Chapter 677 - 112: You Saved Me (19 Updates)
In the quiet courtyard of the Sang Family, Mu Qingge sat silently on a rocking chair under the tree.
She had just woken up and was still unclear about some things.
Soon, Mu Chen, Mu Peng, and even the High Priest came before her. Even Hou, who had already terminated the contract, was present.
"You haven’t left?" Mu Qingge asked in surprise.
She thought that once the contract with Hou was dissolved, he would leave immediately.
Hou glanced towards the room behind Mu Qingge, from which a terrifying aura emanated. With a sour tone, he said, "My body hasn’t recovered yet, so I’ll stay by your side for now." After speaking, he awkwardly tugged at the gold ring on his neck.
Seeing the gold ring, Mu Qingge recalled that while she had dissolved the contract with Hou, she hadn’t removed the Mother and Child Rings.
But now was not the time to discuss those things. She said to the few people, "Tell me, what happened after I fell into a coma? Where is Jiang Li?"
At the mention of Jiang Li...
Both Mu Chen and Mu Peng fell silent, and even Hou averted his gaze into the distance, unwilling to speak.
The expressions on their faces made Mu Qingge’s heart sink. She pressed further, "What exactly happened!"
Among the three, Mu Chen unwillingly stepped forward and said to Mu Qingge, "After the Young Master fell into a coma, Mu Tianyin suddenly enhanced his cultivation and crossed the critical point of Cold Inch, causing Cold Inch to begin collapsing. We took the Young Master and fled towards the Green Forest, but Mu Tianyin pursued relentlessly. In the end, Miss Jiang stayed behind to hold him off..."
At this point, both Mu Chen and Mu Peng knelt on the ground, pleading for forgiveness from Mu Qingge, "Young Master, please punish us!"
"What are you saying!" Mu Qingge stood up from the chair, clear eyes radiating a sharp light.
"Qingge." Suddenly, Si Mo’s voice came from the room, dissipating Mu Qingge’s aura of intensity.
"You all may leave," Si Mo added.
This sentence, however, was directed at the others present.
Upon hearing these words, only Hou turned and left immediately, while the remaining three looked towards Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge, with a calm expression, nodded at them, and they left.
Once they were gone, Si Mo appeared before Mu Qingge. He embraced her on the rocking chair, gently stroking her long hair to comfort her, "Don’t worry, she should be fine."
"You know?" Mu Qingge looked at him, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Si Mo nodded and began to recount to Mu Qingge how he had saved Jiang Li upon his arrival and what transpired afterward.
"Are you saying that Jiang Li was sucked into a time-space black hole?" After listening, Mu Qingge sought confirmation from Si Mo.
Si Mo nodded slightly, "Correct. It happened rather suddenly at the time, and I was anxious to find you, so I missed the best opportunity to save her. However, don’t worry. Being sucked into a time-space black hole means she’s either drifting in the void or pulled into another world. I will send people to search and see if she is adrift in the void; if not, she has fallen into another world."
"How can I find her then?" Mu Qingge asked.
Si Mo smiled, "When your cultivation reaches its peak, and you have the ability to break the boundaries between worlds and travel freely, you’ll be able to find her."
Jiang Li is safe...
This news slightly eased the tension in Mu Qingge’s heart.
If even Jiang Li had died, she truly wouldn’t know how to adjust her currently suppressed and agitated emotions.
As long as Jiang Li is alive, one day she will bring her back!
Determination surfaced in Mu Qingge’s clear eyes.
"The person who hurt you, I didn’t kill him. He possesses a Boundary-breaking Talisman of the Divine Clan, allowing him to instantly return to the Divine Demon Continent. Moreover, I thought you might want to kill him yourself," Si Mo said.
Mu Qingge slowly nodded, "It’s good that you didn’t kill him. I’ll personally settle this blood debt with him!" Following her words, intense hatred gleamed in her eyes.
"Although I didn’t kill him, I didn’t let him off easily. I estimate that after returning, he will be unable to cultivate for ten years, and his previous cultivation will suffer damage, affecting his innate talents," Si Mo told Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge looked at Si Mo in surprise, finally nodding, "Well done!"
"How did you come here?" Ending this topic, Mu Qingge inquired again.
Si Mo shook his head helplessly, looking at Mu Qingge with a pained expression, "I only regret coming too late, causing you to suffer such harm."
Mu Qingge felt a pang in her heart.
Harm?
Actually, she hadn’t suffered much injury, as her Illusionary Artifact on her ear remained intact.
Yet, she couldn’t deny that this time she had endured the greatest pain. For not only was Yuanyuan gone, but the Linglong Spear was broken, and even Jiang Li was missing.
And all of this was caused by Mu Tianyin!
Therefore, Mu Tianyin must die by her hands! Though she cannot kill him now, one day, she will go to the Divine Demon Continent and take his life!
"Don’t think too much, everything is over now." Si Mo softly comforted her by her ear.
Mu Qingge swallowed the pain in her heart, took a deep breath, and said to Si Mo, "When I was fighting Mu Tianyin, I realized my power of thunder and lightning was gone..."
