Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Chapter 16: Half of Haiyu City Is Yours

The shattered stones fell from the wall and hit the ground.

This sound broke the eerie silence, startling everyone awake from their shock, their minds quickly recalling what had just happened...

Uh, was the Dou family’s steward beaten?

Yes! And by a woman who seemed fragile, yet looked as beautiful as an immortal.

Was that punch heavy?

Mhm, very heavy! Didn’t you see how the Dou family’s steward turned into a puddle of mud?

"You... how dare you lay hands on the people of the Dou family!" Coming to his senses, one of the Dou family’s servants pointed at Mu Qingge, Xie Ya, Jing Hai, Shi Bo, and others, his voice trembling slightly.

Under his voice, the other servants quickly ran to the steward’s side, prying his almost lifeless body from the wall.

A fleeting look of discomfort flashed across Xie Ya’s exquisite face.

She walked behind Mu Qingge, and in a low, remorseful tone, she said, "I’m sorry, Young Master." She was apologizing for acting on her own earlier and beating the Dou family steward.

A cold smile played at the corner of Mu Qingge’s mouth. She ignored her and stepped forward, facing the Dou family’s servants, "The person has already been beaten, and you still ask whether we dare?"

"No! No no no... it’s none of my business, I don’t know them! What they did has nothing to do with me!" At this time, Shi Bo sat on the ground, utterly frightened, waving his hands desperately.

His reaction brought a hint of disappointment and heartache to Jing Hai’s eyes.

Perhaps, he never expected his childhood friend to abandon him in such a moment. Moreover, he really tried to kill him just now!

If not for Mu brother and the others...

The sorrow in Jing Hai’s eyes deepened, and he knew in his heart that the dagger Shi Bo raised at him earlier was not just a playful act. Had no one stopped him, he truly would have plunged that dagger into his chest.

The truth made the pain in Jing Hai’s eyes deepen further. He said to Mu Qingge and Xie Ya, "Mu brother, you must leave quickly!" As he spoke, he struggled to stand, addressing the Dou family’s servants, "This has nothing to do with them, it’s all because of me! If you’re going to kill someone, kill me! Come on! Kill me! If you don’t kill me today, I will definitely avenge today’s humiliation someday!"

Jing Hai stood up shakily, but in reality, he was already at the end of his strength, hanging on merely by willpower.

Yet he still stumbled forward to stand in front of Mu Qingge, spreading his arms to shield her.

"You brat, do you think you can still live! None of you will end well!" The Dou family’s servants yelled angrily but didn’t dare to make a move. After all, Xie Ya’s punch from earlier still carried some deterrent power.

"Xie Ya, help him away," Mu Qingge instructed Xie Ya softly.

Xie Ya’s expression stiffened, pressing her lips, and she quickly walked to Jing Hai’s side to help him leave.

But Jing Hai was stubborn too, unwilling to leave, repeatedly urging, "Sister, go quickly! The Dou family holds significant power in Haiyu City. You need to leave before they realize what’s happening."

Then he added apologetically, "I’m sorry. It’s my fault for bringing you here. I dragged you into this, now you must go quickly!"

Xie Ya shook her head, saying to him, "Stop talking now, Mu brother will handle everything."

With that, she pulled Jing Hai to one side.

Once cleared, a pellet of elixir was flicked into Xie Ya’s hand.

"Give it to him to swallow," Mu Qingge’s voice followed.

Xie Ya nodded slightly and without hesitation, immediately pushed the elixir into Jing Hai’s mouth.

After taking the elixir, Jing Hai instantly felt a relaxed sensation throughout his body. He looked at Mu Qingge in shock.

Mu Qingge spoke indifferently, "No need to thank me, you sheltered us for a night; consider this repayment for today’s events."

She glided her eyes over Shi Bo on the ground, then looked at the Dou family’s people, "I will take this youth away, if the Dou family has any objections, feel free to find me."

With that, she turned and walked away, Xie Ya supporting Jing Hai as they followed behind her.

They left boldly, their steps not hurried in the slightest. The Dou family’s servants, on the contrary, dared not obstruct them. After hesitating for a while, they sent someone to follow from afar, while the remaining ones took the steward back to report to their family head.

Shi Bo was left behind.

No one would bother with him now.

As Jing Hai was helped away, he gave Shi Bo a complex look before biting his lip and averting his gaze.

"Here will do," Mu Qingge stopped at an inn with decent decorations after walking a short distance. She stepped in, directly requesting three superior rooms from the innkeeper.

As they took Jing Hai into the inn, the Dou family’s servants had also arrived, watching them enter.

