"You’re Mu Qingge?! That’s impossible!" Taishi Xiong, waking up from a petrified state, had his voice turn sharp.
He widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the stunning woman before him.
Damn it! In the letter from Taishi Gao, that Mu Qingge was clearly supposed to be a minor lord from a third-class country. Hei Mu had fought her many times, and never mentioned she was a woman!
How did her gender change all of a sudden?
"Are you saying I’m lying?" Mu Qingge’s clear eyes narrowed.
Her expression was practically identical to Si Mo’s beside her, even the lines were the same!
Gu Ya silently clutched his heart, feeling the pang of the single life!
In his wise eyes, the little lord was clearly imitating their master’s attitude towards Taishi Xiong! And looking at his own master, oh, that smiling face, who is he doting on?
Isn’t he supposed to be the cold, aloof king who kills without blinking an eye?
Seeing his master soaked in the demeanor of romance, Gu Ya felt a character collapse.
"No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare..." Whether under the lingering influence of Si Mo or because Mu Qingge’s imitation was too lifelike, Taishi Xiong instinctively shook his head in denial.
His mind was in chaos, too many things were unclear.
He couldn’t understand why a man would turn into a woman?
He couldn’t understand why that woman, turned from a man, would appear beside the Holy King and even become his woman?
He couldn’t understand how their Myriad Beasts Sect ended up with the misfortune of provoking the Holy King’s woman?
And looking at their Holy King...
Taishi Xiong’s eyes landed on Si Mo, and he suddenly realized! This, this... the Holy King was clearly using their Myriad Beasts Sect as a way for the little lord to vent his anger!
Finally understanding, Taishi Xiong’s face changed, and he wisely said to Mu Qingge, "Little Lord, it was all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Ignorance is not to blame, I beg the little lord’s mercy!"
"Misunderstanding?" Mu Qingge let out a cold laugh, eyes full of disdain, "How about I kill you, and then tell your family it was a misunderstanding, alright?"
Taishi Xiong’s heart trembled, and he looked at her with eyes filled with fear.
If it were just Mu Qingge here, he wouldn’t fear; he’d just kill her again.
But now, beside her stood the greatest deity of Linchuan, this lord whom with just a pinch could annihilate the entire Myriad Beasts Sect.
Taishi Xiong’s heart itched with hatred, feeling that Mu Qingge’s move was too ruthless.
This support she had brought was simply a surefire treasure!
A true man knows when to yield and when to stand tall, and revenge is never late by ten years!
Taishi Xiong gritted his teeth and said to Mu Qingge, "Alright! I admit defeat on this matter. Whatever the little lord wants our Myriad Beasts Sect to do to make amends, just say it, and I, Taishi Xiong, will comply!"
"Admitting is good, saves rumors of me using power to oppress others." Mu Qingge’s eyes were cold, her smile devoid of warmth.
Gu Ya muttered in his heart, "Little lord, isn’t this still using power to oppress others?"
Taishi Xiong, feeling aggrieved, said, "Please, little lord, just say it!" He thought he could settle the matter by apologizing and giving some offerings.
He had no idea that wasn’t what Mu Qingge wanted at all.
"Taishi Gao is dead, Hei Mu is dead, everyone you sent to the Holy Yuan Empire from the Myriad Beasts Sect is dead." Mu Qingge suddenly said nonchalantly.
"What!" Taishi Xiong’s eyes widened. This news made his face contort with rage, wishing to charge and tear Mu Qingge apart.
However, Gu Ya stood in his way, and Si Mo looked at him coldly, making him unable to act.
"Do you know how they died?" Mu Qingge sneered playfully, her tone as cold as ice, "Those who kill me, I will kill in return!"
’It was you who killed my son!’ Taishi Xiong’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a sound.
He stared at Mu Qingge, unable to suppress the anger in his eyes. The hatred kept rising, almost bursting out.
However, Mu Qingge was indifferent.
It seemed that the angrier Taishi Xiong got, the happier she became.
Her hands were behind her back, the red robe on her form billowed in the wind, wild and unrestrained. She looked at Taishi Xiong and said with a cold smile, "There’s another saying I’ve always upheld. Do you know what it is?"
Taishi Xiong clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, and his eyes full of hatred.
Mu Qingge smiled and said, "When people offend me, I show courtesy. When they offend again, I eradicate the problem at its root!" The last four words were filled with killing intent, expressing her true intentions.
Taishi Xiong heard the murderous intent in her words, his expression changed, and he looked towards Si Mo, saying, "Your Majesty! Will you allow this woman to act recklessly?"
Si Mo looked at him indifferently and said something that almost made Taishi Xiong spit blood. "If it were up to me, you’d already have been turned to mince meat by now."
"Your Majesty! Our Myriad Beasts Sect has stood tall in Linchuan for a thousand years. To erase it completely, aren’t you afraid it will disrupt the balance of power in Linchuan?" Taishi Xiong still tried to struggle.
Si Mo’s eyes, full of contempt.
