Ch 308: You’re Mistaken, I’m A Flying Serpent, Not A Dragon Turtle
They had just caught her, but they didn’t lay a hand on her!
They just wanted to stop her from going to complain!
Que Yun was even angrier, spitting blood. She only slapped the cub, and yet they were so eager to report her.
It wasn’t as if she was seriously injured, was it necessary?
This anger made Que Yun’s head spin even more.
Xuan Qiu frowned, listening to Wu Qiuqiu’s words, unconsciously straightening his back, and solemnly echoed: “Young One is right, whoever bullies you, tell me, and I will not let them off.”
His gaze turned coldly towards the maids on the opposite side.
Not only did they bully She Xiuxiu, but they also disrespected the Master’s cub.
Such maids must not be allowed to remain on the Main Peak.
She Xiuxiu finally stopped crying, vigorously wiping her nose on the white hide on Wu Qiuqiu’s shoulder, turning her head to point at Que Yun, who was being supported by the maids.
“It’s her!”
The maids immediately trembled, letting go of the unsteady Que Yun, and scurried to the side.
Afraid of being implicated by Que Yun.
Que Yun’s legs went weak, her cheeks were bruised, and she looked deeply poisoned.
As soon as the maids let go, she collapsed to the ground.
“Que Yun, what is going on?” Xuan Qiu asked coldly.
“Ridge Lord, I… I just wanted to inquire about the Saintess’s situation, to better serve her, afraid of not understanding her preferences and making a mistake. I didn’t expect this cub to overhear and misunderstand me…”
Seeing the Ridge Lord’s cold and solemn gaze, Que Yun trembled and quickly explained.
She had followed Long Ran for a long time, and lies came easily to her.
It was just the few of them present, and to avoid being implicated, they wouldn’t tell the truth, they would only take their own side.
The Ridge Lord wouldn’t believe a cub’s words over hers.
“Then what about the slap marks on my Little Aunt’s face?” Wu Qiuqiu asked coldly, stepping forward.
She deliberately revealed She Xiuxiu’s identity.
Que Yun was startled, looking at She Xiuxiu.
This cub was actually the Saintess’s Little Aunt?
She gritted her teeth, about to make an excuse, when suddenly her mouth became uncontrollable, “Yes, I did it.”
Que Yun’s face changed, she covered her mouth, and looked stunned.
Wu Qiuqiu narrowed her eyes. It seemed that her Charm Technique still worked on these females.
She turned to the other maids, “Is what she just said true? Was it only to serve me?”
The maids were stunned, subconsciously wanting to cover for Que Yun, but what came out of their mouths was:
“False, Que Yun is lying.”
“She slandered the Saintess behind her back.”
“We just teased her a little, and she held a grudge against the Saintess…”
Several maids spoke at once, quickly recounting the events.
When they came to their senses, several maids were shocked, too scared to even breathe.
Xuan Qiu’s expression was originally grim, but seeing that Wu Qiuqiu possessed such a powerful ability, he felt a little relieved and did not speak for a while.
Seeing this, Que Yun felt a glimmer of hope.
In the past, the Ridge Lord never let Long Ran come out to confront anyone personally. The Ridge Lord always punished the beastkin for Long Ran, and Long Ran never punished them.
In comparison, Que Yun felt that Wu Qiuqiu was even more scheming and vicious.
Since the Ridge Lord wouldn’t stand up for the Saintess, she still had a chance!
“Ridge Lord, I… I know I was wrong, I was momentarily infatuated. It’s all Long Ran’s fault, Long Ran used to speak ill of the Saintess, and I was influenced by her. I know I was wrong now.”
Que Yun knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
“And this cub released a venomous snake to bite me, I’m already poisoned. Ridge Lord, please forgive me this once, considering my poisoning!”
She showed the bite marks on her arm, looking pitiful.
Those who didn’t know the truth might think she was the victim.
The Ridge Lord’s gaze swept across Que Yun’s face, her bruised face and purplish lips indeed looked poisoned.
Seeing this, She Xiuxiu shrunk her neck and quickly glanced at Xuan Qiu.
“Where is the snake?” Xuan Qiu asked calmly, his expression unreadable.
“Here!” Que Yun quickly spoke, letting a maid beside her produce the captured Little Green Snake.
The Little Green Snake’s head was caught, its body tightly wrapped around the maid’s wrist, clearly struggling to resist.
Xuan Qiu looked at She Xiuxiu, “Is this your Companion Spirit?”
She Xiuxiu stiffened, puffing out her chest, “Yes, she hit me, caught me, and wanted to pull out my tongue. Was I wrong to release the snake to bite her?”
Then, remembering that this was Xuan Qiu’s territory, a figure even her older brother couldn’t defeat.
She immediately became more subdued, adding hesitantly, “Also, I did it. If you’re going to blame someone, blame me. You can kick me out, but don’t punish Qiuzai.”
“And… this snake venom isn’t fatal, it’ll just cripple her, then she’ll experience the pain of severed meridians and flaying… “
“It’ll be gone in a day! Really!”
Despite still being afraid of Xuan Qiu, she boldly spoke up for Wu Qiuqiu.
Que Yun: “???”
This is what you call “only”?
If this doesn’t kill her, she doesn’t want to live anymore!
The other maids were also afraid, subconsciously taking a few steps back. The maid holding the Little Green Snake loosened her grip, letting the snake escape.
It swam back to She Xiuxiu’s hand, even rubbing its head against her palm as if to show its grievance.
Seeing She Xiuxiu’s appearance, Xuan Qiu’s face showed a hint of appreciation, “This little Dragon Turtle cub is quite interesting. No wonder Young One takes such good care of you.”
He could see that, although She Xiuxiu was older than the Young One, it was actually the Young One who had been taking care of her along the way.
Truly worthy of the Master’s cub!
So young, yet already possessing the bearing of a leader!
“Dragon Turtle cub?” She Xiuxiu was taken aback, quickly shaking her head. “You’ve got it wrong. I’m from the Teng Snake Clan. My mother and older brother are Teng Snake Beastkin, not Dragon Turtles.”
She assumed Xuan Qiu had mistaken her Beast Form, and didn’t pay much attention to it.
Xuan Qiu smiled and said nothing more.
He turned to his subordinate and instructed, “Go get a veterinarian to treat Que Yun.”
Then he looked at She Xiuxiu.
“Xiuxiu, I need to borrow your Companion Spirit for a few days.”
She Xiuxiu immediately guarded the Little Green Snake and stepped back, “If you’re going to punish someone, punish me, don’t touch my Little Green!”
Seeing this, Que Yun’s face brightened.
The Ridge Lord wasn’t punishing her, but was going to send a veterinarian to save her?
She was right, the Ridge Lord didn’t care about the Saintess at all!
Xuan Qiu smiled faintly and explained, “I’m not going to do anything to your Companion Spirit. Que Yun dared to hurt the Saintess’s little aunt on the Main Peak, I will not let her off lightly. Since your snake venom is not fatal, it’s perfect for punishing her.”
“Let’s punish her with three days of snake venom.”
Xuan Qiu said calmly.
Hearing Xuan Qiu’s words, the smile on Que Yun’s face froze.
