Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 590

Chapter 590: Chapter 25: Lift Your Head, I’ll Take You Away!

"No matter who makes the final bid, I’ll outbid them by a hundred pieces."

The seemingly casual words were like a stone thrown into an already turbulent lake, stirring the undercurrents beneath the surface.

"It’s him! No, it can’t be him! I must be mistaken!"

Qin Yiyao’s body stiffened, her beautiful face filled with shock.

At this moment, she forgot her surroundings, forgot the people she hadn’t yet killed, forgot the many life-and-death encounters she’d faced. She forgot the pain she had experienced... In front of her, and in her mind, remained only that flamboyant figure in red.

On that incredibly handsome face, there seemed to always be a defiant smile.

Qin Yiyao couldn’t believe her ears, that person shouldn’t appear here. But this voice, she had long since ingrained it into her soul, how could she hear it wrong?

Qin Yiyao seemed to hear the anger hidden in that nonchalant tone.

He’s angry! He’s angry!

Qin Yiyao painfully closed her eyes. Leaning against the golden cage, she finally had a reaction. She wanted to escape from here, she dared not face that person, didn’t want him to see her pathetic state.

Once, she had imagined countless reunions, where she could calmly tell him she was fine. But now? No wonder he’s angry.

Qin Yiyao’s body began to tremble, she dared not look at the shadow-cast audience seats, she just slowly retracted her legs, tightly hugging her knees, allowing her hair to cover her face and line of sight.

As if, by doing so, she could protect herself, placing herself in a corner where no one could see her.

On the auction stage, amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Qin Yiyao’s every slight movement and expression were completely captured by Mu Qingge’s eyes.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Qingge knew she had recognized her voice.

However, Qin Yiyao’s panic and evasion stirred a hint of anger in Mu Qingge’s heart. Did she really not want to see her so much?

But soon, Mu Qingge also let it go.

After all, she was still the enemy who had killed Qin Yiyao’s parents and brothers, what kind of attitude should she expect her to face herself with?

The anger in Mu Qingge’s heart subsided a bit, but her eyes still focused on Qin Yiyao in the golden cage.

The scrutinizing, examining gazes around her fell on her, but she was completely unaware.

The auction venue quieted down.

Initially shocked by Mu Qingge’s words, but later because they didn’t know how to bid.

Mu Qingge’s bold words were like a direct punch to the Five Great Families, catching them off guard and unable to retaliate.

How could they?

She had already said, no matter who bids, she would add a hundred pieces more. What meaning did it have for them to continue bidding?

"Sir, you shouldn’t speak so big. You just spent four hundred and twenty Spirit Stones. Are you sure you have enough Spirit Stones left?" A voice with a hint of coldness came from the Wan Family.

Jiang Tianyi immediately echoed, "That’s right, since you’re so bold, I bid fi... three thousand! Dare you add more?" He originally wanted to shout five thousand low-level Spirit Stones, but that was beyond his limit, and what if he was tricked? To be safe, he changed his bid mid-sentence.

Mu Qingge silently sneered and said slowly, "Whether I have enough Spirit Stones is not for you two to worry about. Everyone else should weigh if what they have in their pockets is enough. Who reminded me just now, didn’t they say this place doesn’t accept credit?"

This sentence caused the faces of the four families, except for Sheng Yuli, to darken.

They could consider the woman in the golden cage as a prize before the prestigious tournament, a preliminary contest, but that didn’t mean their families would allow them to act recklessly, spending so many Spirit Stones to buy a woman home!

Three thousand low-level Spirit Stones were already enough for a family disciple’s three years of cultivation expenses. As family elite disciples, the Spirit Stones they received each month were only five hundred.

For a playboy like Jiang Tianyi, five thousand Spirit Stones in his personal stash was already his limit.

Spending his entire fortune to buy a woman, especially one who had killed his own family? He really couldn’t bear it!

"What? Does what I said not count?" In the quiet auction hall, Mu Qingge looked at the White Ghost Mask on the auction stage.

The White Ghost Mask hesitated, seemingly encountering such a situation for the first time. He quickly steadied himself and confirmed with Mu Qingge again: "Customer, are you saying no matter how much others bid, you’ll outbid their final price by a hundred low-level Spirit Stones?"

"That’s right." Mu Qingge answered crisply.

It seemed as if what was being offered were not spirit stones, but merely some stones that could easily be picked up off the ground.

Upon hearing this confident voice, Qin Yiyao curled up even tighter, her posture full of helplessness and unease.

"Guest, this is not a place for jokes," the White Ghost Mask reminded.

Mu Qingge replied calmly, "Do you think I’m joking?"

The White Ghost Mask was silent for a moment, his attitude speaking volumes.

’What’s wrong with Sister Yiyao?’ Sheng Susu noticed Qin Yiyao’s abnormality. The Yiyao she knew was always calm and wise; even in deep trouble, she remained composed. But now, she seemed as helpless as a child.

As if, in this moment, she had shed all her disguises and her strength, revealing only her most genuine self.

Worried and puzzled, Sheng Susu glanced at her, while beside her, Sheng Yuli felt a pang seeing Qin Yiyao like this. This woman had captured his full attention from the moment she appeared.

