Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 940: Chapter 25: Rapid Progress

Xuan Ying’s words rendered Mu Qingge quite helpless.

She originally wanted to avoid trouble, yet unexpectedly attracted more of it.

”What’s going on here?” At this moment, Xuan Qiang stepped forward, her gaze coldly sweeping back and forth between her sister and Mu Qingge.

What surprised Mu Qingge was that the way Xuan Qiang looked at her appeared as though she did not recognize her at all.

This made Mu Qingge confused again; this cold-as-ice woman before her was clearly the one she had seen by the Deep Pool, where they had exchanged a few words. How could she not remember after just two days?

’Could it be their family has an identical twin?’ Mu Qingge couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.

Of course, now was not the time to delve into this.

Mu Qingge spoke up, ”Yesterday’s incident was just a misunderstanding. It was out of courtesy that I addressed you as my senior sister, but I don’t understand why it led to such a misunderstanding, ma’am.”

She needed to first clarify her relationship with Xuan Ying.

Otherwise, something as pure as snow could be painted wildly, filled with all sorts of colors.

”Why would you say this?” Xuan Ying stomped in dissatisfaction.

By now, their small group had attracted a considerable crowd of onlookers.

Especially since they were all disciples of the Huan Yue Domain, each one had a celestial presence that people admired and envied.

Mu Qingge laughed and said, ”The truth is exactly this. Calling you my senior sister after encountering you doesn’t automatically imply interest. Or else, I’d supposedly be interested in all the female disciples of the Huan Yue Domain? Apologies, I’ve never had such thoughts, I explained this during yesterday’s misunderstanding, but you chose not to heed it, madam.”

”So that’s the situation!” Tong Teng nodded in sudden realization.

After listening for a while, he roughly grasped what happened. It turned out some lady was clinging to their boss!

”I say, senior sister, could it be that you fancy our boss’s beauty and intentionally slandered him to grab the opportunity and get close?” Tong Teng said mercilessly.

”What nonsense are you spouting! Clearly, he fancied me!” Xuan Ying retorted angrily.

”Enough!” Xuan Qiang interrupted the squabble with a cold shout.

Xuan Ying pouted and glared at Tong Teng in dissatisfaction, but didn’t dare to defy her sister. She remained silent.

Tong Teng, on the other hand, stood proudly by Mu Qingge, occasionally raising his eyebrows in provocation at Xuan Ying.

”I know the situation, now leave.” Xuan Qiang said to Mu Qingge with a nonchalant expression.

Her lofty attitude displeased Tong Teng.

However, Mu Qingge nodded and indicated to Tong Teng with a look, then turned and left.

The two of them quickly walked away. Xuan Ying watched Mu Qingge’s departing figure with an unwilling heart.

She only inquired angrily once he was out of sight, ”Sister, why did you just let him leave like that! I still wanted to ask his name!”

”Aren’t you embarrassed enough?” Xuan Qiang looked at her with reproach in her eyes.

Xuan Ying bit her lip, lowered her head, and her arrogance deflated considerably.

Xuan Qiang continued, ”I understand your nature well, normally you can make a fuss in the Upper City. For my sake, everyone is willing to indulge you to some extent. But now you want to disgrace yourself in the Lower City?”

”I didn’t!” Xuan Ying muttered in an attempt to refute.

Xuan Qiang shook her head, ”That person clearly had no such intention, yet you insisted on pestering him, claiming it’s not embarrassing.”

”He doesn’t like me, but can’t I like him? Besides, I had no intentions, just wanted to know his name,” Xuan Ying retorted.

”What is the point of knowing his name?” Xuan Qiang asked impatiently.

Suddenly, Xuan Ying raised her eyes to look at Xu Bing, who had remained silent, and asked, ”Xu Bing, you must know him, right? I clearly saw him looking over at you just now!”

Her words made Xuan Qiang turn around, her cold and merciless gaze falling on Xu Bing.

Xu Bing paused, then immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists, speaking exceptionally reverently to Xuan Qiang, ”I wouldn’t dare hide anything; I do indeed know him. He ascended on the same day as I did from the Ascension Platform, guided by Senior Brother Zhuang Shan into the small divine realm. However, he seemed to leave the small divine realm quite late, only a few days ago did he pass the exam and entered the Huan Yue Domain.”

”Only recently took the exam...” Xuan Qiang murmured as her eyes flickered. Suddenly, her gaze sharpened and she asked, ”What is his name?”

Xu Bing raised his head in surprise, seemingly curious that Xuan Qiang would actively ask for a man’s name.

Xuan Ying was equally surprised and directly opened his mouth to ask, ”Sister, are you also fond of him?”

Unexpectedly, his words drew a fierce glare from Xuan Qiang. ”Shut up! I cultivate the Supreme Forget Love Path, and I won’t develop feelings for anyone. If I do, it will cause backlash. Are you cursing me, hoping that I die?”

Xuan Ying was so frightened he shrank his neck and dared not say more.

