Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 11

by North Night (夜北)

  Lin Que put on an ingratiating smile upon his face and thanked Young Master Yun repeatedly before he led his men into the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.

  The Heavenly Cloud Chambers was seven storeys tall and that person lived on the top level.

  Lin Que followed behind Young Master Yun the entire way as he made some enquiries about that person’s mood today. Young Master Yun having accepted the gift had naturally spilled every single detail he knew and when they got to the top level, Lin Que immediately shut his mouth.

  On the topmost level of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, the entire floor was covered with snowy white fox skin rugs. Every single inch within the room was covered with lavish extravagance. Gold trinkets and jade jewellery could be seen scattered everywhere and several lightly clothed and handsome looking young men were seated on one side, some playing the zither, some picking at the pipa, and a few piping out melodies on jade flutes.

  Another group of good looking men were leaning against the sides of an elaborate consort’s lounge chair, offering up platters of fruits and wine, their faces plastered with adulating smiles.

  A lady in red was lounging lazily on the long lounge chair, being served by the mass of young men. She was beautiful looking and the ends of her eyes were slighted edged upwards, looking to be only in her twenties. A mane of black flowed out behind her, as one man knelt on the floor, carefully combing it out.

  Lin Que glanced once at the beautiful lady, his face showing a cautious smile.

  Who would have thought that the unparalleled beauty was in actuality an old woman beyond a hundred years old?

  Chapter 1015: “Heavenly Cloud Chambers (3)”

  “Your subordinate Lin Que pays his greetings to the Great Aunt.” Lin Que paid his obeisance, kneeling down on both his knees.

  The beautiful lady being waited upon hand and foot by a good number of attractive looking men lifted her eyes slightly, her alluring eyes lightly sweeping over Lin Que as she said nonchalantly: “Little Yun told me you have something you need to see me for? And that it has to do with the Devious Wyvern. I remember you telling me just a few days ago that you will be presenting the Devious Wyvern as a gift to me for my birthday celebrations. For you to come here today, wouldn’t that mean that there has been a problem?”

  The pitch she spoke with had been light and the voice enchanting, but the tone was nevertheless piercing like a needle, that drove pain into Lin Que.

  Cold sweat ran down Lin Que’s back, as he knelt firmly before the lady, his face already pale as a ghost.

  “Your subordinate is guilty! Your subordinate has failed to rein in my unruly son which had caused the moron to fall prey to the scheme of people with ill intentions, resulting in him losing the Devious Wyvern, and I beg for the Great Aunt to mete out punishment!”

  The beautiful lady’s eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Lin Que kneeling upon the ground, and then she suddenly broke out into a laugh sounding like the tinkle of silver bells.

  “Lin Que, the reason you have come here today, is just to tell me that your son had lost my Devious Wyvern?”

  Lin Que started shaking as he remained kneeling upon the ground. Although what his ears heard was laughter, but that sound instead caused his entire body to break out in cold sweat!

  “It’s your subordinate’s negligence that caused my son…..”

  A shattering crash sounded!

  A white jade wine cup had smashed upon Lin Que’s temple and a wound had immediately opened up on his head. Blood gushed out from the wound on his temple and started dripping down, the bright red blood dripping upon the white fox fur rugs on the ground, devilish blood flowers seemingly blooming upon the snowy white.

  Lin Que did not dare to move from his spot and forced himself to remain kneeling as he said in a hurry: “It was my offspring’s foolishness, that allowed him to fall into the scheme set up by people, which made him lose the Devious Wyvern. Your subordinate has already investigated and looked into the matter clearly. The other party had actually disguised his Guardian Grade Spirit Beast as a low grade Spirit Beast which was the main cause of this issue. Although he was set up by others, but this incident still cannot be disassociated completely with your subordinate’s incompetent son and your subordinate is willing to submit myself to the Great Aunt’s punishment on my foolish son’s behalf.”

  The beautiful lady narrowed up her eyes and sat up upon the long lounge chair. “Guardian Grade Spirit Beast?”

