Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608: Chapter 43: My Heart Delights in You, Only You!

"Second Uncle, what is this purple and red thing?" Jing Fengyu saw the stone block in Jing Tianheng’s hand and couldn’t help but ask.

Jing Tianheng quietly put away the stone block in his hand, saying lightly, "Let’s follow the instructions first."

The group of ten continued to head deeper into Guji Mountain.

Jing Tianheng said to Jing Fengyu, "Fengyu, your current spiritual cultivation has reached a level where you can contract a second contracted beast. Before we left, I discussed with your father, if the target this time is good, then you can make the contract."

"Really?" Jing Fengyu exclaimed with delight.

Jing Tianheng smiled and nodded.

"Great! Thank you, Second Uncle." Jing Fengyu was very excited; he had long reached the level to contract a second contracted beast, but just hadn’t found the right one yet.

He was confident that once he contracted the second beast, his strength would greatly increase, enough to climb several places on the Green Talent List!

Thinking about his ranking on the Green Talent List, Jing Fengyu suddenly recalled the Mu Qingge he met yesterday.

That red-robed young lord with a beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament.

The face that could make one lost in thought lingered unshakeably in his mind.

"Fengyu, Fengyu?"

Jing Tianheng’s voice pulled Jing Fengyu’s wandering thoughts back.

"Second Uncle!" Jing Fengyu composed himself and lowered his eyes.

Jing Tianheng frowned slightly, "What are you thinking about? We are now in Guji Mountain, close to the contracted beast. You must not be careless; collect your thoughts. Whatever the matter is, wait until we complete this task."

"Second Uncle is right, Fengyu acknowledges his mistake," Jing Fengyu quickly replied. Although he had some superiority as a member of a prominent family among his peers, and a reserved arrogance, he knew how to position himself well in front of his family’s elders, never getting carried away.

This was one of the reasons why the Jing family held high expectations for him.

Seeing Jing Fengyu recognized his mistake, Jing Tianheng did not continue to speak.

He led the team forward while Jing Fengyu lagged two steps behind, secretly sighing in relief.

"Young Master, what’s wrong?" Jing Fengyu’s attendant approached him and asked softly.

This attendant was one of those who had followed Jing Fengyu yesterday. Having grown up together with Jing Fengyu since childhood, their feelings were naturally beyond what ordinary people could compare.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Jing Fengyu secretly glanced at Jing Tianheng’s back and said, "Your Young Master seems to be sick."

"Sick?" The attendant was taken aback and immediately examined Jing Fengyu, finding him energetic and with no signs of illness.

"I don’t mean physically, I mean here." Jing Fengyu pointed to his heart.

The attendant was even more puzzled.

Jing Fengyu coughed lightly, looking a bit embarrassed, cautiously glanced around, and when no one was paying attention, whispered in the attendant’s ear, "Your Young Master seems to have fallen for someone, and it’s a... man."

The attendant gasped, eyes wide. "Young Master, you..."

"Keep your voice down! Don’t say it out loud." Jing Fengyu hurriedly covered his mouth to stop him from shouting.

The attendant nodded in shock.

Afterwards, Jing Fengyu let him go and warned, "Young Master hasn’t figured it out yet, it’s just suspicion for now. I’ll speak once I have things clear. You must keep it a secret, don’t let anyone know!"

The attendant nodded vigorously, though his heart was in tumult.

He swallowed hard and softly advised, "Young Master must think it through. You bear the responsibility for the Jing family lineage; you cannot make a mistake!"

"I know, I’m also quite troubled... sigh." Jing Fengyu sighed.

"Fengyu!" From afar, came Jing Tianheng’s shout.

Jing Fengyu stiffened, immediately responded, "Coming!" Then glared at the attendant and warned, "Remember, don’t speak of what I told you today!"

The attendant shut his mouth tightly, nodding forcefully.

After repeated assurances from the attendant, Jing Fengyu hurriedly ran forward to catch up with Jing Tianheng.

Once they left, two dark figures appeared where the Jing family had walked.

