Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 802: Chapter 237: Grandpa Mo’s Pettiness (First Update)

Mu Qingge’s cold gaze swept over the few people standing frozen on the deck, her lips curling up in an ambiguous smile.

Thud, thud, thud—!

As her gaze passed over them, the people standing there involuntarily dropped to their knees, trembling all over.

It seemed they were begging for Mu Qingge’s forgiveness.

However, Mu Qingge did not pay them any mind and instead walked directly toward the ship’s captain.

The captain’s face turned increasingly sour as he watched Mu Qingge approach, his legs trembling uncontrollably, fear spreading from his eyes.

"Steer the ship well. I want to reach the East Continent within five days." The golden spiritual light on Mu Qingge’s body had subsided, but the Linglong Spear in her hand rested on the captain’s shoulder.

The captain trembled, quickly responding, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Mu Qingge withdrew the Linglong Spear and turned her gaze to the woman tied to the ship’s wheel. When she had tied her up, she had not only bound her waist but also tied her hands together.

Seeing Mu Qingge looking her way, the woman exclaimed excitedly, "So you are a Golden Realm expert, you’re amazing!"

There was a flash of admiration in her eyes.

Mu Qingge did not respond to her words; instead, she waved her hand and released the ropes binding her.

Before the woman could speak, Mu Qingge said, "In these few days, watch them closely. If anyone slacks off, come and tell me." Then, she turned and headed toward the damaged cabin.

Fortunately, this ship could withstand the blows. Although it was damaged, it hadn’t started leaking, making it unable to sail.

Mu Qingge’s attitude left everyone on the ship puzzled.

Had she forgiven their previous selfish actions, or was she planning to settle scores later?

Except for the woman who had warned Mu Qingge, the rest were nervous. These days passed in constant anxiety.

Thankfully, during these days, Mu Qingge did not appear before them, only letting the woman watch over them.

This led them to wonder if Mu Qingge had decided not to hold their actions against them anymore.

Five days flew by.

The journey originally requiring another day or two was forcibly shortened by the captain. After all, Mu Qingge had given only five days, and he dared not offend her further.

"East Continent... We’ve finally reached the East Continent!"

The clouds and mist cleared over the sea, revealing a vague outline of land to the people on the ship.

Having drifted on Yanghai for over ten days, experiencing life and death, those living in constant unease were now beside themselves with excitement.

Footsteps echoed on the deck.

This made the people on the ship turn pale, each falling silent and obediently making way.

Mu Qingge appeared on the deck once more, still in her dazzling red robe, exuding the air of a wild and flamboyant handsome young master.

She also saw the outline of the continent, the East Continent was right before her.

’East Continent, I’ve finally arrived!’ Mu Qingge sighed inwardly. Coming to this East Continent, and heading to the Alchemy Institute truly made her go through many trials.

Retracting her gaze, Mu Qingge surveyed her surroundings, taking in the apprehensive expressions of those on board.

She chuckled coldly in her heart and unexpectedly said, "You once abandoned me. If I don’t repay this, I wouldn’t be Mu Qingge."

Even as her words lingered, Mu Qingge stomped hard on the deck.

Golden spiritual power spread from her feet, rushing rapidly like countless golden serpents around the ship.

Boom, boom, boom—!

Before the others could respond, the ferry began to fracture. Water surged through the cracks, and the ship quickly sank.

"Mu Qingge! It’s Mu Qingge! The City Lord of Luoxing City, the master of Dragon Teeth, the current number one on the Green Talent List!"

"City Lord Mu, have mercy!"

"City Lord Mu, we were wrong!"

"Ah—!"

Everyone snapped awake but fell into the sea.

Yet, Mu Qingge remained unmoved, merely appearing beside the stunned woman, grabbing her shoulder, and leaping into the air, flying toward the East Continent’s shore.

She had Golden Realm Cultivation, so flying through the air over this distance posed no problem.

However, as for the others on the ship...

From the sky, Mu Qingge’s cold voice sounded, "I have no desire to kill you. If you’re lucky enough, swim to the East Continent, and the grudge between us will be written off."

Swim!

The woman held by Mu Qingge shivered upon hearing her words.

She glanced at the sea, where those struggling were unlikely to make it ashore with more than half their lives intact, except for the captain, who knew how to swim and was familiar with Yanghai.

This struggle between life and death was far more torturous than a swift execution.

She sneaked a glance at Mu Qingge, feeling a chill in her heart. Had she not given that warning, would she have been thrown into the sea like the others?

’However, those people deserved it! Hmph!’ the woman thought secretly.

Gradually, the figures in the sea turned into small black dots in her view, disappearing. Meanwhile, the East Continent became increasingly clear.

After flying through the air for half a day, Mu Qingge finally landed on the soil of the East Continent.

As soon as they landed, Mu Qingge let go of her hand, and the woman, unable to stand steadily, fell directly to the ground.

"Ouch!" she yelped softly, rubbing her sore backside as she stood up. She wanted to complain but, remembering how Mu Qingge had dealt with those people earlier, she dared not utter a word.

