Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1196 - 256: Record Breaker

The journey to the Qiulin Ruins was inevitable, but there was a problem with the personnel arrangement.

The Qiulin Ruins were notoriously dangerous, and Ye Lingyue believed that the number of people going should be few rather than many.

Since Ye Lingyue was the first to propose visiting the ruins, she was definitely going.

Yuan Xing was one of the only two people who had been to the ruins, so naturally, he had to go as well.

Upon hearing that Ye Lingyue was going, Bo Qing insisted on following, and naturally, Tan Su had to join too.

The disagreement arose with Old City Lord and Huangquan City Lord.

"Father, your health has just recovered, and you still need to rest at home. In my opinion, this time, I will go in your stead."

Si Yun argued strongly, as although her father’s illness had been cured, the Qiulin Ruins were still perilous, and Si Yun opposed her elderly father entering again.

"How can that be? I and Yuan Xing are the only ones who have experienced the Qiulin Ruins. It would be good to go together for mutual support."

The Old City Lord was unwilling to admit his age.

Seeing the father and daughter at an impasse, Ye Lingyue stepped in to mediate.

"Old City Lord, City Lord, there is no need to argue. If it is absolutely necessary, it’s better for the City Lord to go with us. Firstly, with Brother Yuan joining us and with the resources left by the old club leader, the terrain of the Qiulin Ruins is no problem. There was also a previous suggestion, making this trip to the Qiulin Ruins a rookie project assessment. Only those who pass can officially become Demon Hunters. Neither Huang Jun nor I have had a chance to attempt this since arriving in the city, so this trip is the perfect opportunity to complete the rookie assessment."

Ye Lingyue’s suggestion was supported by Si Yun.

She further proposed to bring along Si Xiaochun and Qin Xiaochuan as well.

"They are free anyway, and since they both want to become Demon Hunters, they should seize this chance to see the Qiulin Ruins. The younger generation overtakes the older one, Father. This time, both you and I are just supporting roles; these young people are the true leads, and we should give them the opportunity."

After some contemplation, the Old City Lord agreed.

Everyone immediately decided to set off for the Qiulin Ruins within a few days.

Ye Lingyue hadn’t mentioned the journey to the Qiulin Ruins to Di Shen for fear of worrying him, and only vaguely mentioned that she was going out for a rookie project.

"My dear wife, take care of yourself. By the way, I have news for you."

On the other end of the Phoenix Token, after Di Shen’s reminder, he thought for a moment and told Ye Lingyue about encountering the Qing Bai Demon and reclaiming a portion of demon blood, as well as gathering information about Yan Jiu.

Recently, Ye Lingyue had been busy with the Underground Arena Competition and matters in Huangquan City, leaving her with little time to speak with Di Shen properly.

A portion of Blood of Demon Ancestor has surfaced again, and it’s true that Yan Jiu is alive and confined in the Demon World?

These two astonishing pieces of news made Ye Lingyue anxious.

The former concerns the complete restoration of Di Shen’s memory and soul, while the latter involves Lan Cai’er and her son.

Over the years, the person Ye Lingyue felt most guilty towards was her good friend Lan Cai’er.

It’s been three years since Yan Jiu left, and Little Jiu Nian is over two years old.

Yet from his birth till now, he has never met his father.

The establishment of Daxia Country, despite the protection of General Lan and Dao Ge, has not stopped the outside rumors about Lan Cai’er being unfaithful and having a child out of wedlock.

For this, Lan Cai’er never uttered a word of complaint.

But Ye Lingyue knows that Lan Cai’er longs for Yan Jiu every moment.

"We must rescue Brother Yan, retrieve your demon blood, and the fragments of your soul."

Even if it’s the Demon World or even the eighteen levels of hell ahead, she and Di Shen will break through no matter what.

Those who harmed Yan Jiu and them will have to pay, sooner or later.

"By the way, Di Shen, you mentioned that after absorbing a part of the demon blood, strange markings appeared on you?"

Ye Lingyue didn’t know the extent of the impact of the demon blood on Di Shen.

"It’s nothing; those markings have disappeared, and there’s nothing abnormal with my body. My dear wife, you handle your tasks without worry. When you complete this mission and return, I’ll have a surprise for you."

Di Shen said mysteriously.

After exchanging a few more reminders, they finished the conversation.

After saying goodbye to Ye Lingyue, Di Shen put away the Phoenix Token, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

To avoid worrying his wife, Di Shen withheld some things.

Including the mutation in the demon blood within him, which could freely emerge, transform, or even become a Blood Blade or Blood Beast. Also, after the Qing Bai Demon told him about some Demon World matters, especially regarding the South Nether Emperor, he began to have fleeting glimpses of certain fragments in his mind.

Among them was a woman’s face, becoming clearer day by day.

What exactly is in the Demon World? What about the South Nether Emperor and the woman in his memories?

Di Shen shook his head, forcibly dismissing the jumbled thoughts, and walked ahead.

The night had completely enveloped Wuling City.

The city gates were tightly shut, and in the dead of night, there was a knocking sound.

The small squad leader Zhang Quan was awakened by a persistent knock at the gate.

"Which foolish person dares to knock on Wuling City’s gates in the dead of night?"

Zhang Quan, full of anger, opened the city gate to see a lone figure standing outside the massive gate.

Even in the darkness, the person’s features seemed to glow, instantly banishing Zhang Quan’s drowsiness.

"It’s you again! Di Shen, I told you, are you in such a hurry to reincarnate? Why are you knocking on the gate at this hour? Don’t think just because the City Lord values you, you can do whatever you please."

Zhang Quan pointed at Di Shen, who stood there boldly.

Di Shen raised his hand, throwing a heavy cloth bag over, precisely stuffing Zhang Quan’s incessantly chattering mouth.

"Ah, you brat, did you eat a bear’s heart and leopard’s courage?"

Zhang Quan spat a few times, then took a closer look at the bag Di Shen had thrown.

Upon opening it, there was a rattling sound, and rows of lustrous demon cores rolled out.

The number... one, two... one hundred... astonishingly, there were a thousand.

Zhang Quan was stunned once again.

A thousand demon cores; could it be that Di Shen managed to hunt down a thousand demon beasts in less than two months?

This is extraordinary.

"A thousand demon cores have been submitted. I should now officially be considered a Demon Hunter, right?"

Di Shen said lightly, and Zhang Quan could now clearly see that the sword Di Shen held had long been stained red by Beast Blood.

A record; coming to Huangquan City in under two months and becoming an official Demon Hunter is not just a record for Wuling City, but surely across the entire Ancient Nine Provinces Continent as well!

~Thank you all for your support, catching up with monthly votes for now; hope it stays. With you by my side, it’s truly a blessing. I’ll try to update more this weekend; year-end is like a battle, both publicly and privately, sigh~
