Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1197 - 257: Shock Within the Surprise

Early the next morning, Ye Lingyue and the others set off, leaving Huangquan City, heading towards Qiulin Ruins.

Just after Ye Lingyue and her companions departed, a dusty man walked out from a Transmission Array that afternoon.

He had sword-like brows and clear eyes, looking very handsome. It was Di Shen, who had just become an official Demon Hunter.

According to the agreement between Di Shen and Wuling City, once Di Shen hunted a thousand demon beasts and became a Demon Hunter, he could leave Wuling City and roam freely across the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, except for the Central Plains.

The reason the Wuling City Lord set such harsh conditions was due to Di Shen’s youthful vigor; although he had high talent, his temperament was too rebellious.

To know, a thousand demon beasts would normally take a newbie at least one to two years to complete.

However, Di Shen, in order to see his wife sooner, alongside encountering the Qing Bai Demon, killed hundreds of demon beasts at once.

Even the shrewd Wuling City Lord was left without a solution.

He had to allow Di Shen to leave, but he insisted that, regardless of which city Di Shen arrived at on the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent or whatever events he joined, he must acknowledge himself as coming from Wuling City.

This was also one of the longstanding rules of the nine new cities, a mark of honor.

Di Shen didn’t hesitate and agreed. He just wanted to see his wife quickly, and imagining his wife’s shocked expression when she sees him, a mischievous smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Due to Di Shen completing his task early, he had to temporarily part ways with Fifth Sister Wuyue.

"Sixth Brother, you go ahead to Huangquan City to meet with Sixth Sister-in-law and Fourth Brother. I’ll catch up later," Wuyue advised before seeing Di Shen off into Wuling City’s Transmission Array.

Unlike the Transmission Array at the Ancient Pass, the transmission arrays among the several newbie cities weren’t directly connected, especially between Wuling City and Huangquan City, which were located at the northern and southern extremes of the Ancient Nine Provinces. Di Shen had to first transfer through Yanmen City to reach Huangquan City.

After several hours of bumpy travel, Di Shen arrived at Yanmen City from Wuling City. He then needed to use Yanmen City’s Transmission Array to transfer to Gold City and finally to reach Huangquan City.

Since it was close to dusk and getting late, Yanmen City’s Transmission Array was closed, forcing Di Shen to stay in Yanmen City for a day.

Walking down the streets of Yanmen City, Di Shen attracted admiring glances from countless women as he passed by.

During the two months apart from Ye Lingyue, Di Shen’s demeanor and appearance had undergone substantial changes.

The continuous slaughter had erased the initial greenness he had when he first entered the Ancient Nine Provinces, complemented by the absorption of the Demon Ancestor Demon Blood from the Qing Bai Demon.

Now, Di Shen’s face had completely shed the softness and cuteness of his adolescence.

Under the sunlight, his features were sculpted as if carved by nature, with ink-like hair, gleaming, proud eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips sensuous yet perfect, exuding a wild and wickedly attractive aura.

Especially if Ye Lingyue encountered this, she would surely notice that her Little Di Shen was becoming more and more like Wu Zhong, albeit only before Ye Lingyue would he exhibit the kind of warmth and affection that only Feng Xun possessed.

This strong contrast inevitably shocked outsiders, seen as a Heavenly Person.

The constant gazes from others were not enjoyable to Di Shen, rather they felt annoying.

After thinking it over, he decided to buy a bamboo hat to conceal his enviable Heavenly Person’s Appearance.

The nature’s spiritual energy in Yanmen City was, compared to Wuling City, incredibly scarce, even the Five Spirits Nirvana Body could absorb only pitiful amounts of nature’s spiritual energy here.

Di Shen couldn’t help but recall that if it weren’t for the fortuitous encounter with the Primordial Power Storm, his wife might have been cultivating here in Yanmen City.

Di Shen arrived at a guesthouse intending to stay for the night.

"One upper room."

Di Shen casually tossed out two Intermediate Spirit Stones.

The large-scale hunting had broken newbie records, not only accumulating sufficient combat experience for Di Shen but also amassing considerable wealth.

"Alright, sir, please follow me. Heavenly Number Three guest room."

The waiter was sharp enough to recognize Di Shen’s generosity, as well as seeing the brand new Demon Hunter Token on him.

Most of those who came to newbie cities like Yanmen City were newbies, usually quite poor. Encountering a big spender was rare, so the waiter naturally offered enthusiastic hospitality.

Di Shen turned down a corridor, leading to a delicate courtyard, which felt serene due to the few people around.

This guesthouse’s Heavenly guest rooms, called VIP rooms, varied from Heavenly Number One to Four, each facing east, west, south, and north.

Di Shen stayed in the southern room.

Di Shen casually tossed a Low-level Spirit Stone to the waiter.

"Sir, if you need anything, please feel free to call on me," the waiter said joyfully. That single Low-level Spirit Stone was worth half a month’s wages.

While speaking, the north side room opened and three men stepped out.

The leading man had a cold demeanor, hawk-like eyes, and glanced at Di Shen and the waiter beside him.

"Waiter."

Quickly coming up with an excuse, the waiter went forward.

Those few men closed the door.

Di Shen furrowed his brows; he wasn’t one to meddle in affairs, but seeing two or three men staying in one room...

Di Shen then entered his room and closed the door.

Once Di Shen was inside, the ears of those in the north side room twitched slightly. The waiter, who had previously donned a sycophantic demeanor, straightened up, losing any semblance of a lowly servant.

"How’s the woman in the east side room behaving lately?"

The cold man among the earlier three sat down.

"That woman sticks around like a pesky glue, very hard to shake off. Recently, she’s been hovering around the guesthouse and nearby. It seems she’s already tracked down that the last place Zhao Tianlang was before he died was here."

The "waiter" replied respectfully.

"Hmm, truly stubborn. If that’s the case, let’s send her off to accompany Zhao Tianlang. Later, when she returns, leak some information to her, think of a way to lure her out."

The cold man’s eyes shone with malevolence, making a gesture suggesting assassination.

"Understood," the "waiter" bowed and complied.

"What’s the background of the person who checked into Heavenly Number Three room?" The cold man asked warily.

"Seems like a newbie Demon Hunter passing through, doesn’t appear particularly noteworthy," the "waiter" reported some of the happenings in Yanmen City over the past few days.

Those in the room didn’t notice that during the conversation, a lush Qing Bai stretched its branches beside the window.

The Qing Bai was the transformed Qing Bai Demon.

A quarter of an hour later, within Heavenly Number Three room, the Qing Bai Demon relayed every word from the conversation in the north-side room to Di Shen.

While Qing Bai Demon was reporting, voices began sounding outside.

Upon hearing those voices, Di Shen’s eyebrows twitched.
