The Queen then said, "Do you think I'm a withered flower? Do you look down on me? Then you're mistaken. I'm still a maiden. You can try if you don't believe me."
Sun Qian and the others blushed and felt extremely awkward, cursing her for being shameless.
Mo Qi looked at her countenance that could ruin nations and felt his heart flutter. For a moment, he genuinely had the urge to try.
He then curled his lips, "King Jin dotes on you so much. You tell us you're a maiden, who would believe that?"
"Believe it or not, you don't dare to try. How can I make you believe?"
"..."
Sun Qian said to Mo Qi with a red face, "It seems this shouldn't be the focus of your concern, right?"
Mo Qi coughed dryly, "Let's not talk about this. If you don't want to leave, you can stay and be my maid from now on. You can definitely forget about being Queen."
"Maid? You're dreaming! How could I, a dignified Queen, be your maid?" Er Zhu Lin said.
The group argued as they entered the Flowing Cloud Tribe.
With a *slap*, Er Zhu Lin's face was struck. She immediately covered her face and looked around angrily, "Who hit me? Who hit me?"
Zi Luo and the others found it inexplicable, "Who hit you? Are you sick?"
They continued to move forward.
Xiao Yi suddenly felt something trip her, and with a *plop*, she fell to the ground.
She scrambled up in a mess, also looking around, "Who, who is it?"
People finally felt something was wrong and looked around in unison.
At that moment, chains suddenly emerged from the ground, binding everyone's feet. They were then dragged downwards at an extremely fast speed. People screamed and flailed, unable to stop their descent.
Mo Qi and Zi Luo simultaneously unleashed their mental power. With a series of *clang clang clang* sounds, the iron chains snapped one after another. People scrambled out from underground, fearing something might grab their feet from behind, kicking out wildly as they crawled.
Mo Qi leaped into the air and hovered in mid-air. He activated his Heavenly Eye and looked down to see a small figure darting underground. The chains on her feet extended infinitely, attempting to bind those who were trying to escape.
Mo Qi made a few gestures in the air, and a space was immediately sealed off beneath the ground.
The little girl walked forward a bit, and with a *boom*, she crashed into something, her head spinning and stars appearing before her eyes.
The little girl turned and headed in another direction, only to hit her head again!
She then went in two other directions, only to hit her head again, bleeding profusely.
The little girl burst into tears!
Mo Qi reached out and pulled her out from underground.
He then discovered it was a girl of about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in ragged clothes, with disheveled hair, like a little beggar.
Chains were bound to her feet, and the other end of the chains was connected to a giant iron pillar about two hundred zhang away, named the Immortal-Binding Pillar!
These iron chains were also extraordinary, likely a magical artifact of this world.
Seeing the little girl looking at him pitifully, Mo Qi suddenly felt a surge of compassion and asked, "Why did you ambush us?"
"I'm responsible for guarding the tribe entrance! Not just you, everyone who enters here, I have to ambush," the little girl said innocently, sitting on the ground.
"You've tried your best and couldn't stop us. Let us pass," Mo Qi said.
"I can't. If I let you pass, they will beat me," the little girl said.
"Who will beat you?" Mo Qi asked curiously.
"They..." The little girl looked around, her eyes filled with infinite fear.
"How pitiful," Sun Qian was almost in tears, "Let's find a way to save her."
Mo Qi saw Xiao Yi's eyes light up and immediately instructed, "Xiao Yi, eat these chains."
Xiao Yi cheered and pounced, biting and swallowing from the little girl's feet all the way to the Immortal-Binding Pillar. She even ate the pillar itself.
"Alright, you are free," Mo Qi said to the little girl.
The little girl sat there, stunned. The sudden freedom had clearly impacted her too much; she hadn't figured out where to go.
Mo Qi no longer paid attention to her and led the others further in.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside the little girl, roaring, "Ye Qingqing, how dare you let people in, and even dare to destroy the Immortal-Binding Pillar!"
Ye Qingqing immediately knelt on the ground, "Manager Pang, I didn't do it on purpose. I couldn't beat them..."
And this cry of "Ye Qingqing" suddenly made Mo Qi freeze!
All his memories surged into his mind like a tide, followed by a heart full of sorrow and a belly full of grievances.
Ye Qingqing, was his sister in this world!
For tens of thousands of years, he had almost forgotten he had a sister!
He remembered when he left tens of thousands of years ago, she was just this small.
Tens of thousands of years of confinement and bondage had prevented her from growing even a little bit!
All that tens of thousands of years had given her was ragged clothes and a body full of scars!
And day after day of fear!
You demons, demons who eat people without spitting out bones!
Demons deserving of death!
At this moment, Manager Pang took out a whip and struck Ye Qingqing with a *snap*, "Should you be beaten, should you be beaten?"
Ye Qingqing hugged her head and rolled on the ground, "I was wrong, I was wrong, stop hitting me..."
