Qiao Mu’s eyes lit up, and she was unresigned, extending her paw again for a second and even a third claw……

  When the third crown prince Ying Fa saw this, he stealthily retreated, silently hiding in deeper waters.

  Although a larger amount of mystic energy was required to operate the defensive barrier in deep water due to the increased water pressure, the most important task on hand was to escape from this little devil’s evil talons.

  In addition to withstanding the water pressure, it also had to ward off the little devil’s attacks, so the mystic energy would drain even faster.

  Ying Fa groaned inwardly, feeling that, perhaps, he wouldn’t even be able to hold out for a single day.

  However, if he were to be transferred out right now before 15 days had passed, he wouldn’t even get a Xuanji Pill as a consolation reward. If so, wouldn’t his trip to the secret realm be merely a joke?

  If other people were to know, they would certainly laugh their heads off.

  Especially if his brothers who were hostile to him knew this, they would definitely play up the situation without holding back, using it to express just how incompetent he was.

  Qiao Mu naturally knew that Ying Fa had stealthily slipped away. However, with Ying Jian in front of her at the moment, she didn’t care whether Ying Fa was present or not.

  With old enmites added onto new acrimonies, Qiao Mu planned to properly settle accounts with this Ying Jian.

  Look at how he was stumbling inside the defensive barrier, wearing an amusing expression like he had eaten sh*t……

  After her third strike, a tiny crack appeared in Ying Jian’s defensive barrier.

  When Qiao Mu saw this, she was instantly invigorated.

  The diamond talisman could allow her to claw open other people’s defensive barriers, but unfortunately, it required many strikes.

  Upon her eighth strike, the defensive barrier around Ying Jian instantly collapsed, and he tumbled out from the defensive barrier in a tussled state. After plunging miserably into the water, he was promptly forced to gulp down a large mouthful of icy water.

  Qiao Mu was satisfied!

  She vigorously gave a kick at the frigid water and swam a circle around Ying Jian who was sprawled out on his back. After waving her hand at him, she simply turned around to leave.

  At this time, Ying Jian’s mood was absolutely chagrined to the extreme!

  In his indignation, Ying Jian kicked at the water to chase after Qiao Mu. However, he didn’t expect the icy water in this glacial pond to be very strange. After getting encased by the icy water, it felt like he had plunged into an ice pit, and his body felt heavy from head to toe. It seemed like a boulder was crushing his chest, and even his breathing started getting labored.

  Qiao Mu watched as this eldest crown prince of the Eastern Ying Kingdom shouted furiously but then immediately got forced to swallow a big mouthful of icy water right afterward. Her large eyes couldn’t help but brighten, and she shook her small hand at him in a maddening fashion before going to seek out her second target.

  Correct, she was seeking to cause trouble for that Saint of the Demonic Cult.

  It was a rare chance that she was swimming like a fish in water while other people were hanging on bitterly. If she didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to hit the saint into a pit while she was down, then how would she be worthy of the “little hoodoo” and “little devil” nicknames that other people gave her……

  Qiao Mu cracked open her small mouth as she swam a circle around the glacial pond. But to her surprise, she didn’t find a trace of the Saint of the Demonic Cult!

  She had clearly seen Sikong Fuling getting transferred inside with her own eyes, so why could she not find any trace of her at this moment?

  Unless…… this fellow also used an invisibility talisman!

  With this thought, Qiao Mu activated her spiritual eyes and scanned the surroundings.

  Soon, she discovered Sikong Fuling’s figure in a corner at the bottom of the pond.

  She really knew how to hide!
