Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 11

by North Night (夜北)

  Under Ye Sha guidance, Qiao Chu and Hua Yao came to the inn that Jun Wu Xie was staying at.

  When Qiao Chu pushed the door open to enter, his face was still slightly tinged with resentment against the Thousand Beast City’s betrayal. And as the door opened and he saw the person inside the room, he was completely stunned.

  Jun Wu Yao sat gracefully upon a chair by the window, the moonlight spilling over his body that streamed in through the window. He was supporting his chin in one hand as he watched Jun Wu Xie at the side, a faint smile playing across his lips, a sight so beautiful it looked as if it was from a painting.

  The moment Qiao Chu saw Jun Wu Yao, his mind went completely blank.

  “Big….. Big Brother Wu Yao…..”

  Jun Wu Yao lifted his head slightly to look at Qiao Chu and Hua Yao at the door and smiled at them.

  “You’re back already.” Qiao Chu said, scratching at his head. He had not thought that he would see Jun Wu Yao here. He had been worried that Jun Wu Xie would be suffering after the matter with the Thousand Beast City, but at the moment he saw Jun Wu Yao, he immediately felt relieved.

  With Jun Wu Yao here, he will not allow Jun Wu Xie to suffer any injustice.

  “That’s right.” Jun Wu Yao said with a smile.

  Hua Yao glanced at Qiao Chu who was standing at the door gaping stupidly and he raised a foot to kick Qiao Chu inside.

  Almost having fallen onto the ground, Qiao Chu turned his head towards Hua Yao with an aggrieved look but Hua Yao was too stingy to even spare him a glance out of the corner of his eyes and had turned to Jun Wu Xie instead.

  “What actually happened?” Hua Yao asked, his brows creasing up together.

  Jun Wu Xie looked up and asked nonchalantly: “You guys went to the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall?”

  “Yes.” Hua Yao nodded.

  “The you should already know what has happened.” Jun Wu Xie had not gone to the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall again since that day but she still remembered what she said to Qiao Chu and the others previously. Once Qiao Chu and the others found out the exact location that those people have been imprisoned, they were to immediately make their way to the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall to tell her the news. Hence Jun Wu Xie had asked Ye Sha to keep a lookout at the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall and once he saw Qiao Chu and Hua Yao coming out from the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, he had led them straight here.

  The expression on Qiao Chu’s face when he had pushed to door in to enter had already given Jun Wu Xie enough hints to the information.

  To have been able to make Qiao Chu so resentful, Xiong Ba and his people must have already revealed to him all that had happened previously.

  “The Thousand Beast City are an absolute disgrace! If we had known earlier, we shouldn’t have agreed to their request in the first place and leave them to meet their own demise.” When Qiao Chu recalled what he had heard earlier, the ball of fiery rage within immediately reignited to burn strongly.

  Jun Wu Xie had never been one who liked to meddle into the affairs of others. Although her personality was rather cold, but she would never initiate any provocation against others. As long as people do not poke at her inverted scale, she seldom struck viciously. This matter regarding the Thousand Beast City, had been initiated by Xiong Ba and the others themselves, and now that they were bitten by their betrayal, not even a saint could be expected to tolerate such two faced treachery!

  Jun Wu Xie looked calmly at the seething Qiao Chu, whose eyes had turned calm.

  Hua Yao gaze swept across the room and he was silent a moment before he asked: “Where is Lord Meh Meh?”

  Hua Yao’s words caused Qiao Chu to be taken aback in surprise. When they were at the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, Xiong Ba had said that Qu Xin Rui had her eye on Jun Wu Xie’s Spirit Beast but they had thought that with Jun Wu Xie’s resourcefulness, she would never let that happen. But now that they did not see any signs of Lord Meh Meh within the room, Qiao Chu’s heart dropped with a thud.

  Jun Wu Xie raised her head to look at the bright moon outside the window, her voice calm as she said: “In Qu Xin Rui’s hands.”

  Qiao Chu’s eyes widened in shock, his face filled with incredulity, unable to believe his own ears.

