Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor's Wild Beast-Tamer Empress

Chapter 505: Confrontation

Coming back to her senses after the first emotional longing, Ling Yues mood promptly turned into a dissatisfied lioness ready to roar out.

Stinking Feng Shen, hurry and handle this woman. Its you who provoked her so you should take responsibility.

Understanding the signal in the girls eye, Feng Shens lip inexplicably curled into a laughing grin.

He only intended to give Chen Hong Ru a visit just now and to have a chess game with the old senior before leaving. However, right before the final chess piece was set on the board, the lord and master of the Dan Palace suddenly did the strangest thing and requested Xue Pian Ran to summon Ling Yue over.

Regarding the reason, the boy hadnt a clue. Perhaps its to gouge out why his student would be outdone by a lass in such messy fashion when she barely had much training over the years.

Once Feng Shen and the two-faced witch was gone, Ling Yues attention refocuses back onto why she had come and that was to meet this Chen Hong Ru. Under normal circumstances the girl wouldnt be so eager to meet a enemy, but she just remembered something crucial, or more precisely, a name.

It was her great ancestor Ye Nameless.

Earlier Ling Yue already found it strange on why she would feel the name sounding so familiar to the ear. Now that shes had a little more time to dwell on the matter, it all came back. North Qings number one alchemist, the lord and master of the Dan Palace. His fame originated from five hundred years ago at the Worlds Number One Forge, a renowned contest of the greatest high. Also, the arch nemesis of their Ye family!

Once again, the words from that special day returns to haunt the ears: If one day in the future you would come across the opportunity, you must exact revenge for me.

Back then Ling Yue only made the careless promise of agreeing out of the belief she wouldnt meet an old relic from five hundred years ago. To think that very same Chen Hong Ru would now soon appear before her very eyes. Honestly, to say shes at a loss for words were a understatement.

Continuing on the upward climb through these pedestals and into the inner sactum of the structure, the only one to come receive her were a single caretaker in the place. From his mouth, she quickly learned her host now awaits at the stargazing balcony up at the highest point.

Unlike the alchemists of Da Xia, the ones in North Qing also had another ability aside from forging artifacts and concocting Dan pills, they could also utilize the powers of the star. Through this secondary source of power, one could perceive the future and the past, predict calamities and change ones destiny, thats if they are capable enough anyways.

Before long, after much walking and a little bit of fatigue at this point, Ling Yue finally got her first glimpse of the long-awaited man. Frankly, its not how she imagined a five-hundred-year-old person to look like.

Donning a loose robe of neither white nor black, perhaps even grey, she couldnt tell. But ones thing sure though, the first impression she got was a high standing lonely old senior from those ancient stories of the books. Yet, that young handsome face gave it a contradicting vibe, making it all out of wack.

So you are Ye Ling Yue of Da Xia? The voice sounded like an old withered vine ready to croak at any minute, yet it also sounded smooth like the frosty chills of winters night.

But before Ling Yue could even answer that question, suddenly, her minds been invaded by an eye. Prying open the defenses, the force was reckoning in how easily it managed to carve its way into the very depths of her soul.

From what used to be the radiant glow of the morning sun, the blue open vastness just disappeared around herself. In its place now blanketed a sheet of darkness, highlighted only by the nine shimmering spectacles of each star up there.

Then everything just exploded into a blast of brightness.

She wanted to resist, unfortunately for her though, it was already too late by the time she realizes whats happening. All of her surroundings, all of her controls, its nothing but emptiness now like shes been deprived of something, or to be more exact, another more powerful entity has invaded her soul and took over!

She knew what this meant, causing that body to tremble out of reflex.

From being abandoned by that scum of a father as a baby, to being mentally damaged for more than a decade, everything thats most sensitive were being snooped out within her memory!

To think the number one alchemist of North Qing, Chen Hong Ru, would openly use his spirit force to soul search Ye Ling Yue in such a blatant manner. This was not something a man of his standing should do. However, hes grown direly suspicious of the girls background, especially after seeing that rainbow variant of the reincarnation Dan pill.

An alchemist under the age of fifteen actually managed such an amazing feat. If he were to assume the miraculous event back at Moon City were an accident then this time he could no longer stay in denial. For the first time in five hundred yeas, Da Xia has produced another alchemic genius outside of Ye Nameless!

Now all this great lord and master of the Dan Palace wants to know was if Ye Ling Yue had anything to do with his arch rival.

As long as he discovers anything remotely related Ye Nameless inside the girls soul, he would crush her and send her into an enteral abyss of ruin!

Cannot be discovered, I must never be discovered. The force coming down at her was equivalent to an elephant stomping down at an ant, causing Ling Yue to feel immeasurable pain both physically and mentally.

But just as her souls about to give, the images of her secret pocket dimension and the spirit cauldron came swinging at her head like a bat. Those two things were her lifeline, the greatest secret she has. No matter what happens, she couldnt allow the enemy to learn of this.

Ripping right into her flesh with those nails of hers, Ling Yues only recourse was to turn to the sharp stinging pain in the hand to act as fuel.

HA~ Like a sigh yet a giggle, this abrupt laughter that came out of nowhere was abnormally crisp in the dead of night.

When using this soul-searching skill of his, it not only attacks the target, it also leaves Chen Hong Ru at his weakest. Therefore, the fool didnt even realize hes been counter invaded by another third party until hes come face to face with the source.

What a face!

Thats all he could think of when confronting the enchanting female responsible for his imminent danger. If he had to describe the individual, its a demoness, a succubus, a true creature of carnal pleasure with a saintly glow.

Hes never felt his heart pound this hard. Five hundred years, thats how long hes lived. Yet, not once has he ever experienced such lust for a female

But before he could further reach out in his futile attempt to take that face, a sharp stinging pain from the front had knocked him back to his senses. A dagger, the thing had pierced into his ethereal temple and destroyed the last wisp of invading energy he held within the girls body.

Just like that, the Star Soul Searching Technique unique to only this master alchemist has been broken.

No matter what, a visitor is still a guest. I thought after making me walk so many steps up the stairs that I would at least get a cup of tea. Ling Yues voice sounded very indifferent and calm, totally different from the stiffness from earlier where shes being controlled.

Someone come, bring the tea. We cant have others start making claims that my Dan Palace doesnt know how to treat our guests well. A brief moment later, the servants from below had brought the tea along to serve the already seated Cheng Hong Ru and impudent lass who dares to seat herself across from such a esteem figure.
