Chapter 013: Your whole family is mute

"Shen Shen, what?" The disciple of the Tian Dao Sect suddenly felt a bit suffocated in his chest, and for a moment he was at a loss for words, almost unable to regain his composure.

This girl actually said she's not interested? Not interested? She said she's not interested?

Not only did the dazed disciple of the Tian Dao Sect think that his ears were not working properly and misheard, but even all the villagers around also thought they were experiencing auditory hallucinations!

No way! Qiao Mu, this little girl, could actually refuse the invitation from the Tian Dao Sect?

"Huh? So you're not mute after all." Prince Lian suddenly appeared in front of Qiao Mu, moving so fast that Qiao Mu's parents standing beside her felt as if their vision had suddenly blurred.

Qiao Zhongbang didn't react in time, and he found that his daughter had been caught in the arms of the unpredictable Prince Lian, and he quickly stepped back to the side of the crowd.

Just as Qiao Mu returned to her parents, before she could say anything to them, she suddenly became very displeased, glaring at Prince Lian with eyes emitting an aura of hostility.

However, this young man completely ignored it, not only unafraid of being frozen by the cold aura, but also holding the child and leaving the crowd without a care.

A dozen or so black-clad youths looked at each other for a while, with a question in their eyes: they had just discovered that the order not to allow unrelated people to approach seemed to have no effect on this little girl!

Sitting on a dry and withered tree trunk as thick as an arm, all she could see was the color of withered trees covering the entire Mount Yulan. The desolate scenery, just like the chaotic world, made it impossible to see any glimmer of hope.

However, what people didn't know was that beneath this desolation and withering, there was a hidden paradise, abundant in resources, hidden deep in Mount Yulan. The few baskets of mysterious stones dug up today were nothing compared to the large mountain of mysterious stone ore in the paradise. In the past life, it was when she was ten years old that this paradise was discovered, causing various forces to tremble, and people's greed led to countless battles and casualties.

At that time, the calamity of the corpse puppets had erupted, and the world was difficult to survive in. This resource-rich paradise had almost become the longed-for holy land in everyone's hearts.

Unfortunately, after continuous excavation and plundering, as well as the constant devastation of war, the entire paradise was destroyed and collapsed in less than three months.

"Not mute, huh?" The feeling of his fingers pinching her cheeks completely pulled her thoughts back from a distance.

Glaring angrily at the smiling face opposite her, Qiao Mu couldn't help but roar in her heart: you're the mute one, your whole family is mute!

"My whole family is not mute." The prince instantly understood the little girl's eyes, and with a smile, he provoked a few eye rolls from Qiao Mu.

The young man, still smiling, didn't get annoyed, but simply took Qiao Mu's small hand, opened her clenched palm, and looked at the three red marks.

Qiao Mu pulled her hand back, but didn't pull it away, and looked sullenly at him without saying a word: feeling unhappy!

"Alright, stop being naughty, I'm going to bandage your wound. If you don't take care of the wound properly, your hand will become ugly!" The young man reached out and conjured a cup of clean water out of thin air, carefully rinsed Qiao Mu's left hand, and wiped it clean with a white cloth.

Then, a bottle of medicated ointment made from a secret recipe appeared out of thin air. When the lid was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out, and Qiao Mu's eyes, which had been calm and indifferent, suddenly flickered, and her black eyes rolled.

"Like it? I'll give it to you after I apply it." The young man was applying the ointment to Qiao Mu without pausing, and without looking up, he smiled and said a sentence.
