Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 698 - 133: The Twin Events of Luoxing City Begin (Double Update)

"If City Lord Mu goes, then I’ll go."

Xi Qianxue kicked the ball over to Mu Qingge, clearly intending to use her as a shield.

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she noticed a hint of hidden resentment in Xi Qianxue’s eyes. Uh... resentment? Why on earth was she looking at her like that? She hadn’t provoked her!

Well, alright, she did provoke her once before. However, she also let the Goddess take advantage once before, easily acquiring the elixir for breaking through.

They should be even by now!

As Mu Qingge was lost in thought, she noticed Ji Yaohua looking at her with a gossiping expression.

It seemed as if she was asking, with her eyes, what kind of relationship she had with the Goddess Xi.

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched again, and she gave everyone a faint smile, "Sorry, I have a lot to handle, so I must excuse myself. Farewell."

With that, she quickly and wisely left the place of contention.

Once she left, Xi Qianxue was both angry and annoyed in her heart, and with a stern face, she said to Ji Yaohua, "Since City Lord Mu isn’t going, I’ll take my leave as well."

After saying this, she gracefully left with her two maids, leaving behind a graceful back.

Ji Yaohua didn’t stop her; instead, after she left, he rubbed his chin with his fingers, muttering in thought, "I smell the scent of a scandal!"

Ying Ze glanced at him lightly and said, "I smell the scent of gossip."

Ji Yaohua was taken aback and immediately retorted, "Can’t you see that Goddess Xi seems different towards Qingge? Qingge’s reactions are also weird."

Ying Ze replied coldly, "I can’t see it. All I know is, if you want to kill your brother Mu, just keep pestering this matter." With that, he left Ji Yaohua with a cool back, walking out the door on the first floor.

Uh!

Ji Yaohua stood there alone, thinking over Ying Ze’s words, and finally smacked his forehead, muttering to himself, "I almost forgot! Xi Qianxue, this Goddess, can’t get married; if she gets entangled with someone, it might bring the temple and the Xi family’s wrath."

He breathed a sigh of relief, glad for his timely realization.

Suddenly, his face changed again, and he chased after Mu Qingge, thinking, ’No! I need to warn Qingge, or he might fall under the Goddess’s spell, lose his mind, and do something foolish!’

...

In the City Lord Mansion, Ji Yaohua found Mu Qingge when she was sorting out some final affairs.

"Qingge, let me tell you, that Goddess is not to be messed with, it’ll lead to big trouble!" The moment they met, Ji Yaohua quickly warned.

Mu Qingge looked at him with a strange expression and said, "I think it’s you who wants to mess with her."

"Oh, I was just momentarily confused, forgot her identity. Do you know a Goddess can’t marry? You should take Brother Ji’s advice, stop thinking about the Goddess Xi. Look at the beautiful women around you, why provoke her and incur the temple’s wrath?" Ji Yaohua said.

Mu Qingge said helplessly, "I don’t plan to provoke her, and what you’re worried about won’t happen."

"Are you sure?" Ji Yaohua asked, still worried.

Mu Qingge nodded, "I’m sure!" She’s a woman, how could she go after Xi Qianxue?

"Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing, I won’t say more." After saying this, Ji Yaohua mumbled to himself as he left.

Watching his back, Mu Qingge smiled faintly.

This person, when they first met, seemed like a madman, reckless. But now, after more contact, he actually doesn’t mean any harm.

...

The next day, those holding invitations all gathered towards the City Lord Mansion of Luoxing City.

Having arrived in Luoxing City for several days, today was the main event!

Firstly, Luoxing City officially announced its establishment to the world, along with the declaration of a series of policies.

Secondly, the latest Holy Artifact from the Sang Clan was to be unveiled today in Luoxing City for everyone to admire!

How many people came just for this second event?

On this day, the City Lord Mansion of Luoxing City gathered the key figures from all the major forces, and the big families, of the Middle Ancient Realm.

"Everyone, please!"

Outside the City Lord Mansion, Dragon Teeth stood imposingly, lined up in two rows, with countless maids flitting around like butterflies, guiding the guests to their arranged seats.

The banquet wasn’t held inside the hall.

Instead, it was on a square outside the hall, which was large enough to accommodate the attendees and provide ample space for displays.

Soon, all those who received invites had entered the City Lord Mansion and were seated in their places.

In the center of the square, the incense used for timing finally burned out.

This also means the banquet has begun.

The maids in the City Lord Mansion filled the wine glasses on each table they were responsible for.

Amid everyone’s anticipation, Mu Qingge finally appeared before them, bringing along her entourage. She was adorned in enchanting red attire, wrapped in skin armor, her extraordinary beauty with indistinguishable male and female features brought more vibrancy to the entire banquet.

On one side of her were the Sang family members, while on the other were Mo Yang, Yin Chen, Mei Zizhong, Mu Chen, Xuan Ya, Xie Ya, You He, and others who had accompanied her along the way.

