Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 2

by North Night (夜北)

  “No….. no….. NO….. I don’t want to die! Please….. Please….. Please let me go, I….. I will never go against you again…..” Bai Yun Xian sobbed as she pleaded, she understands….. She now knows the effects of the poison Mo Xuan Fei consumed….. She will never dare go against Jun Wu Xie again…..

  To have your whole body constantly rotting, like a walking corpse….. That was just too terrifying!!

  Even as a disciple of the esteemed Qing Yun Clan, she had never come across poison that had such terrifying effects.

  Bai Yun Xian screamed herself hoarse, but was unable to escape her fate. The Rui Lin Army guards forced the poison down her throat. Bai Yun Xian was struck dumb as they pill went down her throat, she trembled violently, unable to move a muscle.

  “This poison will not kill you. It will just make flesh rot bit by bit. Do not worry though, you won’t die from it. When the flesh rots to the bone, flesh will regenerate back onto it. Rest assured, it won’t kill you.” Jun Wu Xie looked coldly at Bai Yun Xian, her every word driving Bai Yun Xian to wail unabashed.

  Staying alive like this….. Death would have been sweet…..

  Does this mean, she would have to live out the rest of her life a hideous monster?

  Her desperation to live lent her the strength to escape the hold of the guards, and she fell at the feet of Jun Wu Xie. She wailed as she pleaded: “I beg you to spare me, I beg you! Please! Spare me and I’ll do anything you want…. Anything! My….. my senior fellow disciple will arrive at the Qi Kingdom soon. Don’t kill me, I promise not to speak a word of this…..”

  Bai Yun Xian was totally flustered, the Min Butterfly had come back with the news that people from Qing Yun Clan will arrive at the Kingdom of Qi within five days. She had held onto that as her last hope for rescue, but Jun Wu Xie’s poison had extinguished even that last glimmer of light and she only saw a future bleak and desolate.

  If that was her life, living as a horrendous ghastly monster, she would rather not live!

  Jun Wu Xie watched Bai Yun Xian as she pleaded and gestured to the Rui Lin Army guards. The two soldiers lifted Bai Yun Xian to stand before Jun Wu Xie.

  “This medicine here can curb the poison within you. You will have to maintain the dosage or the rotting poison will start to take over, and nothing can save you then.” Jun Wu Xie produced a small pill and put it before Bai Yun Xian. Bai Yun Xian opened her mouth wide anxious to take the medicine immediately.

  After Bai Yun Xian swallowed the medicine, a cold chill flashed briefly in Jun Wu Xie’s eyes.

  “Remember what you promised me today. If you go back on your words, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than Mo Xuan Fei.” Jun Wu Xie warned her frostily.

  Bai Yun Xian nodded her head vigorously. Having suffered under her vicious hand, Bai Yun Xian had lost all will and guts to confront Jun Wu Xie in any way.

  Jun Wu Xie had the guards return Bai Yun Xian and Mo Xuan Fei returned to their cells, and commanded Bai Yun Xian to surrender all information she had of the people of Qing Yun Clan who were arriving in the Imperial City.

  Bai Yun Xian knelt on the stone floor within the cell, a brush in her hand and paper parchment spread on the ground. Her ears were filled by moans from Mo Xuan Fei, and when she raised her head, her eyes was met with the horrendous sight of Mo Xuan Fei, whose flesh had rotted to the bone. The unforgettable sight, made her shudder in horror every time she thought about it.

  Chapter 179: “Might of the Qing Yun Clan (1)”

  The former Emperor who was sharing the cell with Mo Xuan Fei looked on in silence at Bai Yun Xian in the opposite cell, his eyes narrowed in hatred. If Bai Yun Xian had not foolishly sent the Min Butterfly to the far distant Qing Yun Clan, they would have been saved earlier. If Bai Yun Xian had not used such an insidious poison on the people of the Imperial City, Jun Wu Xie and Mo Qian Yuan would not have any reason to bring their army into the Imperial Palace.

  He would not have abdicated, and Mo Xuan Fei would not have turned into such a horrid looking beast.

  It was all because of this woman!

  Dumb and naive, and she made them lose everything.

  Bai Yun Xian had been scared senseless and did not notice the stare of malevolence, she was praying fervently she does not turn hideous like Mo Xuan Fei.

