3332 Fear

"Heh, what a great reason!"

Mo Lian chuckled, gently poking the capricious little one's cheek. "Qiaoqiao, if you don't sulk and give me the cold shoulder, I won't go looking for trouble with others, okay?"

Qiaoqiao, who was about to nod, gave him an annoyed glare instead.

What was the connection between those two things?

Why would he go find trouble with irrelevant people just because she was giving him the cold shoulder? It was simply atrocious!

Mo Lian looked at her with an innocent expression, shaking her small body. "Wife. When I get scared, my soul feels like it's scattering, I lose my mind, and I do things even I can't predict, you know?"

Qiao Mu felt her teeth itch; she really wanted to bite him.

But thinking of how hard it would be on her teeth, she decided against it and instead glanced at him, saying, "Still rebelling? Still yelling at me?"

Mo Lian's lips twitched subtly. He embraced her, shaking his head with a wry smile. "Not anymore. Whatever the little emperor says is right."

Hmph! Qiao Mu reached out and hugged his waist, nuzzling her small face into his chest, and muffled, "I'm sorry."

Mo Lian paused, then smiled faintly, stroking her small head.

"Don't worry," Qiao Mu looked up at Mo Lian and said after thinking, "Although... I don't know why. But I think that Heavenly Dao fellow should be a bit afraid of my master and grand-master."

"Otherwise, back when I was in the lower realm star domain, and had already gained control of the Holy Water among the Five Spirits, it wouldn't have allowed me to stay in the lower realm star domain, turning a blind eye and completely ignoring me."

Mo Lian thought it over carefully and felt that Qiaoqiao's analysis made some sense. He couldn't help but relax a bit more, nodding. "Okay, but from now on, before you do anything dangerous, you have to tell me first, alright?"

Qiao Mu instinctively nodded her small head, then defiantly said, "Hmph! When you do dangerous things, do you tell Qiaoqiao? Don't think Qiaoqiao forgets! Before, with Duanyue and those troublesome romantic interests of yours..."

"I will!" Mo Lian, with a strong will to survive, immediately responded, then pointed ahead, exclaiming, "Hey Qiaoqiao, look! That Fifth Madam is being pinned to the ground!"

Qiao Mu had wanted to seize the opportunity to lecture him thoroughly, but now, hearing his shout, her gaze involuntarily followed his pointing hand.

At this sight, her attention was diverted by the cunning fellow, and she couldn't help but want to laugh at the scene.

By now, the group in front had truly descended into chaos.

Everyone was piled on top of each other like a human pyramid, tearing at and punching each other.

Madam Hua, the Fifth Madam, was pinned at the bottom of the pile, only half an arm extended, twitching as if struggling, emitting piercing screams.

The cleaver in the hand of the strange woman pressing on her back had already been snatched away by an old nanny nearby and thrown to the ground.

She was now using her fists to punch the Fifth Madam's head and body, faint streaks of blood visible in her eyes, and she was cursing furiously.

When Mu Qingya arrived with Nanny Qiu, having heard the commotion, she found the scene outside Yulan Courtyard was a complete mess.

Her face darkened and then turned pale again. Mu Qingya couldn't help but raise her voice and scold angrily, "Why are you still fighting? What kind of scene is this?"

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!!!" Nanny Qiu roared several times.
