Chapter 4280: 5.0032 Heartless and Fickle

As the sword whizzed past, Qiao Mu swiftly dodged, and in that instant, Si Kong Fuling's second sword, ripping through the air, was already upon her.

Qiao Mu's waist dipped, and she leaned back, the long sword sweeping over her, catching a strand of hair by her temple.

The pervasive sword intent dispersed, and half a strand of dark hair drifted down along Si Kong Fuling's sword.

Qiao Mu's eyes instantly filled with a chilling coldness.

A sudden hum erupted, and Thunder Shock was summoned from her识渊 (shí yuān - consciousness abyss), blocking Si Kong Fuling's third cleaving strike with a horizontal swing of her sword.

Qiao Mu's voice, as if emanating from the depths of a frigid netherworld, was filled with endless cold. "Si Kong Fuling, you're seeking death."

"After our parting in the Mystic Beast Forest, you saved my life, and I guarded you for a night. Between us, we are even!"

Qiao Mu spun, avoiding the spreading sword aura from Si Kong Fuling, holding Thunder Shock, and blocking horizontally. She said coldly, "When did I save your life?"

"Of course, you wouldn't remember. How much of what happened in the Mystic Beast Forest do you even remember?"

"At that time, you had lost all your five senses, all emotions and desires, and had no memories!"

"What?" Mu Xingchen and Feng Changqing were all stunned. "Lost all five senses?"

Why didn't they know about this?

The Crown Prince frowned, looking at Si Kong Fuling, who had suddenly launched an attack.

He knew something had happened to the little one in the Mystic Beast Forest, but what exactly it was, the little thing had always been evasive about it with him.

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, he naturally didn't press her.

Anyway, she was now safely by his side, and the past was simply the past.

He never expected that his wife would have had an encounter with the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect while in the Mystic Beast Forest?

"Nonsense." The little stoic, as always, refused to admit anything, her small face, fair as frost and snow, was cold as she stared at Si Kong Fuling.

"Nonsense? Do you even remember how my big brother saved you? Of course, you remember nothing!"

"At that time, you were afflicted by some kind of talisman, weren't you? That's why you lost your five senses, six desires, and seven emotions. When I met you in the Mystic Beast Forest, you were blind; you couldn't see anything. You were like a killing..."

"Absurd! It's all your baseless talk! When was I ever blind?" A green vine shot out from Qiao Mu's wrist, drawing towards Si Kong Fuling without hesitation.

The onlookers couldn't help but collectively gasp.

They saw Si Kong Fuling leap, reaching out to fiercely grab one end of her vine whip.

The thorny barbs, formed from the power of the Sacred Wood, quickly dug into her fair, tender palm. Drops of blood dripped onto the ground along the vine whip, drip, drip, drip.

The surroundings became utterly silent.

"Do you dare to come see him with me?" Si Kong Fuling asked, looking at her coldly.

Qiao Mu moved her small mouth, her stoic face taut as she said, "Let go."

"If you had no intention towards him, why did you flirt with him then? Do you know, you've terribly harmed him!"

Qiao Mu's expression turned to great anger, and she stared at Si Kong Fuling, utterly baffled. "I'm telling you again, I have no relationship with your big brother."

"Hey, young lady! That's not right of you!" A slender, agile figure suddenly darted out from the crowd, hopping towards Qiao Mu and Si Kong Fuling, her round face assuming a solemn and dignified expression.

Running up to Qiao Mu, she launched into a scolding. "Since you flirted with someone else's big brother, you must take responsibility, mustn't you! As women, we must dare to act and dare to take responsibility. We absolutely must not flirt around and then disavow! If so, what's the difference between you and those heartless and fickle people?"
