Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 19

by North Night (夜北)

  “It was my mistake and I have already sent people to go check. There wasn’t anyone who looked like Yue Yi among the dead bodies and your subordinate is guessing that Yue Yi could possibly still be alive. Afterall, he is different from other disciples, so it is possible that the culprits would want to find out some things about the Shadow Moon Palace from his mouth and have abducted him.” Elder Yue said with a serious face. He had been quick to admit his mistake without the slightest instance of denial. But though he had admitted his mistake, his words that came right after that had completely turned the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s attention into a completely different direction.

  Compared to having lost a disciple, having information about the palace divulged was much more terrifying.

  As expected, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s thoughts were drawn away by Elder Yue’s words.

  “Then haven’t you sent people out to go search! ? If those people really manage to find out anything from Yue Yi, remember Elder Yue, though Yue Ye is no longer your granddaughter, but Yue Yi is still very much your grandson! If he comes to do anything against the Shadow Moon Palace, you will not be able to absolve yourself of blame!”

  “Yes yes yes. Your subordinate will definitely put more men into the search and have the entire matter investigated clearly.” Elder Yue quickly answered.

  And standing on the side, Yue Ye listened to every word that was exchanged between them, her heart turning cold the more she heard.

  The Shadow Moon Palace Lord was more concerned on whether Yue Yi would reveal information about the Shadow Moon Palace and no longer placed much emphasis on whether Yue Yi lived or died. Yue Ye felt her entire body turn chill, the palms of her hands breaking out in cold sweat.

  That was her Big Brother! Her only kin!

  But from the words coming out of Elder Yue’s and the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s mouths, her elder brother was only merely like an object, and whether he lived or died did not deserve the slightest bit of attention from them.

  With that thought in mind, Yue Ye felt as if she had fallen into an ice glacier, her body trembling incessantly.

  The Shadow Moon Palace Lord admonished Elder Yue for a while but due to Elder Yue’s seniority, he wasn’t too harsh. He went on to order Elder Yue to deal with the matter as quickly as possible and he must not allow any inside information of the Shadow Moon Palace to be leaked.

  “Your subordinate understands and your subordinate will act on it immediately.” Elder Yue answered in deference, his lowered eyes submissive. But for just one instant unnoticed by the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, Elder Yue’s eyes glanced to look at the trembling Yue Ye, and the venom in those eyes caused Yue Ye to gasp.

  [It’s him!]

  [It’s definitely him!]

  “My Lord, shall I then take my leave?” Elder Yue then said.

  “Go on.” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord massaged his throbbing temples. Already a little drunk in the first place, hearing such news only made him feel more frustrated and distraught.

  Elder Yue then walked out from the room under Yue Ye’s furious gaze.

  Chapter 1848: “Flesh and Blood (1)”

  The Shadow Moon Palace Lord then seemed to notice Yue Ye’s fear and he turned his head to say: “Little Ye, I will definitely think of a way to say your elder brother.”

  Yue Ye fought to contain the rage she felt inside and only managed to pull a weak smile onto her pale face.

  “Little Ye has just this one Big Brother and I beg for my Lord to save my Big Brother.”

  “Definitely. Even if it is only for the sake of Little Ye, I will definitely save your elder brother.” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord then took the chance to hold Yue Ye’s little hand in his, thinking to take it a step further but his throbbing pain in his head made it impossible and he could only say a few words in reassurance before letting Yue Ye leave.

  Yue Ye looking calm as she walked out from the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s chambers and the skies outside showed it was getting late. Moonlight shone across the ground and Yue Ye went treading upon the pale lit ground, every single step seemingly stepping onto the tip of her heart, shrouded in sadness.

  “Little Ye.” A voice that sounded like her greatest nightmare suddenly rang out behind Yue Ye.

  Yue Ye jumped in shock and turned to look towards the voice.

  Elder Yue came walking slowly out from within the shadows at the side, and upon that smug face, was a sinister smile that sent chills up a person’s spine.

