Chapter 4606: 3.0358 No Need for Pleading

Qiao Mu looked up and saw Long Hui and Long Xiangyun quickly approaching behind Ming Yasi and Ah Li, the two brothers. Both of them had rather strange expressions at the moment, looking as if they wanted to speak but hesitated.

"What is it?" Qiao Mu glanced at them indifferently.

Long Xiangyun took a deep breath, speaking somewhat stammeringly, "That, just now, the round bead was, was…"

"Could it be a refined secret realm?"

"You, you, you captured that guy from the Duo clan of Wangchuan, captured him inside?" Long Xiangyun didn't know why, but as she looked at the little stoic's cold face, her words became a little less confident.

"Are you trying to plead for that good-for-nothing?" Qiao Mu swept her with an unceremonious glance. "What is he to you? Your husband?"

"Of course not!" Long Xiangyun's small face flushed crimson, and she shook her head indignantly. "He's just a dissolute fellow from the Duo clan of Wangchuan. How could I, how could I possibly fancy such a person?"

"It's best that you don't." Qiao Mu interrupted Long Xiangyun emotionlessly, stating coldly, "This person acted recklessly and provoked us without cause. Since he cannot control his own behavior, let reality teach him how to be a person."

Long Xiangyun was instantly choked.

Long Hui's expression was also a bit awkward. He was truly convinced that among the wealthy and influential families of Wangchuan, there were always a few useless individuals, like specks of rat droppings that couldn't be picked out cleanly. It was one thing for them to lord it over others in Wangchuan on a daily basis, but now they had foolishly courted death by provoking the little Crown Princess.

Was the little Crown Princess someone who would have a civil conversation with you? She had always been the type of ruthless person who either wouldn't fight you, or if she did, she'd beat you to death. She certainly wouldn't let you off just because your family elders were powerful.

"Prepare to disembark." Qiao Mu turned to leave, but was called back by Long Hui's light cough.

"Cousin."

"What, you want to plead for that big idiot?"

Long Hui subtly twitched the corner of his mouth. "Cousin, the Duo clan of Wangchuan is usually quite respectable. It's true that their young master's words and actions were a bit excessive."

"The Duo clan of Wangchuan can be lumped in with pirates; how good can they be?" Qiao Mu unceremoniously interrupted him. "Wasn't the Fiery Nightmare team a pirate ship that had been roaming Wangchuan for years?"

Long Xiangyun said indignantly, "I truly didn't expect that the pirate group famous in Wangchuan would actually be part of Adult Wu Cheng's Sea Shark Team."

Qiao Mu glanced at the siblings but didn't ask for more details. The old affairs of Wangchuan had nothing to do with her; she didn't have the habit of prying into every last detail.

"Wu Cheng was once a great general of our Wangchuan," Long Hui sighed, turning to look at Qiao Mu as she passed him. "Years ago, due to a misunderstanding, Wu Cheng left with a portion of the Sea Shark Team. It was only today that we learned he had formed a Fiery Nightmare Team, roaming the seas for years."

"Why are you telling me this?" Qiao Mu looked disinterested, turning to glance at Long Hui. "Do you think I'm that sympathetic of a person?"

"Whether others live well or not, whether they're pirates, or what they've done, it has nothing to do with me. Especially some of your Wangchuan's messy affairs, they are even less related to me."

The path was chosen by them, and how to walk it was also their choice. Since they chose the path of piracy, they must have shed the blood of many ordinary merchants over the years.
