Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 956

Chapter 956: Chapter 41: Cough, Cough, Cough! (Double Update)

This statement is utterly lacking in substance.

However, this is the territory of the Insect Clan, the Gugu Tribe’s main camp. So, upon Feng Tu’s command, the Insect Clan people still brought steaming dishes up and placed them on the long table.

"Hehe, please everyone, help yourselves, don’t be shy," Feng Tu invited.

The Insect Clan rarely has outsiders come, so naturally, they wouldn’t prepare those hosting Dancing Girls or performances. A reception feast was eaten in extreme silence.

Initially, at the banquet, Feng Tu, the host, was supposed to properly maintain the atmosphere of the event.

However, once Si Mo appeared, he just wanted the event to quickly end, and didn’t bother with small talk or conversations.

Even the toasting, after a polite toast, each resumed eating individually.

During the feast, Tong Teng occasionally curiously observed the Demon Clan, while eating the food on his table. Lingling’s gaze would sneakily shift from Mu Qingge to Si Mo, then back from him to Mu Qingge.

It’s likely she had no idea what her food tasted like in the end.

The meal was eaten in extreme awkwardness.

After everyone had their fill, Feng Tu spoke up: "You all came for that Exotic Treasure, so I won’t say any formalities. As for what the Exotic Treasure really is, even we the Insect Clan do not know. The Exotic Treasure is only showing signs of emerging but hasn’t truly done so. Tomorrow morning, our three clans will head together to the location where the Exotic Treasure will emerge. Then, whoever can gain the favor of the Exotic Treasure will depend on each clan’s fate."

He rehearsed this speech countless times in his mind, needing such practice to articulate it completely under Si Mo’s overwhelming presence.

No one knew that when he finished speaking, his back was already drenched in sweat.

With a sweaty palm gripping hard, Feng Tu gathered his courage again and stated: "Tonight, I’d like to express, if the Exotic Treasure isn’t destined for our clan, we will certainly not fight over it."

After saying this, he looked toward the direction where the Divine and Demon Clans sat, the implication clear.

Li Chao’s gaze turned heavy as he stared at Si Mo’s direction, however, as soon as he looked at Si Mo, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes and hastily pulled his vision back, not daring to look again. He feigned composure when looking at Feng Tu, "That’s great, if the treasure isn’t meant for our Divine Clan, we won’t forcibly seize it either."

Li Chao’s assertion freed Feng Tu of half his burden. Subsequently, he glanced anxiously toward Si Mo’s direction.

At this moment, the hall was very quiet.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Si Mo’s answer. He showed a faintly eerie, nerve-chilling expression before lightly releasing a single word: "Good."

This word made Feng Tu breathe a sigh of relief. He didn’t dare to hope for more, and promptly decided to yield with a statement: "In that case, everyone please rest within our clan tonight, tomorrow let’s head to where the Exotic Treasure emerges together."

The banquet dispersed.

From start to finish, Mu Qingge never once looked at Si Mo. And Si Mo, also did not give Mu Qingge undue attention.

Even as the group dispersed, Mu Qingge followed the Divine Clan back to their four rooms. While Si Mo and the Demon Clan headed in another direction of the Gugu Tribe.

Lingling followed beside the elderly man, puzzled: "Strange! That person, he looks so much like his wife, yet he isn’t the least bit curious, as if he hasn’t seen it at all."

"Lingling, matters that aren’t ours to question, or things we shouldn’t meddle with, leave them be," the elderly man cautioned Lingling, gently shaking his head.

Lingling nodded, yet the confusion in her eyes didn’t vanish.

...

Mu Qingge had just returned to her room with Tong Teng still excitedly describing his initial impression of the Demon Clan’s people when the door was knocked upon.

Tong Teng went to open it, revealing Yu Qi standing outside.

Yu Qi nodded respectfully to Mu Qingge, "Third Young Master, Eldest Young Master requests your presence, there’s matters to discuss. Seventh Young Master and Tenth Young Master are already there as well."

Mu Qingge nodded, bringing Tong Teng along to follow Yu Qi to Li Chao’s room.

Inside Li Chao’s room, it was indeed filled with people, every face showing traces of solemnity.

Seeing Mu Qingge and Tong Teng arrive, Li Chao spoke: "Calling you over was to discuss tomorrow’s affair. Today, those Demon Clan individuals, I reckon aren’t simple folk. For the Demon Clan to dispatch such characters signifies one thing, that impending Exotic Treasure is very significant to the Demon Clan. They are bent on obtaining it!"

Li Chao’s analysis had Xuan Qiang and Zhuang Shan nodding repeatedly.

Only Mu Qingge was internally speechless. Of course, she understood why Si Mo personally came. Unexpectedly, it led to such misunderstanding.

Yet, at this moment she couldn’t rebut, merely holding her silence.

"Eldest Young Master, what should we do?" Zhuang Shan asked.

With that question, all eyes settled on Li Chao. Li Chao paced a few steps in the room before stating: "Upon arrival, the Divine Emperor instructed, if the treasure is valuable, seize it. Though what treasure it is remains unclear, since it’s important to the Demon Clan, our Divine Clan and the Demon Clan are longstanding enemies, we cannot let this Exotic Treasure fall into Demon Clan hands."

"Well said," Xuan Qiang nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Shan furrowed his brow, "However, should we forcefully compete, I fear our strength isn’t sufficient..." He glanced around the room, making the unspoken sentiment evident.

After leaving Li Chao’s room, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but exhale a breath of turbid air.

"Boss, are you angry?" Tong Teng followed her out and asked cautiously.

Angry?

Not really!

Mu Qingge shook her head with a small smile and said, "There’s more to fuss about tomorrow, better go back early and rest."

Tong Teng nodded and didn’t ask further.

That night, in the four rooms of the Divine Clan, the lights flickered softly and silently.

Suddenly, the entire Gugu Tribe seemed to be frozen in time, everything remained still, even the flickering angles of the lights stopped.

A thin layer of demonic Qi enveloped the sky.

A tall, dark silhouette abruptly appeared outside Mu Qingge’s room. He raised his hand, his sleeve falling as his defined, slender fingers pressed against the door, easily pushing it open.

He walked in, his amber eyes immediately catching sight of the vividly bright red attire. His lips, faintly dyed in cherry blossom pink, gently curved into a soft arc. He walked to her side, bent down, and embraced his beloved tightly in his arms.

In his embrace, the incomparably beautiful face, indistinguishable between men and women, still held a thoughtful expression.

He lowered his head, his cool lips gently touching her brow.

Mu Qingge blinked her eyes, her body regained normalcy. Nestled in the man’s embrace, she smiled helplessly, her clear eyes carrying a hint of indulgence. "You’re really bold."

I missed you terribly. You didn’t come to see me, so I had to come see you," Si Mo said, feeling aggrieved.

Mu Qingge looked around from his arms and searched for Tong Teng’s figure.

"Don’t worry, I’ve only temporarily frozen this area. They’ll continue their paths and won’t notice when they wake up," Si Mo explained.

Mu Qingge nodded.

At this moment, Si Mo’s face suddenly edged closer, startling her into asking instinctively, "What are you doing?"

"I want...you."