"Ha, the Jing family’s prideful one actually likes a man. If word gets out, it’ll be a laughing matter," Gu Ya said teasingly.

Gu Ye kept his icy demeanor, replied coolly, "We are here for the whereabouts of the Hound; other matters don’t concern us."

Gu Ye’s coldness made Gu Ya roll his eyes.

Gu Ya turned to Gu Ye and asked, "Master didn’t ask us to meddle; it’s not good for us to act on our own."

This time, Gu Ye answered thoroughly, "Master didn’t want us to intervene to avoid interfering with him and the Little Lord. We aren’t following them, just keeping tabs on the Jing family. If there’s news of the Hound, we’ll inform Master without showing ourselves."

It turns out, the two were acting behind Si Mo’s back.

...

As night fell, Mu Qingge and Si Mo walked out of the Jade Pear Tree Forest, arriving at a grassy field.

The beauty of Guji Mountain surprised Mu Qingge greatly.

All day, she felt she wasn’t here to find fierce beasts but to go on a sightseeing tour.

Turning back to look at Si Mo under the moonlight, he appeared even more handsome, like a deity descending from the sky, strong and mysterious. She smiled, silently wondering, "Is this considered a date?"

"What’s so funny?" Si Mo looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

It seemed like any expression on Mu Qingge’s face couldn’t escape his eyes.

"Laughing at how easygoing we are in searching for a fierce beast; no one else does it like us," Mu Qingge said helplessly.

Si Mo smiled lightly, "Without any trace of the Hound now, there’s no need to be tense."

Mu Qingge nodded, gazing around, taking a deep breath, and spread her arms, "It’s truly beautiful here!"

The bright moon seemed to be embedded in the sky before them, immense and within reach. The grass swayed with the wind, and dandelion petals floated in the low air, carrying a faint fragrance.

As the gentle breeze lifted Mu Qingge’s skirt, amid the vast scenery, she couldn’t help but spin around, causing the golden palace bell at her waist to jingle melodiously.

Almost simultaneously, the palace bell on Si Mo also rang, blending together into the most beautiful sound in the world.

In Si Mo’s amber eyes, Mu Qingge’s silhouette was reflected.

The alluring red in his gaze etched into his soul. He had never... never seen Mu Qingge so feminine. It seemed that she had shed some burdens and set aside her tough exterior.

Under the moonlight, Mu Qingge was breathtakingly beautiful, enough to stir hearts, enough to make one forget everything.

For a moment, Si Mo watched, lost in thought.

After spinning a few times, Mu Qingge stopped, her exquisitely beautiful face carrying a joyful smile, "This Hound sure knows how to hide, choosing such a lovely place, lucky for us."

"Indeed," Si Mo murmured, still mesmerized by Mu Qingge’s charm.

"Hey!" Mu Qingge suddenly jumped in front of Si Mo, shouting.

Her not-so-gentle voice brought Si Mo back to reality. His gaze gradually cleared, focusing on Mu Qingge in front of him.

He raised his hand, gently stroking Mu Qingge’s hair with utmost tenderness. "Qingge, what should I do... I want to hide you away, only allowing me to see."

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.

After laughing, she said to Si Mo, "What should I do, I also want to hide you, not letting others see you."

Her playful words deepened Si Mo’s smile as he indulgently said, "Alright, let’s hide each other well, not letting outsiders see."

"It’s a promise!" Mu Qingge raised her hand, "Pledge by clapping hands."

Si Mo smiled, fondly raising his hand to lightly clap with Mu Qingge.

"Si Mo, remember, wait for me. Soon, I’ll come with a grand bridal procession to marry you!" Mu Qingge suddenly declared dominantly.

Si Mo smiled wryly but indulgently nodded, "Alright, I’ll wait for you to come and marry me."

In all the heavens and earth, across the three thousand worlds, only this person before him could receive his endless affection and limitless indulgence.

Si Mo held Mu Qingge’s hand, strolling under the moon, their shadows merging and separating occasionally. After walking for a while, Mu Qingge pulled Si Mo to sit down in the grass, where dandelion petals danced around them.

