Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1184 - 244: The Boss’s Boss?

A chill ran down her body, an icy sensation engulfed her; Ye Lingyue wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but her face started to itch.

She opened her eyes and saw a face so beautiful it didn’t seem mortal, with peach blossom eyes staring intently at her as if afraid she would vanish if he blinked.

This face, why does it look so familiar?

Ye Lingyue was startled, she instinctively raised her hand, aimed at Bo Qing’s cheek, and pinched hard...

"Hey, hey, not so hard, it hurts."

Bo Qing’s skin was even more delicate than a woman’s, and as soon as Ye Lingyue pinched it, he screamed out.

"So it actually hurts, so it’s not a dream. Bo Qing, what are you doing here?"

Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing had been through thick and thin together.

The lad had earlier been seen with Dao Ge in Mercenary City, causing a mix-up when Ye Lingyue’s half-brother Hong Yulang had fancied Bo Qing.

Back then, Ye Lingyue had thought Bo Qing liked men.

Later Dao Ge gave up his position as the Demon Cave’s Young Master for Lan Cai’er and became Daxia’s National Guardian General.

After Wu Zhong and Di Shen’s incident, Ye Lingyue returned to Daxia and even encountered Dao Ge.

At that time, Ye Lingyue had asked Dao Ge about Bo Qing’s whereabouts, but Dao Ge was evasive with his words, so Ye Lingyue didn’t press further, assuming Bo Qing had taken over as the Young Master of the Primordial Demon Sect. Unexpectedly, Bo Qing was in the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Ye Lingyue recalled her fierce battle with Fire Spirit Ziyan, when the Gray Fire within her suddenly erupted, and then she heard a voice calling out to her urgently.

She also felt as if she heard the voices of Yun Sheng and Di Shen.

Ye Lingyue hastily checked her clothes to find the Phoenix Token still safely inside.

She breathed a sigh of relief but felt she had forgotten something important, just as she was about to ponder it, her head throbbed with a dull ache.

Her memory was a blur, and she couldn’t recall anything further. She shook her head and glanced again at Bo Qing, who was rubbing his cheek.

"Wait, with that outfit, Bo Qing, you’re not with that notorious Heroic Society, are you?"

Ye Lingyue finally noticed Bo Qing’s attire.

Bo Qing was dressed just like that scoundrel Qin Dong of the Heroic Society, or rather, Bo Qing’s outfit seemed more refined, clearly not of an ordinary rank.

With a bitter smile on his face, Bo Qing looked like he was swallowing his grievances, and after a long pause, he spoke.

"I seem to be the leader of that nefarious organization you’re referring to."

"Oh, good, as long as you’re not part of the Heroic Society, I won’t bother you... Wait! What did you say, you’re the president of the Heroic Society! Great, so you’re the one who took my things, leaving me on the streets and forcing me to work for the City Lord’s Mansion."

Ye Lingyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her eyes widened in disbelief.

"President, what happened?"

Tansu and others, who had been standing outside, rushed in after hearing the disturbance inside, worried something might have happened.

It was just as well they hadn’t barged in sooner; as soon as they did, they witnessed their president being berated by a beautiful young woman.

Usually, their president, so authoritative in public, was now rubbing his cheek with a sheepish grin, his peach blossom eyes filled with indulgence and helplessness.

The core members of the Heroic Society were taken aback, each internally lamenting, where did their mighty president go, please come back~

Tansu was nearly gnashing her teeth in anger.

"Ling Yue, calm down. This is a case of water flooding the Dragon King Temple, with family not recognizing family. The Heroic Society never took your things. Just know, whatever you like, my things are yours, your things are... still your things."

Bo Qing placated her while apologizing, all while inwardly cursing the ancestor of that scoundrel member who had infuriated Ye Lingyue.

Turning his head, he saw the group of members watching the spectacle.

"Who allowed you all to come in? Get out, all of you. And grab that short-sighted thief who dared to take our Ling Yue’s things. Return everything, not a single item missing."

Soon, the members reported back that Qin Dong had escaped, but Ye Lingyue’s storage bag and the Sky Wolf Stick were still there.

"Issue an order, put a city-wide bounty on Qin Dong, alive." Without another word, Bo Qing returned the storage bag and the Sky Wolf Stick to Ye Lingyue.

Anyway, with the Mu Huo Team as the final winner of this Underground Arena Competition, the prize rightfully belonged to Ye Lingyue.

Seeing her lost possessions returned, Ye Lingyue’s demeanor eased a bit.

She inspected the items, confirmed they were all there, and exhaled with relief.

"By the way, where’s Yue Mubai, who competed with me last?"

Ye Lingyue recalled severely injuring Yue Mubai at the last moment, his Fire Spirit devoured by her, rendering him a cripple.

Even so, Ye Lingyue intended to eradicate the problem completely.

A previous experience with Hong Mingyue had already taught her a valuable lesson.

Yue Mubai always gave Ye Lingyue a gloomy feeling; if not thoroughly dealt with, he’d become a future threat.

"You mean someone from the Mu Huo Team? The last male contestant was caught in a fire. After the flames extinguished, only a charred corpse was found." Bo Qing explained.

Ye Lingyue wanted to inquire further when the Huangquan City Lord, Si Xiaochun, and others entered.

They had been waiting outside for a day, relieved to see Ye Lingyue finally awake.

However, upon seeing Bo Qing, everyone was quite shocked.

Who would’ve thought such a notorious black organization as the Heroic Society was led by a person like this?

Especially Qin Xiaochuan, who quickly stepped forward to shield Ye Lingyue.

"Sixth sister-in-law, are you alright? Did this male-female freak do anything inappropriate? I’m sorry, Sixth Brother, for letting you end up in the hands of this freak. Rest assured, with Fourth Brother here, I won’t let this freak take advantage of you."

With every word Qin Xiaochuan spoke, calling the person a "male-female freak," Ye Lingyue’s heart throbbed with anxiety, frantically signaling with her eyes, knowing Bo Qing detested being called that.

Sure enough, Bo Qing’s handsome face started twitching, and his fists clenched with cracking sounds.

"Bo Qing, there’s something I need your help with. Do you have records left by the old president regarding the Qiulin Ruins?"

Fearing Bo Qing might lose control, Ye Lingyue hurriedly grabbed Bo Qing’s hand in desperation.
