"Pu—" Luo Beiyu's guards and maidservants standing next to them couldn't help but burst out into laughter.
They were tortured by Lady Jun all the way there and felt that life was worse than death.
But when she began torturing somebody else, they felt unspeakably delighted.
Guo Zifei's face was pale from anger, and her maidservant spoke with even more resentment. "It's a spirit fruit, not spirit beast—how could it answer you? Don't talk nonsense. You'd better give us back the Qingying Fruit if you know the time of day… I'm making it clear that those who offend the highness of Jingcheng State will come to no good end!"
"Do you really want the spirit fruit?" The corners of Muyan's mouth curled up and she looked at Guo Zifei. "If you want it, it's not impossible for me to give it to you."
"Lady Jun—!" The head guard couldn't help but shout, "Don't be fooled by this woman!"
Guo Zifei nodded. "Give me the Qingying Fruit now!" She thought Muyan was finally giving in and couldn't help but look pleased.
However, Muyan's next sentence shocked everyone there. "As long as you kneel down and kowtow with sound to me three times and say this a hundred times: 'I'm a b*tch and I betrayed you'. Then I'll give the Qingying Fruit to you. How about that?"
"Pu… Hahahaha…" The people on Luo Beiyu's side finally couldn't help laughing aloud.
Those guards who had been tortured bitterly by Muyan now looked at Muyan full of worship.
Luo Beiyu didn't laugh. He looked at Muyan with slightly red eyes and his heart was surging with a nameless bitterness and warmth.
He became the laughing stock of the whole country after Guo Zifei abandoned him.
Because of Jingcheng State's power, however, he couldn't even seek justice for himself. Even his royal father, the emperor, couldn't support him.
He didn't expect that Muyan, whom he had only known for a few days and whom he called Master, would stand up for him.
Guo Zifei's expression became sullen and she was angered to the point of trembling all over. She pulled out her long sword from its sheath swiftly and snapped: "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being violent!"
Muyan laughed ironically. "Looks like you don't want the Qingying Fruit. Well, Xiaobao, eat it."
Xiaobao nodded quickly with a cold face. Then he held the Qingying Fruit and began to nibble without any hesitation.
All of the people there were dumbstruck!
Eat it?! He was eating it!
The boy ate the Qingying Fruit!
It was a Qingying Fruit!
It was a spirit fruit containing abundant Mystic power, a rare medicine treasure that was coveted in the dreams of Masters of Mystic medicine and Masters of Elixir-refining!
However, such a treasure was eaten clean by a child!
"Ma-ma-ma… Master! It's a Qingying Fruit! It contains extremely powerful Mystic aura. If ordinary people eat it without processing or refining it, it'll break down their internal organs and kill them!" Luo Beiyu came to his senses when he saw that Xiaobao had almost finished the whole Qingying Fruit. He didn't know what to do.
But Muyan smiled carelessly, and she even wiped her son's mouth with her handkerchief leisurely. "Don't worry, Xiaobao has a good appetite. He won't be stuffed."
A good appetite?!
Was that the main problem here?
Xiaobao delivered the Qingying Fruit to Muyan when he had finished more than half of it. "Mommy, you eat!"
"Baby, do you feel stuffed?"
Xiaobao nodded with his two pink cheeks bulging, as cute as a pink rabbit.
