun Wu Xie hopped onto the beast, eyes ablaze with fury.
“Go!”
The ferocious black beast, in full stride, sped towards Jun Qing.
Clamour and din tore through the night in the Lin Palace, as the stench of death hung heavily over the palace.
Jun Qing sat in his wheelchair, eyes narrowed, staring down the group of men in black who broke in. A sword in hand, droplets of scarlet were dripping down the tip of his sword onto his wheelchair, as blood from the five dark clothed figures who laid dead, around the wheelchair. More shadows closed in on him.
“I see Your Highness is still as skilled as before, but in your current state, are you able to win against these odds?” The dark clothed man sneered, looking at Jun Qing in his wheelchair.
They know very well the formidable skills and prowess the Jun Family possessed, if Jun Qing was still at his peak, he might be able to defeat them all, but the once formidable Jun Qing had been reduced to a cripple, with great sword skills, albeit without the freedom to move his legs.
Jun Qing eyed the men in black that surrounded him, expression cold as steel, eyes narrowed as his eyes flashed a glint of murderous intent.
These men in black, having chose this most opportune time to come here, obviously had plotted this for some time. With the majority of the guards out of the city, the few remaining guards, must be having a hard time with the enemy.
“A small fry, showing such impertinence in Lin Palace, you overestimate yourself.” Jun Qing intoned coldly.
He was not afraid he was surrounded. He was more worried for Jun Xian and Jun Wu Xie!
Jun Xian was impelled to leave the city, and these men in black immediately stormed the Lin Palace. This whole ruse was targeted at the Lin Palace all this time! He was worried if Jun Xian was all right, and if his niece Jun Wu Xie was safe.
Jun Wu Xie did not have any contractual spirit and was not able to develop her spiritual energy. She would not stand a chance against them if the men in black found her.
“Your Highness is sounding rather high and mighty, there are but a few guards here tonight, and there is no point dragging the inevitable. The remaining guards are held up in battle in the front yard, and I’m afraid the Missy of your household might have already lost her head. Tonight will be the downfall of Lin Palace, surrender yourself and I’ll give you a painless death.” The dark clothed man gloated.
A sudden bright gleam flashed, and the dark clothed man’s eyes widened in horror before he collapsed.
Though surrounded by the men in black, Jun Qing was unyielding, his blue cloack fluttered in the breeze, his attractive features took on a menacing shift, as he gripped his sword, and fixed his gaze on the enemy.

Chapter 109: “A Storm is Brewing (5)”
“Intruders of Lin Palace, shall DIE!” The decade of repression withheld within Jun Qing burst forth at that moment into a mesmerising dance with his blade, a weaving trail of moonlight reflecting off the sword like liquid silver, weaving through the shadowed figures in a flash!
Standing as though rooted to the ground, the shadows had no time to react!
They stood in blank astonishment, looking at Jun Qing.
Did the cripple who was sitting in the wheelchair, just kill a score of his enemies in a flash? That swift and unerringly precise swordplay chilled them to their bones.
Jun Qing was not crippled! He was faster than ever!
They could only watch on in dismay, as their comrades were killed one by one, as chilling fear crept into their hearts.
“White Owl!” Jun Qing summoned under his breath, and blinding brilliance burst forth from the ring on his finger. A large white owl manifested within the light, and with a screech, swooped into the enemies!
The Bone Corroding White Owl! Jun Qing’s contractual spirit, of the highest seventh level of spiritual power, had spread fear in battle throughout the lands!
For ten years….. Jun Qing had hidden the spirit from people, and most have forgotten the existence of the Bone Corroding White Owl!
With its massive wingspan of over three metres, it kicked up a bloody whirlwind among the enemies, in the eye of the storm!
“Damn it! Jun Qing legs! How can Jun Qing move like this? What is happening!?” The shadowed figures crowed as they were pushed back by the ferocious onslaught of blindingly fast swordplay by Jun Qing and the savage ferocity from the massive beast of an owl. With less than half their numbers remaining, they fled in retreat.
