Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 789 - 656: He’s a Wife-Pampering Demon
From the moment the Sand Ant Nest was destroyed to their counterattack, it was no more than two quarters of an hour.
Yet the destruction and casualties it caused were like the aftermath of a hurricane.
On the river surface, the Sand Ants were still relentlessly searching for the last survivors.
The few dozen Four-direction Boats from earlier had all been annihilated.
Apart from Chen Mu and An Yang, who escaped with the Mixed Element Skyfire Cauldron, there was not a single survivor.
Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun were still hanging on a relatively higher cliff face, coldly observing this battle where the many defeated the few, and the weak overcame the strong.
Throughout the process, Ye Lingyue felt goosebumps all over.
She was never one to be soft-hearted, and the operations of her Ghost Sect were never conducted with clean hands, but seeing so many people turn into skeletons in an instant still made her uncomfortable.
To take a step back, if not for being with Feng Xun, she might also have joined in the action of pillaging the Sand Ant Nest, and the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"Feng Xun, I really owe you for this time." Ye Lingyue spoke after a long while with a complete sentence.
But immediately, she thought of another problem.
Their Four-direction Boat was destroyed, and there was still a long stretch of the sand river to cross. Those Sand Ants below were also persistently circling above the river surface, and her Corrosive Soul Chain couldn’t last that long.
"The Sand Ants are most aggressive at noon, and correspondingly, their attack power will decrease with the arrival of night. Sand Ants begin to build new nests at night, and that’s when their defenses are the weakest. Do you still have any Green Thunder on you?" Feng Xun had already prepared a plan.
"I have about fifty or sixty pieces. What do you plan to do?" After Ye Lingyue subdued the Green Thunder Dao Sect, she researched Green Thunder and found it quite useful, so she refined a few hundred pieces for herself.
Some of them she gifted to Lan Cai’er and Long Baobao for self-defense, she still had about fifty or sixty pieces on hand. Based on what Feng Xun was implying, he planned to take advantage of the coming night to completely obliterate the Sand Ants with Green Thunder.
But with so many Sand Ants, even fifty or sixty pieces of Green Thunder would not be enough to eliminate them.
Moreover, Ye Lingyue was worried that the commotion caused by the Green Thunder might attract other Fierce Beasts from downstream areas.
They simply couldn’t withstand another mass attack from beasts at this time.
"We don’t need that many, one is enough. Actually, Chen Mu and his group did us a favor by destroying many nests. For us, this is the best opportunity to eradicate the problem at its roots," Feng Xun explained.
"But we still don’t have a Four-direction Boat, or do you mean..." Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but glance at Feng Xun.
The latter was also looking at her, and they simultaneously exclaimed.
"Robbery!"
They were not the last ones to enter the Rift Valley Sand River, which meant that soon others would enter this section of the river, meaning they would soon have a new Four-direction Boat.
After agreeing on a strategy, Feng Xun hugged Ye Lingyue to shield her from the sun.
They waited for another two or three hours until the scorching sun suspended above the Rift Valley Sand River gradually set below the horizon.
Due to the desert environment, there was a significant temperature difference between day and night in the Sand River.
The sand river at night seemed even to flow faster due to the evening breeze.
The entire Rift Valley Sand River was very quiet in the dusk, with only the occasional soft rustling sound of Sand Ants moving, transmitted from the river’s surface.
These were the homeless Sand Ants, busy building new nests, utterly oblivious to the fact that two individuals would soon utterly destroy the environment they inhabited.
Ye Lingyue recharged her energy and scanned the river surface again.
Just as Feng Xun had said, due to the drop in temperature, the Sand Ants’ ability to move had weakened a lot.
When the last glow of the sunset had completely vanished, Feng Xun had Ye Lingyue take out the Green Thunder.
Before using the Green Thunder, Feng Xun took out several bottles from his Qiankun Bag and tossed them into the sand river.

The bottle rolled away, quickly leaking a liquid substance out from the inside.
"What is that?"
Ye Lingyue glanced at Feng Xun’s Qiankun Bag, only to realize that what she saw was a collection of pots, pans, ladles, and some ingredients.
She was speechless, for most people use the Qiankun Bag to store Spiritual Artifacts and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Yet, this guy, Feng Xun, was actually using it to store these useless things!
This was seriously an insult to her Purple Gold Qiankun Bag.
Feng Xun, apparently not noticing Ye Lingyue’s teeth-gritting face, casually answered.
"Refined edible oil."
Feng Xin’s method was undoubtedly a good one. Oil can aid fire; with some cooking oil and igniting the Green Thunder, they could indeed cause a big fire.
They could take advantage of the Sand Ants’ sluggish reaction to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
However, what confused Ye Lingyue most was why Feng Xun would bring cooking oil.
"For cooking."
Feng Xun answered earnestly.
His little woman had very picky taste, and in a place like Sifang City, she might suffer from the unfamiliar environment.
Ye Lingyue was stunned; Feng Xun actually carried cooking utensils and seasonings just to cook... to cook for someone, well, needless to say, it was for her only.
"But you should at least carry some protective treasures." Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes.
"Not necessary." Feng Xun’s implication was that where would he ever need those useless things.
Perhaps feeling that his tone was a bit too confident, he pondered for a moment, then added, as if gilding the lily,
"Having you is enough."
His tone, utterly that of a pampered young master.
Yet Feng Xun managed to say it with both deep affection and righteousness, leaving Ye Lingyue with no ground for rebuttal. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Damn it, Ye Lingyue couldn’t bring herself to be angry at him, and she could only mutter under her breath.
Ye Lingyue couldn’t talk back to Feng Xun. At this moment, she noticed that directly below the river surface where they were hanging, a nest of Sand Ants was stationed, and some of the ants had already laid new Sand Ant eggs there.
Ye Lingyue thought of how these seemingly weak creatures displayed such ferocity during the day and an idea struck her.
She remembered that the last time Ye Yinsuang came to Daxia to participate in the Imperial Examination, she mentioned that Dahuang, who had been left at home to assist her grandfather, had now advanced into a Sixth Rank Spiritual Beast.
Even an ordinary yellow dog could evolve and mutate. She wondered what changes would occur if these unhatched Sand Ants were bred in Hong Meng Heaven.
She quickly controlled a Corrosive Soul Chain and wrapped up a Sand Ant that had just settled in.
When Ye Lingyue snatched the Sand Ant Nest, she swiftly stowed it into her Purple Gold Qiankun Bag.
In her hand, the Green Thunder was tossed out neatly.
Green Thunder fell onto the sand river’s surface, causing a severe shock that quickly formed a big hole in the middle of the sand river.
Green smoke and fire erupted and immediately clung to the oil.
The oil Feng Xun used was of high quality; once it caught fire, it burned fiercely.
Instantly, the dense area of Sand Ants in front became a sea of fire, and Ye Lingyue had to raise her Corrosive Soul Chain a bit higher to avoid the flames.
