Chapter 493: Release Them
It really wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a celestial being had emerged from the womb to descend on earth.
With such stunning beauty even at this young age, she was certainly going to grow up to be a femme fatale in the future.
Qiao Mu was only mumbling to herself and hadn’t intended for someone to strike up a conversation with her.
However, two to three people immediately struck up a conversation with her when she spoke.
“Little Miss, these merfolk usually live in the Dark Sea, and they don’t go ashore readily.” When a man next to her spoke up, his chubby wife standing next to him instantly twisted his pig ear and started scolding, “Look look look, why aren’t your eyeballs popping out? Is she that good-looking? Ah??”
“N-Not good-looking, not good-looking! Wife, you’re the prettiest! The prettiest. D-Don’t twist anymore, don’t twist it! My ear, my ear!!” Wuwuwu, saying such untruthful words, I wonder if the Heavens will strike me with lightning, wah!
Not many people paid attention to them as the couple made a din while departing.
At this time, the road was still congested with people everywhere. Even at this point, a lot of people were still hastily packing up their luggage and carrying basket loads out of their homes.
“Merfolk usually advocate for peace. But apparently, at the start of this year, the waters were not too calm, so when merfolk occasionally went ashore to look for food, they were probably captured then.” A cyan-clothed scholar nearby continued.
At this time, Qiao Mu’s gaze met that of the little girl’s.
She reflexively soothed her chest with her hand. The reaction she had right now, like a faintly burning spark, was like the first time she saw the sacred water and it had charged at her body.
She felt a bit stifled in her heart and didn’t feel too comfortable.
The little girl’s longing eyes as she peered at the world outside reminded her of the girl that had died in her arms two years ago.
Inexplicably, she wanted to be willful right now.
After the crowd dispersed towards the two sides, Second Manager Qi mounted his horse and led his men on their journey while pompously holding his head high. Qiao Mu gazed coldly in his direction before suddenly disappearing from her spot.
The cyan-clothed scholar was stunned. He only felt that the little girl next to him had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
However, when he raised his head again, he saw that figure clothed in a fiery-red standing before the caravan as she obstructed Second Manager Qi’s path.
Second Manager Qi was just about to flip out, but upon inspecting the little girl’s features, his saliva had already run down his mouth. His fleshy face was drooling as he gazed at the girl. The voice that came out of his mouth sounded as if he were pinching his throat to speak. It was so tender that it made people’s hairs stand on end.
“Little Miss, for what matter are you looking for me? Is it that you want to go back to Guanlan City together with me, the Second Manager?”
“Release them.” Qiao Mu said two words coldly.
Unexpectedly, Second Manager Qi didn’t get angry and even laughed out loud. “Little Miss really is adorable! But releasing them is certainly a no-no. How about this, if you follow me back to Northern Mo’s capital, we’ll discuss more thoroughly then!”
“Slap!” Without even seeing how the other party attacked, Second Manager Qi only felt his face sting, and he tumbled down from his horse to the ground.
Under everyone’s staring eyes, he fell flat on his face and ate dog sh*t, which immediately amused the surrounding people.
“Great…” Wu Lingqu’s hands that were applauding in a cheer abruptly found themselves in Madam Wu’s hands.
Wu Mantian’s pupils contracted slightly as he gazed in disbelief at the young lady blocking the caravan.
Isn’t that? The divine doctor from the Holy Water Sect?
The Holy Water Sect had been enveloped by vines these two years, which prevented people from ascending the snowy peaks, so where had this little divine doctor come from?
Wu Mantian’s gaze was tinged with surging emotions.
The Holy Water Sect was not completely exterminated; the Holy Water Sect still had survivors.