He no longer looked at Taishi Xiong but turned to Mu Qingge, his cold eyes instantly filled with tenderness as he softly asked, "Isn’t my little Ge’er tired yet? Don’t exhaust yourself too much."
Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, this man was actually urging her to hurry up and kill?!
Alright, she liked this aspect very much, it was a surefire way to win!
Taishi Xiong bit his lip and glared at her.
But Mu Qingge merely let out a scornful laugh, speaking to him, "Taishi Xiong, watch closely, this is what it means for your power to crumble before your eyes."
She glanced down at those below, showing not a hint of pity in her clear eyes, only indifference. She flipped her palm, and a bone flute slipped into it.
"Beast Taming Flute!" Taishi Xiong exclaimed as he watched the bone flute in Mu Qingge’s hand.
Mu Qingge chuckled, toying with the Beast Taming Flute in her hand, and said to Taishi Xiong, "I hear this is your treasure. I wonder how you feel knowing I’m using it now on your sect?"
She then started to play, and the flute’s unique melody floated out, spreading throughout the Myriad Beasts Sect, reaching both inside and outside.
The sound of the flute wasn’t only heard by the people, as their spirit beasts grew restless.
The further the sound traveled, the more the beasts released from the Beast Storage Bags became frenzied, turning on their own masters.
"No! This can’t be happening!" Taishi Xiong shouted, visibly distressed.
But Mu Qingge was unaffected by his pleas.
Screams erupted below.
People of the Myriad Beasts Sect were getting ravaged by their own spirit beasts.
Countless spirit beasts stormed in from the woods, crashing through the gates of the Myriad Beasts Sect, initiating a ferocious rampage!
Mu Qingge smiled with pity in her eyes at Taishi Xiong, saying, "Watch closely, this is how your power crumbles before your very eyes."
Those below, who once shared blood with him, were caught in the chaos.
Were they innocent?
In Mu Qingge’s clear eyes, there wasn’t a trace of sympathy.
In times of chaos, heroes are forged, and every power rises by going through periods of splendor.
Because of a wrong decision made by their Sect Master, because of their Young Master’s unwillingness to be humiliated, because of their Great Elder’s greed, today’s disaster happened.
She is not a Saint, but a mortal seeking revenge!
In this sect that survives by taming beasts, whose hands are truly clean? Even if not stained with human blood, they bear the blood of beasts.
Are those humans and beasts who died at their hands truly innocent?
In this world, there is only survival of the fittest, there is no right or wrong innocence!
The Myriad Beasts Sect was instantly destroyed.
Everyone died at the mouths and under the claws of the spirit beasts they once controlled.
Taishi Xiong was also thrown into the mouths of spirit beasts by Gu Ya in the end, torn apart to death.
Mu Qingge put away the Beast Taming Flute, looked one last time at the lifeless Myriad Beasts Sect, then turned to Si Mo and said, "Let’s go, the Refining Tower."
...
The Refining Tower is located in the Flame Forest in the south of Rong Country.
Upon returning to Yue City, Mu Qingge’s mood was different from the first time she came.
The first time, she passed through with Shang Zisu from the Medicine Tower Headquarters, with the purpose of obtaining the Mixed Element Heavenly Extreme Flame in the Endless Swamp. It was here that she and Shang Zisu met the lecherous Ding Mao, leading to enmity with the Refining Tower.
Afterwards, in the Endless Swamp, she seized the Mixed Element Heavenly Extreme Flame, provoking the Refining Tower’s pursuit. They coveted not only the flame but also the Linglong Spear in her hand.
Chased all the way, she fled from the south of Rong Country to the west, into the Ghost Sea, reaching the Ancient Witch Country.
Several encounters deepened the grudge between them.
Until later, Lou Xuantie, the director of the Refining Tower, openly wanted her life, making the enmity irreconcilable.
In an inn in Yue City, silence prevailed, with not a soul inside.
The inn’s front door was tightly shut, displaying a ’Full’ sign.
But clearly, there wasn’t a shadow of a person inside. Even the waiter and the boss were nowhere to be seen.
In a room on the second floor by the window, the window was opened, with a pair of legs crossed and propped on the window sill, facing the outside’s scenic view of lakes and mountains.
Peeled fruit segments were carefully brought to vibrant red lips, the owner of the red lips opened them, biting the fruit segment, and eating it.
After chewing, she swallowed and frowned, "Too sour."
Si Mo watched her with amusement, suddenly lowering his head to peck lightly on her vivid red lips, retreating before she could react.
Mu Qingge glared at him with feigned anger.
Si Mo responded earnestly, "Will it become a bit sweeter this way?"
"..." Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched subtly, pursed her lips, at a loss for words.
She turned her head away, avoiding the man’s intense gaze, not letting him see her blushing uncontrollably.
Mu Qingge’s shy appearance was a rare sight.
Si Mo’s amber eyes gleamed with tiny starlights, wrapped in tenderness. His deep eyes reflected only the silhouette of Mu Qingge.
He set down the fruit in his hand, stretched his long arm, and directly held Mu Qingge, placing her on his lap.
