Chapter 4256: Asking for Trouble!

The remaining Long clan members on the ship, hearing this, immediately leaped up, vaulting over the rail, and surrounded Long Hui.

Long Xiangyun tightly gripped the railing, screaming at Long Hui, "Be careful, be careful, Brother! All of you, pay close attention and protect the Young Master!"

Under the combined resistance of the Long clan members, the force of the zither-playing corpse puppet's attacks was swiftly and completely blocked.

A few Long clan members quickly escorted Long Hui back onto the large ship.

"Brother." Long Xiangyun threw herself into Long Hui's arms, crying out in fright and shock, "Are you alright, Brother?"

Long Hui's face was slightly pale. He shook his head slightly at his sister, then turned to look at Qiao Mu, who sat composedly at the table.

Long Xiangyun, like an enraged leopard, suddenly lunged towards Qiao Mu, indiscriminately throwing a punch at Qiao Mu's face.

"Do you have any sense of proportion when you joke around? Can something like this be played with so casually... Ah!" Long Xiangyun hadn't even gotten close before Qiao Mu raised a hand and sent her flying with a whip of vines.

"Xiangyun." Long Hui quickly ordered two clan members to grab Long Xiangyun.

The two Long clan members supported Long Xiangyun from either side, barely steadying her, then both glared furiously at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu grasped Mu Xingchen's hand, looked up at Long Xiangyun and the others, and said coldly, "Want to die?"

Long Xiangyun's eyes turned red with anger. She pointed at Qiao Mu and shouted, "You, you!"

What kind of woman was this?!

Ruthless, heartless, and cruel!

Throughout this journey, her brother and she had hosted their group with good food and drink. How many spirit coins had they wasted for this woman?

Yet, the other person showed no gratitude whatsoever. Just now, she even threw her towards the corpse puppet, almost getting her killed.

Qiao Mu scoffed coldly, then turned to Long Hui, her eyes cold, gleaming with an eerie light. "Young Master Long, I advise you not to play tricks with me. I have ten thousand ways to make your sister wish she were dead, but unable to die. You can try them one by one."

Long Hui's heart chilled. He quickly stepped forward and pulled back the exasperated Long Xiangyun.

"Cousin, you've misunderstood."

"I've misunderstood?" Qiao Mu swept her gaze over the siblings with a look reserved for idiots. "You're an expert on these rivers and seas. Would you not know whether the approaching one is human or ghost?"

"Long Xiangyun, I'm not joking with you. I, Qiao Mu, never joke with people." Qiao Mu looked indifferently at the furious Long Xiangyun, enunciating each word. "I threw you out just now because I wanted you to die."

"Your brother wanted to trick me, so I'll trick you to death first. Let's see who dies first."

"You!"

Long Hui quickly grabbed Long Xiangyun's hand, preventing her from charging forward again to bring further humiliation upon herself.

Taking a deep breath, Long Hui lowered his voice and said to the Long clan members, "Everyone, gather together and deal with the corpse puppet with all your might."
