"When I lose everything, I'll inevitably feel fear and dread," Mo Lian muttered, biting her small mouth forcefully before sealing it with her own lips, her voice barely above a whisper.
"But today, I almost lost everything."
"Because of your impulsive and reckless behavior."
"Because of you."
His voice was barely audible as it brushed against the side of her lips. The tempestuous kiss they had shared earlier now resembled a gentle spring shower, delicate and unsettling.
"I, I, I…" Qiao Mu began to stammer for the first time.
Then, realization dawned upon her, and she sensed that something was amiss.
"You did it intentionally!" Qiaoqiao finally grasped the truth, her jet-black eyes widening with anger.
"What about Qiuqiu? You deliberately made Qiuqiu and the others ignore me," Miss Qiao seethed, her eyes reddening.
When Qiuqiu, Dottie, and the others had ignored her earlier, and she couldn't access Paradise Planet, she had genuinely panicked.
Qiuqiu had been with her since the very first day of her rebirth.
Her connection with Qiuqiu transcended the simple roles of master and servant.
"Miss, I truly didn't want to trouble you this time! The Crown Prince didn't instruct me to ignore you, but I chose to cooperate with him!" Qiuqiu interjected suddenly.
The little water spirit on Paradise Planet almost couldn't contain its surprise!
Why was this trouble-prone court disaster child being so honest?
Couldn't she have shifted the blame onto Crown Prince Mo? Why did she insist on admitting it herself?
The dirt clump on the side blinked and nodded repeatedly. "Qiuqiu is absolutely correct! Little
Masta needs a profound lesson!"
"That's right!"
"We're collaborating with His Highness the Crown Prince this time!"
"Exactly."
Miss Qiao's petite face reddened with anger, her entire body quivering as she hopped with indignation.
Were these little troublemakers attempting to rebel!?
Moments ago, she had called out to all of them, but no one had paid her any heed. It had truly flustered her!
Mo Lian leaned in closer beside her lips, his gaze fixed upon her with calm assurance. "Qiaoqiao."
"You can trust your friends."
As he spoke, he peered deeply into her eyes.
Qiao Mu's heart quivered slightly as she stubbornly replied, "I-I don't doubt you, my friend."
"Look at me."
"What do you see now?"
"An angry expression," Qiaoqiao replied honestly.
"There's more."
"You can't scold me! I'm all grown up now." I can't spank her anymore!
Qiao Mu struggled briefly in his arms, but the thought of this person's past actions made her feel uneasy.
"Your words jog my memory," Mo Lian remarked casually.
Qiao Mu was taken aback and promptly pushed him. "I, I, I know why you're upset! I, I didn't do it on purpose."
She had been consumed by anger at the time, believing that she needed to employ her skills to defend herself against the sacrificial soldiers who had e to harm her.
"But, but today, you've frightened me so much. You, you all aren't blameless either! You owe me an apology too!" Miss Qiao's petite face grew even darker as she rambled. "You need to make it up to me!"
"I'm going to make it up to her!" A figure suddenly broke free and emerged from the shadows of the corridor. "I should have known better than to try and reason with this little girl! Today, I'm definitely going to teach her a lesson!"
