“You?” Upon hearing these words, Elder Qiao was truly angered by Mo Chu’s arrogant attitude. That pair of sinister eyes glared fiercely at her, a girl who did not know life from death, if she really thought that she could have nothing to worry about with Chen Bai as her backing, she was too naive!
One had to know that the connections and wealth that their Qiao Family had accumulated over the years had already far surpassed those of other small families. Just a little girl with no influence actually had the face to say such words!
If it was not for the tense atmosphere, Elder Qiao even wanted to throw his head back and laugh out loud. After living for so many years, this was the first time he had seen this stupid fellow!
Everyone could hear the sarcasm and disdain in Elder Qiao’s words, but this little girl Mo Chu seemed to not notice it at all. The smile on the corner of her mouth only grew a little thicker as she leaned her head slightly closer, “That’s right, it’s me. You have to remember this well. Just wait and see… how I will destroy your Qiao Family bit by bit!”
Looking at Mo Chu’s appearance, why did the others feel a sense of fear in their bones! If it was someone else who said this, they would definitely not believe it. However, when they saw the ferocious Blood Luminescent Beast behind Mo Chu, they felt a wave of panic in their hearts.
Elder Qiao had lived for so many years, so he was naturally someone who had seen great storms. How could he be scared by Mo Chu’s few words? He only gave her a disdainful look and his heart froze.
What? Did they… not believing her?
Mo Chu blinked, and the viciousness in the depths of her eyes became even stronger.
One had to know that Mo Chu, who was born as an orphan, had some coldness and determination in her bones. Originally, with a sister-obsessed big brother like Mo Yang in front of her, this point had not been revealed. In the end, Qiao Shan attacked her ruthlessly twice, and this had completely infuriated Mo Chu!
If a tiger doesn’t show its might, do you really think that it is just a sick cat? Since you want to play, then let’s play big. Let’s see who will be the first to kill!
That’s right! Mo Chu had carefully considered this matter back in the Magical Region.
The Qiao Family was indeed powerful now, but Mo Chu also had a lot of trump cards in her hands. If they were to really talk about it openly, it was not certain who would win or lose! Anyway, she would not rest until Qiao Shan was dead. Since that was the case, she might as well tear off the facade of benevolence and see who would win.
“Alright, let’s go!” Qiao Shan’s injuries could not be delayed any longer. In just a short while, Qiao Shan fainted again. Elder Qiao was anxious, so he immediately got up and prepared to leave with a large group of Qiao Family members. He wanted to kill that little girl, Mo Chu, as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this territory was under Ning Yiyuan’s jurisdiction. How could he be in charge? There was no rush. There was still time in the future!
Unfortunately, he had not even taken two steps when he was surrounded by the soldiers under Ning Yiyuan’s rule!
Elder Qiao was furious and his face twitched! This was a slap to his face in front of so many people! He could not help but turn his head slightly and said through gritted teeth, “Marshal Ning, what are you planning to do?”
Ning Yiyuan had no time to pay attention to him at this moment. He only looked at Mo Chu with a smile on his face and asked fawningly, “Little Chu, are you going to let them go?”
Damn! The people at the side were speechless! So Marshal Ning had defected just like that? What happened to being mighty and decisive? All they could see is a dog wagging its tail!
“Let them go.” Mo Chu spoke slowly. There was no need for her to make a move again, as it was a matter of fact. Moreover, she was not willing to just kill them like that! It would be too easy!
“Alright.” Ning Yiyuan waved his hand. The soldiers who had surrounded Elder Qiao and the others immediately moved aside in unison. “Whatever Little Chu says.”
Enough! Stop talking, or else you won’t be able to put together the image of a wise and mighty Marshal!
When Elder Ning heard this, he could not help but frown. Listen to what this little brat is saying! Also, what’s with that fawning look?
“Enough!” When he saw the Qiao Family leave, Ning Yiyuan’s eyes could not help but flash with a hint of viciousness. However, it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he ordered in a deep voice, “All soldiers, return to your original positions. Increase your vigilance and pay attention to the situation of the Beast Tide!”
“Yes!” The soldiers replied loudly. Each of them returned to their original positions at the fastest speed possible. They focused their attention and raised their vigilance.
