Chapter 4081: My Ability Is Far Inferior to Yours
Mu Qingya smiled faintly at the little girl and spoke softly, "I'm genuinely quite curious about you now."
"Tell me, you're just a young girl, how do you have such immense capabilities? You truly aren't an ordinary person." Mu Qingya smiled, raising a hand to tidy her slightly disheveled hair.
"When you first returned to the Mu family, I wasn't able to make you disappear from the family immediately. From that point, I lost."
"At that time, you asked me for the management rights to Cai Die Xuan, Chang Wang Ge, and Zhen Hui Fang... Of course, you weren't wrong."
"These were originally your mother's businesses. But was I wrong? For all these years, I managed all those shops. I made them prosperous, leading to their current success."
"Yet, you, as soon as you returned, with a mere gesture, completely negated all my efforts of so many years."
"Tell me, child, how annoying can you be?"
Mu Qingya sighed softly, slowly pushing away the two Heaven's Will disciples protecting her. "Although I was unwilling, I could only concede."
"I initially thought that when you took over these businesses, there would be a process, and things would inevitably be chaotic for a while."
"But I never expected you to truly impress me."
"You did very well."
"You managed the businesses your mother left behind in perfect order. In fact, because of the existence of Sacred Rice and Beauty Elixirs, they became even more popular and reached new heights than when I managed them."
"You cultivators, you're all so reckless and unrestrained." Mu Qingya let out a long sigh, a hint of subtle helplessness appearing between her brows.
"No matter how hard ordinary people try to catch up, no matter how much effort they put in, heh. You just need a tiny bit of trickery, and you can leave us far behind, with no end in sight."
"I kept thinking, are you truly that lucky? If I employed some methods, would you perhaps suffer misfortune?"
"Heheheh." Mu Qingya suddenly burst into laughter, a gentle, alluring laugh, with a faint glimmer in her eyes.
"Unfortunately, Granny Zhang found a group of fools who failed to bring you down, forcing me to send Granny Qiu herself to clean up the mess."
"The Crown Princess took over Cai Die Xuan, and not only did it not suffer from mismanagement, but within a few days, the entire Cai Die Xuan and Zhen Hui Fang gained immense fame, surpassing their previous glory."
"What does this signify?" Mu Qingya gave a self-deprecating smile. "It signifies that your ability is far superior to mine."
"To think I prided myself on being clever my whole life, only to find that in the end, I can't even defeat a young girl."
"Are you truly a person of this era?" Mu Qingya's gaze was focused, staring intently at Qiao Mu.
Taking a step forward, her graceful, plain-colored dress swayed gently in the wind.
"Could it be that I was mistaken from the very beginning?" Mu Qingya looked deeply at the young girl before her, her words long and drawn out, with a soft, lingering tone at the end, "Crown Princess, where do you come from?"
"Me?" The little Crown Princess looked at her with an indifferent expression, her gaze utterly cold and piercing, like looking at a frozen corpse. "I crawled up from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, from the depths of hell... a vengeful spirit. I came specifically for you, to claim your life."
Even with Mu Qingya's boldness and meticulousness, she was suddenly startled, her heart trembling at the little Crown Princess's utterly calm and chilling expression.
"Hahahahahahaha!" Mu Qingya suddenly burst into loud laughter.
