Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 692: Chapter 127: The Sang Family Arrives (Second Update)

Si Mo’s comings and goings are always without a trace.

Without disturbing anyone, he had quietly left.

Mu Qingge woke up from her dreams, reached out to touch the spot next to her, only to find it empty. Upon opening her eyes, a hint of regret emerged in her clear gaze. ”I haven’t even shown you the current Luoxing City properly,” Mu Qingge muttered.

”Young Master, news has come from the front, the people from the Sang Family will arrive in another hour,” You He’s voice came from outside the door.

Mu Qingge propped herself up on the bed with her hands and said to You He outside the door, ”Got it. Prepare water for me, I want to bathe.”

”Yes.”

Footsteps gradually faded away.

It was only then Mu Qingge turned her gaze to the corner of the room, to that colorful fate.

Seeing this fate, the conversation with Si Mo from last night... no, it should be early morning, floated in Mu Qingge’s mind, and a sweet smile involuntarily appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Raising her hand in a beckoning gesture, the still-sleeping fate was absorbed by her into the space.

Composing her mind, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, suddenly discovering an extra brocade box on the bed.

’What’s this?’ Mu Qingge’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she took the brocade box in her hand, just opening the lid a crack.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out from the brocade box, causing Mu Qingge’s eyes to narrow and jump in fright, caught off guard.

Immediately after, an illusory figure fell to the ground, transforming into Si Mo’s appearance.

”Little Ge’er...”

”Ah Mo!” Seeing the illusory figure speak, Mu Qingge was shocked.

The illusory Si Mo, with a gentle smile in his amber eyes, looked at Mu Qingge and said, ”I was busy basking in your company last night, almost forgot the business. Fortunately, as I was leaving, I suddenly remembered. In this box is the second gift I wanted to bring you, to celebrate your city’s opening. Open it, and you will know what it is.”

Following his words, Mu Qingge opened it. Inside the brocade box lay a small crimson flower like a silkworm cocoon, its roots smooth, crystal clear.

”Blood Cocoon Flower!” Mu Qingge exclaimed joyfully.

Blood Cocoon Flower! Blood Cocoon Flower! Along with the Fire Feather Ganoderma she obtained in Cold Inch before, the medicinal materials needed to revive Mu Liancheng lacked only one more, the Divine Demon Blood!

This grand gift, indeed, was deeply aligned with her thoughts given by Si Mo.

A captivating smile rose on Mu Qingge’s lips, she put away the brocade box, looked at Si Mo’s illusory image, and whispered, ”Ah Mo, thank you.”

Seemingly anticipating that Mu Qingge would thank him, as soon as her words fell, Si Mo immediately said, ”I told you, there is no need for thanks between you and me. I must leave now, I will come to see you when I can. During the time I’m away, take care of yourself for me. Promise me, don’t get hurt again, if you encounter something you can’t handle, don’t force it, you still have me. The communication talismans I gave you, they aren’t just for sending messages to Linchuan, but also to me.”

Gradually, Si Mo’s figure became fainter, finally transforming into a strand of black hair that slowly fell from midair.

Mu Qingge raised her hand to catch it, the strand of long hair fell into her palm, still carrying Si Mo’s unique exotic fragrance.

Not wanting to casually discard something belonging to Si Mo, Mu Qingge specifically found a brocade bag and placed the strand inside, carefully keeping it.

Just as she put the brocade bag away, an odd and imaginative thought crossed her mind, ’If he pulls out a strand of hair every time he leaves a message, won’t he soon be bald?’

After murmuring, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her own thought.

The laughter echoed outside the door, giving You He, who had just prepared the bathwater, a start. She wondered why Mu Qingge suddenly seemed so delighted.

”Since returning from Cold Inch, I haven’t heard the Young Master laugh like this,” You He shook her head with a touch of distress.

Mu Qingge stood up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside. Her expression suddenly showed a hint of astonishment, ”Is the sun really setting?”

Does that mean, I’ve slept the entire day?!

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely.

”Young Master, the bathwater is ready.” You He’s voice came from outside the door.

Mu Qingge sighed, ”I was puzzled before, wondering why the people from the Sang Family arrived so early, only to find out it was already sunset.”

After Mu Qingge finished bathing and snacked to satisfy her hunger, news came from the city gate guards that the people from the Sang Family were already at the city gates.

Mu Qingge then took You He and Hua Yue, the two maids, to welcome them at the city gate.

”Grandfather, Third Elder.” Seeing King Sang Shun and the Third Elder leading the group, Mu Qingge smiled.

Following behind them, besides some of the Sang Family’s stewards, were the younger generation of the Sang Family. It seemed that King Sang Shun intended to take this opportunity to let them see the world.

Mu Qingge quickly scanned the crowd and, besides spotting Mu Xuewu, also saw Sang Zilan and Sang Ye among others. There was another person whom she had met once but never interacted with.

Mu Qingge’s gaze finally returned from Sang Xuezhi.

”Ge’er, this place of yours is indeed quite remarkable!” King Sang Shun, having walked all the way from the city gate, sincerely praised after seeing the scenes within Luoxing City.

