Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 634

Chapter 634: Chapter 69: Mu Qingge, You Heartless Scoundrel!

Bang!

Bang bang!

In the space, explosions continuously came from Qingge’s Artifact Refining Room.

Mengmeng and Yuanyuan stood side by side, looking at the Artifact Refining Room emitting black smoke, both having an expression of helplessness on their beautiful faces.

"How many times has it been, and Master Silver hasn’t given up yet?" Mengmeng shook her head, her big eyes blinking.

Beside her, Yuanyuan lowered his head, carefully counting his fingers. After using all ten fingers, he found it wasn’t enough. He raised his face, a fiery vermillion between his brows looking particularly enchanting, and said to Mengmeng, "Was it twelve times, or fifteen times?"

Just after they finished speaking, the door of the Artifact Refining Room opened, and a puff of dense smoke floated out, permeating the space.

"Cough, cough..."

"Cough, cough!"

Mengmeng and Yuanyuan were choked and quickly took a few steps back.

When the smoke cleared, they saw a figure, looking disheveled yet with a charming grace, walking out. She paced with her hands behind her back, her eyes lowered as if pondering something deeply, completely unaware of the two standing outside.

When she passed by Mengmeng and Yuanyuan, they noticed her exquisitely beautiful face was smeared with black and red dirt, and her red robe looked as if it had been pulled from ash.

The two watched her leave, their little faces showing a trace of horror.

"What’s up with Mommy Boss? Is she possessed?" Yuanyuan tugged on Mengmeng’s clothes, asking in a daze.

Mengmeng blinked and nodded, saying, "She’s possessed."

"It’s just artifact refining, is it really that troublesome?" Yuanyuan muttered incomprehensibly.

Suddenly, a pain shot through his forehead, and his pretty face twisted.

"Mengmeng, what are you doing!" Yuanyuan covered his forehead, shouting at the culprit.

Mengmeng widened her big eyes, placed her hands on her hips, and said, "Are you an Artifact Refiner? Do you know what artifact refining means? Master Silver is striving for perfection, wanting to break through and forge a Divine Artifact-level weapon."

"But she can’t just drive herself mad without eating or sleeping!" Yuanyuan said, aggrieved.

He was only concerned about his Mommy Boss’s health.

Mengmeng sighed dramatically like a mature person, saying helplessly, "You know Master Silver’s temperament; once she decides to do something, she throws herself into it wholeheartedly. This time, she’s been in seclusion for half a month and still knows to come out; that’s already a good thing. Before you few guys came, she was like this when pondering alchemy too."

When Qingge appeared before them again, she had already changed into clean clothes, looking much more refreshed.

Seeing the two standing there, she paused in surprise and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Yuanyuan immediately ran to her side, acting spoiled with grievance, "Mommy Boss, you just noticed us!"

Qingge blinked.

"Of course, otherwise why would Master Silver look so surprised?" Mengmeng also came over, pouting at Qingge.

"Hehe." Qingge chuckled, curiously asking, "Have you two been here the whole time?"

Seeing Yuanyuan and Mengmeng nodding vigorously, her mouth twitched, explaining, "I was thinking about some issues just now, so I didn’t notice."

As a result, they both gave her a look of ’I figured.’"

Qingge rubbed her nose and said to the two, "I’ll go out first, Yuanyuan can stay in the space for now." Before leaving, she turned back to remind them, "By the way, if you have nothing to do, don’t provoke Huo. That guy, constrained by the Mother and Child Rings’ power, has to be suppressed by me, but he might not tolerate you two troublemakers."

"Got it."

"Don’t worry, Mommy Boss."

Mengmeng and Yuanyuan promised.

Qingge raised an eyebrow. Don’t worry? With these two together, she was anything but relieved.

"Anyway, if you provoke him yourselves and he bullies you, don’t come crying to me." Qingge said, then turned and left the space, disappearing before them.

...