  Chapter 1096: “The Show is About to Start (1)”

  Jun Wu Xie was calm as she looked at Qiao Chu’s shocked expression.

  “Damn it….. We will now just go and torment that old witch to death!” Qiao Chu said, rubbing his fists, all ready to stir up a big storm. If they had known that Jun Wu Xie would be put through all these in the Thousand Beast City, they wouldn’t have let Jun Wu Xie come here alone even if you beat them to death.

  “No rush.” Jun Wu Xie said, shaking her head. She turned to Hua Yao at the side and said: “Have you guys managed to find out where those people have been imprisoned?”

  Hua Yao nodded. “The place they have been imprisoned is not too far away. It is an underground dungeon and the people guarding the place are not exceptionally powerful. But as most of the prisoners are weak and helpless ladies, so they were not able to resist against the guards much.”

  The guards that Qu Xin Rui sent there were not too wary and alert, and it was thought that it might have been because this had gone on for many a number of years and they have never encountered anyone who dared to resist them, which made them complacent and relaxed their guard.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  Qiao Chu’s eyes widened. “That scoundrel of a Grand Chieftain had already done something so treacherous and you are still thinking of helping him to save his people? Have you gone mad?”

  Qiao Chu was of the thinking that after Qu Wen Hao had committed such a blunder, the fact that Jun Wu Xie had not killed him was already being very merciful, and continuing to help him save those abducted ladies who were from the Thousand Beast City was something completely unthinkable.

  “I’m doing this not for the sake of the Thousand Beast City.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly. “I would naturally have my own reasons for doing this.”

  The cooperation with the Thousand Beast City had already been terminated and all that she was doing now was only for the sake of getting the map as soon as possible.

  “The plan has already come to this stage. Regardless of what Qu Wen Hao and his people wants to do, I will not discontinue with my plan. Since we are unable to continue with the cooperation, then I will just let them move according to my plan.” Jun Wu Xie said, her eyes narrowing up.

  Qiao Chu was rather astounded and he asked: “What do you intend to do?”

  Jun Wu Xie answered: “Get the map, take back Lord Meh Meh, and send Qu Xin Rui….. on her way to Hell.”

  “Where are Fei Yan and the others now?” Jun Wu Xie then asked.

  “Keeping watch at the place, in case anything unexpected happens.” Hua Yao said.

  “Tell them to act as soon as possible. I want to push Qu Xin Rui over into the abyss little by little.” Jun Wu Xie said with a chilling smile. She had initially only seeked to get the map. But as Qu Xin Rui had chosen to take Lord Meh Meh, she wasn’t about to be nice about it.

  “Alright!”

  After some discussion, Jun Wu Xie asked Hua Yao and Qiao Chu to first go get some rest but because of what happened within the Thousand Beast City, the two of them refused to rest and took advantage of the cover of night to slip out of the city, to bring the news to their other companions.

  Watching the night sky, Jun Wu Xie stared at the darkness that enveloped the Thousand Beast City, her eyes chilled with an icy glint.

  …..

  At the beginning of the month, a new batch of hostages from the Thousand Beast City was sent back into the city to be reunited with their family. Bright and early, the people were already gathered at the gates of the Thousand Beast City, watching in anticipation to see whether their family members were among those who returned this time.

  In the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, Qu Xin Rui was highly agitated as she sat in front of her dress
ing table. The transformation had spread to her entire right arm and the originally smooth and fair skin had now been replaced with one that was old, aged and wrinkled. The affliction had only been about the size of a palm previously and it had now spread throughout her entire arm, slowly going towards her shoulder.

  “What is really happening? Shen Chi! Haven’t you already completed the sacrifice? Why do I not feel anything at all?” Qu Xin Rui asked in exasperation as she threw the bronze mirror onto the floor.

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1097: “The Show is About to Start (2)”

  Seeing the traces left from the passage of time showing up and becoming more and more obvious upon her skin, Qu Xin Rui was getting more and more agitated. The predicament one was cornered into by the changes that came with time’s passing, was one thing she did not want to experience again.