“Arghhhhh!!” The first of the retreating enemies screamed, and the dark clothed group turned to the sound of terror.
A magnificent black beast stood with a dark clothed figure’s neck held mangled within its massive jaws, bright red blood ran freely, as it splattered all over the ground.
Crack.
The beast broke the neck.
“None of you will leave here alive tonight.” Perched upon the back of the beast, a beautiful youthful girl declared indifferently to the panic stricken group of dark clothed men, staring down at them with cold merciless eyes.
The black beast sensed the blood thirstiness emanating from its mistress, and pounced upon the enemy.
With blindingly fast Jun Qing at their backs, the vicious Bone Corroding White Owl above, and the ferocious black beast blocking their retreat, the group of men in black fell in a symphony of screams. Even at the point of death, they did not know what hit them.
The Lin Palace was on its decline, how are they still so strong?
Nearly a hundred men in black were slaughtered in a blink of an eye, the pungent smell of blood hung heavily, the ground littered with bodies, turning the once quiet and tranquil backyard into a scene from hell, a ghastly sight to behold.
“Wu Xie! Are you alright?!” Having killed all the enemies, Jun Qing looked inquiringly at his niece perched atop the massive beast, eyes alight with wonder.
The white owl fluttered down, hooked claws on a corpse, and tilted its head, observing Jun Wu Xie’s mount.
“I’m fine, Uncle. Are you hurt?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
“It will take more than these trash to injure me, I must say I feel slighted.” Jun Qing gestured at the beast under Jun Wu Xie, eyes bright with fascination, and asked :“And, this is…..?”
The black beast looked very much like a panther, but upon closer inspection, it was bigger, more bulky and muscular, and its ears were pointed, unlike the rounded ones of a panther.
“Meow” A gentle meow sounded from the imposing black beast with its slavering fanged jaws.
Jun Qing was dumbstruck in astonishment.
This is Little Black Cat, you’ve seen him.” Jun Wu Xie explained.
“…….” Looking back at the times when Jun Wu Xie had been carrying the tiny little black cat in her arms, Jun Qing was unable to believe the massive beast that stood in front of him and that tiny kitty were one and the same.

Chapter 110: “Soaring Cloud Signal (1)”
“This is your spirit?” Jun Qing, amazed.
“Yes.” Jun Wu Xie was unable to explain how little black cat came about, and with Little Lotus still not matured in the pond, she nodded haphazardly.
“Your spiritual powers have awoken?” Jun Qing asked in surprise.
“Not too long ago, a little late though.” Jun Wu Xie replied.
Jun Qing was ecstatic, Jun Xian and him had thought Jun Wu Xie was born with no affinity with the spirits. Alas, the heavens still blessed the Jun Family!
As Jun Qing and Jun Wu Xie was talking, a blood soaked Uncle Fu rushed in with the fifteen Rui Lin Army soldiers. Seeing his lord and young m
iss fine, he dropped on one knee, sword at his side.
“My tardiness has made you suffer, my Lord and Young Miss!”
“It’s all right, all of you please rise.” Jun Qing assured them. The bulk of the enemies charged the front yard, over a hundred of them. These sixteen men were vastly outnumbered, and their clothes were now in tatters, the blood on them whether from the enemies or from the wounds they carry, was indistinguishable.
Jun Wu Xie reached into her robes and threw two white porcelain bottles to Uncle Fu.
“Taken orally and applied externally.”
Uncle Fu held the two bottles in his hands, and looked at Jun Wu Xie gratefully.
“Thank you Young Miss! If it was not for the Young Master’s help, we might have been further delayed.”
Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow in thought. Jun Wu Yao was quick and nimble in the battle, but at that moment he was nowhere to be seen.
“Tonight has shown us someone is plotting against our Lin Palace. We managed to handle them here, but father was compelled to go out of the city. Although he brought some guards with him, it is obvious that the enemy are well prepared.” Jun Qing’s expression grew grim, the attack on Lin Palace tonight was a thoroughly planned out one, if not for the false weakened front that Lin Palace had put up, the enemy might have succeeded.
