My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 3024

3024 Extreme Danger
“Ah!” Taken by surprise, everyone tumbled into the water like dumplings.

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao extended her ample foot and tapped on a small section of the floating wooden lattice. She turned and observed Mo Lian busily collecting the fragments of the Exquisite Ball. Countless saber-toothed fish leaped around his feet and then accidentally brushed against the fiery barrier that materialized beneath him, causing them to hastily retreat.

Qiao Mu waved her hand, and a blank Storage Talisman emitting a purple glow emerged from her inner world. It circled around her before coming to a halt right in front of her.

The supreme-grade purple talisman’s radiance intensified, while countless longsword-toothed fish were absorbed into it and began spiraling in the air. Wave after wave of fish heads and tails were drawn into the talisman by the supreme-grade purple radiance.

The shipwrights, who had been panicked moments ago, found themselves caught in shock and awe as they witnessed the extraordinary spectacle unfold before them. They stood there, completely unable to articulate their thoughts, for quite some time.

When Qiao Mu sealed the last saber-toothed fish within the purple talisman, she reached out and pinched the talisman into her hand.

Sighs of relief emanated from the hearts of the onlookers. Their gazes fixed on the expressionless young lady, silently recognizing, “This young lady may appear cold, but she’s got a kind heart. This move just saved most of us.”

Many had fallen into the water since they lacked wooden panels to stand on at the time. Fortunately, all the saber-toothed fish had been removed from the water by Qiao Mu, sparing them from further calamity.

Simultaneously, the bedraggled Holy Daughter Nie Yaoguang emerged from the ship’s depths with disheveled hair and a pallid complexion. She was drenched, though it was unclear whether it was from the cold or sheer terror. Her expression was grim, and her entire body quivered uncontrollably.

Recalling her previous actions, Nie Yaoguang’s face twisted with regret.

Meanwhile, Holy Son Miyan and over 30 divine disciples struggled to emerge from the water, their expressions sour and displeased.

While submerged underwater earlier, Holy Daughter Nie Yaoguang had indeed managed to place most of the saber-toothed fish into the Exquisite Ball. This feat initially earned her praise, and everyone thought of her as a reliable member of the team.

But what had happened next?

Midway through, Nie Yaoguang’s expression shifted dramatically. The Exquisite Ball in her grasp had exploded—yes, exploded!

Holy Son Miyan and his group of divine disciples were caught off guard, hastily deploying multiple defensive barriers to escape a close encounter with a group of saber-toothed fish. It had been an extremely dangerous situation.

On their return to the Red River Canyon, they had already lost five or six Divine Hall disciples. Their deaths weren’t at the hands of spiritual beasts or divine beasts, which would have been somewhat acceptable, but rather at the hands of the Exquisite Ball wielded by Holy Daughter Nie Yaoguang!

Holy Son Miyan’s expression darkened as he cast an accusatory gaze at the befuddled Sage Aunt Nie Yaoguang.

Nie Yaoguang’s face had gone pallid, and she was still trembling from the terrifying experience.

She was about to defend herself, but her protest was abruptly halted as she witnessed the stoic-faced young lady using a Storage Talisman, radiating a purple light, to capture all the saber-toothed fish.

“What are you doing?” Nie Yaoguang angrily shouted.

Heavens, those little ones had piqued her interest first! And yet, they were taken away by that stoic-faced maiden in one fell swoop?

Holy Daughter was on the verge of tearing her hair out in frustration. These had been her discovery, and she’d set her sights on them long before anyone else!

Nie Yaoguang’s complexion shifted from pale to dark and then back again, mirroring her tumultuous emotions.