At this glance, Ning Yiyuan had some of his usual decisive temperament. However, when he turned his head to look at Mo Chu, the valiant aura that he had just recovered disappeared completely in an instant, he held onto Mo Chu’s tender hand with a fawning expression as he walked towards Elder Ning.
“What are you doing?” Elder Ning snorted lightly, but his gaze fell on Mo Chu without leaving a trace. This girl was not as charming and seductive as he had thought. Instead, she had a bit of the tough air of a soldier, and her looks were not bad either…
When he had drawn a long list of Mo Chu’s strengths, the old man realized that he had gone off-topic. He immediately raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily, “If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. I’m still busy here!”
Ning Yiyuan did not care about the old man’s look. His eyes softened, and he turned to look at the little girl beside him. He said softly, “Grandfather, this is Mo Chu.”
Nonsense! Elder Ning rolled his eyes at his grandson. He had caused such a huge commotion just now. Do you think I’m blind? How could I not know!
“Grandfather, I’m going to…” Before Ning Yiyuan could finish speaking, Elder Ning’s eyebrows shot up. “Don’t say anymore. I don’t agree!” Although this little girl seemed like a good person, when it came to marriage, that would be the future of the Ning Family. It could not be decided easily.
Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan’s face darkened. Before he could say anything, the old man vetoed it!
Cheh! Elder Ning snorted. Do you still want to play tricks on me? No way!
Nodding slightly at Elder Ning, Mo Chu turned to Ning Yiyuan and asked, “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll go over first!”
She could naturally see that the old man did not like her very much, she would not approach him at this time.
This attitude made the old man think highly of her. He could not help but mutter in his heart, this little girl seemed to be quite different from his previous impression!
“Then… why don’t I send you over?” Ning Yiyuan held Mo Chu’s tender hand and could not bear to let it go!
This sticky appearance made Elder Ning frown. What’s wrong with this grandson of his? Why does it feel like he’s pestering the little girl? Also, can you stop your little movements? They’re still under my old man’s nose. Can you restrain yourself a little?
“No need.” Mo Chu smiled at him and pulled her hand back. How far could he send her away?
“Alright, then be careful.”Ning Yiyuan also returned a smile and watched her walk away. When he turned around, the gentleness from before had completely disappeared, leaving only traces of coldness, “Grandfather, when I make a move against the Qiao Family, you can turn a blind eye.”
“Make a move?” Elder Ning’s relaxed brows furrowed again. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yes.” Ning Yiyuan nodded, but the bloodlust in his eyes could not be concealed. He had said before that he would take revenge on those who had hurt Little Chu!
“Even if I say no, will you agree?” The elder finally understood. How could he be stubborn against this kid? Moreover, they had always been on bad terms with the Qiao Family. Sooner or later, this would happen. It had to start.
“Then Little Chu…” Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan’s eyes instantly lit up. He climbed up the ladder, ready to make the elder compromise again.
In the end, when the old man heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and shook his head hard. “This won’t do. Absolutely not!”
It won’t do?
Ning Yiyuan lowered his head slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up. These three words did not exist in his world! Moreover, just by meeting him once, his grandfather’s impression of Little Chu had changed. He still had time, and he still had a lot of patience!
When Mo Chu walked around, it was really eye-catching!
That’s right, there was a Blood Luminescent Beast behind her. When the others saw it, they would have to avoid it by ten feet. They actually made a path for Mo Chu. It was very cool.
Zuo Lin watched from the side and was extremely envious. He softly went forward and was just about to touch this slippery fur when he was almost pounced on by this Blood Luminescent Beast! If Mo Chu did not speak in time, he would have become the food of this magical beast!
Zuo Lin swallowed hard and did not dare to act recklessly again. However, his gaze was still on the Blood Luminescent Beast. Without blinking, he suddenly blinked, “That’s not right. Why do I feel that this fellow is more and more familiar the more I look at him?”
He was not familiar at all! Mo Chu turned around and glanced at him. In his heart, he thought, ‘weren’t you still fighting to hug Roundy back then? Now that it’s a magnified version, you don’t remember?’
However, Mo Chu did not remind him. She only frowned and asked, “Where’s My Brother?”
