Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869: Chapter 304: The Jing Family’s Terms (2 Updates)

Xi Qianxue’s words stirred something in Mu Qingge’s heart.

She helped the former up from her embrace and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Xi Qianxue raised her face, her eyes hinting at tears. "The master now is no longer the same as before."

Hmm?

Xi Qianxue’s words left Mu Qingge greatly surprised.

She looked at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Under Mu Qingge’s consoling, Xi Qianxue slowly calmed her emotions. She said, "The master used to be like my parents, kind and gentle. But recently, in the past six months, I’ve constantly felt that the master’s gaze on me has an unusual glow, one I can’t describe, and it scares me."

Xi Qianxue’s words made Mu Qingge recall today’s scene in the Divine Hall with the three of them present.

The Divine Venerable’s gaze towards Xi Qianxue indeed seemed off. That kind of greed and possessiveness...

Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly, "Did he ever do anything to you?"

Xi Qianxue looked at Mu Qingge in confusion, "What do you mean by anything?"

Mu Qingge tugged at her lips awkwardly and said, "I mean, did he ever offend you? Use an excuse to touch you?"

These clear words made Xi Qianxue blush and shake her head. "No, nothing like that happened. However, lately, he always wants to train alone with me, finding various excuses, and I’ve refused them multiple times."

After speaking, she still couldn’t believe it, saying, "But... he’s my master! Why would he... why would he..." She couldn’t speak the words, but she believed Mu Qingge understood.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, saying to Xi Qianxue: "Some people are not just what you see on the surface. Didn’t you just ask me what your master wants from me?"

Xi Qianxue nodded.

Mu Qingge sneered, "He sought me out merely to coerce and lure me into handing over my Alchemy Furnace."

"What!" Xi Qianxue stood up in disbelief, murmuring, "How can it be?"

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, "Why not? This Alchemy Furnace has quite a background. It’s said that the Divine Hall has been searching for it. But now it belongs to me, and I cannot discard it for survival. Since the end of the Alchemy Conference, the Divine Hall has made no fewer than three attempts to assassinate me. The second attempt even set an ambush in Ruishui River; fortunately, Wei Molili, Ji Yaohua, Ying Ze, and Yao Xinghai were with me, fighting side by side, and we eventually killed all those assassins."

"But... how do you know it’s the Divine Hall?" Xi Qianxue was highly shocked. It was hard for her to accept that the faith she has worshipped since childhood was such a dirty existence.

Mu Qingge looked at her, waving her hand before her face. A phantom face appeared briefly in front of Xi Qianxue.

Only for a moment, it vanished again.

"Do you recognize him?" Mu Qingge asked.

Just now, she used a small spell from the Divine Strategy Middle Volume to conjure the appearance of the Divine Envoy who represented the Divine Hall at the Alchemy Conference and was the first to attempt killing her.

Since he could represent the Divine Hall, his status would not be low, so Xi Qianxue wouldn’t fail to recognize him.

Indeed, although the image lasted only a moment, Xi Qianxue saw clearly. Her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, mumbling repeatedly, "Impossible... impossible... Divine Envoy Xiao..."

Divine Envoy Xiao?

Mu Qingge found it amusing; it was only now she learned the surname of the person who chased her into Nine Springs Cave.

"He was the leader of the first group to hunt me. The second group also hunted Wei Molili." After speaking, Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows at Xi Qianxue.

Xi Qianxue was very intelligent; she believed her words reached this point, and combined with today’s actions of the Divine Venerable inviting her to the Divine Hall, this perceptive girl should be able to discern the truth.

Xi Qianxue collapsed into the chair, lost and bewildered.

Mu Qingge watched her, adding, "Actually, your mission to assassinate me back then also proves the Divine Hall is far less glorious than its appearance."

Crack!

In Xi Qianxue’s heart, something seemed to shatter along with Mu Qingge’s words.

In a trance, she asked herself, ’Yes! How did I forget?’

"These are nothing but conflicts of interest, differing stances naturally making right and wrong hard to distinguish, so you needn’t be overly troubled. But you should be careful not to let your master take advantage of you." Mu Qingge pulled out a small porcelain bottle, placing it in front of Xi Qianxue.

Xi Qianxue’s dazed, wandering gaze slowly settled on the bottle.

"This is a colorless, odorless poison I’ve concocted. Keep it with you, and if you encounter an emergency, shatter it. The poison it releases can paralyze anyone, ignoring realms," Mu Qingge explained.

Xi Qianxue stared bewilderedly at her, seemingly shocked by the poison’s effect.

Mu Qingge laughed, "You needn’t be too surprised; it’s not as potent as you imagine. It’s a psychological toxin, somewhat similar to the ability of the little monster we encountered in the Ancient Battlefield, affecting Spiritual Sense rather than the physical body. Moreover, it can only paralyze for one hour. So once you use it, you’ll have just one hour to protect yourself and find a way to escape."

Xi Qianxue extended her hand, taking the bottle from Mu Qingge’s grasp.
