Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1293 - 353: The Unlucky Young City Lord

The canal water shimmered, reflecting the figure of a person from earlier.

It was none other than the beautiful female dancer who had captivated Qin Xiaochuan at the city gate.

"It seems I was overthinking. She is entirely capable of protecting herself in Shui City. But whether she can smoothly resolve this crisis, I don’t know."

The female dancer looked towards the main city ahead.

At two-thirds of the canal segment, Luo Qianche finished giving orders and waited for the Whale-man warriors to report back.

Remembering Di Shen’s earlier indifferent attitude toward her, Luo Qianche sneered inwardly. No one could look down on the descendants of the Water God.

At this moment, there was a commotion underwater.

Several strong Whale-man warriors quietly approached the ship, and Luo Qianche felt a surge of joy in her heart.

It seemed these Whale People hadn’t disappointed her expectations; that useless City Lord must have already sunk to the bottom of the water.

The Whale-man warriors surfaced, and just as Luo Qianche was about to interrogate them, one suddenly swung its trident fiercely.

The sharply pointed trident aimed directly at her.

Luo Qianche screamed, completely unprepared, feeling a sudden sharp pain in her eye socket, blood red obscuring her vision.

Next, she only felt a tremendous pain on her scalp, as her hair was grabbed by the Whale-man warriors, and her entire body was thrown into the water like a sack of rice.

Above the water, a red hue of blood spread out.

Luo Qianche’s screams alerted Di Shen and the others.

Di Shen and the others were discussing the Gold City Lord and the demon clan hiding within Shui City, paying no attention to Luo Qianche’s unusual actions.

It wasn’t until Luo Qianche fell into the water did they react.

"The Young City Lord has fallen into the water, quickly rescue her."

The Wuling City Lord and others were shocked, and Di Shen also noticed a large number of Whale People swimming around the ship.

Those Whale People, with bloodshot eyes, emitted violent screeches, attacking the Wuling City Lord and others, preventing them from going into the water to rescue her.

No one expected that the Whale People, who had always revered Luo Qianche like a deity, would suddenly revolt.

On the water, it was the realm of the Whale People.

They were extremely fast, like flying fish, quickly dragging Luo Qianche to the bottom of the water, disappearing without a trace, her fate unknown.

Zhang Quan and the Old City Lord did not dare to enter the water rashly, helplessly they immediately moored and notified the Shui City Lord.

"Old City Lord, what happened?"

Not long after, Ye Lingyue and Senior Sister Wan Yun’s Water Arrow Ship also docked.

"The Young City Lord was attacked by Whale People and fell into the water, her life and death are uncertain. We are doing our best to search for her."

The Wuling City Lord relaxed upon seeing Ye Lingyue and others were okay.

The Young City Lord fell into the water? Attacked by Whale People?

What a twist, weren’t those Whale People Luo Qianche’s subordinates?

They remembered Ye Lingyue held a drum earlier when repelling those Whale People. Could it be that the Whale People’s abnormal behavior was related to that drum Ye Lingyue had?

"How is Qianche?"

In the main city, a middle-aged man with a delicate face, resembling Luo Qianche, accompanied by several guards, walked over.

His appearance was similar to Luo Qianche, around forty years old, with pale gray eyes that frequently flashed with a sly glint.

This man was City Lord Luo Qian of Shui City, rushing over after hearing his beloved daughter had fallen into the water.

He learned that Luo Qianche was attacked by Whale People, causing her to fall into the water.

"Impossible, Qianche grew up in Shui City, has excellent swimming skills, and those Whale People have obeyed her since childhood. How could they attack her? There must be something amiss."

No one knows a daughter better than her father, and Luo Qian was also aware that these Whale People usually lived near the canal, only appearing when attacked or summoned by their father-daughter duo.

In broad daylight, where would an attack come from?

He himself hadn’t issued any command, so the only possibility was that his daughter summoned those Whale People.

As for why the summoner became the victim, that can only be known when Luo Qianche is found.

City Lord Luo Qian ordered all city guards to search along the canal, and after a quarter of an hour, Luo Qianche was found.

She was not dead, but her appearance was horrific.

Luo Qianche’s eye was impaled by the trident of a Whale-man warrior, her eyeball fell out.

Also, her face was disfigured, scraped by the rocks at the bottom of the river.

Even if her face could be healed, Luo Qianche’s eye was definitely ruined.

Seeing his daughter in such a state, City Lord Luo Qian nearly choked in grief.

His face turned grim.

A terrifying ripple of Reincarnation Water Power began swirling around him.

A water-blue array appeared beneath his feet.

A similar array was used by Luo Qianche earlier, but the one under Luo Qian’s feet was much larger and contained much more spiritual power than hers.

From the array emerged a wave, atop which stood a tall, handsome man with deep blue eyes and blue short hair, with a water-blue mark on his smooth forehead.

The Merman, wearing a shell necklace around his slender neck, had a fishman’s lower body as well.

"It’s the Demigod Beast, the Merfolk King of City Lord Luo."

Upon seeing the fishman, Senior Sister Wan Yun whispered to Ye Lingyue’s ear.

Merman?

Ye Lingyue had heard of this beast clan, known as the second most powerful existence in the Water Element Spiritual Beasts after the Dragon Clan.

They mostly lived in remote sea areas, rarely interacting with humans.

To think the City Lord of Shui City could summon the Merfolk King.

"Merfolk King, my daughter was attacked by the Whale People, who are your subordinates. I order you to investigate the entire story immediately." City Lord Luo Qian demanded from the Merfolk King.

The proud Merfolk King didn’t express much dissatisfaction with Luo Qian’s stern tone.

He bowed slightly, performed a spell, and the river surface rippled as a Whale-man warrior appeared in front of him.

The Whale-man warrior’s eyes were no longer blood-red, the effect of the Confusing Heart Drum had disappeared.

Pathetically kneeling on the ground, the Whale-man warrior couldn’t explain what happened to Luo Qianche.

All they knew was that when they regained consciousness, the Young City Lord Luo Qianche was severely injured.

"You lowly Whale People, for your stupidity, I want you all to pay with your lives. Guards, poison all the Whale People in the canal. Any who try to escape, kill them, leave no one alive."

Recalling his daughter’s condition, City Lord Luo Qian was heartbroken, and with a wave of his hand, the guard beside him beheaded the Whale-man warrior.

Ye Lingyue instinctively wanted to stop it upon hearing this.

"Don’t act recklessly, wife."

Di Shen grabbed Ye Lingyue’s hand, holding her in his arms.

When Luo Qianche was retrieved, Di Shen realized it must have been Ye Lingyue’s doing behind the scenes.
