Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 11

by North Night (夜北)

  Towards a certain demon lord’s actions of crazed lunacy, the little black cat found that it could not bear to watch any further!

  That demon lord’s taste buds must have been spoilt and overly indulged by Ye Sha and Ye Mei!

  The pair’s culinary skills were superb and there could be no qualms about that. But….. come on! That didn’t mean that any random personal aide in this world one dragged out could become an emissary of the God of Cookery!

  Jun Wu Xie was still stunned and Jun Wu Yao reached his hand over to take the spoon from her hand to carelessly toss out the window…..

  “Wait just awhile more, before you eat.” Jun Wu Yao said with a smile.

  Jun Wu Xie was speechless as she saw her last mouthful of porridge being thrown out together with the spoon. At that moment, her stomach growled fittingly with how she was feeling, seemingly protesting against Jun Wu Yao’s “absolute tyranny”.

  “I did not think that they tasted bad.” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Jun Wu Yao. Great taste to her was not something she pursued, but as long as the food could ensured her body could function and provide sufficient calories, all other aspects did not make much of a difference to her.

  “Why make yourself suffer?” Jun Wu Yao asked with a smile.

  “…..” She did not think she was suffering at all!

  Ye Sha and Ye Mei threw the entire table full of food in the kitchen of the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall. When the workers in the kitchen saw the two towering figures suddenly appear in their kitchen, their faces were filled with shocked and before they could even react, they were all thrown out of the kitchen by Ye Sha and Ye Mei.

  The workers immediately flew and charged to Xiong Ba, in tearful complaint.

  Xiong Ba’s hand was still throbbing in pain and when he heard that two overbearing men had taken over their kitchen in the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, a twitch began to pull at his mouth.

  “Clan Chief! Are you really not going to bother with it?” Qing Yu asked, staring at Xiong Ba’s fully darkened face.

  Xiong Ba raised his splintered hand still wearing a cast and waved it right before Qing Yu’s eyes.

  “I have to be able to do anything about it in the first place!”

  Chapter 1067: “You’re Kidding (2)”

  Ye Sha and Ye Mei sent in the food very quickly into Jun Wu Xie’s room. Compared to that pair’s culinary skills, the food brought in earlier from the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall’s kitchen could really only be described as totally unpalatable.

  Finally being able to eat, Jun Wu Xie did not say a single word.

  Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie’s profile as she enjoyed the feast and even before picking up his chopsticks, he already felt full.

  Before they had even finished the meal, a knock sounded on Jun Wu Xie’s door and Jun Wu Yao got up to open the door.

  Qing Yu who was standing outside, had upon seeing Jun Wu Yao’s attractive looking face which had a smile plastered upon it, immediately shivered involuntarily.

  “Is anything the matter?” Jun Wu Yao’s face was smiling, but the gaze from that pair of eyes seemed to be telling Qing Yu, [Report if there’s something, scram if nothing.]

  Qing Yu gulped noisily and said: “People from the Heavenly Cloud Chambers are here, saying they would like to invite Jun Xie to go over for dinner.”

  Qing Yu’s voice had barely dropped when Jun Wu Yao’s eyes suddenly flashed brightly with intense murder!

  The murderous aura caused Qing Yu to instantly hold his breath, and his face immediately turned white.

  From inside the room, Jun Wu Xie had heard Qing Yu’s words clearly. The words “Heavenly Cloud Chambers” had completely ruined her appetite.

  ‘“I refuse.” Jun Wu Xie said coldly. She didn’t feel like seeing Qu Xin Rui in the slightest at that moment.

  “Heard that?” Jun Wu Yao said, looking at Qing Yu with an eyebrow raised. Qing Yu immediately nodded his head and did not dare protest in the least as he ran away as if in escape.

  Jun Wu Yao closed the door shut and looked at Jun Wu Xie who had lost her appetite.

  “Dumb Qiao and the others have not sent back news which should mean they are already on their tail. It won’t be much longer before they will find out where those people have been imprisoned and there is no need for me to go deal with Qu Xin Rui now.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly, as if she was explaining to Jun Wu Yao why she had suddenly refused Qu Xin Rui’s invitation.

