Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Six-fingered People

Qi Yue snorted coldly.

“Princely Heir Song Qiyun, have you forgotten that I am a Divine Doctor? Even if the issue really were acclimatization problems, I would have already taken care of it. There’s no need for the Princely Heir to bother.”

Song Qiyun responded unhurriedly, “I often hear that physicians cannot heal themselves. Even if Miss Qi’s medical skills are extraordinary, there must be something that has been overlooked.”

At this point, Liao Ye also joined in to persuade her.

“Miss, the Princely Heir has good intentions. Why don’t you let the doctor take a look? Our doctors from Donggao are quite skilled as well!”

At that moment, someone from outside came to report that the doctor had arrived.

Following that, a somewhat chubby middle-aged man with a short beard walked in.

“Miss Qi, since the doctor is already here, it would be rude to send him back without even seeing him, wouldn’t it? Why not let him have a look?” Song Qiyun’s gaze at her still held a pure determination.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.

Her instincts were not wrong.

Song Qiyun was doing this deliberately.

But why was he so insistent on having this doctor examine her? Was it to poison her?

That would be too clumsy, wouldn’t it?

Or was there another intention?

Qi Yue looked at the doctor seated at the lower end; he carried a medicine box on his back and was dressed like a doctor.

But what was odd was that her sensitive nose couldn’t detect the distinctive medicinal scent that a doctor should carry.

Generally, a doctor would be steeped in the scent of herbs all year round, carrying it on them.

Like she did.

And this doctor was not young; after decades, it would be impossible for him to not carry even a hint of the smell of medicine on him.

Something was fishy!

By this time, the short-bearded middle-aged man had stepped forward and given her a courteous bow.

“Miss Qi, please extend your hand so that I can give you a diagnosis.”

Fuck you!

Qi Yue cursed inwardly, didn’t extend her hand, but instead extended her leg and kicked the middle-aged man with the short beard, sending him flying out the door.

She had clearly seen that the man had an extra little finger on each hand, which meant he had six fingers on each hand, adding up to twelve in total.

He was definitely not a doctor but was most likely an alchemist.

Knowing this, she had to thank Murong Mingyue.

In the local gazetteer of Dongjiang that he had shown her, there was a description of this.

In these parts, six-fingered people were considered to possess some mysterious power and were naturally suited to be alchemists.

They could help people exorcise demons, dispel evil spirits, and drive out negativity.

There were even claims that just by being grasped by a six-fingered person, one could know about their past lives and memories.

Although she didn’t believe these six-fingered people were that capable, as the saying goes, better safe than sorry.

After all, she had witnessed many strange things here.

Song Gensheng was impervious to swords and spears, Qing Nanzun was supposedly immortal, and there were wondrous creatures like the White Rhino.

And her, why did she come to this world?

And why did she possess a space-defying magical artifact?

All of these were already inexplicable matters.

What if this six-fingered man did possess some strange ability and discovered her secrets? That would be disastrous.

“Ah!”

The middle-aged man with the short beard screamed in agony as he was kicked out and landed in the courtyard outside.

The medicine box he had been carrying also fell to the ground not too far away.

Thankfully, it was well-locked, and none of its contents were exposed.

This unexpected turn of events left the servants around them stunned.

Even Song Qiyun was taken aback.

Qi Yue sneered inwardly.

She enjoyed seeing the look of surprise on peoples’ faces when they encountered the unexpected.

Song Qiyun had no chance of scheming against Shen Yu.

She had used her Innate Divine Strength in that kick, and it meant that the short-bearded old man wouldn’t be long for this world even if he didn’t die immediately.

How dare they try to plot against her without considering their own abilities!

However, on the surface, she still feigned an astonished expression.

“Oh, my apologies, I must have misheard just now, I thought the doctor had said to stick out my foot! What shall we do now, oh right, the doctor’s medical box should have some medicine, right? Eating it quickly should be able to save his life, shouldn’t it?”

