The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Chapter 1176 - Forbidden Mountain, Forbidden Land I

This was a mountain range and the peaks were so tall that they were soaring into the clouds. However, the danger was lurking at every corner.

Feng Ruqing had just entered the mountain range when she felt that something was not quite right. She and Nan Xian who was beside her exchanged glances and they looked at the dense forest.

In the forest, there were waves of murderous intent hiding. Even the temperature in the air had fallen quite a bit.

“Xiao Qing, what is the matter?”

Gu Yiyi stared at Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian who had stopped moving forward. Her eyes contained a tinge of incomprehension, obviously not knowing what had happened.

Mu Qingyin was also silent, but he subconsciously pulled Gu Yiyi behind his back. He looked at the leaves that were rustling nearby.

Feng Ruqing laughed a little and took two big steps forward. She scanned the empty mountain forest. A small smile hung on her lips.

“Since all of you have chosen to ambush us, why are you still hiding now that we have appeared?”

Hahaha!

Waves of laughter rang out from the forest, like a devilish sound echoing in everyone’s ears, not fading even after a long while.

A few moments later, countless figures appeared from the forest. They stood in mid-air. Their gazes were cold as they looked down on the crowd below.

Amongst those people, the one leading them was a stern and cold old man. He wore a bright yellow dragon robe with the words ‘Xuan Yuan’ imprinted on it as if fearing that others would not know his identity.

He looked foolish… and a little retarded.

“Young lady, you are so young. Why are you with the spirit beasts and choosing to kill your own countrymen instead?”

“Who told you that you and I are countrymen?”

“We are all humans. Are we not countrymen? The vengeance between spirit beasts and humans had supposedly ended many years ago. In the past, there was a traitor like Haitian Kingdom’s king, now… there is you. Have you ever thought of how humans would be able to handle it if the spirit beasts rebelled?”

Feng Ruqing gently rubbed her chin. “Are all humans enemies with spirit beasts, or is it just all of you … who want to make spirit beasts your slaves?”

Emperor Xuan Yuan’s face darkened.

This little girl really did not take heed of his words.

Since that was the case, they could not really complain that these few old folks were besieging these young people.

“Oh, that’s right. Do you all know why spirit herbs are so rare in this place?” Feng Ruqing asked with a smile.

Emperor Xuan Yuan was stunned and asked, skeptically, “Why?”

“Because spirit beasts do not have intelligence.” Her eyes were filled with mockery. They looked beautiful and bright. “All of you have ordered the beasts to pluck the spirit herbs properly, but that is entirely impossible. They only know how to pluck them from the roots. Once the roots are gone, it would take countless years for herbs to be upgraded into spirit herbs.”

Spirit herbs grew when herbs had sufficient spirit qi. Only then would they become spirit herbs. Spirit herbs would keep on growing as long their roots were intact.

If the roots were destroyed, then it would need countless years to be promoted from ordinary herbs.

It was also because of this that there were not many spirit herbs on this mainland. At least, the number of spirit herbs were not comparable to Cang Yue Mainland.

This time, not only Emperor Xuan Yuan was stunned, even the other monarchs who were behind him were also stunned. The looks they gave Feng Ruqing were filled with doubts. It was as if they were trying to verify the authenticity of her words.

After all, they had always lived like this. They, too, plucked spirit herbs were from the roots. They had never left behind any roots.

“Even if what you said is true, so what?” Monarch Xuan Yuan regained his senses and indifferently said, “Previously, the spy I have left in Haitian Kingdom had brought back news saying that you had quite a bit of the spirit herbs, too. What about this, if you leave behind the spirit herbs…”
