Chapter 3023 Scared to Piss
She had genuinely grown apprehensive of the stoic girl's countenance. She had privately resolved never to provoke her again in the future. After enduring numerous trials at her hands, Madam Guo'an had learned to be submissive.
As the dignified Madam Guo'an, she believed that avoiding any confrontations with the couple would ensure her life of contentment with the handsome man. It was her penchant for singling out the stoic girl that had led to all the complications. However, that stoic facade wasn't one easily penetrated. Just by witnessing her cold and solemn demeanor moments ago, it was clear that she wasn't one to be trifled with, not even by an Emperor!
Had it not been for Mr. Zhao ultimately relenting and falling to his knees, begging for mercy, he might have met his end at the hands of the stoic girl. Madam Guo'an was convinced that the stoic girl wouldn't have hesitated to carry out her threats.
The question that lingered in her mind was, "Why did she spare her?"
Madam Guo'an considered that she herself was truly not worth the trouble.
Strangely, this thought was firmly etched in her heart. Shivering, she clung to the muscular arm of the Yellow Sheep and whispered, "How is Mr. Zhao?"
Yellow Sheep weakly shook his head. The shock that had gripped him was still fresh in his mind.
Crown Prince Mo had displayed no leniency toward Madam Guo'an and had dispatched Mr. Zhao with a single blow. The Crown Prince was sending a clear message to Madam Guo'an, signaling that any further provocations would result in dire consequences for her.
Mr. Zhao's misfortune stemmed from his decision to defend Madam Guo'an, ultimately marking him as a nuisance in the eyes of the couple.
Yellow Sheep couldn't help but contemplate how unyielding and ruthless the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort were, and he found himself at a loss for words.
After all, the two sides held different positions, and naturally, their opposition was distinct.
The Consort could potentially seize this rare opportunity to make a move against the Crown Princess Consort. Although the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort were ruthless, they had made the first advantageous move. After all, in the end, the victor would be the ruler and the defeated, the bandit. The Consort shouldn't be afraid of taking a beating and conceding defeat, should she?
Yellow Sheep sighed and assisted the limping Madam Guo'an to sit down. He reminded her, "Madam, let me bandage your wound. When you enter the water later, the blood may attract the attention of predatory creatures in the water."
Madam Guo'an listlessly nodded and allowed Yellow Sheep to tend to her without uttering a word.
The stoic girl reached out to smooth the strands of hair drifting onto Madam Guo'an's forehead before glancing back at her. Madam Guo'an resembled a startled creature, sitting upright and drawing closer to the railing.
Qiao Mu cast a chilly glance in her direction before withdrawing her gaze. Madam Guo'an felt an icy chill pervading her entire body, and as she touched her forehead, she discovered her skin drenched in cold sweat. The sight had frightened her to the point where she almost lost control.
Anxiety and unease permeated the ship. The academy students couldn't help but peer into the water below. From their vantage point, they could only witness the Exquisite Ball's faint, flickering five-colored light and presumed that Holy Daughter was capturing the saber-toothed fish.
"It would be so much better if she could take all the saber-toothed fish away. Even if we have to enter the water, we wouldn't need to confront the encirclement of thousands of saber-toothed fish."
The stoic girl reached out to grip the railing and peered down. Suddenly, she blinked and retreated into her husband's embrace. "They're coming!"
Boom! A resounding tremor emanated from the ship's bottom, leaving the people in the standard class in a state of bewilderment. They felt the vessel quaking violently. The once hole-riddled ship disintegrated and crumbled in an instant!
