Demon! Si Mo is a demon!
She finally got an answer, even though it wasn’t spoken by Si Mo himself.
Mu Qingge’s gaze was clear and calm as she looked at the agitated Han Caicai. This side of Han Caicai was unfamiliar to her. Yet, she still said to him, "You’re wrong. God or demon, it makes no difference to me. The matters between him and me are none of anyone’s concern."
The Divine Demon Continent, the conflict, the length of life—all these were trivial to her.
All she knew was that she liked Si Mo and wanted to be with him, and that was enough.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Han Caicai, exasperated, couldn’t help but step forward, trying to grab Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge, however, stepped back in time, creating distance between them. "Han Caicai!"
A crisp shout made Han Caicai freeze.
"Don’t interfere in my affairs. I’ll tell you once more, there can never be anything between us. If you persist in your delusion, we’ll be strangers from now on," Mu Qingge warned.
Han Caicai squinted his narrow eyes, staring intently at her.
Mu Qingge returned his gaze unyieldingly, leaving no room for retreat.
"You’ll regret this," Han Caicai said, finally.
Mu Qingge dismissed it, saying, "If that’s what you think, then you really don’t understand me." With that, she turned and left, heading toward the Dragon Tooth Camp.
Han Caicai didn’t stop her, watching as she walked toward the Dragon Tooth Camp.
When Mu Qingge arrived at the Dragon Tooth Camp, Mo Yang and the others had already returned. The concerned looks from everyone slightly improved her spirits, which had been messed up by Han Caicai.
"I’m fine." She knew well the care everyone had for her.
"Boss, you rushed back so urgently, are you really okay?" Yuanyuan came up to Mu Qingge, his pretty face full of worry.
Mu Qingge grinned, pinching his cheek, and said to everyone, "I’m really fine."
Then, she looked at Mo Yang and said, "Get ready these two days, we’re heading into the Canglan Mountain Range." She then looked at Xie Ya and Xuan Ya, "You two stay at the camp, along with Hua Yue and You He."
"Young Master, let us go with you," Xuan Ya said.
Mu Qingge shook her head in refusal, "There’s no need for so many to enter the mountains, all of you stay behind. I’ll also leave two groups of Dragon Tooth Guards to watch over the camp. We’ll be back in ten days."
After the grand hunt’s initial slaughter on the first day, they would enter the mountains on the fifth day and return on the tenth day.
The final period would be for challenges and competitions among the various Floating Guest teams.
Calling it a Flowing Guest Realm grand event is no exaggeration at all.
Mu Qingge had already made up her mind, and no one else could say much more.
Mu Qingge looked at Yin Chen and added, "Yin Chen, you stay as well." Yin Chen was steady and sly, enough to ensure her peace of mind going into the mountains.
Yin Chen did not question Mu Qingge’s decision but nodded directly.
After arranging everything, Mu Qingge returned to the main tent, only to be surprised to find that Si Mo was not inside. Instead, the hound lay lazily in the corner of the main tent.
Mu Qingge showed a moment of doubt, walked over to the hound, and nudged it.
The hound opened an eye, glanced at her, and then closed its eye again.
"Where is he?" Mu Qingge asked.
"I’m not a watchdog, don’t ask me," the hound answered haughtily.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Jingle!
The clear metallic sound rang out, making the hound open its eyes abruptly, its pair of golden, flame-like eyes looking at Mu Qingge.
To be precise, it looked at the gold bracelet on Mu Qingge’s wrist.
"He didn’t say, I don’t know." The hound’s expression changed, quickly altering its answer.
Don’t know?
Mu Qingge had doubts in her heart, but she didn’t continue to ask and instead lowered her arm.
If Si Mo didn’t want to reveal his whereabouts, the hound naturally wouldn’t know.
Thinking about it, Mu Qingge didn’t bother to care. Her clothes were quite damaged and there was no time to change. Thinking this, Mu Qingge walked toward the back room, also calling You He and Hua Yue to prepare a bath for her.
...
"Lost so badly! Lost terribly!"
"I lost the savings of over ten years!"
