Chapter 4529: 5.0281 Slipping Away

"This old woman previously concealed information, which was disloyal to my benefactor and unrighteous to Young Miss. I ask for the death penalty, hoping Young Miss will grant it."

With that, her finger moved, and a steel spike appeared in her palm, which she resolutely aimed at her chest.

Qiao Mu had been watching her intently for a long time. Seeing her move now, Qiao Mu waved her hand, forcefully batting away the steel spike.

"I don't need you to die, just tell me the truth," Qiao Mu said, her gaze coldly fixed on her. "Not only can you not die, but you must also help me with something."

Long Xinghua stared at her in a daze.

For a moment, it was as if she saw that woman in fluttering red, laughing brightly.

"If the people from Heaven's Will come looking for you, continue to play along with them."

She intended to follow the clues and kill those stinking rats hiding in the gutter.

"The poison on you and Xianxian is not difficult to cure. It just needs some time; you understand what I mean, right?"

Long Xinghua's eyes instantly widened.

So, the little stoic had actually known immediately that they might be controlled by someone, that they had problems?

So her previous tentative questions weren't tentative at all.

But she really suspected...

"I like... honest people," the little stoic said, her expression cold, then turned and walked towards Mo Lian and the others.

Crown Prince Mo had repeatedly struggled to resist running over to his wife.

Everyone had excellent hearing, and even from a distance, they had clearly heard the conversation between the little stoic and Long Xinghua.

However, since the two were discussing private matters of the Long clan, they found it inconvenient to disturb them.

Now, seeing the little stoic coming over herself, Crown Prince Mo quickly went to meet her, embracing her, looking down at the little one's face, and frowning. "Qiao Qiao cried."

"Who cried?" The little stoic stiffened her small face, stubbornly glancing at him. "No."

Crown Prince Mo was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Okay, you didn't. Qiao Qiao, you must be tired after a day of commotion."

He winked at her. "Let's find a place to rest first, recharge our energy. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."

Qiao Mu nodded understandingly.

The Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable quickly ran off with the two of them.

What a joke! Qiao Qiao and Mo Lian, those two troublemakers, definitely want to sneak back to the Star Domain to wash up and rest.

If he didn't run with them now, when would he?

Did he really want to be a savage on this desolate island?

The three ran to the snowy region behind the mountain, found a random cold cave, and went inside.

The little stoic set up a formation at the cave entrance and placed an illusionary talisman array there to fool people. Then she turned around and pulled Mo Lian and the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable back to the Star Domain.

The Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable gleefully hugged a pot of wine and ran to the forest star, casually finding a hot spring to bathe in.

Qiao Mu, meanwhile, pulled Mo Lian back to the Evergreen Palace on the main star.

Flying directly to the top-floor bed-chamber, Crown Prince Mo picked up his wife, kicked open the door, and kissed her.

Master Qiao Qiao extended a fist and unceremoniously slammed it onto the back of his head. "Bathe!"

"Mmm, it hurts," Crown Prince Mo rubbed his head against hers, then put his arm around her and plunged into the spacious bathtub behind them.

Splashing water sounds rose, and the little stoic's reluctant murmuring could vaguely be heard.

"Qiao Qiao, why are you mumbling? You yourself said before that a husband and wife should follow the principle of yin and yang harmony!"
