Shock jolted through Qiao Mu’s heart, but she imdiately turned around, swiftly dug out so ointnt, and ssily sared it across Qiao Hu’s chest. The hemostatic ointnt was extrely effective, and the wound stopped bleeding as soon as she sared it on, stabilizing Qiao Mu’s heart.
Qiao Mu had just leaned Qiao Hu against a wall in the courtyard when the savage-looking face of a granny suddenly popped up in her line of sight. The granny’s hand, which was dried up like a branch, reached for her neck as well.
Qiao Mu arched back to evade, causing a trace of confusion to flash through the granny’s eyes. Her grabbing motion paused, and she sized up Qiao Mu, a chilly smile turning up on her face. “Little girl is actually a mystic cultivator. Although your cultivation isn’t high, it is quite laudable for your age.”
“Old Senior, may I ask why you suddenly trespassed into my ho and injured my brother?” There was a thick layer of mystic energy on this granny. She reckoned her cultivation was similar to Ghost Saber, the one Crown Prince Lian had killed off with a flick of his finger, and she was likely a level eight mystic cultivator.
Although Qiao Mu was shocked on the inside, her appearance did not reveal anything.
This granny must have felt the Heart of Paradise and traced it here. Qiao Mu clenched her hand into a fist, inwardly bashing herself. She was still too careless.
“Child, where are your parents?”
“Father went out this morning and hasn’t returned yet. Mother took the maid out to shop for groceries.”
Suspicion darted through the granny’s eyes. In truth, when she entered this residence, she had used her mystic conscious to scan her surroundings. Hence, she knew that this little girl was not lying, and there was no one else present in this little residence.
“Little girl, tell Granny the truth, was there anyone who passed by your house? Or did you notice any strange phenonon?”
Qiao Mu honestly shook her head in denial.
The granny looked at her for a mont before suddenly reaching out to suck the unconscious Qiao Hu into her palm. She was very fast, and Qiao Mu could not stop her in ti. Moreover, the difference between their cultivation was too great, so she could not stop her even if she wanted to.
“Hm?” The granny’s thin, shriveled fingers scooped a bit of the ointnt from Qiao Hu’s chest and brought it to her nose for a sniff. Then, she sent a aningful smile to Qiao Mu. “Little girl, how can an impoverished family afford such superior-grade ointnt? I think you should confess truthfully. When I neared your house in passing, I clearly slled the scent that divulges at the opening of a mystic domain that has been ford from the refinent of a mystic realm.”
As expected, she ca for the Heart of Paradise. Qiao Mu inwardly took a deep breath, and her hands pressed against her back tightly clenched into fists.
“If you don’t tell the truth...”—the granny enigmatically smiled at her—”I will refine you lovely young children into puppet demons, preventing you two from being reincarnated for all of eternity.”
Qiao Mu’s clenched fists suddenly opened behind her, and a strength talisman and speed talisman darted into the distance at high speed.
At the sa ti, her icy voice, which made her sound like soone who had crawled out of hell, chanically and flatly said without a ripple, “Kill her.”
The rapidly arriving Ao Ye never knew he could be so fast. He just felt sothing being flicked onto him and with a flash, a special power and speed rushed into his veins.
Without needing another order from Qiao Mu, Ao Ye’s One ter of Grace flew in front of the granny, causing her to subconsciously stagger back in shock and relax her hold on Qiao Hu.
Qiao Mu caught Qiao Hu’s figure and lightly leapt to the side. When she looked back at the granny, it seed like she was staring at a corpse.
That gaze caused even the granny, a person whose hands were covered in blood, to uncontrollably shiver and feel an icy feeling shooting up her spine.
