Shaoyao was unable to pull her back in time, and she just watched helplessly as her little master gallantly took a leap downwards!
She and Haitang looked at each other in dismay.
Bam! Qiao Mu hopped in front of Xiao Mi and patted her shoulder before the latter could regain her senses. “Are you okay, Princess Mi.”
“Li’l Sis!” After recovering from her surprise, Xiao Mi grasped her petite hands excitedly. “Oh my, that really frightened me to death just now. I didn’t expect that temperamental guy to be so awfully shameless! He actually attacked a pretty girl like me in front of such a big crowd!”
Qiao Mu: …
Why did she feel like Princess Mi was genetically programmed with funny cells?
Whenever she saw her, it was like all her troubles would vanish into thin air. Sometimes, this fellow really was so innocent that it was scary!
“Alright, pretty girl, let me escort you to the visitor quarters.” Qiao Mu patted Xiao Mi’s hand.
Xiao Mi agreed with a giggle. “Sure, you don’t know how dead tired I am from the journey here.”
“Stand right there!” Suddenly, a harsh voice interrupted the two’s conversation.
Xiao Mi wrinkled her nose, seemingly recalling something. She tugged on Qiao Mu’s sleeve and inquired in a suppressed voice, “Li’l Sis, do you still recognize that person?”
Qiao Mu cast Asi an indifferent glance.
That glance was of one directed toward a stranger, and it made Asi’s heart sink with a thump.
Why did it turn out like this? The person whom he constantly had on his mind actually did not have even the faintest impression of him upon meeting him again.
That was why he shouted to stop her with a resentful expression.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu asked Xiao Mi with her gaze: Who is this guy?
Back when they were in the Mystic Beast Forest, Xiao Mi was already aware that her li’l sis had long forgotten about this person, Asi.
Was there something that was even worse than being completely forgotten?
Sighing with a shake of her head, Xiao Mi whispered, “Do you still remember Shuwang City? You had captured a drug tester back then.”
“It was you!” Qiao Mu turned around in surprise and glowered at Asi.
Asi’s eyes lit up, but he immediately discovered that the little lady’s eyes were tinted with displeasure.
Because Qiao Mu remembered that it was this person and his men who hurled sharpened bamboo at Murong Xun and the others from their tercel squadron at the entrance to Shuwang City!
This person was extremely abominable for attacking without any explanation.
Qiao Mu swept him a contemptuous glance before turning around and pulling Xiao Mi along with her. She loathed to give Asi another glance now.
Asi erupted from rage.
However, before he could speak, Ali had already jumped out and roared, “Did you not hear us tell you to stand there?”
“The likes of you want to keep me here?” The little stoic automatically stomped her foot in wrath.
The assistant minister of rites, Huang Yi, shouted “sh*t” in his mind. Sure enough, he saw the ground ripple from beneath them, churning toward the youth Ali.
“Ali!” Achir screeched. Just as she was about to move, the ground morphed into several adult-sized palms and grabbed onto her skirt, pinning her to the spot.
“Ah!” Achir shrieked in terror.
No sooner said than done, Asi leapt to his younger brother Ali’s side and pushed him away. He then rapidly encircled his palm with a layer of earth to suppress the waves of earth that Qiao Mu had struck out.
A thick earth defense rose up in front of Ali, shielding him from injury.
