Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 798: Chapter 233: You’re So Cunning! (Third Update)

"Ge’er, don’t scare me!" A voice, pleasant yet faintly trembling, appeared beside Mu Qingge’s ear from behind.

The familiar embrace stirred a sense of apology in Mu Qingge’s heart.

At this moment, she saw clearly that the people kneeling all over the hall were Demon Guards. Leading them were Gu Ya and Gu Ye. Without asking, she could guess that her sudden disappearance had made Si Mo extremely anxious, prompting him to order the Demon Guards to find her whereabouts.

And Gu Ya and Gu Ye knew about her space, so they must have explained a bit.

At this time, she came back, and the man behind her finally felt completely at ease.

Mu Qingge turned around and looked at Si Mo, who was now dressed. His ink-black hair had yet to be tied up and was casually draped over his shoulders and back.

This version of Si Mo added a hint of handsomeness, with a tad less coldness.

Mu Qingge gently caressed his cheeks with both hands and promised him, "I promise you, I won’t suddenly disappear again."

Si Mo nodded slowly, and the icy mist in his amber eyes gradually dissipated.

Turning his gaze to the kneeling Demon Guards, Si Mo ordered coldly, "Withdraw."

Without daring to speak more, Gu Ya, Gu Ye, and the Demon Guards silently exited the hall.

When only the two of them were left in the hall, Si Mo looked at Mu Qingge and said, "Gu Ya told me you have a space you can freely enter."

"Mm." Mu Qingge nodded. She said to Si Mo, "This space, you were a witness to its origin. Back then I..." She slowly talked about their past.

In fact, it was not necessary to speak about it now, but she wanted to explain the origin of the space to Si Mo, so she began recounting their second meeting.

Well... it could be considered their second meeting.

When she was nearly beaten to death by the Teng Whip, he did not show up, and they had no interaction.

Only after the battle with the Old Man of Beiming should it be considered their more formal second meeting!

"So that’s how it is." Si Mo listened quietly and fell silent for a moment before saying to Mu Qingge, "Ge’er, would you blame me for forgetting our past?"

Mu Qingge was taken aback, then shook her head with a smile. "It wasn’t your intention; you were also tricked by someone. Why would I blame you? Besides, even if you’ve forgotten, does it cause any barrier between us now?"

Si Mo shook his head assuredly. "No! When I saw you, I already knew you mean a lot to me."

Mu Qingge smiled warmly and said to Si Mo, "Once you recover, you’ll be ready to break that seal, and by then, you might remember everything."

Si Mo slowly nodded, his amber eyes filled with sincerity.

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of killing intent between his lashes. Once his physical condition improved, it would be time to seek revenge on Li Yuan.

"Also, don’t go looking for that Li Yuan just yet; wait for me," Mu Qingge suddenly said.

Si Mo’s narrowed eyes relaxed, and he looked at her with curiosity.

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, poking his chest with a finger and muttering discontentedly, "You’ve already fallen once at her hands, which means this woman isn’t simple. If you go looking for her again, what if she makes you lose your memory again?"

Just because of Li Yuan?

Si Mo coldly chuckled in his heart.

This time, Li Yuan succeeded because he had hidden injuries and couldn’t perform at his best. Once he recovered, how could Li Yuan have a chance again?

Yet, when he carefully considered Mu Qingge’s words, his eyes brightened with joy. "Could it be, Ge’er is jealous?"

Jealous, my foot!

Mu Qingge really wanted to retort harshly.

However, she hesitated, and the slight sourness in her heart forced her to admit that she truly didn’t like Si Mo having too much contact with other women, even if it was to kill.

Mu Qingge noticed that she seemed to become increasingly petty about Si Mo’s social interactions.

And that heart’s blood...

Mu Qingge glared at Si Mo unkindly, "In any case, wait for me a while; I’ll work hard to enhance my cultivation, and together we’ll seek revenge on Li Yuan. Also, why is your Taixuan Ancient Palace so perverse, having to leave some heart’s blood to pass on the lineage during succession?"

She didn’t realize that her words sounded more like a woman’s playful complaint.

She was voicing her discontent to Si Mo.

