Chapter 493 - Release Them (1/2)

It really wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a celestial being had emerged from the womb to descend on earth.

With such stunning beauty even at this young age, she was certainly going to grow up to be a femme fatale in the future.

Qiao Mu was only mumbling to herself and hadn’t intended for someone to strike up a conversation with her.

However, two to three people immediately struck up a conversation with her when she spoke.

“Little Miss, these merfolk usually live in the Dark Sea, and they don’t go ash.o.r.e readily.” When a man next to her spoke up, his chubby wife standing next to him instantly twisted his pig ear and started scolding, “Look look look, why aren’t your eyeb.a.l.l.s popping out? Is she that good-looking? Ah??”

“N-Not good-looking, not good-looking! Wife, you’re the prettiest! The prettiest. D-Don’t twist anymore, don’t twist it! My ear, my ear!!” Wuwuwu, saying such untruthful words, I wonder if the Heavens will strike me with lightning, wah!

Not many people paid attention to them as the couple made a din while departing.

At this time, the road was still congested with people everywhere. Even at this point, a lot of people were still hastily packing up their luggage and carrying basket loads out of their homes.

“Merfolk usually advocate for peace. But apparently, at the start of this year, the waters were not too calm, so when merfolk occasionally went ash.o.r.e to look for food, they were probably captured then.” A cyan-clothed scholar nearby continued.

At this time, Qiao Mu’s gaze met that of the little girl’s.

She reflexively soothed her chest with her hand. The reaction she had right now, like a faintly burning spark, was like the first time she saw the sacred water and it had charged at her body.

She felt a bit stifled in her heart and didn’t feel too comfortable.

The little girl’s longing eyes as she peered at the world outside reminded her of the girl that had died in her arms two years ago.

Inexplicably, she wanted to be willful right now.

After the crowd dispersed towards the two sides, Second Manager Qi mounted his horse and led his men on their journey while pompously holding his head high.

Qiao Mu gazed coldly in his direction before suddenly disappearing from her spot.
