A bit of suspicion flashed by Long Xiao Yuâs eyes. Then he continued to ask,
âThen how did you know that there was Heart Controlling Gu in the soup?â
This time Mu Zi Ling was stumped by the question. How could she just answer this
question with a simple, âI just know itâ? The purpose of Long Xiao Yu coming here
was to ask her about the Heart Controlling Gu, but she couldnât reveal the Stellar
System.
Moreover, this matter has already happened many days ago, why was Long Xiao Yu
still coming over and interrogating her? The Gu was a really frightful creature, and it
was also prepared by the Empress. Does Long Xiao Yu want to investigate something
from her? If thatâs the case, then Long Xiao Yu found the wrong person to investigate
because other than knowing what type of Gu it was, she doesnât know anything else.
However, since Long Xiao Yu has asked her a question, it would not be right for her to
not answer.
âThis wife noticed that something was strange about the bowl of soup that day.
However, no matter how hard I try to investigate it, I couldnât find what was wrong
with it. Only later did I realize that there was Gu in the soup. This wife has heard her
master mention something about the Gu before, so according to the circumstances
of the soup, this wife concluded that it mustâve been the Heart Controlling Gu.â
spoke Mu Zi Ling without any feelings of guilt. The way she spoke was as if she was
telling the truth, not letting anyone see through her lies.
After Mu Zi Ling finished speaking, she felt better inside. Having a master that
doesnât actually exist was really useful! She could pull her âmasterâsâ name out
anytime she wants. No one will also be able to find him, so itâs a very safe option.
In the future when she lies, she wouldnât have to think up an excuse anymore.
Mu Zi Ling waited for a while, but Long Xiao Yu still didnât speak. In a split second,
Mu Zi Ling felt a holt of coldness up her legs. She suddenly felt very cold.
She involuntarily raised her head and looked towards Long Xiao Yu, and her eyes
met up with Long Xiao Yuâs deep eyes.
Mu Zi Lingâs heart trembled. Crap, this guyâs expression was clearly saying that he
doesnât believe in her words. However, when she spoke, she made it sound like
she was telling the truth and there was no holes in her lie.
Le Tian seemed to just guess that it was the Gu too. The only thing that Le Tian
didnât guess was what type of Gu it was. Could she not be a bit smarter than Le
Tian and guess what type of Gu was in the soup? How is this so strange?
Mu Zi Ling started to feel a bit guilty inside when she being coldly stared down by
Long Xiao Yu like this. However, she clenched down her teeth and still pretended
to be calm in front of Long Xiao Yuâs glaze. She didnât reveal any of her guilty
feelings.
Her heart was beating like crazy at this moment. She didnât even do anything bad,
why was she feeling so guilty?
In this whole world, she was probably the only person who would dare to look at the
Qi King calmly while he was shooting cold glares.
How smart of a person was Long Xiao Yu? How could it be possible for Long Xiao
Yu to believe that Mu Zi Lin has a master like that? Plus, he already knew that this
Heart Controlling Gu was different from other species of Gu.
He doesnât believe in Mu Zi Lingâs words. One thing he knew for sure was that this
woman definitely knows more than what she claims to know.
Long Xiao Yu knew that he would get the same response if he asked again, so he
didnât ask Mu Zi Ling more questions.
However, he didnât expect this woman to lie straight to his face. Her face didnât
even turn red, and she still remained calm.
It was not known how much time has passed. Just at the moment that Mu Zi Ling
was about to run out of breath and give up, Long Xiao Yu opened his mouth,
âWhereâs the bowl of soup?â
How could Mu Zi Ling still mind what question Long Xiao Yu asks her anymore?
She only wishes for Long Xiao Yu to stop staring at her and scaring her. This was
the reason why she quickly replied to his question without even processing it in
her mind, âDrank it.â
âDrank it?â said Long Xiao Yu as his eyes shot back at Mu Zi Ling.
Mu Zi Ling was suddenly startled. Only then did she realized what Long Xiao Yu
asked and what she has answered him with. She opened her mouth again and
said, âThis wife fed it to a poisonous toad.â
Now Mu Zi Ling was able to claim her heart down. The bowl of soup truly was
eaten by Little Idiot, so her response this time was true. Long Xiao Yu shouldnât
be doubting her anymore right?
Little could she imagined, she was making the situation worse and stretching
the story further.
âThis King is curious, what type of poisonous toad would be able to drink the whole
jar of food? Its appetite sure is huge to be able to drink a whole jar.â
This woman was surprising him more and more. She even brought poisonous toads
into this conversation. It seems like this woman has many more secrets.
Now Mu Zi Ling wished that she didnât say anything earlier. Why did she have to say
âDrank itâ when Long Xiao Yu asked her the question? Wouldnât it be easier if she
have just said that she poured it out? The way that Long Xiao Yu was asking her
question was clearly pointing out that he didnât believe her.
At this moment, Mu Zi Ling really wanted to reply Long Xiao Yu with: This is my own
business, why does the Qi King have to bother with so much?
However, she has already been warned by Long Xiao Yu twice. If she replied to him
saying that this was her own business, then who knows if Long Xiao Yu would
explode on the spot or not.
Even though she still doesn't understand why Long Xiao Yu would say it like that,
but this guyâs emotions doesnât seem calm. It would be better if she doesnât provoke
him.
Long Xiao Yuâs words had hidden meanings in them. What he have asked was not
what he seemed like he asked. However, Mu Zi Ling didnât think about it that much.
Mu Zi Ling only simply thought that Long Xiao Yu didnât believe that a tiny poisonous
toad would be able to drink a whole jar of soup. Then she foolishly said,
âPoisonous toads would not drink the soup itself. There are worms in the soup, and
the poisonous toad only eats the worms. This wife fed it in portions many different
times. It didnât drink it all at once.â said Mu Zi Ling naturally with a serious face.
She could only say it like that. Little idiot was so tiny. If it was not because she saw it
with her own eyes, she would never believe that Little Idiot would be able to eat so
much.
If Long Xiao Yu doubts her for about that, then it wouldnât be strange at all. After all,
even a normal toad wouldnât be that large. Not to mention that Little Idiot was not
even larger than an inch.
Seeing Mu Zi Ling lie foolishly with such a serious face, his eyes flashed by with a
feeling that no one else could see. Then he coldly threw out a few words and left.