  Lin Que’s heart filled with joy, realizing that he had chosen the right method. He quickly replied: “Yes, it was undoubtedly a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast. That person was brought in by the people from the Fiery Blaze Clan and his name is Jun Xie. The person had never been in the Thousand Beast City before this.”

  “Jun Xie? That’s interesting. Someone actually dares to lay hands upon the things that I want.” A malicious expression appeared upon the beautiful lady’s face and she clapped her hands which were fair as white jade lightly together.

  And a towering man immediately came up from downstairs.

  When Lin Que saw that man, he became even more cautious. That man was one of the powerful men the Great Aunt had brought here with her.

  “Go look into the background of who that Jun Xie is.” The lady said, her voice sounding highly displeased.

  The man was surprised and he hesitated a moment after receiving his orders, seemingly having remembered something. He suddenly turned to Lin Que and said: “That person named Jun Xie, how old is he, and is he male or female?”

  Lin Que quickly replied: “He looked to be fourteen or fifteen years of age, small built, just a young immature youthful boy.”

  An eyebrow on the man’s face lifted and he took a step forward to say: “Your subordinate has actually heard of the name Jun Xie before.”

  “Oh?” The lady looked at the man inquiringly.

  “A few days ago, our spies from the Fire Country sent in a report, saying that a great upheaval had shaken up the Fire Country’s ruling Imperial Family. The ruling regime of the Fire Country has changed hands and it had been to a person called Jun Xie! A youth that was about fourteen or fifteen years of age, and Xiong Ba has just returned from the Fire Country. If my guess if not wrong, the Jun Xie that Lin Que is talking about, should be the new ruling Emperor of the Fire Country.” The man said slowly.

  Lin Que’s heart was suddenly overtaken with shock!

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1016: “Heavenly Cloud Chambers (4)”

  Lin Que would never ever have thought, that Jun Wu Xie would possess such a prestigious background. In the Thousand Beast City, although he held the highly revered post of a Clan Chief, but it was not at a level that would be able to stand against the ruling Emperor of the biggest country throughout the lands, and Lin Que suddenly found himself completely bathed in cold sweat.

  In his heart, he was cursing that son of his who was always stirring up so much trouble, many millions of times.

  Of all the people in the world to offend, he had to choose to offend the Emperor of the Fire Country. His plan to divert the Grand Aunt’s rage onto Jun Xie this time looked like it was about to go up in smoke.

  “A youth merely fourteen to fifteen years of age was actually able to become the Fire Country’s Emperor? Is that a joke from the Fire Country?” The lady asked doubtfully.

  “Your subordinate heard that Jun Xie has a ring named the Ring of Imperial Fire and it was originally owned by one of the past Emperors of the Fire Country. That Emperor had gone missing for a very long time and the throne was temporarily taken over by his younger brother. Upon ascending to the throne, the younger brother had issued an Imperial Decree that once a person who holds the Ring of Imperial Fire appears, all descendants of his are to abdicate and give up the throne in favour of that person.” The man said.

  “So that’s how it happened.” The lady nodded slightly. “The little Emperor has recently just ascended into the throne, so what is he do
ing here in my Thousand Beast City instead of enjoying himself back in the Fire Country?”

  “That….. your subordinate does not know.”

  The lady waved her hand to dismiss him and she turned to look at Lin Que kneeling upon the ground. Her gaze seemed thoughtful as Lin Que was feeling all jittery.

  “Forget it. It’s just a beast anyway. Since the Fire Country’s little Emperor likes it, take it as a greeting gift from me to him.”

  Hearing the Great Aunt say that, Lin Que heaved a silent sigh of relief in his heart.

  “Very soon, my birthday celebrations will be coming up. With such a rare opportunity that the Fire Country’s little Emperor also happens to be in the Thousand Beast City as well, have someone hand him an invitation at that time, to invite the little Emperor to join us with the festivities.”

  “Yes!” Lin Que said hurriedly.

