Free Web NovelChapter 787: Chapter 222: She Is Special to Him (Part 1)
Mu Qingge had many questions she wanted to ask, but with Si Mo’s missing memories now, she didn’t know how to voice them.
She comforted him for a while and finally got Si Mo to sleep.
She could then calm down and check his body.
This examination made her frown deeply and worry incessantly.
Quietly exiting the small wooden house, her face blushed when she saw Demon Guards patrolling the surroundings.
"Cough, cough, Lord Junior Master he..." Gu Ya approached ambiguously, wanting to ask but hesitant.
Mu Qingge maintained a stern expression, her gaze sweeping over Gu Ya and Gu Ye, righteously saying, "What are you overthinking? I was just checking his body, and he’s sleeping now."
"Yes, yes, checking the body, we understand. No need to explain, Princess." Gu Ya lowered his head and said.
With that shift in address, Mu Qingge knew she spoke in vain.
However, now wasn’t the time to discuss these things.
She seriously said to the two, "Your master has forgotten about me."
"Ah?"
"Impossible!"
Gu Ya and Gu Ye looked at her in surprise.
Their master’s previous behavior was strange, but it didn’t seem like he’d forgotten the Junior Master!
"Cough, it’s like this..." Mu Qingge coughed lightly and briefly recounted what Si Mo had told her, naturally omitting parts that should be hidden.
After listening, Gu Ya and Gu Ye frowned tightly.
After a moment of silence, Gu Ya said, "Then what to do? We have heard of that Divine Emperor Li Yuan too, and in the Divine Clan, she holds a very high status and is quite aloof. Unexpectedly, she has set her sights on Your Majesty."
"And Your Majesty actually forgot the Princess." Gu Ye added.
Mu Qingge shook her head slowly, "The matters you’re worried about aren’t significant. No matter who Li Yuan is, daring to do this, it’s not just Si Mo who won’t forgive her, I won’t either. As for him forgetting me, it’s not a big deal. Although he doesn’t recall the events, he identifies me as his wife and his attitude towards me isn’t cold."
Upon hearing her words, Gu Ya and Gu Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They feared the Junior Master would feel dejected over being forgotten by Your Majesty and leave in anger.
"Then what are you worried about, Princess?" Gu Ye tentatively asked.
Mu Qingge sighed, her expression solemn, "I just checked his body, and the situation within him is very bad now. Originally, his old ailment required him to suppress it with cultivation. In this battle, his old ailment was triggered, and now the spiritual power within him is rampaging wildly."
The spiritual power surged turbulently, constantly impacting every part of the body.
To put it aptly, it’s like a completely closed kettle filled with boiling water, the steam unable to escape, incessantly colliding within the kettle.
It can be said Si Mo’s body is restoring each day yet damaging each day.
Such pain is beyond what ordinary people can endure. She couldn’t fathom how Si Mo managed to appear so calm.
"What should we do?" Gu Ya asked nervously.
Mu Qingge pressed her lips and furrowed her brows.
After a short pause, she said, "We can’t delay anymore. I’ll first use a Divine Level Elixir to alleviate him, then we need to leave here immediately and return to Taixuan Ancient Palace. Once we return, we can’t just stay, let him show himself, comforting those people, and then I have to take him away."
"Where to?" Gu Ye’s eyes flashed, hurriedly asking.
Mu Qingge’s gaze was clear, "East Continent Alchemy Academy!"
"East Continent Alchemy Academy?"
Gu Ya and Gu Ye both exclaimed in surprise.
They knew that was Mu Qingge’s destination all along, but taking Your Majesty there, why?
Mu Qingge explained, "My alchemy skill has reached a bottleneck, I need to go to Alchemy Academy to receive some new knowledge to break through it. The Alchemy Conference is a great opportunity to challenge Holy Level Elixir, once successful, I can refine Holy Level Elixirs to completely resolve Si Mo’s internal problems. His internal situation is like a dormant volcano, very unstable right now. So I must take him, just in case."
Gu Ye and Gu Ya understood.
"Alright, we’ll go prepare everything right away. Once Your Majesty wakes up, we’ll leave." Gu Ye nodded.
As soon as Gu Ya and Gu Ye departed, Mu Qingge saw a young Insect Clan girl secretly watching from beyond the Demon Guard stationed outside the wooden house.
This Insect Clan girl was not unfamiliar to Mu Qingge, she had seen her before.
Thinking for a moment, Mu Qingge walked over to her.
Seeing Mu Qingge approaching, Lingling seemed a bit flustered, wanting to run but unable to move her feet. In her heart, she actually wanted to talk to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge walked over and saw Lingling standing there, head down, hands tugging at each other.
Her awkward stance made it seem like she was the guest, and Mu Qingge was the host.
