Chapter 5245: 5.0997 The Truth

She continued speaking without pause, pulling out a sound-amplifying mystic tool, and shouted, "You've all been deceived! People, you've all been fooled by this hypocritical woman in front of you!"

"Do you know? Although this woman isn't a pharmacist, she possesses medicine that can cure corpse poison. She does!"

"When she was in Jiawei City, in front of countless people, she saved one of her companions!" As Mu Xiaoxue's voice fell,

Infiltrated stooges in the crowd immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Yes, that's right!"

"Yes, now that Miss Xiaoxue mentions it, I remember too. I was also in Jiawei City at the time."

"The city was in chaos due to the corpse puppets, and everyone was in a panic."

"It was then that a companion of the Crown Princess, while fighting a corpse puppet, was accidentally bitten on the wrist."

"That's right, that's right!" Several scattered voices rang out from the east and west sides of the crowd.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but smile. "Oh? You saw so clearly when Jiawei City was in such chaos. And you even remember their names so distinctly."

"Miss Xiaoxue, you truly speak with such affection."

The stooges' voices immediately ceased.

Mu Xiaoxue, however, pushed on, "You don't need to change the subject! What we're talking about now is that you have sacred medicine that can cure corpse poison. Do you admit it?"

"Do you admit that you have medicine that can cure corpse poison?"

"But you, this hypocritical, selfish, and false woman, you've never thought about sharing this sacred medicine with the world!"

"You secretly hide it away, refusing to use the sacred medicine to save more ordinary people. You just watch the common folk of the Three Continents, one by one, suffer from corpse poison, one by one becoming corpse puppets, transforming into walking dead!"

"You clearly could save them! You, this viper-hearted woman!"

Qiao Mu curled her lips, glancing indifferently at Mu Xiaoxue.

So this was their so-called grand performance?

That's right, once the matter of the sacred medicine was exposed, the common people would harbor resentment towards the Crown Princess, who possessed the sacred medicine but refused to bring it out.

People are like that.

As long as something doesn't directly affect them, they don't care.

But once it falls upon them, then saving their own lives becomes their sole objective.

Now, if there's sacred medicine that can save all their lives, but the Crown Princess is hiding it away and unwilling to bring it out, that's selfishness, that's inhumanity, and it would indeed provoke public outrage.

Even if she used her power to suppress everyone present today,

She believed that the next day, the news would surely spread across every inch of the Three Continents. Qiao Mu would become the most malicious woman, a criminal, in the entire Three Continents!

But did she truly have the ability to save so many people?

She did not.

Although utterly frustrating, that was the truth.

She was utterly powerless to save everyone present.

The sacred fruit, in all these days, had only produced one, which happened to be given to Duanmu Qing.

If it hadn't been so timely, Duanmu Qing's life would probably have been hanging by a thread; perhaps he truly would have had to sever his arm to save his life, as he had previously thought.

Even if, for argument's sake, the sacred fruit could be mass-produced...

Privately, she still wouldn't want to.

Because she had to consider her most important companion, Quball, which was still incomplete, and whether it could produce sacred fruits without restraint.