In a certain inn, in a quiet and elegant courtyard, Bai Xi blocked the doorway outside.

Standing in the corridor in front of her were Xie Ya and Xuan Ya.

"Sister Bai Xi, please step aside; we need to go in to serve the Young Master," Xuan Ya said, holding washing tools.

Xie Ya held a tray with some exquisite foods Qingge liked.

"Qingge is in seclusion, she can’t be disturbed." Bai Xi crossed her arms lazily leaning against the door, her upward-slanting eyes half-closed.

Xuan Ya frowned, wanting to speak, but was stopped by Xie Ya.

Xie Ya said, "Sister Bai Xi, you say the Young Master is in seclusion. It has been half a month. He still needs to eat, drink, and freshen up. We just want to put the things down and leave; we won’t disturb the Young Master."

Qingge’s seclusion had not been notified to the two of them.

Just half a month ago, when they came to serve, they were stopped outside by Bai Xi and told Qingge was in seclusion.

Time passed, and half a month later, they had stayed in Liuhuo City for half a month as well. Those families and Floating Guests who had come for the big hunt had already dispersed, and bustling Liuhuo City had become much quieter.

"Are you suspecting I’m lying? Or worried I’ll eat Qingge?" Bai Xi said with a playful look in her eyes.

Xie Ya pursed her lips.

Xuan Ya hesitantly said, "Sister Bai Xi, don’t misunderstand, we just want to ensure the Young Master is safe."

"She is fine," Bai Xi said.

"Sister Bai Xi, our duty is to take care of the Young Master, to protect him. If the Young Master is going into danger, we must stay by his side," Xie Ya said, biting her lip.

What they were worried about was that Qingge had sneaked off somewhere dangerous again. What if something happened, what then?

"If Qingge were really in danger, what could you do with your skills?" Bai Xi mocked mercilessly.

This comment rendered Xuan Ya and Xie Ya speechless.

They were still only at the Gray Realm Fifth and Sixth Layers, neither had broken through to the Silver Realm. If even Qingge at the Silver Realm Third Layer couldn’t handle it, what could they do?

"Worrying about Qingge is fine, but the first thing you should remember and must do is to follow her arrangements." Bai Xi’s voice turned cold, her sweet childlike tone carrying an implicit cold authority.

"Sister Bai Xi is right." Xie Ya lowered her eyes, her long lashes hiding her emotions.

Xuan Ya didn’t argue further either.

"Let them in." Suddenly, Qingge’s voice came from the quiet room.

A ghostly gleam flickered in Bai Xi’s eyes as she stepped aside from blocking the way.

She pushed open the door to see Qingge seated gracefully in a chair. Twisting her snake-like waist, she entered the room and clung her arms affectionately around Qingge’s arm. "Qingge."

Qingge turned her eyes to her, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, not stopping her from drawing closer.

Then, she turned her gaze towards Xuan Ya and Xie Ya stepping into the room.

The two women were relieved to see Qingge sitting well in the room. After putting down what they held, they knelt before Qingge to plead for forgiveness.

"Alright, get up," Qingge casually said.

Xuan Ya and Xie Ya thanked her and stood up.

Xie Ya said, "Young Master, I received a message from the clan the day before yesterday that the High Priest has set out to the Middle Ancient Realm to meet with you."

"Oh?" Qingge’s eyes brightened, and she withdrew her arm from Bai Xi’s embrace and stood up.

Finally, the old man he’s been waiting for is coming! Are the questions in his heart about to be answered?

"When is the High Priest arriving?" Qingge asked.

Xie Ya said, "The High Priest is still on the way; please set a place for meeting that will be convenient for both sides."

Qingge lowered her head in thought, then took out a map of the West Continent, spreading it out on the table before her. She had to visit Fusha City to meet Sang Lanruo and Mu Liancheng personally. Currently, she was still in Liuhuo City...

Mu Qingge’s finger lightly traced the map, finally stopping on a city between Liuhuo City and Fusha City. "This one then, Chaohan City."

