“She’s just a mere woman from the Lower Star Domain! My father is Great General Zhongli! I’m the assertive young lady of the Zhongli family. Let’s see if she dares to harm me!”
At this point, Zhongli Zhiwei was overwhelmed by anger from Qiao Mu and had completely lost her rationality. She had no awareness of what she was saying.
All she knew was that she had lost a considerable amount of face in front of everyone today—completely humiliated.
Now, she felt she had nothing left to lose.
“Ah!” Zhongli Zhiwei suddenly screamed and came to a halt.
She collapsed to the ground with a thud.
A small blue snake slithered out from beneath her body, lifted its head, and surveyed its surroundings. Hissing and flicking its forked tongue, it swiftly returned to its Little Master’s side, obediently climbing onto her wrist.

Quickly blaming himself, he stammered, “I-I’m sorry. This happened because of me. I, I…
In that moment, he was at a loss for words.
Miss Zhongli was usually hot-tempered and often vented her frustration on everyone, but he never expected her to suffer such a humiliating defeat at the hands of this stoic-faced young crown prince consort.
As the aristocrats of the Divinity Continent clashed among themselves, he didn’t want to entangle a common citizen like himself in their affairs.
Qiao Mu casually cast a glance at Old Pa. “It has nothing to do with you.”
From start to finish, Zhongli Zhiwei had directed all her scorn at Qiao Mu, and Old Pa was merely an unwitting pawn in her superficial vendetta.
Qiao Mu coldly assessed Zhongli Zhiwei and pursed her lips with a cynical smile.
‘Do you think I dare to kill you?’
“Why not go to hell and ask the King of Hell yourself?”
Gu Yixuan was left stupefied. While he had witnessed the young crown prince consort’s swift and decisive actions on a few occasions before, he hadn’t anticipated that she would dare to attack Miss Zhongli.
Glancing at Crown Prince MO, who observed the scene from the side, Gu Yixuan was at a loss for words.
“What an unpredictable woman,” Crown Prince MO mumbled. Stepping forward, he held Qiao Mu’s small hand and remarked, “I’ll have my father strip that old fellow of his position later!”
This would spare him from the incessant boasting about the grandeur of being a Great General. Usually, he saw no merit in that title, just empty flaunting of power and privileges. His Imperial Father seemed to believe that the world was entirely conquered by the Zhongli family.
Duan Yue shot an exasperated glance at Crown Prince Mo. ‘I can’t help but feel that this guy is turning into a more and more fatuous ruler…’
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao nodded with an expressionless face. “I believe your father’s judgment in people leaves much to be desired.”

He always keeps cunning officials around him. No wonder the Divine
Province’s development is so sluggish. In the future, the fate of the world might just rely on the two of us.”
Duan Yue sighed inwardly. ‘Compared to MO Lian’s sharp tongue, I seem like a benevolent son to my Imperial Father…’
In terms of sheer audacity, even if Crown Prince MO declared himself second, there was probably no one who would dare to claim the top spot!
“What future?” he thought. “The Divine Province Emperor will surely collapse in disbelief when he hears this.
Gu Yixuan began to speak, unable to hold back, “Crown Prince Consort…”
But the young crown prince consort paid no attention to him. She turned around and pulled MO Lian away.
Suddenly, Huang Sheng exclaimed, “Hey, that hall has appeared! It’s the same hall we visited before..
