Chapter 1016 - 1002: Demon Doctor

"No matter what the reason is, in the end it was the King who saved us."

Ba’er and the others were extremely excited.

But no matter how Ba’er thought about it, he couldn’t figure out why the King would value their tribe so much and help their tribe.

Because their tribe had always been insignificant; you had to know that their Demon King’s territory was extremely vast, and there were many large tribes near the Magic Snowfield.

The King barely bothered with those large tribes, let alone a medium-sized tribe like theirs.

He always felt there was something he had overlooked.

In the end, the Black Valley Tribe was preserved thanks to the Barrier; the tribe’s Beastmen were all fine and uninjured, and everyone cheered endlessly.

Even though heavy snow was falling from the sky, everyone was still exhilarated.

Seeing that nothing else was happening, Su Muyao and Jing Chu came down from the tree and prepared to go back.

When Ba’er saw Su Muyao, he suddenly seemed to think of something, a flash of light passing through his mind.

He thought to himself, "No way, could it be that it’s because of Miss Su that the Demon King is protecting our tribe?"

He racked his brains but still couldn’t think of anything special about their tribe.

The only special thing was Miss Su.

It seemed that back when he led the caravan into the Demon Realm and they were besieged, it was also their King who suddenly appeared and saved them.

This time as well.

So... so, it was very likely because of Miss Su.

Miss Su was so beautiful, with such outstanding bearing, she didn’t seem like an ordinary female at all.

Could she be the King’s female?

Realizing this, Ba’er’s whole body trembled and his expression drastically changed.

He... he hadn’t been disrespectful to Miss Su, had he?

He carefully thought back and seemed to recall that he hadn’t.

Ba’er quickly walked over to stand in front of Su Muyao, but just as he approached, his knees went out of his control and dropped straight to the ground, "Miss Su."

Su Muyao was taken aback, "Ba’er, get up quickly, why are you kneeling to me?"

Ba’er himself was baffled; he hadn’t meant to kneel, but he was completely out of control.

It was as if the one standing before him was the most powerful Pure Blood Dark Beastman.

One that made Dark Beastmen submit involuntarily.

Previously he could feel that Miss Su’s status was noble, but he had never felt this way; what was happening?

"Thank you, Miss Su, for sheltering our tribe."

Ba’er didn’t ask more; if Miss Su was their King’s female, he had even less right to inquire.

"Miss Su, please rest assured and stay in the tribe. If there is anything you need us to do, just tell us."

"We will use the full strength of the tribe to protect Miss Su."

Looking at Ba’er’s attitude, Su Muyao felt that Ba’er might have guessed something.

As the tribal leader, his mind was naturally fine.

After Su Muyao returned, Ba’er still insisted on sending some food and Beast Skin over.

Even though Su Muyao didn’t need it, Ba’er still insisted, "This is the will of everyone in the tribe, please, Miss Su, you must accept it."

"Otherwise everyone will feel uneasy."

Su Muyao could only accept it.

After they left, Jing Chu spoke up, "They should have guessed it."

"That Barrier was set by Xie Guixue; he should be protecting you."

Su Muyao’s chest felt warm and sore at the same time.

She ached for Xie Guixue and had no idea what to do.

Right now the outside was very dangerous, and she couldn’t rashly leave the tribe.

But if she wanted to see Xie Guixue again, would she have to wait for the system to awaken and then use the System Power?

Or wait until Xie Guixue came and then ask him some things?

But before Su Muyao could think it through, that night, when she turned over in bed, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When she sat up, she saw Jing Chu sitting at the edge of the bed, his head lowered as he was sewing something.

"Jing Chu, why aren’t you sleeping, what are you doing?"

Su Muyao reached out to touch Jing Chu, only to find that his body was a bit cold, and his figure was somewhat transparent.

"Jing Chu, what’s wrong with you?"

Su Muyao was practically frightened out of her wits.

Jing Chu looked deeply at Su Muyao, reached out to gently stroke her hair, and explained, "It’s the restriction of the Divine Domain’s rules; they’re summoning me back."

He could sense the reason.

"Wife, I’m sorry, I broke my promise."

Jing Chu looked at Su Muyao, his eyes full of reluctant attachment and guilt.

