Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: No Stopping These Reckless Antics (11)

At this moment, music imbued with an ancient aura began to play.

A group of dancers dressed like priests appeared, performing strange dance steps and muttering incantations. They wore grotesque masks on their faces, resembling both ghosts and deities.

As they danced, they approached Mu Qingge, surrounding her.

The horsetail whisks in their hands brushed against her body from time to time, and they would grab handfuls of the pure water, sprinkling it over Mu Qingge’s head and body...

Soon, the dancers retreated.

The Ritual Officer then said, "Mu Qingge, come up to the stage!"

Mu Qingge obeyed, stepping up the stairs to the platform.

The platform was still covered with a red carpet, upon which a long table was placed, offering three sacrificial animals and six domestic animals, along with incense candles.

In front of the long table, there was a cushion, prepared for Mu Qingge.

She walked to the cushion and knelt down on both legs.

Then, she recited those ancient phrases she had memorized the day before.

After she finished reciting, the Ritual Officer stepped forward, opened the Mu Family genealogy, and solemnly wrote Mu Qingge’s name with a vermillion pen.

Having completed all this, Mu Xiong stepped forward, took out the prepared feathered crown, and personally placed it on Mu Qingge’s head.

"Ge’er, from this day forward, you are an adult. In the future, the Mu Family will also be entrusted to you," Mu Xiong said with complex emotions as he helped Mu Qingge up.

Mu Qingge nodded, smiling calmly, "Rest assured, grandfather, I will not disgrace the Mu Family."

Mu Xiong sighed with relief, "Grandfather only hopes you can be safe."

The deep affection between grandparent and grandchild was perhaps known only to the two of them.

Mu Xiong nodded without much thought. He said to the gathered people, "There’s been a minor incident at home. Please excuse me for a moment, I’ll be right back."

With that, he left the front courtyard with Mu Qingge, heading towards the study in the backyard.

As the grandfather and granddaughter just left, someone in the crowd proposed, "Why don’t we also go see what’s going on? If the lord needs help, we can lend a hand."

This proposition met almost no opposition.

Even Qin Jinchen, who was sitting in the corner trying hard to lower his presence, slowly stood up. After pondering for a moment, he followed the crowd.

A large group of people, in grand procession, followed Mu Xiong into the Mu Mansion’s backyard.

Mu Xiong had noticed it early on but didn’t say much.

In his view, there was nothing that couldn’t be shared with others. These people, regardless of their intentions, followed along simply because they did.
