3110 Condescending
Qiao Mu glanced at him and promptly stowed away the items he had given her into her inner world. She then pressed him onto the wet rock with one finger. “Sit properly!”
“Hey, I paid for your treatment. Can’t you treat me with a better attitude?”
Qiao Mu grabbed a chunk of ointment and applied it to his wound with a plop. The pain caused him to grimace and furrow his brow.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao secretly reveled in satisfaction. She harrumphed. “Your mouth is annoying. In the future, whenever you see Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao, you’ll be able to anticipate the pain you’re about to endure. Hurry up and stay as far away from Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao as possible!”
“Did you do it on purpose?” Ming Asi frowned and sat up straight with his legs crossed. “Don’t tell me you tampered with medicine to intentionally make me suffer and crash.”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao looked at him expressionlessly. “You don’t believe me.”
“I believe you!” Ming Asi was taken aback and nodded helplessly. “Alright, alright, go on. I won’t blame you even if I crash to death, okay?”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao snorted inwardly and eased her grip.
Although this person was irritating and had a sharp tongue, he was undeniably resilient.
One must realize that Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao had added ten times the pain-stimulating ingredient to bruise ointment. Yet, he endured until now. If he didn’t harrumph, he was truly a tough man.
Forget it, I won’t stoop to his level! I’ll use my true strength to beat him up in the future! No more fancy tricks.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao resolved within herself and removed the pain-inducing medicine.
The little lady lowered her head, concentrating on treating the injury on his arm.
Ming Asi simply gazed at her in a daze. Despite the heavy rain, he couldn’t discern the little lady’s delicate face clearly through the downpour.
But for some reason, he had a faint false impression that at this moment, he was so close to her, so close that he could almost touch her…
Boom! An earth-shattering explosion shocked Ming Asi, causing him to retract his hand slightly. His fingers brushed past Qiao Mu’s sideburns as she looked up and turned her head.
The resounding voice echoed throughout the entire canyon, startling a flock of mute black crows and arrow hawks.
Ming Asi propped himself up with one hand and instinctively pulled the little girl behind him. “Hey, there seems to be an unforeseen event.”
A hurried howl came from outside the crowd, accompanied by the calm voice of the Holy Son. “Everyone, stabilize! Up, up! All of you, go to the rock mountain and hide first!”
A few Hong Estate Academy students quickly turned around and attempted to climb the rock wall with both hands. Just as they were about to ascend, they were forcefully pushed back down by a rain of arrows.
Behind the rocks on both sides of the canyon, more than ten pitch-black and shiny cannon barrels extended from the towering stone walls, illuminated brightly under the night sky.
“Spirit Stone Cannon?”
Everyone couldn’t help but shudder as they gazed at the dozen or so cannons emitting black light.
The Holy Son cursed in his heart.
These people occupied the high ground and used the Spirit Stone Cannons to create numerous problems. It seemed like it was going to be over…
“Everyone below, listen up.” At this moment, the Ghost-Faced Hall Master, occupying the advantageous terrain, shouted at everyone from above, “If you don’t want to die, stand out from the team immediately! Surrender a wisp of your soul and submit to our Heavenly Fate!”
