Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611: Chapter 46: Mu Family Heir vs. Mu Family Heir

Anmo City, a small border city in the West Continent of the Middle Ancient Realm.

The city may be small, but it is extremely important.

This is because it hosts a teleportation array, serving as a crucial transportation hub, making the city bustling and prosperous.

In Anmo City, only two families possess equal competitiveness, namely the Yan Family and the Su Family. The Yan Family has a son, and the Su Family has a daughter. Remarkably, the two families established an arranged marriage agreement, jointly managing Anmo City and sharing the benefits.

These past few days, Anmo City has been decorated with lanterns and banners, brimming with excitement. Both the Yan and Su families have opened their granaries for charity, all in anticipation of the engagement of their Young Master and Miss in five days, sealing their marriage alliance.

Once the deal is sealed, the Yan and Su families will publicly join forces, turning Anmo City into an impregnable fortress where other powers can hardly intervene.

In a certain inn, a young gentleman with as delicate features as a painting pushed open the window, a slightly exaggerated smile playing on his lips as he watched the lively streets. He said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Clan Uncle, it’s amusing how so many people praise relationships based on connections through marriage." Though his words were full of disdain, a deep jealousy was hidden in the alluring depths of his eyes.

"Luofeng, in this world, there are many who form marriages for the sake of benefits." Standing behind him, the middle-aged man was steady and restrained, his expression indifferent.

The way he looked at Mu Luofeng held both expectation and a faint disappointment.

Mu Luofeng pursed his lips and turned to face Mu Chen, "Clan Uncle, our Mu Family was very powerful in the past, wasn’t it?"

"Yes," Mu Chen replied.

Mu Luofeng’s eyes flashed with a hint of pride as he turned his gaze back out the window, silently pondering: ’I wonder if the Su family’s Miss is beautiful. If she’s as stunning as a fairy, marrying her would be worth it. But if she’s an ugly monster, bringing her into the family would just sicken me.’

Ending his fantasy, Mu Luofeng shifted his gaze back to Mu Chen, showing displeasure, "Clan Uncle, those people in the Wandering Soul Desert were once just servants of our Mu Family, and yet now they dare to put on airs, letting a servant choose a master. How does that make sense? And isn’t it true that I’m the Young Master of the Mu Family? When did another Young Master pop up from that remote place in the Linchuan Realm?"

Mu Chen finally lifted his eyes to look at the handsome young man standing before him.

Beneath a bright exterior, he was too frivolous to hide his arrogance. He remembered when they first found him; he was just a child from a declining family.

Timid, cowardly, and slick—these were Mu Chen’s initial impressions of Mu Luofeng.

However, once he learned of his hidden identity, he changed completely, becoming arrogant and increasingly unpleasant...

Mu Chen once questioned himself whether this choice was right.

Is this young man really the hope of the Mu Clan?

"Luofeng, you must understand that you are not the only heir of the Mu Clan. Everything has been arranged by the Mu Clan’s ancestors. This is a brutal test, and if you fail, you can be eliminated at any time. You may dismiss competitors from the Linchuan Realm, but don’t forget there is still a Mu Family in the Middle Ancient Realm, where another candidate exists." Mu Chen said solemnly.

"I know, Mu Feng, right? You’ve all mentioned him to me several times," Mu Luofeng grumbled impatiently, digging in his ear, "Is he really that formidable?"

These words drifted into Mu Chen’s ears.

His eyes darkened as an image of a determined young man came to mind. "Perhaps his talent doesn’t surpass yours, but such determination, I’ve never seen before."

Ah, talent!

Everything boiled down to talent.

The Mu Family in the Middle Ancient Realm stayed low-key, biding their time. Although Mu Feng is the current Young Master, his talent is only marginally above average. To become the head of the Mu Clan and lead it back to its homeland, such talent is far from sufficient.

This is why he led a group, left the Mu Family, and found a branch that split from the Mu Family centuries ago, and discovered Mu Luofeng.

Before being found, Mu Luofeng was merely a child from an ordinary family. Even their ancestors had forgotten about the family and were oblivious to what the name Mu represented.