  “Little Ye is truly an intelligent little child to know how to make use of the Palace Lord to get what you want. But….. haven’t I treated you well enough? Everything from the food you eat to what you wear and live in, were all several times better than other disciples in the Shadow Moon Palace and slightly inferior only to the Young Lord. Even with that, you were still not satisfied? Truly an untamable wolf cub.” Elder Yue said with his eyes narrowed, staring viciously at Yue Ye.

  Yue Ye held her breath as she stared at the gradually approaching Elder Yue.

  Elder Yue stared at the highly nervous Yue Ye and reached a hand out to lift up a few strands of her hair at her shoulder, where he then brought it up under his nose to take a whiff.

  “Little Ye still likes to keep herself clean like before, regardless that you’re always digging around in dirt and soil all the time, you still smell as fresh as ever. But I wonder, after a person is burnt up in flames, would their body still smell fresh like Little Ye here?”

  Yue Ye’s heart quaked and her eyes widened as she looked at Elder Yue whose words held another meaning.

  “What have you done with my Big Brother!” Yue Ye’s eyes flashed as she asked through tightly clenched teeth.

  “Yue Yi? That is my grandson, what could I possibly do to him? You heard it very clearly just now. The branch at Hill City was attacked and it was an accident which I had not expected as well. Yue Yi is so obedient, unlike the ingrate that you are, a thankless wench, so I will naturally dote on him. I am very worried about him just as well you know? Tell me, under that fiery blaze and with his injuries not fully recovered, how could he possibly be able to escape from the engulfing flames? Or it might be said….. after he was captured, what kind of torment would he have to suffer? It really pains me so much.” Elder Yue grumbled in an insidious voice.

  Every single word that came out of that mouth, was like a sharp blade that pierced into Yue Ye’s heart.

  “You must let him go now! I can go plead with the Palace Lord, to let me remain by your side.” Yue Ye’s hands were clenched up into fists, a desperate plea tearing right out from her throat.

  She only had Yue Yi as her blood kin, and she would not be able to withstand the agony of losing her elder brother.

  So what if she was free? If she could save Yue Yi, she was willing to give up everything!

  “What a deep bond between siblings. But Yue Ye, do you really think I have gone dotty? After you have said so much to the Palace Lord, you think you can renege on your word as you like? Even if you tell him you want to come back, the Palace Lord will just think that I am threatening you, and I do not wish to incur the Palace Lord’s wrath.” Elder Yue said with a soft laugh.

  “Then what do you want me to do? I can do anything.” Yue Ye drew a deep breath and said.

  Volume 19

  Chapter 1849: “Flesh and Blood (2)”

  “What I want you to do?” Elder Yue said with a laugh. “I have not thought of it yet. But since you share such a close bond with Yue Yi, and you both see each other as the flesh over your heart, then as the grandfather of you both, I can’t bear to see the two of you suffer like this, so I have something here as a present for you.”

  Upon saying that, Elder Yue took out a brocade box from his chest.

  Yue Ye took it in silence, and at the very moment she opened the brocade box, all the warmth in her entire body seeped out from her!

  In that brocade box, was a bloodied piece of flesh!

 
“It’s flesh over your brother’s heart. Make sure to keep it safe!” Elder Yue then pulled at Yue Ye’s hair hard.

  The excruciating pain from having her scalp almost torn off immediately caused Yue Ye’s eyes to brim up with tears.

  Elder Yue forced her to raise her head up, to look his his face that was twisted up in hatred.

  “Little slut, you dare to betray me? What do you think you are? You and your brother are merely just playthings that I use to amuse myself. Since you dare to turn around and bite me, I know of endless ways to make you live a fate worse than death, you just slowly wait and see!” After he said that, Elder Yue released his hand, and kicked Yue Ye onto the ground.

  “You’d better know your place. If you do not want anything to happen to you brother, then make sure you behave and listen to me. Whatever I want you to do in future, you will have to do exactly as I say or what you see will not just be flesh covering your brother’s heart but his corpse!” Elder Yue said with a contemptible sneer, where he then spat upon Yue Ye who had fallen to the ground before striding away with wide steps.

  Yue Ye sat dazed upon the ice cold stone slabs, feeling so cold her entire body shivered uncontrollably. Her eyes were wide as she stared at the piece of flesh in the brocade box, her heart feeling as if it was about to jump out from her chest. A searing pain tore at her chest, making her feel so highly nauseous she vomited, but nothing came out.

