The white puppies refused to accept the fact that their sumptuous meal had just flown away like that.

They bared their teeth at Qiao Mu while barking, intent on dashing over to snatch the core from Qiao Mu’s hands.

Yet Qiao Mu’s gaze turned stern as she questioned the three puppies sharply. “You really want to fight me?”

The three white puppies simultaneously halted.

At the same time, Qiao Mu swiftly flicked ten thunder spirit talismans above the three puppies’ heads with a swish.

Everybody gazed at her speechlessly.

Subsequently, they saw those thunder spirit talismans suddenly activating above the three puppies’ heads.

Thunderbolts erupted from the talismans and enveloped the three puppies, immediately turning their white fur coats black. They could only whimper pitifully.

Dao Wuji facepalmed, unable to bear the sight.

He didn’t expect Boss’s wife to have such a temper.

She became hostile at the drop of a hat, without even giving the other party leeway for regret.

She actually had the heart to attack these three cutie pies!

Everybody felt like they could not look on!

These pitiful white puppies didn’t know the story about the mantis who stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole lurking behind… 

“Wu! Wu!” The white puppies circled around everybody, looking rather miserable.

They really didn’t expect the sacred beast core they had been longing for for so long to fall into someone else’s hands like this, wuwuwu…

However, the little stoic merely gave them an apathetic look. “What are you three? Show your true form.”

The three little doggies roared at her twice. Their originally pure white fur had now turned into a smoky black and was standing on end from the explosion.

Qiao Mu had long put away that sacred beast core. She swept a light glance over the three little doggies.

She did not feel guilty at all. These three little doggies were originally harboring ulterior motives when they approached her.

Wasn’t it just that these three recognized their strength and wanted them to fight against the double-headed flood dragon?

Perhaps, these three puppies were the ones that caused the double-headed flood dragon’s previous injuries?

Even though Qiao Mu found it a bit inconceivable, she was able to connect the dots after pondering it over.

She really would be a fool if she still thought that these three were just ordinary hounds!

Since the little doggies were unwilling to show their original form, she let it go at that. She wasn’t in the mood to continue bickering with them and waved them off. “Since the double-headed flood dragon has been taken care of now, you can leave.”

Let alone the three little doggies that were infuriated to no end after hearing this, even everybody else felt…

Miss Qiao was such a bully!

“Wu!” The white puppies darted to Qiao Mu’s feet. Crown Prince Mo was unhappy when he saw this and wanted to kick these three away.

Yet who would’ve foreseen—

“Wuwuwu”

“Wuwu—” The three little doggies with sooty coats tugged at Qiao Mu’s skirt and started whimpering with sobs.

Everyone: “…”

This was too theatrical!

The three white puppies that had rushed up to provoke the double-headed flood dragon were now abandoning their pride for the sake of the sacred beast core… 

If the white puppies could speak, they would definitely diss everybody back: ‘What was their pride useful for when they lost a sacred beast core?’

Qiao Mu looked down at the three puppies. She then expressionlessly took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket and poured out three pills. “Don’t cry!”

Haven’t you heard before that you should shed tears sparingly?

“This sacred beast core is for Qiuqiu to use. The next core will go to you,” the little fellow deadpanned while handing them the pills.

“Here!”