His parents had long forgotten the Mu Family’s mission and did not practice cultivation. However, to their delight, although he had never cultivated, Mu Luofeng’s talent was far superior to Mu Feng’s.

Starting late but with high talent,

as long as Mu Luofeng diligently trained and with their support, surpassing Mu Feng wouldn’t be difficult.

Moreover, they obtained a clue leading to the lineage in the Wandering Soul Desert. If they could obtain the Divine Strategy Middle Volume, Mu Luofeng’s cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds.

When Mu Luofeng surpasses Mu Feng, it will prove their initial decision was correct!

This is the obsession in everyone’s heart.

Yet Mu Luofeng...

"Clan Uncle, what level of cultivation is Mu Feng at nowadays? And what about the competitor from Linchuan, is he stronger than me? And most importantly, is that servant from the Wandering Soul Desert beautiful?" As Mu Luofeng spoke, his eyes brightened.

Wealth, fine wine, and beautiful women were the life he yearned for.

To be revered and feared was his aspiration.

However, after being found by Mu Chen and his party, he was no longer hungry or poor but was strictly supervised, constantly cultivating.

"Not to mention women, I’ve never even touched a woman’s hand,"

he thought to himself. "If they’re gifting me a woman this time, and she’s ugly, wouldn’t that be a major disappointment?"

Mu Luofeng looked expectantly at Mu Chen, awaiting his answer.

Mu Chen’s eyes darkened as he shook his head and said, "Her beauty is unimportant. She is merely a servant with the clue to the Divine Strategy Middle Volume."

His use of ’Young Master’ instead of ’you’ was a subtle reminder for Mu Luofeng to stay vigilant. However, it was apparent Mu Luofeng didn’t notice.

Mu Chen’s answer left him disappointed. Unable to resist his curiosity, he asked, "Clan Uncle, why don’t we go and take a look? Hasn’t she already arrived in Anmo City?"

"No," Mu Chen refused without hesitation, "We’ve already agreed with the other side; we must wait for the selected Young Master to arrive before meeting together."

Mu Luofeng frowned, displeased, "Why must we wait for some Linchuan country bumpkin? Who knows if he’ll even make it here alive?"

"The fact that he made it from the Linchuan Realm to the Middle Ancient Realm already proves his extraordinariness," Mu Chen deliberately provoked Mu Luofeng, hoping to instill a sense of urgency so he would become more active and earnest in cultivation.

In truth, in his heart, Mu Chen looked down on Mu Qingge. If he bore the Mu family bloodline and couldn’t even make it out of Linchuan, he wasn’t worth a second glance from him.

Even though Mu Qingge had now entered the Middle Ancient Realm, it still didn’t capture Mu Chen’s attention.

Everyone knew that in the Linchuan Realm, the starting point was the Red Realm, and the pinnacle was the Purple Realm. And in the Middle Ancient Realm? The Purple Realm was merely the beginning; everyone was born with Purple Realm Cultivation.

This disparity was determined innately and couldn’t be changed.

The news from over there stated that the Mu Family heir from Linchuan had barely entered the Middle Ancient Realm for a year... even if his talent was astounding, at most he’d be at the Gray Realm Third or Fourth Layer of strength.

And Mu Luofeng?

Mu Chen’s gaze fell on Mu Luofeng, showing a trace of relief. Mu Luofeng had been cultivating for only five years and had already reached the Gray Realm Fifth Layer. Such talent was praiseworthy.

It was only the Mu Clan’s discretion that kept his name off the Cub Phoenix List.

Consider that Mu Feng began his cultivation at the age of four, and when they left, he had only reached Gray Realm Third Layer. Five years passed, and he might not even compare to Mu Luofeng now.

"Clan Uncle, you mustn’t bolster his morale and crush our own spirit!" Mu Luofeng couldn’t hear the provocation in Mu Chen’s words, only dissatisfied with his praise for Mu Qingge.

Mu Chen glanced at him and fell silent.

"Clan Uncle, why don’t we just take a peek, even if just a glance?" Mu Luofeng curiously suggested.

Mu Chen slowly shook his head.

"Cough cough, well then." Mu Luofeng suddenly relented. He feigned a couple of coughs and moved towards the door, "Clan Uncle, it’s so lively outside, I’ll take a look and be back soon."