Xie Ya noted the location, estimated in her heart, and said to Mu Qingge, "When we received the message, the High Priest had already entered the Southern Continent. If he uses the teleportation array to come over, the time will be greatly shortened. As we set off for Chaohan City, it will probably take about ten days on the road. I guess, we won’t have to wait long in Chaohan City before the High Priest arrives."

Mu Qingge nodded.

This is best, no need to delay too much time.

Why not choose to meet directly in Fusha City? Because the Sang Family is there, she has private matters to attend to and doesn’t want other forces or issues mixed in at that time.

"We’ll set off tomorrow," Mu Qingge set the time.

"Young Master," Xuan Ya spoke up at this moment, "You once asked me to keep an eye on any news about Mu Luofeng. Lately, I found someone with a similar figure to Mu Luofeng appearing in the West Continent."

"Mu Luofeng appeared?" Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes, a hint of coldness flashing through them. "Continue investigating and confirm the identity." Can she let someone who dared to frame her continue to live freely?

Xuan Ya nodded. She continued, "Young Master, there’s another matter..." she hesitated, glancing in Bai Xi’s direction.

Mu Qingge followed her gaze and said nonchalantly, "Bai Xi is not an outsider."

This made Bai Xi smile happily.

Xuan Ya, no longer worried, spoke, "About the map on my sister Xie Ya and me, perhaps I have found another way to detach it."

"Speak," Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, the clear eyes becoming hot.

"I carefully recalled the ancient texts I had seen in the clan, which recorded a method of transference, allowing the map on us to be transferred to another person," Xuan Ya explained.

"Transference?" Mu Qingge frowned.

What’s the point of just transferring it? It’s merely changing from one person to another.

Xuan Ya continued, "I understand that Young Master is a righteous person and has no other intentions toward the two of us. But eventually, Young Master will get married. If Young Master has someone in mind, we can transfer the map to her. As long as Young Master consummates the marriage with her, she can easily obtain the map, wouldn’t that be perfect?"

After speaking, she looked at Mu Qingge anxiously because she couldn’t figure out the relationship between that suddenly appearing and disappearing person and their Young Master.

Those intimate gestures seemed beyond the friendship between the same gender.

However, their Mu Clan’s Young Master must have bloodline continuity. Thus, the method is genuine, and so is the probing.

"What if it were transferred directly to me?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked.

Xuan Ya was stunned, but she shook her head, "Firstly, this method can only be transferred to a woman. Secondly, as a carrier, the person being transferred still cannot see the map’s content, just like Xie Ya and me."

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered and said to the two, "You two, leave first."

Her reaction and answer exceeded Xuan Ya’s expectations.

"Yes, Young Master."

Without defying Mu Qingge’s order, Xie Ya and Xuan Ya left the room.

After the others left, Mu Qingge saw Bai Xi’s mischievous gaze.

"Funny, isn’t it?" Mu Qingge said, annoyed.

Xuan Ya’s method is entirely impractical!

"I’m looking forward to how you’ll handle it in the future: marry a wife or a husband?" Bai Xi teased.

Mu Qingge’s face darkened, showing defiance between her brows and assertively said, "Of course, marry a husband!"

"Pff!" Bai Xi chuckled, casting a look of admiration at Mu Qingge.

Bai Xi leaned toward Mu Qingge, saying ambiguously, "You and that adult, have you already... mmhm?"

Mu Qingge cast a playful gaze at her, "You’re just a snake, why are you so gossipy?"

Bai Xi’s eyebrows shot up in mock anger, "What’s wrong with a snake? Can’t a snake be curious about romance?"

Mu Qingge looked at her dumbfounded, blurting out, "Don’t tell me you’ve never loved anyone in any of your lifetimes?" So, the eternal bachelor isn’t just Si Mo!