Mu Qingge plucked a blade of grass, held it in her mouth, and suddenly leaned back, hands behind her head, gazing at the cold moonlight and starlight under the night sky.

Si Mo watched her carefree and spontaneous manner, amused, and lay down on the grass beside her.

"Si Mo, what kind of place is the Divine Hall?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked, seemingly deep in thought.

Si Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of gloom flashed through them but disappeared quickly. He smiled and replied, "In legends, far away, there is a Divine Demon Continent. There, the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan still exist. The Divine Clan needs faith and tributes, so they select certain places across the three thousand worlds to set up Divine Halls to gather faith and tributes."

Mu Qingge frowned, flipped over on her stomach, and asked Si Mo intently, "Are there really Divine Clan and Demon Clan?"

Si Mo nodded gently as he looked at her.

Mu Qingge’s eyes reflected contemplation, "Faith, tributes, what do they do for the Divine Clan? Do the Demon Clan not need them?"

"Faith and tributes can transform into a special power that aids the Divine Clan’s cultivation. The Demon Clan cultivates themselves, so they don’t need it," Si Mo answered.

Mu Qingge nodded as if she understood, and further inquired, "How does the Divine Hall gather and offer faith to the Divine Clan?"

Si Mo chuckled lightly, gazing into her curious eyes, "In the Central Continent Divine Hall, there’s a position known as the Goddess. Typically, it is held by women with outstanding talent and special abilities. The current Goddess is a girl from the Xi Family in Central Continent. Her name I’ve forgotten, but she seems to be ranked in the top five on the Green Talent List."

"Xi Qianxue!" Mu Qingge immediately recalled a name.

"Hmm? Perhaps, yes." Si Mo remarked indifferently. "The role of the Goddess is to connect with the Divine Clan. She has a very high status in the Divine Hall, transmitting the gathered faith to the Divine Clan through a special array, thus accumulating her own merits, and someday, breaking through the void to enter the Divine Demon Continent."

"What exactly is faith? Can one truly enter the Divine Demon Continent?" Mu Qingge probed with a frown.

Si Mo paused for a moment before responding, "Humans’ innate reverence, their longing, loyalty, and belief in the Divine Clan—these emotions transform into the power of faith, collected by the Divine Hall. As for the Divine Demon Continent... it’s a nebulous place, Ge’er need not dwell too much on it now."

Mu Qingge pursed her lips in deep thought, gradually understanding some of the ’benevolent’ measures within the Divine Hall. The Divine Hall seemed to hold a revered position and transcendental influence in the Middle Ancient Realm. Over the millennia, it has penetrated the hearts of the people in the Middle Ancient Realm, ensuring the continuous existence of the power of faith.

As long as the Divine Hall exists, the power of faith does...

No! Rather... as long as faith remains undestroyed, the power of faith exists, and the Divine Hall is merely a symbolic, tangible manifestation!

Mu Qingge’s eyes gradually brightened.

As for the Divine Demon Continent, despite Si Mo’s brief explanation, Mu Qingge didn’t mind much.

She then shook her head and said, "Cultivation should truly rely on oneself, but now rely on external power; if someday faith collapses, wouldn’t my cultivation fall drastically?"

"My clever little Ge’er!" Si Mo lightly tapped Mu Qingge’s nose. "Unfortunately, this simple truth is something those so-called gods have overlooked. The power of faith can accelerate their cultivation speed, amplifying their power. Once they taste the benefits, none are willing to give it up."

Mu Qingge frowned.

Si Mo continued, "But don’t worry, the Divine Strategy doesn’t require the power of faith."

"Hm?" Mu Qingge looked at him, seemingly curious about how he knew what she was worrying about.

Indeed, she was considering the issue of Divine Strategy, since it was a cultivation method of the Divine Clan. If it needed the power of faith, where would she find it?

Fortunately, Si Mo’s answer relieved her of this trouble.

"By the way, you mentioned that Xi Qianxue has special abilities, what are they?" Mu Qingge asked curiously.

