The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 54 – Lord of the Divine City: Loli Sister Qiong

Ancient Divine City.

Originating from the era of creation, its walls tower over ten thousand feet high, connecting the heavens above and the netherworld below. The city exudes a mysterious and majestic aura, with an ancient and weathered atmosphere greeting anyone who approaches.

Countless foreign tribes come and go through the city gates. There are the half-beast tribe with beast heads and human bodies, the pure soul tribe, the angel tribe with six wings on their backs, and the beautiful spirit tribe...

A young man in a blue robe, his eyes covered with black silk, leaned on a blind man's staff at the city gate, smiling gently as he conversed with the gate guards:

"Though I am human, I too am a foreigner in a strange land. We share the same plight, so why not let me in?"

This man was none other than Meng Qingzhou. When Black Star exploded, he jumped into the river of time and space and was accidentally transported near the Ancient Divine City!

After wandering in the wild for two days, listening to birdsong and smelling the flowers, he somehow ended up at the city gate.

At first, he was confused, not knowing where he was. After asking around, he gradually learned that this was the Ancient Divine City!

The lair of the ancient beast—'Qiong'!

In the later stages of the novel, this Ancient Divine City shines brilliantly. Imagine a city with consciousness, capable of unleashing power beyond the Morning Glow Realm in times of crisis, coupled with the ancient beast 'Qiong' in the late Morning Glow Realm. Once it emerges, it naturally causes a sensation.

In the novel's plot, the overpowered protagonist Zhao Gou, after successfully helping the King of Shu seize the throne of Great Jin and becoming the crown prince, starts touring his kingdom and discovers the Ancient Divine City. With the protagonist's halo, he forms an alliance with the city, becoming mutual allies.

However, the majority of the city's residents are foreign tribes whose homelands were destroyed by humans. They harbor deep hatred for humans and do not allow them to set foot on this sacred land.

The gate guard was a six-winged angel, with a perfect figure and a sweet, melodious voice. The angel girl eyed the young man in the blue robe warily and said sharply:

"No way, you human scum, full of lies! Don't think you can deceive me!"

"Two days ago, two human cultivators used the same excuse to sneak in. You humans, using the same excuse twice, are insulting my intelligence!"

Meng Qingzhou frowned.

Two days ago, two human cultivators entered the Ancient Divine City using the same excuse as him.

However, Meng Qingzhou wasn't desperate to enter the city. He just found it peaceful and thought it would be a great place to hide.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Meng Qingzhou asked one last time.

If not, he would return to Great Jin, continue fulfilling his agreement with the Empress, serve as an official for two or three years, and then travel the world with Dongfang Liuli.

The six-winged angel girl was about to refuse but suddenly remembered something and said:

"Recently, a plague has broken out in the city, infecting more than half of the foreign tribes. If you have medical skills, you can stay in the city as a doctor, and the payment will be according to the royal physician's rate."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingzhou suddenly remembered something.

The plague in the Ancient Divine City was related to an important plot point.

The ancient beast—'Qiong', born a deity with a long lifespan but extremely slow breakthroughs, incomparable to human cultivators, had to endure a divine calamity every hundred years. Surviving meant living, failing meant death.

This plague in the Ancient Divine City was actually 'Qiong' undergoing a divine calamity, accidentally leaking the source of pollution and infecting the city's residents.

"I know a bit of medicine, I can give it a try," Meng Qingzhou said with a smile.

Wasn't this a coincidence? He had been wanting to feel the touch of an ancient beast, and now the opportunity had come.

He remembered the description of the ancient beast—'Qiong' in the book.

[Qiong, after a thousand years, transformed into a human, a delicate and soft little loli, with white silk and a black skirt, a proud tsundere ghost, and a pair of furry beast ears, with a reclusive personality, hard to get along with, but once befriended, would stick to you like a little dog.]

In the original story, Sister Qiong was so tsundere that she even looked down on the overpowered protagonist.

Meng Qingzhou didn't expect much, just wanted to gain an ally.

"Qiong has a reclusive personality and doesn't like making enemies. If I can cure the city's residents, I will surely gain her friendship. If the Empress dares to go back on her word and force me to stay, I will have a backup plan and can call on Sister Qiong for help."

With this in mind, Meng Qingzhou decisively accepted the task.

Thus, Meng Qingzhou successfully entered the Ancient Divine City as a doctor.

However, before that, the six-winged angel girl followed him closely, preventing any human cultivator from causing trouble.