Bai Xi’s expression turned awkward, muttering, "My memory hasn’t entirely returned, how would I remember love and such? But I don’t think I’ve ever loved anyone." Curiously, she asked, "What is love like? Is it tasty?"

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she coldly laughed and answered, "It’s something you can only understand, not convey. If you’re truly curious, you could always fall in love yourself."

Uh!

"With whom?" Bai Xi froze.

Mu Qingge blinked, responding seriously, "I think Yin Chen is not bad."

Bai Xi’s eyes widened in surprise and immediately rejected, "That stinky fox? Forget it. Just smelling his scent makes me uncomfortable!"

"He finds your appetite off-putting too. See, don’t you think you two are well-matched?" Mu Qingge teased while trying to suppress her laughter.

"..." Bai Xi looked at Mu Qingge with her mouth slightly agape, unable to tell if her words were a joke or a serious suggestion.

Bai Xi shook her head vigorously, tossing the topic aside. "How did your efforts turn out over these past two weeks?"

Mu Qingge sighed and shook her head slowly, "Divine Artifact refining isn’t that easy to accomplish. Over these two weeks, I’ve been unable to break through."

"Don’t worry; you might achieve it effortlessly one day," Bai Xi consoled.

Mu Qingge nodded.

This truth she naturally understood, which is why she left the Artifact Refining Room. Previously, she wanted to quickly upgrade the Dragon Tooth Guards’ equipment and hoped to forge divine armor and weapons, which made her somewhat impatient.

A little rest might bring unexpected insights.

"This artifact refining, you’ve been relying solely on yourself to explore. Perhaps this visit to Fusha City, encountering the Sang Family’s artifact refining technique, might offer inspiration," Bai Xi suggested.

"That’s true, but how can the Sang Family’s artifact refining technique be so easily witnessed?" Mu Qingge pondered.

Sang Xuewu took away the Qilin Armor Earth Dragon Beast, claiming to forge armor. When she sees the finished product, she might glean some insights from it. But it will likely be just the tip of the iceberg.

Si Mo also mentioned that the Sang Family’s artifact refining technique, inherited from ancient methods, is worth referencing.

Thus, if she wishes to break through further in artifact refining, a trip to the Sang Family might be inevitable. However, how can she witness the Sang Family’s technique at their place?

If she reveals her identity and tells the Sang Family about her artifact refiner bloodline, she would surely see it easily.

But she doesn’t want to do that. She doesn’t want any entanglements with the Sang Family, nor does she wish to seek them out or owe them favors.

Approach Sang Xuewu or Sang Lanruo and have them inform her?

Mu Qingge shook her head. ’Forget it, she doesn’t want to involve them in her matters. Passing down family secret techniques privately could risk their punishment; should she save them or not?’

To date, Mu Qingge doesn’t wish to complicate her relationships with Sang Lanruo, or even Sang Xuewu and Sang Yichen.

Even if they are kin!

"If worst comes to worst, we can always steal it!" Bai Xi suggested with a glint in her eyes.

Steal?

Mu Qingge glanced at her but said, "Generally, these artifact refining techniques are orally passed down, taught directly; how could there be any manuals or the like to steal?" The Sang Family’s refining methods aren’t secret within their family. Yet, they are not easily shared.

"This won’t work, that also won’t, what do we do?" Bai Xi also knitted her brows in a headache.

"Let’s wait until we reach Fusha City," Mu Qingge finally decided.

Sitting here and daydreaming isn’t solving anything. Once she reaches Fusha City, she can take it step by step.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Mu Qingge boarded the spiritual beast car heading towards Chaohan City.

The driver was a hired coachman.

She, along with Bai Xi, Xie Ya, and Xuan Ya sat inside the spacious carriage.

The coachman was a local, frequently traveling between Liuhuo City and Chaohan City, familiar with the route. This was why Mu Qingge hired him.

On the wide post road, the spiritual beast car ran swiftly.

The coachman swung his long whip, repeatedly hitting the spirit beast, urging it to run fast.
