Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1037 - 189: I Will Save You

In the water prison, it was dark as night. Hu Sheng was suspended, and her legs were soaked in water. The prolonged immersion had already caused her limbs to swell and rot.

Nearly three years of imprisonment had made Hu Sheng forget the passage of time and the difference between day and night.

But recently, she was suddenly released, and the prison guards even showed mercy by delivering her clean food and water.

Hu Sheng knew that the vicious Summoning Court Summoners would not be so kind-hearted.

She neither ate nor drank.

"Eat while you can. As soon as the Dutian Summit ends, you will die. Better to die with a full stomach than an empty one," said one of the two prison guards who approached, spitting on the ground and walking away, cursing.

So that’s how it is. She was finally going to die.

Hu Sheng felt numb and did not look at the food. To her, death might be a form of relief.

"You should eat a little bit," one of the prison guards who remained said suddenly.

Hu Sheng found the voice somewhat unfamiliar, but it didn’t really matter.

This person was not her usual guard; he seemed to be temporarily assigned.

"Someone will come to rescue you," the prison guard said in a low voice.

Hu Sheng’s body trembled. She suddenly raised her head to look at the prison guard. The other person was wearing a mask, as many Summoners in the Summoning Court did.

Perhaps it was the hint of care in the other’s voice that moved Hu Sheng. She asked softly, "Who are you? Are you from the Sky Fox Tribe?"

As soon as Hu Sheng spoke, she regretted it.

She was really naive. How could anyone from the Sky Fox Tribe come to rescue her?

Her father had long ignored her, and her timid mother could never find someone to save her.

"I’m sorry to have made you suffer these years. I was selfish before. I am Yun Sheng’s father," Yun Canghai hesitated for a moment before announcing himself.

Since that day, when he secretly infiltrated the Great Zhou Embassy and left a message for Yun Sheng, Yun Canghai had been closely monitoring the situation in the water prison.

Recently, a prison guard in the water prison fell ill, so Yun Canghai took the opportunity to replace him.

He believed that Sheng’er should have received his message by now. In another day, the Dutian Summit would begin, and at that time, Sheng’er would definitely infiltrate the water prison. As long as he and his daughter worked together inside and out, he believed they could rescue the woman in the water prison.

Yun Sheng’s father?

While surprised, Hu Sheng felt a bit of bitterness in her heart.

Her own father did not appear in her time of crisis, but it was Yun Sheng’s father who came to rescue her.

"It’s very dangerous here. Why are you trying to save me? You should also know why I was captured. If I die, Yun Sheng will be safe," Hu Sheng believed that the man in front of her should also know that she was captured in place of someone else.

He should also know that she would soon be used as a blood sacrifice to solidify the Dutian Blood Seal.

Aren’t all parents in the world selfish? Perhaps Yun Sheng’s father isn’t afraid of Yun Sheng getting involved?

"But if Sheng’er knew you died in her place, she would live with a guilty conscience for the rest of her life. She is a famous doctor, and in her heart, there is no distinction between cheap and precious lives. Your parents probably hope for your return as well. Eat the food; in just a few days, we will rescue you," Yun Canghai sighed, taking out some elixirs and placing them beside Hu Sheng.

His daughter, Hu Sheng, although not a good person, had a clear sense of right and wrong. Hu Sheng’s death would exchange only for temporary peace.

"No one expects me to return. Although I look very much like Yun Sheng, I am not her. I am a useless person," Hu Sheng shook her head, hugging her legs and curling up in the cell, lowering her head.

Yun Canghai sighed and left.

On the day of the Dutian Summit, Yun Sheng received an invitation from the King of Penglai and the Summoning Court.

She learned that the Dutian Summit would be held at the Penglai Pavilion.

The people who had already arrived in Penglai included prominent figures from several major countries and powers: the Regent King of Great Zhou "Ye Beiming," Hou Qin’s Dugu Xiu, Xianju’s Divine Wind King, Tangyuan’s Li Cheng, the vice-president of the Hunter Soldier Union, Mainland Elite Camp Blue, Donghuang Dynasty’s Donghuang Lingling, and the Dharma Temple Chief Si Ming.

As the Dutian Summit did not allow any demon beasts or demon pets inside, Yun Sheng went to the Penglai Pavilion alone today.

When she reached the gate of the Penglai Pavilion, she happened to encounter Li Cheng of Tangyuan.

"Regent King, a pleasure to meet you. It’s a pleasure," Yun Sheng ran into Crown Prince Li Cheng of Tangyuan and couldn’t help feeling a headache.

Li Cheng greatly admired the Regent King of Great Zhou. Back then, he was just a neglected Crown Prince of Tangyuan. It was only with the support of Ye Beiming that he managed to displace the Second Prince Li Shao.

Not to mention, the Second Prince Li Shao was later killed in Dihong City, supposedly by the Regent King, eliminating a major concern for Crown Prince Li.

However, even though Li Cheng had formed an alliance with the Regent King of Great Zhou, he had never had the opportunity to meet "Ye Beiming" in person.

So this time, he naturally wanted to curry favor.

Yun Sheng smiled awkwardly. She didn’t want to speak much with Li Cheng, fearing she would reveal herself, but that guy, Li Cheng, was completely unaware and clung to Yun Sheng in a rather intimate manner.

"Regent King, I once met the Regent Princess Consort. I heard that the Princess Consort has been ill for years. Has she gotten better lately, or does she need me to send Tangyuan’s famous doctors to see her?"

"Your Highness, you’re like a dog meddling in other people’s business. The Regent Princess Consort’s medical skills are unparalleled in the world. How could Tangyuan’s quacks compare?" Donghuang Lingling came in, glaring at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng embarrassingly let go. How could he have forgotten that the Regent Princess Consort had cured his own mother?

"Physicians cannot treat themselves," that proverb referred to the situation of the Regent Princess Consort.

Yun Sheng let out a sigh of relief and gratefully nodded to Lingling.

"Your Excellency, the Regent King of Great Zhou?" A suspicious voice from behind caused Yun Sheng’s brow to twitch heavily.

Feeling not good, Yun Sheng realized that the person behind her was the Chief Si Ming of the Dharma Temple.

It was bearable that Li Cheng had never met Ye Beiming, but Ye Beiming had indeed met Chief Si Ming of the Dharma Temple before.

This time, the truth might be hard to conceal. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

While Yun Sheng hesitated whether to turn and meet Chief Si Ming.

"Everyone, please enter the Penglai Pavilion. Lord Fate, Ru Mo has something to discuss with you. Please have a brief talk to the side," Ji Ru Mo timely stepped in, defusing the crisis for Yun Sheng.

After Ji Ru Mo left, Donghuang Lingling was still a bit puzzled. She tugged at Yun Sheng, "It seems the King of Penglai is helping you. Did you know each other before?"

"No, but he always gives me a familiar feeling. Never mind that, let’s go in for now and adapt to the situation later. We need to think of a way to find out about Hu Sheng’s whereabouts," Yun Sheng shook her head. She also felt that the King of Penglai was obviously helping her. Who exactly is he?
