Chapter 4287: 5.0039 The Reason

"Hey, you, aren't you the—" Before the words "stoic girl" could fully leave her mouth, a green vine shot out from the little stoic's palm, darting swiftly towards the small child.

The green vine wrapped around the agitated child in a matter of seconds, binding his arms and legs several times over, tying him securely.

The child fell to the ground with a "bang," his black, beady eyes wide and round, staring directly at Qiao Mu.

His arms and legs were bound, and he was lying on his side, yet he still stubbornly tried to move his limbs, his watery eyes looking pitifully at Qiao Mu.

"Ah!" The child opened his mouth and cried out, "Ah, ah!"

"Ah your head," a small treant with thin arms and legs suddenly emerged from between the green leaves wrapped around him. Without a word, it raised its hand and flicked the child on the forehead.

"Why are you so foolish? You're already so old, how can you end up looking like this ghost?" Ball Ball scolded, looking utterly exasperated. "How can you run around with your butt naked? You have no shame, but I still have my old reputation to uphold!"

As it spoke, its branch-like hand repeatedly punched the child's head three times.

The child's face contorted, and his eyes immediately filled with tears.

Qing Xuexue, watching from the side, felt heartbroken. She quickly rushed over, batting away the treant's claws, and hugged the child, continuously saying, "My child! Are you okay? Does your head hurt? Mommy will have delicious food cooked for you, just stop making trouble now."

Qiao Mu looked expressionlessly at Qing Xuexue's back. After a moment, she said, "Your body has never been pregnant. Where did you get a child?"

Seeing Qiao Mu's posture, Qing Xuexue immediately reached out and hugged the small child, who was bound by vines and unable to move. "Little Grass is my child. Don't even think about taking him away."

"Nonsense!" Ball Ball hopped with anger from the side. "You clearly know what he is, why do you keep spouting such lies at us?"

"I don't care! Little Grass is my child, and you can't take him away." Qing Xuexue glared defensively at Qiao Mu.

She turned her head and pointed at the little treant, saying, "What kind of ghost are you!"

What exactly was this piece of wood that seemingly had a nose, eyes, hands, and feet?

"You are the daughter of Her Majesty the Queen of the Allure Queendom?" Qiao Mu had heard the others addressing Qing Xuexue earlier, realizing that this girl was likely the person with the highest status in the Queendom, second only to the Queen.

Qing Xuexue held the child in her arms, stood up, and tugged at the green vines binding the child. "What is this? Quickly untie him."

"He'll still hit you after you untie him," the little stoic calmly stated the fact.

"How do you know??" Qing Xuexue was exasperated.

"Because he wants to return to my side, that's why he's agitated," Qiao Mu remained very calm, but her words, upon reaching Qing Xuexue's ears, sounded utterly unpleasant.

Qing Xuexue couldn't help but laugh angrily. "Heh heh, you say it as if it's true. Why would my son want to return to your side??"

"He's not your son. You haven't even had conjugal relations with anyone yet, so you don't have a son."

The group of Phoenix Clan members squatting on the rooftop nearly tumbled off.

Good heavens, their Grandmaster Saintess truly wouldn't rest until she shocked everyone with her words!

Qing Xuexue's pretty little face flushed crimson. She looked at the two female officers beside her, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

Indeed, the latter two stared at her in shock, with expressions of utter disbelief.