  “In this matter, I will not pursue it further. You have afterall tried your best and spared no effort all these years. Your son’s life, will be spared for now. It’s also about time the next batch of people should be heading out to the Heaven’s End Cliff and you should know what to do.” The lady said, her gaze falling upon Lin Que. Although it was just a fleeting glance, but it was enough to make anyone feel oppressively stifled.

  Lin Que replied: “Your subordinate knows, and your subordinate will definitely carry it out properly. But….. but when your subordinate asked the Grand Chieftain to allocate men for the expedition previously, the Grand Chieftain had not seem too pleased about it.” As Lin Que spoke, he discreetly raised his head up slightly to observe the lady’s reaction.

  The lady said with a cold laugh: “His displeasure should be nothing new to you. Why should you bother how he feels about it?”

  “Yes….. yes. Everything will be carried out as Great Aunt wishes it to be. Your subordinate will spare no effort in getting it done.” Lin Que said.

  The lady then nodded in satisfaction.

  “You’re dismissed!”

  “Yes.” Lin Que recused himself and asked his men to put all the gifts down before leaving the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.

  “All of the rest of you are dismissed as well.” The lady waved her hand, dispersing all the good looking young men in the room.

  When she was the only person left on the top floor, the towering man who had left earlier came back up with two other men with him.

  “All that was said earlier, did you all hear it?” Qu Xin Rui asked, sitting up straight on the long lounge chair, looking at the three companions who had come to the Thousand Beast City with her.

  “We heard it clearly. The fact that you let Lin Que off so easily this time, was very unlike your personality. I had thought that you would have needed to tear his son into a million pieces before you will be appeased.” The man who had been highly respectful towards Qu Xin Rui earlier suddenly said with a laugh, and there wasn’t a trace of the same respectful tone in his voice that had been present earlier.

  Chapter 1017: “Heavenly Cloud Chambers (5)”

  Qu Xin Rui gave a cold laugh in response. After her spirit powers broke through to attain the Purple Spirit, she had left the place at the invitation by the Soul Return Palace of the Twelve Palaces and she had only come back here to the Thousand Beast City because she had an objective to achieve here.

  “Lin Que’s son is a useless piece of garbage, but Lin Que is still rather useful. If I had his son killed, I do not think he will continue to submit himself to work for us voluntarily. They will have to die in the end anyway, but for Lin Que, it will have to wait till he completes all the tasks I have set out for him to do before he dies.”

  “According to what you are saying, you are only intending to settle scores with him after Lin Que helps us to locate the Dark Emperor’s tomb?” One of the men asked, his eyebrow lifting slightly.

  Qu Xin Rui’s eyes narrowed and a cruel glint showed in her eyes.

  “Although the Devious Wyvern is not as vital as the Dark Emperor’s tomb, but it is still something of significant importance. That wastrel of a trash had actually in a fit of anger, caused me to lose the Devious Wyvern that had been within my grasp in vain. How could I let him go scot free so easily?”

  “Lin Que is rather loyal to you though. Even for something so difficult to find like the Devious Wyvern, Lin Que had still managed to find it for you. But a pity. If not for this accident, if you had brought the Devious Wyvern back to the palace, Xin Rui, you would have won yourself much credit.” The man said with a smile.

  Qu Xin Rui swept her gaze over to him, seemingly not affected by the man’s sarcasm in the least.

  “If you guys have so much time to be telling me all this, you should instead be looking at all this in another way. The Devious Wyvern might already be gone, but hadn’t they sent us something good in return?”

  “Something good? You mean the Guardian Grade Spirit Beast?”

  Qu Xin Rui shook her head. “Although a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast is rare, but it would not help us much towards our objective here. Instead, that little Emperor of the Fire Country would be more useful towards our needs. The Fire Country is the biggest country in the Lower Realm and regardless whether we are talking about the population of people or battle prowess, no other country in the Lower Realm can compare to them. If we can make the little Emperor obediently submit himself to us, we will then be able to mobilise the army he has on his hands to explore the Heaven’s End Cliff, and the results will naturally be something way beyond what one lone Thousand Beast City can hope to achieve.”

