Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 581 - 73: Cornered

Along the way, Donghuang Lingling remained silent, and the two walked until they reached a lake.

This lake looked particularly familiar to Yun Sheng, as if it was the last time she and Ye Beiming...

Thinking of Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng’s face unknowingly blushed; it had been quite a while since she had last seen Ye Beiming.

Ever since the last time she proposed calling off their engagement, Ye Huli seemed to have been quite upset.

Donghuang Lingling suddenly stopped: "Yun Sheng, I’ve been thinking, maybe I’m not cut out for learning Dark Magic, I’m thinking of giving up."

Yun Sheng’s train of thought was interrupted, and she suddenly realized that the predicament Donghuang Lingling was in was harder to escape from than she had imagined.

Donghuang Lingling is a very proud person.

In the past several trials, no matter how dull or tedious, she persevered. But this time, she couldn’t hold on any longer. It was also the first time she suggested giving up.

"Lingling, you’re just not used to it," Yun Sheng urged.

"I’m not you, I haven’t always been as strong as you. I also don’t have much talent, if it wasn’t for your Magic Potion, I would probably have been eliminated. Persisting any longer, elimination is just a matter of time," said Donghuang Lingling, with a sad smile on her face.

"Yun Sheng, I must tell you, I don’t like slaughter, I even disdain it. My father, the Emperor, was assassinated, and my Chief Maid died protecting me. So, this training, for me, is very hard, I give up," Donghuang Lingling lowered her head, tears swirling in her eyes.

After all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl.

Yun Sheng is her true friend, and she didn’t mind showing her true self in front of Yun Sheng.

"Lingling..." Yun Sheng wanted to say more but the disturbance nearby sharply drew her attention.

By the lake, more than a dozen female Mages and Martial Artists appeared.

They slowly approached, glaring menacingly at Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

Not good, Yun Sheng glanced behind, and there was a lake.

Just now, with Donghuang Lingling feeling down, she was only paying attention to her and didn’t notice that they were being followed.

The dozen female Mages looked fierce and unfriendly.

These were the same female Mages who had previously shadowed Yun Sheng and others. They obtained Yun Sheng and others’ daily routines from Ke Ling, had been trailing them all along, initially planning to ambush the two and teach them a lesson.

Little did they know Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had been busy training recently, thus their daily routines were disrupted, and they had not been successfully ambushed yet.

Today, however, they were negligent and got caught by these people.

Where there are good people, there are also bad ones. Yun Sheng frowned and hid Donghuang Lingling behind her.

Her gaze swiftly shuttled between the dozen people.

Among these female Mages, some were newcomers, but most were veterans, and three or four of them had the cultivation level of a Middle-level Holy Mage.

If it came to a fight, especially if they swarmed, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling probably couldn’t handle it.

"Ladies, why are you tailing us? We seem not to have offended you," Yun Sheng, knowing that a direct confrontation would not be favorable, quickly scanned her surroundings, secretly contemplating the possibility of escaping.

"Shameless sluts, still daring to say you’ve not offended us. You seduced Brother Qi," the dozen female Mages said as they saw Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling surrounded, their faces showing even more ruthlessness.

With no one around, they became more audacious.

This area was seldom frequented by others, so even if they did something to the two, it would be unnoticed.

They had been following them for two months, but it was not easy to finally seize this opportunity.

The recent meeting between Yun Sheng and Qi further confirmed what Ke Ling had said, making these female Mages even more jealous.

They were just a group of crazy, infatuated Mages.

Yun Sheng gritted her teeth in frustration, feeling that being friendly also brought disaster, she was really being wronged.

"Dear senior sisters, you might have misunderstood. Brother Qi and I are just from the same hometown, both from Great Zhou City," Yun Sheng said as she conjured several needles in her hand, ready to strike immediately if the female mages approached.

"Fellow townsfolk? Hmph, you seem to have quite a few townsfolk. Then how do you explain Senior Brother Ye!" the trainees, resembling female warriors, looked viciously as if they wanted to tear Yun Sheng apart.

Yun Sheng’s dark eyes grew cold.

Her relationship with Ye Beiming was known by very few within the Mainland Elite Camp.

Chen Lianlian, who had feelings for Ye Beiming, would certainly not speak about it, and neither would Gu Feng and Qi Ye.

That left only Ke Ling who could have divulged it.

She had once witnessed Ye Beiming coming to find her.

Moreover, how would these new and old trainees know about the time and route she took when she went out with Donghuang Lingling?

It had to be Ke Ling stirring up trouble again.

"Lingling, they outnumber us. You should run and find the Master," Yun Sheng quietly said to Donghuang Lingling.

Donghuang Lingling hesitated.

Their current situation was exactly like it was six years ago when they encountered the Wanted Magical Beast.

Back then, Yun Sheng also told her to escape.

No sooner had Yun Sheng finished speaking than she crouched down swiftly like a nimble leopard, launching the bone needles she held.

Flashes of silver glinted as the bone needles silently whistled through the air, striking towards the group of female warriors.

Yun Sheng understood well that in a contest involving martial artists, mages were most wary of warriors.

Immediately after, Yun Sheng’s mind flickered, and several Fire Flame Bursts shattered the air.

Fast! Very fast!

The group of new and old female mages who had come to attack Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling today had come with the certainty of victory.

After all, they had carefully investigated Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling, both of whom were only Magic Masters, among whom one had later advanced to Holy Mage, but both had not yet truly mastered Advanced Magic.

But unexpectedly, the opponent hadn’t even started chanting before suddenly launching several Fire Flame Bursts.

In just a breath’s time, several warriors suddenly screamed in agony, covering their eyes, which were now bloody from the needles.

Although Yun Sheng was fast, the number of opponents was ultimately much larger.

Several Wind Mages also reacted quickly, chanting rapidly to bolster their comrades with Wind Magic.

Several Earth Mages also started their defensive chanting immediately.

"Catch those two little sluts!"

Donghuang Lingling only heard a chaotic noise. Her eyes, which initially held a hint of shrinking, slowly began to focus.

Her initial uncertainty and retreat gradually faded away.

"Yun Sheng, I’ll help you!" Donghuang Lingling didn’t shrink back, she suddenly found that feeling, the same feeling as before, of fighting side by side with Yun Sheng.

This time, she would not retreat.

Yun Sheng heard Donghuang Lingling’s voice, her heart filled with joy; she understood, whether they succeeded in breaking out this time or not, the shadow that had troubled Donghuang Lingling’s mind for many days had been dispelled.