  That was her Big Brother’s flesh…..

  That was her Big Brother’s…..

  Yue Ye had endured so much for so many years but she had never been in as much despair as she was feeling at this moment. Elder Yue vengeance had struck so viciously, clutching directly upon her vitals in one stroke!

  Elder Yue’s vicious words echoed in Yue Ye’s mind. At that moment, Yue Ye had lost any ability to think. The very instant she thought of the fact that her elder brother had fallen into Elder Yue’s hands, the agony was worse than death!

  Yue Ye was trembling as she climbed to her feet from the ground. It had been a clear night sky but dark ominous clouds suddenly came floating in overhead, blocking out the bright moon as darkness engulfed everything surrounding her.

  A light pattering drizzle then fell, the little drops of rain falling upon Yue Ye’s shivering body.

  The light drizzle turned into a heavy downpour, and Yue Ye’s tears blended in with the falling rain. She clutched the brocade box tightly to her chest, stumbling as she climbed to her feet.

  Her mind was a complete blank and she did not know what she wanted to do at all. She just blindly went walking forward, the icy cold raindrops hitting upon her wretched frame, drenching her completely, but she did not feel a thing.

  At that same moment, Jun Wu Xie was playing with Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit as she carried them in her arms inside her room. When she suddenly detected a strange presence, she handed the two dumb beasts back to Ye Sha.

  “Meh.” Lord Meh Meh waved its four tiny hooves unforgivingly, protesting vehemently against their days where they spent more time apart than being together.

  Ever since they came to the Middle Realm, the time it spent together with Jun Wu Xie had reduced by a lot where the time it had to eat good food was reduced in tandem. Although Ye Sha and Ye Gu took very good care of them, the two dumb beasts still highly missed the nice smelling scent upon Jun Wu Xie’s person.

  “Be good.” Jun Wu Xie said as she raised up a hand to rub Lord Meh Meh on its tiny head.

  Volume 19

  Chapter 1850: “Flesh and Blood (3)”

  Lord Meh Meh gratefully enjoyed the attention and almost purred, finally no longer kicking a fuss as it obediently allowed Ye Sha to carry it away.

  Jun Wu Xie got up and walked to the door and the moment she opened it, she saw the heavy downpour and Yue Ye standing silently in the yard, her exquisite little face totally devoid of colour and her bright eyes having lost their focus. Under the dense rain pelting down upon her tiny frame, she stood there looking highly wretched with her shoulders tightly hunched as she clutched something tightly close, seemingly about to collapse and crumble at any moment.

  The figure of Jun Wu Xie morphed into a ray of light as she shot speedily to Yue Ye’s side, and she immediately pulled off her coat to drape it over Yue Ye’s body.

  From when had her little disciple been able to show an expression filled with so much despair and hopelessness?

  “Master…..” Yue Ye saw Jun Wu Xie, and the emotions she struggled so hard to hold in finally burst forth. With a cry, she fell into Jun Wu Xie’s arms, weeping her heart out.

  Jun Wu Xie widened the flare of her spirit power, putting up a barrier around Yue Ye and herself to block out the icy cold rain.

  Yue Ye sobbed in Jun Wu Xie’s arms till she almost collapsed. In the ten years she was here in the Shadow Moon Palace, she had never been in so much despair, and that overwhelming fear and terror had finally caused that heart that was only twelve years old to crumble.

  Jun Wu Xie just stood by Yue Ye silently, letting her cry it all out.

  Under that rainy scene, even with the spirit power barrier keeping the rain out, Yue Ye’s body was still continuing to turn chill, and that chill was spreading through Yue Ye’s completely drenched clothes onto Jun Wu Xie.

  “Big Brother….. Big Brother….. My Big Brother….. Master….. Please save him….. Save him…..” Yue Ye’s hoarse voice spat out her words in utter despair.

  She no longer had any other route to choose from. She could no longer see any hope.

  “Alright. I’ll save him.” Jun Wu Xie still did not know what had happened, but she still remembered the words that Su Ya had said before.