  “Little wonder you said to forget the matter, so you already had this thought in your mind then. I had thought that your temperament had changed today and you suddenly decided not to make things difficult for Lin Que, nor to pursue the matter any further with Jun Xie. Seems like when you asked for an invitation to be sent to the little Emperor, you had already thought to rope the boy in?” The man was well aware of the kind of malice Qu Xin Rui was capable of and he immediately understood what Qu Xin Rui was planning.

  Qu Xin Rui smiled slightly and said: “There aren’t too many things in the Lower Realm that is able to hold my attention and if they can be put to good use, then why not? If the little Emperor’s looks catches my eye, I will naturally not ill treat him as well.” As she spoke, the tip of Qu Xin Rui’s tongue lightly licked her red luscious lips.

  “It will be good if everything happens as you have planned.”

  “Whether it will happen, will depend on whether the little Emperor knows what’s good for him. In the next few days, Lin Que will be arranging for people to go to the Heaven’s End Cliff and see who among you three will be going with them. Even though no one from the Thousand Beast City will be able to come back alive, we shouldn’t waste all that effort for nothing and should at least dig up whatever information we can about the situation down there at the bottom.” Qu Xin Rui said to the men.

  “Alright.”

  After that, Qu Xin Rui waved her hand and said: “All of you are dismissed.”

  The three men exchanged looks between themselves and saw the sneer from being ridiculed in each other’s eyes but they chose not to speak of it. They pretended to show deference and walked down from the top floor of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.

  Very soon, the bunch of good looking young men who had been dismissed earlier rushed upstairs and quickly surrounded Qu Xin Rui once again, fawning all over her with shameless adulation.

  Qu Xin Rui immersed herself within, her eyes closed in enjoyment.

  Chapter 1018: “Victory without a Fight”

  As Lord Meh Meh had crushed the entire Spirit Beast Arena’s battle stage platform into rubble when it had revealed its true form, based on reason, it had been the first participant to have set foot outside the boundary of the battle platform. Hence, Lord Meh Meh was no longer holding the Spirit Beast Arena’s first rank. But as the Devious Wyvern who had “defeated” Lord Meh Meh had already
been swallowed up completely without a trace left behind, the second ranked in the Spirit Beast Arena had been promoted up to hold the top rank.

  That very afternoon, Jun Wu Xie brought Lord Meh Meh to the Spirit Beast Arena once again, and stated that they wanted to register for participation in the competition.

  However…..

  The person in charge of the Spirit Beast Arena had almost fallen to his knees before Jun Xie in plea.

  They had usually only had low grade Spirit Beasts being brought in to contest in the Spirit Beast Arena. Needless to even mention about Guardian Grade Spirit Beasts, even seeing a medium grade Spirit Beast appear in their contests was a rare sight by itself.

  With Lord Meh Meh being such an impossibly magnificent Guardian Grade Spirit Beast, was there even any meaning for it to come take part in their competition? Any Spirit Beast that was placed before Lord Meh Meh would not need Lord Meh Meh to even bleat a second time. The first sound it made would drive any of them into uncontrollable incontinence.

  Aside from the fact that the Spirit Beasts would not even dare to stand before Lord Meh Meh, even their owners who were people who were most keen to show off their skills in Spirit Beast Taming were all hiding their Spirit Beasts away from Lord Meh Meh, not a single one among them wanting to see their Spirit Beast toyed by Lord Meh Meh on stage.

  If that was allowed to continue on, how was the Spirit Beast Arena even going to continue its existence?

  With no other choice, the person in charge in the Spirit Beast Arena had straightaway absolved Lord Meh Meh of having to go through any battles, and immediately shoved a Spirit Tamer Bracelet straight into Jun Xie’s hand, quickly escorting the youth and beast out of the Spirit Beast Arena in a big hurry like he would the God of Calamity.

  Having a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast in their Spirit Beast Arena….. Not just merely this year, it was thought that even if they were to wait till next year, not a single participant would even dare show up here.
