My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Too deceptive

I’m so angry!

Weren’t the heavens too deceptive?! After the talisman strength wore off, no matter what kind of beast was summoned— whether it was normal wild beasts, high-level mystic beasts, and even evil beasts—or demonic plant, any summoned being should disappear when the time period ended!

Why didn’t this chicken scram then? It clearly disappeared after a day the last time she summoned it.

This time, even if she used three summoning talismans, the corresponding time was three days, so the talisman strength should have worn off three days ago!

Why hadn’t it scrammed yet…

Qiao Mu wearily flopped onto the cotton-padded mattress inside the carriage and did not want to even look at a certain chicken that also laid next to her with its legs cowering toward its body.

“Master, Little Master, what’s this chicken’s name?” Typically, Qiao Mu rarely released the golem in front of the other people so as to avoid that chatterbox Monkey haggling her about it. She was not someone who liked to talk.

It was not until everyone returned to their tents to sleep that Qiao Mu allowed the golem to come outside and get some fresh air.

Upon seeing that its Little Master was so fatigued that she ignored it, the little golem continued to make itself known. “Master, Master, I’m called Big Treasure, so is this chicken called Little Treasure?”

Qiao Mu shot up from the mattress is a flash and clouted the golem’s head. “Pah! Your whole family’s called Little Treasure! Wait, no, your whole family isn’t called Little Treasure!”

I’m so aggravated! I shouldn’t talk to them at all! Nagging and annoying! Infuriating too! I’d rather be by myself, all nice and quiet…

“How can this chicken be called Little Treasure?! Its body of cyan-blue feathers is so dirty! It’ll be called Big Cyan from now on.” ‘Wait, no, what “from now on”? There isn’t a “from now on”! Is this thing unable to disappear?’

The golem was secretly smug. ‘…Such a terrible name! It’s nowhere near as nice-sounding as Big Treasure! Little Master definitely loves me the most!’

“Sleep!” Qiao Mu angrily fell back onto her mattress and covered herself with the blanket before curling into a cocoon and rolling to the side of the carriage, falling asleep with immense irritation.

The next day, Qiao Mu did not wake up until the carriage started moving and swaying.

She did not expect to sleep so decently despite her night of irritation…

Her head peeked out from her bed, and she just happened to meet that lousy chicken’s eyes!

“Why haven’t you disappeared yet?” The child pointed at the chicken with astonishment brimming from her eyes. This was the sixth day, right?!

“Caw!” The weak chicken lifted its feet, about to display the “Summon” character!

“I don’t want to see it!” Qiao Mu covered her eyes with a hand and suddenly jumped up from the floor, her head bumping into the wall with a “bang.” Tears nearly started flowing down from the pain immediately.

“Little Master, Little Master, Little Master! Does it hurt?” The golem boisterously circled around her feet.

“Miss Qiao, you’re awake.” Uncle Wang patted his horse to trot next to the carriage when he heard the commotion. “We must leave the Mo Kingdom’s borders before dusk.”

“Okay, let’s hurry on then.” Qiao Mu rubbed her head and fiercely glared at the weak chicken who was cowering its neck.

Could it be because she used three summoning talismans in a row that the talisman strength and time period did not match up?

This hypothesis faded away four days later.

When Qiao Mu strangely looked at the weak chicken who did not disappear even after so many days, she finally understood something.

This chicken…

Could! Not! Go! Back!

Qiao Mu looked down at the yellow summoning talisman for a moment, an ominous feeling surfacing in her mind. ‘There’s no way I won’t be able to summon anything else and can only summon this weak chicken from now on, right…?’

“Xiao Qiao, the Qiu Kingdom’s border is up ahead. Do you want to come out and see?”
