Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1444: Fox and Snake (Qi) Part 2
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
Hu Ruolan, after arriving at Taiyuan Mountain, has been living with the couple Hu Jiusheng.
Once, the Director Zhan Li of Wuxuan Wuji Hall arrived at Taiyuan Mountain and fell in love with Hu Ruolan at first sight.
Initially, Hu Ruolan was unwilling, as she felt she was unworthy of Zhan Li, having been married and given birth before.
But Director Zhan Li did not give up, and after a persistent pursuit, he eventually won Hu Ruolan’s heart, and he recently succeeded in proposing marriage.
"Since it’s the director’s wedding banquet, I should attend," Qi said again.
Little Qing flicked his snake tongue at Qi, making a hissing sound, but Qi knew that Little Qing didn’t understand his words at all.
When Qi arrived at Taiyuan Mountain, Yun Sheng was already waiting for her outside Taiyuan Castle.
At that time, Yun Sheng was pregnant, though her figure remained unchanged. Accompanied by Ye Beiming, she looked very happy.
"Qi, you finally decided to leave the Elite Camp. I almost thought you were going to be like Teacher She Huang, hiding in the camp forever," said Lingling and Gu Feng, who were also waiting for Qi and shared a friendship with Yun Sheng.
Gu Feng was the guy Qi envied the most, because, like Qi’s previous unrequited love for Yun Sheng, Gu Feng had once secretly loved Donghuang Lingling, but he managed to win her heart through his efforts.
Although there were some twists and turns, in the end, the two were united thanks to the Life-Span Changing Spring.
Though their youth had faded, the two remained very much in love.
But Qi could only watch as Yun Sheng eventually ended up with Ye Beiming, which was the biggest regret of Qi’s life.
"Qi, you should not have met Lady Ruolan yet, but she has always wanted to meet you," Yun Sheng stepped forward and led Qi to see Lady Ruolan.
Ever since finding out that Qi was the only person her daughter liked in the past, Lady Ruolan had always wanted to see him.
Upon hearing that he was going to meet Lady Ruolan, Qi was hesitant, because he felt he was the cause of Hu Sheng’s death due to his past rejection.
Yet he eventually decided to meet Hu Ruolan.
"You’re Qi? Indeed, you’re an outstanding child; no wonder Hu Sheng took a liking to you back then," Hu Ruolan, upon seeing Qi, did not express any blame. She merely assessed Qi with the approving gaze a mother-in-law gives a prospective son-in-law.
Alongside her stood Director Zhan Li, making Qi feel awkward.
Noticing Qi’s discomfort, Director Zhan Li chuckled twice.
"Madam, it has been a long time since you and Yun Sheng met. You both can chat first. I’ll discuss the upcoming mage and martial artist exchange between the Mainland Magic Elite Camp and Wuxuan Wuji Hall with Lu."
Saying this, he pulled Qi along and left.
Once Qi had left, Lady Ruolan and Yun Sheng exchanged a glance.
"He’s gone, Hu Sheng, you can come out now," Yun Sheng said, extracting a Beast Language Ring and releasing a strand of Ghost Soul from it.
The Ghost Soul, if seen by others, would certainly cause astonishment, as it bore a striking 99% resemblance to Yun Sheng.
Did Hu Sheng not die?
In fact, Hu Sheng did die.
But Yun Sheng found her soul and brought it back.
Back then, when Lady Ruolan arrived at Wuji Continent, though she got along well with Hu Jiusheng’s family, whenever she saw Yun Sheng with Hu Jiusheng’s mother and daughter, she would put on a forced smile and hide away, secretly grieving.
Hu Jiusheng, being her twin, noticed Hu Ruolan’s sadness.
Thus, Hu Jiusheng proposed that Yun Sheng help find Hu Sheng’s soul.
Yun Sheng thought it over and decided, for Lady Ruolan’s sake, to seek out Mingri once again.
Initially, Mingri refused. Being the Netherworld God, after the incident with Li Qingcheng, Mingri considered it an anomaly. Adding Hu Sheng to the mix would disrupt the Netherworld’s order.
But as soon as Yun Sheng brought out Bo Bo, Mingri had no choice but to compromise.
However, he had a condition: he wouldn’t actively hand over Hu Sheng’s soul. Yun Sheng had to search for it herself in the Netherworld.
With the Netherworld being vast—larger even than the Human World—finding a strand of Ghost Soul was extremely challenging. Mingri thought Yun Sheng would give up due to the difficulty. But unexpectedly, Yun Sheng managed to find Hu Sheng.
The specific reason was due to the Beast Language Ring in Lady Ruolan’s possession.
This Beast Language Ring was once used by Hu Sheng. Relying on the lingering aura within it, Yun Sheng finally found Hu Sheng in the Nine-layered Ghost Prison and brought her back.
She was brought back, but could only temporarily exist in the form of a Ghost Soul within the Beast Language Ring.
Over time, remaining in this state was detrimental to Hu Sheng.
This was when Hu Sheng suggested an astonishing idea—she wished to be by Qi’s side.
"Mother already has Uncle Zhan accompanying her, and Yun Sheng, you have your family. I can’t always stay by your sides. I... want to be by Qi’s side," Hu Sheng proposed, initially meeting resistance from Hu Ruolan.
But after persuasion from Yun Sheng and Hu Sheng, Hu Ruolan finally relented, agreeing to meet Qi.
This led to the current meeting, and only after meeting Qi did Lady Ruolan believe in her daughter’s judgment.
"But Sheng’er, how will you stay by Qi’s side, always existing as a Ghost Soul?" Hu Ruolan sighed.
"Regarding that, Lady Ruolan, you don’t need to worry. I already have a complete plan," Yun Sheng said, revealing a small Green Snake in her hand.
Little Qing looked at Yun Sheng in confusion. Earlier, when Qi and Director Zhan Li left, Yun Sheng used the pretext of needing to repair Qi’s Magic Wand to retain Little Qing and the Magic Wand.
"Are you suggesting Sheng’er attach herself to this snake?" Hu Ruolan was slightly unwilling.
"Mother, I’m willing to do so, as long as I can silently be with Qi. Even if I remain a snake all my life, I’m willing," Hu Sheng showed a joyful smile.
Hu Ruolan’s eyes warmed, this was one of the few smiles she had seen on her daughter over the years.
This child... is truly foolish.
Hu Sheng’s Ghost Soul entered Little Qing’s body. When Qi returned, Yun Sheng casually handed the Magic Wand to Qi.
After the wedding banquet ended, Qi prepared to leave Taiyuan Mountain.
"Little Qing, if Hu Sheng in heaven can see Lady Ruolan’s wedding, she would be happy. Director Zhan Li is a good person," Qi sighed.
Hiss—Little Qing flicked her snake tongue.
This time, she spoke.
"Yes, being with you is my greatest happiness in life."