After reprimanding Xuan Ying, Xuan Qiang explained lightly, ”A few days ago, an abnormal phenomenon occurred in the domain, attracting the attention of the Divine Emperor.” She said, her gaze lightly shifting to Xu Bing.

Xu Bing quickly said, ”His name is Mu Qingge.”

”Mu?” Xuan Qiang slightly squinted her eyes. Her gaze flickered for a moment, then she looked at Xuan Ying warningly, ”From now on, you mustn’t seek him out or have any dealings with him. If you dare not comply, I will personally cripple your legs and chain you in my palace.”

”Why is that?” Xuan Ying asked discontentedly.

Xuan Qiang took a deep breath, eyes narrowed, and replied faintly, ”Because his surname is a taboo in the Four Seas Divine Land.”

Her answer left Xuan Ying startled, and Xu Bing’s eyes also slightly contracted.

...

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge and Tong Teng had already walked far along with the crowd.

Tong Teng asked puzzled, ”Boss, that woman is crazy and wants to cling to you. Why didn’t you let me teach her a lesson?”

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, ”No need to provoke trouble.” She had come to the Huan Yue Domain for cultivation; other matters were irrelevant to her. For now, the most important goal was to enhance her cultivation, break through to the Spirit Cave Realm soon, challenge the top ten disciples, and obtain that identity to facilitate her movements across the Divine Lands.

Moreover, she had another purpose!

That was to attract Mu Tianyin!

The Divine Land is too vast; she had no one at her disposal now and couldn’t keep waiting for intelligence from Si Mo’s side. She didn’t know which Divine Land Mu Tianyin was in or how he was doing. So she could only make her name resound in the East Divine Land to draw Mu Tianyin to her.

Then, they could resolve this grudge that had waited for years!

”What if she continues to pester you in the future?” Tong Teng asked.

Mu Qingge replied indifferently, ”If avoidance becomes impossible, I will report this to Brother Zhuang Shan. In this Huan Yue Domain, there must be someone who can exercise control.”

With that said, she didn’t continue the topic. After wandering with Tong Teng for a while, she found a restaurant, bought ready food, and returned to her cave in the Upper City.

The wine was stolen by Tong Teng from Su Ming’s wine cellar when they left Tianya Residence.

Looking at the table, which held not only purchased food and stolen fine wine but also a pile of nuts, Mu Qingge finally asked a question she had wondered about for a long time, ”How many nuts did you bring from the Lower Realm? How much do you love nuts?”

Tong Teng chuckled, ”I didn’t count how many I brought. Anyway, there should be enough for me to eat for eighteen hundred years. As for how much I love them...” His carefree smile on his face faded a bit, and he told Mu Qingge, ”When I was young, I was cast out into the forest to fend for myself. It was nuts that saved my life and stopped me from starving. Everyone says eating the same food for many years will make one sick of it. But I feel the longer I eat, the more I love the taste of nuts. When I ascended, I brought nothing but nuts.”

On that day, Mu Qingge and Tong Teng did not go to the Cultivation Technique Building, wandering idly for half a day and eating and drinking for the other half. At night, Mu Qingge sent the drunken Tong Teng back to his own cave, cleaned the smell of alcohol off herself, and went to the mountain peak cottage.

In the following period, Mu Qingge did not encounter Xuan Ying again, spending her days at the Cultivation Technique Building and nights at the mountain peak cottage, cultivating under the guidance of a mysterious elder. The days passed peacefully and comfortably.

During this time, Zhuang Shan, as he had said, came every ten days to inspect their cultivation progress, expressing delight at Tong Teng’s advancement. He also did not notice that Mu Qingge was training in a technique other than his own.

In fact, from the outside, this divine power cultivation method appeared no different.

Unknowingly, Mu Qingge had been reporting to the mountain peak cottage every night for a month and a half, training until dawn before returning the same route.

Except for cultivation matters, she said nothing else with the elder who watched the lamp.

Therefore, she still did not know who this suddenly appearing elder, helping her with cultivation, was or what position he held in the Huan Yue Domain.

”Hmm, not bad, really not bad.” The elder who watched the lamp looked at Mu Qingge as she had just finished her cultivation, his brows carrying a hint of smile.

Mu Qingge expelled a breath of turbid air and, as usual, respectfully greeted the elder who watched the lamp. Then she said, ”Recently, I have already touched the barrier, yet I want to try further compressing divine power to observe the effect upon breakthrough.”

”Your progress truly surprises me. Although the realms within the Divine Demon Continent number only three, each one divided by nine minor realms, advancing between each minor realm is not easy, and the difficulty increases the further upward you go. Typically, those with better talent require at least one to two years to break from the seventh to the eighth layer of the Spirit Void Realm. You’ve been cultivating for only a month and a half, and you’ve already touched the barrier. Your speed is tenfold that of ordinary people!” The elder who watched the lamp marveled.

The more he interacted with Mu Qingge, the more he liked her, feeling that this child was not just talented but also intelligent and resilient. She did not become arrogant due to her talent, instead worked very diligently.

A genius who remains humble and exerts exceptional effort, that’s truly frightening!