At that moment, seeing her in such a state, he was pained and wanted so much to rush over, rescue her, hold her in his arms, gently comfort her, dispel her helplessness, and become her support.

Such feelings, he had never felt in over twenty years. He feared they would never surface again!

However, there was a huge obstacle in his way if he intended to rescue her.

Sheng Yuli turned to Mu Qingge, speaking sincerely, "Young Master, this lady has done me a favor, I beg you to make things easy." Mu Qingge’s actions earlier made him think she was someone reasonable, as long as he expressed his stance, she should withdraw from bidding.

After all, up until now, Mu Qingge’s display was only that of a reckless ’spendthrift’ squandering ’wealth.’

In Sheng Yuli’s expectations, Mu Qingge should give him some face.

But to his surprise, Mu Qingge merely cast a cool glance at him, saying coldly, "Sorry, I am determined to have her."

Having said that, she stood up, walked leisurely down from the guests’ seats, and amidst the watchful and surprised gazes, stepped onto the circular auction stage.

"What is he doing?"

"Who knows?"

"Is he planning to just snatch her directly?"

The White Ghost Mask was startled, raising his hand with a wave, and those black-clad Ghost Servants rushed out, surrounding the auction stage, gazes vigilant as they looked at Mu Qingge on stage.

Yet Mu Qingge ignored their vigilance and tension, and one step at a time, slowly approached the golden cage.

A beam of light hit her, as if coating her in a layer of golden luminescence. Her red clothes became even more vivid like blood, making her aura colder and more intimidating.

Her shadow fell on the golden cage, enveloping Qin Yiyao within.

The familiar scent suddenly appeared before her, but Qin Yiyao dared not face it, only burying her head lower, even hoping to shut off her senses, preventing herself from overthinking.

"Guest..." the White Ghost Mask struggled to speak.

Mu Qingge suddenly raised her left hand, palm facing down.

In an instant, countless spirit stones cascaded from her palm, crackling as they fell across the auction stage. Those stones, rich with spiritual energy, piled up quickly into a small mountain under the astonished gaze of the White Ghost Mask and everyone around.

Spirit stones fell like rain, spreading across the entire auction stage, their number surely exceeding three thousand!

This spectacle stunned everyone in the room, even Jiang Tianyi, the famously debauched son from Yu Shui City, was taken aback. Unaware, their momentum before Mu Qingge weakened significantly.

The spirit stones continued to fall, with no sign of stopping, causing everyone to wonder in amazement, ’How many spirit stones does he really have?’

In fact, this question was something even Mu Qingge didn’t know.

Because, what she had the most of were not these low-level spirit stones, nor intermediate ones, or advanced spirit stones, but top-grade spirit stones! Besides, upon leaving Haiyu City, she took away her half of the spirit stone mine.

’So cool!’ Sheng Susu was taken aback as she watched Mu Qingge on the stage, her eyes filled with uncontrollable admiration.

But then she thought of Qin Yiyao, anxious and shook Sheng Yuli’s hand.

Sheng Yuli understood his sister’s intention, but what could he do now? In terms of wealth, he truly couldn’t compete! Not just him, but haven’t the other families, even that hedonist Jiang Tianyi, all given up?

He shook his head at his sister with a bitter smile, yet made up his mind. After leaving here, he must track down this red-clad young master’s whereabouts and, regardless of the cost, redeem the lady who had done his sister a favor and touched his heart.

When the spirit stones filled up over half the auction stage, Mu Qingge finally stopped.

Her hands clasped behind her back, she coldly said, "Is that enough?"

The three words snapped White Ghost Mask back to reality. He nodded, stunned, "Enough, enough..." The spirit stones before him totaled nearly ten thousand, how could it not be enough?

This blunt and direct action shattered Jiang Tianyi’s scheme to outmaneuver Mu Qingge.

He dared not bid any further.

Because he feared Mu Qingge might suddenly change her mind, leaving him to bear the loss.

The others felt the same; though eager to trouble Mu Qingge and inflate the price, they feared that she might suddenly withdraw from the bidding, leaving them to regret their high bids and suffer the consequences.

Caught in a dilemma, they could only remain silent.

"If it’s enough, open the cage," Mu Qingge said calmly.

White Ghost Mask hesitated for a moment, then hastily called the Ghost Servants.

The Ghost Servants opened the cage, just about to drag Qin Yiyao out when Mu Qingge suddenly said, "Let her come out herself."

The Ghost Servant froze, standing still.

Come out herself!

Qin Yiyao felt as if struck by lightning, facing the scene she least wanted to witness.

She didn’t move.

However, Mu Qingge’s voice shadowed her, "Are you planning to make me drag you out myself?"

The question, devoid of discernible emotion, shattered all of Qin Yiyao’s defenses. Her body responded faster than her mind, obeying Mu Qingge’s words, exiting the golden cage, and standing before her.

In the guest seats, Xie Ya’s bright eyes held a touch of confusion.

At this moment, she seemed to sense that the Young Master knew this woman, and the woman knew the Young Master too. What kind of entanglement had been between them to make the Young Master so concerned?

