Ms. Doctor Divine - Chapter 1842

1842 Chaoter 357: Conditions 3
This left Huang Fu perplexed.

With a trembling heart, Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.

He turned around and made his way to the study, searching for books that pertained to the enlightenment of cultivation.

The Phoenix Girl was an exception among others. Typically, the Phoenix Girl would be unable to cultivate in this realm.

However, the Phoenix Girl possessed exceptional magical power within her, albeit suppressed due to the cold poison coursing through her body.

Huang Fu found the book and handed it to Gu Chaoyan. “Read this first, and refrain from cultivating for now. Once you reach Snow Territory, acquire the Fire Lotus flower to detoxify yourself. Then, you can commence your cultivation.”

“….”

“I lack sufficient magical power to venture outside. I will distribute the items in two hours.”

A sigh of relief escaped Gu Chaoyan’s lips.

She caressed the book, attempting to open it.

Lingyun’s provisions should sustain them for a brief respite. In two hours, Huang Fu would deliver the items, allowing them to recover within a day.

Gu Chaoyan glanced at the book in her hands and pondered the Fire Lotus flower he had mentioned. She instinctively looked at Huang Fu and inquired, “Are you familiar with Snow Territory?”

“I am somewhat acquainted,” Huang Fu honestly replied.

“In that case, do you know about the longstanding engagement between the City Lord of Snow Territory and the Phoenix Girl? And what about Acacia beans?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

There were numerous aspects of the world that eluded her understanding, filling her with curiosity.

Yet, these things seemed to have endured for countless generations.

And she needed to know the explanation.

Huang Fu sneered, “Yes.”

“…”

“The so-called marriage alliance does exist.”

“What?” Gu Chaoyan found the entire concept incredulous. It made no sense to her.

“A long time ago, there was a City Lord in Snow Territory who married the Phoenix Girl. After their marriage, Snow Territory gained significant advantages by being united with the Phoenix Girl. They were unwilling to let her go. Hence, they coerced the Phoenix Girl, who had wedded the City Lord of Snow Territory, into agreeing to such an alliance. As for the so-called Acacia beans, it was merely a manipulative tactic employed by them. They used Acacia beans to bind the Phoenix Girl.”

“…”

“There is indeed a marriage alliance, but it is a decision imposed unilaterally by individuals from Snow Territory. It is the logic of bandits!”

“…”

“They are unworthy of the Phoenix Girl!”

“….”

“She merely happened to ensnare the affections of the former City Lord.”

Upon hearing Huang Fu’s words, Gu Chaoyan brought herself back to reality.

That explanation made sense.

“Why is the Fire Lotus only found in Snow Territory?” Gu Chaoyan remained perplexed.
“Why?” Huang Fu sneered.

“That’s because Snow Territory has monopolized it through their deceptive means,” Huang Fu replied with disdain.

He was deeply displeased and held a grudge against Snow Territory. He regretted not defending her more effectively in the past. Otherwise, those despicable individuals wouldn’t have exploited her and forced her to embark on this journey to Snow Territory. She had endured so much suffering and couldn’t even protect her maid.

Gu Chaoyan finally grasped the situation.

Outside, the snow was falling heavily.

Huang Fu had previously informed her that they were nearing the main city of Snow Territory.

In the main city of Snow Territory, heavy snowfall persisted year-round.

Over the past few days, Huang Fu had been delivering the necessary items to her at fixed intervals. Although he appeared reluctant, he returned looking visibly pale.

“Young Miss, look ahead!”