Si Mo, seeing her rare feminine demeanor, had an inerasable smile in his eyes. When she finished venting, he said, "Come with me."

Saying so, he took her hand and walked out of the hall.

Mu Qingge followed him in confusion, being led to a solemn grand hall.

Inside the hall, there was a faintly cold aura, one that belonged to the Demon Realm.

Mu Qingge saw, floating among the beast statues in this vast hall, clusters of glowing orbs, quietly staying there, passing countless years.

"What are these?" Mu Qingge asked curiously.

Surely, Si Mo wouldn’t bring her to see these glowing orbs for no reason.

"These are the heart’s blood left behind by past Demon Lords at their succession according to ancestral teachings." Si Mo answered blandly.

Mu Qingge looked at him in surprise.

She had merely made a passing remark, and he brought her here; what was he trying to do?

"Why did you bring me here?" Mu Qingge asked.

Si Mo turned his gaze to her and smiled, "Weren’t you worried about my heart’s blood?"

After he spoke, he gestured, and a glowing orb broke away from the group, slowly flying toward him, landing in his palm.

Holding the glowing orb in his hand, he brought it in front of Mu Qingge, "Take a look."

Mu Qingge furrowed her brows slightly, unaware of his intention. But she followed his words and looked closely into the glowing orb.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, withdrawing her gaze, and she looked at him in shock. "It’s empty!"

The glowing orb that belonged to Si Mo was actually empty, with no heart’s blood at all.

Si Mo nodded lightly and said to Mu Qingge, "How could my child be born inexplicably from some strange woman’s womb? Moreover..."

He suddenly paused, squeezing his fingers hard, the glowing orb in his hand shattered and disappeared without a trace.

Mu Qingge was shocked as she watched the scene unfold.

Si Mo, however, gently lifted her chin with his fingers, his pink lips curling into a faint smile. "Now that I have you, why would I need these things? Only you can give birth to my child."

Mu Qingge’s expression froze, and she thought to herself, ’Why are we on this topic again?’

"Perhaps, the little one is already in his mother’s belly," Si Mo said, embracing Mu Qingge from behind and placing his hands on her flat stomach.

These words almost made Mu Qingge jump up in fright and she immediately refuted, "That’s absolutely impossible!"

Her intense reaction made Si Mo’s expression darken, and his aura turned a bit colder.

"Ahem, that’s not what I meant." Mu Qingge forced a smile to appease the man whose temper was flaring. "I’m not saying I won’t give birth, just that the timing isn’t right yet."

"Then when will it be the right time?" Si Mo pressed on relentlessly.

It seemed that he was determined to get a promise from Mu Qingge today.

"..." This question stumped Mu Qingge. When is the right time? She thought about the burden she was carrying, which didn’t seem like something that could be resolved quickly.

She frowned in distress and said irritably, "Anyway, not now."

Mu Qingge’s emotions made Si Mo sigh. He took her hand and walked with her out of the grand hall. Outside, looking at the purple mists of Taixuan Ancient Palace, Si Mo said slowly, "The past is temporarily sealed. But I know that whether in the past or now, I can’t force you."

His words left Mu Qingge speechless, and she could only look at him with an apologetic expression.

Yet, Si Mo wasn’t angry. He turned to her and said, "If you truly don’t want to marry and have children with me now, I won’t force you. But do you remember the promise you made to me before?"

A promise to Si Mo?

Their conversation in the pit flashed through Mu Qingge’s mind. She subconsciously nodded.

Seeing that she did not deny it, Si Mo’s lips curved into a faint smile. "It’s good you remember. Now, I want you to promise me. If you truly become pregnant, you will give birth to the child."

Uh!

Mu Qingge stared at him, dumbfounded.

Si Mo continued, "I know your alchemy technique is very impressive, but I want you to promise me not to take any contraceptive elixirs while we are together. If there’s nothing, then fine. But if you accidentally conceive, you must give birth and marry me immediately."

Mu Qingge blinked and carefully processed the man’s words. Anxiously, she thought to herself, ’Damn it! How do those safe periods and danger periods work again? The physiology knowledge from my past life—does it even apply in this otherworld? Can’t remember, then I just have to avoid any intimacy!’

