Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 632

Chapter 632: Chapter 67: It Feels Great to Have Someone Backing You! Lord Hou Takes the Stage

"The one who took your spoils is not me, Bailian." The atmosphere began to tense, but the leader of Bailian still wanted to argue, trying to distance himself from the situation.

His words made Gong Mifang unhappy. She immediately shouted, "Hey, what are you talking about?"

However, the leader of Bailian didn’t have time to respond to her, only watching Mo Yang cautiously, preventing any sudden moves from him.

Mo Yang looked at him calmly, showing a sneer, "She doesn’t understand the rules, does Bailian not understand either?"

This was truly a joke!

The leader of Bailian frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "We are only responsible for protecting Miss Gong’s safety, we cannot interfere with her actions."

After speaking, he looked at Gong Mifang.

If at this time, Gong Mifang was a bit clever and backed down by putting down the One-winged Beast, this matter would come to an end. However, she didn’t do that; instead, she held the One-winged Beast tighter and shouted loudly, "I found this. Why do you say it’s yours and it’s yours?"

She pointed at the other spirit beast corpses on the ground, righteously said, "Besides, you already have so many, how can you be so shameless to compete with me?"

Entering the Canglan Mountain Range for seven days, she hadn’t personally hunted any spirit beasts.

This One-winged Beast corpse wasn’t killed by her, but she found it. By any measure, it counted as her trophy, and she wouldn’t give it up for anything!

Determination shone in Gong Mifang’s eyes, unwilling to compromise in the slightest.

Her unreasonable arguments made Mo Yang impatiently frown.

Sang Yichen couldn’t help but say, "Do you have no shame? How can you brazenly say such things!"

"What did you say, you brat?" Gong Mifang immediately yelled at Sang Yichen.

At this moment, she seriously looked at Sang Yichen, examining him thoroughly. Instantly, she recognized his identity. "Oh, I know who you are. You’re that waste from the Sang Family, right? All glitz with no substance, unable to inherit the Sang Family’s bloodline."

Gong Mifang’s tone was full of disdain and mockery.

She noticed Sang Xuewu standing in the crowd. Being from a West Continent family as well, she naturally recognized Sang Xuewu, especially since Sang Xuewu had gained some fame in the Sunset Grassland recently.

Guessing Sang Xuewu’s identity, she surmised that the man constantly contesting with her was Sang Xuewu’s infamous waste brother.

"You!" Sang Yichen was trembling with anger.

Sang Xuewu instantly appeared beside Sang Yichen, her exquisite features ice-cold, coldly glaring at Gong Mifang, "Miss Gong, please choose your words carefully. Yichen is by no means a waste."

Gong Mifang’s gaze cut harshly over Sang Xuewu’s body, filled with thick jealousy. She mocked, "What? Have I said something wrong? This is a well-known fact in the West Continent!"

"Who are you calling a waste?" A cold, arrogant voice suddenly interjected, instantly drawing attention from both sides.

The crowd followed the voice to see two people walking out from the forest behind the Dragon Tooth Guards.

One person in crimson clothes, elegant and carefree. Another, tall in a mystic robe, mysterious and elusive. They clearly saw this person, yet their impression of him was very vague, so much so they couldn’t even remember his appearance. They only vaguely recalled him holding an adorably foolish rabbit.

His presence made people automatically overlook him, directing all attention to the red-clad individual walking in front.

When that stunningly beautiful, gender-indistinct face, like a sunrise illumination, appeared before everyone, both men and women couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Mo Yang immediately knelt on one knee, and the other Dragon Tooth Guards followed his lead, kneeling in unison, loudly shouting, "Little Lord!"

Mu Qingge strolled leisurely past them, walking to the forefront to confront the people of Bailian. "Rise."

Mo Yang and the others stood following orders. After Mu Qingge appeared, their demeanor became even sharper, like a treasure sword newly drawn from its sheath and polished.

"Was it you who called him a waste?" Mu Qingge spoke again, her gaze skipping over the people of Bailian, landing on Gong Mifang.

It was as if the people of Bailian were insignificant in her eyes.

This feeling left the people of Bailian inexplicably embarrassed.

Mu Qingge’s voice snapped Gong Mifang out of her amazement. Seeing Qingge looking at her, her cheeks flushed, and she nodded shyly.

In her dazed state, she hadn’t comprehended what Mu Qingge was asking.

"Very well." Seeing her admit, Mu Qingge coldly uttered two words.

Very well? Very well, what?

Gong Mifang was completely baffled.

"Come over here." Mu Qingge didn’t explain, just called out.

