Qiao Mu retaliated with a cold glare. The sacred wood vine extended from her hand, dispersing Zhongli Zhiwei’s spiritual power with a whip.
Moments later, she struck again. From a distance, a resounding thud echoed.
A whip mark emerged on Zhongli Zhiwei’s body, causing her to crumple in agony and collapse to the ground.
“Miss Zhongli.” Gu Yixuan swiftly flew forward, positioning himself in front of Zhongli Zhiwei, and reprimanded Qiao Mu, “Have you finished causing a scene?”
“How absurd!” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s gaze turned icy in an instant!
She extended her hand, the vine whip crafted from the sacred wood curling towards Gu Yixuan.
Of course, Gu Yixuan wouldn’t just stand there and bear the brunt of Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s whip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe whip landed on Zhongli Zhiwei once more.
She had barely lifted herself when she collapsed again, screaming in agony.
“See, you’re so eager to save her.” Qiao Mu’s tone was cold. “Why pretend to be holier-than-thou, especially towards me?”
“I’m not buying it!” With those words, her black eyes, akin to the depths of an icy pond, glared frigidly at Gu Yixuan.
In a flash, they darted towards him.
“Just now, when this imperious woman was slapping and scolding, you remained silent.”
“You didn’t speak up when you pointed at Old Pa’s face and berated me, the
Crown Prince Consort.”
“And now you think you have the right to speak?”
“Get lost!
Qiao Mu shouted furiously. With a quick flip of her fingers, dozens of chilling purple talismans soared into the air, swiftly targeting Gu Yixuan.
Gu Yixuan, taken aback, hurriedly retreated, but the dozen or so talismans were already closing in on him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“You people are truly hypocritical,” Qiao Mu uttered with an icy gaze, watching as the confused man was tossed around by the attacking talismans.
“It’s as if in this world, it’s acceptable to curse and disrespect others, but responding in kind is forbidden?”
Her gaze remained cold as she addressed Gu Yixuan. She flicked her wrist suddenly. “Go, bite her to death.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Yixuan was caught off guard. He hadn’t anticipated that his attempt to save the young crown prince consort would backfire, causing her anger to escalate and intensify her desire to harm him.
“Crown Prince Consort, please have mercy!” Gu Yixuan hastily pleaded. “Miss Zhongli acknowledges her mistake!”
Gu Yixuan wasn’t foolish; he finally realized that trying to intervene in front of the young crown prince consort was an ill-fated move.
In truth, Miss Zhongli only needed to offer an apology to resolve the situation. It was entirely possible that if he hadn’t intervened. the matter would have concluded after the young crown prince consort “cleansed” Miss Zhongli’s mouth!
Even if Miss Zhongli had been exasperated, she would likely have faced only two lashes from the young crown prince consort.
However, the situation seemed to be escalating into a deeper emotional turmoil because of his interference.
Gu Yixuan swiftly assisted Zhongli Zhiwei in rising from the ground. Ignoring the fact that she was covered in urine, he urged, “Miss Zhongli, apologize to the Crown Prince Consort.”
Gu Yixuan believed that saving her life was the top priority.
To his surprise, Zhongli Zhiwei angrily pushed his hand away.. Her face reddened as she retorted, “Apologize to her? Who does she think she is?”