  Shen Chi’s brows creased together slightly and said: “I have completed the offering and its power has been fully restored. Why are you still afflicted with this condition?”

  According to reason, Qu Xin Rui should now be able to retain her youthful looks that would not fade. But for some unknown reason, ever since the birthday banquet, the speed of her body’s aging had suddenly been highly accelerated, making it seem as if that the young and youthful skin on her body was slowly being peeled off bit by bit.

  “You are sure that having that slut Qu Ling Yue locked up within the dungeon will not affect me in any way?” Qu Xin Rui asked.

  Shen Chi shook his head.

  “The underground dungeon and the Heavenly Cloud Chambers are not linked directly, so that should not affect you at all.”

  Qu Xin Rui gritted her teeth and said: “Once the matter with the Fire Country is confirmed, I will be making a trip back, to ask the Elder to help me see what is happening. I have not gone back for many years and could it be that the effects from that thing is losing its efficacy on me…..”

  Shen Chi said: “Maybe, but it has already been quite a few days and Jun Xie still has not appeared. Are you really confident that he will accept your terms for the sake of one Spirit Beast?” Upon saying that, Shen Chi’s gaze fell upon the figure of Lord Meh Meh at the side.

  Ever since that day when Lord Meh Meh had come to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, it had just quietly laid at that spot. Not eating nor drinking, and not making a single sound. If not for the aura still emanating from the beast, one would really think that it had fallen into a deep sleep.

  Qu Xin Rui had firmly believed that with Lord Meh Meh in their hands, they would be able to force Jun Xie to submit. But they have waited a few days and they had still not seen any sign of Jun Xie, which inadvertently caused her to develop a sense of unease.

  “Wait a while more….. If he still doesn’t appear, I will come up with another plan.”

  Shen Chi shrugged and did not say anything more.

  Very soon, a guard of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers came running over.

  Qu Xin Rui was already in a foul mood and when she saw the flustered guard, she asked with a frown on her face: “Why are you being so flustered? Don’t tell me you saw a ghost.”

  The guard started to stammer: “Reporting to Great Aunt. Today….. The batch of people have been sent back…..”

  Qu Xin Rui’s lips stiffened and she said impatiently: “So what if they have been sent back. Let those fools be happy for a few days and when the end of the month comes, just send them out again. What is there to be so flustered about?”

  The monthly exchange of hostages had never been a thing she cared about.

  But the guard continued to stammer: “But….. but…..”

  …..

  Inside the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, Xiong Ba was suffering from a splitting headache as he sat in his room. He had consecutively drunk himself into unconsciousness the past few days and he was finding himself unable to differentiate between reality and his dreams. Everything before his eyes seemed to be moving which brought about bouts of nausea.

  The disciple who came in with hangover tea just set it down and did not dare say anything but just threw Xiong Ba a worried glance before retreating out from the room.

  These days, the atmosphere within the entire Fiery Blaze Clan Hall had become extremely strange and although no one dared to bring up the incident that happened on that day, that incident had been burned and branded into their hearts, an indelible memory. Although the disciples did not know everything about the matter, but from the conversation between Jun Xie and Qu Wen Hao that day, they were able to roughly feel something from it.

  They, the Thousand Beast City, must have done something that let Young Master Jun down greatly…..

  “Clan Chief!” Qing Yu was panicky and highly flustered as he came rushing into Xiong Ba’s room.

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1098: “The Show is About to Start (3)”

  Xiong Ba held his head in agony as he looked at Qing Yu. “What’s wrong?”

  “Go quickly to the city’s gates and see!” Qing Yu said as he stepped forward to pull Xiong Ba up. Xiong Ba was still feeling rather woozy and when Qing Yu dragged him to his feet, his steps were rather unsteady.

  At the Thousand Beast City’s gates, the mass of people congregated there had fully filled several of the main streets. Qing Yu dragged Xiong Ba along as they squeezed past the crowd and when they reached the front of crowd of people, what he saw before him made his eyes widen up in shock!