He had said he wouldn’t leave her, that he would always stay by her side.

But now he couldn’t do it.

He hadn’t expected that after the Divine Domain’s rules were repaired, he would no longer be able to remain in the mortal world for long.

Especially here in the Demon Realm, where the rules rejected him even more.

So the Divine Domain was summoning him back.

The one he couldn’t stop worrying about the most was Su Muyao.

Su Muyao grabbed Jing Chu in a tight hug, "How could it be like this."

She had grown used to Jing Chu being by her side.

After returning from the dream realm, if Jing Chu hadn’t stayed with her, her emotions would definitely have been a mess.

Su Muyao’s eyes reddened, "Will you come back again?"

"I will."

Jing Chu said softly, "I’ve set up a Barrier around the house; without your permission, no one can enter at will."

"There’s also a Barrier outside the tribe; it’s relatively safe."

"And this."

As he spoke, Jing Chu handed a piece of Reversed Scale to Su Muyao, "This is a Reversed Scale from my body; it can be used as a weapon."

Looking at the Reversed Scale in his hand, Su Muyao’s chest throbbed with pain.

She knew this was the hardest part of a snake’s body, and at the same time an extremely important scale; pulling it out would be very painful.

Yet at this moment Jing Chu looked utterly calm and indifferent.

"It must hurt a lot."

Jing Chu comforted her gently, "It doesn’t hurt."

Su Muyao said, "And I already have the Snake God’s逆鳞 here."

Jing Chu still insisted on giving the Reversed Scale to Su Muyao, "It’s different; at a critical moment it can protect you."

"And this is clothing made from my Snake Shedding; it has defensive power."

The Snake Shedding after he had Become God was different from when he was still in the mortal world.

Clothes made from it, worn on her body, would protect her.

Only then did Su Muyao realize that Jing Chu hadn’t been sleeping; he was sewing clothes for her.

Tears flashed in her eyes; she clutched Jing Chu’s sleeve tightly, not wanting him to leave.

But she also knew this wasn’t something she could stop; under the Rule Power, no one could resist.

Jing Chu’s chest hurt terribly as well; he carefully instructed Su Muyao on many things, "At night, cover yourself more, don’t kick off the blanket, and when you burn charcoal for heat, remember to keep the air flowing..."

There were too many things he couldn’t stop worrying about.

He always felt Su Muyao didn’t really know how to take care of herself, and he was uneasy about everything.

But before he could finish speaking, a force suddenly enveloped him completely, and the next moment Jing Chu vanished from where he stood.

A tear slid from the corner of Su Muyao’s eye.

But she forced herself to wipe away her tears, "I can’t let him worry, I have to take good care of myself."

Still, Su Muyao couldn’t fall back asleep. Holding the Snake Shedding Clothes Jing Chu had left behind, her heart felt stuffy and aching.

...

For several days in a row, even though Su Muyao was making an effort to take care of herself, her overall Spirit state wasn’t right.

While she was in that condition, Ba’er brought a piece of news, "Miss Su, the Demon Palace is recruiting Demon Doctors. Miss Su, your medical skills are excellent; you can go to the Demon Palace and take a position."

"It’s said the Demon Palace is very big and especially well-insulated against the cold. If you can live in the Demon Palace, you’ll eat well and live well."

"And Demon Doctors are rare; Demon Doctors are very respected."

Ba’er felt that since the Demon King cared so much about Miss Su, if Miss Su went to the Demon Palace, she could reunite with the King.

Besides, Miss Su’s medical skills really were superb.

If any Beastman in the tribe had a headache or fever, Miss Su would prepare Magic Potions and treat everyone.

When she heard this news, Su Muyao’s Heart String trembled; her face turned pale, "But who in the Demon Palace has something wrong?"

"I don’t know. I only know that the Great Elder issued an order to find Demon Doctors with good medical skills; as for who they’ll be treating, that we don’t know."

Su Muyao was worried that it was Xie Guixue who had a problem, "All right, I’ll go to the Demon Palace. Are we leaving now?"

Ba’er waved his hand, "No, no, the Demon Palace’s messenger birds will deliver a message. Once the message is sent back, the Demon Palace’s Demon Guard will come specifically to escort the Demon Doctors."