Saying this, she left the room, planning to pick up the medical box and see what exactly was inside.

Little did she expect that just as she stepped out, Song Qiyuan followed suit.

He glanced at Liao Ye and said coldly, “What are you standing around for? Why haven’t you helped the doctor out?”

“Yes, Princely Heir.”

Liao Ye ran off like a shot, and immediately two guards came in and carried the man away.

Silence once again enveloped the courtyard.

The sunlight filtered through the loquat trees by the porch, sprinkling golden specks onto the stairs, spreading all the way to the hem of Song Qiyuan’s robe.

It presented a kind of special elegance.

Now that it had come to this, some things no longer needed to be said aloud.

The stark aesthetic that Song Qiyun had left in her heart that night shattered into pieces in this moment, turning to ash in the sunlight.

Qi Yue sighed and met Song Qiyuan’s still undisturbed eyes.

“Princely Heir Qiyuan, please leave. If there’s nothing else, you shouldn’t come again. Also, there’s one more thing, please convey to King Ye that it’s about time to schedule the showdown with Qing Nanzun. If King Ye doesn’t have the time or it’s inconvenient for him, I’ll arrange it myself.”

After she spoke, she entered her room and with a “clang” shut the door.

Song Qiyun stood at the doorway for a while before leaving.

Qi Yue originally thought Song Qiyuan would not come again, given that his true intentions had been exposed—the pretense was unnecessary.

Unexpectedly, he showed up the very next day as usual.

However, Qi Yue did not meet him, and he did not force his way into the courtyard, just sat in Cuiyun Pavilion for a while before leaving.

This continued for about seven or eight days, during which Qi Yue was busy studying the Donggao maps.

Early one morning, Qi Yue was practicing with her sword in the backyard when Liao Ye reported to her, nearly causing her to accidentally cut down the frail little maid.

“Miss, spare my life, spare my life. I’ve already told the Princely Heir, but I couldn’t stop him!”

Zhu Ye also fell to the ground trembling, looking terrified.

Qi Yue looked at the blade resting on Liao Ye’s neck and curled her lips slightly.

Another millimeter and blood would have been drawn.

Ever since the day she had kicked the fake doctor out, Liao Ye and Zhu Ye had been very respectful.

Especially Zhu Ye, who no longer flirted or dressed up.

Look at them, coming to serve her early in the morning without even dressing or grooming, so attentive.

Qi Yue silently sheathed her sword, and Liao Ye collapsed, nearly bursting into tears then and there.

Qi Yue couldn’t be bothered with her and instead turned to look at the kneeling Zhu Ye.@@novelbin@@

“Zhu Ye, what are you lying down for? Get up, make yourself presentable, how can you meet the Princely Heir like this?”

“I dare not.”

“What do you mean you dare not? When I tell you to go, you go. Do you still have the rouge and face powder from last time? Go to my desk and get another set, hurry up.”

Zhu Ye, shocked, looked up to see Qi Yue smiling as she wiped her hand on her sword, and it took her quite some time to carry out the task.

Qi Yue methodically cleaned the double swords, put them away in their sheaths, and took them with her to the front courtyard.

Through the partitioned flower wall of the front hall, she saw a white shadow, knowing it was Song Qiyuan, and without a word, went into the house to change.

After tidying herself, she realized the clothing was the same one her former mother-in-law, Shen Yu, had made for her.

The outfit, devoid of complicated patterns and with a smart design, fitted her tastes perfectly.

Importantly, Shen Yu had considered her habit of carrying a sword and had specifically added an extra tie on the left side, which not only achieved a certain visual balance but also added a touch of valor.

At that time, she was still carrying the Firewood Chopping Knife.

This thought couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth into a smile.

After a moment’s consideration, she decided to put away the double swords and take out her spare Tang Sword.

Suddenly, her heart gave a wild leap and her mind cleared a fog!

She knew why Song Qiyun had become suspicious of her.
