Gu Liyan hadn't expected that Mu Qing's cultivation would improve so rapidly after so many years apart. But what surprised him even more was that Mu Qing now had her own small territory and power.
Because the Snow Wolf and Red Fox lineages were almost slaughtered by the mysterious demon race back then, the Red Fox clan was nearly wiped out. The remaining Red Foxes from different regions fought each other. Mu Qing took advantage of this to gather most of the half-demon members of the Red Fox lineage and led this small force to seize control of half of the Red Fox lineage.
Although she doesn't have absolute power, she is still a little queen with her own territory.
At this time, Gu Liyan was still in the form of a little fox due to her severe injuries and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Mu Qing looked at Gu Liyan with a worried expression. There was not much food in the cave, and no resources to buy medicine for Gu Liyan's injuries. She also had no way to ask the orthodox Red Fox lineage for help, which made her feel helpless at this moment.
She was lost in thought for a long time without realizing it, and didn't even notice when Gu Liyan woke up.
Seeing her worried expression, Gu Liyan couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to you here?"
Mu Qing was taken aback. When she came to her senses and saw that Gu Liyan had already woken up, she hurriedly covered up and said, "No, no! That's not true. Don't overthink it."
Gu Liyan frowned, but did not directly expose her lie. He simply said softly, "Mu Qing, thank you."
Mu Qing smiled slightly, her beauty breathtaking. "Brother Gu, you saved me, and besides, a life-saving grace should be repaid with the greatest gratitude! Moreover, Brother Gu, didn't you say you would take care of me in place of my brother...?"
Gu Liyan squinted as if he was smiling, nodded, and then fell asleep again, exhausted.
Seeing Gu Liyan's exhausted appearance, Mu Qing stood up, her eyes filled with determination...
——
Mu Qing arrived at the Red Fox Clan and went directly to Chi Lang, the most famous fox doctor among the Red Foxes, to tell him about Gu Liyan's situation.
“Look at this situation… His wounds won’t heal, probably because he was injured by the imperial aura. And since he doesn’t have a demon core, he can’t gain any new demonic power. I think this kind of demon is beyond saving!” Chi Liang said bluntly. “He’s hopeless. You should just give up! You should send him to the afterlife as soon as possible!”
Mu Qing was sweating profusely with anxiety. "No way... Chi Liang, you're a miracle doctor, you should still have a way, right?"
"No, no, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!" Chi Liang waved his hand and started to chase him away. "Go, while he's still alive, you can spend more time with him!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing was overjoyed at the implication in his words. "Chi Lang, please tell me! Just tell me, and I'll do anything you ask! Please!"
"I've already said there's no way, you can leave!" Chi Liang remained unmoved.
Mu Qing gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground. "Divine Physician Chilang, please save him! I will do anything to save him!"
Chi Liang turned his head to look at the alluring Mu Qing, narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to pinch her chin, and said with a lewd smile, "You said you'd do anything?"
Mu Qing's expression changed. Although she had anticipated this outcome, the thought of saving Gu Liyan made her nod without hesitation, "Yes!"
——
Gu Liyan opened his eyes and found the little red fox Xiao Er preparing to change his dressing. "Why is it you... Where is Mu Qing?"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words after waking up, the waiter immediately said with displeasure, "Our boss isn't here!"
Gu Liyan frowned. "Then where did she go?"
"What business is it of yours where our boss goes?" The waiter applied the medicine to Gu Liyan's wound without any politeness, and occasionally patted it hard with his paw.
Gu Liyan remained unfazed and asked again, "Where did you get this medicine? Where did Mu Qing go?"
"I don't know, I don't know!" The waiter ignored him completely.
Gu Liyan's angry gaze was filled with murderous intent as he roared, "Answer me!"
Xiao Er's paws froze, and he was so frightened that he retreated. He couldn't believe that a little fox who was almost terminally ill could still have such a powerful aura.
"You, you mustn't do anything reckless..."
Gu Liyan cornered the waiter against the wall.
"Lord Qing agreed to be Chilang's experimental subject in order to save you!" Just then, Xiao San walked in.
"What? What experimental subject?" Gu Liyan frowned, looking puzzled.
"Chilang is not only a renowned doctor among our fox clan, but also a demon master for the entire demon race. He wants to use medicinal herbs to enhance the strength of half-demons, but in this entire territory, Lord Qing is the only human-shaped half-demon, so he requests Lord Qing's..."
Gu Liyan flew into a rage, “You bunch of idiots! Using drugs to enhance cultivation is against the natural order, it’s defying the heavens! Don’t you know that?!”
Xiao Er and Xiao San trembled. If that were true, what would become of Mu Qing...?
Gu Liyan stood up, gritted his teeth, and used the last of his demonic energy to transform into human form. The moment Xiao Er and Xiao San saw Gu Liyan in human form, their jaws nearly dropped!
It's unbelievable that such a beautiful person exists in this world, especially a male one!
Gu Liyan's face was pale, and he could only take out a mask and put it on. "Where is Chilang? Lead the way!"
The waiter was still stunned, but the third one immediately reacted and rushed forward, saying, "Come with me!"
——
Mu Qing was chained to a cage, while Chi Liang wore a maniacal smile. "Although I have to ruin your stunning beauty, you are truly the best candidate."
Mu Qing looked at him without fear and said, "Enough with the nonsense, just do it!"
Chi Liang chuckled, took out a small knife about the size of a finger, and stabbed it viciously into Mu Qing's face.
