Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 687 - 122: Luoxing City Today (29 Updates)

In Luoxing City, it is no longer a desolate place.

The city roads, once hidden by trees and weeds, have been cleared, revealing their former grandeur.

Walking along the path leading to Luoxing City, Mu Qingge surveyed the surroundings. It was completely different from when she first came. The majestic outline of the city had appeared, and the Beast Guardian Pillars were visible in the distance.

Inside and outside the city walls, many silhouettes were busily working.

"Young Master, for the restoration of Luoxing City, Mo Yang recruited many craftsmen and laborers. Otherwise, relying solely on our Dragon Tooth Guards, it would be impossible to make the city habitable in such a short time," You He spoke softly beside Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded, sighing, "It’s still our place that makes one feel relaxed and happy."

Then she said to the two women, "Let’s go directly inside without disturbing these people."

Saying that, she took You He and Xie Ya in a flash, disappeared from the road, and reappeared inside the castle of Luoxing City.

Suddenly sensing a familiar aura, Yin Chen turned swiftly from a stack of blueprints and saw the familiar figures standing behind him.

"Qingge!" Joy lit up in Yin Chen’s blood-red eyes. He quickly walked down and grabbed Mu Qingge’s arm, saying, "I thought you’d take a few more days to arrive."

Mu Qingge smiled gently at him and said, "Yin Chen, it’s been tough for you during this period."

"Not tough," Yin Chen shook his head.

It had been a long time since he last saw Mu Qingge. Now, upon seeing her, he observed closely and noticed a subtle sadness hidden in her expression.

"Qingge, what’s wrong?" Yin Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, shaking her head.

She walked to those blueprints, casually picking one up to examine. "Are these all for the restoration of the city?"

Seeing her unwilling to talk, Yin Chen had to temporarily put that worry aside, walked over to her, and said, "That’s right, all according to your plans. There’s still a month until the date on the invitation. In the meantime, Mo Yang is busy recruiting Floating Guests, so I’m handling the finishing touches of the restoration. Oh, by the way, Mei Zizhong set up an Elixir House and a Medicine Hall in the city based on your suggestion. The Elixir House refines elixirs for Floating Guests, and the Medicine Hall recruits disciples with talents in medicine and alchemy, who can learn while treating future city residents. Xuan Ya is in charge of the city’s internal affairs and is managing everything neatly. Hua Yue is in charge of handling intelligence matters, and as for that gluttonous snake..."

Mentioning Bai Xi, Yin Chen frowned slightly, appearing hesitant to speak further.

Mu Qingge put down the blueprint, turned to him, and asked, "What about Bai Xi?"

Yin Chen showed a peculiar expression and said to Mu Qingge, "It’s nothing much. It’s just that since she arrived, she has practically devoured all the spirit beasts nearby."

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, and she laughed, "As long as she doesn’t cause trouble."

Yin Chen nodded.

"How did you arrange those brought by Mu Chen?" Mu Qingge pondered and asked.

Mu Chen and Mu Peng had been dispatched by her to find people from the Mu Family in the Middle Ancient Realm, and they were not currently in the city. Now, in the Sang Family, there was only the High Priest. Later, he would come along with King Shun and the others, and stay in Luoxing City thereafter.

Yin Chen said, "Since you were not here, we didn’t make any specific arrangements for them, just temporarily accommodated them and had them work with the Dragon Tooth Guards on the city restoration."

"They don’t have any complaints, do they?" Mu Qingge inquired.

Yin Chen pondered for a moment before answering, "I haven’t noticed any."

Mu Qingge nodded and then said to him, "During this period, having you busy with the restoration of Luoxing City might have delayed your cultivation time. Once this busy period is over, focus on your cultivation without worries."

"Sure," Yin Chen agreed without hesitation.

He knew that only by continuously growing stronger could he protect Mu Qingge and ensure her safety.

"How are the affairs with the Dragon Hidden Army?" Mu Qingge inquired again.

Yin Chen slowly shook his head, "The matters concerning the Dragon Hidden Army are mainly handled by Mo Yang, so I’m not very clear. However, our recruitment standards are stringent, so up until today, we’ve only recruited a thousand people."

"No rush, many will come in the days ahead," Mu Qingge showed no concern.

After inquiring about the general situation, Mu Qingge said to Yin Chen, "Inform the others, let’s have a meeting."

"Alright," Yin Chen responded and retreated.

Walking out of the hall, he still couldn’t set aside the subtle sadness he noticed in Mu Qingge’s brows.

...

Soon, the news of Mu Qingge’s arrival in the city reached the ears of her core members.

They promptly set aside their tasks and hurried back to the great hall of the castle, seeing Mu Qingge standing by the main seat, intently studying the map of Luoxing City.

"Young Master!"

"Qingge!"

"Young Master!"

"Instructor!"

A dozen people walked into the hall, standing before Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge raised her head, her clear gaze sweeping over the crowd. Among them were three somewhat unfamiliar faces, but she had an impression of them. Mu Qingge thought for a while and recognized them.

