Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 730: Chapter 165: You Dare Fall for the Goddess? (Part 1)

”What are you planning?” Ying Ze glanced at him from the corner of his eye, even raising his eyebrows slightly.

Ji Yaohua rubbed his chin, his eyes narrowing to slits. ”I want to go and find out!”

”Find out what?” Ying Ze frowned.

He couldn’t understand why Ji Yaohua was so concerned about whether Mu Qingge had a sweetheart, and if that sweetheart was Xi Qianxue. What did it have to do with Ji Yaohua? Why was he so enthusiastic?

Ji Yaohua sighed, shaking his head as he said, ”I’m worried about Qingge! If the person he likes isn’t the Goddess Xi, then that’s fine. The few of us brothers can propose marriage for him. With our status, it would give the lady face, wouldn’t it? Besides, being fancied by Qingge is already her honor. But if the person Qingge likes really is the Goddess Xi, then things get complicated.”

”...” Ying Ze was rendered speechless by his words.

Complicated? How is it complicated!

Ying Ze, though not adept at expressing inner emotions, understood clearly.

The identity of Goddess Xi was clear, she could never marry, and there could be no good outcome between her and Mu Qingge.

”What are you planning now?” Ying Ze looked at Ji Yaohua and asked.

With a frown, Ji Yaohua replied seriously, ”I’m considering strategies! If Qingge really likes the Goddess Xi, how we can help him!”

”Help?” Ying Ze’s eyes flashed, catching the profound meaning in Ji Yaohua’s use of the word ’help’.

Ji Yaohua chuckled and said to Ying Ze, ”What do you think, if we make the two of them cross the line, would the Xi Family and Divine Hall grudgingly acknowledge the marriage?”

Ying Ze’s mouth twitched, looking at him coldly, ”Do you want to send Mu Qingge to his death? Would the Divine Hall and Xi Family swallow this silently? More likely, they would unite to kill Mu Qingge!”

Ji Yaohua’s rotten idea was something he couldn’t agree with.

Ji Yaohua nodded, ”I think so too, so there are only two options left.” He extended two fingers.

”What two options?” Ying Ze raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued by Ji Yaohua.

Ji Yaohua eyed the two people walking ahead, saying gravely, ”The first option is to stage a fake death for them here, allowing them to disappear without a trace, then they can live like Immortals!”

This idea wasn’t bad!

Ying Ze inwardly approved.

”However...” Ji Yaohua frowned, ”Although this option is low-risk, it’s too cowardly and doesn’t suit Qingge’s flamboyant personality. I reckon he wouldn’t agree.”

”And then...” Ying Ze asked.

Ji Yaohua grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, ”Then, the last option is, we brothers accompany Qingge to storm the Xi Family and Divine Hall, and snatch the Goddess Xi back to Luoxing City to be Qingge’s wife! Wahaha—! How about it, isn’t this method magnificent? It could be admired for generations!” Ji Yaohua laughed smugly.

His laughter made Mu Qingge and Xi Qianxue, who were walking ahead, stop and turn to look at the two behind them, with expressions of bewilderment.

However, the distance between the four was somewhat far, and the fog of the Ancient Battlefield had a sensory blocking effect, so they didn’t know what Ji Yaohua was laughing about.

They just thought he suddenly seemed like a madman, laughing out loud.

”Should we go over and see?” Xi Qianxue asked Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge stared at Ji Yaohua, nodding almost imperceptibly.

”Are you sure you aren’t planning to court death?” Ying Ze looked at Ji Yaohua’s smug expression and silently poured cold water on his idea.

The Ji Clan and Ying Clan, although ancient and deep-rooted, couldn’t rival the Divine Hall. Besides, if, as Ji Yaohua said, they storm Central Continent to help Mu Qingge snatch a bride, they couldn’t represent their families, only rely on their own capabilities.

So, just the three of them to snatch someone?

In Ying Ze’s eyes, this was virtually courting death.

However, Ji Yaohua didn’t see it that way. Ying Ze’s words didn’t deter him, and he said, ”It’s up to people to make things happen. Without trying with all one’s might, how could Qingge rest content? At worst, we’d die gloriously with him. After all, I’ve never heard of someone daring to challenge the Divine Hall.”

After speaking, he looked at Ying Ze and added, ”I am definitely on the same front as Qingge. As for you, I know family weighs heavily on your heart, and you hold a heavy responsibility, so if you can’t join us, supporting in spirit is enough.”

”I am not one who fears death.” Ying Ze replied coldly.

Ji Yaohua chuckled, ”Brother, I have faith in you! But, it’s too early to talk about these things. I need to find a chance to ask Qingge about his plans first.” Ji Yaohua made a decision in his heart.

By this time, Mu Qingge and Xi Qianxue were already close by, catching him in a serious demeanor.

Involuntarily, she curiously asked, ”What are you guys discussing?”

