Chapter 3549: 4.1149 Mixed Feelings

Lord Qiao Qiao hadn't expected Young Master Qin to throw himself at her so recklessly.

She subconsciously tried to push him away, but the scoundrel was quick and pulled her behind him.

At the same time, the thunder-fire had, with lightning speed, slammed into Young Master Qin.

Although Young Master Qin had set up a defensive barrier around himself, the power of this thunder-fire was no small matter.

It instantly broke through his defensive barrier.

"Hiss..." A wisp of flame slowly burned on the back of his hand.

"Are you alright?" Qin Xin lowered his head and looked at Qiao Mu.

The latter was staring at him with complex emotions, a few flickering lights intertwining in her icy, jade-like eyes.

Qiao Mu wanted to reprimand him, but when her gaze met his, she found herself speechless.

She turned her little head, presenting the back of her head to Young Master Qin.

Meanwhile, Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom stepped out from Peach Blossom Star, reached out, grabbed the little one's wrist, and pulled her to his side.

The Immortal Venerable's sharp gaze swept over Young Master Qin, pausing slightly on the faint flame marks on his wrist.

"What's going on?" He hadn't been constantly monitoring the outside movements within Peach Blossom Star, and to his surprise, he was almost scared to death by this little ghost when he wasn't paying attention.

Why would thunder-fire suddenly fall from the sky for no reason?

The little Crown Princess's small face was sullen and expressionless.

The thunder-fire in the sky was also very peculiar.

After striking down, it seemed as if it had been punched violently, and the whole thing flew backward towards the nine heavens.

It left a faint, ethereal trail across the azure sky, its tail still twitching...

Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom studied the direction the remaining thunder-fire flew off to, and said, exasperated, "What exactly was this thunder-fire here for?"

Qiao Mu calmly stated, "To strike me."

That's right, she knew when she cast the curse talisman that this talisman would inevitably draw the fire of the Heavenly Dao.

What she didn't expect was that after Shi Yongqian died last night, it dragged on until now for the thunder-fire to descend.

And...

This thunder-fire really just struck perfunctorily!

It struck once and then ran away.

How comical was this thunder-fire?

Qiao Mu glanced at Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom, who was also looking down at her. He instinctively reached out and stroked her head, his face serious. "Qiao Qiao, don't do things that make us worry."

Qiao Mu nodded her little head somewhat guiltily.

She knew that curse talismans weren't good things, but that day she just wanted... she just wanted to be willful for once!

Yes, even if she had to suffer the pain of thunder-fire later, she wanted to have a satisfying resolution.

Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom glanced at her, saw that she was mostly unharmed, and then nodded, raising his eyes to give Qin Xin a faint look.

"Young Master Qin, trespassing into a private residence isn't very appropriate, is it?"

Qin Xin also glanced at Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom and said indifferently, "I'm looking for Qiao Qiao."

"Qiao Qiao doesn't seem to want to see you," Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom scoffed, sizing up Qin Xin. "Is Young Master Qin perhaps stirring up trouble for no reason?"

Qin Xin ignored Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom, only turning to gaze deeply at Qiao Mu, and said softly, "Little Qiao, although I cannot reverse past events, I can control the future."

"I hope you believe me."
