Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 716 - 151: Ji Family’s Son-in-Law Selection (Double Update)

On the second day, Mu Qingge returned to Tianping City from Yu Yan Mountain. She had planned to arrange everything and then head to the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield as per Hou’s suggestion. However, an unexpected visitor disrupted her schedule.

"Why are you here?" Mu Qingge stared in surprise at Ji Yaohua, who appeared before her.

As soon as Ji Yaohua saw Mu Qingge, she jumped up from her chair and pointed at her, scolding, "Wow! You, Mu Qingge, came to the Northern Continent without notifying me, making me go all the way to Luoxing City to find you! I went in a circle and ended up at my own doorstep."

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she asked, "Why are you looking for me? Didn’t someone send your fan to you?"

"You have the nerve to say that. Such a valuable thing, you should have informed me to fetch it personally! You just let Dragon Teeth deliver it. I was so frightened, I couldn’t sleep for days and nights, fearing some clueless person would rob it halfway," Ji Yaohua patted her chest with lingering fear.

Mu Qingge shook her head helplessly, "Nobody knows about this matter, who would rob it? Are you overthinking it?"

Ji Yaohua was driven crazy by her indifferent attitude but couldn’t scold her, so she switched topics, "Since you’re already in the Northern Continent, you must come home with me."

"Why should I go to your house?" Mu Qingge looked at him puzzled.

Ji Yaohua leaned closer, giving a mysterious smile, "I’m inviting you because there’s something good for you."

"Not interested." Mu Qingge shook her head unmoved.

If Ji Yaohua mentioned something good, it certainly wasn’t something good!

Ji Yaohua laughed, "Don’t be so quick to refuse, it’s really good. Ying Ze will also be there, and we haven’t gathered in a long time, so let’s take this opportunity to have a good gathering."

Saying that, he waved his hand, and a fan appeared in his hand.

Seeing the fan, Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow. This fan was the one she crafted for Ji Yaohua. She initially thought it might become a Top Grade Divine Artifact, but unexpectedly, before she began the Artifact Refining, Ji Yaohua somehow obtained a wisp of soul and had it refined into the fan, becoming an Artifact Soul.

Thus, her second Holy Artifact in her hand was born this way.

Ji Yaohua played with the fan in his hand, smiling at Mu Qingge with eyes curved into crescents, "You worked hard to refine this for me, and I haven’t properly thanked you. So you can’t refuse this time."

Mu Qingge sighed and said to him, "I really have other plans."

Ji Yaohua curiously asked, "What plans are so urgent? Can’t you delay a few days?"

Seeing his demeanor, it seemed he wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal. If she didn’t agree, this guy would probably cling to her wherever she went.

Helplessly, Mu Qingge had to compromise, "I can only stay at your place for three days at most." Mu Qingge calculated in her heart that before entering the Ancient Battlefield, she needed to prepare carefully, such as Elixirs, which were essential. After all, she was cutting off her retreat by going in.

So, during this time, she could go with Ji Yaohua to the Ji Family.

"Alright, alright! As long as you’re willing to go, anything you say," Ji Yaohua said hastily.

Then, he said to Mu Qingge, "You have nothing left to do, right? If everything’s done here, let’s go."

Mu Qingge was taken aback, "In such a hurry?"

"Yes, urgency can’t wait," Ji Yaohua nodded.

The more he acted like this, the more Mu Qingge felt something was fishy, but she couldn’t figure out what Ji Yaohua had in mind. Anyway, whatever he planned, he wouldn’t harm her.

With this thought, Mu Qingge nodded.

Following that, the two left the city directly and reached outside Tianping City, where Mu Qingge released Xiao Cai.

The moment Xiao Cai appeared, its rainbow-colored feathers almost made Ji Yaohua pounce over in amazement, drooling.

"Is this your mount? It’s so beautiful! I want one too!" Ji Yaohua’s eyes gleamed as he eyed Xiao Cai, provoking a disdainful look from Xiao Cai.

She gave Mu Qingge a pitiable look, as if saying, ’Master, please get rid of this perverted guy!’

Mu Qingge amusingly tugged Ji Yaohua’s collar, pulling him away, and said to him, "My Xiao Cai is a rarity in ten thousand years; don’t even think about it."

After she spoke, Xiao Cai cooperatively gave Ji Yaohua a slightly arrogant look.

Ji Yaohua smacked his lips regretfully, "Such a good mount, why isn’t it mine?"

Mu Qingge took him, leaped lightly, and sat on Xiao Cai’s back. She asked Ji Yaohua, "Tell me, which direction is the Ji Family?"

Ji Yaohua replied, "The Ji Family’s city is called Wankai City, located southeast of Tianping City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Cai spread its wings and flew, carrying the two directly into the air, vanishing from the landscape of Tianping City with a ’whoosh’.

"Woah! The speed is incredible!" Ji Yaohua exclaimed in amazement, busy tidying his hair blown by the wind.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, naturally stating, "Xiao Cai’s speed is naturally fast."

