Chapter 5253: 5.1005 Complete Failure

"You still want to wrongly accuse the Crown Princess!"

"You still want to wrongly accuse good people, huh?"

"You, a vile woman of Heavenly Fate, what right do you have to bluster here?"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!!"

The crowd surged with emotion, everyone enraged, their faces flashing with anger.

Mu Xiaoxue was utterly stunned.

From childhood until now, she had never encountered such a situation.

She was like a criminal, paraded before everyone, with everyone spitting and cursing at her, as if she were an unforgivable sinner of all ages.

But...

She was clearly speaking the truth, clearly what she had witnessed with her own eyes.

Why, why did no one believe her?

At this moment, Mu Xiaoxue completely lost control, tearing off her elegant, pure mask, and letting out a heart-wrenching string of curses at the surrounding crowd.

But her voice was shrill, and no matter how high she yelled, she couldn't cover the roar of the crowd.

A few shouts from others completely drowned out her voice.

Mu Xiaoxue stomped her foot in exasperation, then turned to look at Qin Cao, who was coldly observing.

Wasn't this Qin Cao sent by the Family Head? Why is he always standing by, watching? Why doesn't he help her speak?

Qin Cao merely gave her a cold smile, that gloomy gaze making her shiver twice.

"Miss Mu, you have failed."

Clearly, the situation before them was beyond redemption.

Mu Xiaoxue had failed, and completely so.

Tsk, with Mu Xiaoxue's weak combat power, she truly couldn't defeat that formidable Crown Princess.

Qin Cao's chilling words almost made Mu Xiaoxue cry and kneel.

Failed?

What did failure mean?

Failure meant that she would never get that Heaven-and-Earth-Shifting Talisman.

She would never get it...

No!

Humans are like this: once they have hope and then fall into pain and despair, it becomes even harder to accept than when there was no hope at all.

Mu Xiaoxue was in exactly such a state.

She had originally thought her life could be completely turned around.

But now... her only hope seemed to be shattered. She couldn't accept it, she truly couldn't accept it.

"Please, give me another chance. Lord Qin Cao, please, I beg you, give me another chance!" Mu Xiaoxue collapsed in front of Qin Cao with a thud, desperately pulling at his sleeve, pleading.

Qin Cao sneered, pulled back his sleeve, and glanced at her.

His master had ordered him to bring this woman back, regardless of success or failure.

It seemed... she still had another use, so she couldn't die just yet.

Furthermore, this woman was quite attractive, and he still had plans...

Qin Cao gave Mu Xiaoxue a gloomy smile, lifted her with one hand, and was about to leap onto the rooftops to escape quickly.

Just then, a streak of black light zipped towards his chest.

The Dark Gold Arrow was moving at its maximum speed, reaching Qin Cao in mere fractions of a second.

Qin Cao didn't panic, activating a defensive shield to block the initial wave. When he looked back, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Countless fiery lines, twisting like black little snakes, surged towards him, so fast they were almost suffocating.

In the nick of time, to save his own life, Qin Cao no longer cared about Mu Xiaoxue in his arms.

He simply threw her to the ground, then rapidly scaled the wall and swiftly vanished.

Hah, running alone, it was naturally much easier to escape.

Dragging along a dead weight that couldn't help was an entirely different story.