For some reason, Sang Yichen knew Mu Qingge was calling him. He rushed to her side, feeling aggrieved like a child, muttering softly, "Boss."

"Challenge her." Mu Qingge didn’t even glance at him, directly giving the order.

Huh?

Sang Yichen raised his head in shock, looking at Mu Qingge, then at the still-baffled Gong Mifang.

Not only Gong Mifang, but even the people of Bailian and Sang Xuewu were puzzled by Mu Qingge’s words.

Seeing Sang Yichen stagnant, Mu Qingge’s gaze slightly shifted toward him, mocking, "What? Are you attached to that ’waste’ title?"

Sang Yichen’s body tensed, instantly understanding Mu Qingge’s meaning.

Taking a deep breath, he strode out, addressing Gong Mifang, "I challenge you." Then looked at the people of Bailian, confidently stating, "This is a matter between our families. Does Bailian intend to interfere?"

This statement stopped the Bailian deputy leader, who was about to speak.

Earlier, he had completely distanced himself from the situation. If he were to meddle in an inter-family challenge now, wouldn’t he be slapping his own face?

The Bailian leader closed his mouth with an embarrassed expression, and Gong Mifang bit her lip in anger, glaring at Sang Yichen without saying a word.

Sang Yichen laughed mockingly, "Can’t even accept a challenge from a waste?" He deliberately emphasized the word ’waste,’ as if releasing long-suppressed resentment.

Sang Xuewu felt heartache listening on the side.

Just because Yichen hadn’t inherited the Sang Family’s artifact refining bloodline, he was mocked as a waste.

Despite his exceptional cultivation talent, he wasn’t valued.

Gradually, he hid himself, quietly cultivating, never explaining anything to anyone. Only she and their mother knew that their Yichen was not a waste.

Sang Xuewu lifted her eyes to Mu Qingge’s back, feeling a twinge of bitterness.

The elder sister’s appearance seemed to be silently changing their current way of life, allowing them to gradually let go of some concerns and justifiably be themselves again.

Although Mu Qingge wouldn’t acknowledge them, she made them feel supported, like they had someone to rely on.

So she could muster the courage to refuse when Ji Yaohua mocked the Sang Family. So Yichen could stand bravely after being called a waste, to prove himself to the world!

Such things she could not accomplish, but their elder sister could easily do.

Can’t even accept a challenge from a waste?

Gong Mifang’s rage soared! With so many people here, if she really chickened out today, wouldn’t today’s events get out, and she would lose face completely?

"Challenge? Challenge! A waste seeking humiliation, should I feel sympathetic?" Mind heated, Gong Mifang agreed.

So quickly that the Bailian leader couldn’t stop her, cursing internally, ’Really a pig brain! How cannot someone notice such obvious provocation?’ He was a seasoned Floating Guest with far more experience than these family-raised clan members who only saw a limited world.

From the moment Sang Yichen stepped up and actively challenged, he suspected this so-called waste wasn’t as simple as rumored. Having protected Gong Mifang all along, he knew her capabilities.

A person at the Gray Realm Second Layer was nothing but a weakling to him.

Unfortunately, Gong Mifang had already agreed, so now he could only hope Sang Yichen was indeed as worthless as rumored, incapable of defeating even someone at the Gray Realm Second Layer.

"Miss Gong, if you can’t hold out, admit defeat yourself. Don’t act rashly." The Bailian leader kindly reminded before Gong Mifang stepped forward.

After all, they bear the duty of protecting Gong Mifang. If Gong Mifang gets hurt in the challenge, it would be hard to explain to the Gong Family upon returning.

However, Gong Mifang wasn’t appreciative at all. Instead, she furrowed her eyebrows and shouted at him, "Do you think I would lose to a useless fool?"

Mu Qingge’s eyes hinted at a sneer, and he leisurely instructed Sang Yichen, "Fight however you want, it doesn’t matter even if you kill her."

These words were undoubtedly the greatest encouragement for Sang Yichen!

"Understood, boss!" He immediately straightened his chest and cast aside all his concerns!

Of course, he couldn’t really kill Gong Mifang and bring trouble for Mu Qingge. A thorough lesson was unavoidable.

Sang Yichen’s smile turned slightly sinister as he began to flex his wrists.

At this moment, Gong Mifang also stood at the forefront, standing opposite him.

She tossed the One-winged Beast to the leader of Bailian team and commanded with a hostile tone, "Hey, take good care of this Missy’s pet. Give it back to me after I’ve taught this useless fool a lesson."

Up to this moment, she was still brimming with confidence.

However, before starting, she glanced cautiously at Sang Xuewu, telling her, "Let’s agree first, if I win, you can’t challenge me again." Sang Xuewu was on the Cub Phoenix List, and she simply couldn’t beat her.

