Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 503 - 504: The Bullied Princess Consort Wu?
Feng Bailing is neither adept in literature nor martial arts. In the eyes of the members of Great Chu Team B, she is merely a woman who rose through the ranks by relying on men, occupying a position that should have belonged to them as formal members.
The substitute players on the scene all seemed displeased when looking at her.
"Princess Consort Wu?"
From the crowd, a person stepped forward.
Xia Xing.
Feng Bailing recognized her, somewhat surprised that she was also here.
Xia Xing, one of the official members of Great Chu Team B, was said to be a veteran mercenary hired by Lu Yin, possessing strong capabilities.
This Xia Xing, somewhat reticent and solitary, hadn’t moved with the others, which is why she had fallen behind.
Although she was reluctant to converse much with Feng Bailing, her attitude was nonetheless friendly.
Feng Bailing and Xia Xing, while searching together, found the situation to be worse than they had anticipated due to an earthquake, as the roads were severely damaged.
They had lost contact with the leading teams and leaders; it was already deep into the night, everyone was exhausted from travelling the entire day, and now, the horse carriage was gone, the horses frightened, leaving them no choice but to rest on the spot.
The headcount was already taken; surprisingly, all those left behind were substitute players from various countries.
Since the substitute players naturally had less stamina and inferior horses compared to the official members, they had naturally fallen behind during the journey.
Prince Wu’s horse carriage could have made it to the front, but because Feng Bailing fell asleep as soon as she got into the carriage, Prince Wu had the coachman slow down to let her sleep more comfortably, which resulted in them falling behind.
Are there really no other official members here besides Xia Xing and myself?
Feng Bailing thought to herself.
In the deep mountains, the night temperatures fell, many people, dressed lightly and lacking stamina, began to see their injuries worsen.
Especially those physically weak scholars started shivering at this moment.
"We need to make a fire for warmth and to ward off wild animals, let’s split up. Those injured should stay put, the lightly injured should take care of the severely injured, and those unharmed should go and gather some firewood."
Xia Xing, true to her reputation as a seasoned mercenary, gathered all the team members from different countries and began delegating tasks.
"Princess Consort Wu, please take care of the injured."
After saying this, Xia Xing went off with others to gather firewood.
Feng Bailing wanted to check the wounds for those injured, but as soon as she spoke, they all flatly refused her.
"We don’t want to die any quicker."
A member of Great Chu Team B named Zhou Tong coldly said.
What a joke?
The injuries among the team members were minor. As beautiful as Princess Consort Wu looked, she appeared frail, her hands soft as tofu, hardly seeming capable of treating ailments. If treated by her and the conditions worsen, that would be troublesome.
Hearing what Zhou Tong said, other substitutes of Great Chu Team B also ignored Feng Bailing.
As for substitute players from other countries, needless to say, they all knew that Feng Bailing was from an enemy nation. Who knew if she might sabotage their wounds, worsening their conditions?
Feng Bailing, uninterested in warming hearts that were cold to her, simply leaned against a tree and closed her eyes to rest.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhou Tong was secretly watching her, his eyes flashing with malevolence.
Xia Xing hadn’t returned yet, some people had brought back firewood, and a fire was started, surrounding silence pervading while roars of beasts echoed continuously through the forest.
Seeing that Feng Bailing had fallen asleep, several substitute players from Great Chu exchanged glances and walked together to the bushes behind.
"There’s no time to lose, while Xia Xing is not yet back, let’s take action."
Zhou Tong spoke in a deep voice, his strength not weak, having recently broken through to the Wuji Earth Seal tier. He joined Great Chu Team B for the chance to become an official member, thinking his prowess would surely secure him a spot, but Prince Wu had only deemed him a substitute.
He had been seething with indignation all along, and the one he resented the most was Feng Bailing.
"But if we lay hands on Princess Consort Wu, if Prince Wu finds out, he won’t let us off."
The speakers were a few other substitute members, who still showed some restraint, having heard of the notorious reputation of Prince Wu.
"We lure her to the edge of the rift and push her down; who would know it was us? We’ll make it seem like she accidentally wandered at night and fell. Only with her dead could we stand a chance to become the official members."
Zhou Tong spoke in a deep voice.
"Even if she dies, there’s only one spot available, but there are several of us."
The others were not fools—risking so much, among them, Zhou Tong, who had the strongest ability, was the only one who could become an official member.
"Why the rush? She’s just the first. In Great Chu Team B, there’s still a kid and a woman. And that one called Xia Xing, she hasn’t returned yet. After dealing with Princess Consort Wu, we’ll come back, claim that Princess Consort Wu fell down while bringing over Xia Xing, and then..."
Zhou Tong made a throat-slitting gesture.
The few team members were tempted, so Zhou Tong and a few members returned.
One of the female members went to Feng Bailing’s side and woke her. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Feng Bailing looked groggy.
"Princess Consort Wu, there’s trouble! Xia Xing fell into the rift while gathering firewood."
The female member feigned urgency.
Hearing this, Feng Bailing panicked and followed the group toward the nearby rift.
Other members from different nations heard the commotion and kept silent, none willing to meddle in such affairs.
It would be best if the members of Great Chu destroyed each other.
Feng Bailing walked with the group to the edge of the nearly hundred-yard-long crevasse.
Tonight, the moon was hazy, the rift deep, the moonlight unable to penetrate.
Sounds like the roar of dragons and tigers continuously echoed from the depths of the rift, standing by that rift made one’s hair stand on end, sending shivers down the spine.
"Where is Xia Xing?"
Feng Bailing approached the edge of the rift.
Zhou Tong and those few substitute members exchanged glances, Zhou Tong reached out his hand, pushing Feng Bailing forward with force.
But the moment his hand touched Feng Bailing’s shoulder, Feng Bailing, who had been standing in front of him, suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Tong broke out in cold sweat, and due to inertia, his foot was already hanging in mid-air.
Where did she go?
Zhou Tong broke out in cold sweat.
But then, his spine tingled, as a hand soft like tofu lightly landed on his shoulder.
"Are you looking for me?"
The woman, smiling as beautifully as a flower, stood behind him, Zhou Tong’s entire body went stiff with terror, and, stumbling over nothing, he fell into the rift.
The few members gasped in shock.
Only to see Feng Bailing, like an apparition, standing before them.
Feng Bailing’s cold eyes swept over, sharp as a knife, and the few, scared out of their wits, dropped to their knees with thuds.