The video call from before was sent to Mo Yang’s terminal, so it was impossible for him not to appear. However, Mo Chu had just scanned the entire Magical Region and did not see her big brother at all.
“F*ck!” Upon hearing this, Zuo Lin’s expression instantly froze for a moment. Then, he turned around and exchanged a glance with Zhong Wen, who had also turned into a wooden figure, before running to the side in unison. How could they have forgotten about Mo Yang!?
Previously, they had given Mo Yang some medicine and prepared to send him back. In the end, they had just put him into the Drive Machine. Before they had the time to take action, they had been attracted by their Boss. After such a series of things had happened, they had been completely overwhelmed, then… They had forgotten about Mo Yang!
Zuo Lin hurriedly activated the gene lock. Just as a ‘beep’ sound was emitted, the door of the gene Drive Machine was immediately pushed open. Mo Yang’s dark face was revealed just like that. His sinister gaze swept over Zhong Wen and Zuo Lin, and the two of them immediately trembled!
It was over! The effect of this drug was only 20 minutes. In other words, after Mo Yang’s drug effect was removed, he was still locked inside for more than an hour!
Moreover, Zuo Lin’s gene Drive Machine was specially made. He could clearly hear the movements outside, but he could not hear the sounds coming from inside the car. In other words, Mo Yang could hear everything that was happening outside clearly, yet he was locked inside, there was no way for him to come out. One could imagine how anxious he felt!
However, when Mo Yang’s gaze landed on Little Chu, it instantly turned from yin to yang. The gentleness on his face was completely different from when he looked at Zhong Wen just now! “Little Chu, are you alright?”
“Ao ao — ” The Blood Luminescent Beast behind her rolled its eyes. Nonsense, with this Young Master here, how could anything happen to Little Chu? Hmph!
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”Mo Chu said with a smile.
“That’s good, let’s hurry back!” Mo Yang did not want to stay in this place at all, especially the way Ning Yiyuan stared at Little Chu, which made him gnash his teeth in hatred.
“Alright.” Mo Chu did not refuse.
“Sigh — ” Don’t go! Ning Yiyuan, who was behind her, naturally heard the commotion clearly. His face instantly fell. He had only been looking at Little Chu for how long, and he wanted more…
“Ah–” The old man slapped him on the head and glared at him angrily. “Hurry up and organize the Beast Tide team. Don’t think too much!”
Fine! Ning Yiyuan sighed. It was better to get busy on this side first.
On the other side, once Mo Chu returned home, she was not idle either.
The first thing she did was to open the backstage of the Spirit Food Shop and issue an announcement.
“Umm… Little Chu,” Mo Yang watched his sister knock on the terminal and asked softly, “Your actions are obvious. Aren’t you afraid that they’ll find out?”
“What are you afraid of?” Mo Chu’s small face raised slightly as her eyes flickered. After this incident, she was like a phoenix bathed in blood, instantly growing up, “With a living signboard like Song Qingsong, are we still afraid that we won’t be able to recruit talents under us?”
Besides, the popularity of the Spirit Food was not low. She did not believe that this group of people would dare to be so unscrupulous, after all, she held in her hands a wealth that no one else had!
“Sure!” Mo Yang nodded and reached out to stroke Little Chu’s fine hair. His tone was steady. “Don’t worry and be bold. I’ll be right behind you!”
“Okay.” Hearing this, the smile on Mo Chu’s lips grew wider.
On the other hand, Roundy could not stand the two of them pulling it down. With a leap, it jumped into Mo Chu’s embrace. It even turned her face to the side and kept rubbing against Mo Chu’s embrace. Its other claw did not have any free time as she forcefully pushed Mo Yang out, it directly took over Mo Chu.
Little Flying Fox followed the wind and came over. It knew that it could not beat Roundy, so it naturally didn’t dare to hope for Mo Chu’s embrace. It could only take a look with envy. Just like that, Roundy gave it a fierce glare.
“Forget it.” Mo Yang sighed and simply reached out to pick up Little Flying Fox. His tone was helpless. “It’s better for the two of us to hang out!” Upon hearing this, Little Flying Fox even laid down on Mo Yang’s neck in response to the situation, with a sorrowful look on its face. Mo Chu could not help but burst into laughter!