Three unexpected elements threw the enemy off.
They did not expect that Jun Qing could regain the use of his legs, Jun Wu Xie’s spirit’s sudden appearance blew up in their faces, and Jun Wu Yao, with god slaying prowess…..
The series of surprises allowed the Lin Palace to overcome the overwhelming odds the enemy threw at them, and blew the well planned ruse to smithereens.
But, Jun Xian was still in danger!
“Locate Lin Wang immediately!” Jun Qing ordered.
The Lin Palace was awash in a sea of red, and before the guards were able to move out, someone came before the gates.
Li Ran, the general who just a while ago, left from these very same gates, came in pale and gaunt, bearing grave news.
Jun Xian while in pursuit of Lin Yue Yang, met with an incident, the guards were all killed, and Jun Xian himself had disappeared.
Hearing the news, Jun Qing was barely able to control his rage, his eyes tore into Li Ran, suppressing a strong compulsion to shred him to pieces.
Jun Wu Xie stared coldly at the news, stood up resolutely and hastened out the gates of Lin Palace.
“Wu Xie!” Jun Qing looked at Jun Wu Xie quizzically.
Jun Wu Xie walked on till she stepped out past the gates, she reached within her robes and pulled out a small embroidered bag that contained the Soaring Cloud Signals.
A beam of red light shot high into the night sky above Lin Palace, and exploded into a brilliant burst of fire with a ear splitting roar, obliterated the darkness completely and shattered the quiet of night!
Li Ran, who witnessed all this, fell back in shock, sitting on the ground, looking at Jun Wu Xie, teeth chattering.
With the Soaring Cloud Signal fired, the entire Rui Lin Army comes!
What was the Jun Family Missy thinking!?
“Uncle, I have to find Grandfather.” Jun Wu Xie turned her head, backlit by the signal’s flare, it was seen, the cold chilly eyes had been lit aflame.
Volume 2
Chapter 111: “Soaring Cloud Signal (2)”
A thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire Imperial City as people were abruptly awoken from their slumber looked out their windows groggily and saw the night sky illuminated red.
The citizens who did not know the reason behind the red sky felt that it was a beautiful sight as the sparkling red trailed off, as whole families gathered together, admiring it.
The officials, however, were not in the mood to enjoy the red tinged sky. Simply because that red light and that thunderous roar was all too familiar to them.
Every time they heard this sound, and saw this red sky, it only meant one thing – There was going to be bloodshed.
Soaring Cloud Signal has been activated! The call to mobilize the entire Rui Lin Army!
Tthis was a jolt to their mind as the terror that came with it filled their hearts.
Something major will happen tonight! A huge change was coming.
In the Royal Palace, the Emperor who was in his chambers let out a startled cry when he heard the resounding roar. He rushed out to see what the commotion was about as he wiped off the cold sweat but when he looked at the source of the noise, he stood there motionless as he stared agape at the red sky. It was a familiar red, as he swallowed an involuntary gulp as his heart started to feel as if it was on fire, ablaze with fear.
Who was it? Who signaled the Soaring Cloud Signal?!
Under the cover of the night, the earth was trembling slightly as the mad rush of horses neighing and hooves clamping could be heard nearing the Imperial City.
In Imperial city, the guards narrowed their eyes and peered into the darkness with the flickering torches, when they saw the cavalry of fully armoured men with the Qilin emblem coupled with their oppressive presence and with ferocious eyes. The guards felt their legs go soft as they fell back onto the city wall as they looked at the entire regiment that appeared before them.
The Rui Lin Army!
It’s the Rui Lin Army!
Riding their majestic horses and galloping into the direction of Lin Palace, they were like a gust of wind as they rushed past the guards who still had not awoken from their stupor.
That night, it was a sleepless night for everyone in the Imperial City.