With that, the door opened and Mu Luofeng rushed out.

"Young Master, wait for me," a servant’s voice promptly followed.

Mu Chen lowered his eyes, shook his head, and solemnly called out, "Follow him, ensure the Young Master’s safety."

"Yes, Elder," a voice responded.

Once the room quieted again, Mu Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

...

On the streets of Anmo City, the crowd was bustling.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Mu Luofeng’s servant squeezed beside him, bowing and looking up to his master strutting down the street with his chin lifted and an air of arrogance.

"I naturally want to see what my young master’s servant looks like. If she’s too ugly, I’d rather not have her and give her to the bumpkin from Linchuan. An ugly girl paired with a bumpkin is a perfect match!" Mu Luofeng said arrogantly.

Last night, he had already eavesdropped that the servant from the Wandering Soul Desert had now been placed in another inn, guarded by people from both sides.

"Young Master, can’t you see her tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry to go there? You are the master, after all," the child servant scratched his head, asking in confusion.

Tomorrow was the agreed deadline, but Mu Luofeng couldn’t wait.

Perhaps the arranged marriage between the Yan Family and the Su Family made his heart itch. He thought of himself being twenty-one years old and never having touched a woman’s hand, which was really shameful!

"I told you to go, so go, why so much nonsense?" Mu Luofeng said impatiently.

He looked at the child servant with an aloof gaze.

He had long forgotten that before Mu Chen and the others found him, his situation was not much better than the servant beside him.

Mu Luofeng always remembered that when Mu Chen and the others found him, his world began to turn upside down. He believed himself to be a destined strongman, a True Dragon.

Hiding in the depths, making a stunning entrance!

All those who opposed him would meet a miserable end!

"Make way, make way——!"

"Everyone make way, the Su Family’s carriage is coming, bystanders make way!"

Suddenly, a domineering shout was heard on the crowded street. People in front hurriedly moved aside to both sides of the street.

Mu Luofeng was initially unwilling to move aside, but upon hearing the words ’Su Family’, he had a change of heart and retreated to the side of the street with the crowd.

At this moment, a Spiritual Beast Car slowly approached. Under the eaves of the carriage hung a string of wind chimes, swaying a clear, melodious sound as it moved, enchanting the soul.

Many people craned their necks to look, and whispers spread around.

"Look quickly, that’s the Su Family Miss’s carriage."

"I heard Miss Su is the number one beauty in Anmo City, I really want to see how beautiful she is."

"Heh, beautiful or not, it has nothing to do with you. She’s already the Yan Family’s bride."

"Tch, the marriage isn’t settled yet, right? If she’s truly a great beauty, even risking being killed, I’d snatch her away!" someone said half-jokingly.

But then, someone immediately rushed into the crowd, dragging out the loudmouth, and threw him in front of the Spiritual Beast Car.

The Spiritual Beast Car stopped, and a guard of the Su Family drew a weapon, placing it at the person’s throat.

Mu Luofeng stood on the street beside the carriage, and through the pink sheer curtain, he vaguely saw a beautiful silhouette.

A breeze blew, lifting a corner of the sheer, revealing the true appearance of the person sitting inside, only to conceal the peerless beauty again in an instant.

But just that one glance made Mu Luofeng feel his heart ’thud’, as if it had been brutally struck. He gazed vacantly at the pink sheer curtain.

"Miss, this person insulted you," the Su Family guard said.

"Kill him." From inside the carriage, a soft female voice floated out.

The simple two words were like ice water pouring down, awakening the surrounding crowd.

The Su Family guard’s hand rose, the blade fell, not giving the man on the ground a chance to explain, beheading him and spraying blood on the street.

"Ah——!"

In the crowd, there were elderly and children, this bloody scene elicited cries of alarm from many.

"Too cruel." Mu Luofeng’s child servant said softly, turning away, not daring to look at the dead on the ground.

However, Mu Luofeng didn’t pay attention to this scene at all, only muttering, "What a lovely voice."

The Su Family’s Spiritual Beast Car gradually disappeared from the crowd’s sight.

