494 Diamond Talisman
Second Manager Qi vomited a mouthful of blood that foamed at his mouth. Afterwards, he covered his swelling face in disbelief as he staggered while getting up from the ground.
Just now, that girl, she?
Suddenly, Second Manager Qi's pupils contracted slightly as he saw a lightning-quick figure glide past his eyes.
"What are you doing? This is what Her Highness Noble Consort Zheng…"
Qiao Mu waved her fingers, and around a dozen immobilization talismans stuck to the faces of these servants from the Zheng Estate.
Intermediate-level talisman—It immobilized someone for a quarter of an hour, but opponents one or more levels higher than the user were immune to the effects.
Of these servants from the Zheng Estate, only two people were level-six mystic cultivators, while the others were body cultivators or normal people. Naturally, the immobilization talismans were fairly effective as soon as they made contact.
Hence, everyone saw those arrogant fellows who were threatening them earlier maintaining a fixed stance with dumbstruck faces.
"Y-You! What kind of witchcraft did you use!!" Second Manager Qi's scream rang out. One hand covered his face, while his other hand trembled as it pointed at Qiao Mu. He shouted, "Y-You dare to offend our Zheng Estate? Aren't you scared of dying, you little b*tch?"
Qiao Mu completely ignored the bellowing Second Manager Qi and walked past him, stopping before the prisoners' carriage.
An intermediate-level diamond talisman floated before her. This was one of the intermediate-level talismans that she had newly learned after unlocking the fourth jade slip.
After activating the diamond talisman, it would make parts of the body as hard as diamond and iron, with nothing it couldn't destroy.
That's why when Qiao Mu pulled lightly with her hands yet was still able to shatter two large bronze locks like squishing tofu into pieces, Second Manager Qi's eyeballs were about to pop out.
Oh my heavens, that girl's hands looked so white, delicate, and flawless, so how could she be so savage?
"Come!" Qiao Mu stretched out her hand and first helped that little girl out from the cage.
Thirteen merfolk filed out of the cages, their expressions still frightened and unsettled. Their bodies were also injured, some more, some less.
"Since I'm going to Xijiu City, I can send you all to the vicinity of the Dark Sea along the way." Qiao Mu said faintly.
"Thank you very much, Miss. Thank you very much." The most senior among the thirteen people, an old woman, represented all of the merfolk in repeatedly thanking Qiao Mu with gratitude.
"You dare!!" Second Manager Qi glanced at his subordinates that had been immobilized on the spot and was hopping mad. He shouted furiously at Qiao Mu, "You dare offend Her Highness Noble Consort Zheng?"
He had f*cking laid low in those waters for the greater part of a month to capture these merfolk! Yet you're telling him now that all his previous efforts were going down the drain?
He had originally thought that his entire family's status in the estate would certainly rise after he presented these captured merfolk to Noble Consort Zheng.
Yet now! All his sweet dreams had come to an end.
This nameless little lady who popped out from who knows where actually released the batch of merfolk that he captured with difficulty!
Utterly preposterous, wah!
Suddenly, Qiao Mu turned her head around, and her pair of eyes that were akin to freezing ice beads stared at him coldly.
Second Manager Qi was spooked into a daze, and his face shuddered quietly. He only felt that the young lady's gaze caused the depths of his soul to shudder in terror.
"I'll give you three seconds to leave. Otherwise…" Qiao Mu's frigid gaze swept across his face. "You can remain here forever."
She only wanted to release people, not kill people.
However, if this Qi fellow continued to blabber on, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't change her mind.
Second Manager Qi was also a smart person. He glanced at the little lady's small hands that were like white jade…
