Chapter 404 - Show of Strength (1/2)

Later on, Granny Witch seemed to have offended someone, which caused her to be disfigured entirely into this abominable appearance now.

It was unknown what kind of grudge she had with Murong Xun that she would arrange for her disciples to enact such a farce upon arriving in Xixia Valley.

Murong Xun ate that lavender snakelet with great relish, while Granny Witch had scrunched her creased old lady face together.

It could be seen that the old lady was fuming right now. She turned around to snap at her disciple, Qi Mei’er, “You don’t think it’s shameful enough? Come back!”

Qi Mei’er aggrievedly pattered back to stand behind Granny Witch, yet she kept intently sweeping across the several outstanding youths with her bashful and beautiful eyes.

“Murong Xun, long time no see.” When Granny Witch finally opened her mouth, her voice was unexpectedly quite melodious, like a nightingale flying out of a valley. This contrast between her voice and her appearance rather caused people to feel like shuddering in fear.

“Tsk. It has been quite a long time.” Murong Xun casually threw the roasted snake she finished eating onto the ground. She studied Granny Witch’s sagging and creased old face with a grin. “Old hag, your face seems to be more wrinkled than from a few years ago!”

Everyone: “…”

Everyone could see Granny Witch’s face twitching slightly and could discern that her mood was not necessarily as calm as it seemed on the surface. In her heart, she had probably long wanted to butcher and eat Peak Master Murong’s flesh raw.

“This old woman’s disciple has disturbed everyone today.” Granny Witch said dryly, “This old woman apologizes to everyone on her behalf. Mei’er, Huo’er, let’s go.”

Not mentioning Qi Mei’er, that anomaly, the beautiful and white-clothed Huo’er, whose head was adorned only with a small beaded flower, was not quite the same as the colorful senior sisters surrounding her as she stood behind the old woman.

Her expression was placid, and her eyes were lowered. When she occasionally lifted her head to look at everyone, her gaze would be tinged with compa.s.sion.

This really was a white daisy untainted by the mire that it sprouted from!
