Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Too Creepy.

Qi Yue felt her lungs slowly swelling, about to explode.

The yellow silk in her hand gradually bunched up, and when she let go, it was so torn that it was unrecognizable.

“Princely Heir Song Qiyun, do you believe that if you don’t end this game right now, the relationship between you, me, and Donggao will be just like this silk,” she said.

Yellow fragments the size of beans fluttered in the air, forming a blurry barrier between the two.

Finally, a twitch appeared on Song Qiyun’s expressionless face.

“Miss Qi, do you truly think you can still go back?”

Qi Yue gave him a cold glance, not uttering a word as she left the front hall.

Seeing her heading for the door, the two maids Liao Ye and Zhu Ye hurriedly followed.

“Miss Qi, where are you going?”

Qi Yue stopped and gave them a faint look, casting her final gaze toward Song Qiyun in the hall.

“What? Are you planning to imprison me?”

Liao Ye and Zhu Ye anxiously looked at Song Qiyun, then shook their hands repeatedly.

“We are only concerned for Miss Qi’s safety. Wherever you’re going, let us accompany you!”

Qi Yue slightly curled her lips.

“Alright, I was planning to go to Qing Nanzun. I could use your guidance, as I’m not quite sure how to get to Qing Mansion,” she said.

Of course, she knew that Qing Nanzun’s residence was by the Nanxi River; after all, she had been looking at maps these last few days.

She made this statement to inform Song Qiyun.

After all, Song Chengye had previously agreed to her duel with Qing Nanzun, but he had yet to arrange it.

Initially, she had some concerns, as it would mean killing a person of Donggao on their own land.

But once Song Qiyun presented the Emperor’s personal letter, she had no more reservations.

Since she was now a matrimonial figure for both nations, involving their diplomatic relations, killing a person for revenge shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Qi Yue leisurely walked out the main gate of Plum Blossom Villa, with Zhu Ye and Liao Ye already waiting with the carriage and horses at the doorway.

The three of them boarded the carriage, and with a wild dash, they arrived at the marketplace in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

Having not been out in a while, the bustle surprised her at first.

The hawkers’ cries on both sides of the street were no different from the citizens she saw on the streets of Longnan County Government.

Yet, if this were Longnan County Government, the citizens would surely be crowding around to greet her.

“Divine Doctor, have you eaten?”

“Divine Doctor, try the plum wine newly brewed by my family,” they would say.

“Divine Doctor, have a bun…”

“…”

Qi Yue lowered the carriage curtain, feeling a strong sense of nostalgia.

She had to go back.

Neither the damn Emperor of Donggao nor the Emperor of Beiyuan would stop her!

Since when did unrelated individuals decide who she would marry?

The Emperors were truly audacious!

Upon her return, she would first go back to the Capital City and empty the Imperial Palace!

How would that damn Emperor continue to reign?

If she got angry enough, she would strip him of his throne!

And what about the officials who all favored this political marriage?

She wanted to check, which officials were they?

One by one, she would strip their homes bare, leaving them to attend court in nothing but their skin!

Ha ha ha…

“Miss Qi, Qing Nanzun’s residence is just ahead. Should I go ahead and announce our arrival?” Zhu Ye asked, interrupting her cheerful thoughts. Qi Yue pulled back the curtain to look outside and nodded.

“Go ahead. Since it’s a duel we’ve agreed upon, we must announce it.”

“Yes, Miss Qi,” Zhu Ye said.

Soon the carriage stopped, Zhu Ye got off to knock on the door first, and Liao Ye quickly alighted from the carriage, nervously helping Qi Yue down.

The moment her feet touched the ground, Qi Yue felt something was amiss.

There was something weird about this place.

A putrid stench in the bustling market.

Glancing around, she immediately understood.

This street was crawling with bugs…

On a whim, Qi Yue asked Liao Ye to wait where she was while she herself walked toward the Nanxi River along the marketplace.

Turned out, Qing Nanzun’s residence was indeed quite large; part of the estate even included the entire stretch of the Nanxi River.

So domineering!

Is this how the Fox King treats his favorites?

But what are these black insects crawling out from the base of the wall?

