Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 697 - 132: Farewell to Goddess Xi

With just one glance, the two people nonchalantly looked away.

However, that glance stirred up a storm in Mu Qingge’s heart.

She silently returned to her room, recalling the predatory look in Yao Xinghai’s eyes, as if he had uncovered everything, exposing her secret.

’What does he know?’ Mu Qingge asked in her heart.

She had never interacted with Yao Xinghai, so why would he look at her like that?

"Qingge, what’s wrong?" Ji Yaohua turned and noticed Mu Qingge’s troubled face, and asked.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, and said to him: "How much do you know about Yao Xinghai?"

"Know?" Ji Yaohua thought for a moment, and said to Mu Qingge: "I wouldn’t say I know a lot, although we both rank in the top five on the Green Talent List, direct interactions have been rare, almost nonexistent. I’m closer to Ying Ze because of our families. As for the other three, whether it’s Xi Qianxue or Yao Xinghai, I have only seen them from afar at some family events. Those two belong to the type who keeps a low profile. Yao Xinghai especially stays in the Alchemy Institute most of the time and rarely leaves East Continent. His presence here is quite surprising to me too."

"By the way," Ji Yaohua thought for a moment and added: "Among the five of us, Wei Molili is the most mysterious. It’s said he gave up the position of Young Master to cultivate on his own and break through his own limits; he’s a complete Martial Fool. If you encounter him, be careful."

Mu Qingge was contemplating Yao Xinghai’s matters, and upon hearing Ji Yaohua’s words, she casually asked, "Careful of what?"

Ji Yaohua glanced at her with a peculiar expression and said, "Of course, be careful of him challenging you! Don’t you know your current reputation? Although not official matches, both Ying Ze and I have lost to you. I estimate that in two and a half years when the Green Talent List is re-ranked, you will surely rank higher. For a dark horse like you, of course, he won’t miss a chance to spar."

Mu Qingge didn’t pay much attention to his warning.

She had never cared about the rankings on the Green Talent List either.

Whether Wei Molili will come looking for her, or whether she will encounter Wei Molili, is an unknown. It’s unnecessary to expend effort on an uncertain matter.

What currently puzzled her was the meaning behind Yao Xinghai’s glance.

It seemed to convey a message, ’I know it’s you...’

Could it be?

Mu Qingge frowned slightly, asking herself: ’Know what about me? My identity as a woman? Impossible! Even most of the Sang Family doesn’t know this, nor do those around her like Xie Ya or Xuan Ya, how could he know? Artifact Refiner? There’s no secret to that, who doesn’t know she’s a Holy Level Refiner now? There’s only one thing left...’

Mu Qingge’s eyes darkened, her heart already guessing the truth.

Probably Yao Xinghai had already deduced those Divine Level Elixirs were her doing, which is why he showed such an expression and smile.

Mu Qingge sneered inwardly.

Although she hasn’t publicly declared herself as a Divine Level Alchemist, with another person like Mei Zizhong in town diverting others’ attention. However, her status as a Divine Level Alchemist isn’t something that needs secrecy either.

She would visit the East Continent Alchemy Academy sooner or later.

That Alchemy Conference championship was indeed hers to claim.

If Yao Xinghai thought that by guessing some insider information, he could catch her weakness, that would be too laughable.

Having figured it out, Mu Qingge felt at ease, regaining her tranquility. Her lips curved into a faintly provocative smile.

...

On the other side, after withdrawing his gaze, Yao Xinghai found it hard to calm his heart as well.

Shock, amazement, and a kind of excitement from seemingly prying into someone else’s secrets? Even he couldn’t understand his own emotions.

He didn’t expect, here in Luoxing City, not only was there a Treasure Level Pill Master, but also a concealed Divine Level Alchemist.

And, if he judged correctly, that Divine Level Alchemist is none other than the Lord City Lord of Luoxing City!

A person younger than him, not only a Holy Level Refiner but also a Divine Level Alchemist, most crucially, he possessed the perfect realm all alchemists yearned for but couldn’t obtain!

This truly made him joyous and astonished; he felt his journey to Luoxing City had not been in vain.

What amazed him even more was that such a talented individual had such an outstanding appearance, that androgynous face even aroused a hint of affection in him!

Yao Xinghai settled his emotions, slowly shaking his head to dismiss those inappropriate feelings. He murmured, "Even as men, still being charmed by another man, it seems my cultivation isn’t thorough yet."

...

The initial auction on the first floor ended with Yao Xinghai’s exorbitant bid.

Perhaps many found it hard to comprehend how one elixir, even a Divine Level Elixir, could fetch such a price.

Not mentioning the prior auctions, Yao Xinghai’s expenditure of one hundred thousand intermediate Spirit Stones for those two pills made countless families across the Middle Ancient Realm look up in envy and longing, unable to reach them. This shows, even within the Middle Ancient Realm, how rare a Divine Level Elixir is.