Mu Qingge raised her hand, and suddenly, wisps of electric sparks appeared, winding around her fingers.
"How could this happen!" Mu Qingge exclaimed in surprise.
She clearly wanted to use the power of thunder and lightning during the fight, but couldn’t summon it at all. At the time, she didn’t have the opportunity to think about it, only how to deal with Mu Tianyin.
But now...
Looking at the current in her hand, Mu Qingge couldn’t explain it.
"Could it be that Ge’er had fused a rich bloodline before?" Si Mo suddenly said.
Mu Qingge was stunned, nodded. She first absorbed the bloodline of the Sang Family and then the bloodline of the Mu Clan in Cold Inch. ’Could it be...’
Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up, looking at Si Mo. "The disappearance of my thunder and lightning power, was it related to the bloodline?"
Si Mo nodded, "You absorbed the bloodline power and awakened your own bloodline within. However, since the awakening is recent, your internal bloodline is still adapting, which affects some of your previous abilities. Now, you’ve undergone nirvana by burning your lifespan, which is equivalent to being reborn, allowing the absorbed bloodline to better integrate with your own, removing the influence, so naturally, the thunder and lightning power has returned."
"So that’s how it is." Mu Qingge murmured.
She didn’t know if having the thunder and lightning power when fighting Mu Tianyin would have turned the tide, but now that it’s over, she wouldn’t dwell on it anymore.
"I was thinking before that after waking you up, you should seize the time to cultivate, break through into the Golden Realm as soon as possible, to make up for the lifespan you’ve lost. Unexpectedly, the injected lifespan facilitated the fusion of the bloodline within you, revitalizing and instantly replenishing your lost lifespan." Si Mo couldn’t help but reach out to touch her ink-like hair.
Mu Qingge smiled faintly, also lifting her hair to see, "If you hadn’t said so, I wouldn’t believe I had silver hair not long ago."
After speaking, she collected her smile and said to Si Mo, "Was it Sang Lanruo who gave me the lifespan?"
Si Mo nodded, which made Mu Qingge silent.
...
Mu Qingge walked alone to the small courtyard where Sang Lanruo resided, and before she got close, she heard a faint cough from inside. Her expression was complicated as she approached slowly, as if things entangled in her heart were gradually drifting away.
"Mother, this ginseng soup was prepared by grandfather. Drinking it can restore some primordial energy." Mu Qingge heard Xuewu’s voice as she approached the door.
Along with it, there was a sigh from King Sang Shun.
Mu Qingge looked up and saw the three people in the room.
Sang Lanruo was sitting on the bed, her elderly body leaning against the bedpost, coughing repeatedly. Xuewu was sitting by the bed, carefully feeding the ginseng soup. King Sang Shun sat on a nearby stool, constantly sighing.
This scene caused Mu Qingge’s eyes to flicker as she knocked on the door frame.
The sound startled the three people inside, and when they looked at Mu Qingge standing outside the door, they were stunned by her black hair and then delighted.
"Big sister! You’ve recovered!" Xuewu stood up excitedly and walked towards Mu Qingge.
King Sang Shun was also filled with joy and relief, at least his daughter’s efforts were not in vain.
The most excited was Sang Lanruo, who, seeing Mu Qingge standing in front of her safe and sound, struggled to get up from the bed, eventually stopped by King Sang Shun.
Mu Qingge nodded to the three, walked to the bedside, and sat in the position Xuewu had previously occupied.
"Give me your hand." Mu Qingge looked at Sang Lanruo and said.
Honestly, the sight of Sang Lanruo gave her an indescribable feeling; she couldn’t connect this elderly woman with the Sang Lanruo she knew before.
"Ge’er." Sang Lanruo looked at her with affection while obediently extending her hand.
’This skin...’ Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on the wrinkled skin, pursed her lips, and placed both hands on Sang Lanruo’s pulse gate.
"Ge’er, can you diagnose pulses?" King Sang Shun asked in surprise when he saw her actions.
But Mu Qingge did not reply. Instead, after finishing the pulse diagnosis, she conjured a fragrant elixir mid-air and handed it to Sang Lanruo.
"This is a Divine Level Elixir!" King Sang Shun immediately exclaimed.
"Consume it, and it will restore thirty years of your lifespan," Mu Qingge said to Sang Lanruo. Unlike her, Sang Lanruo was already conscious despite losing lifespan; taking the elixir would be effective.
"I can’t accept such a precious elixir." Sang Lanruo pushed the elixir back.
However, Mu Qingge directly took the elixir and placed it into Sang Lanruo’s mouth. The elixir dissolved instantly, making it impossible for Sang Lanruo to spit it out.
"You child, such a precious elixir should be kept; how can you let me take it?" Sang Lanruo said urgently. But upon eating it, she felt vitality awaken within her.
Mu Qingge remained silent, waved her hand, and another elixir bottle appeared in her hand. She handed it to Sang Lanruo, "Take one a day, and let me know when it’s finished."
King Sang Shun directly took the elixir bottle from Sang Lanruo’s hand, opened it to take a look, and raised his head in shock, "They’re all Divine Level Elixirs!"