  As someone’s Master, then one must protect his own disciple. If the disciple can beat the opponent, let him fight his own fight. If he cannot win, then the Master will shoulder the responsibility!

  No matter what happened, Jun Wu Xie would go all out to help Yue Ye.

  Because, this was her one and only disciple.

  Yue Ye highly strung nerves finally snapped at that moment, as if after she heard Jun Wu Xie’s promise, she had finally grasped upon the last life saving straw of grass, and with the toll hammered upon her originally weak body from the icy cold rain, Yue Ye finally succumbed and fainted away into unconsciousness.

  Jun Wu Xie held Yue Ye up by the waist with a scoop of her arm, thinking to quickly bring Yue Ye inside to give her treatment.

  But as Yue Ye fainted, the brocade box that Yue Ye had clutched so tightly to her chest suddenly fell to the ground, opening up its lid.

  A piece of bloodied flesh fell straight out from the box.

  With the rainwater splashing upon it, the bloodstains upon the piece of flesh spread out with the flow of water.

  With the many years of experience Jun Wu Xie had as a doctor, she could immediately tell that that piece of flesh….. came from a human!

  “Ye Sha!” Jun Wu Xie could out free up her hands and had no choice but to summon Ye Sha.

  Ye Sha immediately picked the piece of flesh up and put it back into the box before picking the entire box up.

  Jun Wu Xie drew in a deep breath. Holding Yue Ye, she dashed straight into the room as a fiery rage burned intensely in her chest.

  After Jun Wu Xie came into the room, she laid Yue Ye upon the bed and she dismissed Ye Sha for the moment before changing Yue Ye out of her cold and wet clothes.

  Seeing Yue Ye unconscious but her body still curled up due to her lack of any sense of security, Jun Wu Xie’s eyes darkened.

  After having changed Yue Ye’s clothes, fed her with medicine and covering the blanket snugly over her, Jun Wu Xie went walking into another room.

  In that room, Ye Sha and Ye Gu stood by a table, and upon that table was the brocade box that contained the piece of flesh.

  Volume 19

  Chapter 1851: “Flesh and Blood (4)”

  Jun Wu Xie stared at that piece of flesh and based on Yue Ye’s reaction and what she had said, Ju
n Wu Xie could roughly guess the origins of that piece of flesh. Her eyes narrowed up, murder filling up within.

  “Ye Gu.” Jun Wu Xie called.

  “Your subordinate is here.” Ye Gu immediately acknowledged.

  “From today onwards, you keep a full watch on Elder Yue. No matter where he goes, and whatever he does, tell me every single thing.” Jun Wu Xie said in a cold voice.

  “Your subordinate has received his orders!” With that acknowledgement, the figure of Ye Gu then disappeared completely from the room in a flash.

  So what if Elder Yue was a Silver Spirit?

  Before the Commander in Chief of the Night Regime, he was nothing.

  “Young Miss, this is Yue Yi’s…..” Ye Sha started to say softly, as he looked at Jun Wu Xie’s darkened face.

  “It should be.” Jun Wu Xie said with a nod.

  She had considered the fact that Elder Yue would exact revenge and act in retaliation, but she had not thought that Elder Yue’s method would be so extreme. Even though Yue Ye had escaped from being under his control, which would then inadvertently lead to the level that he could manipulate Yue Yi reducing slightly, but as long as Yue Ye was still in the Shadow Moon Palace. Elder Yue would still be able to use her to threaten Yue Yi.

  But with such extreme methods being employed by Elder Yue, it showed he intended to force Yue Yi and Yue Ye to their deaths, where he was not even willing to put up the slightest pretence of amicability.

  Jun Wu Xie had underestimated Elder Yue’s vicious nature and the extremes he would go to. Having thought that Yue Yi was the lone best chip he held in his hands, even when he had been played out by Yue Ye, he would surely not sacrifice Yue Yi. It could now be seen that Elder Yue’s personality was more vicious than Jun Wu Xie had imagined.

  “Young Miss, you asked the bossman to go watch Elder Yue, why not just capture and interrogate him instead?” Ye Sha asked, feeling a little puzzled.
