Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1286 - 346: Shui City

Hong Mingyue hesitated.

Deep inside, she was struggling repeatedly, with two voices constantly questioning each other.

"Hong Mingyue, what are you hesitating for?"

"That demon talisman definitely has a problem. It might cause the entire Shui City to fall into the hands of the Demon Clan."

"What does that have to do with you? You’ve even eaten humans. Do you still think you are the high and mighty Princess Hong or the Marquis Mansion’s daughter? Don’t forget, you’re less than dust. Zitang Su doesn’t even bother to look at you."

"That’s right, I’m nothing now. What do I care about the lives or deaths of people? I must survive, even if it means being scorned by everyone or living as a demon."

Shadow Concubine’s offer was undeniably tempting.

If she could just get rid of the Ghost Valley Moth and kill Yue Mubai, then she would be completely free.

The voice of opposition in Hong Mingyue’s heart was getting weaker.

In the end, she reached out and accepted the demon talisman.

"Here’s a recommendation letter as well. You will infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion as a maid, and within three days, you must get it done. I await your good news. Once it’s done, I will bring other demons in the city to infiltrate the City Lord’s Mansion. Your task is to assist us from the inside."

The number of demons in Shui City is considerable.

However, because there is a Spiritual Beast set outside the City Lord’s Mansion of Shui City, which only listens to orders from the Shui City Lord, it can distinguish the aura of the Demon Clan, making it very difficult even for Shadow Concubine’s people to infiltrate the mansion.

But Hong Mingyue was different. Although she carried the Demon Embryo, she was still human.

Moreover, she was young, beautiful, and from a reputable sect, meeting all the recruitment requirements for a maid at the City Lord’s Mansion.

That’s why Shadow Concubine had initially chosen her.

After speaking, Shadow Concubine’s voice faded away and her shadow disappeared, as if she had never been in the room.

Hong Mingyue put away the demon talisman and the next day, with the recommendation letter, infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion.

Following Shadow Concubine’s orders, Hong Mingyue successfully placed the demon talisman in the City Lord’s residence, and from then on, all she had to do was wait for the City Lord Meeting and, according to Shadow Concubine’s next instructions, secretly assist in bringing a Demon Clan companion from Gold City into the City Lord’s Mansion.

The next day, Ye Lingyue and her companions arrived in Shui City after a long journey.

Just as they stepped out of the Transmission Array, they were met with the deafening sound of splashing water.

"Wow, this is Shui City. It’s absolutely magnificent."

Even after witnessing the imposing metal grandeur of Gold City, everyone, except for Senior Sister Wan Yun who had been to Shui City before, was awestruck at the sight.

As its name suggests, Shui City is a city on the water, distinct from the other new cities.

The entire city is positioned within a massive waterfall system, with its walls forming a tall water dam.

The city is structured from high to low, according to the waterfall’s drop, spanning from the Main City, to Urban Area, to Wei City, from the inside to the outside.

Throughout the year, except when the waterfalls freeze in winter, the sound of flowing water is unceasing in Shui City.

In Shui City, boats are the primary mode of transportation.

Even upon leaving the Transmission Array, entering Wei City from the outskirts is done by boat.

Upon entering Wei City, everyone must go through an inspection before they can enter. Ye Lingyue and the others also disembarked for inspection according to the rules.

"The defenses in Shui City are much stricter than when I previously visited. I wonder if we’ll find any new information about the Taixu Tomb Realm this time."

Senior Sister Wan Yun mumbled as she glanced at the slowly moving queue and fiddled with her Sky Wolf Stick.

Since Ye Lingyue used her spiritual power to control the Sky Wolf Stick in Yanmen Town and found some clues, the staff hadn’t reacted at all during the journey.

If they couldn’t find anything in Shui City, their only option to locate the Taixu Tomb Realm would be to track down Yue Mubai.

Ye Lingyue only learned after capturing Chairman Jin that Yue Mubai wasn’t dead; he had been taken by members of Chairman Jin’s Jin Family.

As for his exact whereabouts, even Chairman Jin didn’t know.

"It’s probably because the City Lord Meeting is approaching, hence the strict security. After all, it’s quite an event for all nine new city lords to gather for a meeting."

Ye Lingyue also wore a serious expression.

Although she had reluctantly accepted the position of Huangquan City Lord, as soon as she did, the fate of Huangquan City fell on her shoulders. She needed to convince the other city lords at this meeting.

Di Shen beside Ye Lingyue was also lost in thought.

He raised his head to glance at the clear sky that was one with the water of Shui City, a hint of murkiness flitting across his obsidian-like eyes.

Demon Energy—invisible to the naked eye but heavily loomed in the sky over Shui City.

In the Five Elements, water is yin; for demons, an area abundant in Water Spirit is an ideal place for cultivation, so the number of demons inhabiting Shui City was astonishing.

Di Shen looked at the Little Evil Rabbit held in Ye Lingyue’s arms, its heterochromic eyes also filled with unease.

"Did you notice it too?"

Di Shen silently communicated with the Little Evil Rabbit.

The Little Evil Rabbit was dumbfounded, instinctively feeling awe towards Di Shen.

This man was completely different from its master.

Its master possessed a kind of warmth and sunny disposition that people longed for, like the essence of life itself.

However, sometimes the man would exude a power that the Little Evil Rabbit both craved and feared, as if he were an abyss capable of swallowing everything.

This feeling had been intensifying recently.

Yet, the oppressive sensation would completely vanish at times.

The Little Evil Rabbit hadn’t told its master about this repeated scenario because it sensed that the man didn’t want its master to know about this issue.

The Little Evil Rabbit was deeply conflicted.

On one hand, it was loyal to its master, but on the other, its innate demon beast instincts made it display an inborn reverence towards Di Shen, the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor.

"Di Shen, it’s time to enter the city."

Ye Lingyue turned back, meeting Di Shen’s contemplative gaze.

The man lazily tugged at the corners of his mouth, striding forward to stand beside Ye Lingyue. With a flick of his hand, he pulled the Little Evil Rabbit from Ling Yue’s arms and casually tossed it aside.

The poor Little Evil Rabbit landed with a swollen bump on its head.

"Di Shen, what are you doing?" Ye Lingyue complained.

"It’s male." Di Shen glanced at the Little Evil Rabbit.

Ye Lingyue was speechless. Here we go again, Di Shen was acting like Wu Zhong.

Before it was Little Zhiyo, now it’s the Little Evil Rabbit.

This man, when he gets jealous, treats both men and male beasts the same way.