Amused, Mu Qingge spoke, "Miss, do you have something?"
"No! No, nothing." Lingling raised her head in a panic, waving her hands forcefully.
Her appearance was like a startled fawn, making Mu Qingge smile, "Don’t be afraid. Remember, this is your home."
Her words finally took effect.
Lingling’s flustered mood calmed a bit, she took a deep breath, said to Mu Qingge, "My name is Lingling, you can call me that. What’s your name? Are you truly his wife?" After saying this, she cautiously glanced towards the wooden house.
Mu Qingge was stunned, not expecting Lingling to ask such a question. But she still nodded, "Yes, I am his wife. My name is Mu Qingge."
"Mu Qingge... your name sounds beautiful." Lingling showed a sweet smile.
Her features didn’t belong to the pure type but rather carried a sunny wildness. It was precisely because of that vibrant youthful feeling that made her seem a bit innocent.
After expressing admiration for Mu Qingge’s name, she playfully stuck out her tongue and muttered with embarrassment, "I thought he wasn’t married."
Hmm?
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
Seeing her smile, Lingling hurriedly explained, "You... don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean it that way!" She said a bit bashfully, "I admit, I really like your husband. Because he’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. But now that I know he has a wife, I won’t continue liking him."
’This young girl is quite interesting.’ Mu Qingge thought with a laugh in her heart.
In fact, she didn’t know Lingling’s age, but the thoughts she revealed made Mu Qingge feel that this was just an innocent girl.
It’s understandable for a young girl to have a crush on a handsome man.
If someone likes Si Mo, doesn’t that prove her good taste?
"You’re very clever." Mu Qingge praised.
However, Lingling looked at her with confusion, not understanding what she meant. It took her a while to react. She said with embarrassment, "Actually, it’s not entirely because of your reason. I used to think he was handsome, but he didn’t say much, cold and hard to approach. But before you came, I noticed..."
A hint of fear appeared on Lingling’s expression. She cautiously looked around, seeing no one paying attention to her, she leaned closer to Mu Qingge and whispered, "He has no heart; he seems emotionless. Are you really happy marrying him? Would he threaten to kill you on a whim?"
Mu Qingge looked at Lingling with a smile on her lips. She could tell that this Insect Clan girl was asking out of concern for her. Of course, besides concern, there was also a hint of curiosity.
Curious about what?
Naturally curious about how the cold Si Mo would treat his wife.
Lingling’s honest look made Mu Qingge want to satisfy her curiosity. But for a moment, she didn’t know how to explain what was different about her with Si Mo or Si Mo with her.
As she was organizing her words, a voice suddenly came from the wooden house behind her.
"Little Ge’er."
Mu Qingge looked back and saw the tall, slender figure clad in black standing by the wooden house door.
Seeing Si Mo’s voice, Lingling’s face turned pale with fright, and she ran back, hiding behind a nearby wooden house. Using the house to shield her body, she just peeked out a little, watching from there.
Mu Qingge found her actions amusing. She had wanted to satisfy her curiosity, but now it seemed unnecessary.
Shaking her head, Mu Qingge turned and walked toward Si Mo.
At this moment, Si Mo also walked toward her.
Wherever he passed, the Demon Guards knelt down, looking at him with utmost reverence.
This was their king!
Their unparalleled king!
"You’re awake." Mu Qingge softly asked as she reached Si Mo.
Knowing Si Mo’s physical condition, she realized she now had a lot of patience and indulgence for him.
"Why not sleep a bit more?" Mu Qingge asked.
Resting was what Si Mo needed most right now.
Si Mo shook his head slowly, naturally taking Mu Qingge’s hand. In a cold tone, he said coquettishly, "I can’t sleep well without you by my side."
"..."
"..."
The kneeling Demon Guards gasped in shock, silently swallowing their surprise.
Was this their king?
Was it?
Was it?
Why did it feel so unreal? It seemed like they were seeing a large dog with a fierce exterior yet showing affectionate eyes, acting coy with their princess.
The Demon Guards wisely lowered their heads, trying hard to minimize their presence. They were afraid their master would realize this and kill them to silence them!
Si Mo’s words made Mu Qingge’s mouth twitch.
Si Mo, who forgot the past, had become... so domineering, yet so fond of acting coy!
This feeling made her unable to hate him!
"I just went out for a walk." Mu Qingge soothed him.
But Si Mo looked coldly at Lingling. That icy, emotionless gaze scared Lingling, who was hiding behind the wooden house and peeking, making her shrink back and hold her breath.
"Don’t talk to strangers casually." Si Mo withdrew his gaze and said to Mu Qingge.
"..." Mu Qingge parted her lips slightly, stunned by his words.
Yet, her slightly parted lips seemed like an invitation, making Si Mo’s eyes suddenly heat up.
