Chapter 4666: 5.0418 As an Ant
"Thank you, Father." Mu Xiaoxue's brow subtly revealed a hint of joy. She wrapped the crimson silk around her wrist and rose to bow to Mu Jinghong.
"Father, my mother's situation?"
"We're already working on your mother's situation. Don't worry too much. Your mother is an elite member of the organization, and the organization won't abandon her." Mu Jinghong sighed, raising a hand to pat Mu Xiaoxue's shoulder.
"Even if the organization can't find a solution, Father won't abandon your mother. Father will definitely rescue her, so our family can be reunited."
"Father," Mu Xiaoxue displayed an expression of both joy and emotion, subtly expressing her filial affection for her father at the right moment.
Mu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction.
This daughter, just like Qingya, was gentle, sensible, and understood the bigger picture. Although not being able to embark on the path of cultivation was indeed a great regret in life, this daughter excelled in other aspects and was a daughter he could be proud of.
Qiao Mu entered the grotto and raised a lighting pearl.
The once pitch-black grotto was enveloped in a bright glow, encompassing the slender figure huddled in the corner.
Mu Qingya had been curled up there for an unknown duration.
She only knew that several people guarded the grotto entrance, and outside the grotto, there was a faint, almost imperceptible presence that constantly suppressed her.
She understood clearly that this suppression was likely a divine sense restraint and pressure.
She had been in this cave for what felt like days and nights, only aware of intense hunger in her stomach, estimating that roughly seven or eight hours had passed.
"Give her the medicine," Qiao Mu's cold voice resonated in Mu Qingya's ears.
At this moment, Mu Qingya wished desperately that this girl had completely forgotten about her.
She would rather stay in this illusory darkness, day and night, than for Qiao Mu to remember her existence right now.
"You, what are you doing? What are you doing? Let me go, let go!" Mu Qingya struggled desperately, her gaze flitting in terror towards the young men in front of her.
The few men were Cangzhou Guards elites; there was no way Mu Qingya could break free.
One of them held Mu Qingya by the collar like a small chicken, while another roughly forced Mu Qingya's mouth open.
Mu Qingya's face twisted slightly as she watched a soldier take out a medicine bottle and, without any trace of pity, pour an entire bottle of dark, unknown liquid into her mouth.
"Gulp, gulp... cough, cough, cough." Mu Qingya was forcibly held down and made to swallow two large gulps, choking on most of it, her mouth filled with a fishy, bitter taste.
"You, you, you thousand-cut fiend... cough, cough, cough, little demoness!"
Qiao Mu held a lighting pearl, her expression cold as she watched Mu Qingya, who was cursing wildly.
A Cangzhou Guard unceremoniously slapped her across the face.
"It's fine, let her curse," Qiao Mu said coldly. "Let her vent. Yes, being trapped in such a dilapidated place. Forced to drink such a concoction, anyone would curse, wouldn't they?"
"You, you!!" Mu Qingya choked on air, coughing violently as if trying to cough out her lungs.
"Guess when Shadow City will come to rescue you?"
Mu Qingya pursed her lips tightly, glaring hatefully at Qiao Mu.
"Guess again, can they even rescue you?"
"I have thirty-six thousand elite soldiers on this island."
