Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend
Chapter 142 - 12: Crow or Phoenix

Chapter 142: Chapter 12: Crow or Phoenix

The wife I had in hand... flew away. Just before Little Zhiyo fell unconscious, its little head could only muster this tragic thought.

The creature with a head roughly the size of a small yellow chick, cloaked in black feathers all over its body, including black claws and beak, was in fact a descendant of the Divine Phoenix.

It was only after Ye Lingyue and Dahuang finally got a good look at the little one’s appearance that they snapped back to reality.

The corner of Ye Lingyue’s mouth twitched.

Who could tell her whether this little creature before her eyes was a crow or a phoenix?

Or could it be that the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix couple had picked up the wrong egg?

Ye Lingyue had heard that among birds, there were certain species that would lay their eggs in another bird’s nest for hatching, but surely this kind of event couldn’t happen to a Divine Phoenix, right?

In any case, Ye Lingyue had never seen a black phoenix, completely devoid of any colored feathers, as black as ink.

What’s worse, after this little phoenix was born, it simply couldn’t fly at all. All it knew was to run around on the ground like a little chick.

And when it got tired of running, it would run back to drink some water by Rainbow Creek, looking utterly content.

Dahuang glanced at the little phoenix, then at Little Zhiyo who still twitched occasionally while unconscious, and gave a deeply sympathetic look.

"Zhiyo~"

After half an hour, Little Zhiyo finally woke up.

The first sight it saw upon awakening was that drab little black phoenix. It immediately became overwhelmed with grief and dashed towards Ye Lingyue on its short legs, crying its heart out.

From the intermittent wails, Ye Lingyue roughly understood what Little Zhiyo meant.

Its wife, a beautiful and flashy Divine Phoenix, was gone, just gone.

It didn’t want to mate with this little phoenix that looked like a lump of coal. No, this creature was not a phoenix at all; it should be named Little Wuya.

And so, the name of the little black phoenix became Little Wuya.

"Little Zhiyo, stop crying for now, I’ve checked already, and Little Wuya is a phoenix. There might be some reason that caused it to mutate. As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover, it might not look impressive, but perhaps it has great abilities." While Little Zhiyo was unconscious, Ye Lingyue had encouraged it to test Little Wuya’s talents.

Being a descendant of the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix couple, it ought to have some phoenix divine talents, right?

"Zhiyo?" Upon hearing this, Little Zhiyo perked up.

It looked over at the little phoenix, which after having its fill of water, was curiously and contentedly observing Little Zhiyo with its little belly bulging.

After all, it was hatched by Little Zhiyo, and naturally felt an affinity towards it.

Little Zhiyo stepped forward, called out curiously to Little Wuya twice, implying that it should show off some unique skills.

Being ugly didn’t matter if it was strong; if it couldn’t be an idol, then it could at least be a powerhouse.

However, Little Wuya clearly didn’t understand Little Zhiyo’s intentions, appearing completely clueless.

"Zhiyo?"

What Little Zhiyo meant was, your parents’ calls were like heavenly music, so give us a few calls to see if you’ve got a golden voice. At worst, they could just take you out busking.

Little Wuya stretched out her dark little head, wanting to nuzzle against Little Zhiyo.

"Zhiyo!"

Little Zhiyo dodged away, her face full of disdain. This creature didn’t even know how to call properly. Could it be a mute phoenix? There was no way it had anything to do with the so-called voice of heaven.

Seeing Little Zhiyo’s disdainful look, teardrops welled up in Little Wuya’s eyes; she felt so aggrieved that she curled into a fluffy ball, hiding and sobbing.

"Little Zhi, enough. Little Wuya is still young, let’s wait and see if it has any other divine talents," Ye Lingyue could no longer stand by and watch, so she comforted Little Wuya with a gentle pat.

Little Zhiyo, however, wasn’t ready to give up. After incubating the egg for so many days, to have a mute Little Wuya hatch was utterly disheartening.

But since the boss had spoken, it could only test Little Wuya another day.

Although Little Zhiyo would be depressed for a good while, at least the Phoenix Egg had hatched successfully. Ye Lingyue had already fulfilled half of the promise made to the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix.

After dealing with matters concerning Little Phoenix and Little Zhiyo, night had fallen. Ye Lingyue was about to rest when Lan Cai’er, who hadn’t been seen for several days, charged in with much haste.

"Ling Yue, I finally found a suitable tavern. In a few days, I’ll hire people and start the renovation. I heard from mother that you’re going to Hongwu Hall tomorrow to report?" Lan Cai’er had hardly slept these past few days due to the tavern business.

But as soon as she heard that Ye Lingyue was going to learn martial arts at the Hongwu Hall, she ran over without even taking a sip of water.

"Drink some water first. Before we talk about Hongwu Hall, let me give you a gift," Ye Lingyue said with a beaming smile, handing over the Youthful Elixir given by Master Long Yu.

"Yellow Pattern Youth Pill, this is good stuff indeed. Where did you get it from?" Lan Cai’er was most envious of alchemists, especially those advanced female alchemists who knew how to refine Youthful Elixirs. Even those over fifty still looked as youthful as eighteen-year-olds.

"I got it from Master Long Yu, for you and adoptive mother. It’s perfect for you both," Ye Lingyue always felt grateful for how the Lan Family had taken care of her.

Youthful Elixir from Master Long Yu?

In Xia Capital, how many noble ladies and daughters of noble families would fight tooth and nail to get a pill personally made by Master Long Yu? And yet, Ye Lingyue managed to get one so easily.

Lan Cai’er instantly saw her sworn sister in a new light.

Ye Lingyue then recounted to Lan Cai’er what had happened at the Alchemist Tower during the day.

Upon hearing that Ye Lingyue was almost hurt by Nangong Qinglin, Lan Cai’er angrily slammed the table and stood up.

"General Nangong’s Mansion, Ling Yue, this isn’t over. I will go to the General’s Mansion to settle the score with Nangong Qinglin. How dare she attack my sister! If word gets out, those noble ladies will gloat," said Lan Cai’er. Ye Lingyue was stunned by her words, realizing from her tone that perhaps Nangong Qinglin had also offended Lan Cai’er?

Indeed, Nangong Qinglin was one of Lan Cai’er’s nemeses.

Nangong Qinglin came from a noble background, grouped with other young masters and ladies of noble birth, who always targeted Lan Cai, who had a commoner’s origin.

Previously, when Lan Cai’er had joined Hongwu Hall, she had disciplined several martial artists of noble birth.

General Nangong and the fathers of those martial artists seized this opportunity to repeatedly accuse Lan Yingwu at court of lax discipline.

Worried that his daughter would cause more trouble, Lan Yingwu was forced to make Lan Cai’er leave Hongwu Hall.

"Sister, don’t worry. In fact, she didn’t gain much from it; her Beast Pet was ruined by me, and even her family’s golden sword was confiscated," Ye Lingyue explained after listening to her.

"I came tonight to tell you one more thing. Now that you’re the second young miss of the Lan Family, and once you enter Hongwu Hall, those so-called nobles will definitely target you. Tomorrow, you better be extra careful," Lan Cai’er said with concern.

"Sister, rest assured. Whoever caused you to leave Hongwu Hall, I will make them leave it," Ye Lingyue said with a hint of ruthless determination in her words.