”Big Brother.” Mu Xuewu also said joyfully.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said to them, ”If you like it, you can stay a few more days. In the future, weapons refined by the Sang Clan will only be sold in Luoxing City, and there will be plenty of opportunities to come over.”

King Sang Shun nodded his head.

”Let’s talk inside first, the mansion has already prepared an evening meal. Everyone can rest for a while and then enjoy a feast.” Mu Qingge invited everyone into the castle.

The saying goes ’Guests follow the host’s lead.’ Since they were guests, King Sang Shun and the others naturally had to follow Mu Qingge’s arrangements.

The members of the Sang Family entered the City Lord Mansion one by one.

When the High Priest who came with the Sang Family passed by Mu Qingge, he respectfully saluted her, ”Young Master.”

Mu Qingge nodded slightly and said to him, ”It’s been a hard journey for you. You can stay here in the future and save the trouble of constant travel.”

”Thank you, Young Master.” The High Priest thanked and then went inside with the others.

Mu Qingge turned and walked away. As she passed by Mu Xuewu, she said to her, ”I’ve arranged your room in the City Lord Mansion. You He will take you there later.”

After saying this, she walked towards King Sang Shun, momentarily leaving Mu Xuewu in a daze.

When Mu Qingge reached King Sang Shun’s side, she said to him, ”Grandfather, since the Sang Family and Luoxing City will have a cooperative relationship in the future, for convenience, I’ve specially set aside an uninhabited mansion as a fixed residence for the Sang Clan in Luoxing City. What do you think?”

King Sang Shun looked at her, smiled and said, ”Why would you need to ask me for something you’ve decided? Just proceed with your plan.”

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and nodded her head.

That evening, Mu Qingge hosted a banquet in the City Lord Mansion to entertain the members of the Sang Family who had arrived.

Because the Sang Family’s Holy Artifact appreciation meeting would also be held in Luoxing City, there were many details that needed to be discussed with Mu Qingge. After the banquet dispersed, King Sang Shun went to Mu Qingge’s study, brewed a pot of sobering tea, and the two slowly began to talk.

”Although the invitations were sent out in the name of the Sang Clan and Luoxing City, since everything is happening in one place and is related to you, I suggest we merge the events together,” King Sang Shun said after taking a sip of tea and putting down the cup.

Mu Qingge nodded, understanding King Sang Shun’s intention and having the same thought. ”That’s exactly what I was planning. The invited guests from both sides aren’t significantly different, so we can handle it all at once without splitting it into two events. At that time, we can set up a banquet in the City Lord Mansion, announce the establishment of Luoxing City, and let everyone see the Holy Artifacts.”

”Yes, this is much more convenient. However, the Sang Clan needs a place tomorrow for a weapon exhibition. I’ve brought over a hundred weapons this time, two of which are Divine Level Weapons, and the rest are Treasure Level Weapons. If anyone takes a liking, they can buy and sell on the spot. Moreover, the Sang Clan hasn’t been in the spotlight for quite some time, so it’s also beneficial to let the outside world know that the artifacts we refine are still the best of the era. We might also secure some large orders,” King Sang Shun shared his thoughts.

Mu Qingge agreed, saying, ”Luoxing City has reserved shops for the Sang Family’s use. This exhibition can be held there. Additionally, those two Divine Level Weapons can be displayed but not sold. Let them take a look, pique their interest, and we can auction them during the initial auction in the Auction House.”

”The Auction House?” King Sang Shun was surprised.

Mu Qingge explained, ”Luoxing City’s Auction House will host regular auctions, mainly focusing on selling the Sang Clan’s weapons and Elixirs above the Treasure Level.”

King Sang Shun’s eyes lit up, immediately understanding Mu Qingge’s strategy. He pointed at Mu Qingge and laughed, ”You little fox.”

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and continued, ”Additionally, apart from the exhibition, you can select a few disciples skilled in Artifact Refining to conduct a public demonstration. Let others see how the Sang Clan refines artifacts. The weapons made, if they’re willing to sell, can be auctioned on the spot, going to the highest bidder.”

King Sang Shun laughed heartily, clearly very satisfied with Mu Qingge. ”Ge’er, how did your mind develop this way? Never mind your cultivation talent, even in commerce, you seem to excel.”

Mu Qingge smiled and shook her head, ”I don’t understand much about commerce; it’s just that after seeing a lot, I’m naturally aware of some things. I know how to apply principles when needed.”

Her smile was light, and her demeanor was calm and uninhibited, with none of the pride and complacency that often follows praise.

This made King Sang Shun nod in approval once again.

After finishing their discussion, King Sang Shun left the City Lord Mansion and made his way to the mansion Mu Qingge had arranged for the Sang Clan. Mu Qingge stood by the window, watching his silhouette leave.

It happened to be the time when the Starlight descended.

When the starlight fell from the sky like rain, creating a wondrous scene, Mu Qingge saw King Sang Shun standing still, dumbfounded and astonished.

Her lips curved up gently as she murmured, ”In a few days, more people will witness the beauty of Luoxing City, and this place will become a dazzling city.”

The next day, everything began to be arranged in full swing...