"You can’t use this as an excuse to avoid intimacy with me," Si Mo’s words shattered Mu Qingge’s smug thought.

Looking at his earnest face, Mu Qingge’s speech seemed to have been eaten by a beast, rendering her speechless.

After a while, she calmed herself, held her forehead helplessly, and asked, "Why are you so fixated on this issue?" The Si Mo from the past wouldn’t have been like this.

"Because I feel that only by having a child with you will the bond between us be unbreakable, and I can ensure I won’t lose you." Si Mo revealed his reason gravely.

Mu Qingge was taken aback; she hadn’t expected to hear such words from Si Mo.

So he has always been this apprehensive about it? Is she the reason for his unease?

"Qingge, you’re not a woman who can simply be held in someone’s palm. You have your own world, your own pursuits, and trying to hold you back will only push you away. Even though I don’t recall the past, this feeling has always been in my heart, constantly reminding me." Si Mo pulled Mu Qingge into his embrace, burying his head in her hair and deeply inhaling her scent.

At this moment, Si Mo no longer resembled the Demon Lord but was like a child afraid of losing his treasure, seeking solace in her arms.

This version of Si Mo pained Mu Qingge deeply.

Since they met, it was always him making sacrifices for her. He stood so high, so high that she couldn’t do anything for him.

Even the few things she did accomplish seemed insignificant compared to what he did.

’It’s just having a child, right?’ Mu Qingge cheered herself on inwardly, with a sense of tragic valor akin to ’braving the cold winds of Yi River, never to return,’ she nodded vigorously, gritting her teeth, "Alright! I promise you, should I conceive, I will give birth! I won’t resort to any means of contraception either!"

"Really?" Si Mo lifted his handsome face from Mu Qingge’s shoulder, the light in his amber eyes resembling a child who had just received his favorite candy.

"Ahem." Mu Qingge awkwardly coughed into her fist, avoiding his fiery gaze, and responded with her nose.

Si Mo’s eyes sparkled with surprise and delight.

’Turns out, Ge’er is more receptive to gentleness than force. This tactic works wonders on her!’ A sly look flashed in Si Mo’s eyes, unnoticed by Mu Qingge, who was busy steeling herself for motherhood.

"Ge’er, let’s go," Si Mo suddenly said to Mu Qingge.

"Where to?" Mu Qingge raised her head, looking at him in confusion.

"Back to the sleeping quarters." Si Mo’s reply was brief, but clear and directed.

"..." Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, grabbing his arm in warning, "Your body can’t handle such indulgence."

"Trust me, it can." Si Mo assured earnestly.

"I am an Alchemist," Mu Qingge ground her teeth, struggling to resist the pounding in her temples, glaring fiercely at the man in front of her.

Her fierce expression made Si Mo finally relent a bit, temporarily abandoning his plan to conceive a child.

Seeing him give up, Mu Qingge asked, "By the way, does this ordeal qualify as a Life and Death Tribulation?" After speaking, she suddenly remembered that Si Mo might not recall the Reverse Curse incident.

However, Si Mo disdainfully replied, "Li Yuan? Does she even qualify?"

This response left Mu Qingge startled, her heart tightening. ’Is this not a side effect of the Reverse Curse? But Gu Ya and Gu Ye clearly said...’

Suddenly, Mu Qingge understood.

Gu Ya and Gu Ye didn’t know what happened to Si Mo. His disappearance led them to think the side effects of the Reverse Curse were starting.

Now, Si Mo had forgotten everything related to her and didn’t remember the consequences of using the Reverse Curse.

Her question was perceived by him as mere curiosity.

That’s why he said that Li Yuan wasn’t worthy of being his Life and Death Tribulation.

Mu Qingge’s face turned slightly pale. If this wasn’t it, then what was Si Mo’s Life and Death Tribulation, and how would the side effects of the Reverse Curse manifest? Would Si Mo have to face another life-threatening ordeal?

"Qingge, what’s wrong?" Si Mo saw her pale expression and asked immediately.

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, collected her thoughts, and slowly shook her head with a smile, "Nothing." She decided to strengthen her power by all means possible before the real catastrophe struck, to face it with Si Mo together!
