Chapter 4455: 5.0207 Compensation

They could naturally see the man surnamed Zhou from Shadow City standing right behind the little Crown Princess.

He suddenly reached out to push the little Crown Princess's back, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

In that instant, Crown Prince Mo scooped his wife into his arms and, with a backhand, launched a palm strike.

The fool immediately flew backward.

Everyone looked at the Shadow City members with complex expressions.

They hadn't expected such a renowned sect as Shadow City to produce such a sneaky, backstabbing villain.

Among the onlookers were not only aristocratic family disciples but also many hot-blooded mercenaries and rogue cultivators from various sects.

Everyone found nothing more abhorrent than someone who appeared friendly but would occasionally deliver a deadly blow from behind. Such people were truly terrifying to deal with.

Gu Yixuan's face also turned ugly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his little junior sister, weak and gentle, say in his arms, "Senior Brother Gu, I... I'm fine now."

Looking down and seeing his junior sister so frightened by the little poker-face, Gu Yixuan couldn't help but be filled with anger.

Mu Xiaoxue wiped away the tears of fright from her eyes, gently pushed Gu Yixuan away, and bowed to Qiao Mu. "Crown Princess, I... I apologize. I... I didn't see Senior Brother Zhou... he... do that."

"Mu Xiaoxue, I told you not to provoke me." Qiao Mu extended two fingers, making a gesture of visual communication. "If I set my sights on you, guess how long you'll live?"

Mu Xiaoxue retreated a step in horror, a bewildered and panicked expression on her pale face, her whole body trembling slightly.

"Qiao Mu, don't threaten her. Whatever it is, come at me!" Gu Yixuan quickly stepped forward, shielding his junior sister behind him.

"Threaten?" Qiao Mu couldn't help but scoff. "I never do such boring things."

She walked step by step towards the brother and sister.

Gu Yixuan was actually pressured by her aura, but to protect his pitiful junior sister Xiaoxue, he forcibly suppressed his inner fear and stood bravely in front of Mu Xiaoxue.

"Mu Xiaoxue, do you not understand my words?"

"I said not to play the innocent victim act in front of me."

"This Crown Princess won't fall for your tricks like those two fools beside you."

Tears welled up in Mu Xiaoxue's eyes and spun around, as she pitifully choked out, "I... I didn't."

"Enough with the nonsense, compensate," Qiao Mu coldly interrupted her.

"What... what compensation?" Mu Xiaoxue involuntarily shivered, feeling as if her entire body had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Haven't you had enough!" Lin Miu'er threw off her sister Lin Zhen'er's hand and shouted angrily, "Even if... even if someone from Shadow City attacked you just now, he's already dead! What more compensation do you want? Why don't you chase him underground to demand compensation?"

No sooner had Lin Miu'er's words fallen than she felt several cold gazes pierce her, a hint of killing intent making her whole body tremble. She quickly retreated behind Lin Zhen'er, lowering her head, not daring to look at the expressions of the Crown Prince and the others.

"Compensation!" Qiao Mu impatiently roared at Mu Xiaoxue. "Ten million spirit coins."

Mu Xiaoxue's eyes immediately rounded.

Gu Yixuan and Zhao Yi also stared at her in surprise, simultaneously exclaiming with trembling voices, "Ten million?"

"You!"

"No more nonsense!" Qiao Mu was too impatient to haggle with them anymore. She slowly raised the ice sword in her small hand. "No compensation is fine too; take a sword strike from me!"
