Chapter 3570: 4.1170 I'll Play With You

The young lady who spoke sounded incredibly arrogant. Her eyes tilted slightly upwards, and her nose twitched intermittently as she spoke. It was as if the lives of these beggars were as lowly as roadside dog feces in her eyes, to be trampled upon and played with at will.

"Who are you?" Qiao Mu asked, her voice icy cold.

Mu Erxue was clever. Although he hadn't interacted much with the little Crown Princess, through one or two brief encounters and understandings, he already knew the Crown Princess's unpredictable temperament. Looking at her expressionless face, she seemed calm on the surface, but her heart was probably raging like a storm.

Mu Erxue quickly intervened, "Crown Princess, please calm your anger. This is Miss Lin from Rong City. The Lin family is skilled in array formations and is one of the top aristocratic families in Rong City."

Qiao Mu's gaze, cold as ice, swept over Mu Erxue. This single glance inexplicably made Mu Erxue unable to continue speaking.

Lin Miao'er delicately frowned, her face nonchalant. "These people should naturally know that to get anything, they must pay a price, shouldn't they?"

"Caixiu," the little Crown Princess called out coldly.

Caixiu responded immediately, stepping forward. When she reached Lin Miao'er, without a word, she slapped her pale face.

With a crisp "slap," everyone was startled.

Caixiu said calmly, "No manners. When speaking to the Crown Princess, you must first kneel and bow."

Lin Miao'er trembled with anger on the spot, a sudden flash of fury in her beautiful eyes. She raised her hand to slap Caixiu back. As a daughter of the Lin family, she had never suffered such humiliation from childhood. In Rong City, everyone, including the City Lord, had always been respectful and ingratiating towards the Lin family. Having moved to Longyan City for only two or three months, she hadn't expected to suffer such a setback. How could Lin Miao'er endure this anger in her heart?

However, her small hand had not yet touched Caixiu's cheek when it was struck by a golden needle on her wrist. Her fingers went numb, and Lin Miao'er's entire arm hung limply, a hint of fear appearing in her eyes.

"Sister Miao'er," a familiar cry made Qiao Mu turn her head. She saw Liu Yiran holding Lin Miao'er's arm, her expression one of distress.

Seeing this motley crew, Qiao Mu felt an inexplicable irritation and said coldly, "Tie them up."

Two Imperial Forest Guards instantly darted out from behind her, one on each side, seizing Lin Miao'er's arms and pushing her towards the little Crown Princess.

Mu Erxue hastily stepped forward to mediate, "Crown Princess, this, this might not be appropriate!"

This was, after all, the eldest young lady of the Lin family of Rong City. If she were bullied here at the Mu family, who knows how the Lin family would cause trouble for the Mu family.

Mu Rouxian couldn't help but exclaim, "Crown Princess, what are you doing?"

"You like playing archery games, don't you? Then I, the Crown Princess, will play with you." Qiao Mu's cold gaze swept over everyone in the field, and she slightly waved her small hand.

The Imperial Forest Guards immediately understood. They released Lin Miao'er's arms, gave her a hard shove forward, and reprimanded, "Why aren't you running?"

In the little Crown Princess's hand, there was now a delicate purple small bow. As spiritual energy permeated it, the small bow grew larger in her hand, rapidly transforming into the size of a normal bow and arrow.