  At this moment, thoughts of love and devotion could not be further from her mind, and only staying alive and well was her foremost thought.

  The former Emperor continued to stare coldly at Bai Yun Xian. Things have come to such a stage where he no longer harboured any hope for himself, but Jun Wu Xie’s intention to deceive Qing Yun Clan through Bai Yun Xian, would not be an easy task.

  There was one other thing, he had dealt secretly with the Chief of the Qing Yun Clan, something that not even Bai Yun Xian was aware of. The people arriving in Qi, were coming not to just rescue Bai Yun Xian…..

  He shall watch, watch Jun Wu Xie, watch Mo Qian Yuan, watch Bai Yun Xian, all die a thousand deaths!

  The former Emperor gave out a low laugh, a laughter repressed and twisted. Bai Yun Xian looked up at the former Emperor at the in fear, and saw the scathing stare he gave her, eager to rip her apart.

  Bai Yun Xian slithered back into the further corner in the cell. She did not feel any guilt, as she did not think herself responsible for the current situation. She saw herself a victim, victimised by Jun Wu Xie, a lunatic in the Kingdom of Qi who tormented her. A victim of the impotence of the former Emperor and Mo Xuan Fei, who dragged her into this mess. She was just looking after her own hide, what was wrong with that!?

  Five days later, a convoy of beautiful carriages approached slowly from the outskirts of Imperial City, each carriage flying a banner with a cloud totem. The guards at the city gates hastened to let them pass upon seeing the banners, allowing them unobstructed passage right to the Imperial Palace.

  The cloud totem, was the insignia of the Qing Yun Clan. Any convoy bearing the totem, went unobstructed everywhere.

  In the midst of the convoy, the most beautiful carriage of all, was a girl clad in a light blue dress, a peerless beauty. She sat in the carriage, her bright eyes looking out the carriage window, watching the crowds of people gathered along the sides of the streets, people of the Kingdom of Qi, and she raised the corner of her red lips ever so slightly, gracing the people with a smile so graceful and gentle.

  “This is the Kingdom of Qi?” The blue dressed girl turned her gaze back into the carriage and asked.

  “Yes, Eldest Miss.” Her companion in the carriage was a white haired old man. He might be advanced in age, but the penetrating and astute gaze he gave out told people otherwise.

  “Yun Xian got herself trapped in this tiny place? That is…..” The girl sighed lightly, and shrugged it off, but a slight tinge of disdain flashed briefly in those eyes.

  “That was what Miss Yun Xian’s Min Butterfly conveyed.” The old man replied respectfully.

  “I did not see many guards within and without the city. Didn’t Yun Xian say the city was surrounded by the army called the Rui Lin Army?” The girl cupped her chin in her palm in disapproval. The Qing Yun Clan convoy had not seen anything untoward along its journey, and there were not many soldiers spotted, a contrast to the message the Min Butterfly had conveyed.

  Volume 2

  Chapter 180: “Might of Qing Yun Clan (2)“

  “The purpose of our journey is not just for Miss Yun Xian, but to retrieve an item our Clan Chief desires. Eldest Miss, you had not been out for a time, it’s might be good to come out for a spot of fresh air.” The old man said with a laugh.

  The girl in blue smiled and did not say anything more.

  As they rolled along the bustling streets, the people’s eyes were attracted to the convoy and crowded the sides of the streets craning their necks to get a better look. On the second level of a restaurant along the street, Jun Wu Xie sat by the window and looked down at the convoy of carriages that just entered the Imperial City. />
  “Qing Yun Clan.” Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. There were a total of ten carriages, and excluding the coachmen driving the horses, there were at least two passengers per carriage.

  “Bai Yun Xian told us, there were about ten people from the Qing Yun Clan arriving and the leader among them is the daughter of the Qing Yun Clan’s Clan Sovereign, Qin Yu Yan. Accompanying her was an Elder of the Qing Yun Clan, Jiang Chen Qing and eight disciples from the clan. They will be escorted by fifteen expert exponents not from their clan.” Mo Qian Yuan who was sitting at her side verified that against the list Bai Yun Xian gave them. Qing Yun Clan was the topmost clan in medicine, and many mighty powers were eager to lend them a hand. The fifteen exponents must have been gathered from those powers.

