Chapter 5288: 5.1040 Grudges

Qiao Mu glanced at him and spoke faintly, "What's your name?"

She couldn't help it; she genuinely couldn't remember this person's name.

She only knew he was a reckless Duo clan member, but now...

The Duo clan had largely perished in that joint battle with the Oblivion River Long clan.

Her grudge with Oblivion River had also come to an end with the appearance of Long Xuanji and the migration of the Long clan members to Oblivion River Cold Valley.

As for...

How Ding Yun later punished or dealt with the Oblivion River Long clan members, that was none of her business.

She herself was too lazy to interfere in the grievances between Ding Yun and the Oblivion River Long clan, and she had no intention of getting involved.

Every cause has its effect; who can clearly explain all the causes and effects?

Duo Shanming initially thought he had misheard.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last heard that hateful voice.

He suddenly spun around, his eyes blazing with rekindled emotion, staring intently at Qiao Mu before him. He shrieked, "It's you! It's you, woman!"

He remembered this dead woman.

That damned woman!

This ghostly, foul woman had thrown him into that nightmarish place for so long, making him eat yellow sand and pebbles day in and day out, never getting a good night's sleep.

How could she do such a thing?

It was such a minor matter; why punish him like this?

Women are just vicious and hold grudges, a tiny little thing, and they immediately seek revenge, torturing people to death.

Qiao Mu glanced at him. "Qiuqiu!"

"Qiuqiu here!" Little Tree Man charged forward, waving his branches, and instantly leaped up.

Extending two branch-like hands, he slapped Duo Shanming's face repeatedly. "Master's asking you a question! Why are you just staring at her instead of answering?"

"Look at that unconvinced expression on your face. What, do you want revenge or something?"

"I think you're lighting a lantern in a latrine to look for crap! I'm telling you, wanting revenge is absolutely impossible." Little Tree Man delivered two thumping punches to his face.

"First, you won't get past this Lord!"

Duo Shanming was utterly infuriated. After being beaten by Little Tree Man, he shrieked, "You woman, back then I only offended you once or twice, and you actually retaliate against me like this!"

"Do you have to be so vengeful?"

"Vengeful? You stinky man! How dare you curse my little Master! I think you're really tired of living!" Little Tree Man rolled his two black, beady eyes, and suddenly lunged forward. Two branches formed a green halo, and with a rumble, he smashed it towards Duo Shanming's head.

Duo Shanming was so scared he slumped to the ground.

He could feel that the immense power unleashed by that tree spirit was something someone of his cultivation level simply couldn't withstand.

Apart from sitting there waiting for death or crying for mercy, he had no other choice.

Duo Shanming's plea of "mercy" had not yet escaped his lips.

He saw Qiao Mu raise her hand and, with a wave, directly snatched the furious tree man into her hand. "Why are you getting angry with a fool?"

Little Tree Man's green halo hadn't yet landed when he heard this, and he nodded. "Right, what's there to be angry about with a clueless idiot?"

The little fellow's eyes narrowed, black and fiery. "If he dares to curse you, I'll beat him to death."

"Alright, I'll ask him." Qiao Mu calmed Little Tree Man down, then turned to face Duo Shanming.

"You still haven't answered my previous question," the little poker face asked faintly.
