Chapter 5246: 5.0998 Human Nature

Would such actions have any negative impact on it?

If it would affect or harm Quball, then she was sorry, but there was no way she would sacrifice Quball's life for the sake of the so-called masses.

She wasn't that noble; she was just an ordinary young woman, from beginning to end, nothing more.

In fact, she had previously discovered that if the sacred fruit was sliced and consumed with water, it would have some effect.

However, its efficacy wasn't a complete cure, and it was entirely different from the effect of consuming the whole sacred fruit.

After the sacred fruit was sliced and consumed, it still needed to be supplemented with the medicinal power of a high-level pharmacist, which could extend someone's life by a year or half a year on top of the medicinal power.

That was all.

Furthermore, she had never claimed to be a savior. She couldn't selflessly offer Quball, sacrificing Quball's life to save the general public.

Curing this corpse poison might still require some time for research and development.

Not now, and certainly not at the cost of Quball's life.

Qi Xuanxuan and the others all realized that something was amiss. They quickly rushed forward, surrounding the little Crown Princess, glaring menacingly at the restless commoners.

"Do you want to die?"

"Don't move," Qiao Mu said calmly.

Although she wasn't a particularly selfless person, she was a person with principles.

At the very least, she wouldn't let her friends kill these unarmed common folk.

She couldn't do it.

Human nature was selfish; she had always known that, and it couldn't withstand temptation or any attempts.

These people knew she possessed the sacred medicine and wanted to obtain it to save their lives. This initial intention wasn't wrong.

It's just that...

They were not her opponents.

Mu Xiaoxue had finally used her brain.

What she did today was truly brilliant!

Exposing her possession of the sacred medicine in front of so many people, forcing her to either comply or... not comply.

No matter what she did, she would suffer heavy losses.

Complying was impossible.

If she didn't comply... then she was bound to become the public enemy of the Three Continents' citizens, becoming a venomous woman.

Good tactics, good schemes. She truly was Mu Qingya's biological daughter.

"Who said the Crown Princess has sacred medicine in her hands?" A cold voice came from outside.

Mo Lian galloped his horse, leaping off from a distance, not charging directly into the crowd.

He dismounted, and with a flicker of his figure, he was already by the little Crown Princess's side.

"You people, listening to a few lackeys of Heavenly Fate blabbering here, immediately think the Crown Princess has wronged you?" Mo Lian said coldly, "Whoever suspects the Crown Princess of having sacred medicine, step forward for this Prince."

"Your Royal Highness, Xiaoxue knows you wish to protect the Crown Princess, but..."

Before Mu Xiaoxue could finish speaking, she felt a tremendous force strike her chest.

Qin Cao's pupils constricted. He knew that if he didn't act at this moment, Mu Xiaoxue, as an ordinary person, couldn't possibly survive this blow.

But if he did act, with his strength, he might not survive under this Crown Prince either.

However, Mu Xiaoxue had to be saved. He quickly roared, "Mr. Mu, what are you waiting for?"

His figure flashed quickly, grabbing Mu Xiaoxue and retreating.

At the same time, Mu Jingfeng roared, suddenly blocking their path, and with a turn of his hand, unleashed a powerful divine force that collided with the incoming attack.

With a thunderous crash, Mu Jingfeng's mouth bled, and he stumbled back several steps.

Fortunately, his body had been reformed to be as tough as copper and iron, so he could still withstand it.
