Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 222: Spatial Anomaly Beyond Linchuan (Part 9)

After some thought, Mu Qingge’s mind shifted, moving everything from the Sumeru Bracelet into her own space. She only held a sparkling stone and the token, opening her hands in front of Gu Ya.

"Two questions. What is this stone? And what does this token represent?" Mu Qingge asked directly.

Gu Ya lowered his eyes, glancing over the stone and token, and then said, "What you’re holding is a low-level Spirit Stone, which can aid in cultivation and can also be used as currency. As for this token, it should be a family identity symbol. Generally, members on the periphery of a family have wooden identity tokens, while a copper one typically symbolizes an outer steward."

Mu Qingge’s gaze darkened, throwing the Spirit Stone and token back into space, she then said, "So, this guy is somewhat of a small leader." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gu Ya was silent for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, these families are also divided into various ranks. Outer disciples are countless, and so-called outer stewards, small families may have dozens to hundreds. Middle-level families count by hundreds, and there are even more in top-level families."

Mu Qingge’s eyes turned as she carefully considered Gu Ya’s words and said, "You mean to say, even though this guy has some status, he’s not a big deal. His death in Linchuan may not even be known, and even if it is, someone might not spend the effort and time to investigate, or even seek revenge?"

Gu Ya nodded: "That’s one way to put it. This is based on common reasoning, but what the reality is, no one knows."

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, silent.

At this point, there’s nothing to do but take it one step at a time.

As long as the scene is cleaned up, even if someone comes to investigate, they might not trace it back to her.

Mu Qingge turned around, preparing to handle the corpse.

However, Gu Ya reached out to stop her: "Instead of covering everything up, it’s better to leave it here for the surrounding Spirit Beasts to consume—it’s more natural and leaves them with nothing to investigate."

Mu Qingge thought for a moment, acknowledged Gu Ya’s suggestion, and gave up the idea of handling the corpse.

As she was preparing to leave the scene, she suddenly turned and asked Gu Ya: "The world stronger than Linchuan, is it dominated by families?"

"..." Gu Ya was silent. He realized he’d spoken too much today.

...

Not long after Mu Qingge left, she found the two maidservants, You He and Hua Yue.

When the two saw Mu Qingge appear unharmed, they burst into tears, rushing into her embrace.

Seeing the crying pair, Mu Qingge was rather helpless, but could only comfort them. Then she led them away from the territory of the Cloud Splitting Leopard.

After they left, the area, now free of the Cloud Splitting Leopard’s menace, began to see Spirit Beasts appear one after another.

Staring at the halved corpse on the ground, the Spirit Beasts drooled in longing as they slowly approached.

However, when they got close, ready to bite, an anomaly suddenly occurred—

A layer of frost suddenly appeared on the two halves of the corpse on the ground, encapsulating them. Immediately, the earth beneath the corpse seemed to liquefy, swallowing it as if to bury it.

Moments later, the ground returned to normal.

And a powerful pressure emanated from beneath the earth, spreading in all directions, scaring the Spirit Beasts into fleeing without daring to close in again.

In an instant, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

That night, Mu Qingge and the two others found an abandoned Spirit Beast cave for the night. You He and Hua Yue went out separately to search for food and water, leaving Mu Qingge resting alone in the cave.

Mu Qingge, with her eyes closed in meditation, sent her consciousness into her space. The mountain of Beast Cores represented untold wealth!

But when Mu Qingge, intending to sleep comfortably with the ’gold’, entered her space, she was startled to discover that some of the previously stored Beast Cores were missing.

"What’s going on?" Mu Qingge exclaimed, staring in shock at a corner of her space.

Earlier, she distinctly remembered piling it full with high-rank Beast Cores seized from outsiders. But now, it was empty, the blue-purple Beast Cores vanished entirely.

Standing in place, she turned in a full circle, taking in the entirety of her space. Suddenly, her eyes contracted as she discovered another missing item.

Those dozens of low-level Spirit Stones also seemed to be gone!

Damn it! Who did this?

Mu Qingge was furious! The assets she painstakingly gathered had disappeared silently? Especially the Spirit Stones, she hadn’t heard of them in Linchuan. She hadn’t even gotten a chance to warm up to these treasures, and they were gone?

Murderous intent flared in Mu Qingge’s clear eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of a burp echoed.

Mu Qingge was startled, quickly turning to search: "Who’s there?" How could something infiltrate her space? That defies logic!

Unfortunately, no one answered her.

Mu Qingge frowned deeply, lost in thought.

A handful of Beast Cores suddenly floated before her, transforming into a radiant multicolored light, flying toward a part of her space.

Mu Qingge’s gaze followed, only to see the cluster of multicolored light land on a box, encapsulating it, then suddenly disappearing.

Her clear eyes wide open, Mu Qingge fixed her gaze on that familiar box, as if she had found the culprit behind the disappearance of the Beast Cores and Spirit Stones!