Mu Qingge didn’t even glance at her, striding forward.

She needed to get to Yinggu City. According to the map, Yinggu City wasn’t far from the shore. Once there, she could use the teleportation array to reach Qingchang Prefecture in the East Continent, and from there, the Alchemy Institute.

By her calculations, it was around the time for the Alchemy Institute’s recruitment. Missing it would mean waiting another three years.

Three years...

She couldn’t afford to wait!

"Wait, where are you going?" The woman jogged to catch up.

Mu Qingge stopped and turned her gaze towards her. The woman’s shoulders shrunk under Mu Qingge’s cold stare, and she timidly said, "Mu... Mu City Lord..."

"What else do you want?" Mu Qingge asked lightly, gazing at her.

The woman bit her lip and said, "My name is Song Jinsan. I’m passing through Qingchang Prefecture on my way to the Alchemy Institute. I wonder if City Lord Mu is heading that way; could we travel together?"

’She’s also heading to the Alchemy Institute?’ Mu Qingge slightly raised her eyebrow, thinking to herself.

Seeing Mu Qingge remain silent, Song Jinsan explained further, "Please don’t misunderstand, City Lord Mu. I don’t mean any harm. It’s just that as a woman traveling alone, after the incident on Yanghai, I’m a bit scared. I hope to travel with you for mutual protection. Rest assured, I won’t cause you any trouble. I’ll just follow behind, so you don’t have to worry about me."

Mu Qingge looked at her and said calmly, "From here to Yinggu City, then through the teleportation array to Qingchang Prefecture, there’s no danger on this route. If you can’t handle the journey from Qingchang Prefecture to the Alchemy Institute on your own, you should return early."

With that, she turned and left, not revealing her destination to Song Jinsan.

Even if their destination was the same, she didn’t want to travel with another woman.

The lessons from the past were clear in her mind. Whether they were men or women approaching her, she believed it best to avoid them.

Watching her leave without hesitation, Song Jinsan stood there, looking disappointed.

Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she murmured to herself, "You seem so familiar with the road to the Alchemy Institute. Could it be you’re also heading there?"

This thought brought a hint of slyness to her eyes.

Shaking off her previous disappointment, she lifted her skirt and quickly headed towards Yinggu City.

...

Yinggu City, Qingchang Prefecture...

Mu Qingge easily found Yinggu City, used the teleportation array, and arrived at Qingchang Prefecture.

The current her was no longer the little lord Mu just entering the Middle Ancient Realm.

Nothing in the state mansion could pique her curiosity or interest anymore.

When she emerged from the teleportation array and saw the darkening sky, she contemplated for a moment and decided to find an inn to stay for the night. Tomorrow, she’d ride Xiaocai to the Alchemy Institute at a faster pace.

With Xiaocai’s speed, she could reach the Alchemy Institute more quickly!

"City Lord Mu! What a coincidence! We meet again!"

A delighted female voice suddenly called out from behind Mu Qingge. She slightly frowned and turned to see Song Jinsan standing not far behind.

By her appearance, it seemed she had just exited the teleportation array as well.

She must have entered the teleportation array in Yinggu City just after Mu Qingge had arrived there.

"Is City Lord Mu also headed to the Alchemy Institute?" Song Jinsan walked over to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge pressed her lips together without speaking. The Song Jinsan before her seemed different from the one before. She seemed to have regained her confidence, no longer affected by the ordeal at Yanghai.

Seeing Mu Qingge’s cold expression, Song Jinsan didn’t mind and continued, "On Yanghai, I was indebted to City Lord Mu’s help. Since we’ve met again here, why not let me host a meal to thank you for saving my life?"

"No need." Mu Qingge refused without hesitation.

At that moment, Si Mo’s cold voice resounded in her mind, "Ge’er, you really are irresistible. I took a nap, and now you have another woman by your side?"

The voice, tinged with killing intent, was also filled with undeniable jealousy.

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched. She realized that Si Mo was becoming increasingly prone to jealousy.

She replied in her mind, "It’s a woman!" She was reminding Si Mo that she too was a woman. What could happen between two women?

"But you’re in men’s clothing now. Ge’er’s men’s attire is equally captivating!" Si Mo replied in a muffled tone, seemingly feeling deeply wronged.

Mu Qingge was speechless.

She had already declined Song Jinsan’s invitation!

Did this man really need to be so jealous?

"If she continues to latch onto you, I’ll come out and kill her." Si Mo gave a final ultimatum. No man or woman was allowed to covet his woman, let alone gaze at her.

Mu Qingge chuckled.

This Great Demon King’s way of sulking was different from others.

To appease him, not to mention her own unwillingness to get involved with Song Jinsan, Mu Qingge coldly refused again, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Song. I saved you only because you warned me earlier. So, you don’t owe me anything."

After speaking, she turned and quickly left, ignoring Song Jinsan’s disappointed expression.

Once she was some distance away, Si Mo’s voice called again, "Ge’er, come in."

’Great, saving on inn costs too.’ Mu Qingge thought sarcastically to herself.
