Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1365: Chapter 425: Mother and Son, Father and Son

"Dao Ge, I’ve heard that the borders of Daxia have been unstable lately?"

"Indeed, a mysterious group of Beast Clan has appeared in the grassland area, causing the deaths of many citizens. Emperor Xia initially planned to send Nie Fengxing, but his wife has just conceived their second child. The Emperor has already asked for my opinion, and I plan to lead the army to quell the unrest."

Following Lan Yingwu, Dao Ge and Nie Fengxing have become leading figures in the Younger Generation of Daxia, growing into pillars of the nation.

After marrying Nie Fengxing, Ye Huangyu had a son and has recently conceived again.

"I’ll go with you."

Lan Cai’er suddenly stood up, her face illuminated by a different kind of radiance.

"You? But Cai’er, aren’t you worried..."

Dao Ge was speechless.

"Don’t forget I am a daughter of the Lan Family. Little Jiu Nian has begun his journey of personal training in the Ancient Nine Provinces. As a mother, I should also have my own battlefield."

The spirited Lan Cai’er seemed to have returned. Only by continuously growing could she overcome the numerous challenges ahead.

Compared to Ling Yue who, for Di Shen, was willing to go to the Ancient Nine Provinces, she, Lan Cai’er, as a sister, was indeed inferior.

Her strength was not yet enough to venture to the Ancient Nine Provinces, so she stayed on the Qing Province Continent, waiting for her family and loved ones to return, even if it meant growing old with white hair.

Lan Cai’er buried her thoughts of her son and Yan Jiu, beginning her own journey.

The only thing she could do was silently pray in her heart, facing the distant horizon.

"Yan Jiu, I only hope that you can reunite with our son in the Demon World soon. His name is Jiunian... I’m sorry, I didn’t even have the chance to tell him his father was Yan Jiu, an extraordinary demon."

The wind carried a mother’s sincerest prayers to places unknown.

On the desolate Demon Road of the Demon World, a little boy stood beneath the sky, gazing out towards the horizon.

"Jiunian, are you thinking of your mother again?"

The little tiger Chi Chi, carrying a piece of bloody meat, ran up to Little Jiu Nian. Its fiery red fur resembled a burning Little Sun.

Little Jiu Nian glanced at the bloody meat, refrained from speaking, and suppressed his nausea, began to devour the meat.

The demon beast meat is different from the meat on the Qing Province Continent. Consumed raw, it has an overwhelming stench and a coarse texture, like grit dancing in his mouth, causing his teeth discomfort.

But Little Jiu Nian continued to swallow it, knowing the blood and flesh of these demon beasts were effective in fortifying his physique.

Little Jiu Nian had been in the Central Plains Region for over a month, growing rapidly like wild grass in spring. Though only three years old, he looked about the size of a six or seven-year-old child. His body’s alertness and senses were increasing at a remarkable speed.

Little Jiu Nian understood well, and Chi Chi probably knew this too, insisting he eat demon beast meat.

"I’ve been away from home for a long time. My mother must be very angry."

Little Jiu Nian and Chi Chi had been in the Central Plains Region, heading towards the Demon World for a month now.

This was also Little Jiu Nian’s first time being away from home for so long.

The longing for his mother, grandparents had troubled Little Jiu Nian day and night in the initial days.

But soon, he was forced to abandon these thoughts.

The closer they got to the Demon World entrance, the greater and more frequent the dangers faced by him and Chi Chi.

Little Jiu Nian’s chubby little face, after a month of difficult trek, had lost some plumpness, but the light in his eyes was even brighter.

His small body was marked with countless wounds, both large and small.

Some of these wounds were from thorns of passing Demon Grass, others from beast attacks.

But no matter how severe, Little Jiu Nian never shed a tear. When pain was intense, he licked his wounds, refusing to let Chi Chi help heal them because he knew that while Chi Chi’s sorcery was powerful, it was young and couldn’t use much Demon Art.

Moreover, using Demon Art could attract attacks from other Demon Clans against Chi Chi.

He must protect Chi Chi, even if his strength was not as great as Chi Chi’s.

Despite not having Yan Jiu’s company, growing up in the Lan Residence, the elders beside him, whether Lan Yingwu or godfather Dao Ge, taught him from a young age that a man must protect women.

Chi Chi, though a demon beast, was also a mother beast.

Little Jiu Nian naturally did not want Chi Chi to take risks.

Seeing Little Jiu Nian swallow the raw meat, Chi Chi blinked.

This Human Clan boy was stronger than expected.

He clearly detested eating raw meat, but to prevent the fire seed from attracting demon beasts, he journeyed, eating raw with Chi Chi.

At first, he even vomited bile water and had diarrhea, but now, he could eat a piece of raw meat without even furrowing his brow.

Humans seemed not as fragile or as despicable as older brother said...

"How much longer before we enter the Demon World and reach Beiyu Palace?"

After filling his belly, Little Jiu Nian glanced ahead at the seemingly never-ending Demon Road.

"Probably another day before reaching the Demon World. Technically, you only need to get me to the entrance of the Demon World, why do you want to go to Beiyu Palace? Aren’t you afraid?"

Chi Chi, also filled, with its round belly, comfortably lay on Little Jiu Nian, asking him to brush its fur.

Little Jiu Nian was silent; his reason for heading to Beiyu Palace was simple.

One reason was getting Chi Chi there safely, another was wanting to inquire about news regarding his father at Beiyu Palace.

Little Jiu Nian knew very little about his father, not even his name or appearance.

But Little Jiu Nian knew his father was a demon, and a formidable one.

No one told Little Jiu Nian this fact; he discovered he had Demon Blood on his own.

When very young, he was once angrily defending against taunts from Imperial College children calling him a bastard, leading him to fight five or six Imperial College children.

They were older children, and Little Jiu Nian was badly beaten. But at the most critical moment, strange patterns appeared on his face, a thought emerged - kill them, eat their meat, drink their blood.

When he came to, those children were already on the ground.

He was also covered in wounds. Alone, he hid and slept in the Imperial College overnight, but when he woke, his injuries were healed.

The children he injured, however, lay bedridden for three months.

For this incident, Little Jiu Nian was grounded by Lan Yingwu for three months.

From that time, Little Jiu Nian understood he was different from others and began to question his origins.