"You only lost over ten years’ worth, I lost decades!"
"This time the loss is huge!"
"Who knew it would end like this?"
As the competition between Mu Qingge and Ji Yaohua concluded, countless betting outlets were filled with wailing sounds. Only the one secretly set up by Si Mo was earning a fortune.
At the Sunset Grassland, in the camps where the Floating Guests gathered and the clan camps, discussions about this competition were everywhere.
Mu Qingge’s name once again circulated here.
Being able to injure Ji Yaohua within three hundred moves, people were fervently discussing how her abilities ranked on the Green Talent List after their losses.
"In my opinion, Mu Young Master, first surviving 43 moves against the fourth on the Green Talent List, then injuring the second within 300 moves. With this kind of strength, he can rank at least in the top ten of the Green Talent List." Someone opined.
Someone immediately disagreed, "Don’t forget, Ji Young Master suppressed his cultivation to the same level. If fought with his true level, I’m afraid the Mu guy wouldn’t last ten moves. I agree with him entering the Green Talent List, but making it to the top ten is quite an exaggeration."
"Hmph, even if Ji Young Master adjusted his cultivation to be equal to yours, you couldn’t injure him even with 500 moves. Being able to injure Ji Young Master itself is a testament of skill. Moreover, Mu Young Master broke through during the fight and shattered Ji Young Master’s Divine Artifact with bare hands, not something ordinary people can do." The supporter of Mu Qingge was not pleased.
"According to you, Mu Qingge has no issue getting into the top five. Even Ying Young Master probably can’t shatter a Divine Artifact with one punch." Someone was still reluctant to accept, mocking.
The supporter immediately said justifiably, "Give Mu Young Master some time, perhaps he can really squeeze into the top five. Surviving Ying Young Master’s three moves is already a miracle. Defeating him within three hundred moves is another miracle. Why can’t Mu Young Master keep creating miracles?"
"Reaching the top five of the Green Talent List at the Silver Realm Third Layer, isn’t it too unrealistic? As far as I know, the fifth rank on the Green Talent List, the Xi Family Goddess, is at the Silver Realm Fourth Layer."
"Then let the Xi Family Goddess have a match with Mu Young Master, maybe it won’t be clear who would win."
"Hehe, I think no need to fight. With Mu Young Master’s looks, probably the Xi Family Goddess would fall for him at first sight and directly marry him."
"Shh, keep it down! The Goddess can never marry, if the Xi Family heard this, they might take your head."
"What’s to fear, Xi Family isn’t here."
The topic of discussion began to veer off but always revolved around Mu Qingge.
At Sunset Grassland, the great hunt had just begun, and Mu Qingge already made a name for herself twice! No, adding the shock she brought at the start of the hunt, that’s three times.
Three battles!
Every appearance of Mu Qingge always brought something new and thrilling for everyone.
Mu Qingge’s reputation was gradually spreading across the Floating Guest Realm, not only there but also among various clans that came to Sunset Grassland, remembering such a figure.
Of course, including the Dragon Tooth Guards!
The combat strength of the Dragon Tooth Guards not only intimidated many Floating Guests but also made many clans consider cooperation.
Sang Xuewu stood in a secluded corner, quietly listening to the conversations around her, feeling an unprecedented pride rise in her heart. She was proud of Mu Qingge, proud of her mother and father.
She was proud of being Mu Qingge’s sister!
The Third Elder quietly approached Sang Xuewu, his footsteps startling her, making her turn back.
"Third Elder." Sang Xuewu was somewhat surprised.
The Third Elder nodded slightly and said to her, "Xuewu, I came to see you to ask something."
"Please go ahead, Third Elder." Sang Xuewu’s eyes slightly narrowed.
The Third Elder hesitated a moment before speaking, "You and that Mu Young Master... Xuewu, be honest with me, do you have feelings for Mu Young Master, and does he have feelings for you?"
"Third Elder, you misunderstand." Sang Xuewu weakly explained.
She had said it countless times, but the way things developed made it seem like there was something between her and her sister, and she couldn’t explain otherwise.
