Chapter 4120: 4.1720 Is It Okay to Be Heavy-Handed?

Strange, why was this sudden chill in her heart so intensely direct?

Hong Shang took a deep breath, her gaze indifferently sweeping over Qiao Mu. "Well, do you dare to accept my conditions..."

"Bang!" A palm strike suddenly launched by Mo Lian startled Hong Shang, who quickly shielded her forehead with both hands, releasing a circle of fire spirit defense.

"Boom." The fire spirit defense shield shattered the instant it came into contact with Crown Prince Mo's power.

As Hong Shang was greatly surprised, several youths behind her quickly threw out several defensive talismans, all arrayed in front of Hong Shang, barely allowing her to withstand this palm attack.

"Presumptuous. My affairs are none of your business!" Mo Lian coldly glared at her. "Immediately apologize to my wife, or else..."

Qiao Mu tilted her small head, her gaze chillingly sweeping over them.

Hong Shang was unwilling, but since Senior Brother Mo had already spoken, she could only step forward, cupping her hands to Qiao Mu. "It was Hong Shang's disrespect. Please forgive me, young lady."

"Senior Sister Hong." Several youths from Radiant City frowned, calling out in dissatisfaction.

Mo Lian's eyes became even more incredibly icy as he stared at Hong Shang, making her lower her gaze somewhat uncomfortably.

The little stoic girl's gaze conveyed the meaning of "you're looking for death." Just as she was about to speak, Hong Shang raised her hand, her expression indifferent, and continued, "Then I shall respectfully await your presence, young lady."

"Farewell." Hong Shang led her people and bowed to Mo Lian again, giving the stoic-faced girl no chance to speak. She turned and left with the disciples of Radiant Academy.

Before leaving, Qiao Mu could feel the unfriendly expressions in the eyes of these people from Radiant City.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment. A flash of insight made her somewhat understand why these people disliked her so much.

As the favored children of Radiant City, these talented students certainly didn't want their future mistress to be a tiny ant whose cultivation was so low that she could be crushed with one finger.

These young men and women from powerful noble families and financial magnates were simply like this: ill-tempered and overbearing.

"Qiao Qiao." Mo Lian looked at his wife worriedly. "Are you angry?"

Qiao Mu nodded solemnly.

How could she not be angry? Others had come to her doorstep, telling her to be sensible and quickly get away from Qiao Qiao's Lian?

It would be strange if she wasn't angry!

The little stoic girl looked up at Lian. "You won't feel bad if I cripple or disable them, will you?"

Mo Lian decisively shook his head, quickly defending himself. "I'm not familiar with them at all."

If there was any real acquaintance, it was probably from more than ten years ago.

And the days he spent with his mother in Radiant City probably didn't exceed ten days. Given his father's clinginess to his wife, hehe, it might not even have been ten days.

How much acquaintance could he have with these people?

Even if there was acquaintance, it wasn't as important as his own wife, was it!

Qiao Mu nodded, a chilling coldness in her eyes.

What standing did they have to put on an act as if she was utterly unworthy of Qiao Qiao's Lian?

Some irrelevant people inexplicably jumped in front of her, gesticulating and criticizing.

They were all asking for a lesson.

Even if she were a good-for-nothing, her and Lian's affairs didn't need these people to interject with a single word of nonsense.

Whether she was worthy or not, and how she and Qiao Qiao's Lian lived their little lives, that was a matter between the two of them as a couple.
