Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao observed the unfolding spectacle with glittering eyes. Abruptly, she pivoted and unleashed a punch towards Madam Guo'an's visage. "There's no one left to protect you now!"
Madam Guo'an was taken aback, her instincts compelling her to contort her body and instinctively defend herself.
Boom! Qiao Mu's punch swiftly annihilated the defensive barrier in Madam Guo'an's grasp, thrusting her backward with tremendous force.
Madam Guo'an collided heavily with a wooden window on the s.h.i.+p's side, cras.h.i.+ng through the shattered window and onto the floor within. A bewildered expression crossed her face momentarily.
What? She had been punched from outside into the cabin by that young lady?
Everyone stared in utter astonishment at the little lady, rendered speechless for a considerable period.
The little lady's proclivity for immediate action was nothing short of stunning.
Wait, weren't they meant to be allies now?
Evidently, in the little lady's eyes, individuals such as Madam Guo'an were far from being her allies. While they had been at Three Rivers Pier, the protection of the G.o.dly State expert, Mr. Zhao, had prevented her from dealing with Guo'an. Nevertheless, this did not imply she had forgotten their previous altercation.
The Veil Queen, who observed the situation, couldn't help but shudder.
She had not antic.i.p.ated this young lady's mercilessness. Furthermore, it had been some time since the initial incident, yet she still harbored intentions of teaching Madam Guo'an a lesson.
Qiao Mu stomped toward the window hole and entered the cabin. She coldly intoned, "Failing to return a favor is impolite!"
Everyone: …
d.a.m.n, the act was undeniably ruthless. Why did they feel like laughing…
"Failing to return a favor is impolite?" Those words sounded strangely familiar.
Hadn't the little lady already been berating him when he was disciplining Guo'an?
Could it be that the first half of the lesson was unfinished and had extended into today? Was the second half of the lesson now deemed complete?
The Veil Queen's lips twitched strangely.
He pondered how, previously, his entourage had merely ingested the other party's barbecued food, and yet the d.a.m.n little stoic had induced vomiting for a full ten hours!
Ten hours!!
Now, whenever her subordinates saw someone grilling food, they couldn't help but detach themselves.
It was nothing short of a traumatic ordeal!
Even if barbecue was presented before them in the future, they probably wouldn't be able to partake in it.
What a shameless little tormentor!
The Veil Queen muttered curses inwardly.
At this juncture, Qiao Mu had already advanced to Madam Guo'an's side. Gazing into the terror-stricken eyes, she spun the longsword in her hand. "I spared you time and time again. Do you believe I'm scared of you?"
"What, what do you intend to do? You! Don't act recklessly! If the Emperor gets wind of this…"
"If he learns of it, so be it." Qiao Mu thrust her sword directly into Madam Guo'an's thigh.
"Ah!!" Madam Guo'an sat upright, agony coursing through her as she writhed and attempted to crawl away. "You, stay away, stay away!"
Qiao Mu extended her hand and gently withdrew the sword from Madam Guo'an's leg. Coldly, she inquired, "Have you contemplated how you'll meet your end?"
Several drops of dark red blood dripped from the blade, leaving no trace of crimson on the sword.
Madam Guo'an's eyes widened in astonishment as she gazed blankly at the young girl before her.
"Yellow sheep! Yellow sheep!" Madam Guo'an suddenly seemed to recollect something and cried out with urgency.
