1663 A Beautiful Misunderstanding
Qiao Mu stroked her little cauldron with a faint smile on her lips.
As if sensing its master's affection for it, the little cauldron glowed faintly in response.
Finally, she put the little cauldron away into her conscious pool with a whoosh.
Qiao Mu then coughed lightly before looking up at Qi Xuanxuan and the rest. "You guys should go a bit farther away. This medicinal powder doesn't smell all that nice."
It's more than not nice!
It simply stinks to the high heavens!
The moment she scattered that medicinal powder, everyone looked like they were constipated.
Qiao Mu finished scattering the medicinal powder calmly and collectedly before getting back with them again.
Qi Xuanxuan pinched her nose and asked Qiao Mu curiously, "Qiaoqiao, don't you find it stinky?"
Wasn't that stoic face too unperturbed!
Qiao Mu shook her head. She looked at the gagging little fatty and deadpanned, "Oh, I blocked my sense of smell."
What???
Ma Ta, the little fatty, and Qi Xuanxuan all looked at Qiao Mu in dumbfoundment.
See, wasn't this little one toying around with them?
Couldn't she just have told them to block their sense of smell like her from the start? Why did she make them go farther away in dead earnest?
It was just freakin' like they wouldn't be able to smell the stench if they went farther away?
Beside them, Duanmu Qing burst out in laughter while looking at Qiao Mu unblinkingly.
He didn't know whether it was just his false impression.
He felt that this little lady had been avoiding his gaze both wittingly and unwittingly this whole time.
Duanmu Qing couldn't help but crease his brows when he came to this conclusion.
The little expression that Qiao Mu swept at Ma Ta and the others was simply…!
Those cold eyes were clearly saying 'Are you stupid? You don't even know to block your sense of smell when it's stinky and have to be taught.'
Ma Ta was unable to respond.
Qi Xuanxuan and the little fatty exchanged glances before both letting out a sigh.
Fine, they got tricked by the little stoic!
"Let's go!" Qiao Mu waved her petite hand.
The group of five headed for Zone Two.
The mentor had said earlier that they were responsible for their own actions if they treaded into Zone Two.
There was a divine beast presiding over Zone Two that was not to be provoked.
But it wasn't like it wasn't okay to do something weird at the entrance to Zone Two!
Qiao Mu's party moved quickly before noiselessly retreating from the boulders.
On the other hand, the several teams that had been fighting the mystic beasts were all incredibly worn out. They lamented that their lives were about to come to an end here.
"The mystic beasts are withdrawing!" Someone suddenly shouted.
Fairy Huanghe, who was holding a mystic weapon with a shaky hand, promptly also discovered that the beast pack was slowly retreating.
These beasts were not attacking them like mad anymore. Instead, they were scampering everywhere chaotically like headless flies.
Fairy Huanghe's gaze flickered as she watched the mystic beast droves receding like the tide. She let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's all thanks to that miss's assistance."
"Fairy, what happened?"
"I had misunderstood that miss earlier. That miss has a noble character and unquestionable integrity. She took the initiative to guide away a powerful spiritual beast without regard for personal danger," Fairy Huanghe praised profusely.
"I'm thinking that these mystic beasts are retreating because they've sensed that the spiritual beast has left and are now lacking a leader."
Only then did everyone understand, and they also nodded while concurring, "It's only Fairy who saw that high-minded miss."
"Yeah, if we encounter that miss next time, we must thank her."