Ying Ze glanced at the two of them and said nothing. Ji Yaohua quickly hid his demeanor, grinning as he said, ”Nothing much, just chatting. So, did you notice anything walking in front?” He swiftly changed the topic.

Mu Qingge saw he was unwilling to say more and didn’t press further. She simply followed his lead, ”Nothing unusual ahead, Black Stone Mountain, fog... However, those Beast Clan corpses have gone missing.”

When mentioned about the Beast Clan corpses, a strange expression appeared on Ji Yaohua’s face.

Even though those of the Beast Clan had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, stepping on them, using their corpses as a path, still felt eerie.

Ying Ze frowned and said, ”Logically, the closer we get to the Ancient Battlefield, the more corpses there should be. Why are there a large number of Beast Clan corpses at the entrance, but none as we go deeper?”

This is indeed a question, but for now, the answer is elusive.

Because the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield is a deep mystery for the four of them.

”I once read in an ancient text that when this space was sealed, quite a few people and the Beast Clan were still alive.” Suddenly, Xi Qianxue said.

This sentence flickered through the minds of the other three, but they couldn’t catch the thought.

”Let’s keep moving forward for now.” Ji Yaohua said.

Mu Qingge nodded, turned, and continued to walk forward.

At this moment, Ji Yaohua stopped dwelling on Mu Qingge’s emotional matters and instead followed closely, keeping an eye on the surroundings. He could clearly see the scenery where the mist dispersed.

At this time, the land they stepped on was black and hard, and the black soil seemed to have a faint scent of blood, suggesting that the soil became so black due to countless blood soaking and solidifying it.

”It’s so desolate here, not a trace of life to be felt.” After walking for a while, Xi Qianxue said.

Inside, the sky always appeared gray, with no distinction between day and night.

Occasionally, bloody clouds appeared on the horizon, looking extremely bleak.

The most unsettling was the silence surrounding them. The quieter it got, the more vigilant they became.

They felt as if they’d been walking for half a day, or maybe a whole day, their legs heavy, yet the scenery seemed unchanged.

”Let’s find a place to rest and regain some strength.” Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze, both of whom, at that moment, were breathing heavily, their foreheads covered in sweat.

Looking at Xi Qianxue again, she was already seriously injured and unable to harness Spiritual Power, her face pale, cold sweat on her brow, but she bit her lips, unwilling to utter a sound.

Upon hearing her words, Ji Yaohua immediately felt a sense of relief, ”We should’ve rested earlier.”

The four of them moved toward the black mountains, choosing a recessed, sheltered spot.

Ji Yaohua lit a fire, and the crackling sparks finally added a bit of life to the silent space.

”Do you want some water?” Xi Qianxue took out her waterskin, sitting beside Mu Qingge and asked.

Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on the waterskin in her hand and slowly shook his head.

Xi Qianxue showed no sign of disappointment, silently putting away the waterskin.

Ji Yaohua watched for a while, then suddenly stood up and said to Mu Qingge, ”Qingge, come with me for a moment. Nature calls!”

Mu Qingge’s face darkened, and he said sullenly, ”Ask Ying Ze to accompany you.”

Ji Yaohua insisted, ”He’s not in a rush, but I am.”

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, ”I’m not in a rush either.”

”Come on, just accompany me.” Ji Yaohua winked at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge suddenly realized that this rascal had something to say to him and it wasn’t really about nature’s call.

Since it wasn’t that awkward issue, she naturally had no reason to hesitate. She stood up and walked with Ji Yaohua to the back where Ying Ze and Xi Qianxue couldn’t see.

Once they were at a safe distance, Ji Yaohua asked mysteriously, ”Are you really interested in the Goddess Xi?”

Mu Qingge’s cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice, ”No.”

Ji Yaohua didn’t believe him and nudged Mu Qingge’s arm with his elbow, jokingly saying, ”Don’t hide it. Ying Ze and I can tell there’s something unusual between you two.”

”What’s unusual?” Mu Qingge frowned slightly. What Xi Qianxue proposed was not something she’d speak of.

”She relies on you a lot, and you haven’t pushed her away.” Ji Yaohua raised an eyebrow.

”...” Mu Qingge was left speechless.

She couldn’t explain things to Ji Yaohua, but there was nothing improper between her and Xi Qianxue.

”It’s not what you think between us.” After a moment, Mu Qingge said in explanation.

Ji Yaohua thought she was deliberately hiding it and waved it off, ”No need to explain, I get you. Bro, I must say, I admire you. Though I always jest about taking the Goddess Xi as my wife, it’s just lip service, never sincere. But you! You’ve got the guts to ignore the Divine Hall and the Xi Family and win the heart of the Goddess Xi! Don’t worry, bro, I’ve got your back. If you plan to go to the Central Continent and claim her, count me in! Through fire and mountains, I’ll go with you!”

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, thinking to himself: ’You don’t understand a thing!’
