2163 A Small Creature's Instinct

General Jia was probably cursing endlessly in his mind right now.

Anger flared up from the pit of his stomach, and Jia Zhong yelled, "You people, quickly and let go of this general!"

Weren't they afraid that they would incur the wrath of the entire Shuntian Prefecture by attacking the general of Hupeng Battalion?

Qiao Mu scoffed. She mused: Even Geng Pengcheng, your prefecture lord of the Shuntian Prefecture, has dissipated into nothingness. What could a mere general of whatever Hupeng Battalion amount to?

"Let, let go, let go of me!" Qiao Mu produced a gleaming ice sword and pointed it sideways at Hupeng Battalion's General Jia Zhong, who was lying on the ground. "If you keep shouting I'll chop off your head to feed the dogs."

"Go ahead then, do it!"

"Little Junior Sister, he's provoking you."

Qiao Mu naturally understood that Jia Zhong was provoking her to kill him. She cast the man on the ground an apathetic glance and then flicked a white pill the size of a pearl into Jia Zhong's mouth.

"Don't worry. You won't be able to die just yet." Qiao Mu recalled the ice sword and turned around to go back to Mo Lian. "Let's go back."

"Wait." Young Sir Songfeng quickly stepped out from the crowd and furrowed his brows. "Little Miss, General Jia is also a customer of our Spring Abounding Parlor. You cannot just bring him away like this."

Qiao Mu swept him a glance. She suddenly turned around and faced him with the back of her head.

Feng Chen couldn't resist wanting to laugh. Every time the little fellow was being stubborn, she liked showing the other party the back of her head.

Mo Lian grasped Qiao Mu's petite hand and gazed down at her with a low chuckle. "Okay."

For some reason, Qiao Mu felt like Crown Prince Mo's gaze was a bit terrifying.

So strange, how come the back of her neck felt a bit chilly?

Was it her imagination?

The crown prince was clearly smiling so tenderly. He was soothing like the spring breeze, but somehow had a sinister air about him…

Mhm, it was her imagination. She must be overthinking it!

Out of a small creature's instinct, the little lady who sensed danger suddenly looked up and smiled sweetly at Crown Prince Mo. "Hubby, I want a hug."

Feng Chen: …

The little lady was too sly. Who could resist her acting like this!

Upon suddenly exhibiting a smile, this little stoic face truly was so sweet that it made one's heart turn into a clear spring river with rippling water. You wished for nothing more than to pluck the stars for her just to see her smile…

Sure enough, Mo Lian got mesmerized, and automatically nodded. He naturally lifted the little fellow up and held her.

"Ah, ahh!!" Next to them, Jia Zhong suddenly let out a tragic scream.

Everybody turned and saw Jia Zhong's entire arm starting to rot. Watching his flesh fall off made them shudder in fear.

Ye Lingmin was also stunned from surprise. She couldn't resist scooting over to avoid getting tainted by Jia Zhong's gruesome flesh.

Qiao Mu flicked her finger, and a curse light flew into the spot between Jia Zhong's brows.

Suddenly, Jia Zhong's body gave up resisting. He stood up woodenly and walked robotically over to Crown Prince Mo with an expressionless face.

"General Jia??" Young Sir Songfeng was taken aback. He examined Jia Zhong's complexion. His entire face was stern without showing any expression. It was as if he was instantly put under someone's control.

Could it be a puppet curse??

A bad premonition passed through Young Sir Songfeng's mind.
