Evil Emperor's Wild Consort
She has come a long way. Orphaned, born a weakling, and being the infamous good-for-nothing of Azure Dragon Country. Gu Ruoyun was the shame of the proud Gu household. Falsely accused of a crime she did not commit, she was betrayed by her family and beaten to death by her own grandfather. But life took a fateful twist on that very day — she was revived. Newly awakened, she is now the Master of an ancient treasure that resides within her body. Precious cultivation pills, treasures beyond her wildest imagination and spiritual beasts, all within her grasp... She is the apple of the eye of all under the heavens, including that of a mysterious, handsome man. Now she only has one goal — to conquer the world.
The Taming of the Ghost Doctor (3)

"Why? Are you scared?" Gu Ruoyun shrugged, "I’ve always thought that the Ghost Doctor would have more courage than anyone else. I didn’t think that a small little wager like this would scare you away. Since that's the case, then forget about it, I’m leaving now."
Gu Ruoyun then shook her head, her face full of disappointment.
Seeing how Gu Ruoyun was about to leave, the Ghost Doctor grit her teeth and said, "Hmph! Who told you that I was scared? Unless the Celestial Deity Daluo arrives, no one else can remove the scar on my face. It’s impossible for a silly little girl like you, no matter how great your abilities are! Fine then! I’ll accept your challenge! If you manage to remove the scars on my face, I’ll swear my fealty to you. If I ever betray you, I’ll willingly allow my family line to end with me, and enter the 18 levels of hell, never to be reborn."
Never underestimate the power of oaths. In this mainland filled with miracles, no one would dare violate their oaths, for fear of regretting the consequences in the future.
Once, there was a strong cultivator who broke his oath, and in the end, in accordance with the oath he made, his four limbs were broken and he was turned into ashes by lightning.
Thus, once you have made an oath, you had to follow it through!
Gu Ruoyun paused in her footsteps, she turned to look at the Ghost Doctor who was still gritting her teeth. She smiled as if she was getting away with some sinister plot.
"Take this Beauty Rejuvenation Pill."
Beauty Rejuvenation Pill? The Ghost Doctor was momentarily stunned. She looked hesitatingly at the pill in Gu Ruoyun’s hands. Finally, she took the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill and carefully swallowed it down.
The reason why the Ghost Doctor would daringly take the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, was entirely because she was an expert in poison. Furthermore, she had already become immune to most types of poison and was not afraid of being harmed by Gu Ruoyun.
"Hmph! Let’s see how you’re going to end this!"
The Ghost Doctor scoffed and replied mockingly.
However, just as she had finished speaking, the wounds on her face began to itch, as if ten thousand ants were crawling over her wounds. It was so itchy that she couldn’t help but raise up hands to her face to scratch her wounds…
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun's single rebuke stopped her hand.
"Don’t scratch, or you will bear the consequences on your own!"
"You…" The Ghost Doctor was infuriated to the point of insanity, "I’ve already become immune to most types of poison eight years ago, how is your medicine affecting me? What grudge do we have between us, for you to come here, simply to harm me?"
I have been too careless, she thought regretfully, thinking that I was immune to poison. And now, I have fallen into this little girl’s plot.
The Ghost Doctor grew so angry at the thought, that she gritted her teeth until it ached but she did not dare to make any reckless moves.
"Hon… Honorable Ghost Doctor, your face…" Mister Liu let out a cry out of shock. He was completely tongue-tied.
"What's happened to my face?"
The Ghost Doctor frowned and snatched up the mirror from a table. Then, with one glance, she was rooted to the ground in shock…
The terrible scars on her face were forming scabs bit by bit, then falling off her face. After every fallen scab, the light pink wounds then rapidly changed back into fair white skin …
There must be something wrong with my eyes! She thought in shock. That’s right, I must be going blind!
There was no need to mention about how hard it was to treat old wounds, even with the strongest medicines, there would not be any results so quickly. Furthermore, the scars were recovering at a speed that the human eye could clearly see.
What does this mean? She thought in panic. It was terribly frightening!
The Ghost Doctor stayed so still that she seemed lifeless. Suddenly, she burst into wild laughter — a kind that carried unbridled joy.
"You wretched couple… For the sake of stealing the Treasury of Medicine that the master left in my care, you joined forces and ruined my face… You've even poisoned the wounds you left, in order to use the antidote as a means to force me to give you the book. You probably never would have thought that I would successfully escape and cure the poison! It’s been ten years... For ten years, your betrayal has always come to mind whenever I look upon the wounds on my face! I never thought that I could ever recover my original appearance…"