"Human, I need to check your medical skills. If you dare to deceive me, I will bury your head in the ground!" the six-winged angel girl threatened sweetly.

"How do you want to check?" Meng Qingzhou asked indifferently.

He had maxed out his medical skills three years ago. How could he roam the rivers and lakes without knowing some medicine?

Moreover, he didn't need particularly high-level medical skills. The plague in the city wasn't a disease but a divine calamity's leakage.

After breaking through the Moon Shine Realm, Meng Qingzhou's control over the path of time and space had deepened, and he had many ways to remove the divine calamity's leakage.

"Follow me," the six-winged angel girl said disdainfully.

Meng Qingzhou couldn't see, so he naturally ignored her disdainful gaze and nodded with a smile, "Alright, lead the way."

The six-winged angel girl led Meng Qingzhou to a rundown clinic along the street.

The clinic was dilapidated, covered in cobwebs, with a musty smell in the air, and the signboard was rusted.

"Please help me clean up," Meng Qingzhou said.

"Human, don't you have hands?" the six-winged angel girl retorted unceremoniously.

Meng Qingzhou pointed to the black silk covering his eyes and said, "Please forgive me, I am blind and can't do such laborious work."

The six-winged angel girl was stunned and leaned in to take a closer look, "Huh! Isn't it just a decoration?"

Then she became puzzled and said, "A blind person can be a doctor? Human, you must be deceiving me! Absolutely!"

"Rest assured, I am just a powerless doctor. Staying in a city full of foreign tribes that hate humans, wouldn't deceiving you be seeking my own death?" Meng Qingzhou said calmly.

The six-winged angel girl thought for a moment.

That's true!

This was her territory. If a blind human dared to deceive her, she would clean him up and send him to the brothel for those foreign women who liked to mate with human males to enjoy.

"Wait here," the six-winged angel girl said. Then, her six wings spread out, emitting a holy light, and she chanted, "Holy light, please cleanse the filth and decay."

In a flash, the clinic was instantly renewed.

Meng Qingzhou sniffed the air, the musty smell was gone, replaced by a refreshing fragrance.

He ran his fingers over the tables and chairs, feeling the smoothness without any dust.

"Not bad, now let's get to the main point," Meng Qingzhou said calmly, "How do you want to test my medical skills?"

The six-winged angel girl puffed out her chest, her white and proud assets particularly eye-catching, and said:

"Simple, I am also infected with the plague. Cure me, and it will prove you have the ability."

Meng Qingzhou nodded slightly.

Indeed simple. This girl had a decent cultivation level, at the early Mountain Moving Realm, probably not an ordinary gate guard.

More likely a member of the angel guard corps, a group of angelic elegant ladies forming a female army under Sister Qiong.

When Sister Qiong undergoes tribulation, the first to be infected are the angel guard corps.

"Give me your hand," Meng Qingzhou said.

The six-winged angel girl hesitated, gave Meng Qingzhou a disdainful look, but eventually extended her fair and jade-like wrist.

Meng Qingzhou pressed her wrist with three fingers, a trace of Sword Sense of Time and Space entering her body, probing inch by inch.

In an instant, the six-winged angel girl felt as if her entire body was being caressed by a man's rough hands, her delicate body trembled, and goosebumps appeared on her soft white skin.

"Ah! Hu...human, what are you doing!" the six-winged angel girl blushed with embarrassment and quickly withdrew her hand.

She then drew the angel sword from her waist and said fiercely:

"I know it, you're a filthy pervert with a dirty mind, taking advantage of me. I'll bury your head in the dung pit!"

Meng Qingzhou ignored her and said calmly:

"I found the cause of the illness. Now, take off your pants, I need to give you an injection."

As soon as he said this, the angel sword in the six-winged angel girl's hand clattered to the ground, and she stood there in a daze.

Take off her pants?!

"The City Lord was right, humans are scum! I'll stick your head into a wolf tribe's butt!"

Meng Qingzhou shrugged helplessly and said:

"Your illness is complicated. The infection source has spread from your shoulder to your buttocks. To completely remove it, I either need to give you an injection or use my sword."

"And I'm blind, I can't see, so calling me a pervert is a bit much."

The six-winged angel girl's face turned red with anger and embarrassment, her fair cheeks alternating between green and red. After a long struggle, she finally made up her mind, bit her lip, and with a look of shame and anger mixed with disdain, she muttered, "Scum!"

Just as the angel girl was trembling, holding her waistband, and slowly pulling down her pants.

Meng Qingzhou suddenly raised his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll use my sword, it's quicker and easier."