  Outside the city’s gates, thousands of womenfolk were gathered there. Their eyes brimming with tears, their figures thinned and frail looking, as they held their hands together nervously before their chests.

  The Thousand Beast City had more than a thousand of their people in total abducted by Qu Xin Rui, and they were standing right before their eyes!

  Xiong Ba’s mind exploded with that realisation!

  All those people who had been captured by Qu Xin Rui had actually returned!

  That was just something outright impossible!

  Those women who have been separated for so long with their families were all crying at the same time, shrouding the Thousand Beast City in a sorrow that made people’s hearts wince to hear.

  Many people have upon hearing the news rushed to the scene and saw their wives and mothers. They could not be bothered with anything else and just rushed forward to wrap their loved ones into their arms.

  The Thousand Beast City’s gate broke out in a clamour of wails and sobs, the people weeping in tight embrace not even able to ponder upon what was really happening.

  Qu Xin Rui would bring a batch of people back every month but the numbers were always few. But this time, all the people she had abducted have been released and that had been highly shocking to everyone!

  Xiong Ba stared with his eyes widened, and looking at the womenfolk who have returned, his mind was a complete blank.

  Qu Xin Rui would never be so kind, to release everybody all at once.

  And behind all the highly emotional women, at the foot of the city wall, Xiong Ba suddenly spotted a familiar figure. He recognized it to be Qiao Chu who had just come rushing back to the Thousand Beast City several days ago!

  “It’s Jun Xie….. Jun Xie rescued all of them…..” Like a bolt of lightning had struck him, Xiong Ba fell back in a stagger as Qing Yu rushed to hold him up, his eyes filled with the same shame and guilt.

  The return of all their womenfolk, was definitely not due to Qu Xin Rui being merciful. When Qiao Chu and Hua Yao had come to them a few days ago, telling them that they had found the location where their people have been imprisoned, Xiong Ba and Qing Yu had wanted so much to ask them for the exact location, but were too ashamed to open their mouths then. They had then thought that Jun Xie had totally abandoned them after that and would not help them any further.

  But today, they were looking at all these people returned to them.

  Xiong Ba and Qing Yu immediately felt their faces begin to burn with a stinging pain!

  Jun Xie had still saved all thes
e people held hostage. Even after they had betrayed the youth, he had not let the rage in his heart implicate these innocent hostages.

  The return of the hostages had inadvertently delivered one tight slap onto Xiong Ba and his people. The deep shame and the prick to their conscience made them suddenly find it hard to breathe.

  Compared to Jun Xie, they were all just a bunch of ungrateful beasts!

  Standing within the joyous and highly emotional atmosphere surrounding them, Xiong Ba and Qing Yu hung their heads in shame. They had noticed, among the crowd, a flustered Qu Wen Hao was staring blankly at everything before him…..

  Qu Wen Hao’s gaze was lifeless, his originally dashing looks had seemingly aged more than ten years over the past few days. His shoulders were trembling slightly, like he was trying to hold back the emotions he held suppressed within.

  Other people in the Thousand Beast City were not aware of the reason why their family members were able to return safely.

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1099: “Face Slap – Eleventh Form (1)”

  But for Xiong Ba, Qing Yu and Qu Wen Hao, it couldn’t have been more clear. The return of their people, was all due to the credit of the youth they had all betrayed.

  Endless guilt and shame coupled with self admonishment wrecked at their hearts, like an enormous rock that crushed upon them, making it hard for them to breathe.

  Qu Wen Hao was in a daze, the past few days a fuzzy memory to him like he had been living in a dream. He walked staggeringly, searching anxiously among the women who had returned, yearning to see that one familiar figure that he had missed and had always been on his mind for so many years.

  But as his gaze swept over the crowd of people again and again, he still did not see his wife…..

  “Did anyone….. anyone see my wife…..” Terror and unease swam within Qu Wen Hao’s heart, as he stood helplessly among the crowd swimming around him, his voice all choked up.
