3034 Are You Threatening Me?
“How pathetic. The young lady has already spotted us. Won’t you come out?” Second Young Sir remarked casually.
“Little lady, you’ve got some courage.” A rotund baron chortled.
Qiao Mu shot an intense glare at Second Young Sir Qin.
Did this rascal have to enlist so many individuals to capture her?
She was just a level-11 grand spiritual cultivator. Did they truly need five Godly State experts to apprehend her? It seemed utterly absurd!
“Qiaoqiao, it’s in your best interest to behave and not entertain any thoughts of escape.” Second Young Sir Qin smiled lightly. “You can’t escape.”
“Go ahead and kill them,” Qiao Mu stated with a cold expression.
“Oh my, little lady, there’s no need to be so heartless.” A splendidly attired woman with crimson lips twirled three fingers like orchids and spoke in a soft tone.
Qiao Mu chuckled wryly. “I can’t even save my own life, so why should I concern myself with others?”
“No one desires your life,” Second Young Sir Qin said with a stern countenance.
“Little lady, if you cooperate obediently and come with us, I can guarantee that Second Young Sir won’t harm these people,” the delicate and beautiful lady said while even winking at Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao felt a shiver down her spine…
Second Young Sir Qin cast a cold gaze. “Do you think your eyes are unnecessary?”
The woman pouted and playfully stomped her foot. “Gee, so harsh! The little lady is quite lovely. It’s only natural for me to steal a few more glances!”
Even the few fellow cultivators beside her couldn’t help but tremble, witnessing the overly affectionate tone in her words.
“Are you trying to threaten me?” Qiao Mu regarded her with a cold gaze.
“Threaten? Oh, no!” The woman replied delicately. “Little Li Village houses at least 200 residents.”
“I fail to see how that’s my concern,” Qiao Mu retorted, her expression ice-cold. “One should act according to their abilities. If it’s within my means, I’ll help. But if helping others requires sacrificing myself, then I’d rather not. I’m no savior. It’s better to rely on the heavens than on me.”
The woman appeared momentarily stunned, blinking with disbelief. “You’re… wow! Little lady, you’re quite fascinating. I like you a lot.”
“Hmph. Shameless child, don’t speak to me!”
“Stalling for time is futile,” Second Young Sir Qin stated indifferently. “Mo Lian and Duan Yue won’t be able to reach us anytime soon.”
Second Young Sir Qin raised an eyebrow.
The woman broke into laughter. “Oh my, lovely little lady, what’s your proposal?”
“Let’s make a bet.”
She couldn’t even access Paradise Planet now or summon reinforcements. Faced with this group, her only hope was to outsmart them. Taking a risk might be her only chance to escape.
Second Young Sir fixed his gaze on her. As he observed her quick-witted eyes darting around, it felt like a gentle feather had brushed lightly across his heart, creating a ticklish sensation.
He knew she was attempting to buy time, hoping for help, but at this moment, he found himself unwilling to oppose her.
