Chapter 4402: 5.0154 It Was For You!

Mo Lian seemed to suddenly remember something and realized, "Back when your soul was separated, countless evil spirits gathered in South City, trying to invade your body."

"Ultimately, they were destroyed by the extreme heavenly light in your dantian. Now it seems, that was the work of this ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu."

After gradually breaking its seal, the ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu had been autonomously protecting its master's body, diligently guarding this young master at all times.

So, what deep hatred did the Jiao Zhu, which had been driven out of control by the black dragon before, have with that black dragon?

Upon seeing that black dragon, did it disregard even its beloved young master's body?

"The Jiao Zhu was placed in my body by Mother," Qiao Mu turned to look at Mu Xingchen, "Even Big Brother doesn't have one."

Mu Xingchen couldn't help but chuckle, "Big Brother is a man, he can protect himself."

"Mother must have had her own intentions for leaving the Jiao Zhu to you."

"Of course, she had her intentions," Long Qian's cold voice drifted in from the doorway.

"When the ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu enters the body, even a person on their last breath can be pulled back from the brink of death." Long Qian looked at the little poker-faced girl before her, gazing at her with a complex expression.

"Your mother was hunted down in the lower star realms back then. How could she not have been injured in such an intense battle with Shun Tian Mansion?"

Qiao Mu stared coldly at the old woman before her, suddenly finding her wrinkled old face particularly jarring.

"What do you mean?" Mo Lian interrupted Long Qian's incessant chatter coldly, "Shut up."

Qiao Mu, however, reached out and tugged his sleeve, saying calmly, "Just say what you mean, why beat around the bush?"

Long Qian's cold gaze swept over Mo Lian, then over Feng Chen, finally landing on Qiao Mu, speaking without any emotional fluctuation or rise and fall in her voice, "If it weren't for this Jiao Zhu, you would have died prematurely in your early years."

"Do I need to spell it out?"

Long Qian took a deep breath and continued, "The ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu saved your life. When you were still an infant, it was the ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu entering your body that pulled you back from certain death. You survived, but your body was so weak, you were just an infant at the time, you simply couldn't control this ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu."

"That's why your mother had no choice but to seal the ten-thousand-year-old Jiao Zhu!"

Qiao Mu's eyes were aloof and deep, staring at her for a long while, "Your conjecture?"

"It's a conjecture, but this old woman understands your mother and knows all her thoughts," Long Qian said indifferently. "She would do anything for you. As long as it could save your life, she would definitely try."

"What do you think happened to your mother?"

"Stop talking!!!" Mo Lian roared furiously, his handsome face filled with rage, his phoenix eyes chilling. A black fire spirit whip lashed out at Long Qian without a second thought.

"Grandma!" Long Xiangyun and Long Hu couldn't help but exclaim.

Long Qian, however, suddenly reached out and firmly grasped the incoming fire spirit whip.

A dense pressure from the Transcendent Divine Realm surged forth. Her palm was scorched by the fire spirit whip, and in an instant, a "hiss" sound was heard, her entire palm turning somewhat charred.

Yet, she looked mockingly at Qiao Mu and Mo Lian, still speaking word by word in a cold voice, "Your mother died to save you! If she had kept that Jiao Zhu for herself, she would never have died so early."

"Shut up!!" Mu Xingchen and Feng Chen instantly flared with intense murderous intent.
