1866 So Pitiful and Unloved

"They're only several loafers from the Punishment Tower. You don't need to bother with them."

Realization dawned on Qiao Mu as she deadpanned with a nod, "Oh, so they're your cellmates?"

Cellmates?

Everybody involuntarily twitched their mouths.

Who the f*ck were his cellmates?

Dao Wuji gave the little lady a fawning smile. "No, no, we have acknowledged Boss Mo as our boss!"

"Oh."

What was the situation? How come this child seemed even more detestable than the Little Despot? It was exhausting trying to talk to her! It was like she would kill the conversation if he accidentally let his mind wander!

Dao Wuji pulled a face, but then he suddenly turned to look at the Little Despot with a mischievous laugh. "Little Despot, didn't you say that you were gonna kill Boss Mo's wife when you saw her?"

In other words, do it, go do it! Quickly kill her, ahhhh!

Mo Lian turned to stare at the Little Despot with an expression that said "Are you looking to die."

The Little Despot silently looked up at Dao Wuji before peering at Qiao Mu. Suddenly, he pulled out a transparent earth-type cage from his sleeve and flicked it over to Qiao Mu. "Take it to play with."

Everyone: "…"

Dao Wuji: …

Didn't you f*ckin' say that you were gonna kill her? What did you mean by giving her a present now?

Qiao Mu took that earth-type cage and observed it curiously.

She saw a transparent little person inside the cage who was cowering in a corner like a quail. He suddenly jumped up and grabbed the earthen bars, shrieking pitifully, "Feng Chen. Feng Chen, Feng Chen. Feng Chen!! You utterly heartless guy, why haven't you rescued me, ahhh! Ahh!"

Feng Chen: …

Was the Little Despot crazy? Why the heck did he give Dunzhu to Qiaoqiao as a pet?

Could it be because?

Mo Lian was going to give Qiaoqiao a man-eating flower, so…

The Little Despot thought that giving Dunzhu to the little lady as a pet would make her happy?

Qiao Mu shook the earthen cage and inquired curiously while looking at that little figure who was wailing to the high heavens. "Who is he?"

"He was originally a gatekeeper of the Punishment Tower, Dunzhu." Feng Chen simply could not look straight at Dunzhu.

Qiao Mu was enlightened. She nodded and asked, "Wouldn't he be a jailer then? How come he got locked up in a cage?"

Everyone: "…"

Mo Lian immediately remembered that man-eating flower when he saw everybody giving his wifey presents.

Mo Lian promptly summoned that small morning glory and handed it to Qiao Mu while patting her on the head. "Qiaoqiao, this is for you."

"A demonic plant!" Qiao Mu immediately grabbed that man-eating flower. The sudden force nearly crushed the small morning glory dead. It bared two rows of sharp fangs from its blossom.

Qiao Mu gazed amiably at the flower in her hands and asked gently, "Can I borrow a drop of your poison?"

No one would believe that this little one that had fangs and oozed poison was an ordinary plant-type spiritual beast.

This was probably a very powerful demonic plant.

The small morning glory didn't know why it started shivering so hard that its petals fell.

"Don't worry, it won't kill you." Qiao Mu had already produced three shining silver needles in her hand and abruptly stabbed them at the flower.

"Gurgle…" The pitiful man-eating flower spewed out a glob of green poison.

Meanwhile, a certain Qiao was long prepared and caught it perfectly in a small jade bottle.