  “Don’t go if you don’t want to. Looking at that face will only spoil your appetite. You should rather look at me, it will make the food go down easier.” Jun Wu Yao said smilingly, the flash of murder in his eyes earlier seemingly just an illusion.

  Jun Wu Xie glanced at Jun Wu Yao and then silently lowered her head to continue eating.

  Outside the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, Shen Chi’s face was smiling as he waited to escort Jun Xie to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. But after waiting for a while, he saw only Qing Yu coming out from the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall alone.

  “Apologies, Young Master Jun just had his dinner and I’m afraid he would not be able to dine with the Great Aunt today.” Qing Yu said regretfully as he looked at Shen Chi.

  The smile on Shen Chi’s face immediately turned into one of displeasure as he looked inside the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall and the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer. “Since that is the case, I shall then be making my way back.”

  “I’ll see you out.” Qing Yu said politely.

  Shen Chi turned around and left before Qing Yu heaved a sigh of relief, but a growing worry rose within his heart at the same time. Shen Chi’s expression had not been pretty when he left just now and if even Shen Chi had such a reaction, he wondered when Jun Xie’s refusal reached Qu Xin Rui’s ears, what kind of consequences would that bring about.

  In the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, Shen Chen told the news that Jun Wu would not be coming to Qu Xin Rui and sitting at her dressing table as she enjoyed the favoured men combing out her hair, Qu Xin Rui’s facial expression immediately turned gloomy.

  “She’s not coming?”

  “Right.” Shen Chen replied.

  Qu Xin Rui snorted in disdain and the aura around her body turned highly dangerous. Standing right behind her, the favoured man’s hand trembled and broke one strand of Qu Xin Rui’s hair by mistake.

  Qu Xin Rui immediately shot to her feet and kicked that favoured man onto the ground.

  “Useless trash!”

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1068: “Venomous Woman (1)”

  The favoured man clutched at his abdomen with his face turned pale as he fell to the ground, but he did not dare to even let out a single groan despite the pain and just hurried to kneel down pleading for mercy.

  “Great Aunt, it’s my mistake. I beg for Great Aunt to spare my life.”

  Qu Xin Rui’s face was grave as she stared at the man. The silk scarf that had been looped around her wrist had fallen slowly to the ground and over the smooth and fair skin of her arm, a patch of crinkled and old looking skin had suddenly appeared. Initially, that had only showed somewhere around her wrist but it had now spread up higher her arm. If one was to only look at that joint on her arm, anyone would think the arm to have belonged to an elderly old lady, highly advanced in age.

  “Guards, take him away from here.” Qu Xin Rui said coldly.

  The favoured man pleaded continuously but he was forcibly dragged out by the guards of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.

  Qu Xin Rui put down her arm, but the expression on her face was still looking concerned.

  Shen Chi’s gaze fell upon the patch of old and wrinkly skin on Qu Xin Rui’s arm, and his brows lifted up slightly.

  “The speed you are aging at seems to be get faster and faster.”

  Qu Xin Rui was startled and she lowered her gaze to look at the arm exposed to Shen Chi’s gaze. Her face froze and she immediately pulled her sleeve over it, to cover her arm.

  “Damn it. What is
really happening? I have been using that for the last few days and why is it still like this?” Qu Xin Rui said as her face creased up in a frown, her expression looking highly irritable. Usually after using that, she would regain back her youth but this time, for some reason, there had been no effect.

  “This situation actually started from the day of the birthday banquet. Did Qu Ling Yue enter the Heavenly Cloud Chambers that day?” Qu Xin Rui asked.

  Shen Chi shook his head. “That thing cannot get close to any other female besides you, so how would we allow Qu Ling Yue to come in here? She just did the same thing as she had done in previous years, kowtowing outside the doors and leaving after that.”

  “In future, don’t even let her kowtow at the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.” Qu Xin Rui said, and after a pause, she continued: “If she needs to offer her well wishes, doing it at the other end of the street will do.”

