Chapter 3886: No Way

The adventurers in front of the building nearly collapsed to the ground.

Qiao Mu blinked and said, "Oh," then glared at Duan Yue outside the door. "Come here!"

Duan Yue stepped over to Qiao Mu's side. Zhao Yi, carrying his junior sister Mu Xiaoxue, followed, but just as he reached the doorway, the little stoic raised her hand.

The heavy door slammed shut in their faces with a "bang," almost flattening his nose.

Zhao Yi, as the eldest disciple of Shadow City, had never been treated like this. His eyes turned red with anger, and he stepped forward, kicking the door fiercely. "Open the door! Open the door!"

Just as his third kick was about to land, the door opened from inside.

The little stoic looked at him with a frosty expression and, without a word, swung a vine whip at his face.

"Senior Brother Zhao!" Lin Zhen'er gasped.

Zhao Yi was incredibly agile. Carrying Mu Xiaoxue, he executed a mid-air side step, deftly avoiding the oncoming vine whip.

He had just tightened his firm lips and was about to speak when a vine whip suddenly swept from behind him, making him pale with fright.

Behind him was his beloved junior sister!

If that whip landed, his junior sister, being an ordinary person, would surely be beaten to death!

At that crucial moment, Zhao Yi twisted his waist, leaning back and pulling his junior sister from his back into his arms, instinctively raising his arm to block.

"Whack!" A heavy whip lashed fiercely across his arm. A sharp pain shot through him, and looking down, a fiery red welter appeared.

"Those who wish to barge in and seek death, just come," Qiao Mu's icy voice carried no warmth.

This intimidated everyone in the courtyard, making them retreat a few steps obediently.

Gu Yixuan stepped forward, his face grim. "Crown Princess, what you're doing is simply too tyrannical!"

"We rented this building with real money; it's our property for these few days," Qiao Mu said coldly.

"Who exactly is it that doesn't understand the rules and intrudes upon another's residence?" Qiao Mu gave him a mocking expression, her gaze shifting to Mu Xiaoxue. "What, another hero saving a beauty act?"

"Hmph." That scoff of mockery, like a sharp knife, pierced Gu Yixuan's heart, inexplicably reminding him of the deceased Zhongli Zhiwei.

"Crown Princess!" Gu Yixuan roared furiously, his face flushed with anger. "Fine! Let's say we trespassed into your courtyard, that we don't understand the rules!"

"But now, Sister Xiaoxue's life hangs in the balance, and she urgently needs a physician! She's just an ordinary person; can't you show some kindness and lend us a room..."

"Bang!" The door slammed shut in their faces again, courtesy of the little stoic.

"This Crown Princess is not running a charity."

A cold voice emanated from within, like icy snow water, chilling everyone to the core.

If you had come to discuss it nicely, there might have been room for negotiation.

But to barge in so unreasoningly, acting as if it's your right, hmph! Who cares about you?

The little stoic turned her head and saw two eager pairs of eyes looking at her, as if saying, "Ask me, Qiao Qiao, I'll definitely tell you everything."

Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at them, then walked up the stairs towards the third floor. "Are there really hundreds of thousands of beasts gathered outside?"

"Qiao Qiao." Mo Lian instantly appeared before her. "Do you remember the three sculptures we saw in the underground tunnel of Happy Village?"

Qiao Mu was startled, then immediately understood. She stopped and turned to look at them. "You saw the strange figures on the sculptures?"
