Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559: Chapter 203: So Many Treasures My Hands Are Cramping!

Red and white intermingling, graceful yet wild, solitary and unruly, as soon as the two appeared, the surroundings of the Li Palace Mountains instantly dimmed, as if the brilliance of heaven and earth had concentrated on these two people.

"Truly a perfect match!" Jiang Li smiled with curved lips, her golden eyes filled with joy for Mu Qingge.

Standing behind her, Huangfu Huan murmured, "I and the Empress are also a match."

This sentence immediately made the smile on Jiang Li’s face disappear, and her aura instantly became distant.

Sensing the change in her aura, Huangfu Huan sighed helplessly, choosing to remain silent.

Yet, his eyes were still full of fighting spirit, as if Jiang Li’s resistance only made the challenge greater, fueling his desire to win.

As Mu Qingge approached, everyone on the scene was filled with amazement.

Mu Qingge’s men’s attire had already astonished them, but they had not expected that upon changing back into women’s attire, she would not only avoid awkwardness but be so beautiful that it became hard to look away.

She possessed not only unmatched beauty but also unparalleled demeanor.

Everyone who saw her wanted to possess her, yet dared not profane her, only able to admire from afar.

Mo Yang, who had just arrived at Tiandu, was somewhat dazed while looking at Mu Qingge. This was his first time seeing her in women’s attire. She was so beautiful, beyond all he had ever imagined.

So much had happened, and the fact that he wasn’t by her side at such a time frustrated and filled him with regret.

Now, as she walked out holding someone else’s hand, even if they were a perfect match, even if this man was Linchuan’s strongest, he still didn’t want his little lord to be betrothed so easily.

When Mu Qingge arrived before the crowd, the awestruck people had already lowered their gazes, not daring to look straight at her.

After all, standing beside her was an even greater deity!

Si Mo’s icy gaze swept over them, extinguishing any wicked thoughts and chaotic emotions in their hearts.

Mu Qingge released Si Mo’s hand and walked towards Jiang Li and others.

Once before them, Mu Qingge smiled and asked, "Is everything alright now?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Thanks to you, I had quite a few elixirs sent by the Medicine Tower."

Mu Qingge chuckled, her gaze falling on Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei.

The two had suffered quite a loss this time, which made Mu Qingge feel apologetic. Yet seeing them today, there wasn’t a bit of blame visible.

Zhao Nanxing said to Mu Qingge, "Don’t worry about us; those injuries have long healed. My cultivation even advanced, so it was actually good."

Mu Qingge’s eyes shimmered with surprise, and upon careful inspection, Zhao Nanxing’s aura had indeed entered the blue realm’s middle rank.

"Congratulations, Senior Zhao." Mu Qingge nodded with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries with the three, Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on the seven Dragon Tooth Guards, noticing Mo Yang, she was slightly taken aback.

She walked towards them and stopped in front of Mo Yang.

Mo Yang’s body stiffened, immediately kneeling on one knee, saluting, "I arrived late, please forgive me, little lord!"

Mu Qingge looked at him, "Stand up."

Mo Yang obeyed and stood, tightly pursing his lips, his posture upright like a sword, meeting her gaze.

"How’s the training going?" Mu Qingge asked.

"Everything proceeded according to the little lord’s plan, without any surprises." Mo Yang replied.

"Very good." Mu Qingge nodded, then turned and walked towards the Imperial Family and the three major families. Originally, the Lan Family’s positions had been divided among them, and at this moment, members from the three families and the Imperial Family stood together.

"Emperor Yuan, Shen Family Head, Jing Family Head, Hua Family Head." Mu Qingge greeted them one by one.

"Little Lord Mu."

These big figures, upon seeing Mu Qingge again, had tacitly established the hierarchy between them.

Actually, she had no substantial conversations with these people, as they wouldn’t enter the Ancient Ruins anyway. She simply greeted them, then turned her attention to Shen Bicheng, Hua Qinxin, Jing Tian, and Huangfu Huan.

In the Trial Space, when she was surrounded by the three major forces, they had extended help.

Whether or not it had any practical effect, at least their intent was received.

Shen Bicheng and Huangfu Huan were alright; in previous meetings, thanks had been given and words were spoken. What remained were Hua Qinxin and Jing Tian, whom she was seeing for the first time since then.