  “And, that thing who didn’t know who he offended, just have him sacrificed. Maybe too little spirits have been offered up in sacrifice recently and that thing’s powers have decreased.” Qu Xin Rui’s tone sounded slightly flustered. Now, it was just her arm that had showed signs of aging, but if this continued on, she didn’t know if the situation would spread throughout her body. If she were to be faced with all that wrinkled up skin, she would not be able to bear it.

  “I sacrificed so much before I was able to achieve such youthful beauty. I will never let anyone destroy it.”

  “If you want to offer a sacrifice, I’m afraid one person alone might not be enough.” Shen Chi naturally knew what Qu Xin Rui was referring to.

  Qu Xin Rui then said: “Just pick out a few more out from the men. You just decide on it your own.”

  The men Qu Xin Rui was referring to were those favoured men living in the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. Every month, Qu Xin Rui would pick out several youthful and good looking men from the Thousand Beast City to come into the Heavenly Cloud Chambers to serve her, but the number of favoured men in the Heavenly Cloud Chambers had not grown to become too big a number and from among all those favoured men who were admitted into the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, not a single one had left from the place.

  Without the explicit permission from Qu Xin Rui, no one was allowed to enter the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and were not allowed to come into any contact with the favoured men of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. Hence, no one outside had the slightest idea what really happened to the men who were admitted into the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.

  “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements in a moment.” Shen Chi said, and his eyes then flashed with a malicious glint.

  “One more thing. How do you intend to deal with the matter with Jun Xie? From the way I see it, he does not seem too willing to accept your suggestion.” Shen Chi said with a smile on his face, as he looked at Qu Xin Rui.

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1069: “Venomous Woman (2)”

  Qu Xin Rui had repeatedly extended her invitation for Jun Xie to come to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and Jun Xie had accepted them the first few times. But in regards to Qu Xin Rui’s request for them to collaborate and work together, Jun Xie had not given any indication of a positive reply but had instead dragged it out time and time again. And this time, Jun Xie had just outright refused to come to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers. Such an attitude did not seem to be telling Qu Xin Rui that Jun Xie was willing to cooperate with her.

  “Seems like your beauty had not been able to move the little Emperor at all and he had even given you such a superfluous reason to reject the invitation. If my guess is correct, I’m afraid he will not be coming here to see you anymore.” Shen Chi said.

  Qu Xin Rui clenched her jaw tightly. It wasn’t that she had been oblivious of Jun Xie’s perfunctory responses, but it was just that she had not expected even after she had employed all her charms, there could actually be a male that could still remain so calm, who had not only not been mesmerized, but had even been able to completely disregard her allure!

  This was the point, against the high regard and absolute confidence Qu Xin Rui had towards her own beauty, took to be the most serious humiliation.

  “Since he refused the politely proffered wine, he will now then be given the wine as punishment.” Qu Xin Rui said with derision in her voice.

  Shen Chi looked at Qu Xin Rui’s darkened expression and went on to remind her to say: “People on the Lower Realm are weak and powerless. To make Jun Xie submit wouldn’t be a difficult task at all. But you must think clearly on one point. He is still the Emperor of the Fire Country and if you really come to inflict any harm upon him, it will not be easy to answer to the people in the Fire Country. The strength behind the Fire Country is of utmost importance to us and if we can convince the Fire Country to mobilise their troops to go down to the Heaven’s End Cliff, then our exploration of the Heaven’s End Cliff will definitely be much faster than anything we will be able to achieve with the Thousand Beast City.”

  With just that puny little youth, it was deemed to be beneath Shen Chi to pay him any attention. What really caught his attention was the might of the Fire Country behind Jun Xie!

  The biggest country of the Lower Realm, their military might an inestimable number.

  “I do not believe that anyone under the Heavens can resist gaining everlasting youth and eternal life! He had refused it so decisively and did not seem too interested in gaining the power of the Purple Spirit. Don’t tell me….. other Palaces have already come into contact with him?” Qu Xin Rui was startled by her own sudden realization. There were seven among the Twelve Palaces who held a portion of the Dark Emperor’s tomb in their hands and besides the Soul Return Palace, the other palaces who held the maps must also be up to something.

  The Fire Country might not be even worth mentioning in the Middle Realm, but as a sacrificial lamb, they would be the best choice in the Lower Realm.

