Chapter 5345: Destruction

"I harmed your mother, Long Chuyun, yes, it was me... I was petty, I saw her talent, I envied her, I plotted against her. I, I coveted her Ten Thousand Year Merman Pearl, I, I, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Xiaoxue."

"It's all my fault, my fault. I... it's me. Please spare my daughter, she's innocent." Mu Qingya prostrated herself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly with all five limbs touching the ground. "I am willing to die, I am willing to do anything! Just let her go, please let her go. She's even younger than you. If your mother, Long Chuyun, were alive, she definitely wouldn't involve her in this..."

"Shut up!" Qiao Mu roared, her dark eyes like the cold light of starlight, emitting a chilling glow. "What right do you have to mention her again? How dare you mention her?! My mother, is she someone you can mention?! Don't let me hear you utter those three words again. You're not worthy!"

Mu Qingya trembled all over, nodding repeatedly, and then kowtowed again, "I, I know, I know! Crown Princess, it's all my fault, yes, I was deeply cunning, I was fanciful. I shouldn't have sought this! I shouldn't have, Crown Princess."

The little Crown Princess looked at her coldly, her lips curling upwards. "Does it hurt?"

Mu Qingya looked at her with a face full of fright. This was the second time the Crown Princess had asked her today if it hurt. This terrifying question made Mu Qingya feel utterly cold, almost unable to speak normally.

Qiao Mu, however, didn't seem to want her to answer. She turned and waved her hand at Mu Xiaoxue. "Mu Xiaoxue, I'm giving you a chance to live."

"Within five minutes, crawl out of here. As long as you can get out of the main gate, I'll let you go."

A hint of extreme grief and indignation flashed in Mu Xiaoxue's eyes. She glared resentfully at Qiao Mu, opening her mouth.

"It seems you don't need this chance."

Qiao Mu's cold voice had barely risen when Mu Qingya began to pound on the barrier, crying out repeatedly, "No, no, it's not, Crown Princess. Xiaoxue, she's willing, she's willing!"

Mu Xiaoxue glared furiously at Mu Qingya, the resentment towards her mother once again rising to new heights in her heart. All the humiliation she suffered today was because of her, because of this useless mother! She absolutely hated Mu Qingya to death, hated her and everyone else in the world to death.

The little Crown Princess gave a cold glance, and Xiaoye unhesitatingly drew the long sword from his waist. The situation was too overwhelming; no matter how much raging fury surged within Mu Xiaoxue's heart, she couldn't help but soften and kneel under the sword tip.

She plopped to the ground, crying loudly while laboriously crawling forward.

Qiao Mu watched her coldly. "You only have five minutes. Are you sure you want to keep wasting time like this?"

Mu Xiaoxue burst into a loud cry, but her hands and feet gained strength, and she crawled out of the woodshed entrance. She didn't dare to look at the black-clad dark guards blocking both sides of the woodshed entrance; their expressions must have been filled with immense contempt at this moment. She dared not look at anything, or even listen to anything. She could only grit her teeth and crawl forward with all her might, trying hard to crawl.

The path from the woodshed to the main gate took some time even to walk, let alone for her to crawl when she was so enraged that her hands and feet trembled. Her fair hands rubbed against the ground, leaving streaks of red and blood. Her lips were tightly bitten by Mu Xiaoxue, already bleeding.

Such humiliation, such torment, she, Mu Xiaoxue, would engrave firmly in the depths of her heart, imprinted on her very soul.