"Lift your head," came the commanding tone again.

This time, Qin Yiyao sensed a clearer feeling of familiarity, along with Mu Qingge’s aura.

She wanted to resist but found her body involuntarily lifting her head, looking at the person before her.

What met her gaze was a crimson brocade.

Yet, the longed-for face was obscured by an ugly, hideous mask.

However, Qin Yiyao inexplicably felt relieved, as if the mask meant they had not truly met.

This self-deception stirred ambiguous bitterness within her, leaving her unsure of what to do.

Mu Qingge looked at Qin Yiyao, noting how she had grown more beautiful, her aura of isolation even more pronounced. No longer did her brows carry the melancholy of a palace princess, replaced by the calmness forged through life and death trials.

Yet, a trace of panic underpinned that calmness.

She feared seeing me!

Mu Qingge suddenly realized this.

With a sigh in her heart, Mu Qingge extended her right hand.

Qin Yiyao’s gaze fell upon the outstretched right hand, the finger cover so familiar.

It’s her! It’s truly her!

This isn’t a dream!

Qin Yiyao lifted her head, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears that spilled down her cheeks.

At that moment, she could no longer control her body; endless longing surged over her, sweeping her away, drowning her reason.

She did not take Mu Qingge’s hand but, crying, threw herself into her arms, embracing Mu Qingge tightly.

Mu Qingge, surprised, remembered that Qin Yiyao had never been this out of control before.

She flung herself into Mu Qingge’s embrace, holding her tightly with all her strength.

This embrace made Mu Qingge feel Qin Yiyao’s fragility beneath her strength, understanding her current release. She also felt her suppressed tears.

’I covet this embrace; if it could let me die in these arms, would it be alright?’ Qin Yiyao let go of everything, holding tightly to Mu Qingge, embracing the person she had yearned for countless days and nights.

She envied Lianlian, she was jealous of Lianlian, she wished that night amidst the bloodshed, she could die in Mu Qingge’s arms, be the one buried as his wife.

She was once his fiancée!

But alas, fate played its cruel joke...

What’s going on? What kind of scene is this?

The touching scene of two embracing left everyone around stunned.

Previously, it was all about lavishly spending; why had the mood shifted to deep affectionate embraces, the reunion of lovers?

Sheng Susu blankly stared at the two on the auction stage, unable to wrap her mind around it. Sheng Yuli watched Qin Yiyao throw herself into Mu Qingge’s arms, eyes tinged with slight disappointment.

’Turns out they’ve known each other all along.’

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Mu Qingge meant by ’determined to win.’

’Turns out they’re on the same side!’ Jiang Tianyi glared at Mu Qingge and Qin Yiyao, his gaze turning sinister and vicious.

"That girl surely loves the Young Master dearly," Xie Ya murmured. For some reason, seeing Mu Qingge embraced so tightly by another woman without pushing her away, stirred a slight twinge of jealousy.

Hearing her soft whisper, Mo Yang turned to her.

Feeling Mo Yang’s gaze, Xie Ya seriously said, "People’s eyes don’t lie."

She saw the yearning, pain, and conflict in Qin Yiyao’s eyes.

"..." Mo Yang silently withdrew his gaze, yet sighed inwardly: ’If that’s the case, why haven’t you seen from the Young Master’s eyes that it’s not him, but her?’

Mo Yang chuckled to himself, a mix of disappointment and pride surging through him.

His Lord, whether man or woman, seemed to draw suitors so easily—he owed more romantic debts than even she could count.

Following Mu Qingge’s side, Mo Yang naturally saw it clearly.

Mu Qingge never actively hinted or incited anything... yet she inherently possessed a charm that drew men and women alike to passionately fall in love, heedless of regret.

Am I not one of them?

"I’ll take you away." Mu Qingge gently patted Qin Yiyao’s back, whispering by her ear.

Qin Yiyao’s body jolted, stiffening.

She didn’t know whether to refuse or agree.

Clearly they had vowed to stay unentangled, so why had fate pulled them together again?

Noticing Qin Yiyao’s sudden rigidity, Mu Qingge said in a deep voice, "Everything can be discussed once we leave here."

This statement jolted her back to reality, obedient to Mu Qingge’s words, she nodded her head.

Soothed by Mu Qingge, Qin Yiyao allowed herself to be led away.

Then, the Ghost Servants approached with neck restraints and bracelets, only to retreat under Mu Qingge’s fierce gaze.

Under the watchful eyes, Mu Qingge led Qin Yiyao to the guest seats. Passing the Sheng Family seats, Qin Yiyao turned to look at Sheng Susu, her gaze finding concern through the mask. Qin Yiyao offered a barely discernible smile, shaking her head, assuring her she was fine.

Unknowingly, that slight smile left Sheng Yuli beside Sheng Susu in a daze, lost in thought.

As Qin Yiyao followed Mu Qingge to her seat, Mo Yang and two Dragon Tooth Guards nodded and cupped their fists respectfully.

Such deference was something Xie Ya hadn’t seen from the Dragon Tooth Guards before.