"I’m not going to interfere." Sang Xuewu replied crisply.

This trash, even her brother could easily handle, where would there be an opportunity for her to make a move? Besides, if there’s someone even Sang Yichen couldn’t defeat, then she wouldn’t be able to either. Sang Yichen’s cultivation is higher than hers, after all.

Having received Sang Xuewu’s assurance, Gong Mifang felt slightly relieved. Then, with sultry eyes, she looked at Mu Qingge coquettishly and said, "Mr. Mu, this is a matter between our families. If Mifang happens to win, you mustn’t interfere and help them bully me, alright?"

This affected tone made the Dragon Tooth Guards shiver with goosebumps all over. Even the Bailian people felt the same!

Mu Qingge, however, maintained a calm smile and said, "Rest assured."

See!

Isn’t this what you call disparity?

To endure what others cannot, their young lord is no ordinary person indeed!

From unseen angles, the Dragon Tooth Guards cast admiring glances at Mu Qingge. Only Si Mo, being ignored, stared coldly with a murderous gaze at the woman who dared to seduce his woman right in front of him... hmm... that woman.

Gong Mifang, completely unaware of the strange looks around her, raised her proud chin, pointing at Sang Yichen. "Hey, Sang Family’s trash, don’t say this Missy bullied you, I’ll let you strike first."

This pig!

The leader of Bailian felt his vision darken.

Sang Yichen, however, chuckled playfully, and without a shred of politeness, said to her, "Then, thank you very much!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered and appeared in front of Gong Mifang. His speed left her no time to detect his approach. When Sang Yichen appeared before her, she froze on the spot, momentarily forgetting to respond.

Sang Yichen gave her a shy smile, but his hands showed no mercy.

Bam—!

What is sparing a tender hand? To a young man like Sang Yichen, who’s yet to experience love, he simply doesn’t understand!

A punch landed directly on Gong Mifang’s face, jolting her back to her senses, tears bursting forth.

"Ah! You dare hurt me, I’ll kill you!" Gong Mifang was utterly enraged, consumed by irrational madness.

A flash of light in her hand produced her weapon, swinging it towards Sang Yichen with real killing intent behind her vicious moves.

Sang Yichen easily dodged, still dealing with her barehanded.

With a sidestep, he seized Gong Mifang’s wrist, twisted it forcefully, prompting a cry of agony from her.

"Ah—!"

With her scream, her weapon fell to the ground with a clatter. Without her weapon, she was even less of a match for Sang Yichen.

She was simply being thoroughly dominated!

"Trash! Trash! Daring to call me trash!" Sang Yichen roared with anger, venting his frustration while pummeling Gong Mifang.

The Bailian people watched on, their hearts gripped with fear, the leader acutely aware that against Gong Mifang, Sang Yichen wasn’t even utilizing spiritual power.

’Is he really trash? Perhaps... he’s just not skilled in artifact refining...’ The Bailian leader inadvertently guessed the truth.

"Ah—!"

"Ah ah—!"

Gong Mifang kept screaming, tossed around like a sandbag.

If both parties were men, this scene would still be fine, but to see a woman beaten like this stirred a sense of pity in the Floating Guest’s hearts.

Aside from the Dragon Tooth Guards who felt nothing, only Si Mo looked on with delight, suddenly finding Sang Yichen more agreeable.

"Mr. Mu, please, enough is enough." The Bailian leader really couldn’t bear to watch any longer and spoke up.

Mu Qingge, however, maintained a faint smile and looked at him, "I haven’t heard Miss Gong concede yet, meaning she can still endure. Who knows, maybe in a while, she’ll recover and fight back?"

’Could she possibly recover and fight back in that condition? Mr. Mu, are you trying to fool a three-year-old?’ The Bailian leader complained internally.

So cunning! Too cunning!

"Ah—!" Gong Mifang screamed again, crashing heavily to the ground, spurting blood from her mouth.

Her face, beaten into the size of a pig’s head, was unrecognizable; as for her body, obscured by clothes, it’s unclear how serious her injuries were, but given Sang Yichen’s merciless methods, prospects weren’t good.

"Miss Gong!" The Bailian leader internally cried ’not good!’ and led the Bailian team to rush forward.

As soon as the Bailian team moved, the Dragon Tooth Guards immediately surrounded them, stopping any further advances.

Mu Qingge’s cold voice floated over from behind the Dragon Tooth Guards, "Don’t think of breaking the rules. If you want to fight, the Dragon Tooth is here till the end."

The Bailian leader was both furious and anxious, blocked by the Dragon Tooth, he could no longer see Gong Mifang’s miserable state, only hearing her continuous screams.