Mu Qingge was startled, her surprised clear eyes, innocent as a fawn, her expression of shock made Si Mo’s gaze grow thicker.
"Ge’er..." Si Mo’s voice turned slightly hoarse, his slender fingers gently rubbing her red, vivid lips.
The touch on her lips made Mu Qingge shiver all over.
The temperature of her skin quickly rose, as if she had fallen into a furnace.
She slapped away Si Mo’s mischievous hand, awkwardly saying, "Stop getting aroused."
Si Mo laughed softly, burying his head in Mu Qingge’s neck. Chuckling, he said, "Yes! My little Ge’er has grown up, I’m indeed afraid I won’t be able to control myself."
Mu Qingge was so tensed by Si Mo’s words.
She quickly leaped out of his embrace, putting distance between them, sternly warning, "Ahem, although I agreed to date you, we need to take it step by step, not progressing too fast."
"Like what?" Si Mo’s handsome and calm face looked completely innocent.
"Like..." Mu Qingge’s expression turned awkward, she really didn’t know how to say it. When it came to handling romantic relationships, she was truly a novice. She just felt that the emotional development between two people needs to progress gradually to be stable.
Moreover, she vaguely recalled comrades discussing personal emotional issues in her past life, saying that for men, the easier something is to obtain, the less it is cherished; the harder it is to get, the more it is treasured.
"For example, we can hold hands, hug, and kiss little mouths, and discuss anything else later!" Mu Qingge said, enduring her inner embarrassment and pressing on.
Si Mo uttered an ’oh’, reached out to hold her hand, and when Mu Qingge attempted to struggle, he softly recited, "Holding hands."
Immediately, Mu Qingge froze, the phrase was like a command, causing her to stop struggling.
Then, Mu Qingge was once again pulled into Si Mo’s embrace, sitting on his lap. In her ear came the man’s warm whisper, "Hugging."
"And then..." Si Mo used his slender fingers to lift Mu Qingge’s chin, when she widened her eyes, covering her slightly parted red lips with his cool lips.
Mu Qingge clearly felt Si Mo’s lips connecting with hers.
Very soft and tender, a bit cool, with a unique fragrance that didn’t repel her.
While Mu Qingge was momentarily lost, Si Mo easily pried open her defenses with the tip of his tongue, deepening the kiss.
This kiss was more lingering than the one at the Divine Abandoned Land. Si Mo also kissed with more focus, as if savoring the most delicious, most wonderful nectar in the world.
Sweet, fragrant, making one linger.
As Mu Qingge gradually became intoxicated with the kiss, Si Mo suddenly pulled away.
The cool wind blew over Mu Qingge’s swollen red lips, the slight chill woke her up.
Her clear eyes stared at Si Mo with a hint of confusion.
Si Mo looked seriously at her and said, "Kissing little mouths!"
Mu Qingge was momentarily stunned, then immediately reacted. Her expression changed instantly!
Ah! This man was using her words against her!
How infuriating!
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed dangerously, pouncing on him like a hungry wolf, cradling Si Mo’s perfect face in her hands, and bit down hard on his lips.
Si Mo’s lower lip trembled slightly in pain, but he did not resist, letting Mu Qingge vent her dissatisfaction.
Until a hint of blood spread in both their mouths, only then did Mu Qingge loosen her teeth, putting distance between them.
She licked the corner of her lips, the taste of Si Mo’s blood still lingered in her mouth.
Looking at the man again, his cherry pink lips bore a deep bite mark, with blood traces remaining, appearing particularly seductive.
Si Mo looked at her, the color of his amber eyes gradually deepened, as if a reddish mist was flowing in the deepest part.
Under his watch, Mu Qingge suddenly felt dry in the mouth and thirsty.
The surrounding air seemed to heat up significantly, making her feel sultry.
Even though a cool breeze blew by the window, it couldn’t dispel the internal heat from her body.
Just as the atmosphere between them grew more awkward and ambiguous, suddenly there came two knocks at the door, shattering everything in the room.
Mu Qingge quickly jumped off Si Mo’s body and leaned against the window sill.
Si Mo looked deeply at her, raised his hand to softly wipe his lip. The wound bitten by Mu Qingge miraculously healed.
Without any unusualness, Si Mo slowly said, "Enter." However, his voice was a bit cold, sounding as if he wanted to kill.
Why was that? Even a fool could tell why.
She tried hard to hold back laughter, provocatively raising a brow at him.
Gu Ya and Gu Ye entered after the door opened, immediately sensing something amiss flow in the room.
And, what was with their master’s expression like he wanted to kill someone?
Uh...
Gu Ye smartly retracted his step, making Gu Ya stand out.
Noticing Gu Ye’s actions, it was already too late. Gu Ya had no choice but to silently curse and reluctantly deliver the investigated information.
"Master, Young Lord. These are the documents the Young Lord requested." Gu Ya said.
They arrived at Yue City half a day ago, and originally they were supposed to go straight to the Refining Tower to resolve matters and then return to the Holy Yuan Empire. However, Mu Qingge suddenly had them investigate some information.
They spent half a day and got results.