Their house was filled with joy, but the internet was filled with bloodshed.
Why?
It was all because of what Mo Chu had done on the internet! Although she had only released a single announcement, all the special ability users could not help but panic
‘After research, it has been confirmed that while consuming the Spirit Food, please don’t consume any medicinal pills, especially the Qiao Family’s medicinal pills. Otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk!’
When this announcement was released, the netizens on the Starnet were all stunned!
The more they read the words posted by Domineering Roundy, the more they felt that something was wrong!
“What… does this mean?”
“Why do I feel that these words… seem to be directed at the Qiao Family’s medicinal pills?”
“No way!” Another netizen immediately retaliated. “How many years has this Qiao Family been an aristocratic family of medicinal pills? What could possibly happen?”
“Heh! That’s hard to explain!” Domineering Roundy’s die-hard fan went online. “If there’s no problem with the family’s medicinal pills, can he point them out by name?”
“That’s right!” With that said, everyone felt that it made sense again.
“But the amount of Spirit Food is too little, and everyone can’t buy it. How can we not use pills?” Especially the Qiao Family’s pills. Although they were a little expensive, everyone was fighting over them. If there really was a problem, everyone would not be so stupid as to still buy it, right?
“That’s true. But with Domineering Roundy’s words, I don’t dare to use the Qiao Family’s pills anymore. Let’s change to another family’s!”
“I think so too. I just bought the Qiao Family’s pills. I’m a little scared just by looking at it now…”
“Are you guys stupid? !” Another netizen immediately went up and fired a shot. “This Domineering Roundy might just casually mention it. Do you really think that you’re listening to the Oracle?”
“Who the f*ck are you calling stupid?” No one was willing to listen to people cursing. “You should carefully savor this announcement. Once you eat the Qiao Family’s pills, it’ll be fine if nothing happens. But if something happens, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
“Don’t tell me you’re going to cause trouble with the Qiao Family?”
“Hmph! I don’t think that’s what you mean by ‘bear the consequences’.” Those who were quick-witted immediately guessed the crux of the matter. “These words clearly cut off the possibility of you seeking treatment from Domineering Roundy in the future!”
What?
When they heard this, everyone was stunned! They quickly turned around and carefully chewed over the notice. It seemed to be true!
Then what should they do now?
Everyone was at a loss! Then, they made a decisive decision. Fine! In the future, they would buy other people’s medicinal pills. Although the effects were not as good as the Qiao Family’s, no one wanted to lose the opportunity to seek treatment from Domineering Roundy. This might even save their lives!
Thus, half an hour after Mo Chu’s announcement was announced, the Qiao Family’s faces were filled with worry!
“What should we do?” An urgent family meeting was called. Everyone’s faces were filled with uncontrollable worry. “It has only been a short while, but one-third of our pill orders have already been cancelled!”
This was something that had never happened before!
Ever since their Qiao Family’s medicinal pills became famous, they had been fluttering in the wind all the way to the sky. It was very normal for them to be sold out of stock, but now, someone actually canceled the order. It was still a disaster!
“It’s over!” A junior of the Qiao Family who was constantly paying attention to the online sales volume shouted in panic, “Now, more than half of the orders have been canceled. There are even people who want to return the goods!”
“Shut up!” An elder of the Qiao Family who was sitting in the upper position was so angry that he slammed the table with all his might, producing a loud bang! Anger filled his face. “What the hell is this Romineering Roundy? Why did it appear?!”
Indeed, ever since this person appeared, the reputation of their Qiao Family was no longer as good as before. In addition, this person somehow managed to contact the second young master of the Mike Family and actually used the auction method to bid for the Spirit Food, this had even charmed a circle of people in the upper echelons of the Federation. Even their attitude towards their family was no longer as lively as before.
Now, it was even more excessive. They had actually made such a baffling announcement. What was even stranger was that everyone was really willing to listen to his words. Look, it had only been a short while, yet more than half of the orders they had placed previously had been canceled. It was simply a great humiliation!
“Exactly!” These words finally hit the nail on the head. It immediately caused quite a number of people to agree, and the entire hall instantly became noisy.
