Chapter 4235: Loves Eating Trash!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the chubby little beast that had suddenly darted out.

Yes, a fluffy, round, round little beast, emitting five faint glows all over its body.

It, it, it, it bounced onto the ground and directly snatched the Golden Lotus into its mouth, chewing and swallowing it in a couple of bites.

Everyone: !

Are they still dreaming?

Were they seeing things, or what was that beast that seemed to have swallowed the Golden Lotus?

Hmm, definitely seeing things...

"Ah!" Long Xiangyun suddenly stood up, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. "You, you!! You??"

As she stood up and lifted her head, everyone could clearly see five faint finger marks on her neck, as if they had been forcefully choked into her skin, still not completely faded.

Long Xiangyun's eyes were wide with shock. She suddenly turned back and glared fiercely at Qiao Mu. "Is that your beast??"

The little Crown Princess glanced at her expressionlessly, frowned slightly, and beckoned to the little treasured beast that was still playing dead on the ground, scolding, "Come back!"

The little treasured beast immediately scurried over and plopped onto her lap.

The little Crown Princess used her hand to smooth the messy fur on the beast's forehead, her voice cold and nonchalant. "My apologies, my little beast just loves to eat trash from the ground. Please excuse its bad manners."

Everyone: Holy moly, can we inwardly complain?

The Emperor and Empress: Our Tangyuan daughter-in-law has been led astray by little Tangyuan. Look at her poker face, not even batting an eye while spouting nonsense. How does she manage to look so utterly serious?

"Absurd!!" Long Xiangyun exploded in anger. "This, this is a Golden Lotus produced within the Pond Lotus Sacred Realm, how, how could it become... become?"

She simply couldn't bring herself to utter the word "trash"!

Qiao Mu blinked, her face full of bewilderment. "If it's not trash, why did you throw it on the ground? My Zhenzhen always likes to pick up trash from the ground to eat; this bad habit just can't be changed. Deserves a smack! Naughty!"

As she spoke, she kept her delicate little face taut and raised a hand to lightly pat the little treasured beast on the head.

After eating the Golden Lotus, Comrade Zhenzhen continued to play dead on Qiao Mu's lap, as if it hadn't even jumped down to eat the Golden Lotus at all, completely ignoring the dagger-like gazes from around it.

Crown Prince Mo lightly coughed twice, raising a hand to offer his wife a cup of warm tea. "Will Zhenzhen get an upset stomach?"

Qiao Mu looked down at the playing-dead little treasured beast, tugged its fur, and brought the tea to its mouth, feeding it a few sips.

"No need to worry. I'll give it a bottle of nutrient solution to balance it out later."

Everyone looked at the Crown Prince and Crown Princess speechless, feeling that this whole situation had become quite farcical.

A Golden Lotus, incredibly rare in the world, which could increase a cultivator's cultivation level after consumption, was swallowed whole by an obscure little beast as if it were trash. And on top of that, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess even complained, saying the little beast might get an upset stomach...

Isn't this hilarious?!

Long Xiangyun was trembling with rage. She raised a trembling finger towards Qiao Mu, her lips quivering repeatedly. "You, you actually?"

In her utter fury, Long Xiangyun felt she couldn't even form a complete sentence.

Qiao Mu looked at her with a cold gaze. "Looking for trouble??"

"No, no! Not looking for trouble." Long Hui quickly reached out and tugged his sister's sleeve, forcefully pulling the frozen Long Xiangyun back to her seat.

He sighed helplessly, his gaze complex as he looked at the little Crown Princess.