Seeing Mu Qingge again, and looking at her in women’s attire, Hua Qinxin felt a flooding grievance, biting her lip, her expression appearing pitiful.

The person she fancied had turned out to be a woman. What could she do?

Even though she didn’t mind that Mu Qingge was a woman, could Hua Qinxin compete with the Holy King for a woman?

Alas, all her resentment and discomfort could only be swallowed down in silence.

When Jing Tian saw Mu Qingge again, his feelings were the most complicated.

He hadn’t expected that the person who always overshadowed him, making him disdainful, grudging, and then jealous, only to finally admire, turned out to be an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Knowing Mu Qingge’s true identity, he often wondered, if he had known from the start that Mu Qingge was a woman, would he have continued along the same path?

Would he have admired Mu Qingge, would he have pursued such a woman, regardless of cost?

But all that was mere fantasy; what was done could not be repeated.

"Thank you for speaking out on that day in the Trial Space. If there’s a chance, I’ll repay the favor." Mu Qingge’s words were far more distant than with others.

Yet, it indicated her position. She acknowledged their support.

Hua Qinxin stomped her foot, coquettishly saying, "Who cares about your favor?" As she finished, she turned and walked towards her mother.

Hua Qinxin’s attitude made Mu Qingge’s lips twitch, but she said no more.

She looked at Jing Tian, who also said after a moment of silence, "I didn’t help much, instead fled at the last moment. Little Lord Mu need not mind."

"Given the situation, I wanted to leave too but couldn’t. Young Master Jing’s willingness to stand out was noted." Mu Qingge said, then turned towards the Qin Country’s team.

She did not return to Si Mo’s side, as from this moment, she represented Qin Country.

Each team had eight people who could enter the Ancient Ruins, and naturally, those Mu Qingge led in were her Dragon Tooth Guards.

Jiang Li brought her Ancient Witch Country’s female officials and guards.

Other countries also brought their chosen elites.

Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei split their eight into four for each country.

Similarly, Yu Country and Rong Country had four each.

Mu Qingge did not exclude Rong Country but rather gave them an opportunity to enter, winning their gratitude. Their resentment at being relegated to a third-class country also eased somewhat.

"Let’s go." With everyone assembled, Si Mo waved his hand, and a black hole the height of a person appeared before everyone.

Gu Ya was the first to leap inside, and the others followed.

Mu Qingge was in no hurry, only waiting for others to enter first.

Jiang Li came over, with a mischievous smile on her face, low whispering to her, "These days in the Li Palace, was the time well spent?"

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed as she looked at her, suddenly squinting, countering, "You’ve been having a good time too, haven’t you?"

"What?" Jiang Li hadn’t reacted immediately.

It wasn’t until Mu Qingge shifted her gaze to Huangfu Huan that Jiang Li’s expression changed, saying to her, "Stop talking nonsense, I have no interest in him."

"I think he’s quite good." Mu Qingge said curiously.

Jiang Li scoffed, "There are many good people under the sky. Am I supposed to accept them all? Not feeling it is not feeling it, and that’s an indisputable fact!"

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, knowing Jiang Li’s view on love was indeed different from most people’s in this era, so she didn’t try to persuade her.

When most people had gone, Si Mo’s gaze fell on her.

Mu Qingge cleared her throat lightly, urging Jiang Li, "Let’s go."

Jiang Li looked at her ambiguously, "Find a chance to tell me how far you two have progressed."

Mu Qingge coldly laughed, "If you aren’t afraid, you can ask him yourself."

Jiang Li paused, immediately saying angrily, "Mu Qingge, are you shameless to treat me like this? Burning the bridge after crossing, huh?"

Mu Qingge innocently asked, "How have I burnt the bridge?"

"You just want me to die!" Jiang Li gritted her teeth.

Mu Qingge laughed, "If you don’t ask, naturally you won’t seek death. Not seeking death, naturally you won’t die."

With that, she laughed heartily, leading her people towards the black hole.

Jiang Li stomped her foot in frustration, yelling, "You and your rogue logic!"

"What happened?" Mu Qingge walked to Si Mo’s side, and Si Mo raised an eyebrow asking.

