Divine Doctor Abandoned Girl

Chapter 40



Chapter 40: Great Comeback

“The Song family hunted five advanced wild beasts, twenty-five intermediate wild beasts, and fifty beginner wild beasts.”

“The Ye family hunted three advanced wild beasts, twenty intermediate wild beasts, and twenty beginner wild beasts.”

“The Long Breeze Martial Arts Hall hunted…”

After Town Leader Liu had counted all the wild beasts, the Ye family members all wore disappointed expressions. On the other hand, the Song family members were all cheering. They would win the Autumn Maple town mountain hunt again!

“In the triennial mountain hunt, the winner this year is…” Town Leader Liu had yet to finish speaking when someone stopped him.

“Please wait. There are still some changes to the final count.” When Ye Lingyue appeared before everyone, they were all shocked.

Everyone from the Ye family all surrounded her.

Ye Lingyue glanced at everyone. Big Cousin Ye Sheng nursed an injury while everyone else looked dejected.

The Ye family members had been guilty about causing Ye Lingyue’s ‘death,’ especially Ye Qing and the other two. They all understood that if Ye Lingyue didn’t sacrifice herself to the silver-clawed eagle king towards the end, they would all have died at the bottom of the cliff.

That was why when they saw that Ye Lingyue was still alive, everyone was happy from the bottom of their heart.

Was everyone… worried for her? At this thought, warmth filled Ye Lingyue’s heart a little. This was the first time that her Ye family showed her some warmth.

“Miss Ye, it’s great that you’re alright. Everyone had been worrying about you for the past few days.” Town Leader Liu glanced at Ye Lingyue and thought that it was a miracle. Compared to when he saw her at the start of the hunt, this Ye family little girl looked more energetic and the elementary force that surrounded her grew stronger. It also seemed that her abilities had greatly improved.

“Lingyue! It’s great that you’re alright. If you weren’t, I don’t know how to face the Master and Third Aunt after we return home…” When Ye Sheng saw Lingyue, guilt suddenly filled his eyes, and his voice sounded choked.

He was the leader of their entourage this time. If Lingyue had died, he really couldn’t face the elders in their family anymore.

Seeing that Ye Lingyue was still alive even after falling down the abyss, and yet Song Han’s death was still unknown, the Song family members’ expressions looked even worse.

Song Guangyi especially. He directed his eyes towards Ye Lingyue and they were as dark as a poisonous snake.

“Town Leader, the Ye family’s hunt needs to be counted once more.” Ye Lingyue didn’t forget what she came for. She glanced at the animal carcasses on the floor and understood the situation.

“Oh? Did Miss Ye manage to hunt other animals?” Town Leader Liu asked.

The Song family members were indifferent. She was merely an immature girl. How would she be able to hand over more hunts with her capability alone?

“I have a silver-clawed eagle king and an unknown monster that the Town Leader needs to assess,” Ye Lingyue said as she took out the claws of the silver-clawed eagle king and a piece of skin she tore off from the monster.

It wouldn’t be easy for her to bring two gigantic monsters with her when she climbed up the abyss, so she just extracted their claws and skin and brought them along.

During the mountain hunt, extracting the main parts of the wild beasts had become an unspoken habit.

“These are the claws of a silver-clawed eagle king and as for this skin… It’s the skin of a spiritual beast, one at the peak of the fourth-level. It is a golden crow snake. Miss Ye, please tell me where you found this spiritual beast.” Old Town Leader Liu carefully looked at that beast skin, before his eyelids trembled. Even his expression morphed into a shocked one.

When was there a spiritual beast at the peak of its fourth-level present in Seven Stars Mountain? This was monumental news!

A fourth-level peak spiritual beast?

The Ye family, who had already lost hopes of winning the mountain hunt, were first shocked upon hearing Town Leader Liu’s words. They then all broke out into a loud cheer afterward.

A fourth-level spiritual beast! It was a fourth-level spiritual beast! Even if it was a first-level beast, it would be enough to win over countless advanced-level wild beasts.

On the other hand, the Song family members turned pale, looking even worse than if their fathers were dead.

“Town Leader, did you make a mistake? A spiritual beast never appeared in the Seven Stars mountain before!” Song Guangyi was not willing to give up.

“Are you saying that I assessed it wrongly?” Old Town Leader Liu unhappily glared at Song Guangyi. The latter instantly shut up, not daring to say anymore.

In the end, Old Town Leader and Ye Sheng went together to the cave by the cliff and found the bodies of the silver-clawed eagle king and the golden crow snake. With the power of the fourth-level spiritual beast, the Ye family managed to come from behind and clinched the top place for the mountain hunt.

“Lingyue, it’s all thanks to you this time.”

“Lingyue, marvelous job!”

Ye Sheng and Ye Ying both glanced at each other before they carried Ye Lingyue up to put her on their shoulders. They all cheered as they walked down the mountain.

Seeing that they were escorting Ye Lingyue back to the Ye family, Ye Qing’s eyes filled with envy and admiration at the same time. No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, Ye Qing knew very well that he had lost completely to Ye Lingyue after the mountain hunt.

Seven Stars mountain regained its peace. Old Town Leader Liu bowed respectfully beside a horse carriage.

“Master, I’ve followed your instructions and counted that golden crow snake under the Ye family’s score.” With Town Leader Liu’s experience, how could he not tell that Ye Lingyue didn’t kill that fourth-level peak golden crow snake?

“Investigate all of Ye Lingyue’s information.” In the carriage, the golden-masked man smirked as he played with the wooden name tag carved with Ye Lingyue’s name.

She had an ancient spiritual beast and had a special physique to be able to touch poison. ‘Ye Lingyue, who are you exactly?’

Ye Lingyue, who was currently sitting on her cousins’ shoulders, suddenly felt a shiver trail down the back of her spine. She turned back but saw nothing. Still, she couldn’t help but shiver.

The news of the Ye family overturning their defeat and winning reached the Ye family in an instant.

This result shocked the entire Ye family. After all, Ye Gu heard that the Song family’s Song Guangyi had broken through to the eighth level of body tempering. Their Ye Sheng, who was the strongest amongst those that went on behalf of the Ye family, was only at the seventh level of body tempering.

Comparing the two, they differed vastly from capabilities alone; hence why their victory surprised Ye Gu this time.

It was definitely a great surprise for the Ye family to be able to win without Ye Liuyun helping them.

In Qiaochu Wing, Ye Fengyu, who had been waiting desperately for three days, finally sighed in relief.

The Ye family master, Ye Gu, and his family were also all waiting in front of their estate.

“You did great! Everyone did well this time. Everyone who took part in the mountain hunt will have their monthly allowances doubled. Apart from this, you can all get a weapon from the Ye family’s treasure pavilion.” Hearing their victory made Ye Gu forget all about the unhappiness he received from his birthday banquet.

This time, the Song family had lost the first mining rights to the largest mining area in the Seven Stars Mountain, and they lost Song Han as well. It was really satisfying.

“Grandpa, we have to thank Lingyue this time.” The moment Ye Sheng returned to the Ye family, he retold the entire story from top to end. The danger they experienced made Ye Gu’s expression change instantly.