At least, until Mu Qingge acknowledged her as a sister, she couldn’t explain further.
The only thing she could say was "You misunderstand."
However, such an explanation was weak and powerless.
The Third Elder took this to be a sign of modesty and shyness. He waved his hand and said to Sang Xuewu, "Alright, alright, I understand. In two days, entering the mountain is imminent, and I’m planning to have you and Yichen go in with Dragon Tooth."
Sang Xuewu was stunned and hurriedly said, "Third Elder, you can’t." She wanted to ask, in what capacity would you make Dragon Tooth agree to this?
Though she indeed wanted to spend more time with Mu Qingge.
The Third Elder said, "Don’t worry, I have it planned out."
With that, he turned and left.
This made Sang Xuewu even more restless inside.
"Big news, big news! Just received word that someone has challenged Ji Yaohua, telling her to pull out all her stops, while he will fight with equal strength."
Suddenly, the news spread rapidly through the Floating Guest Camp and Clan Camp.
"Someone wants to challenge Ji Yaohua? Don’t tell me they think he lost this time and is easy to bully now?"
"And asking Ji Yaohua to give it her all—perhaps another great show? Watching the second place on the Green Talent List fight with full force is indeed a rare event!"
"Truly one spectacular performance after another; this grand hunt is truly remarkable!"
In the Dragon Tooth Camp, Mu Qingge, freshly bathed and dressed, just stepped out and immediately heard this rumor.
"Someone challenged Ji Yaohua?" Mu Qingge was stunned. Instinctively, she felt this had something to do with Si Mo.
What does this man intend to do?
"When?" She immediately asked.
Mo Yang replied, "Reportedly, right now, at the place where the duel took place this morning."
Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed as she took a step towards the tent’s entrance, "Let’s go check it out."
Mo Yang followed closely behind; they did not call anyone else but headed straight towards the center of the Sunset Grassland.
...
At the center of the Sunset Grassland, the crowd that just dispersed this morning had gathered again.
Everything seemed exactly the same as this morning, except the challenger had become the challenged.
When Mu Qingge and Mo Yang arrived, the surroundings were already packed with a dense crowd.
Seeing her appear, many showed friendly smiles, wanting to get closer to her.
"Mu Young Master is here."
"Hello, Mu Young Master!"
"Mu Young Master..."
The female Floating Guests were exceptionally enthusiastic, occasionally passing by Mu Qingge, either signaling with their eyes or leaving behind a sachet or personal handkerchief.
However, Mu Qingge kept her eyes straight ahead, ignoring these ’kind gestures’ entirely.
The less she paid mind to them, the more stimulated the women’s competitive spirit became.
A few of them were already gathering together, approaching Mu Qingge.
But before they got close, they saw a graceful and absolutely stunning figure appear beside Mu Qingge, casting a cool glance towards them.
Mu Qingge looked in surprise at the unexpected presence of Sang Xuewu beside her.
Sang Xuewu faintly pulled at the corners of her lips, quietly explaining, "I can avoid some trouble by staying by your side."
Mu Qingge understood, her gaze sweeping towards those women secretly assessing her.
She turned her eyes to Sang Xuewu and asked, "Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood by doing this? It’s about your reputation."
Sang Xuewu smiled indifferently and said, "I’ve already been misunderstood, so why care?"
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows.
Sang Xuewu’s eyes flickered as she gathered courage, approaching Mu Qingge’s ear in a playful tone audible only to them, "Sister, after you’ve repeatedly stood up for me, do you think they still believe we’re just pure and innocent?" After saying this, she anxiously looked at Mu Qingge, seemingly afraid of her anger.
However, Mu Qingge did not get angry, only shook her head helplessly.
Without explaining nor expressing any stance.
She continued walking forward, leaving Sang Xuewu momentarily stunned and at a loss.
After a couple of steps, noticing Sang Xuewu wasn’t following, she turned her gaze to her, asking, "Not coming along?"
Sang Xuewu, filled with joy, quickly caught up, walking beside her.
This close contact filled Sang Xuewu’s heart with both joy and fear, occasionally sneaking glances at Mu Qingge. To others, her expression seemed to suggest some ambiguous feelings between them.
