Before Qiao Mu could retrieve the ancestor killer into its beast bag, the centipede suddenly went crazy and bit her.
Fortunately, Qiao Mu was raised in poisons.
Although she was not immune to the poison of the level-five spotted sixty-legged purple centipede, she had many antidote pills.
After taking a few, she somehow controlled the poison.
However, the damage was done.
Because the centipede bite was too painful, Qiao Mu subconsciously screamed and alerted everyone in the city lord's residence.
Even more unfortunate, the centipede refused to unlatch from her cheek.
At this point, Qiao Mu could only hope the blame would fall on someone else so she wouldn't be suspected.
"Father-in-law, you must seek justice for me." Qiao Mu cried in an aggrieved voice.
"Qiao girl, what happened?" Fang Tiancheng asked.
"I was drinking tea in my study when I was suddenly attacked." Qiao Mu said and quickly continued.
