Chapter 5023: 5.0775 Mutual Beating

Qiao Mu retracted the Shocking Lightning Sword from her hand, quietly glanced at the human-snake, and then, with a crisp voice, asked in confusion, "What's your name!"

Zuo Lanshan instinctively replied, "Zuo... Zuo Lanshan!" After speaking, he couldn't help but want to glare at the young girl. He was actually intimidated by the little stoic's shout, completely helpless!

"Ji, Ji Si!"

"Shen Wu..."

"Zhou, Zhou Datong."

Several weak voices followed, one after another. Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable couldn't help but cover his face. Qiao Qiao's shout had intimidated the others as well, causing them to collectively announce their names. Frankly, it was quite amusing...

Qiao Mu heard those faint cries and turned her head to look in the direction of Shen Wu and the others. Ji Si, Old Zhou, and the other four were very quick to understand. They hurried forward a few steps, respectfully bowing to Qiao Mu. "Greetings, Mistress."

Qiao Mu's small eyes subtly glanced at Mo Lian. Mo Lian quickly stepped closer, his face joyful, and pulled on Qiao Mu's small hand. "Qiao Qiao, these are a few subordinates your husband recently acquired."

Qiao Mu looked at him with a complex expression, then turned her back to him, her small hands clasped behind her back, her lips pursed, and trotted away.

Mo Lian looked at the gloating Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable beside him, a bit bewildered. "Rotten Peach Blossom, what's wrong with Qiao Qiao?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable said, his face filled with unconcealed sympathy and disdain. "Qiao Qiao doesn't want to bother with you. Qiao Qiao dislikes you. Qiao Qiao is angry with you." When he said the last sentence, Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable even burst into loud laughter, his smug, annoying expression making Mo Lian's fists itch.

Meanwhile, Duan Yue quietly gave a few instructions to his close guards, telling them to shackle the slumped Marquis of Anxing and Ma Wu with special manacles and transfer them to the dungeon. After giving his orders, Duan Yue turned to Mo Lian with a serious expression. "You, come out."

Crown Prince Mo strolled over, his face still puzzled and before he could speak, he heard Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable call out from behind them, "Hey, Duan Yue, don't leave yet! Get two pots of good wine over here! I'm a bit hungry. Hurry, treat us well."

Duan Yue walked directly outside the hall and stopped. Mo Lian followed him out, quietly saying as he walked, "What can't be said inside..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Duan Yue suddenly turned and drew a three-foot-long green sword, thrusting it towards Crown Prince Mo without a word. The silver light flashed and vanished. The Crown Prince moved swiftly, leaping onto the rooftop with a single bound.

Duan Yue pursed his lips, saying nothing. With a flick of his robe, he followed, leaping onto the eaves. The three-foot-long sword in his hand became even more fierce as he attacked Mo Lian.

"Clang, clang, clang." The long swords clashed, making crisp ringing sounds.

This sound immediately drew Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable out of the hall. He looked up and saw the scene of swords clashing back and forth, almost dropping his jaw. He hurriedly followed below, running and shouting, "Hey, you two, I told you to get wine, why are you fighting?"

Although Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable didn't understand the reason, he saw that while their attacks were fierce, there was no killing intent, indicating it was clearly... a mutual beating for fun. Thus, he wasn't particularly nervous. He simply followed the two figures leaping across the rooftops, running and running, into another courtyard.

Through the long latticed window of the bedchamber, he saw the little stoic lying by the window, wrapped up like a small cocoon, quietly sleeping with an expressionless face.
