Miracle Doctor Miss Jiu

Chapter 59: The First Collection of Sacrificial Offerings (Part 2)

Thump—

Ye Hui fell like a broken kite and crashed his head into the trunk of a tree. Just like that, he passed out in a most spectacular way.

Lu Jiu Que finally couldn’t endure the pain that made her feel as though her soul was being scorched, and a soft murmur escaped her mouth. When she opened her eyes again, they had turned silver, looking just like dazzling stars.

“Awoo—” She raised her head and let out a long howl, interspersed with the cries of a dragon and imbued with the divine power of ancient times, that slowly reverberated and spread out…

The whole Ailao Mountain range, no, the whole boundless forest, was absorbed in this mighty force. Even the star-grade demonic beasts who had remained dormant in the deepest regions of the woods were all shivering in fear.

They all turned to face the direction where Lu Jiu Que was, then knelt down to acknowledge their allegiance to her. Their eyes were full of reverence.

Such a scene was comparable to the descent of a beastly god!

However, despite being the central figure of this entire event, Lu Jiu Que wasn’t aware of it at all.

At this time, she was fighting against some kind of power.

There was a wind, and it had settled itself by Lu Jiu Que’s side.

Looking carefully, one would find that it was streams of soul fire that were seized by the dragon’s power!

They were forcibly dragged into Lu Jiu Que’s body, where they slowly disappeared from sight.

It was all because of these soul fires that Lu Jiu Que was in such excruciating pain.

A soul fire might have been a great tonic, but her petite body wasn’t necessarily able to able to bear its effects.

When everything returned to a peaceful and calm state, Lu Jiu Que’s body went limp, and she fell to the ground heavily.

At this moment, she was covered in blood, and there were also some impurities in her blood.

As a medical practitioner herself, she obviously felt like her body had been put under extreme trauma.

Just a moment ago, she had been predicting that Ling Han wouldn’t be able to survive because of his damaged heart and lungs. Now, was she any better off than Ling Han?

Lu Jiu Que smiled bitterly. Could it be that… Her insignificant life was going to say its goodbyes here as well?

At this point in time, Lu Jiu Que froze again.

Wait a minute, what was this vitality flowing around in her body?

It was as if her entire body was immersed in a hot spring. There was an indescribable sense of comfort. She could feel that she was moving out of the danger zone, bit by bit, and upon recovery, the passages through which vital energy circulated, including her bones, all seemed to be much stronger and more resilient than before.

From life to death, then from death to life, could such serious things be so casual?

Lu Jiu Que was utterly speechless. Her experience that day was something special…

If Lu Jiu Que had the ability of inward vision, she would have discovered that there was a purple bead that had settled itself in her diaphragm. It was the glow of this bead that had healed her again.

Lu Jiu Que’s injury was caused by the silver dragon devouring the sacrificial offering.

The funny thing was, whether it was the silver dragon or this bead, both came from the Great Demon King!

The truth was, she was essentially a slave who was unable to put up any resistance. She would live if the Great Demon King allowed her to live, and she had to die if he dictated otherwise.

After Lu Jiu Que was able to move again, she immediately jumped into the water next to her. She thoroughly washed away all the dirt and blood stains from her body, then she ran over to save Ye Hui with her silver needles.

Ye Hui quivered and opened his eyes, then shouted loudly, “Lu Jiu Que!”

Lu Jiu Que’s body was hidden in the dark, and she said with displeasure, “I’m not dead yet. Why are you shouting so loudly? Aren’t you afraid you’ll call that demonic beast over with that loud voice?”

“You… What happened to you just now?”

Lu Jiu Que scoffed internally. Though she didn’t know why she had survived, she was sure that she had heard the cry of a dragon.

She was just guessing, but could the reason why she’d had to go through that excruciating pain earlier on be because the Great Demon King’s silver dragon was devouring the sacrificial offering?

Just what exactly was this sacrificial offering? The soul of a dead person?

Could it be that, in the future, she would have to suffer such agony every time she made a sacrificial offering?
