Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1331 - 391: Servant Contract

The sound of water splashing echoed.

Luo Qianche felt a chill all over her body, her previously hazy consciousness slowly returning.

She opened her eyes, still showing a bashful expression.

She had expected to see Di Shen’s handsome face, but what met her gaze was the Merfolk King.

She screamed and stood up, realizing she had been thrown into the Han River.

She was only wearing a few sparse and thin pieces of clothing.

"Why is it you? Where is Di Shen?"

Luo Qianche clearly remembered that last night, following Guangzi’s arrangement, everything had gone smoothly, and she was just about to consummate her relationship with Di Shen. How did she end up here in the blink of an eye?

Where had Di Shen gone?

A slap landed on Luo Qianche’s face, making her see stars.

Her cheek immediately became red and swollen.

"Merfolk King, how dare you hit me? What right do you have to hit me? Even my father has never hit me!"

Luo Qianche was so furious, her eyes blazed with anger.

"This slap is on behalf of your mother, teaching you a lesson for being oblivious. You knew that Di Shen and that City Lord Ye are partners, yet you insist on seducing him, nearly causing a great mistake."

Last night, the Merfolk King found Luo Qianche missing. Worried she had snuck out of Yuliao Town alone, he spent the night searching for her whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, he found Luo Qianche in disarray in a courtyard, her mouth constantly calling for Di Shen.

The Merfolk King’s sharp intuition immediately understood the situation, so he took Luo Qianche away and threw her into the Han River to sober her up.

"What’s wrong with seducing people? You are merely a dog of Shui City, what right do you have to mention my mother. Don’t think I don’t know, my father told me you always secretly loved my mother, but unfortunately, my mother only had eyes for my father."

Luo Qianche cursed hatefully.

Upon hearing this, the Merfolk King trembled with anger, his stormy blue eyes a surging ocean of fury.

His gaze seemed capable of devouring a person.

Luo Qianche was terrified by the intense look.

Yet ultimately, looking at Luo Qianche’s face which bore some resemblance to Luo Qixue’s, the fury in the Merfolk King’s eyes subsided.

"Young City Lord, you’re right, I have no right to teach you a lesson. But for your personal safety, I advise you not to provoke Ye Lingyue or Di Shen. Neither of them is someone you can afford to provoke."

As someone with experience, the Merfolk King long understood.

After speaking, the Merfolk King left with heavy steps.

"Dog servant, since when do you get to manage my affairs? Everyone thinks that Ye Lingyue is so capable; I refuse to believe she can be more capable than me." Luo Qianche climbed out of the Han River, furious.

Why did everyone around her recognize that Ye Lingyue?

Even the townsfolk respected Ye Lingyue, calling her City Lord Ye, and so did the Mayor’s group.

She was determined to prove she was more capable than Ye Lingyue, to make everyone see her in a new light.

But how could she prove she was stronger than Ye Lingyue?

As for medical skills, she knew nothing.

In terms of gaining the people’s favor, everyone in Yuliao Town now respected Ye Lingyue immensely.

If this continued, she would undoubtedly lose the City Lord assessment.

Her father had repeatedly warned her before sending her out of the city, ensuring Ye Lingyue would not become the City Lord of Huangquan City.

Luo Qianche thought, unwilling to accept it, as her mind quickly devised a plan.

She returned to the cabin.

Inside the cabin, Jiang Ce and others contaminated with Resentful Qi were still held inside.

Jiang Ce had been poisoned by the resentful poison for the second time, and his condition was far more severe than other townsfolk.

Ye Lingyue was unwilling to waste extra Cauldron Breath on him during such critical times, so she merely kept him detained, planning to deal with Jiang Ce once the matter was resolved.

Upon seeing someone enter, Jiang Ce, whose Divine Sense was extinguished, tugged at the chain, attempting to pounce toward Luo Qianche.

Luo Qianche saw this and surrounded herself with Reincarnation Water Power, a summoning array floated beneath her feet.

"Almighty Water God, grant me the Power of Water God."

Luo Qianche held a scepter, and pointed it at Jiang Ce, channeling the Power of Water God into Jiang Ce’s brow.

A light blue contract imprint appeared on Jiang Ce’s brow.

This imprint resembled the one on the Merfolk King’s forehead.

However, unlike the Merfolk King’s Demigod Seal, the Merfolk King was a Demigod Beast. Although he promised to protect Shui City, becoming a guardian Demigod Beast, his contract imprint was an equal contract.

Jiang Ce’s forehead imprint, however, was a servant contract.

This meant that even if Jiang Ce removed the Resentful Qi from his body in the future, he would never regain his freedom, instead serving Luo Qianche like an animal.

Nevertheless, this servant contract wasn’t effective on everyone.

If it were, Luo Qianche would have already used it on Ye Lingyue or Di Shen.

The servant contract required the other’s body and mind to be in extreme chaos or weakness; otherwise, if resisted, the contractor could potentially suffer a backlash with severe damage.

Luo Qianche seized this opportunity, given Jiang Ce’s current incoherent state, to contract him.

Upon the servant contract, Jiang Ce ceased his struggle, crouching before Luo Qianche like a lapdog.

"Jiang Ce, listen to me, lead me to the source of that Resentful Qi. Once I eliminate that troublesome Water Ghost, I will make everyone see me in a new light. Then, I want to see who dares to underestimate me." Luo Qianche laughed with abandon.

At dawn, Di Shen brought back Huang Jun.

Controlled by Resentful Qi, Huang Jun no longer recognized Ling Yue or Di Shen.

After Cauldron Breath cleansing, he regained his senses.

"What happened to me? It felt like I was having a nightmare. By the way, where are Senior Sister Wan Yun and Xiao Chuan?"

Awakened, Huang Jun felt both grateful and embarrassed upon seeing Ye Lingyue and Di Shen.

"We’ll find a way to locate Senior Sister Wan Yun later. But for now, how did you get entangled with Resentful Qi? I remember leaving you some food and water last time, so theoretically, you shouldn’t have been contaminated."

Ye Lingyue was delighted to see Huang Jun recovered, yet was equally curious.

"This situation is rather strange. I recall patrolling inside the shrine when I suddenly heard a woman’s voice outside singing, and when I followed the sound, a shadow pounced at me. Then, I lost my senses."

Huang Jun strained to recall.
