Chapter 5036: 5.0788 I'll Shield You
With 30,000 elites stationed on Snow Island, even if the Heaven's Will people wanted to attack Snow Island, they'd have to weigh whether the endeavor was worth it.
"Qiao Qiao, I'll send people to escort you back."
Qiao Mu quickly shook her head, tilting her small head. "I'll use a teleportation talisman array! As long as I don't run into any bad guys who block my divine sense on the way, if I leave tomorrow morning, I can reach the outskirts of Dragon Flame City by sunset."
"Me, me, me!" The Human-Snake immediately perked up, running over to curry favor. "Fierce girl, you can rest assured. As long as I'm by your side, no one can block your divine sense."
Except for the Glazed Light Mirror, the Human-Snake added in his mind.
However, the Glazed Light Mirror Holy Spirit was also gone now; it should be with Brother Mo Lian.
Just a moment ago, this little stoic had indeed emanated an aura of a divine domain opening up. The Human-Snake didn't say much after sensing it.
Presumably, the sudden disappearance of Brother Mo Lian and Brother Peach Blossom was closely related to the divine domain.
But since they didn't want to reveal it, he couldn't press the matter.
However, the younger generation nowadays truly possessed a dazzling array of profound and miraculous treasures, which was truly astonishing.
Duan Yue glanced at the Human-Snake, warning coldly, "You must be very careful in everything. If anything happens to Qiao Qiao, you understand."
Zuo Lanshan snapped back to reality, inexplicably shuddering. He thought to himself: Why do these young juniors nowadays feel like they're all fiercer than the last?
He pouted and said, "Fierce girl, don't disbelieve me. I made a bet with Brother Peach Blossom once and lost a year's time. For this year, I'll stay by your side and protect you well."
"As an elder Sacred Beast like me, it's naturally impossible for me to lie to a junior like you. If I say a year, it means a year. Within this year, no matter where you go, I'll be with you."
"Even if you turn the heavens upside down, I'll handle it properly for you."
Qiao Mu was startled by his words. "What bet?"
Speaking of that, it was truly a tale of bitter tears.
Qiao Mu didn't notice Ji Si and the others nearby, who twitched their mouths several times.
Past events were too painful to recall...
The elder Sacred Beast Zuo Lanshan snorted, waving his hand. "You don't need to know that. You just need to know that I won't harm you, and I will protect you every step of the way, shielding you from everything! That's enough."
Lord Qiao Qiao glanced at the Human-Snake several times, and suddenly felt that this guy seemed a bit more agreeable.
Since he had said he would protect her for a year, acting as her muscle and bodyguard...
Then...
She couldn't very well continue to think about revenge, nor could she gather Chu Chu and the others to gang up on him anymore.
The Human-Snake suddenly felt a chill pass over his head and looked at Qiao Mu with a puzzled gaze.
"Alright then," the little stoic said faintly, with a cold expression.
Since this guy was being so sensible, she would reluctantly, temporarily ease things with him...
"We'll depart by teleportation array tomorrow morning."
"Qiao Qiao, Marquis Anxing, he..."
Qiao Mu's steps paused. She calmly lowered her brows, her voice cold and merciless. "Those who seek to kill me shall precede me to the Yellow Springs!"
Duan Yue's lips curved into a smile, and he nodded. "Good."
That night, news came from the prison that Marquis Anxing had poisoned himself to death.
His Majesty issued an imperial decree to confiscate the Marquis Anxing Mansion, with all its wealth being used for military provisions and supplies in preparation for war against Heaven's Will.
Although the Marquis Anxing's family members were spared the death penalty, they were exiled to the frontier due to the Marquis's involvement, to reclaim barren land.
The once glorious Marquis Anxing Mansion became desolate and ruined overnight, never to return to its former splendor.
