Chapter 5021: 5.0773 Confusion

"What are you laughing at?"

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense. Qiao Mu grew increasingly displeased when the old ghost Marquis of Anxing just sat there, motionless, pretending to be dead after she challenged him to a fight. Was he going to fight or not? Why just sit there laughing like an idiot?

Qiao Mu was about to shout at the Marquis of Anxing when a clang of weapons clashing echoed from outside the hall. Mo Lian frowned, seemingly remembering something. He quickly turned to Duan Yue and said, "Tell your people to stop. There are four outside; they are my servants from the Sacrificial Sea Abyss."

"There's also a human-snake, and people from Qi Chuan's Shen Family Manor. Tell them to stop fighting!" If he hadn't suddenly heard the sounds of fighting, Mo Lian might have completely forgotten about Shen Wu and the others by now. He couldn't help it; ever since he first laid eyes on his wife, he hadn't been able to take his eyes off her. At this moment, his eyes, heart, and mind were completely filled with his wife.

His gaze kept darting towards his wife's small belly. His heart was filled with joy, apprehension, anticipation, and melancholy—all sorts of emotions surged in. His gaze was so intense that Lord Qiao Qiao found it almost impossible to ignore him.

Hmph! Lord Qiao Qiao haughtily turned her small head away.

Mo Lian hurriedly took two steps closer, quietly sidling up to his wife, and tugged at her sleeve. "Qiao Qiao, your husband missed you so much."

"All these days and nights, your husband has been thinking of you, missing you, worrying about you. I couldn't eat or sleep; my heart felt especially, especially terrible."

Qiao Mu snorted, her small face set in a stiff expression, resolutely refusing to give him any response.

The little Crown Princess pursed her small lips, her gaze shifting to the doorway. She saw the first person to enter, dragging a snake tail more than two meters long, gliding across the floor. The little Crown Princess froze, then her eyes snapped wide open.

Isn't this... that berserk Saint Beast human-snake? How is he following Qiao Qiao's Lian? From their demeanor, the group seemed very familiar with each other; there was no trace of their life-and-death struggle from before.

Qiao Mu looked at the human-snake with a puzzled and bewildered expression. She remembered this smelly human-snake all too clearly. Back at the entrance of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss, their desperate battle had caused such a commotion. A berserk Saint Beast was almost invincible!

Zuo Lanshan's gaze involuntarily shrunk. He didn't know why, but when he saw the young girl's gaze sweep over him, he felt his tail stiffen. The scales on his tail, which had been cut by the Fuxi Great Sword last time, now seemed to ache again reflexively.

Zuo Lanshan instinctively hid behind Mo Lian, muttering softly, "Control your wife! Look, look, isn't she glaring at me?"

This young girl's gaze was unusually sharp. Zuo Lanshan refused to back down, feeling unable to meet the young girl's piercing gaze. Given the imperceptible pressure he, an elder, exuded, it should be impossible for him to have no effect on the stoic-faced young girl before him.

Zuo Lanshan's eyes flickered. He subtly nodded across the space to the little stoic. "It's truly a case of finding what you seek where you least expect it; we meet again, little girl."

What he originally meant to say was, What a coincidence, little girl, we meet again wherever life takes us. But when the words came out, they sounded completely off.

The little stoic didn't even say a word, pulling out a hundred attack talismans and throwing them directly at him!
