Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 991: Chapter 76: Mu Tianyin’s Scheme

Mu Tianyin and Mu Lin entered the Immortal Dew Pavilion; they went straight upstairs, avoiding the courtyard atrium.

At this moment, Mu Qingge and Yin Chen had no idea about the appearance of their enemies below them.

”Qingge, should we pay a visit to inquire about the whereabouts of the Princess Chu Nian?” Yin Chen asked. Since Mu Qingge intended to gather information, he naturally needed to find a way for them to meet.

However, Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, ”No hurry, let’s wait a bit.”

”Wait?” Yin Chen frowned, not quite understanding what there was to wait for.

Mu Qingge answered nonchalantly, her gaze falling on the maid playing the zither on stage. With a slight smile, she said, ”This tune is quite good; listening to it is beneficial too.”

Yin Chen was somewhat baffled; he didn’t quite grasp Mu Qingge’s intention, but since she said there was no rush, there was indeed no rush.

...

Upon entering, Mu Tianyin and Mu Lin did not look for a place to sit but rather started searching for the whereabouts of Princess Chu Nian.

After several searches turned up nothing, they headed to the third floor and cornered a Divine waiter who had just exited a room.

”Speak, which room is Princess Chu Nian in?” Mu Lin pressed his elbow against the waiter’s neck, pinning him to the wall with a cold and stern question.

Mu Tianyin stood with his hands behind his back, watching everything coldly.

A pair of cold and fierce eyes stared from behind, and Mu Lin’s gaze briefly lowered before resuming its normal course, continuing to interrogate the hostage.

”I... I don’t know,” the held Divine being exclaimed in terror.

He was just an ordinary mortal, though he could cultivate, he was just a handyman in Wuhua City. How high could his cultivation really be?

He probably never imagined that he would encounter such unwarranted disaster while working in the shop.

”You don’t know or you don’t want to say!” Mu Lin’s voice sharpened further.

”I... I...” The captive Divine being looked flustered, his eyes constantly flickering.

Mu Lin warned, ”Is your life more important, or someone else’s life more important? Moreover, we mean no harm to Princess Chu Nian; we simply wish to pay a respectful visit.”

His explanation allowed the Divine being to relax slightly. Just as he thought the imposing young master standing behind Mu Lin might be an admirer of Princess Chu Nian, Mu Tianyin’s cold words startled him once more.

”Why waste time with him? If he won’t speak, then just kill him. This Immortal Dew Pavilion isn’t that large; since the person is inside, how could we not find her?”

The single sentence made the Divine being hold his breath, looking at him in utter horror.

Mu Lin’s gaze flickered, displaying a ferocious expression, and he threatened once more, ”Speak quickly!”

”I... I’ll talk!” Finally, the Divine being conceded, raising his hand to point at one of the tightly closed doors, saying to the two men, ”It’s... it’s in there...”

Mu Lin turned his gaze in that direction, and at that moment, the killing intent radiated from Mu Tianyin once again surged.

Seeing his intention to kill and silence, Mu Lin quickly advised, ”Young Master, you mustn’t!”

Mu Tianyin’s cold and cruel eyes moved lightly to Mu Lin.

Enduring the discomfort, Mu Lin gritted his teeth, saying, ”Young Master, if you kill him, it will bring a lot of trouble. The Immortal Dew Pavilion is very famous in Wuhua City; if it’s discovered that one of their people has died inexplicably in the shop, it will certainly attract the attention of others and increase the threat to us. So, he cannot die.”

”Oh? He has already seen our faces; if we let him go, he will certainly attract others, and we will be exposed. What do you suggest we do?” Mu Tianyin narrowed his eyes, his breath laden with danger.

The held Divine being did not dare to make a sound, holding his breath while listening to the two’s conversation, helplessly awaiting the decision of his fate by others.

”We can erase his memory,” Mu Lin quickly suggested.

Erasing memory was better than dying; the kidnapped man hastily nodded, his eyes filled with hope.

Mu Tianyin’s eyes were somber, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking. Mu Lin was also anxiously waiting for his decision.

It’s not that he was kind-hearted, but that he didn’t see the necessity of continuous slaughter like this.

Moreover, what he said was true; if they killed someone in the Immortal Dew Pavilion, their subsequent actions would likely become difficult.

”Young Master,” Mu Lin said again.

Mu Tianyin lifted his hand to cut him off, his gloved fingers, woven with fine metallic threads, moved slightly, and a strand of Divine Power directly shot into the man’s mind.

The man’s body froze, his eyes turned vacant, foaming from the mouth, and he collapsed limply.

Mu Lin was shocked to witness this scene.

Mu Tianyin, however, said indifferently, ”Turning him into an idiot is the same thing.”

After speaking, he turned around and slowly walked toward the room the person had pointed to earlier, his back exuding confidence yet also an air of malice.

Mu Lin stood in place, looking at Mu Tianyin’s back, then at the person lying on the ground.

’The same?’ he asked himself.

Even after losing memory, this person could continue cultivation and life as usual. But to turn him into an idiot, it meant he would become a foolish, dumb person from now on, unable to live normally again, which was simply more painful than killing him.

