Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor’s Wild Beast-Tamer Empress

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Young master!” Fearing that Long Baobao would be hurt, Steward Huang climbed up staggeringly and wanted to stop him.

But he could not due to his old age and slow movements. Moreover, he felt a daze the moment he stood up after kowtowing.

In the blink of an eye, Long Baobao reached the gate but his little head bumped into a wall before him.

Long Baobao took a careful took and found that it was not a wall but Di’s body.

The huge difference in height enabled Di to lift Long Baobao effortlessly.

Di’s cold face invited more hatred from Long Baobao.

“Let me go. You are all had people. Why do you stop me? I don’t need your sympathy. I will go back to the Cang State to save my grandpa.”

Long Baobao kept waving his limbs like a little spider.

“Save your grandpa? You are so weak that you are simply courting death.”

Di looked sombre. How troublesome kids were!

If he had not noticed that the young woman really wanted to save the little creature, he would like to kick the boy out of the campsite.

Di was still injured in the back. He threw Long Baobao into the arms of Ye Lingyue as if the boy were a sandbag.

“You decide whether to help him or not.”

Ye Lingyue was in a trance and looked at Di in shock.

How did he know that she wanted to help Long Baobao?

“Let me go. You are not good people, either. You are trying to hurt me just like Long Sixuan.” Long Baobao could not do anything about being thrown back and forth like a sandbag. Then he got more annoyed and waved his arms and legs at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue was a little angry. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped Long Baobao in the face.

Clap! The tent fell into rapt silence.

Steward Huang was stupefied.

The young master was the apple of the family head’s eye and he had never been beaten since his birth.

Long Baobao was also taken aback.

How painful!

Long Baobao pouted but obstinately restrained himself from crying out. He only focused his watery big eyes on Ye Lingyue.

“Long Baobao, let me tell you that you are not eligible to court death since your life does not belong to you at all! Your guards have died one by one when trying to protect you. Steward Huang has left his hometown and family for your sake. So your life belongs to them. You have to live on and take back all that belongs to you. This is what you owe to them!” Ye Lingyue shouted at Long Baobao with gritted teeth when seeing that he could not live up to her expectations.

Long Baobao remained silent for a long while.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red and he burst out crying. He no longer clenched his small fists. Instead, he reached out and held Ye Lingyue’s neck, crying out aloud.

He was full of fear and hatred. Why did his whole world crumble overnight?

But he could not cry or fear since his grandpa was waiting for him to come back and Grandpa Huang still needed his care.

He could not cry. This was the last time for crying. Really the last time.

Long Baobao kept crying until he lost his voice. Then he started sobbing. Tiring nights and the harsh realities were truly overwhelming. Eventually he fell into a deep sleep. Long Baobao leaned on the shoulders of Ye Lingyue and could never let go. Maybe he also knew in his heart that the first person to beat him was among the few ones in the world that he could now rely on.

“Miss. Ye, thank you.” Steward Zhuang kept wiping away his tears. The young master had been self-willed ever since his birth. If Ye Lingyue had not acted so boldly just now, Long Baobao might have done something on impulse.

“You don’t need to thank me so early. I have not agreed to help you yet since no banquet is free in this world.” Ye Lingyue was still annoyed about Steward Huang concealing the fact deliberately.

But she and Long Baobao were linked by destiny.

She had no younger brother and Long Baobao gave her a strangely familiar feeling. It seemed that she had a beloved younger brother long long ago. Every time the little boy ran into trouble and got upset, he would hold Ye Lingyue and cry out for comfort.

Long Baobao had taught Ye Lingyue the method of making the Qiankun Bag. After pondering for a while, Ye Lingyue still intended to help Long Baobao. But she was no philanthropist though the captain surprisingly let her decide how to deal with Long Baobao.

If they worked for nothing, this would be an unacceptable deal.

Obviously, Steward Huang was clear about that. There was more embarrassment on his face.

“I really don’t have much money left. However, we can pay you as long as the young master gains fame in the World’s Top Weapon-Maker.”

“Steward Huang, under such circumstances, do you still believe that your young master can smoothly gain fame in the World’s Top Weapon-Maker?” Ye Lingyue could not help rolling her eyeballs.

Were the boy and old man from the Planet of Innocence? Long Sixuan had hired assassins to kill Long Baobao at the sky-high price of 5 million liang of gold. If he knew that Long Baobao was still alive, he would surely move heaven and earth to keep hunting the boy.

Worse still, he might rely on the reputation and status which the Long Family had established in the weapon-making circle over the years to prevent Long Baobao from taking part in the competition.

Ye Lingyue could be sure that Long Baobao’s work for the preliminaries was quite likely to be rigged even if he could smoothly arrive in the Sifang City.

“Then, what can be done?” Steward Huang was at his wit’s end.

“Now there is only one way out. That is to make Long Baobao die. 5 million liang of gold is truly an attractive price.” Ye Lingyue smiled.

Steward Huang’s facial expression suddenly changed and he looked at Ye Lingyue with fear.

Did greed drive her to exchange the young master’s head for...

“Listen! Disha and Drinking Blood failed to accomplish the task of escorting this time. The young master of the Long Family was unfortunately killed halfway and Steward Huang showed his loyalty by dying together with his master. Do you keep it in mind?” Ye Lingyue looked at all with a sweet smile.

“Get it. What a pity that Young Master Long died at such a young age!” Lan Cai’er was the most familiar with Ye Lingyue and she could guess from Ye Lingyue’s facial expression alone that her younger sister must have come up with a wicked idea.

What Ye Lingyue said exactly echoed what Di and Sha had planned earlier.

The members of Drinking Blood remained silent, including Dao Ge and Song Jingyun.

They were smart enough to know instantly that Ye Lingyue was going to spread false information about Long Baobao’s death in order to reassure Long Sixuan.

But in this case, Drinking Blood would be surely accused of failing to accomplish the task?

Disha’s reputation would be hurt in the short term. As long as Long Baobao really gained fame in the World’s Top Weapon-Maker, however, Disha would gain benefits sooner or later.

Naturally, the three sisters of the Xia Family, Hong Yulang and others were unwilling to do this.

“From today on, Long Baobao will be dead. No one can leak the secret. Otherwise, it will be equal to betraying Drinking Blood.” Bo Qing said flatly.

After Bo Qing said such words, no member of Drinking Blood dared to show disapproval.