In another concealed corner, the Li family’s servants witnessed this scene and immediately turned away.

Inside the room at the inn, Mu Qingge instructed the waiter to bring hot water and purchased a clean yet simple outfit for Jing Hai based on his size.

When the hot water was brought in, Mu Qingge took out a bottle of green potion, pouring it into the water, before turning to Xie Ya, "Bring him over."

Xie Ya nodded and helped Jing Hai over to the wooden tub, placing him inside.

Jing Hai sat in the tub, looking bewildered.

However, shortly after, he could feel a peculiar force in the water seeping through his skin, healing his wounds.

Jing Hai’s mouth hung open in shock as he looked at Mu Qingge and Xie Ya.

Mu Qingge offered no further explanation, merely saying, "Undo your clothes and soak inside for half an hour." With that, she left the room with Xie Ya.

Even with the door closed, Jing Hai remained in a haze.

Did he really not believe they left so easily? That the Dou family didn’t come to trouble them?

...

After leaving Jing Hai’s room, Xie Ya followed behind Mu Qingge in silence, pressing her lips together.

Mu Qingge suddenly halted, her tone slightly cold as she said, "Only this once, never again."

Xie Ya’s body trembled, her head bowed lower, softly replying, "Yes."

"Hitting someone isn’t wrong," Mu Qingge added before entering her room.

Xie Ya paused for a moment, savoring Mu Qingge’s words.

He meant that it wasn’t wrong for her to act, the mistake was in not seeking his approval!

Xie Ya exhaled an almost imperceptible sigh.

"It seems this identity requires further adaptation," she murmured softly and walked towards Mu Qingge’s room.

"Young Master, the Dou family will likely come soon, as will the Li family... should we still stay in Haiyu City?" Xie Ya asked.

Mu Qingge picked up the teapot from the table.

Xie Ya hurried over, taking the teapot from her hands to pour her tea.

Mu Qingge glanced at her before slowly saying, "Exactly for that reason, staying in the city is the safest."

Xie Ya set the teapot down, looking at Mu Qingge, confused.

Mu Qingge said nothing more, only savoring her tea. In truth, the tea served at this inn wasn’t exceptional. Additionally, Mu Qingge wasn’t someone versed in tea.

Do not forget, she once was a frivolous idler devoid of any real skills.

So, the quality of the tea for her served only one purpose: to quench her thirst!

On the street outside the inn, two groups were approaching from different directions.

When they both arrived in front of the inn, they were taken aback.

A strange atmosphere emerged at the inn’s entrance. The people passing by instinctively took several steps back, clearing a large space at the entrance.

The Dou Family was led by another steward. However, compared to the guy who had been injured by Xie Ya before, he seemed much more advanced and imposing.

Seeing the people opposite, he walked forward with his head held high and declared arrogantly, "The Dou Family is handling matters here, irrelevant people, disperse."

The arrogant tone barely acknowledged the presence of the people opposite.

The people opposite actually did break into two columns at his command.

However, before the smug smile on the corner of his mouth could climb to its highest point, he suddenly froze, his eyes widening as he stared at the figure walking towards him from the middle.

"Li... Li Family Head!" His expression changed, and his previously proud posture immediately turned into a bowing humility. He even broke out in a cold sweat at the temples.

If the Li Family Head were just the Li Family Head, as an advanced steward of the Dou Family, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid.

The problem was, Li Yuntao was not only the Li Family Head, but also the top expert in Haiyu City!

He was someone who could crush him with a mere gesture, and no matter how much he relied on the Dou Family’s influence, he didn’t dare to act arrogantly in front of Li Yuntao.

The Dou Family steward’s face changed dramatically, his smile became awkward as he asked with a forced grin, "Why would the Li Family Head come here?"

A cold smile flickered across Li Yuntao’s lips as he looked at the Dou Family steward with mocking eyes and said, "Does Li need to report to your Dou Family wherever I go?"

The Dou Family steward shuddered all over and quickly replied, "No, no, we don’t dare!" His smile became more and more ugly, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch. He had important tasks to attend to, following orders to capture the unruly person who dared to insult the Dou Family on the street. Now, arriving at the place where that unruly person was hiding, he encountered a formidable presence from the Li Family, and it was Li Yuntao personally attending. What to do now?

A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, and the Dou Family steward could only tentatively ask, "Li Family Head, our Dou Family needs to handle some affairs here, could you... maybe grant some convenience?"

"Oh? What a coincidence, our Li Family also has matters to attend here." Li Yuntao coldly interrupted the Dou Family steward’s words.

The smile on the Dou Family steward’s face froze, and the muscles of half his face twitched along with his already stiff smile.