  Shen Chi had considered the same worry that Qu Xin Rui had, but he quickly shook his head.

  “If it is said that other palaces wanted to make use of the Fire Country, I will not be surprised in the least. But Jun Xie was not from the legitimate and reigning Imperial Family in the Fire Country. He had suddenly taken over the Fire Country’s throne and the other palaces are not doing it like we are doing here to remain permanently in the Lower Realm. Jun Xie had not ascended to the Fire Country’s throne for long and the previous ruler was forced to abdicate, so how could he give up his throne willingly? Even if people from the other palaces have contacted the Fire Country’s Emperor, it will not be with this little Emperor who had just ascended into the throne, but the previous Emperor, and he surely would not be willing to hand over the benefits the people of the Twelve Palaces were providing to them so readily.” Shen Chi said and then paused before he went on.

  “What we need to do now is, before any of the other palaces comes into contact with Jun Xie, pull him over to join our camp, and make the Fire Country in her hands work for us. As long as he still remains in the Thousand Beast City, we will stand a better chance than any of the other palaces.”

  Judging from the timing, Jun Xie would seem to have made his way to the Thousand Beast City on the same day almost immediately after his ascension to the throne. Shen Chi was confident that even if the other palaces have received the news, they would definitely not have enough time to discuss about cooperating with the little Emperor who had just ascended into the throne!

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1070: “Venomous Woman (3)”

  “But he is unwilling to cooperate with us now.” Qu Xin Rui said in a fluster as she bit on her nails. “Jun Xie isn’t Qu Wen Hao and the might of the Fire Country is highly powerful in the Lower Realm. I had heard that the Empress Dowager of the Fire Country holds a group of secret assassins and it seems that their powers are not too far off from the Purple Spirit. When Jun Xie ascended into the throne, the Empress Dowager had been highly supportive and if we are to try to control the Fire Country with the same method we use to control the Thousand
Beast City, we stand to meet with failure. Jun Xie came from the Zephyr Academy and I have sent people to look into detailed information about her, but they had not been able to find out anything about her birth, which renders us unable to use her family members to hold her hostage. Even if we succeed in controlling Jun Xie, whether the Fire Country will be willing submit to us for their new little Emperor will be another question as the Fire Country still has an Empress Dowager holding the fort. If that old witch decides to abandon Jun Xie and push another Emperor onto the throne, then we’ll stand to gain nothing from it at all.”

  Qu Xin Rui was feeling highly frustrated as she was finding it rather hard to deal with Jun Xie’s refusal.

  Without a handhold to use as blackmail against him, they were unable to ascertain if they would be able to use Jun Xie to force the Fire Country to submit to them. It would not be that easy to take on the biggest country in the Lower Realm but at the same time, it was a big fatty piece of meat that they were reluctant to let go of.

  Shen Chi fell deep in thought. How to force Jun Xie to submit to them was the most impertinent question they needed an answer to.

  Suddenly, Qu Xin Rui seemed to have thought of something and she opened her mouth to say: “Maybe Jun Xie isn’t really without any weakness that we can exploit.”

  “Oh? Have you really thought of a plan?” Shen Chi asked with an eyebrow raised.

  Qu Xin Rui’s lips curled up to smile sinisterly as her gaze turned alluringly to Shen Chi to say: “Didn’t Lin Que tell me before, that the Devious Wyvern of mine was swallowed up by Jun Xie’s Spirit Beast?”

  “To be able to swallow up the Devious Wyvern, it must be a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast. Don’t tell me you are going to target his Spirit Beast?” Shen Chi asked.

  Qu Xin Rui laughed aloud. “Why not? Not everybody is able to own a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast and a fully tame one at that. Having come so far away from the Fire Country but he still brought the Spirit Beast to keep by his side, the bond between him and that Spirit Beast must be very strong. To make a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast submit to you, it is impossible if one did not pay an equivalent price. Even though Jun Xie has a very cold and indifferent personality, but I am somewhat inclined to believe that he treasures that Guardian Grade Spirit Beast quite a lot. Since I am unable to locate her family members, just maybe, that Guardian Grade Spirit Beast will be able to give us the help we need.”