”Aren’t you going to catch up?” Mu Tianyin’s cold words came from ahead.

Mu Lin sighed, had to gather his thoughts, and quickly followed. When he caught up to Mu Tianyin, he was already standing outside the door.

Inside the door was Chu Nian, the princess of the Wuhua Domain.

Mu Tianyin’s gloomy eyes stared at the tightly shut door, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

”Young Master, this method...” Mu Lin frowned, somewhat hesitant. Mu Tianyin wanted to use Chu Nian to get close to the Wuhua Palace and the Wuhua God Emperor, extracting information about the Divine Strategy Lower Volume.

However, in just a few days, how could one win Chu Nian’s heart? Even to the point of making her willing to help Mu Tianyin?

”Is it Princess Chu Nian inside?” But before Mu Lin could finish, Mu Tianyin had already spoken. This time, his words lacked the gloomy aura, sounding somewhat more comfortable.

”Who’s outside?” came the maid’s questioning from within. The voice was somewhat strict, seemingly displeased about her whereabouts being leaked.

Such a tone made Mu Tianyin’s expression colder, but he still restrained himself and spoke again: ”I have long heard of Princess Chu Nian’s reputation. Today, within the Immortal Dew Pavilion, I happened to hear that the princess was here, so I specifically came to see her. I am no prodigy from the Divine Domain, merely an unknown person.”

When he said this last sentence, although his words were humble, there was a kind of arrogance in his tone and expression.

Inside, there was silence for a while.

After a short moment, there was some movement. The closed door was opened, revealing the silhouette of a maid. The maid was tall, curvaceous, and very outstanding. Mu Tianyin couldn’t help but let his gaze linger on her for a few moments before slowly looking at her face. However, when he saw her face, he slightly frowned.

This maid was veiled, showing only a pair of clear, autumn water-like phoenix eyes that could make one feel entranced. Above those phoenix eyes were two elegant eyebrows that looked like distant mountains, exquisite and beautiful.

Being scrutinized by Mu Tianyin, she slowly lowered her eyes, her long lashes concealing the emotions within them.

”It’s inconvenient for Princess Chu Nian to see outsiders, please speak through the door,” she said, lowering her gaze, stepping aside, revealing the faint outline of someone inside.

Mu Tianyin stood outside the door but did not force his way in.

Instead, he slowly shifted his lingering gaze from her body to the faintly visible silhouette behind the screen. He smiled lightly, ”It seems that Princess Chu Nian does not wish to see me.”

His features were handsome, with a certain rugged charm. He wasn’t an impeccable beauty but still quite attractive. At this moment, he intentionally toned down the gloom in his gaze, seemingly restoring some of his former allure.

He originally thought that with such an appearance, Princess Chu Nian would feel he was a dragon among men and converse with him. Then, through conversation, slowly build a rapport to achieve his goal.

However, he didn’t expect Chu Nian to watch him from behind the screen.

Mu Tianyin’s gaze wavered a bit, and then suddenly changed his previously stern tone, proactively apologizing: ”Indeed, it was rude of me to come uninvited; the fact that the princess is willing to converse with me is already a great kindness.”

After speaking, his peripheral vision subtly swept over the maid standing at the side of the door.

The maid seemed to notice, lowered her gaze, and said: ”What does the young master wish to say? Please, speak.”

Mu Tianyin looked at her, revealing a faint smile. ”I’ve come here audaciously, admiring the princess’s virtue, without any ulterior motives. It is understandable that the princess does not wish to meet plainly. However, the princess’s maid intrigues me greatly, distinct from ordinary women, capturing my heart at first sight. I am unmarried, without any concubines at home. Today, I boldly request the princess to betroth this maid to me, a kindness I will never forget.”

These words shocked not only Mu Lin, who knew his plan, but also the veiled maid, and even Princess Chu Nian, who had not spoken all along, stood up in excitement, her voice slightly trembling, and said: ”No way!”

Her reaction made Mu Tianyin’s mouth curl upward. In the depths of his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashed past.

The smile at his lips was caught by the veiled maid.

In those captivating phoenix eyes, not a ripple was visible. She slowly raised her hand, letting her sleeve fall, revealing a section of her skin smooth as jade. Her slender fingers gently pulled away the veil from her face.

Her soft, boneless arms, along with the unique grace in her every movement, had already captivated Mu Tianyin’s attention.

Yet, when the veil was pulled away, revealing her face, Mu Tianyin’s calculating eyes immediately lost their scheming light, leaving only amazement.

He thought those eyes were already exceptionally beautiful.

But now, paired with her nose and lips, it made one feel she was an unsurpassed beauty of heaven and earth.

Her beauty was calm, like an orchid in a secluded valley, transcending the ordinary, standing apart from the world. It was a beauty without any aggression, a beauty so comfortable that one was reluctant to look away.

This wasn’t a beauty that shook one’s soul, but it reached straight to the heart.

For a moment, Mu Tianyin even forgot his purpose, genuinely wanting to marry the woman before him.

Such a celestial beauty, actually a maid? Mu Lin was astounded.

At this moment, the maid spoke, ”Why did you discover my real identity?”
