Chapter 1138: Chapter 223: I Can Cure Her! So, What’s the Price? (Fifth Update)

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The two Mountain Charm maidens were instantly terrified and flustered when they saw Yin Le suddenly faint.

"Hou!" Mu Qingge shouted.

In fact, as she called out, Hou had already moved, catching Yin Le into his arms as she fell to the ground.

As Yin Le suddenly fainted, Mu Qingge no longer paid attention to the scene in the mirror but walked directly to Yin Le, crouched down, and checked her pulse.

As she checked the pulse, she noticed that Yin Le was a member of the Mountain Charm, and Mountain Charm are transformed from the Charm Fruit, so their meridians and internal structure should logically differ from humans.

However, she was surprised by the result of the pulse checking.

Yin Le’s internal structure was exactly the same as a human. If she didn’t say it herself, no one would suspect she wasn’t of the Human Clan.

The surprise was taken back by Mu Qingge without showing any emotion.

After checking the pulse, she didn’t find anything wrong with Yin Le. Her pulse was stable, as if she were merely asleep. Yet, how could she unexpectedly fall asleep without any warning?

Mu Qingge raised her clear eyes and looked at the anxious Mountain Charm maidens, asking, "What happened to your Empress?"

The Mountain Charm maidens exchanged a glance, the unease in their eyes gradually calming.

One of them said to Mu Qingge, "Our Empress has had a strange illness that started thousands of years ago. She falls asleep unexpectedly every once in a while; it’s hard to know when she’ll wake up. We don’t know the specifics; we just know that the Prince personally guards her each time, saying she has hypersomnia."

"Hypersomnia?" Mu Qingge murmured softly.

After a moment of silence, she said to the two maidens, "Since it’s an old ailment, let the Empress rest first, and deal with it when the Prince returns."

"Yes!" The Mountain Charm maidens stood up respectfully.

Mu Qingge gave Hou a look, and the latter immediately understood, lifting the unconscious Yin Le into his arms, and said to the two Mountain Charm maidens, "Lead the way."

This... having their Empress in the embrace of an outsider seemed inappropriate.

The Mountain Charm maidens exchanged a glance.

However, they knew Yin Le’s special affection for Hou, being her close maidservants. So, after a brief hesitation, they turned to lead the way.

Hou carried Yin Le away, while Mu Qingge remained where she was, standing in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, the Dragon Emperor’s expression was quite unpleasant, but he continued to defiantly meet Yin Jue’s gaze. At this moment, both Mu Qingge and Yin Jue could see that the Dragon Emperor was beginning to relent, wanting to compromise, but couldn’t bring himself to say it.

A lone Hou, not intimidating.

The solitude of the Mountain Charm Clan, also manageable.

But these two joining forces... made the Dragon Emperor rethink the cost of continuing revenge. At the very least, not in such a blatant manner... No, wait! The Mountain Charm had already said, if something happened to Hou, all the blame would fall on the Dragon Clan. Yet... if Hou were dead, even though the Mountain Charm Clan would be troublesome, it was not insurmountable.

The Dragon Emperor quickly analyzed and evaluated the pros and cons in his mind.

The scene reached a stalemate, and Yin Jue did not urge, patiently waiting for the Dragon Emperor’s final decision.

Mu Qingge stood before the mirror, observing the Dragon Emperor’s expression, guessing nearly everything that was on his mind. However, she cared little, merely smiling coldly.

The True Dragon Blood, she hadn’t collected enough yet.

If the Dragon Clan continued to court death, she wouldn’t mind continuing to dig out Dragon Hearts, refining True Blood.

"Qingge!" Hou returned quickly.

He returned with such speed, not to see the Dragon Clan’s disgrace. After returning, he didn’t even glance at the mirror, only looked seriously at Mu Qingge and asked, "What’s wrong with Yin Le? What’s this hypersomnia?"

Mu Qingge laughed, "You seem quite concerned about her."

"Ah, well, we did know each other," Hou said, scratching his head in annoyance.

Mu Qingge stopped teasing and joking, collecting her playful expression, and said to him, "I can’t be certain yet. Judging from the pulse, she’s just asleep. But, from the Dan God’s legacy, I vaguely recall a condition similar to Yin Le’s situation."

"What is it?" Hou asked urgently.

Mu Qingge’s gaze deepened, "Soul Destruction Syndrome."

"Soul Destruction Syndrome?" Hou asked in confusion.

Mu Qingge nodded, "This symptom causes the patient to unexpectedly lose consciousness every certain period, as if asleep. But in reality, her Divine Soul enters a state of apparent death. Upon waking, everything seems normal, with no sign detected. Yet each time she undergoes false death, her Divine Soul thins. When her Divine Soul is as thin as paper, it will be her soul’s demise."

"What! Do you have a way?" Hou asked anxiously.

Mu Qingge did not answer his question but instead looked towards the mirror.

At this point, the Dragon Emperor had made a decision. He said to Yin Jue, "Fine! I will take my clan and leave, I can put a lid on this matter for now. If Hou ever dares provoke our Dragon Clan again, we will fight him to the death!"

His gaze flickered, and Yin Jue noticed but didn’t reveal it.

Yin Jue smiled, nodded slightly, and waved, the Soul Refining Whip returned the same way, burrowing into the ground, and a side of the electric grid opened, showing the way out.

"Dragon Emperor, farewell." Yin Jue stood in place, cupping his hands towards the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, leading the other dragons to turn and leave, disappearing into the horizon.

After watching the Dragon Emperor leave, the smile on Yin Jue’s face finally faded. At this moment, a Mountain Charm came down from the mountain, quickly leaping to his side, whispering something into his ear, causing Yin Jue’s expression to change drastically and return hurriedly.

"Let’s go, we’ll wait for him at the entrance of Yin Le’s palace." Mu Qingge turned and flicked her sleeve, saying to Hou.

Earlier, she had Hou take Yin Le back just to find out where she lived.

The two of them strolled leisurely to the front of Yin Le’s palace when Yin Jue rushed over. Seeing them, he paused for a moment, his hurried steps slowing slightly.

"Is there a reason the two of you are here?" Yin Jue asked.

Then he added, "The matter with the Dragon Clan is temporarily resolved. At least, they won’t hunt you so openly."

"We’re not here to discuss the Dragon Clan, but the Empress’s illness." Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, stating her purpose.

Yin Jue furrowed his brows, becoming serious, pressing his lips without speaking.

Mu Qingge laughed, "Prince, you should know what illness the Empress is suffering from, right?"

Yin Jue’s gaze darkened, cautiously asking, "What do you mean to say?"

His response made Mu Qingge more confident, she smiled and said, "I just want to say, I might be able to cure this illness. However, I have conditions."
