Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1227 - 54: Allies

The situation for Bo Bo and Little Yingying appeared dire.

Previously, when Yun Sheng saved them, she had observed peculiar black, talisman-like markings on their bodies, in addition to the ropes used to restrain them.

Yun Sheng initially paid them little mind, but suddenly, these dark markings began to burrow into Bo Bo and Little Yingying.

A sharp, piercing pain wracked their bodies. Little Yingying couldn't suppress her cries, while Bo Bo's face flushed, and heavy beads of sweat soaked its soft fur.

Yun Sheng moved swiftly to examine them, but found neither the human nor the beast showed signs of poisoning or physical injury.

Even with her divine Shennong's Eyes, Yun Sheng could only detect a mysterious, surging power within them.

This force caused them immense suffering, feeling as though they were being torn apart by a thousand blades.

Little Yingying, being of the Human Clan, made Yun Sheng understand her reaction to such overwhelming strength.

But why was Bo Bo also reacting so intensely?

Bo Bo was an aspiring Realm God; though not fully developed, it had always been energetic and resilient, save for a significant injury during its incubation.

Ordinary combat skills and magic were insignificant threats to Bo Bo.

However, the strange force emanated by the mysterious black talismans acted as Bo Bo's nemesis, inflicting unbearable agony.

Frail and overcome, Little Yingying soon lost consciousness.

"Do not assume you are the only one with contingencies. You have indeed rescued them, but I have affixed my 'Witch Gu Talismans' to both. These talismans are unique to the Sky Fox Clan; no one in this world can break them," Elder Liu cackled twice.

Bo Bo felt the foreign power ravaging its insides, as if its very body was on the verge of disintegration.

"Enough," Yun Sheng commanded, witnessing the torment of Bo Bo and Little Yingying.

"Hahaha, if you agree to my terms, I possess the antidote. Administer it every ten days, and the person and beast will remain unharmed. Refuse, and the torment will strike daily, culminating on the tenth day with an eruption of force from their bodies, leading to death by explosion. I am aware you are a Medical Woman, but this is witchcraft; it is beyond your ability to unlock," Elder Liu declared with arrogance.

At this juncture, he was confident Yun Sheng could not refuse his demands.

"My dearest master, Bo Bo is so weak," Bo Bo whimpered, experiencing hatred for the first time.

It was a divine beast of the Realm, yet it consistently seemed to be a burden to its master.

"Bo Bo, it is not your fault," Yun Sheng reassured, lifting her head with fierce determination.

Suddenly, within her, the Divine Lotus Karma Fire erupted with the force of a mountain flood.

Bang bang bang—

Innumerable Shura Heavenly Thorns rained down from above. In her incandescent fury, Yun Sheng dismantled the entire Magic Array positioned before Elder Liu and Liu Xueyu.

The entire Liu Residence bore the appearance of a landscape ravaged by a tempest, utterly devastated.

"I will join Fengdu and substitute Liu Xueyu in the Holy Daughter selection. Once that is accomplished, provide me with the antidote immediately, or I shall leave not a single soul alive in the Liu Residence." For Yun Sheng, Little Yingying and Bo Bo were akin to family.

Elder Liu had unequivocally crossed Yun Sheng's absolute limit this time.

Were it not for the enigmatic black talismans, which Yun Sheng was currently incapable of dispelling, she would never have acquiesced to Elder Liu's stipulations.

Upon witnessing Yun Sheng's agreement, Elder Liu presented her with two vials of potent liquid, pledging to deliver the remaining doses in installments ten days hence.

After securing the antidotes, Yun Sheng departed with Bo Bo and Little Yingying, leaving the ruined Liu Residence in their wake.

Despite successfully coercing Yun Sheng into accepting his terms, Elder Liu found himself drenched in a cold sweat born of fear.

The woman's power... was genuinely terrifying; even afterward, Elder Liu felt a lingering tremor of apprehension.

"Grandfather, did you truly permit her to contend in the Heavenly Fox Saintess selection? But her strength... what if she defies our directives?" Liu Xueyu voiced her apprehension, herself shaken.

She now recognized the sheer fortune she had experienced in merely losing one hand that fateful day.

This Heavenly Fox inferior... this woman named Yun possessed a might unknown to the Holy Daughter candidates of Cangdu.

Even if she were merely a low-ranking half-beast, it would not impede her ultimate selection. It was understandable why grandfather had permitted her to represent Fengdu initially.

Elder Liu, too, was beset by uncertainty. The renown Cangdu's Think Tank, He Lai, possessed unmatched wisdom; why would he relinquish such a promising candidate and allow another to stand for Cangdu?

"Xueyu, this is merely a temporary measure. Those witch talismans are no ordinary artifacts. In truth, I myself procured only three from the Great Witch Doctor. As for whether an antidote exists for these talismans, only the Great Witch Doctor holds that knowledge," Elder Liu scoffed.

This woman was, ultimately, a perilous entity.

Should she truly defy him, the Great Witch Doctor would personally take action. He couldn't fathom that the Great Witch Doctor, with their mystical abilities, couldn't subdue a mere low-ranking half-beast.

As soon as Yun Sheng departed the Liu Residence, her immediate action was to examine the two bottles of potion gifted by Elder Liu.

She observed that the liquid within was devoid of color and taste, rendering it impossible to identify its components.

Nevertheless, following the administration of the potion to Bo Bo and Little Yingying, their conditions visibly improved.

Just as Yun Sheng was about to question Bo Bo and Little Yingying about their well-being, a subtle shift in the air caught her attention.

"Show yourself," Yun Sheng commanded, shielding Little Yingying and Bo Bo behind her, her voice suddenly cutting through the quiet.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

Upon recognizing the individual, Yun Sheng experienced a moment of surprise.

The person was none other than Lu Yunshuang of the Ice Fox Clan, an individual Yun Sheng had briefly encountered at the tavern earlier.

"It's you. What business do you have following me?" Yun Sheng's keen senses had for some time registered a pursuit; she had initially suspected an underling of Elder Liu, but to her surprise, the one trailing her was Lu Yunshuang.

"There's no use in trying. That antidote was crafted by the Great Witch Doctor of the Sky Fox Tribe Country. Beyond her, no one else in this world possesses the skill to concoct it," Lu Yunshuang stated plainly.

She remained as she was before – radiating a chilling detachment, her very presence seeming to lower the surrounding temperature.

"Why would you tell me this?" Yun Sheng maintained her guard, her suspicion piqued.

Lu Yunshuang, a representative from Fengdu, had Yun Sheng questioning the sincerity of her apparent gesture.

"I am not your adversary. I can assist you in finally ascending as the Heavenly Fox Saintess." Lu Yunshuang's declaration left Yun Sheng astonished.

"You are also among the contenders for the Saintess position. Isn't becoming the Saintess your ultimate aspiration?" Yun Sheng found it difficult to trust Lu Yunshuang's intentions.

"Not everyone harbors the desire to become the Heavenly Fox Saintess. While the world perceives the Heavenly Fox Saintess as a position of immense honor, they fail to grasp that this status also entails a significant burden. The previous Heavenly Fox Saintess serves as a stark example of this," Lu Yunshuang responded with a measured tone.