"Xi Qianxue?" Si Mo looked puzzled, with no recollection at all.

Mu Qingge rolled her eyes exasperatedly, then explained, "She’s the Goddess from the Xi Family you mentioned."

Si Mo came to realization, his slender fingers running through Mu Qingge’s hanging strands, smiling: "Other than you, I really don’t have the interest to remember other women’s names."

These words succeeded in charming Mu Qingge.

She snorted proudly, poking Si Mo’s waist with her finger, urging him to speak quickly.

Si Mo gradually restrained his smile, earnestly looking at Mu Qingge, "Ge’er, remember I advised you not to casually reveal your power of thunder and lightning?"

Mentioning this matter suddenly, Mu Qingge nodded, already having some guesses in mind.

"Once you’re in the Middle Ancient Realm, you must never easily disclose that you have a Thunder Spirit Root." Si Mo suddenly said seriously.

Mu Qingge stared at him, waiting for his follow-up words.

"Even if you encounter danger, you’d rather escape, hide in your space, but absolutely cannot expose the Thunder Spirit Root." Si Mo looked into Mu Qingge’s eyes solemnly.

"Promise me."

Mu Qingge had never seen Si Mo so serious before; under his voice, she slowly nodded.

However, she still voiced her doubts, "Why?" From the first time they met, why did he remind her not to reveal her Thunder Ability?

"You should already know that Shen Bicheng has an Innate Fire Spirit Root," Si Mo remarked suddenly.

Mu Qingge knew this from Mengmeng, so she nodded.

Si Mo continued, "And the Goddess from the Xi Family possesses an Innate Water Spirit Root."

Mu Qingge furrowed her brows.

Possessing a Spirit Root was considered special? Would she be noticed by the Divine Hall, which Si Mo wanted her to avoid, so he warned her?

As Mu Qingge was filled with doubt, Si Mo spoke in an extremely slow yet earnest tone, "What you need to understand now is that such Innate Spirit Roots are highly sought after by everyone in the Middle Ancient Realm. What exactly an Innate Spirit Root signifies, you will naturally comprehend once you reach the Golden Realm. Shen Bicheng is not in the Middle Ancient Realm, so that’s fortunate. The girl from the Xi Family, protected by her family and supported by the Divine Hall, doesn’t have to worry. But you, you are alone; if people discover you possess this powerful Thunder Spirit Root, you’ll face endless pursuit. In the Middle Ancient Realm, there are a considerable number of Innate Spirit Roots, but they are always kept hidden and never exposed. Therefore, Ge’er, you must completely conceal this card."

"Pursuit? Even if they kill me, what can they do? Can they take away my power of thunder and lightning?" Mu Qingge exclaimed.

She meant it as a joke, after all, taking someone else’s superpower for oneself is impossible, even in the technologically advanced world of her past life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Si Mo earnestly nodded.

Mu Qingge’s playful smile froze.

Oh my! What situation is this? Superpowers can be stolen?!

Mu Qingge was stunned.

Si Mo raised his hand to rub her stiffened face and told her, "So remember my words. Some things are meaningless to tell you now, but as your cultivation grows, you’ll naturally learn more."

Mu Qingge stiffly nodded.

"Alright, is there anything else you wish to ask?" Si Mo asked, pretending to be profound, striking a teacher-like pose.

Mu Qingge replied earnestly, "Yes!"

"Speak."

"Why do you know so much?"

"... You live long enough, you’ll naturally learn these things."

"... How long have you lived? How old are you this year?"

"Ge’er, are you implying I’m old?"

A dangerous aura approached Mu Qingge. She immediately replied smartly, "Not old! A man should be mature, only then is he charming!"

"Ge’er really doesn’t mind?"

"I don’t mind."

"Really?"

"Yes! Uh..."

...

The exterior of Guji Mountain is beautiful.

The scenery resembles an immortal realm, captivating.

But deep within Guji Mountain, a largely unknown earth crack exists. Like an ugly scar, it mars the beauty of Guji Mountain.