  “Bai Yun Xian had no knowledge on the fifteen exponents,but she gave us very detailed information on the people from Qing Yun Clan. Jiang Chen Qing had already broken the blue level barrier with his contractual spirit, a level rarely seen. Besides him, the other Qing Yun Clan disciples have at least achieved the yellow level and beyond. The Qing Yun Clan have sent a mighty force this time, they mobilized a blue spirit, and gathered fifteen exponents from external forces. I believe those fifteen exponents are not too far off from Jiang Chen Qing by much.”

  Jun Wu Xie listened quietly and thought it through. According to the norm in the speed in training, for a person to break the blue level barrier, he has to be over a hundred years old. But according to Bai Yun Xian, Jiang Chen Qing was only just past seventy. From the red level to blue, he had shortened the average time needed by an astounding thirty over years, he must be extremely gifted!

  In a broad sense, no exponent from the Kingdom of Qi had broken the blue level spirit barrier. Her uncle was already perceived to be gifted, and he had only managed to achieve the top end of level yellow. Her grandfather had struggled in the green level for more than two decades and have not managed to break blue.

  From green to blue, it might be a difference of one level, but for one who is not gifted, it will take them sixty long years…..

  For the average person, even if immediately after their contractual spirit awakens, they train and developed nonstop every single day, they will be one hundred and seven years old to achieve a level green spirit, provided they do not meet with any difficulties breaking all the level barriers and ascend successfully to the next level, before they can even achieve green.

  If they meet with any mishaps breaking the barriers, the time taken is compounded.

  It might be easy to raise spiritual powers, as all it takes was concentration. But breaking level barriers had smashed the hopes and dreams of many.

  You did not need to be gifted to raise your spiritual powers, but it was essential when you attempt to break level barriers.

  Many have trained half their lives, and only managed a level orange spirit.

  Jun Wu Xie bit down on her lip in thought, her spirit was a measly level red one. Although she had an inkling she was about to break into level orange, in the face of a blue spirit, she would be annihilated in the blink of an eye.

  It’s not enough!

  Not strong enough!

  Qing Yun Clan had easily mobilized a mighty blue spirit, and their might stood before her, an unscalable mountain on her heart, making her gasp for air.

  The might of Qing Yun Clan, had steeled Jun Wu Xie’s heart, to avoid having the Jun Family go against Qing Yun Clan at all cost, for now.

  Chapter 181: “Might of Qing Yun Clan (3)“

  “How are things over on your side?” Jun Wu Xie asked as she turned her eyes away.

  Mo Qian Yuan replied: “Everything has been arranged as you planned. Bai Yun Xian has been moved to the previous Crown Prince Palace and everything there has been arranged to prevent rousing any suspicions from the people of Qing Yun Clan even if they are to meet.” Mo Qian Yuan looked up at Jun Wu Xie and hesitated a moment before asking: “You really believe that Bai Yun Xian will keep up her end of the bargain? What if she reneges upon meeting her clan members and spills the beans on us?”

  “What she has witnessed for the past few days will tell her how to choose.” Jun Wu Xie sipped on her tea, its fragrance permeating the air.

  “You turned Mo Xuan Fei into that hideous monster just for this purpose?” Mo Qian Yuan was stunned at the realization. Mo Xuan Fei’s looks had made many people who saw him these past few days turn pale in horror, the flesh on his body was rotted, and while he was locked in the filthy dungeon, his rotting wounds had attracted numerous rats, ants, maggots and such eating away at him, which hastened the effects of the rot.

  Mo Qian Yuan had witnessed the rot on Mo Xuan Fei himself, a thin layer of flesh barely covering his bones that were exposed in many other areas. He looked just like a corpse, but the flesh regenerates and the cycle of rot repeats itself.

  That was what traumatised Bai Yun Xian in the dungeon, having occupied the cell directly facing Mo Xuan Fei. Even when she turned her eyes away from him, the overpowering stench and the sounds from the nibbling rats assaulted her every moment.

  No matter how resolute one can be, after seeing the horrendous torment Mo Xuan Fei was put under, no one would dare risk it to suffer under the same fate.

  “Bai Yun Xian treasures her life too much. It is normal for her to harbour intentions of going back on her word. But before she does that, she has to ascertain if Qing Yun Clan can produce an antidote for it.” Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow, chin nestled in palm, looking at the convoy getting further away from sight.