Suddenly, an image appeared in Qi Yue’s mind.

A dark insect with three hair-like black spikes on its forehead, erect and distinct.

—Immortal Bug!

Qi Yue looked at the wall before her; this was indeed Qing Nanzun’s residence.

It seemed he had a purpose in stopping Nanxi, likely cultivating a swamp to breed the Immortal Bugs.

“Xuanmen Mystical Art” stated that those black hairs were the Immortal Bug’s antennae, hard as giant rocks!

In this era with no steel needles, comparing it to the strength of giant rocks was quite appropriate.@@novelbin@@

Qi Yue threw a silver needle and struck the Immortal Bug’s neck, thinking it would immobilize it, but unexpectedly, the bug writhed and its head and tail separated, freeing itself from the needle.

The next second, something even more bizarre happened.

The head and tail of the bug that had just separated reconnected, and it twisted away.

Qi Yue was shocked.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have had a hard time believing the scene before her was real.

It seems that Qing Nanzun is indeed not easy to kill!

Frowning, Qi Yue took out a wide-mouth bottle and lured a dozen or so Immortal Bugs into it.

A cluster of bugs gathered together, instantly forming a ball of twine with teeth baring and antennae waving, causing Qi Yue to break out in goosebumps.

She quickly took out a handkerchief and covered the bottle.

It was damn creepy.

Good thing she had her medical assistant, or else she would never want to touch such a thing.

Seeing no one around, she thought for a moment, and instantly tossed the bottle back to the space laboratory.

“Little assistant, this thing is a bit tricky; study it and tell me the result.”

She hoped the assistant could extract something useful or create a life-saving medicine with it; that would be a case of turning waste into treasure.

Having dealt with the matter, and judging that Zhu Ye should have some result after going to knock on the door, she turned and walked back.

Turning the corner, she saw a large group of soldiers at Qing Nanzun’s gate.

Song Chengye and Song Qiyun, father and son, were standing at the forefront.

Additionally, several soldiers in armor crowded around a person sitting in a sedan chair.

This person was younger than Song Chengye, sporting a tuft of shiny black beard, with eyes narrow and long, looking every bit the fox.

Dressed in extravagant brocade that appeared excessive, the hair clasps on his head, and the gold belt around his waist, were all inlaid with white jade as large as pigeon eggs.

Qi Yue curled the corner of her lips.

Is there no weight to that jade, isn’t he afraid of breaking his neck and waist?

She hadn’t expected that Donggao’s well-known Fox King, Song Yuanzhao, would indeed have a fox-like face.

She remembered the rumors saying that the Fox King was very powerful, unrivaled in cunning, with extraordinary wit, a once-in-a-century genius of Donggao who could even unite the four nations.

It’s just that genius had been defeated by Zhao Xiyan more than once.

At the time, she didn’t believe it and now, seeing him for herself, she found herself even more convinced of that saying—rumors are not to be trusted.

This Fox King seemed all show and no substance.

Despite the grand display and pomp, he still couldn’t uphold the noble royal demeanor that he was supposed to have.

Obviously, even Song Qiyun standing by his side seemed more regal.

“Miss Qi, you’ve returned!”

The call from Liao Ye instantly pulled Qi Yue’s thoughts back.

The gaze of everyone present fell on Qi Yue.

Some looked questioning, others curious, and some inscrutable.

Qi Yue was unconcerned, looking back at them openly.

“Are all of you here to watch the battle? I was just worried about not having an audience to witness it!”

Upon hearing this, all their faces flashed with inexplicable expressions, and not a single person spoke.

However, Song Yuanzhao sitting in the sedan chair, narrowed his fox-like eyes, sizing up Qi Yue with a look of interest.

“So this is Miss Qi? Truly the daughter of Qi Yunzhang, you’re remarkable!”

Who doesn’t know how to pay lip service?

Qi Yue slightly curled her lips.

“I’ve long heard of the illustrious name of the Fox King; seeing you today truly lives up to the reputation. Qi Yue presents her respects.”

While she spoke respectfully, her hand didn’t lift in the slightest.

Behind Song Yuanzhao, the four armored soldiers immediately glared, and all four hands pressed on the hilts of their swords at their waists.
