Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 49: Elder of the Northern Seas (1)

On the outskirts of Luodu City, a slim figure is shrouded in a black cloak, stealthily moving through the night with the help of flickering candlelight. Beneath the swirling cloak, a hint of fiery red is faintly visible.

Perhaps, even Mu Xiong couldn’t guess that there was a secret passage leading out of the city hidden within his mansion, and the entrance to this passage was inside Mu Qingge’s room.

According to Mu Qingge, this secret passage was secretly constructed by her impressive master, solely for the convenience of this supposed ’useless’ person, allowing her to respond to his summon at any time.

Outside the city of Luodu, there is a vast mountain, its body stretching ominously in the darkness.

Mu Ge held the lantern to illuminate the path, with Mu Qingge’s voice guiding her by the ear.

The orange glow of the flame cast shadows on Mu Ge’s exquisite face, making it mysterious and difficult to discern, her eyes shadowed with Yin Zhe.

"I didn’t deliberately hide it from you. I just didn’t expect he would come looking for me so soon," Mu Qingge murmured, but it was easy to hear the fear in her voice.

Yet, Mu Ge ignored her.

Each time she thought that Mu Qingge had explained everything clearly, reality would always stage ’surprises’.

Mu Ge’s indifference towards Mu Qingge made the latter’s eyes reveal even more guilt. Watching Mu Ge walk farther away, heading towards the valley that terrified her, Mu Qingge gritted her teeth and instantly floated in front of Mu Ge, blocking her path.

"Don’t go!" Mu Qingge attempted to stop her.

Mu Ge glanced at her once, her clear, penetrating eyes without a ripple.

Rounding Mu Qingge, she prepared to continue.

"Don’t go!" Mu Qingge blocked her path again, even spreading her arms wide. In her instinctive action, she forgot that she was merely a soul body and couldn’t stop Mu Ge at all. If Mu Ge wished, she could even pass through her body directly and leave.

Mu Ge stopped once more, slowly raised her eyes, and those cold eyes, which sent chills down one’s spine, stared straight at her.

Mu Qingge’s eyes had a look of resolve as she quickly said, "Now that you can cultivate, there’s no need to seek out those sinister and wicked ways, let’s return to the mansion."

Her voice carried a tone of urgency.

It seemed as if something terrifying would happen if Mu Ge didn’t return soon.

However, her urgency wasn’t shared by Mu Ge. After she finished speaking, Mu Ge couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, her eyes full of derision: "Mu Qingge, now, I am Mu Qingge. Cleaning up your messes isn’t what I want to do, but it’s something I have no choice but to do. So from now on, you’d better keep quiet."

Mu Qingge’s transparent complexion seemed even paler, and even her originally slightly red lips had turned grayish-white.

"Lead the way," Mu Ge said coldly.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed with struggle, and after glancing at Mu Ge a few times, she once again pleaded: "If something happens to you, what will grandfather and aunt do?"

Mu Ge’s eyes bore even more mockery, her smile was faint: "At this moment, using these people to block me? When you were doing these things, did you ever think of them? I have known them for just a few days, do you think I care what happens to them?"

"Do you think I want this?" Mu Qingge suddenly erupted.

Her expression was one of deep anguish, her hands tightly gripping her head, fingers entangled in her hair. "I don’t want it either, but what choice do I have? I am useless, useless! The legitimate grandson of the Mu Family, Mu Xiong’s only grandson, yet unable to cultivate. I can’t bring glory to the Mu Family, instead, I have to rely on the Mu Family’s protection. I’m just a waste! Have you ever understood my feelings? When I’m in despair and rage, someone said they could change my constitution, how could I not be tempted? Why wouldn’t I dare to take risks? Even though I know that person has ulterior motives, and although I know the truth might not be as he claimed... But as long as there’s a sliver of chance, I don’t want to let it go."