“We should have been ruthless back then, so that this so-called Domineering Roundy didn’t have the chance to gain influence. Otherwise, why would he pose such a great threat to our Qiao Family now?”
“That’s right, it’s all our fault…”
“That, didn’t we send people to look for him back then?” There was really a simple and honest person among them. When he heard the words of the crowd, he could not help but scratch his head. “But we couldn’t find him, so we couldn’t do it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that everyone was staring at him as if they wanted to bite him. His heart jumped, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
“Enough!” Elder Qiao, who was sitting at the top, frowned and growled in a deep voice.
The crowd immediately quieted down and only stared at him with expectant eyes. There was nothing he could do. How should he fight back in this matter? He should at least have a bylaw! He could not just let the huge Qiao Family be bullied like this, right?
“Third Brother,” Elder Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly. “How is it? Have you found the prescription for this Spirit Food yet?”
“Well…” the Qiao Family’s Third Brother stammered, unable to speak. Both of his brows were tightly knitted together. What else was there to say? To think that he still felt that he was quite talented in the path of pills and elixirs. In the end, after researching for so long, he had also spent quite a bit on the Spirit Food, but he had not even scratched the surface at all. Just thinking about it made him feel ashamed!
“Okay, stop talking.” Elder Qiao waved his hand. “You still have to continue with this matter, but you have to speed up the process!”
“Well…” This was making things difficult for him, right? Qiao Family’s Third Brother had a bitter look on his face. They had already made zero progress, so what was there to speed up! However, seeing the determination on the family head’s face, he could only bite the bullet and agree in the end.
“Also, Fifth Brother .” After this matter was settled, Elder Qiao turned his head and looked at the man sitting on his left. “Hasn’t the identity of this Domineering Roundy been investigated yet?” This person had already become a ticking time bomb, if he did not get rid of him as soon as possible, he would always feel empty in his heart.
“No.” The Fifth Brother of the Qiao Family shook his head. At this moment, he was also very worried. His subordinates had never relaxed in their search for this Domineering Roundy person. However, this person was so cunning that no one could make heads or tails of him! All the possible people had been eliminated by them one by one. Now, the investigation had actually returned to the original point.
Again?
Elder Qiao shut his eyes fiercely. The veins on his neck were popping out. After a long while, he raised his head. “Focus on investigating the people around Mo Chu and Mo Yang!”
The words that little girl had said earlier were still fresh in his mind! He had just returned not long ago, and this had already happened. Was this not too much of a coincidence?
“Mo Chu?” Qiao Laowu frowned and was a little puzzled, “Those two little fellows aren’t even adults yet, what use can they be? Isn’t this a waste of effort?”
“What do you know!”Elder Qiao frowned fiercely, “Do whatever I tell you to do, don’t ask anymore!”
“Yes!”Seeing that the family head was angry, Fifth Brother hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Seeing the disdain on Fifth Brother’s face, Elder Qiao could not help but let out a sigh, “Do you think they are still young and have no lethality?”
Elder Qiao had the same thought before. When he came back, he thought carefully for a long time before his eyes became clear. After all, he had been a member of the family for so many years. How could his brain not be flexible? “Even a small magical beast will have claws and can hurt people. It can even kill people if they are not careful, not to mention people with complicated thoughts! We have to guard against them.”
Hearing this, the expression Fifth Brother’s face turned serious.
Of course, Song Qingsong was also thinking the same thing as Elder Qiao.
He had carefully reviewed Domineering Roundy’s situation the moment he came back. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was familiar. He could not help but associate him with Mo Chu’s image, and his heart trembled!
That’s right!
Mo Chu and the others had just arrived at District 3, and not long after, Domineering Roundy appeared out of nowhere. Furthermore, the two of them could also control magical beasts.
Mo Chu also had food allergies… Song Qingsong was a meticulous person, to begin with, and now that he thought about it again, his eyes lit up even more! He stood up abruptly and ran outside, giving Uncle Wang a big scare!
“Young Master, what are you doing?”
“Uncle Wang, I have something urgent to do, I’m going out for a while!” Before he could finish his sentence, he had already disappeared. Uncle Wang was confused. Did something big happen?