Mo Qi's scalp tingled, his blood boiled instantly, his eyes turned red, as if spitting fire, "Stop!"
Due to extreme anger, he actually couldn't make a sound.
Sun Qian, Xiao Yi, Yu Quanlin, and others looked at him in shock. Although they didn't know what he said, the boundless rage had infected everyone around.
Manager Pang continued to whip Ye Qingqing as if no one else was there, "You lowly slave, I'll beat you to death."
Suddenly, Mo Qi charged forward like a beast. There were no elegant movements, no flashy techniques. He just charged forward stiffly, grabbed Manager Pang by the waist, lifted him, and slammed him to the ground.
Manager Pang tried to use his bone-shrinking technique to dodge, but for some reason, he couldn't unleash any techniques. He struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Then, a barrage of punches rained down on Manager Pang. Each punch was like a heavy hammer striking him, reaching his very marrow. The first few punches were accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, but later there were no sounds, only the feeling of hitting mud.
Flesh and blood flew, splattering everywhere!
And Mo Qi's beast-like roars finally broke free, "I told you to stop, I told you to stop..."
People were terrified, their hearts trembling.
Sun Qian covered her eyes.
At this moment, Zi Luo flew over and suddenly stopped Mo Qi, "Stop hitting him, he's already dead!"
Mo Qi then came to his senses, retracted his fists, and straightened his half-crouched posture.
He looked sideways, Ye Qingqing was still rolling on the ground, "I was wrong, don't hit me, don't hit me..."
Mo Qi could no longer suppress his tears, which streamed down his face. He stepped forward, picked up Ye Qingqing, and held her in his arms, "Qingqing, don't be afraid, brother is back!"
Although Ye Qingqing stopped begging, she was still agitated and struggled fiercely.
Mo Qi held her tightly, unwilling to let go.
Ye Qingqing pulled out a dagger from somewhere and with a *chink*, stabbed it into Mo Qi's abdomen.
"Ah!" Er Zhu Lin, Xiao Yi, Zi Luo, and Wan Yan Ting all cried out in unison.
Sun Qian, covering her eyes, didn't know what had happened. Hearing the cries, she immediately let go of her hands. Seeing Mo Qi bleeding profusely, she also let out a cry.
Xiao Yi and Zi Luo lunged towards Ye Qingqing simultaneously.
Mo Qi roared, "It's okay, don't move her, I'm fine."
Although he roared, his voice was weak, his lips were purple, and his body was trembling. How could he be fine?
However, Xiao Yi and Zi Luo stopped in their tracks, landing a zhang away from Mo Qi.
Mo Qi cupped Ye Qingqing's head with both hands, making her look him in the eye, and said through gritted teeth, "Qingqing, I know the pain and torment you've endured these tens of thousands of years. If you still feel pain, then stab me. Let me bear it for you."
Saying this, he grabbed Ye Qingqing's hand, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed again.
When he pulled it out again and was about to stab again, Ye Qingqing suddenly grabbed the dagger forcefully, preventing it from advancing even an inch further, and then burst into tears, "Brother, don't!"
Mo Qi released her hand, pressed her head onto his shoulder, and blood and tears flowed together.
"Qingqing, from today onwards, I won't let anyone bully you again!"
With someone to rely on, Ye Qingqing whimpered softly, venting the grievances of tens of thousands of years to her heart's content.
Her appearance hadn't changed in tens of thousands of years, but that didn't mean her mind had not matured.
She was perfectly aware of all her hatred and grievances.
In the past, she could only grit her teeth, swallow her hatred, but today, she had someone to rely on.
Regardless of whether revenge was possible, at least she could cry to her heart's content!
For tens of thousands of years, she couldn't remember her brother's appearance.
But this familiar aura, this majestic presence, who else could it be but her brother?
The loneliest thing in this world is to bear suffering alone!
When someone shares her suffering, she will also cry, but her tears will be sweet.
Because she is no longer alone!
At this moment, Xiao Yi and Er Zhu Lin, deeply moved, also burst into tears.
Sun Qian, Wan Yan Ting, and Zi Luo silently turned their heads to wipe away their tears.
Xian Fei, Yu Quanlin, and Dou Wu's eyes also moistened, as they tried their best to hold back their tears.
After crying for a while, Er Zhu Lin reminded, "My King, you're still bleeding!"
Ye Qingqing suddenly woke up and immediately used her hands to block Mo Qi's wound, crying as she said, "Brother, I'm sorry."
Mo Qi gave a wry smile, "It's nothing, I won't die."
Saying this, he ate a healing pill.
The wound quickly healed!
Mo Qi then stood up straight.
Er Zhu Lin, like a lovesick girl, rushed to hug him, "My King, you are so handsome!"
Everyone frowned at the sight. Was this the former Queen?
At this moment, several figures were rapidly approaching from a distance.
Ye Qingqing's face turned pale with fright and she hid behind Mo Qi.
Mo Qi gently pushed Er Zhu Lin away and looked up at the approaching figures.