Helplessly, he could only shout, "Miss Gong, concede quickly!"

Being reminded, Gong Mifang weakly cried, "I... I concede... I lost..."

Once she shouted these words, Sang Yichen’s fist stopped before her nose, scaring her almost to faint.

Sang Yichen turned his head to look at Mu Qingge. After the latter gave a slight nod, he withdrew his fist, stepped back, and tidied his clothes.

With the battle over, the Dragon Tooth Guards quickly retreated, reforming behind Mu Qingge.

Allowing the Bailian team to finally see Gong Mifang’s current state.

Hiss—!

Seeing her clearly, Bailian members couldn’t help but gasp. They admired inwardly, ’That Sang Family kid really has harsh hands! Miss Gong, though not a surpassing beauty, is a delicate young lady, yet he had the heart to beat her into a pig’s head.’

Sang Yichen returned to stand behind Mu Qingge, his breath slightly heavy from the earlier fight... uh, one-sided thrashing rather.

He said nothing, just tightly pursed his lips, his eyes earnestly fixed on Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s clear gaze swept over Gong Mifang, and he spoke calmly, "Since Miss Gong hasn’t conceded, this means she can still take it. Who knows, perhaps she might bounce back for a counterattack?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Mifang’s eyes went black, fainting in rage.

The face of the Bailian leader shifted several times, his tone slightly cold as he said, "Mr. Mu, even though it was a fair duel, Young Master Sang beat Miss Gong like this; we cannot explain this to the Gong Family."

Si Mo was peeling the fruit for her, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes. That focused manner made Mu Qingge involuntarily swallow.

Carefully peeling the fruit and removing the pith from the pulp, he handed the clean fruit to Mu Qingge’s mouth. After watching her eat, he said, "Every army has a core component, Ge’er need not worry about this. You can create a troop of Dragon Tooth Guards, and you can equally create distinct Tiger Tooth Guards or Wolf Tooth Guards. Therefore, Mo Yang’s plan doesn’t have too many issues. The crucial thing is how to restrain these newly recruited people and how to ensure their unwavering loyalty to you."

Mu Qingge chewed the fruit pulp and frowned, "That’s exactly what’s bothering me. A team requires a collective belief, which is very important. For subordinates, unique loyalty is also crucial. However, I don’t have the time to foster such loyalty, such beliefs."

This was the main reason Mu Qingge had been hesitating whether to expand recruitment.

If the recruited people caused trouble all day, she might as well not recruit them in the first place. Keeping the five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards pure is also a great option.

Si Mo put down the fruit pulp in his hand, looked up at Mu Qingge, and said, "Ge’er, do you know the garrison locations of the three heavenly-level teams: Xuan Yue, Bailian, and Giant Spirit?"

Mu Qingge was stunned; she really didn’t know this.

She had left matters concerning the Floating Guests to Mo Yang and hadn’t paid much attention.

Seeing her reaction, Si Mo smiled. "In each continent, there are cities primarily comprising Floating Guests. There, the managers are not families, but heavenly-level Floating Guest teams."

Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up! "Is there really such a thing? So, each of these three giants holds control over one city?"

Si Mo nodded with a smile. "Xuan Yue’s managed city is in the Northern Continent, Bailian’s city is in the Eastern Continent, and Giant Spirit’s city is at the junction of the Southern and Western Continents."

"Are you suggesting that Dragon Teeth should also take over a city?" Mu Qingge tentatively asked.

After all, Dragon Teeth is now a heavenly-level Floating Guest team, and it’s not reasonable to continue roaming without a permanent place! Plus, it’s not conducive to future development.

Si Mo shook his head, "At the junction of the Central Continent and Western Continent, there’s an abandoned city. I think it’s very suitable for Dragon Teeth to occupy."

"An abandoned city?!" Mu Qingge exclaimed.

One question after another arose in her mind.

What kind of city had been abandoned?

In such a sensitive location between the Central and Western Continents, is it really unclaimed?

Why does Si Mo suggest choosing an abandoned city and starting from scratch? Why not take over a fully equipped city?

Seeing her full of doubts, Si Mo reached out and ruffled her hair, chuckling softly, "After things here are settled, I’ll take you to see it, and then explain it to you thoroughly."

Mu Qingge took a deep breath and nodded, "It seems the development of Dragon Teeth is imperative." In the Mu Mansion of Qin Country, she only wanted to be a carefree little lord, but unexpectedly, she had to become a City Lord in the Middle Ancient Realm?

Thinking of this made her feel exhausted.

However, it was indeed imperative!