Recovering his senses, Mu Luofeng felt somewhat bored, a light sense of longing, as if his soul had left with the Su Family’s Spiritual Beast Car. His previous curiosity about the servant’s appearance also waned, losing interest.

"Young Master, Young Master?" After a long while, the child servant’s voice became clear to his ears.

Mu Luofeng turned to look at him.

The child servant was startled by his gaze, timidly asking, "Are we still going to see the servant?"

Mu Luofeng shook his head, sighing, "Having seen Miss Su today, I truly envy the young man of the Yan Family." Suddenly, he blurted, "What do you think, if your Young Master proposed to the Su Family, what would happen?"

The child servant was startled, quickly waving his hands, "Young Master, you can’t do that! The Su Family is a big family in Anmo City, and the Yan Family is the same."

Mu Luofeng’s face darkened, "Are you saying I’m unworthy of being the Su Family’s son-in-law?"

"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant." The child servant stiffened, immediately saying, "What I meant is, how could the Su Family’s Miss be worthy of you, Young Master?"

This sentence brought a sunny change to Mu Luofeng’s face, his brows raised in delight. He said proudly, "Then tell me, what kind of woman is worthy of me?"

The child servant felt troubled, quickly thinking. Suddenly recalling a rumor he had heard, he said flatteringly, "I heard someone mention that the most beautiful woman in the West Continent is Sang Xuewu of the Sang Family in Fusha City. Not only is Miss Xuewu extraordinarily beautiful, a peerless beauty, she is also on the Cub Phoenix List of the West Continent. At the very least, such a person is worthy of you, Young Master."

"Sang Xuewu?" Mu Luofeng’s eyes flickered.

What he cared more about was the phrase ’the most beautiful woman in the West Continent.’ If this Sang Xuewu was truly so beautiful, then the Su Family’s Miss would appear too petty.

Mu Luofeng regretfully shook his head, saying to the child servant, "You’re right, this Su Family’s Miss isn’t worthy of me. If there’s a chance, we’ll go to Fusha City to visit this West Continent’s number one beauty you mentioned."

Seeing Mu Luofeng finally give up the idea of ’kidnapping for marriage,’ the child servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Mu Luofeng, "Young Master, since we’re not going to see the servant, shall we return?"

"What’s the rush? It’s rare not to cultivate, I want to have a good stroll," Mu Luofeng said spiritedly.

Suddenly, he turned his eyes and gestured to the child servant.

Not understanding, the child servant leaned his ear over.

Mu Luofeng whispered, "Is there a place in Anmo City where you can listen to music and watch dances?"

The child servant looked at him in confusion, seeing the hidden flame and ambiguous look in his eyes, he immediately understood. Still, he said nervously, "But the elder told you not to go to those places."

Mu Luofeng said impatiently, "I’m the Young Master, now I’m ordering you to take me there!"

The child servant shrank his neck, tremblingly agreeing. He led Mu Luofeng into another street.

...

Nightfall came, and Mu Luofeng hadn’t returned.

Mu Chen looked at the night outside the window, and the gradually quieting Anmo City, frowning involuntarily.

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was pushed open, and the child servant helped a tipsy Mu Luofeng walk in.

Seeing Mu Chen inside, the child servant was so scared he almost dropped Mu Luofeng.

Mu Chen stood up, walked to Mu Luofeng, the strong smell of alcohol and powder made him uncomfortable. He silently looked at the two, then coldly said, "Take care of the Young Master, afterward receive twenty strokes."

"Yes... yes..." the child servant stammered.

Mu Chen walked out of Mu Luofeng’s room, on the corridor outside, his people who were sent to secretly protect Mu Luofeng were standing at the door.

Mu Chen glanced at him, signaling him to leave together.

"The Young Master originally intended to see the servant, but finally encountered the Su Family Miss’s carriage, changing his mind, and ultimately went to Hua Street." The person who secretly followed reported Mu Luofeng’s actions.

Mu Chen listened with a frown, finally sighing helplessly.

He walked further away before saying, "The Young Master has grown up, it’s time to have a woman by his side to take care of him."

"The servant from the Wandering Soul Desert is the best choice," that person said.
