Chapter 5192: 5.0944 Disappointed

That woman (Qiao Mu) acts so outrageously because her cultivation is much higher than hers! If only she, Mu Xiaoxue, had that kind of power... Who would be begging whom then?

"If… if I'm not mistaken, Qiao Mu has not only a portable spiritual domain but also possibly the Spirit of Sacred Wood."

"The Sacred Wood of the Five Spirit Origins??" Mu Xiaoxue's eyes turned crimson, and the flames of jealousy instantly surged deep within her heart. She had heard her mother say that Qiao Mu inherited the Ten-Thousand-Year Siren Pearl gifted by her mother, Long Chuyun. Now her mother said that Qiao Mu not only had a portable spiritual domain but might even possess the Spirit of Sacred Wood.

"According to the news from Shun Tian Fu, it should be highly probable. Qiao Mu possesses not only sacred water but also sacred wood, and perhaps even more secrets that we don't know about."

A strange gleam suddenly flashed in Mu Xiaoxue's eyes. "I… I heard that the Talisman Hall has… has a soul-swapping talisman that can..."

"Slap!" Before Mu Xiaoxue could finish her sentence, Mu Qingya's trembling hand slapped her, making her yelp in pain.

"Foolish!" Mu Qingya looked at her daughter with a "disappointed" expression. "If… if the soul-swapping talisman could… could be useful, do you think… Mother… wouldn't… wouldn't fight for you?"

"Qiao Mu is a cultivator. She has already undergone the Five Spirit Reincarnation and broken through to the divine realm cultivation," Mu Qingya said with difficulty, word by word. "With your ordinary person's soul power, do you think? Can you swap her powerful divine soul?"

"Acting recklessly, you... you might only fall into a place of eternal damnation." Mu Qingya barely managed to support herself. "Daughter, actually, being an ordinary person may not... may not be unhappy."

"I only know that if I remain an ordinary person who accomplishes nothing and doesn't strive for anything, I might just live a mediocre life and gain nothing. I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!" Mu Xiaoxue's voice choked. She pushed away Mu Qingya's arm, covered her face, and ran out, sobbing.

"Xiaoxue!" Mu Jinghong roared in displeasure.

Mu Qingya, however, began to cough violently due to extreme anger.

Zhao Yi quickly said, "Master, I'll go check on Junior Sister."

"Master, I'll go check on Junior Sister too," Gu Yixuan quickly followed. If anything happened to his junior sister, Gu Yixuan felt he might not be able to live. His little junior sister's crying face just now was truly heartbreaking.

Mu Qingya tightly gripped Mu Jinghong's hand, saying disjointedly, "Watch... watch Xue'er, you must... you must watch Xue'er." She understood her child Xue'er's thoughts all too well. A daughter resembles her mother; Xue'er was just like her, so strong-willed, wanting to defy fate. But fate is truly not something that can be explained in a few words.

Mu Jinghong nodded repeatedly, holding Mu Qingya, and said in a deep voice, "You take good care of your health. Once you're better, I'll bring both you and our daughter back to the City of Shadows."

Mu Qingya heard this and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't get better." She knew her own body best. The despicable people like Huang He had used probably no less than a thousand types of medicine on her. Her body was already on the verge of collapse; it was only a matter of time.
