Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 904

Chapter 904: Chapter 339: Crimes Beyond Words! (First Update)

Outside of Starfall City, the old monsters at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, drawn by the Spirit Roots and Divine Status, resembled an insurmountable barrier, obstructing the post road at the city gates.

In secret, they convened, surrounding Starfall City and cutting off all entrances and exits, aiming to trap Mu Qingge inside and force her to compromise.

In the City Lord Mansion, Mo Yang walked swiftly with a grave expression, saluting Mu Qingge seated on the City Lord’s Throne. "Young Master, those people are surrounding the outskirts of Starfall City, connecting their aura to isolate Starfall City from the outside."

Mu Qingge barely nodded, flipping through documents with a calm and indifferent tone: "Let them be."

"But Young Master, this isn’t a solution," Mo Yang said with a frown.

Mu Qingge’s gaze lifted from the document, her clear eyes landing on Mo Yang, inexplicably soothing his agitation. "Can’t Starfall City be self-sufficient?"

Mu Qingge asked a question.

Mo Yang pressed his lips, shaking his head: "No, Starfall City can be self-sufficient."

Thus, Mu Qingge withdrew her gaze, casually saying, "Then what are you worried about? With them watching over us, Starfall City has gained so many free watchdogs; it’s a good thing."

"They’re not trying to help us, but aiming for you, Young Master," Mo Yang said angrily. "Damn it, who leaked the news that you possess five Spirit Roots, attracting these greedy people?"

Mu Qingge raised her hand, touching the Lotus Seal on her brow, smiling lightly yet still calm, "This matter would be known sooner or later; it has just come earlier now."

Mu Qingge’s composure gradually calmed Mo Yang’s mood.

Finally, Mu Qingge finished the document in her hand and asked him, "How’s the army’s preparations for the war?"

When this topic was brought up, Mo Yang also restrained his complaints. Nodding, he said, "Over the years, Starfall City has become their home. You’ve treated them exceedingly well, Young Master. Now, with the Divine Hall causing trouble, they all understand the situation and have expressed willingness to fight alongside you."

"Great. Make a list of those who perform well, and reward them accordingly," Mu Qingge nodded.

"Yes," Mo Yang noted down Mu Qingge’s orders.

He paused, seeking Mu Qingge’s advice, "Earlier, Gu Ya and Gu Ye took three hundred Dragon Tooth Guards back to Linchuan. With the battle imminent, should we call them back?"

"No need," Mu Qingge rejected his suggestion. Seeing Mo Yang’s puzzled look, she explained, "I don’t want my grandfather and the others to worry about this. Keeping them in Linchuan to protect in secret allows me to focus on dealing with the Divine Hall."

Mo Yang’s eyes flashed, becoming sharply alert. He said solemnly, "Young Master fears the Divine Hall might target the Mu Mansion again?"

Mu Qingge did not hide, nodding, "When a rabbit is pushed, it bites. Let alone the Divine Hall?" Her words carried a hint of irony, but to Mo Yang, they made perfect sense.

Five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards, if gathered, their power would increase several times; they were a formidable trump card in Mu Qingge’s hand.

Yet, for her family, Mu Qingge would rather weaken her own strength.

"And Gu Ya and Gu Ye..." Mo Yang asked tentatively. He always felt that if these two stayed by Mu Qingge’s side, she’d be much safer.

After all, outside were many old monsters eyeing her.

However, Mu Qingge still shook her head, "I’d feel more at ease with them in Linchuan. Besides, if they find out, it can’t be kept from Ah Mo. He already has many matters to handle; I don’t want to trouble him with this small issue."

Small issue?

Being enemies with the Divine Hall, starting a war with them, and being coveted by the old monsters from the Middle Ancient Realm — is this a small issue?

Mo Yang sighed inwardly, lowering his gaze. He understood Mu Qingge, knew her. Her heart cared too much, thus she shouldered everything.

Mo Yang withdrew.

After he left, from behind Mu Qingge, a small, wholly jade-white and stunningly beautiful snake emerged from the City Lord’s Throne. The snake descended the chair, transforming into an alluring, charming beauty.

Bai Xi squeezed next to Mu Qingge, sitting beside her, her supple arms naturally entwining Mu Qingge’s arm, affectionately nuzzling her head against Mu Qingge’s shoulder.

"Qingge, I don’t understand why those old folks are besieging but not attacking," Bai Xi’s doll-like voice was adorable, yet knowing her temperament, Mu Qingge wouldn’t smile.

Mu Qingge smiled lightly and replied, "Because none of them want to be the first to charge."

"I don’t understand," Bai Xi shook her head honestly, frowning.

Mu Qingge chuckled and explained, "They appear united, surrounding Starfall City, but are actually restraining each other. After all, there’s only one Mu Qingge, with just five Spirit Roots. How can so many of them divide them? Each worries someone else might seize the opportunity first. Thus, they’re holding each other back; if anyone dares to attack, they’ll be attacked together."

"Then why are they doing this? Isn’t it a waste of time?" Bai Xi still didn’t understand.

Human thought processes are sometimes truly beyond a snake’s comprehension, even one that has lived for countless ages!

"They’re waiting," Mu Qingge responded.

"Waiting? Waiting for what?" Bai Xi was puzzled.

"Waiting for me to become restless and walk out of Starfall City on my own," Mu Qingge laughed.

Bai Xi stared at her for a while, then helplessly shook her head, "I can’t understand, can’t figure out, can’t see clearly."

Her eager look for knowledge made Mu Qingge patiently explain, "They believe that by collectively applying pressure, they’ll make me live in constant fear and anxiety. Eventually, unable to bear it, I’ll want to quietly flee Starfall City. At that point, no matter which direction I choose to escape, the people guarding that direction will seize the initiative. They’re competing with me in patience."