Even from afar, Ying Ze mistook seeing something between the two.
"Miss Qin, don’t be upset. Mu Young Master and Miss Sang aren’t necessarily that type of relationship," Sheng Yuli said upon noticing Qin Yiyao watching Mu Qingge and Sang Xuewu’s backs.
’Of course, they’re not that kind of relationship,’ Qin Yiyao thought.
She didn’t explain further, simply telling Sheng Yuli, "There’s no possibility between her and I, so I won’t interfere in anything she does." Saying this, she walked ahead.
’There’s no possibility between him and me!’
This sentence filled Sheng Yuli’s heart with a burst of joy, quickly catching up with Qin Yiyao.
Mu Qingge led Sang Xuewu to the front of the crowd, where they saw the two confronting each other at the center.
The scene was a repeat of the morning, with only another person replacing the challenger.
’Indeed, it’s him!’ Mu Qingge’s gaze fell directly on Si Mo.
Si Mo, in a mystic robe and brocade, stood opposite Ji Yaohua, his features as handsome as a god’s, and his invincible aura making the world seemingly dim.
His presence seemed to represent the most beautiful scenery on earth.
His amber eyes resembled a vast universe, full of mystery and boundless.
"Who is this person?"
"So handsome!"
"Such stunning looks!"
"Getting a single glance from him, I’d die willingly!"
Nearby, similar exclamations kept resonating, filling Mu Qingge’s heart with pride.
Yes, her man is exceptional!
Si Mo had the golden hollow Palace Bell hung at his waist, prompting Mu Qingge to silently lower her hand, clutching her own Palace Bell to prevent people from seeing.
Sang Xuewu, standing nearby, accidentally noticed this.
The two identical Palace Bells appearing on different individuals led to her pondering, her gaze subtly moving between Mu Qingge and Si Mo, gradually revealing surprise.
Mu Qingge’s concealment of the Palace Bell wasn’t to hide her relationship with Si Mo; she simply didn’t want anyone to notice it and thereby uncover her identity.
Sang Xuewu’s surprise made her turn her gaze.
Under her clear and penetrating eyes, Sang Xuewu immediately restrained her surprise, obediently standing beside her.
Just then, looking at Si Mo, she secretly guessed, ’Could this be their brother-in-law?’
Is the brother-in-law here for revenge on behalf of the sister?
This discovery filled Sang Xuewu’s eyes with youthful anticipation.
"How’s the injury?" Si Mo asked blandly.
Ji Yaohua sighed, shaking her head, "It’s healed."
"Healing is good." Si Mo nodded, his tone seemed devoid of concern for Ji Yaohua’s condition. Indeed, he added, "Good, so it’s not bullying the sick."
Uh—!
Upon hearing this, everyone had shock and bewilderment written across their faces.
Ji Yaohua’s smile also froze.
"Only such a man qualifies to be my man!" On the other side, Han Yiren stood among the crowd, looking at Si Mo like a deity, eyes full of admiration.
Standing next to her were Han Caicai and Ruan Qinglian.
The former, with an unpleasant expression, focused on Si Mo, paying no attention to others, while the latter kept her entire attention on the former.
"Let’s start!" Ji Yaohua gritted her teeth and charged at Si Mo.
However, Si Mo merely stood motionless, even managing a glance and gentle smile in Mu Qingge’s direction.
This instantly elicited countless cheers from the women there.
This sight made Mu Qingge’s mouth twitch slightly.
Bang, bang, bang—!
It was a completely one-sided, brutal fight.
Si Mo couldn’t be bothered to move his feet and simply beat Ji Yaohua to a pulp. Even with Ji Yaohua’s full offensive, it failed to scratch Si Mo.
During the fight, cries of surprise constantly erupted, ’Huh!’ ’Oh!’
When Ji Yaohua lay incapacitated on the ground, unable to rise, he already bore more than twenty wounds.
If one noticed, they’d see that the positions of his wounds aligned exactly with those Si Mo left on Mu Qingge’s body in the morning—
