Chapter 4289: 5.0041 I Challenge You

"You intend to steal by force?" Qing Xuexue's porcelain-white face darkened, glaring furiously at the people before her.

"Princess!" A swarm of guards rushed from all directions, surrounding Qiao Mu, Mo Lian, and the others without a word.

Qing Xuexue straightened, raising her hand to stop the guards from acting, yet her eyes remained defensively fixed on Qiao Mu. "We have no grievance with you; leave at once! I don't want to harm anyone."

"I'm telling you, if you intend to rob, you've come to the wrong place!"

Ball Ball, agitated, bounced angrily on Qiao Mu's shoulder. "You woman, how odd you are! You steal our Little Six, and then accuse us of robbing you?"

Qiao Mu raised a hand and soothingly stroked Ball Ball's tree-like head, then said faintly, "I heard that in your Allure Queendom, there's an unwritten rule."

"What do you want to say?" Qing Xuexue's expression was cautious, tightly holding Little Grass's hand, her eyes almost popping out of her head.

"It's said that your citizens, if they fancy someone else's man, can issue a challenge! The victor gets to claim that person?"

Mo Lian: ...

Mu Xingchen: ...

Qing Xuexue's legs almost buckled.

The two female officers rushed to support her, their fists tightly clenched, shouting loudly, "How audacious! Princess, accept her challenge!"

"Yes! Princess, accept her challenge!!"

"Don't be afraid, you absolutely cannot back down! You cannot embarrass Her Majesty the Queen!!"

"That's right!"

"Princess, Princess, Princess!!"

Qing Xuexue almost couldn't stand steadily, her round eyes wide as she glared furiously at Qiao Mu, shouting repeatedly, "You, where did you hear that? No, no such thing!"

Qiao Mu casually glanced at her. "Then return the person?"

"Impossible!!" Qing Xuexue stood defiantly in front of Fragment Six, roaring angrily, "You won't snatch my brother!"

Little Tree Ball Ball grumbled, "One moment he's your son, the next your brother! I'm telling you, calling him 'husband' won't even work! He's our Little Six, and he should be returned to our family!"

Qing Xuexue's small face was beet red, huffing and puffing.

Suddenly, she was heavily kicked by a small foot.

She looked back to see that Fragment Six had somehow freed himself from the vine restraints and gleefully rushed towards Qiao Mu, immediately hugging her calf.

"Don't hug Master's leg!" Little Tree Ball Ball exclaimed furiously. "You traitor! Get lost!"

Fragment Six kicked his short legs, struggling to climb onto Qiao Mu.

However, in a mere second, Crown Prince Mo picked him up with a look of disdain, shaking his plump little body.

"Awooo."

Ball Ball ungraciously smacked the child's head with a branch-like hand. "You're not a wolf; why are you howling like one?"

Qiao Mu expressionlessly watched the two brothers interact, and then said calmly, "You also liked to howl like a wolf when you were little."

Ball Ball: ...

Qiao Mu took out paper and brush from her inner world, quickly writing a challenge letter. With a flick of her finger, she sent the letter lightly floating towards Qing Xuexue. "This evening, at the Beauty Grand Plaza on your Allure Island, at the Heavenly Battle Stage, I await Her Royal Highness's presence."

Qing Xuexue hurriedly ran forward, snatching Little Grass from Mo Lian's hands.

Hugging the continuously struggling child, she looked back at Qiao Mu, exasperated. "Fight then! Who's afraid of you!"

"Princess mighty! Princess mighty!!" A group of female guards let out ear-splitting high-pitched shouts, clenching their fists.
