Chapter 5219: 5.0971 Maliciousness

An indescribable surge of excitement truly rose from her heart.

"Patriarch Qin," Mu Xiaoxue said, barely containing her excitement, gripping the jade talisman tightly in her hand.

Qin Hong smiled. "As long as you can help me accomplish one task, then... this Qiankun Dou Zhuan Talisman will be yours."

A strong glimmer of anticipation and hope lit up in Mu Xiaoxue's heart. Her eyes instantly brightened, as if illuminated by a thousand stars.

"Okay, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Mu Xiaoxue nodded repeatedly. "Patriarch, whatever you want me to do, I can do anything."

"Don't worry, it will certainly be within your capabilities," Qin Hong said, smiling and nodding at Mu Xiaoxue. "I won't make things too difficult for you."

"Qin Cao."

Qin Cao appeared beside Mu Xiaoxue like a ghost, his face dark. With a vulgar expression, he sniffed at Mu Xiaoxue's back. Mu Xiaoxue shrieked in fright, shrinking back and hiding behind Qin Hong.

"Hahahaha," Qin Hong chuckled lightly. "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, Qin Cao is just joking with you."

"From now on, Xiaoxue, take him with you. With his help, whatever you do will surely be twice as effective."

Mu Xiaoxue saw Qin Cao's insidious, long face and trembled inwardly with fear, but she still dutifully agreed on the surface, softly asking, "May I ask what Patriarch wishes Xiaoxue to do?"

Qin Hong smiled, his eyes staring at her with a strange glow. "I heard that when Jiawei City was besieged by corpse puppets, you happened to be there as well."

"Yes, yes, I was," Mu Xiaoxue said, a little confused.

Qin Hong beckoned to her. "Don't worry, I just need you to go and put on a show. Just like this... you can..."

Mu Xiaoxue cautiously walked closer to Patriarch Qin, leaning in to listen. The more she heard, the wider the smile on her face bloomed. Until finally, a radiant, sunny smile blossomed on Mu Xiaoxue's face.

"Patriarch, rest assured, Xiaoxue will certainly not disappoint your high expectations. Xiaoxue will handle this matter perfectly. Please, Patriarch, await good news!"

"Good, hahahaha!" Qin Hong laughed heartily, clapping his hands and nodding repeatedly. "I truly didn't misjudge you. Good child, once you've completed this task, then this Dou Zhuan Qiankun Talisman will be yours."

"Th-thank you, Patriarch!" Mu Xiaoxue immediately knelt down, bowing excitedly to Patriarch Qin. If she could truly obtain such a miraculous talisman, she was willing to pay any price for it.

What's more, as Patriarch Qin said, this task was actually not difficult at all! As long as she handled this matter successfully...

Mu Xiaoxue took a deep breath, her entire face breaking into a smile. Qin Hong was also very satisfied with her attitude. What he wanted was for Mu Xiaoxue to faithfully work for him. With such a strong goal, Mu Xiaoxue surely wouldn't disappoint his expectations.

"Alright, Qin Cao, send Miss Mu back," Qin Hong waved his hand, putting on a tired expression.

"N-no need, I, I can go back by myself," Mu Xiaoxue said, startled. Honestly, seeing Qin Cao's dark, long horse-like face in the middle of the night still made her a little scared. Rather than letting him escort her, it would be more appropriate to walk back by herself.

Unfortunately, Patriarch Qin didn't intend to indulge her wishes. He smiled and waved his hand. "It's probably too far for you to walk back alone."