"You have plenty of people around you, why don’t you put them to good use?" Si Mo reminded her.

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then slyly smiled: "Exactly! Letting them perform their duties can save them from wasting their time around me." Most importantly, she could continue being a hands-off shopkeeper, which was great!

Unburdening herself, Mu Qingge felt significantly lighter.

She lazily stretched her body, comfortably saying: "Tomorrow is the final event of the Grand Hunt, where Floating Guest teams above Earth Level will set up arenas, and anyone can come to challenge. In common terms, defending well maintains the team’s prestige, and losing brings disgrace."

"In the first two rounds, Dragon Teeth shone brightly; in this final one, Ge’er must defend well," Si Mo laughed.

The stalls set up by Dragon Teeth, once their ’products’ appeared, indeed left many people astonished.

Mu Qingge laughed: "That’s for sure. Who do you think should go to defend?"

Si Mo’s amber eyes flashed a light, smiling, "I think Hou is a good choice!"

...

The last event of the Grand Hunt was held at Sunset Grassland.

At dawn, the arenas for each Floating Guest team were already set up in the Sunset Grassland. Only Floating Guest teams above Earth Level could have arenas; those below could only envy.

The Grand Hunt is actually a grand gathering in the Floating Guest community, a day for everyone’s enjoyment. There’s no strict schedule and no extra rewards, but if you shine, you can become quite prominent in the Floating Guest community.

Dragon Teeth’s arena was placed alongside those of Xuan Yue, Bailian, and Giant Spirit.

The four heavenly-level teams occupied four directions. Dragon Teeth was in the west.

The wind roared on Sunset Grassland, blowing Dragon Teeth’s flag, which had a ferocious dragon head and sharp teeth, full of majesty.

Other arenas were already crowded with people.

Those chosen to defend the arena are the elites of each team.

Some Earth Level teams even have their team leader or commander standing as the defender.

Only Dragon Teeth’s arena was empty, save for a dumb and cute rabbit squatting on it. The rabbit looked somewhat unusual. Its body was white, but its long ears were black. Its golden eyes flickered like flames, and it had a gold ring around its neck, just like a pet some women might keep.

"Huh? Why is there a rabbit on Dragon Teeth’s arena?"

"Yeah, where’s the defender?"

"This is really strange, there’s no defender on the arena, just a rabbit squatting there! Hahaha..."

Gradually, the crowd gathered around Dragon Teeth’s arena out of curiosity, pointing and laughing at Hou. It’s not their lack of judgment or experience, but rather Hou’s deceptively innocent appearance.

Who could guess that beneath this dumb and cute exterior lay the Ancestor of Fierce Beasts?

’Damn humans! I want to suck out all your brains! How dare you laugh at me! And Mu Qingge! Letting me guard the arena and be ridiculed!’ Hou roared angrily in his heart, but due to the gold ring around his neck, he couldn’t express his dissatisfaction.

To think, as dignified Lord Hou, how did he end up like this? If this spread, how could he face other beasts?

Right now, he was just hoping someone would step onto the arena to seek death, so he could vent some of his pent-up rage.

It seemed the heavens heard his prayers, as someone indeed stepped onto the arena, standing opposite him.

Hou’s gaze slowly moved up and finally fixed on a face full of mockery.

The person standing on the arena shook a leg, looking at Hou with contempt. "Little rabbit, are you here on this arena to help Dragon Teeth defend it?"

’Congratulations, you guessed correctly!’ Hou thought fiercely.

But he was bound by a certain man’s restriction, unable to speak.

"Since you’re here, I won’t be polite. If I accidentally beat you to death, don’t blame me!" With that, the person raised his fist.

"Roar—!" A loud roar resounded from Dragon Teeth’s arena, deafening everyone and almost knocking them off their feet.

The crowd only saw a figure spewing fresh blood, flying off Dragon Teeth’s arena and soaring towards a far-off location on Sunset Grassland.

What was that situation?

Those stunned by the scene froze on the spot.

Meanwhile, Hou smacked his lips, showing a look of disdain. ’Too weak!’

Recovering from the shock, those standing below the arena looked up at the dumb and cute rabbit on the arena. Even the nearby arenas halted their competitions, looking over.

A middle-aged man at the Silver Realm Second Layer leapt onto the arena.

"Roar—!"

Again, a roar, and this time everyone saw clearly. The roar came from that dumb and cute rabbit squatting in the middle of the arena!

Immediately, the middle-aged man at the Silver Realm Second Layer, like the previous challenger, flew off the arena spitting blood and fell unconscious somewhere on Sunset Grassland.

The crowd gasped, all staring in shock at that dumb and cute rabbit...