In Lin Palace, Jun Wu Xie was standing motionless as if deep in thought as the night breeze blew as the flickering flames from the torches illuminated her beautiful face. However, her expression was grim and cold.
Once the Rui Lin Army reached Lin Palace, they dismounted their horses. They each had on polished silver armour with a Qilin emblem on it and immediately got down on one knee in unison as they assembled in front of Jun Wu Xie.
Long Qi was at the front of the ranks as he solemnly kneeled and said: “Young Miss”
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes as she looked at the most elite troops in the State of Qi, all the frost in her eyes were engulfed by a flame from within.
“Wu Xie! What is your intention?” Jun Qing was sitting in the hall as he looked anxiously at Jun Wu Xie who was standing at the doorway.
Jun Wu Xie turned around and looked at Jun Qing, her eyes full of murderous intent.
“Emperor to abdicate.” That foolish Emperor! How dare he?!
Jun Qing was startled as his eyes widened in shock, forcing the Emperor to abdicate? Has she lost her mind?
Li Ran who was badly shaken by the onslaught of events was trembling by the wall, his legs threatening to buckle any moment. He could not believe what he had just heard.
Lin Palace Young Miss wants the Emperor to abdicate? He was covered in cold sweat which even soaked through his clothes.
“Little Black.” Jun Wu Xie coldly called out with her icy voice. A large black shadow strode into the hall with domineering steps as in walked in majestically. It’s fangs were still stained with blood.
“Silence him.”Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes.
Li Ran’s heart felt a sense of foreboding but before he could respond, in a blink of an eye, a huge black beast had reached him.
A shrill scream resounded throughout, however in a short moment, everything went silent.
Jun Qing stared expressionlessly at Li Ran’s body that was tossed onto the floor by the black beast as it strode back to her side.
Outside the gate, Rui Lin Army had all personally witnessed this gruesome scene, they had all recognised General Li Ran, however they did not know how he had offended their Young Miss and ended up in this situation.
They all looked on coldly without uttering a single word.
Rui Lin Army had absolute obedience towards the Jun Family.
Volume 2
Chapter 112: “Soaring
Cloud Signal (3)”
When she first stepped into the Rui Lin Army’s barracks, Jun Wu Xie had, in the name of the Jun Family, assumed command of this formidable army as well!
Jun Wu Xie disregarded the General Li Ran’s body and turned to face the Rui Lin Army.
“Traitors to the crown are threatening the Imperial City, soldiers of all ranks, do your duty! Tonight, we take down the traitors!”
“Yes!” the soldiers thundered.
Perched atop the black beast, Jun Wu Xie called out, “Long Qi.”
“Here!” Long Qi replied, thinking how long it had been since the Cloud Soaring Signal was used. He could not remember it clearly, but when the signal flared, lighting the sky with its brilliance, it lit the dormant fire within him as well.
“Bring me Wu Wang.”
“It shall be done!”
“To all commanders, turn the Imperial City inside out if you have to, arrest all the traitors!” Jun Wu Xie ordered.
Whoever dares hurt a hair on Grandfather, even if its the Emperor, he shall see, the Lin Palace is not to be messed with!
Jun Qing watched on as Jun Wu Xie gave out the orders, speechless as her every word added on to the shock that shook him to the core.
Traitors? What traitors!?
Jun Wu Xie summoned the Rui Lin Army, ordered a search throughout the city, not for traitors, but for Jun Xian! She wanted chaos within the Imperial City, to rattle the Emperor, with a grand show of force to show him who he is messing with!
A hundred thousand soldiers from the Rui Lin Army, can create pandemonium.
With that force, one can even throw the Emperor off his throne!
Jun Qing finally understood, why Jun Wu Xie killed Li Ran.
Though unknowingly, Li Ran unwittingly became an accomplice that led Jun Xian into the trap. When she mentioned abdication in front of Li Ran earlier, she had not intended to let him live.
Only the uncle and niece knew about the intention to force the hand of the Emperor, and for the army to find Jun Xian. All the Rui Lin Army knew were the orders to sieve out the traitors.
