Chapter 5217: 5.0969 Shameless to a New Level

"Just humbly accept the punishment, why implicate Xiaoxue? Will being punished together be more comfortable than being punished alone?"

Luo He stared at Mu Xiaoxue's expression, his mood shifting. After a long silence, he burst into maniacal laughter. This woman truly dared to say anything! She was indeed Mu Qingya's daughter, cunning and selfish enough to abandon everyone around her when trouble arose.

Zhao Yi, on the other hand, angrily stomped his foot and roared, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, why are you doing this to me? Why?"

Xiaoxue made him take the blame, and he accepted it, but what was with Xiaoxue's attitude, this eagerness to distance herself from him? Everything he did was for Xiaoxue. In the end, was he to be told that it was all just a joke?

Mu Xiaoxue didn't even glance at Zhao Yi. She knelt there properly, saying tearfully, "I hope Patriarch and Master Luo will do me justice."

"Good!" Master Luo let out a demonic laugh, extending his fingers. Suddenly, five attack talismans shot out from between them, instantly piercing Zhao Yi's body where he hung.

"Ah!" Zhao Yi struggled fiercely, broke free from the beam, and crashed heavily to the ground. He curled up, feeling as if a large hole had been torn in his chest, with a terrifying gale violently rushing in from outside. These five attack talismans made his already battered body unable to withstand the force. In an instant, he became riddled with holes.

"Ah!" Zhao Yi's fall landed him right in front of the little white flower, Mu Xiaoxue, startling her into quickly standing up and retreating several steps. She truly hadn't expected Master Luo to be so ruthless, resolving Senior Brother Zhao with a single strike. She honestly hadn't anticipated it. Master Luo actually took Senior Brother Zhao's life?

Watching Senior Brother Zhao wriggle and crawl on the ground like an insect, Mu Xiaoxue felt a mix of emotions. She, she didn't want to kill Senior Brother Zhao. How could she have known that Master Luo could be so cruel? Master Luo actually killed someone for a talisman; he killed Senior Brother Zhao, killed...

Mu Xiaoxue's face turned pale with fright as she retreated step by step, suddenly bumping into a dusty Buddha shrine. Horrible! Too horrible. Master Luo actually killed someone, he killed Senior Brother Zhao!

Mu Xiaoxue now had nowhere left to retreat. She could only press herself against the old Buddha shrine, her eyes filled with fear as she stared at Zhao Yi writhing on the ground. Zhao Yi now had no good skin left on his entire body. As he crawled, he dragged a long trail of blood on the ground. He wanted to crawl to Mu Xiaoxue, to grab her hand and call her name one last time. Although this junior sister had ultimately harmed him greatly and caused his death, he, he didn't want to hate her, he didn't want to...

Zhao Yi fumbled, trying to crawl forward. The last thing he saw was Mu Xiaoxue's face, contorted by fear and anger. His hand never touched her even a little. Because Mu Xiaoxue, terrified, directly kicked and climbed onto the Buddha shrine, staying far away from him, avoiding him as if he were a plague.

Zhao Yi finally died beneath the Buddha shrine. He died in this desolate, ruined temple.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoxue actually let out a sigh of relief. Zhao Yi was dead, so the crime of theft would naturally be carried by this dead man. She was Mu Xiaoxue, the eldest daughter of Shadow City, and she couldn't bear even a tiny bit of infamy in this lifetime. Besides, she was innocent!
