2973 Tragic…

Reality revealed that Fifth Young Sir had been overly apprehensive.

As he watched the scorpions swiftly pass him by, his eyes widened with astonishment. It seemed these small creatures could discern friend from foe with astonishing precision, down to a third of a centimeter?

In actuality, the scorpions weren’t large, but they were all intelligent spiritual beasts, capable of comprehending the giant sand scorpion’s commands.

Observing the scorpions encroach on their location, Madam Guo’an began to panic. She clung to the strong man’s arm, her voice quivering as she cried out, “What should we do? What are we supposed to do now?”

“Consort, it’s better to retreat. Let’s move quickly!” The man responded with urgency.

Indeed, the thought of being ensnared in a swarm of scorpions was enough to fill anyone with dread. Who knew what peril such an encounter might bring?

Madam Guo’an was already in a state of distress. Upon hearing the man’s suggestion, she nodded and pulled him away.

The sand scorpions, like a relentless tide, consumed a few of the slower spiritual beasts in their path. When they eventually dispersed, only a few scattered spiritual beast skulls remained on the ground.

Qiao Mu stood among the scorpions, her expression indifferent as she observed Madam Guo’an’s crooked retreat. Madam Guo’an had to activate several teleportation talismans to finally escape the encroaching scorpions.

A frigid gleam flickered in Qiao Mu’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Madam Guo’an, having successfully evaded the peril, wiped away a handful of cold sweat. She gasped for breath and sighed with relief. “Thank goodness, those creatures weren’t too swift. They didn’t manage to catch up.”

The muscular man nodded in agreement, but then his gaze abruptly fixed on the back of her neck, and his voice quivered as he said, “Consort, don’t, don’t move!”

Confused, Guo’an looked at him. As his gaze remained locked onto her, she cast him an automatic, flirtatious glance.

“You, intruder! Why are you gawking at me?” Madam Guo’an exhibited her typical narcissism as she caught a glimpse of her own figure. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a black snakelet.

In an instant, she spun around in sheer horror. The once soft and nestled little black snake that had been on the back of her collar had abruptly lifted its head and struck at her nose.

“Ah!!” Madam Guo’an let out an ear-piercing shriek.

Fifth Young Sir Qin, who had been a distance away in the courtyard, involuntarily shuddered. Guo’an’s scream was nothing short of harrowing, as if she had been stung by a bee’s venomous barb. Her cry echoed with world-shaking intensity.

Qiao Mu retrieved a bit of medicinal powder and scattered it over the cluster of small scorpions. The scorpions, seeming to delight in the offering, advanced to encircle Qiao Mu within a 500-meter radius.

Fifth Young Sir Qin couldn’t help but shiver. The young lady before him appeared utterly extraordinary.

With a disinterested expression, Miss Qiao finished providing sustenance to the small scorpions, then called them all back to Shaji Planet.

The massive sand scorpion bounded over and nestled beside Qiao Mu, remarkably obedient. The formerly fierce visage of the scorpion seemed to bear the inscription of ‘compliant’ at that moment.

This spectacle caught Fifth Young Sir Qin’s attention once more, and he couldn’t help but gaze at Qiao Mu in bewilderment.

Qiao Mu happened to notice his gaze and grumbled, “Clumsy.” Stepping forward, she tossed a vial of medicinal solution in his direction.

Fifth Young Sir struggled for a considerable time but couldn’t manage to withdraw the vial of medicinal solution from his Viscount…

Having been brought along by Guo’an, he had spent a restless night, filled with anxiety and exhaustion.
