Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 242: Return of the King (Part 3)

’Having not seen him for ten months, he has become even more handsome and upright. He seems no longer the flamboyant youth in dazzling attire and steed, but has transformed into a young general capable of galloping across the battlefield, strategizing and directing from the tent. That suit of armor accentuates his impressive presence, leaving people in awe. In front of him, I feel like a pearl covered in dust, losing its luster...’ Qin Yiyao gazed longingly, her eyes gradually darkening.

"Eh? That looks like the little lord of the Mu Mansion!"

"It really is the little lord!"

"Little lord, mighty! Little lord, mighty!"

Among the crowd, someone recognized Mu Qingge, and the previous fear turned into uniform cheering and shouting.

Ten months ago, Mu Qingge’s open street slaying of Han Sheng had already spread among the people, completely overturning her image of a playboy and instantly making her a hero in the hearts of the people.

Though she disappeared from Luodu for ten months, she was not forgotten by the people.

It was the same street, but a more dazzling little lord, sparking that fervent, blood-pumping memory in everyone’s hearts.

The people’s enthusiastic cheers made the soldiers guarding the city gate a bit apprehensive, worried about trouble arising from the citizen’s excitement, and surprised by Mu Qingge’s reputation among them.

The sounds of cheering reached Mu Qingge’s ears.

She remained calm as ever, neither arrogant nor impetuous. Her cold gaze lightly swept over the excited crowd, and wherever her gaze passed, people quieted down, though their hearts were still stirred.

"Is this the prestige of the Mu Family in Qin Country? Truly an eye-opener! In Tu Country, we heard the heir of the Mu Family was a true playboy and a complete waste. Unexpectedly, even such a frivolous wastrel could win such love from the people, Qin Country’s folk customs are indeed honest and simple!"

In the crowd, among those who hadn’t come forward, dressed in peculiar attire, came a voice with a mocking tone.

Their clothing was evidently different from the Qin citizens, sleeves and trouser cuffs tightly bound, without elaborate decorations, with animal-related totems embroidered on the waist of their front collars, and felt hats on their heads. Their features were more pronounced and deep-set compared to the Qin people.

The speaker should hold a high status, being surrounded by others like stars around the moon.

Accompanying him, dressed in civilian clothes, were the Crown Prince and Prince Rui of Qin Country. Today, they were ordered to accompany the Tu Country Country Delegation on a secret tour of the populace.

They didn’t expect, while passing by here, to happen upon the scene of Mu Qingge returning to the capital.

Mu Qingge’s brilliance also amazed Qin Jinxiu and Qin Jinhao.

However, after the Tu Country envoy’s apparent praise with hidden sarcasm, Qin Jinxiu’s face suddenly turned dark, his gaze towards Mu Qingge filled with jealousy and murderous intent.

It was instead Qin Jinhao who, gazing at that brilliant red figure, had a flicker in his eyes, thinking of something unspoken.

After the envoy’s words fell, he smiled slightly and, with an unclear meaning, said: "The Barbarian King’s information might be a bit outdated. Our Mu Family’s little lord in Qin Country is no longer a frivolous wastrel. Not only is he a master in Green Realm, but he also once avenged the soldiers who sacrificed in Yi City by publicly slaying the culprit, the Imperial Uncle of Han."

"Oh? There was actually such a thing?" The envoy’s eyes were playfully fixed on the dark-faced Crown Prince as his beard trembled.

Qin Jinxiu snorted coldly, unable to maintain his gentle appearance, only forcibly suppressing his anger in asking: "Didn’t the Barbarian King intend to see the beautiful scenery of the Peach Forest? Why waste time on unrelated matters?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is right, let’s go appreciate the Peach Garden scenery. Hahaha..."

The wild laughter almost enraged Qin Jinxiu to the point of bursting.
