Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1301 - 361: First Approach

Ye Lingyue, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that she had been discovered and no longer avoided, walking out leisurely.

"I didn’t expect that the Merfolk King would have such a keen interest in releasing flower lanterns. But it seems that the person you were supposed to meet tonight has stood you up again."

In the solitary night, the blue-haired, blue-eyed Demigod Beast Merfolk King stood by the riverbank, like a painting, quite pleasing to the eye.

Ye Lingyue hadn’t expected that the Merfolk King, who was summoned by Luo Qian, would also enjoy such festival activities like releasing flower lanterns and appear in such a place alone.

Earlier, she had been a little curious, thinking that the Merfolk King would come here with a romantic partner to release lanterns.

Just now, she gave the merchant some Spirit Stones, and the merchant told her that the Merfolk King bought a flower lantern and requested the name "Luo Qixue" be written on it.

Judging by the name, Luo Qixue should be the name of a woman from the Human Clan.

Moreover, according to the vendor, this wasn’t the first time the Merfolk King had bought flower lanterns from him.

Over the past twenty years, at this time of year, the Merfolk King always bought a flower lantern with the same name written on it.

Apart from his identity as an Alien Race, looking from a woman’s perspective, the Merfolk King was indeed an attractive man.

The Merfolk King before her had transformed into human form. His tall posture, blue hair and blue eyes, were like a Luminous Pearl from the Deep Sea, shining brightly.

Such a man actually gets stood up by a woman?

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but feel frustrated for the Merfolk King.

"She didn’t stand me up. She just couldn’t come anymore."

The Merfolk King said, casually flicking the flower lantern in his hand. The lotus-shaped lantern drifted elegantly in the water, like a blooming lotus flower, beautiful yet lonely, especially compared to the distant pairs of flower lanterns.

After releasing the flower lanterns, the Merfolk King turned to leave.

"Merfolk King, I don’t understand why you help someone like Luo Qian. You know very well he is not a good person. He has never regarded the Water Clan as his subordinates; in his eyes, they are merely tools for killing. Is it only for some elusive mythical legend that you entrust the future of the Water Clan to someone like Luo Qian?"

Ye Lingyue quite admired this Merfolk King, but somehow, she felt an indescribable sadness emanating from him.

"At someone’s request. I don’t care who you are, but, regarding the Whale People, just this once."

As the Merfolk King passed by Ye Lingyue, he said lightly.

By the time Ye Lingyue snapped back to reality, he had already disappeared.

Could it be?

Had the Merfolk King discovered she had meddled with the Whale People?

As a night breeze blew past the riverbank, Ye Lingyue was surprised, breaking into a cold sweat.

Yet, why didn’t the Merfolk King tell Luo Qian the truth if he knew it?

Logically, a Summoned Beast should be absolutely loyal to its master. Or, perhaps, is the Merfolk King not truly loyal to Luo Qian, but rather... fulfilling a request?

Who requested him to help Luo Qian, to help the City Lord’s Mansion?

To the Merfolk King, that person must be very important, important enough for him to go against his own will.

During the day, although the Merfolk King did not stop the massacre, Ye Lingyue could see that when Luo Qian ordered the slaughter of the Whale-man Warriors, the words of persuasion had an impact on the Merfolk King.

Someone willing to wait for more than twenty years, unwavering and faithful, even if only a Demigod Beast, is certainly not a malicious person at heart.

Ye Lingyue pondered as she reached the riverbank.

A wave of Primordial Power caused the already distant flower lantern to drift back to her hand, revealing the name "Luo Qixue" within. Her pupils narrowed slightly.

If she remembered correctly, Senior Sister Wan Yun had mentioned that the surname Luo belongs to the City Lord’s Mansion. In Shui City, only those with direct lineage who inherit the Water God Bloodline can bear the surname Luo.

Is the person the Merfolk King is waiting for also from the City Lord’s Mansion?

"Luo Qixue, it seems I should inquire about this name at the City Lord’s Mansion."

Ye Lingyue thought thoughtfully as she casually sent the flower lantern back into the water.

The unexpected encounter with the Merfolk King had delayed Ye Lingyue quite a bit. She remembered her agreement with Senior Sister Wan Yun and quickly headed towards the bustling area of the city.

From afar, she saw Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun squeezed in among the crowd, ready to greet them.

But just then, a burst of cheerful applause erupted.

A melodious sound of bells echoed like music falling from the divine heavens.

Ye Lingyue looked in the direction of the music, and her vision blurred.

In the middle of the street, unbeknownst to anyone, a high flower terrace had been set up.

Above it was a troupe of performing arts, in the midst of a performance.

At that moment, a female dancer was performing solo, with long black hair, skin whiter than snow, and bright, beautiful eyes. She wore the Water God’s blessing skirt of Shui City’s Goddess of Water.

The silk skirt, flowing like rivers, was adorned with quietly blooming lotus flowers. The dancer’s waist moved like a serpent, incredibly agile, her limbs long and graceful, each gesture carrying an indescribable allure.

"Such a captivating woman."

Ye Lingyue was secretly surprised, as the woman on stage seemed like a magnetic stone, capturing everyone’s gaze.

Looking around, both men and women were staring in disbelief.

Even Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun were the same.

Especially Qin Xiaochuan, his eyes seemed on the verge of falling out.

He swallowed hard, shaking Huang Jun next to him vigorously.

"Huang Jun, pinch me quickly, am I dreaming?"

This... this girl was the same female dancer they encountered earlier at the city gate.

Earlier, when Qin Xiaochuan released flower lanterns, he had been praying to meet her, and unexpectedly, he truly encountered her on the street.

"Ow!" Qin Xiaochuan screamed, only to discover Ye Lingyue beside him, pinching him hard.

"Fourth Brother, you’ve lost your soul. What’s wrong, fancy the girl? Why don’t I help you, be your matchmaker?"

Ye Lingyue smiled teasingly.

Usually, it was Qin Xiaochuan who teased her and Di Shen, but now, it was finally her turn to tease him back.

Ye Lingyue was initially joking, thinking Qin Xiaochuan would flee, but unexpectedly, Qin Xiaochuan listened with a face full of hope.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, it’s all up to you. You must find out the girl’s name and address for me."

Qin Xiaochuan blushing, looking like an overly ripe tomato.

This made Ye Lingyue a bit anxious; Qin Xiaochuan actually wanted to court someone?

Water once spilled cannot be undone. Ye Lingyue had no choice but to bite the bullet, looking at the unbelievably beautiful female dancer, wondering how to approach and speak without seeming abrupt.