Bai Xi did not come because she truly disliked such occasions, and even though Mu Qingge invited her, she preferred to hide in a dark room and sleep.

Thus, Mu Qingge did not force her.

Jing Hai also did not come; ever since he learned about Yuanyuan’s situation, he had become very silent, engaging in endless training and cultivation every day, almost like a madman, completely uninterested in attending such a banquet.

Mu Qingge stood before the City Lord’s position, scanning the crowd of guests with her clear and transparent gaze.

Among these people, most were unfamiliar to her, but it did not hinder her good mood today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Luoxing City," Mu Qingge spoke indifferently. She imbued her voice with spiritual power, ensuring that everyone in Luoxing City could hear it.

Even if you weren’t in the City Lord Mansion, you could still hear her speaking.

"I am Mu Qingge, the City Lord of Luoxing City. Luoxing City is the city of Dragon Teeth, and it is also my city. Perhaps, until now, you sitting here did not know that in the Middle Ancient Realm, there is such a place, such a city. But I firmly believe that in the near future, everyone on this continent will know about Luoxing City and witness its glory!" As Mu Qingge finished speaking, the sound of deep horns resonated both inside and outside the square.

Those horns made from the long horns of spirit beasts echoed with a deep and distant sound, continuously emanating from Luoxing City and drifting into the sky.

When the sound of the horns gradually subsided, Mu Qingge continued: "Of course, many of you may not believe my words, might ridicule me in your hearts as presumptuous or imprudent. It doesn’t matter; facts will prove everything. Just remember, today is the day I am proclaiming the existence of Luoxing City to the world, and I also welcome all talents to join Luoxing City and build its glory with us!"

Boom!

Boom Boom!

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, prompting the guests at the banquet to look up.

Mu Qingge’s speech wasn’t long-winded, nor did it give anyone the opportunity for sarcasm. Because she had already stated, whether you believe it or not, facts will speak, and before facts present themselves, all doubts and satire are meaningless.

This actually made it difficult for those who were initially keen on making sarcastic remarks to speak up.

Mu Qingge’s bright eyes swept over everyone, witnessing their reactions with a faint smile on her lips.

When the fireworks ended and the quiet returned, she continued: "Today, aside from announcing the establishment of Luoxing City, there is another matter to inform everyone. This matter is that henceforth, the weapons crafted by the Sang Clan will only be retailed in Luoxing City. Other than Luoxing City, no other place will sell Sang Clan weapons."

The crowd was in an uproar!

"What!"

"Can they really do that?"

"It’s practically a blatant monopoly!"

"Precisely! It is a monopoly," Mu Qingge replied to the comment amidst the chatter. She softly curled her lips and said to the shocked crowd: "So, in the future, if you desire Sang Clan’s weapons, you will have to come to my Luoxing City. Of course, if you have large orders, you may also directly negotiate with the Sang Clan, whose clan leader is here."

Mu Qingge pointed to King Sang Shun, who looked at Mu Qingge with a smile in his eyes and stood up to address everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am King Sang Shun, the clan leader of the Sang Clan. Qingge is my granddaughter, and also the only Holy Level Refiner in our Sang Clan for a thousand years. She is correct, from now on, the weapons produced by the Sang Clan will be managed entirely by Luoxing City. In Luoxing City, a Sang Clan weapon shop will also be established, including some stores for purchasing refining materials."

Han Caicai sat among the crowd, listening to these words, and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

With Mu Qingge orchestrating this way, the business of his Wanxiang Building might suffer loss after loss. Yet, he couldn’t voice any opposition, not only because he had no grounds for it but also because the person deciding this matter was Mu Qingge!

"Does this mean Luoxing City will become a permanent city for the Flowing Guest Realm?" someone joked.

By the tone, it seemed to be a Floating Guest speaking.

Mu Qingge chuckled, nodding: "Indeed! Luoxing City is full of business opportunities, and its main businesses are weapons and elixirs. Both are most favored by Floating Guests."

After saying all that needed to be said, Mu Qingge turned to look at the red silk hung on the wall of the hall behind her.

Lifting her hand, the red silk fell, revealing what was covered behind it.

"What is this!"

"It seems like a totem!"

The guests attending the banquet stood up one by one, craning their necks to look at the wall.

On the wall hung a piece of black iron like a shield, with a character engraved on it. No one recognized the character; it looked like a pattern, yet seemed like a script. However, it was quite memorable.

Next to the character was an intricately carved totem, and the entire black iron exuded power and dominance, with an imposing aura!

"This is the totem of Luoxing City. It symbolizes the emblem of this city!" Mu Qingge introduced to the crowd, pointing to the black iron.

Once she finished speaking, the guests realized that the maids serving them were all embroidered with a smaller version of the character, exquisitely and uniquely matching the large character on the wall.

"Luoxing City is now officially established. Next, we move on to the second task!" Mu Qingge’s words immediately invigorated everyone.