"Nothing, just encountering a gossip." Mu Qingge smiled, meeting his gaze for a moment before stepping into the black hole.

Once she left, Si Mo furrowed his brow, murmuring softly, "Gossip?" Then his eyes, like amber, swept towards Jiang Li, who was so angry smoke was almost coming out of her seven apertures.

When Si Mo’s gaze swept over her, Jiang Li instantly felt a chill run down her spine.

She composed herself, and with the people from the Ancient Witch Country, quickly leaped into the black hole.

Those who were going to the Ancient Ruins had already entered the black hole. The remaining Emperor Yuan, the three Family Heads, and the guards who brought people to clear the area at the foot of Li Palace Mountain, all kneeled on one knee to bid farewell to Si Mo.

Si Mo looked at them indifferently and coldly said, "From now on, if anything happens to the Mu Family, I will bury the entire Linchuan with them! Take care of yourselves."

After saying this, he too entered the black hole. The black hole immediately disappeared.

A chill breeze brushed past the necks of those present, making their backs shiver and their hearts race.

Emperor Yuan and the three Family Heads exchanged glances, quickly analyzing the intentions of the Holy King.

Moments later, the Shen Family Head was the first to stand up, patting the dirt off his clothes, "I should hurry and send someone to check how many people there are in the Mu Family."

Emperor Yuan also stood up, "In the Mu Family, aside from the young Lord Mu, there’s Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong. If you include her husband, Xue Qiao of the Xue Family from Yu Country, there are just four of them."

The Hua Family Head glanced at them and ponderously said, "So does the Holy King mean that as long as those four are safe, or that no one related to the Mu Family can be harmed?"

Her words left everyone silent.

Eventually, the Jing Family Head said, "In any case, nothing can happen to the Mu Family. Otherwise, it’ll be bad for us."

...

The other side of the black hole was an endless desert.

As soon as they emerged, they felt the dry airflow and intense heat.

The harsh environment made everyone feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, with Gu Ya standing there, no one dared to voice any complaints.

The Black Servant of the Holy King by Si Mo’s side was not someone to be trifled with!

After a while, Si Mo appeared.

He walked straight to Mu Qingge, who asked, "Why did it take so long?"

Si Mo smiled and replied, "Gave them a few instructions."

While the two talked, everyone automatically avoided them. Who would dare to eavesdrop? Were they tired of living?

"What instructions?" Mu Qingge asked curiously. For some reason, she felt that Si Mo’s words were related to her.

Si Mo didn’t hide it and told her, "I told them if anything happens to the Mu Family from now on, I’ll bury the entire Linchuan with them."

"Did you really say that?" Mu Qingge was stunned.

Si Mo nodded.

Si Mo’s actions surprised her, but they also touched her.

As clever as she was, how could she not understand Si Mo’s intentions in doing this?

Her days of leaving Linchuan were near, but she couldn’t take her grandfather and aunt with her. She had to walk her own path and couldn’t force her grandfather and aunt to accompany her.

So, the family she cared most about would stay in Linchuan.

This was her greatest tie and concern.

Si Mo’s actions undoubtedly gave her the greatest assurance. It allowed her to move forward without worries, not having to fret about her family’s safety.

She believed that with Si Mo’s words laid down, even if outsiders came to trouble the Mu Family later, the major powers in Linchuan would not sit idly by.

Of course, she would also strive to enhance the capabilities of the Mu Family Army and her grandfather before leaving.

The most reliable is always one’s own ability!

"Thank you," Mu Qingge softly said to Si Mo. Thanking him for considering everything for her, thanking him for his silent contribution.

Whether it was the previous Reverse Curse or the current verbal threat, it was all for her. If it weren’t for her, Si Mo would still be the aloof god indifferent to everything.

It was she who had brought him into the mundane affairs of the world.

Si Mo raised his hand, his elegantly long fingers brushing aside Mu Qingge’s long hair from her forehead, smiling at her: "If you truly want to thank me, why not marry me sooner?"

Mu Qingge was taken aback, then broke into a smile. She patted Si Mo’s chest and promised him, "Don’t worry. Sooner or later, I’ll carry you back with a grand eight-carriage bridal procession and a ten-mile red dowry!"

Having said that, she laughed heartily and walked towards the crowd.