With that, Meng Qingzhou condensed a trace of Sword Sense of Time and Space at his fingertip and shot it into the angel girl's body, transferring the divine calamity's pollution to an alternate space.

The Sword Sense of Time and Space tracked the pollution through her meridians, shattering it all the way to her buttocks...

The angel girl didn't have time to react, her delicate body trembling, her legs involuntarily clamping together.

"Sc...scum, you deserve to die," the angel girl said, tears welling up in her golden eyes, feeling humiliated.

"Don't be in a hurry to curse me. Feel carefully, don't you feel relieved, as if the tormenting pain is slowly fading?" Meng Qingzhou said calmly.

Hearing this, the angel girl was stunned, then turned her anger into joy, and said excitedly:

"Really! I used to itch so badly, as if bugs were gnawing at my bones. If it weren't for the angel tribe's incredible willpower, I wouldn't even be able to stand."

"Two human cultivators who sneaked into the Ancient Divine City also opened a clinic nearby, claiming they could cure the plague. But after several days, there was no progress. Doctor, you are truly amazing!"

The angel girl was instantly convinced, plucking a white feather from her wing and handing it to Meng Qingzhou with both hands.

"I have no other payment to give you. This is a sacred feather I refined, it can ward off evil and nightmares, and wearing it can clear the mind. Please accept it."

Meng Qingzhou didn't refuse and gladly accepted the feather, storing it in his storage ring.

The angel girl was in high spirits.

She was happy that the plague was cured, her body recovered, and also relieved that she didn't turn Meng Qingzhou away, otherwise, they would have lost a great doctor.

"Doctor, what was that technique you used? It felt like a swoosh into my butt, it was uncomfortable at first, then it just felt good," the angel girl asked, her big innocent eyes full of curiosity.

Meng Qingzhou couldn't help but facepalm, silently chanting that children speak without malice.

Although the angel girl was not young, probably at least a hundred years old, her mind was less mature than a ten-year-old human child.

"Secret technique, can't be disclosed," Meng Qingzhou waved his hand, refusing to answer.

The Space-Time Sword Saint was famous worldwide, and the Sword Sense of Time and Space was the hallmark of Qian Yuan Sword Saint, it must not be revealed.

"Oh, okay," the angel girl said, slightly disappointed.

Meng Qingzhou asked, "So, do I have the qualification to stay in the city now?"

The angel girl nodded eagerly, "Of course, of course, I'll report to the City Lord right away and announce it to the whole city to prove it."

Meng Qingzhou smiled slightly.

So complicated, isn't it just a medical license?

After the angel girl left, Meng Qingzhou familiarized himself with the layout of the house, then tidied up the clinic, taking out some flowers and plants from his storage ring to place at the door.

"Well, let's take this opportunity to experience the customs of the Ancient Divine City and reluctantly stay for half a month."

Meng Qingzhou then took out his beloved recliner and lay down comfortably.

Ah.

This was the feeling, the long-lost solitary life had begun again.

However, just as he lay down, an uninvited guest arrived, breaking Meng Qingzhou's peace.

In front of the clinic, a woman in red stood at the door, quietly watching Meng Qingzhou, and suddenly said:

"Minister Meng, you seem to be enjoying yourself. Just arrived at the Ancient Divine City and already met an angel girl. I didn't quite understand your conversation, care to explain?"

Dongfang Liuli, with her Morning Glow Realm cultivation, had arrived at the Ancient Divine City in just a few minutes. In the entire city, except for the reclusive ancient beast Sister Qiong, no one had a higher cultivation level than her, making her free to come and go.

After wandering the city aimlessly for half a day, just as Dongfang Liuli was feeling disheartened and considering heading to the Buddhist Kingdom in the west, she heard a familiar voice in front of a clinic.

Then she heard the angel girl's shocking words.

Something about a swoosh into... initially uncomfortable, then it felt good...

Dongfang Liuli had read forbidden books and couldn't help but imagine. Seeing the angel girl come out with weak legs and a blushing face almost confirmed her suspicions!

At this moment, the joy Dongfang Liuli felt upon hearing Meng Qingzhou's voice a few seconds ago had vanished, replaced by a strong sense of jealousy, her eyes red, her gaze cold and angry, staring fiercely at Meng Qingzhou.

Even while catching someone in the act, Dongfang Liuli didn't forget to use a fake voice, maintaining her contract wife identity with Meng Qingzhou.

"Liuli!?" Meng Qingzhou sat up in shock, as if a spring had been installed under him, bouncing up instantly.
