Chapter 4429: 5.0181 Qiao Qiao the Master Analyst

Rong Qing naturally had no trouble discerning the slight hint of disgust in the little poker-face's tone. He glanced at her, his gaze filled with a touch of helplessness.

"Actually, it really was just an accident."

"Our fleet encountered Princess Wushuang, and just as both sides were negotiating, suddenly..."

"There was a violent storm, lightning, and thunder."

"How did you know?" Crown Prince Rong looked at her with considerable curiosity.

Qiao Mu cast a sidelong glance at Ming Ya Si, who was quickly approaching.

"He encountered it too?" Crown Prince Rong wasn't foolish; he immediately understood. "We were trapped by a formation?"

"Who do you think trapped us? Was it Tianyun? Were they trying to wipe us all out?"

Qiao Mu turned her poker-face towards Rong Qing and the others. "Based on my intuition."

Rong Qing nodded, looking as if he was listening attentively.

"It's probably because your massive presence annoyed someone, so they deliberately set up a formation to temporarily trap you on the island for a few days. Once the time limit is up, you'll probably be able to leave."

Everyone was astonished.

Qiao Mu's eyes coldly swept over them. "The person who lured you onto the island absolutely had no intention of harming you."

"Otherwise, they would have simply led you into the Land of Misfortune." Qiao Mu glanced at them. "Just a series of nightmares would have scared you to death."

The Land of Misfortune was equivalent to a place of certain death.

They thought, after entering, how many of them could escape unscathed?

"What about those green-eyed monsters on the island then? Aren't those strange creatures created by Tianyun?" Someone immediately questioned.

Qiao Mu shook her head. "Those corpses can only crawl, not stand upright, and their eyes glow green. They should be puppets controlled by a type of Ghost Fire Heart-Devouring Insect that likes to parasitize corpses."

Ya Li wanted to speak, but then Qiao Mu said indifferently, "Tianyun has already refined corpse puppets into Special Grade Two, creating a type that can manipulate zither music to kill humans. So, how could such low-end things possibly catch their eye?"

"Tianyun is no longer interested in playing with such low-level things."

"Currently, Tianyun is extensively experimenting with refining medicinal liquids to promote crystal formation in the corpse puppets' brains. In the future, they might be able to create perfect corpse puppets that are even closer to humans, possibly even able to hide among people undetected."

Upon hearing this, Rong Qing, Ming Ya Si, and the others couldn't help but shiver.

"Tianyun can actually develop the corpse puppet project to such an extent?"

Qiao Mu, maintaining her emotionless poker-face, nodded. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"I certainly believe it," Crown Prince Rong immediately said, nodding, looking as if he offered unconditional support. "When His Majesty departed, he instructed me, Qing, to always listen carefully to your opinions. His Majesty praises your intelligence and wisdom, saying it's unparalleled on Earth."

"Your analysis is so well-organized and reasonable, it must be correct."

Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This Crown Prince Qing looked like a remarkably handsome and peerless young master, but unexpectedly, he was a sycophant, never forgetting to seriously praise the little poker-face every three sentences, and casually mentioning that it was their monarch's intention.

His obvious intentions were clear to all passersby.

The little poker-face looked at him expressionlessly.

However, for some inexplicable reason, everyone felt that the young girl seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment.

Perhaps this person, subconsciously, was someone who loved to hear praise.

But then again, even though this poker-face usually showed no expression, her internal thoughts were probably richer than anyone else's.