To him, it seemed as if Li Yuntao was deliberately making things difficult.

The Dou Family had business here, and he also had business here? Could it really be such a coincidence?

The Dou Family steward didn’t realize that it really was just that coincidental! Moreover, not only did they both need to attend to matters in the same place, but they were also looking for the same person!

The Dou Family steward’s eyes flickered, seemingly pondering a solution.

Shortly after, he squeezed out a smile again and said to Li Yuntao, "In that case, how about our two families take care of our own affairs?"

Li Yuntao laughed coldly, his eyes narrowing with a piercing gaze. The mocking glance, like a knife, shot at the Dou Family steward, making his scalp tingle, wishing only to leave this place quickly!

The Dou Family steward shivered suddenly and quickly said, "Then please let the Li Family Head handle your affairs first, and we will proceed afterward."

The conduct of the Li Family was notoriously arrogant and overbearing in Haiyu City, and he didn’t want to hit the muzzle of Li Yuntao!

Li Yuntao swept over him contemptuously and instructed the people he brought, "Guard this place well, and don’t let anyone in!" With that, he stepped towards the inn.

The Li Family members immediately closed in, forcefully squeezing the Dou Family members to the side, guarding every entrance and exit of the inn, sealing it watertight.

The onlookers speculated why the Li Family Head had come personally. Occasionally, someone would discuss how the Dou Family, now considered the first family in Haiyu City, had already been overshadowed by the Li Family.

Various discussions circulated among the crowd.

At this time, Li Yuntao was already standing in front of the innkeeper.

"Li... Li Family Head..." The innkeeper trembled as he stood in front of Li Yuntao, completely clueless about what had happened to warrant the appearance of such a distinguished figure.

"I didn’t know what brings the Li Family Head here?" The innkeeper steadied his mind and asked with a nervous smile.

Li Yuntao glanced at him from the corner of his eye and asked arrogantly, "Let me ask you, has your inn taken in a young master dressed in red, with outstanding looks and exceptional demeanor?"

The innkeeper was stunned, and the image of Mu Qingge immediately surfaced in his mind.

Without any hesitation, he nodded and eagerly replied, "Yes, yes, with him, there’s also an ethereal lady and a young boy with a gentle appearance." After a pause, he added, "However, the young boy seems to be seriously injured."

"All right, tell me which room he’s staying in." Li Yuntao impatiently interrupted the innkeeper.

He had no concern for the others, as long as the person he was looking for was indeed there.

"Yes, yes, Li Family Head, please follow me," the innkeeper discreetly wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly led the way in front.

...

In the room, Mu Qingge held the Jade Token for communication with the Dragon Tooth Guards, occasionally tapping it lightly.

After tapping it, she stored the Jade Token away.

The message she sent to the Dragon Tooth Guards was ’Floating Guest,’ but before they entered the Middle Ancient Realm, they were unaware of such a profession, so the password book they compiled then didn’t include those two words, forcing Mu Qingge to use a homophone as a substitute.

"I hope they understand my meaning," Mu Qingge murmured.

On the way to the Middle Ancient Realm, she had pondered how to establish herself upon arriving there.

The Middle Ancient Realm held many mysteries and was a completely unfamiliar place to her, so she had to rely on her own strength and abilities to establish a foothold.

The profession of a Floating Guest provided her with much inspiration.

In fact, the more she understood it during her interactions, the more she felt that the profession was tailor-made for the Dragon Tooth Guards.

Knock, knock—!

The sudden sound of knocking interrupted Mu Qingge’s thoughts.

There were many details that needed to be discussed in person with Mo Yang and the others. The hint she gave them about being a ’Floating Guest’ was also to hope they’d have some understanding of it before meeting, aware of her intentions.

"Come in." Mu Qingge composed herself.

The door opened, and Xie Ya entered. Her appearance was cold and otherworldly, carrying an ethereal aura. She walked up to Mu Qingge and said in a low voice, "Young Master, the Li Family Head is just outside."

A gleam flashed in Mu Qingge’s eyes, and she smiled faintly, "He should have come."

"Young Master, did you know that the Li Family would come for you?" Xie Ya asked in surprise upon hearing Mu Qingge’s words.

Mu Qingge simply smiled without answering, instead instructing her, "Xiao Hai should be almost done. Go check on him."

"Yes." Xie Ya said no more, just gave Mu Qingge a deep look before withdrawing.

Once she left, Li Yuntao appeared at Mu Qingge’s doorway.

"Li Family Head, please come in." Mu Qingge took a clean teacup from the tray, placed it opposite herself, and poured tea into it from the teapot.