These three were the people following Mu Chen. With Mu Chen absent and Mu Qingge holding a meeting, it was naturally up to them to represent him.

As for the others... Yin Chen, Bai Xi, Mo Yang, You He, Hua Yue, Xie Ya, Xuan Ya, Mei Zizhong, Jing Hai, and Xuan Kui were all present, not a single one missing.

Mu Qingge nodded, "Great, everyone is here."

She pointed to the seats on either side and said to everyone, "Please sit."

Everyone followed her order to sit, but Jing Hai stood up again after sitting down, asking Mu Qingge, "Instructor, where is Little Uncle? Didn’t he come back with you?"

At the mention of Yuanyuan, Mu Qingge stiffened. Her mind flashed back to the image of Yuanyuan standing between her.

Her unusual emotions immediately caught the attention of everyone.

The seated ones stood up in succession, looking at her with somewhat grave expressions.

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, her gaze turning to the finger cover on her right hand. Suddenly, a flash of silver appeared, and the reforged Linglong Spear materialized beside her, suspended in the air, emitting a faint aura.

Bai Xi sniffed and exclaimed, "There’s Yuanyuan’s presence in here."

"Yuanyuan has now become the Artifact Spirit of the Linglong Spear and is still asleep. Jiang Li... is missing," Mu Qingge said with difficulty.

Her words shocked everyone, leaving them unaware of what Mu Qingge had experienced recently.

Then, Mu Qingge recounted the events in Cold Inch to them.

She didn’t elaborate too much, but those familiar with her could feel the arduous and thrilling battle she went through!

Bai Xi instantly appeared beside Mu Qingge, hugging her and saying, "I won’t leave again. I must watch over you, protect you closely!" She was filled with regret for not returning to the Sang Family; even though Mu Qingge asked her to stay, she had been idle here for so long without knowing that Mu Qingge nearly died.

"Bai Xi, I’m fine now. The outcome isn’t the worst. At least there’s a chance Yuanyuan can return, and I will find Jiang Li. As for Mu Tianyin’s life, I will claim it!" Mu Qingge pulled Bai Xi’s arm down and spoke to her.

"Qingge..."

"Little Lord..."

"Instructor... Wuwuwu... Little Uncle..." Jing Hai, being quite young, couldn’t control himself and ran out crying. He also hated himself for being useless, not being able to fight alongside Mu Qingge, nor protect her as Yuanyuan did.

Those standing in the hall, aside from the three brought by Mu Chen, had deep feelings for Mu Qingge.

Yin Chen finally understood the sorrow hidden between Mu Qingge’s brows, Mei Zizhong looked at her with concern, and Mo Yang tightened his grip, fists clenched, seemingly regretting not staying by Mu Qingge’s side, leaving her to face so much alone.

"Alright, I’m fine." Mu Qingge took a deep breath and said to everyone, "I called you here today mainly to understand the progress in various areas. Li Luoxing City’s announcement to the world is in one month, so everyone has to work hard to perfect everything. Also..." She looked at the three brought by Mu Chen.

Seeing her gaze, the three immediately paid their respects. In unison, they called, "Young Master!"

Mu Qingge descended from the steps, standing at a distance from them, saying, "You three hundred will be called Dragon Feather Guards from now on, just like the Dragon Tooth Guards, my right and left hands. You will still obey Mu Chen and Mu Peng but remember, I am your true master. As for other treatments, whatever the Dragon Tooth Guards have, you will also have. I won’t favor one over the other. Your daily training will be with the Dragon Tooth Guards. Additionally, you can participate in the Dragon Tooth Floating Guest missions, and like them, if there are no missions, you will be responsible for city security maintenance."

Except for the Genetic Transformation Agent, Mu Qingge was fair in treating her subordinates. Whether equipment, elixirs, or even flying spirit beasts, she would equip them, sooner or later.

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Dragon Feather Guards, salute the Young Master!"

The three immediately knelt on one knee, accepting Mu Qingge’s arrangements.

Mu Qingge’s gaze swept from them to Mo Yang, solemnly stating, "You must seize time to cultivate, remember our goal isn’t here, but in a broader, mightier continent."

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Yes, Little Lord!"

Everyone responded in unison.

...

The crowd dispersed from the hall, but Mei Zizhong stayed behind.

"Senior Brother Mei, is there anything else?" Mu Qingge asked him.

Mei Zizhong slowly shook his head, saying to her, "I just wanted to seriously confirm whether you’re really fine. If you’re feeling troubled..." He pressed his lips tightly, not continuing.

Mu Qingge listened and knew he was referring to Jiang Li.

Mu Qingge gave a wistful smile, a trace of pain flickering in her eyes, though she concealed it well. She said to Mei Zizhong, "Even if I say I’m fine, you wouldn’t believe it. But, since things have come to this, dwelling on pain is useless. Better to enhance my strength, to prevent such incidents, and find Jiang Li sooner. No matter what, I must find her!"

"I believe you." Seeing the resolute light in her eyes, Mei Zizhong nodded.