  “That was why you made me release Mo Xuan Fei and appoint him a Royal Duke and have him stay in the Imperial Palace? To allow Bai Yun Xian to make use of Mo Xuan Fei as a guinea pig for the people of Qing Yun Clan to assess if they are able to treat the poison?” Mo Qian Yuan asked as he was awed by the meticulous planning involved. Two days ago, Jun Wu Xie had not only released Bai Yun Xian from the dungeon, she had hauled Mo Xuan Fei, who was as good as dead, and placed them in the palace he had previously occupied.

  Mo Qian Yuan had not understood the rationale behind Jun Wu Xie’s actions before, and it was clear now, all the torment that Mo Xuan Fei was put through, was used just to make a terrifying threat to Bai Yun Xian.

  “You are absolutely certain, the bunch from Qing Yun Clan, are unable to unravel and overcome your poison?” Mo Qian Yuan asked cautiously.

  That was of paramount importance, for Bai Yun Xian to keep her silence.

  “With their capabilities?” Jun Wu Xie asked coldly, her question said it all.

  “Your word is good enough for me! The Qing Yun Clan carriages will be reaching the Imperial Palace soon. The Emperor has to go prepare himself to ‘welcome’ our distinguished guests.” Even after becoming the Emperor, Mo Qian Yuan carried no airs with Jun Wu Xie and disregarded the need for cumbersome formalities.

  Jun Wu Xie waved her hand nonchalantly and Mo Qian Yuan disappeared. Long Qi who was guarding downstairs saw him leave and proceeded upstairs.

  “Saw anything unusual?” Jun Wu Xie asked.

  Long Qi reported: “The coachmen were just regular people,and the passengers inside did not reveal themselves. But in one of the carriages that passed, I saw a young lady at the window.”

  “The daughter of the Qing Yun Clan Sovereign?” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows in amusement.

  “Your subordinate am not sure.”

  “Have them followed, but do not get too close, and do not be seen.”

  Volume 2

  Chapter 182: “Might of Qing Yun Clan (4)“

  The carriages from the Qing Yun Clan stopped outside the Imperial Palace. The guards were prepared and stood in formation in welcome. Standing before the Palace, Mo Qian Yuan was dressed in his dragon robe, smiling at the guests.

  Qin Yu Yan stepped off from her carriage, her peerless beauty attracting countless eyes.

  “A very revered welcome to Miss Qin.” Mo Qian Yuan did not show any haughtiness as the Emperor, and stepped up
to welcome them with a smile.

  Jiang Chen Qing frowned at the young Emperor, “You are the Emperor of Qi?” His tone devoid of any respect.

  Mo Qian Yuan did not take offence, and laughed it off. “The former Emperor was in ill health, and handed down the throne, I am the current Emperor of the Kingdom of Qi.”

  “You are Mo Qian Yuan?” Jiang Chen Qing asked.

  “That’s right.”

  With his reply, Jiang Chen Qing‘s expression turned frosty, and his spiritual power started to diffuse from his body. Mo Qian Yuan felt an overpowering oppression pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

  “It seems what Yun Xian told us was true, you have collaborated with the slut from the Jun Family and wanted to bring harm to a disciple of the Qing Yun Clan!”

  And Jiang Chen Qing was about to strike!

  When Bai Yun Xian had relayed the message to Qing Yun Clan, she had mentioned that Jun Wu Xie had allied with the Crown Prince, Mo Qian Yuan. Now that Jiang Chen Qing had verified that the Emperor’s throne had fallen into the hands of Mo Qian Yuan, he had felt that was all he needed to know!

  “Elder, please allow me to explain! Who in the Kingdom of Qi dares to lay a ginger on Miss Bai? There is another reason why Miss Bai relayed the message like this to Qing Yun Clan, and the actual situation is totally different!” Mo Qian Yuan asked hastily, forcing himself to calm down.

  “Allow him to finish, Uncle Jiang.” Qin Yu Yan who had remained silent interjected, stopping Jiang Chen Qing.

  Jiang Chen Qing reluctantly restrained his spiritual powers, but kept his eyes fixed on Mo Qian Yuan.

  Mo Qian Yuan heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, he had thought Bai Yun Xian to be reckless, but compared to Jiang Chen Qing, a lunatic who went for the kill immediately, Bai Yun Xian was a tame little rabbit.
