Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 556: The Gaze Behind

Everyone encountered the same situation as Great Chu Team A; the water in their water bags had frozen due to the sudden drop in temperature during the night.

Suddenly, no one had any water to drink, but just when everyone was in despair, Feng Bailing shook her water bag and then passed it to Dong Xiaojin.

"I’ve kept my water close to me at all times; it didn’t freeze. Drink the Queen Mother’s water first."

To everyone’s surprise, the water in Feng Bailing’s water bag hadn’t turned into ice. Dugu Xiaojin took it, drank a small sip.

Dugu Xiaojin then looked back at Feng Bailing, who nodded, and she passed the water bag to Hong Xuan, who also took a careful sip. With that sip, Hong Xuan’s eyes lit up.

The taste of the water in Feng Bailing’s water bag was sweet and satisfying, exceptionally quenching their thirst. Although it was just a small sip, it made her feel as if her entire body’s thirst and fatigue were swept away.

She passed the water bag along, and Dongfang Yong remained silent for a moment before also taking it and drinking a small sip.

The water bag continued to be passed down.

Everyone was very conscientious; no one drank more than they should.

When the water bag reached Dongfang Li’s hands, he looked at it with some disbelief, surprised that Bai Ling would share water with him; his hand holding the water bag trembled slightly.

After taking a sip, he felt as if the water was imbued with Feng Bailing’s unique scent.

That one sip made Dongfang Li feel as if all his internal organs were being moisturized, and Dongfang Mosheng also took and drank a sip from the water bag.

When the water bag reached Princess Anyang, she spoke viciously.

"Feng Bailing, you have no shame. Who would want to drink your grudgingly given water?"

Xia Xing glanced at Princess Anyang; only Feng Bailing would have such patience. If it were her, she would have kicked such a person long ago.

Princess Anyang looked at Dongfang Li, then at the water bag, and stubbornly sat on the side without drinking.

The water in Feng Bailing’s water bag was not the original water; she had already finished drinking the water from the morning.

The water in the bag had been replaced with the diluted Spiritual Spring to prevent people from discovering it.

Even though it was diluted Spiritual Spring, its effect on restoring strength was still excellent. After drinking the water and coating themselves with Red Scorpion Blood, they spent a night without alarm and slept.

But Great Chu Team A wasn’t so lucky.

Dugu Wu held Dongfang Jin hostage, threatening Nalan Yan’er to lead the team.

"It’s up ahead, quickly release Jinjin."

As Nalan Yan’er and Xiao Junci were about to reach the previous resting spot of Feng Bailing and others, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, her expression soon changed.

Feng Bailing and the others were gone.

Xiao Junci stared at the corpses of Red Scorpions on the ground, lost in thought.

After a while, he unexpectedly laughed.

"What a move, Feng Bailing. I really underestimated you."

No wonder he hadn’t detected Feng Bailing and the others’ presence all this way; the people from Great Chu Team B must have smeared themselves with Red Scorpion Blood.

This would mask their own scent and replace it with that of the Red Scorpions, but how many Red Scorpions were there in the Red Scorpion Desert?

Searching among these for Feng Bailing and the ten others was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Nalan Yan’er wasn’t foolish either. She looked at the chopped-up Red Scorpion corpses on the ground and thought back to what Feng Bailing had said before; she understood immediately.

She suddenly realized how wrong it was to have separated from Feng Bailing earlier. If she had stayed with Feng Bailing and the others, they wouldn’t be threatened by Xiao Junci now.

"Everyone says that the Crown Princess Consort is the greatest prodigy of Great Chu, virtuous and with outstanding talents, but now it seems that’s all there is to it. To save her child’s life, she betrayed her own teammates."

Seeing Nalan Yan’er’s pale face, Xiao Junci let go of Dongfang Jin.

Nalan Yan’er rushed to hug her son.

Just when Nalan Yan’er thought they had survived the ordeal, she saw Xiao Junci raising his hand.

Two fierce and sharp Gang Qi suddenly appeared, followed by two screams of agony.

When Nalan Yan’er came to her senses, two team members had already fallen dead in pools of blood.

Xiao Junci said with a hint of mockery.

"Today I will kill four of you. In the following days, you’ll help search for Feng Bailing and the others. As soon as you have any news, contact me immediately. If you can’t find them in a day, I’ll kill two of you."

Xiao Junci had accepted the fact that he really couldn’t handle Feng Bailing.

The Red Scorpion Desert was vast, and it would be difficult for him to find the other party directly, even so, he had to find others to help.

The likes of Nalan Yan’er in front of him were perfect helpers; Nalan Yan’er bit her lip and gave her consent with a nod.

Xiao Junci laughed again.

"Don’t even think about smearing yourself with Red Scorpion Blood like Feng Bailing did. I have left my unique Wolf Poison Fragrance on all of you, and it won’t disappear. Remember, find Feng Bailing as soon as possible, and I will spare you. Otherwise, all of you will die."

With that said, Xiao Junci disappeared into the vast desert.

Nalan Yan’er was filled with regret, but it was already too late.

The dazzling sunlight awoke everyone.

The fact that they had passed the night unscathed was a pleasant surprise to Dongfang Li.

Everyone had rested well, except for Princess Anyang, who was sporting a pair of dark circles and felt dry and thirsty at this moment.

Fortunately, with the daylight, the temperature rose and the water in their water bags thawed.

Princess Anyang couldn’t wait to drink all the water in her water bag.

Everyone else also started eating their dry rations.

"We don’t have much water left; we need to find a way to get some," Dongfang Yong reminded.

"We’ve smeared ourselves with Red Scorpion Blood, it will take a while for the Red Scorpions to discover us," Feng Bailing also nodded.

Although Feng Bailing’s first aid kit contained a lot of Spiritual Spring, she couldn’t expose it; last night, they might fool others, but no longer.

They must prepare enough water and food.

Looking around, the desert was really barren, with almost no vegetation.

However, Feng Bailing believed that there must be food in Red Scorpion’s lair.

"Have you all gone mad, wanting to go to the Red Scorpion’s lair?" Princess Anyang said with a face full of horror.

Right now, she regretted deeply that she should not have been in the same team as Feng Bailing.

"The most dangerous place is often the safest. Because other team leaders think we won’t go to the Red Scorpion’s lair, that’s exactly why we should," Feng Bailing analyzed.

In the end, Princess Anyang couldn’t win against everyone else and had to follow Feng Bailing and the others to the location previously marked on the map by Dugu Wu.

The corners of Dugu Wu’s mouth lifted slightly.

"Princess Consort Wu indeed didn’t disappoint us."

Mr. Nan Chen stood beside Dugu Wu, stroking his white beard, full of admiration.

"Now that they’re all right, it’s time for us to make our move," Dugu Wu withdrew his gaze.

The Red Scorpion Blood had erased Feng Bailing and others’ scent, but luckily, she was still wearing his "jade."

Mr. Nan Chen nodded in agreement and then took out a compass.