"At this speed, we’ll arrive in Wankai City today, just in time for dinner," Ji Yaohua leaned toward Mu Qingge and smiled.

...

Wankai City, a city governed by the Ji Clan of the Northern Continent.

It lies close to the Northern Continent’s State Mansion, Roubei Prefecture. As one of the top cities in the Northern Continent, Wankai City is practically the second State Mansion to the people of the Northern Continent.

Mu Qingge had Xiaocai land in the suburbs of Wankai City, not wanting to make a large commotion.

Once she had put Xiaocai away, Mu Qingge turned to Ji Yaohua who was looking at her with relish.

Ji Yaohua gazed at her with envy and said, "Why didn’t I ever think of catching myself a flying beast?" Then he muttered to himself, "The problem is, I’m not from the Central Continent’s Jing Family, so I can’t do beast taming. Asking the Jing Family for help with taming spirit beasts is just too much trouble."

After speaking, he curiously asked Mu Qingge, "Qingge, how did you get Xiaocai to obediently listen to you? Did you happen to have someone from the Jing Family help you?"

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched; although she did have someone from the Jing Family by her side, Xiaocai was not tamed by Jing Hai.

Actually, when Si Mo handed Xiaocai to her, it was already very obedient and gentle.

However, she naturally didn’t want to explain this to Ji Yaohua and simply said, "Flying spirit beasts need to be raised from a young age; as you gradually build a connection with them, they’ll naturally listen to you." Her words were not baseless; every Dragon Tooth Guard has a flying beast, isn’t it because of this?

"So, I need to go find a bird egg!" Ji Yaohua immediately understood.

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

Suddenly, Ji Yaohua frowned and said, "But how can I tell if the creature that hatches is beautiful or ugly just from an egg? What if it turns out too ugly to match my dashing self, what would I do then?"

"..." Mu Qingge was speechless.

Sometimes, she truly admired Ji Yaohua’s unique way of thinking.

Seeing Ji Yaohua lost in his thoughts, Mu Qingge helplessly urged him, "Let’s go, didn’t you say we need to hurry for dinner?"

Interrupted from his thoughts, Ji Yaohua awoke from his flying beast reverie and patted his head, "Yes, yes! Let’s head into the city quickly!"

Following this, he grabbed Mu Qingge by the sleeve and headed toward the gate of Wankai City.

Mu Qingge watched him, feeling helpless inside, "Is this guy really the second-ranked person on the Green Talent List?"

"Young Master Ji!"

"Hello, Young Master Ji!"

"Young Master Ji is back!"

"Young Master Ji!"

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Along the way, Mu Qingge truly felt how popular Ji Yaohua was in Wankai City.

From children to the elderly, men to women, soldiers to civilians, everyone who saw him greeted him warmly. He didn’t find it bothersome; with a spring breeze smile, he nodded gently and occasionally chatted.

This carefree, peaceful, and amiable Ji Yaohua genuinely surprised Mu Qingge.

She clearly remembered that when Ji Yaohua wanted to force her into a duel, he directly took Mu Xuewu hostage, threatening without any scruples. It was hard to imagine that the overbearing tyrant was the same person as this approachable fellow.

Due to Ji Yaohua’s popularity, Mu Qingge also received a lot of attention along the way.

The curious glances, the knowing smiles, even expressions of sudden realization rendered her bewildered. She suddenly felt as if the whole world understood something, leaving her alone in confusion and embarrassment.

Feeling dazed, Mu Qingge was led by Ji Yaohua into the Ji Family. Once inside a floral hall, she snapped back to reality, realizing she had no recollection of what the Ji Family gate looked like.

Blinking, Mu Qingge then noticed there was someone seated in the flower hall, someone she recognized.

"Hahaha—! Today is certainly a good day, we just arrived, and you’re here too." Ji Yaohua walked over cheerfully and playfully slapped the other’s shoulder.

The person calmly brushed Ji Yaohua’s hand away, dusted his shoulder, and nodded slightly at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said, "Ji Yaohua said you were coming; I didn’t believe him at first, but now I do."

Ying Ze glanced at Ji Yaohua, ignoring his cheerful demeanor and said to Mu Qingge, "He sent me a message claiming something urgent happened, begging me to come to save him."

"Save him?" Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua with curiosity.

This guy narrowly escaped danger, what does he need saving from?

Ji Yaohua chuckled, "I wasn’t lying to you, the saving part is true. But it’s not saving me; it’s someone else."

His reply made both Mu Qingge and Ying Ze frown simultaneously.

Then, Ji Yaohua lightly patted a few times, and footsteps approached from afar.

Mu Qingge and Ying Ze followed the sound and saw a graceful girl entering accompanied by a maid.

At this moment, Ji Yaohua spoke, "My father has been thinking of marrying Pianpian off lately, and plans to hold a marriage meeting. I figured my sister can’t just marry some random guy, so I thought of my two good brothers!"