Si Mo froze, seemingly contemplating the error in Mu Qingge’s words.

But then, a deep smile surfaced in his amber-colored eyes, and he thought, "Alright, I’ll wait for Ge’er to marry me."

"What is this place?" Mu Qingge asked as she approached Jiang Li.

Jiang Li rolled her eyes at her and replied, "Wandering Soul Desert."

"Wandering Soul Desert? The northernmost border of Linchuan?" Mu Qingge said in surprise.

They had merely passed through a small black hole and had appeared thousands of miles away!

Could it be that the Ancient Ruins Si Mo brought them to were somewhere within the Wandering Soul Desert? But—

Mu Qingge quickly glanced around, seeing only barren yellow sands with no buildings, much less ruins.

She wasn’t the only one puzzled.

It’s just that, with Gu Ya and Si Mo present, they didn’t dare discuss too much.

Then, Gu Ya approached and told everyone, "Rest on the spot." Having said so, he turned and left coolly.

"Rest on the spot?" Jiang Li looked around the desert. This dry environment made her very displeased. She nudged Mu Qingge’s arm and whispered, "Hey, go ask your almighty when we’ll leave this place."

Mu Qingge tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Since we have to wait, there must be a reason. Just be patient."

"You haven’t even married, yet you’re siding with the outside?" Jiang Li said angrily.

But Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows, smiling, "Who said I’m getting married? This lord is going to marry!"

Jiang Li was stunned, staring wide-eyed at her, unable to utter a single word, eventually giving her a thumbs-up.

...

With the order to rest on the spot, everyone sat down in groups of three or four.

Those sitting with Mu Qingge naturally included Jiang Li, Zhao Nanxing, and Feng Yufei. Huangfu Huan wished to join them, but Jiang Li glared at him, sending him back with a single look.

With the mighty present, no one dared to speak recklessly, so they quietly cultivated and patiently waited.

After some time, Mu Qingge slowly opened her eyes and said to Zhao Nanxing, Feng Yufei, and Jiang Li, "At the Ancient Ruins, each person can only bring out three items. No need to be overly eager. Don’t compete with others; prioritize your own safety."

Her words left them puzzled.

But Mu Qingge did not elaborate further. She couldn’t possibly tell them that she planned to use a space artifact to plunder the Ancient Ruins.

With this cheat-like Divine Artifact, her friends wouldn’t have to risk their lives for a treasure or two. Once they were out, she would naturally select a few treasures to give them.

"Understood." Though unsure of Mu Qingge’s intent, Feng Yufei trusted her completely.

No further questions, just compliance.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Qingge added, "Once inside, we might not be together, so don’t intentionally search for each other. Focus on honing your skills. If danger arises, don’t fight to the death; retreat to the safe zone and wait to be extracted."

They nodded in agreement.

Jiang Li eagerly said, "I’m really curious about what treasures might be in the Ancient Ruins."

"We can stay inside the Ancient Ruins for half a month. Above all, be cautious," Mu Qingge repeatedly urged.

Her demeanor left Jiang Li and the others puzzled.

Zhao Nanxing gently said, "Qingge, what are you worried about?"

Jiang Li bluntly said, "Why so fussy all of a sudden?"

Even Feng Yufei gave Mu Qingge a look of confusion and concern.

Mu Qingge smiled, but didn’t explain. Because she didn’t know how to explain, ever since she learned that the people before her had already died once, she couldn’t bear the thought of them getting into danger again.

That feeling of losing and regaining them was hard to articulate.

The Wandering Soul Desert, a rumored place where one leaves Linchuan. It is said that once this desert is crossed, one can enter the Middle Ancient Realm.

However, this was not the route Mu Qingge considered for departure.

The place she chose to leave from was the Bitter Sea next to the Ancient Witch Country.

Because in existing records, successful cases of leaving through the Wandering Soul Desert and entering the Middle Ancient Realm were only twice. Yet, there were seven successful cases of leaving through the Bitter Sea and entering the Middle Ancient Realm.

The ratio made her choose to leave via the Bitter Sea without hesitation.

Of course, she could also choose to have Si Mo take her into the Middle Ancient Realm, but then she would miss out on the experience of this journey and shorten the time to accumulate Spiritual Power.