Of course, there’s another reason, the perfect quality!

If Divine Level Elixirs are considered rare treasures, then owning a Divine Level Elixir of perfect quality would be an understatement even if described as a phoenix’s feather.

This first auction concluded with a staggering price of one hundred thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones. The effects of the two elixirs are considered ordinary among Divine Level Elixirs, so Mu Qingge was very satisfied with this result.

After the auction, everyone left with reluctant hearts. Almost everyone would ask the maid when leaving when the next auction would start and what good things it would offer.

This kind of reaction made Mu Qingge know that she had achieved the desired effect.

"Let’s go. It’s about time to leave." After most people in the building had dispersed, Mu Qingge stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Ji Yaohua.

"Where to?" Ji Yaohua asked with high spirits.

Mu Qingge looked at him with a strange expression, "Where else do you want to go?" Tomorrow is the big day, and she has a lot of things to handle without the time to accompany him.

"This is my first time in Luoxing City. As the host, you naturally have to take me around." Ji Yaohua said as if it were only right and proper.

Mu Qingge walked past him with hands behind her back, ruthlessly refusing, "No time!"

"Hey, I’m a guest, too, and this is how you treat me? That’s a bit rude." Ji Yaohua followed Mu Qingge out, yelling continuously behind her.

"Even if you really don’t have time, you could find someone to accompany me. How about that Xuan Ya? I think she’s quite to my taste."

"Hey hey—Qingge! Mu Qingge! Don’t leave!"

Mu Qingge didn’t stop her steps, and Ji Yaohua kept yelling while chasing her.

"Mu Qingge?" Xi Qianxue, who also intended to leave only after most people had left, suddenly trembled when she heard this name at the door.

"Goddess, are you okay?" Five and Liu’er at her side cast concerned glances in her direction.

Xi Qianxue slowly shook her head, forcefully suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

At this moment, Mu Qingge had already reached the corner of the stairs and suddenly saw a hem of clothing peeking from behind the door, so she asked, "Who’s there? Come out."

Ji Yaohua caught up and interjected, "Why is someone hiding here to spy? Let me help you catch them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Qianxue stepped out and stood in front of the two of them.

Seeing it was Xi Qianxue, Ji Yaohua’s face showed a moment of shock, and he froze in place.

Mu Qingge was also stunned, looking at Xi Qianxue with an unnatural gaze.

Seeing Mu Qingge again, Xi Qianxue took a deep breath and walked towards them with a deliberately calm demeanor. She didn’t intend to greet them, but to go down the stairs, because there was only one way to leave here.

Xi Qianxue walked past them with graceful excellence and descended the stairs with poise. Five and Liu’er sneaked a look at Mu Qingge and quickly followed.

Xi Qianxue’s movement brought along a fragrant breeze.

Ji Yaohua inhaled deeply and said to Mu Qingge, "Wow! The scent of the Goddess is truly different."

Mu Qingge looked at him with disdain and mocked, "Has anyone ever told you that you’re very lewd?"

After speaking, she ignored Ji Yaohua’s reaction and walked down the stairs.

Unexpectedly, upon reaching the door, Xi Qianxue was still there.

Xi Qianxue wasn’t waiting for her, but had encountered Ying Ze at the door.

Mu Qingge stood at the entrance, and Ji Yaohua rushed out from behind her. Seeing that Xi Qianxue was still there, his eyes instantly brightened. "Hey, it seems I am destined to meet the Goddess today."

With that, he tidied up his collar and walked proudly towards Xi Qianxue.

Ying Ze, with a cold and solitary personality, merely nodded slightly when encountering Xi Qianxue, which counted as a greeting. But Ji Yaohua was different; he began an incredibly flamboyant self-introduction as soon as he approached.

At least, that’s how it sounded to Mu Qingge!

"Goddess Xi, I’ve long admired your great name, and seeing you today is truly thrilling for Ji Yaohua! Thinking you and I are both prominent figures on the Green Talent List, yet have never met is truly unfortunate. Today, how about letting Ji Yaohua be the host and inviting the Goddess to a tavern in Luoxing City so we can get to know each other better?" Ji Yaohua flashed a perfect smile at Xi Qianxue.

However, his demeanor was no different from those scoundrels flirting with beauties on the streets. It not only drew Ying Ze’s disdain but also made Xi Qianxue frown.

"Goddess Xi?" Ji Yaohua asked again.

’This person is the Young Master of the Ji Family and the second on the Green Talent List, can’t be offended too much.’ Xi Qianxue weighed it in her heart, neither agreeing nor refuting. However... she unknowingly looked in Mu Qingge’s direction.

Xi Qianxue looked at Mu Qingge, who was taken aback, as was Ji Yaohua, and even Ying Ze looked over curiously.

Unexpectedly, Xi Qianxue spoke another sentence in front of everyone, stirring their imaginations: "If City Lord Mu goes, then I will go."
