Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 995

Chapter 995: Chapter 80: Wuhua Nine-Curve Maze

Leaving the Divine Emperor Palace, Princess said to Mu Qingge, "Three days from now, my father’s birthday banquet will be held in the Divine Emperor Palace. Since that’s the case, the Little Divine Emperor need not lodge too far away—how about staying nearby?"

Princess’s arrangement suited Mu Qingge’s wishes perfectly. She nodded and said, "Everything shall be as Princess arranges. Princess need not be too courteous with me. On the path of cultivation, Princess is my senior; there is no need to address me as Little Divine Emperor—just call me by my name. If the ’Mu’ sounds awkward, you may simply call me by my given name, Qingge."

Her composure and sincere tone made Princess smile faintly. She nodded. "Very well, I shall respectfully accept."

"That’s for the best." Mu Qingge returned her smile.

Princess led the four of them toward a side hall beneath the Divine Emperor Palace. On the way she introduced to Mu Qingge, "Everything in the hall is complete. If Qingge needs anything extra, you can directly instruct the servants who watch over the palace hall."

"Alright." Mu Qingge nodded again.

Her quietness along the way, even her ’obedience’, instead made Princess grow curious about her.

Originally, she had thought that someone who rose to fame at such a young age, and even achieved so much in such a short span of time, ought to be frivolous and arrogant, eyes above all.

Even if she knew to restrain herself, she would occasionally reveal a bit of that presumptuous, overbearing nature.

Yet Mu Qingge did not. From the very first meeting until now, whether in her conversation with Princess, or in her conversation with Princess’s father, Princess had been silently observing, and truly there was not the slightest trace of it.

She was so calm and indifferent that it was as if the Little Divine Emperor with so many astounding achievements, as described by Princess’s father, were not her at all.

Princess was very curious why the person before her, clearly not of great age, could be so steady.

With such proud accomplishments, yet she was neither arrogant nor impatient, not revealing the slightest hint of complacency.

At the thought of complacency, she could not help thinking of that Young Lord Tianyin she had encountered yesterday in Wuhua City. That man, with a bit of cleverness, after showing off a trick before her, could not help but reveal a look of self-satisfaction.

Even if it was only a thread of pride, fleeting as a flash, she had still caught it.

For such a small scheme, he was already so pleased with himself, thinking he was so remarkable. In this moment, compared with the Little Divine Emperor Mu before her eyes, he was truly far inferior.

In her heart, Princess could not help but shake her head.

The slight goodwill she had accumulated toward Mu Tianyin before now completely dispersed; this person left not the faintest trace in her heart anymore.

"Qingge." After casting Mu Tianyin out of her mind, Princess spoke to Mu Qingge.

"Mm?" Mu Qingge turned her gaze toward her and saw the question in her eyes. "If Princess has anything to ask, please do."

Princess had an excellent impression of her. She pressed her lips into a smile. "You told me not to call you Little Divine Emperor, so why must you call me Princess? Just call me Chu Nian."

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered slightly. She nodded with a smile. "Alright."

"Qingge, I wanted to ask—did you truly climb to the fifty-second layer within the Dao Light?" In Chu Nian’s phoenix eyes there was filled with curiosity, as if she held a strong interest in how Mu Qingge had reached the fifty-second layer.

In truth, the way she put the question was a bit off.

If Mu Qingge had not truly stepped onto the fifty-second layer of the Dao Light steps, how would such rumors have spread, following Huan Yue God Emperor’s decree, throughout the Four Seas Divine Land?

Even the Zhuoyu Divine Emperor, who had originally wanted to cause her trouble, had been forced to lay down his banners and stay silent because of this matter.

For he understood that if he had such a genius in his own hands, he too would protect her with all his power. To tear his face with Huan Yue Domain over a dead man truly was unnecessary.

If Mu Qingge were not the Little Divine Emperor, it would not matter. But once she bore this identity, everything she had done before had to be reconsidered.

This was the reason Zhuoyu Domain had not come to hold her to account for killing Yan Quan, and also something Mu Qingge had not given much thought to.

At this moment, Chu Nian’s question was only because she was too shocked, and could not help confirming once more with Mu Qingge herself.

Mu Qingge smiled and nodded to her. "It was nothing but a stroke of luck."

Having obtained her confirmation, Chu Nian shook her head in quiet admiration and said softly, "This is not something that can be achieved by mere luck. From ancient times to the present, countless people have gone to climb those steps within the Dao Light, yet no one has reached so high."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze toward Mu Qingge, her eyes serious as she said, "Over thousands of years, I have entered the Dao Light seven times. But these seven times, the feeling it gave me was that the higher you go, the harder it becomes."

"You have entered seven times!" Mu Qingge was taken aback.

Chu Nian nodded.

Seeing the faintly astonished look on Mu Qingge’s face, she could not help revealing a smile. "You didn’t think each person only had one chance to enter the Dao Light, did you?"

"..." Mu Qingge was left speechless.

All of a sudden, she recalled what Zhuang Shan had told her—that he had participated in the Four Divine Domains’ Dao Debate more than once. Looking into Chu Nian’s smiling eyes, she understood.

Previously, she had not thought much of it. Now that she considered it carefully, it seemed that she still had the chance to climb those Dao Light steps again.

Ninety-nine layers—last time she had reached the fifty-second. As for the remaining steps, she very much wished to ascend them and see; upon reaching the ninety-ninth layer, what new insights would she gain?
