Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Chapter 4

The enigmatic man arched his eyebrows, struggling to steady his turbulent emotions as those profound obsidian-black eyes fixed on him with icy chill, nearly freezing him in place. He longed to shatter her serene poise and disrupt her rhythm! This girl defied belief—how could she stay so composed amid such chaos?

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die,” he assured her softly.

“Send me home,” she replied curtly.

Given her severe injuries, the wisest and sole practical choice for him was to return her to her so-called ‘home’.

Flashing a roguish grin, he leaned in and pressed a kiss right between Wu Xie’s eyebrows.

“As you wish,” he murmured with a chuckle.

The little black cat lurking deep within Wu Xie froze in shock—its mistress had just been brazenly taken advantage of!

.....

Jun Wu Xie felt the world around her dimming gradually as she plunged into oblivion. When consciousness returned, her long lashes quivered open, revealing her position on a cozy, warm bed in an extravagantly furnished chamber.

An elderly white-haired man sat beside her bed. The moment he noticed her stirring awake, his face burst into a radiant smile as he exclaimed: “Silly girl, you’re finally awake! Don’t terrify your Grandfather like that!”

“Silly girl, it’s merely a contractual spirit. So what if you lack one? Who do you think I am? I’m the mighty Lin Wang! I’ll back you up through anything. No need to fear!” Jun Xian declared with a huff.

Grandfather?

Wu Xie creased her forehead as fragments of the body’s memories surged through her mind. The old man at her bedside was none other than the Kingdom of Qi’s Lin Wang—her grandfather, Jun Xian.

The “contractual spirit” that Jun Xian referenced was a phenomenon exclusive to this realm.

Upon birth in this world, contractual spirits forge a pact with the human soul, slumbering within until awakening at age fourteen. A ring manifests on the ring finger of the right hand; these spirits represent soul evolutions, unique in form for each individual. Some solidify into formidable weapons, others transform into fearsome beasts.

Just days prior marked Jun Wu Xie’s fourteenth birthday, when her spiritual awakening should have occurred—yet the entire day passed without event...

From that moment, she was branded a waste.

In a realm where destiny hinges on the power of one’s contractual spirit, those devoid of them were deemed utter wastes.

Refusing to accept it, Jun Wu Xie—unaccustomed to such crushing failure—vanished for two full days! Jun Xian panicked, convinced his spirited granddaughter had crumbled under the blow and sought to end her life.

Jun Wu Xie stayed quiet.

Commit suicide? Hardly.

Having absorbed all the body’s memories, Wu Xie knew better than anyone that it was no suicide. Her departure from Lin Palace stemmed from an arrangement three days earlier by the Second Prince to meet her.

Depressed over her missing contractual spirit, the former Jun Wu Xie had eagerly accepted her cherished Second Prince’s invitation, desperate for his comforting words.

Yet upon reaching the meeting spot, no dashing prince awaited—instead, a shadowy masked man clad in black stood there.
