Chapter 4275: 5.0027 No Way Out

After the ship left the ferry and sailed for a while, Qiao Mu realized that the large ship carrying the seven flowers was now steadily sailing ahead of them, riding the wind and waves with impressive power.

From a distance, strains of zither music and singing drifted over. It seemed the seven flowers were quite leisurely, playing music on their ship.

"For some reason, whenever I hear zither music now, I get a strange chilling sensation," Long Hui, standing at the bow of the deck facing the wind, couldn't help but shiver, reaching up to rub his arm.

After being attacked by that zither-playing corpse puppet twice in a row, a deep shadow had truly been cast upon Long Hui's heart.

Qiao Mu, however, didn't feel much. She simply turned to Long Hui and said, "Don't lower your guard these next few days."

"That cultured corpse puppet, if it comes once or twice, it can come a third or fourth time until its ambush is complete."

"Why is that corpse puppet so persistent? What is it after?"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but sneer, "Of course, it's because someone is targeting me."

"Targeting you??" Long Xiangyun couldn't help but interject, "Who is targeting you?"

Qiao Mu was originally too lazy to bother with her, but both Long Hui and his sister were looking at her strangely.

"Isn't it normal for Qiao Qiao to be targeted?" Mo Lian said indifferently. "I thought Young Master Long had thoroughly investigated Qiao Qiao's affairs, including the irreversible mortal enmity between us and Heaven's Will."

"You mean that zither-playing corpse puppet was actually after Qiao Mu?" Long Xiangyun immediately showed her displeasure.

Then why the hell did it attack them?

"Do you think that corpse puppet is clever enough to distinguish our relationships?" Mu Xingchen scoffed. "Since you're traveling with us, in the corpse puppet's eyes, you're naturally all its enemies."

"But..." Long Xiangyun couldn't help but feel exasperated. That wretched corpse puppet initially targeted their Wangchuan Long Clan, making her believe these people were the Wangchuan Long Clan's enemies.

So, after all that, it turns out they were trying to mess with the little Crown Prince Consort? Are you people too stupid to even figure out who your target is?

Long Xiangyun took a deep breath. "Heaven's Will will send more people?"

Qiao Mu turned away innocently and walked off, leaving a single sentence behind, "How would I know?"

"Miss He'er, you must realize by now that even with just one Special Grade Corpse Puppet, even if it can summon corpse fish from half the river, you might not be able to deal with that little Crown Prince Consort."

Mu Rouxuan stood by the window, gazing at the surging river, and said in a deep voice, "Tonight, we will enter the sea."

He'er's face looked somewhat grim. "Miss, do you have a better method to ensure this succeeds?"

"That Special Grade Corpse Puppet's range for summoning its minions only extends to a radius of five hundred miles. Beyond that, its voice has no control over others," Mu Rouxuan said faintly. "You have sent him out twice, but not once has the ambush succeeded."

He'er's face grew even more grim. "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"The methods Mother suggested are all unworkable," Mu Rouxuan shook her head. "From my understanding of her, she will undoubtedly be on full alert against you all right now."

"Once you send Sixteen over, she will surely capture him."

"Sixteen will have no way out. Neither you, nor I, nor any of us will have any way out."

He'er couldn't help but burst into anger. "Miss, you're saying so much, are you trying to back out?"

Mu Rouxuan sighed softly.
