Chapter 398: Chapter 399: Qiu Mo Lies
Qiu Mo bit her lower lip, shaking her head, "No! My father...he... he doesn’t like the Beastmen on the ground."
Surprised, Su Tang asked, "Why?"
Ensuring no one was around, Qiu Mo leaned into Su Tang’s ear and whispered, "I’ll tell you a secret, but you can’t tell anyone else okay~"
"My brother told me, my father was once hurt by the Beastmen on the ground. So, he dislikes them. Also, during the warm season, my father took me to the Ten Thousands Beast Country. I don’t know why, but he was very angry when he came back. I was so scared, I didn’t dare speak to him. Ever since then, he doesn’t allow me to interact with the Beastmen on the ground. I snuck out this time, he doesn’t know this."
Based on her quick thinking, Su Tang speculated there might have been an unpleasant incident in the Ten Thousands Beast Country. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
But even so, that’s not a reason to sever all ties with all the Beastmen Tribes on the ground!
Patting Qiu Mo on the head, Su Tang said, "You’ve been quite naughty, sneaking out like this. Your father and brother must be very worried. Have fun here today and return tomorrow. If you enjoy it here, feel free to come by anytime."
Qiu Mo’s eyes widened and she held tightly onto Su Tang, sobbing softly, "Wuu~ don’t send me away! I don’t want to go back, I, I’m, I’m scared! My father always hits me!"
Hai Qin: "???"
When have I ever laid a finger on you?
Qiu Mo was lying to stay in Peach Blossom Land.
But Su Tang was oblivious, she couldn’t believe it. "What? Your father hits you? But you said he dotes on you. Why else would he take you to the Ten Thousands Beast Country and give you Crystal Stones to cultivate?"
Qiu Mo was internally panicking, quickly backing up her lie, "That’s because... because he wanted me to marry the young master of the Ten Thousands Beast Country! Yes! He wanted me to marry him. I refused, and he hit me!"
Upon hearing this, an exciting drama instantly conjured up in Su Tang’s mind.
Qiu Mo’s father had tried to arrange a political marriage by bringing Qiu Mo all the way to the Ten Thousands Beast Country. But Qiu Mo had refused obstinately, leading to his wrath being inflicted upon her. Following this was her runaway scenario.
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Su Tang felt like Sherlock Holmes at this moment, piecing together the truth with ease!
Looking towards Qiu Mo with pity now, she hugged her tight and whispered soothingly, "Don’t be afraid! As long as you’re here in Peach Blossom Land, you can stay. If your father comes looking for you, I’ll stand up for you!"
Qiu Mo: "..."
She was terrified of her lie being exposed.
"Thank goodness you didn’t choose to marry the young master of the Ten Thousands Beast Country. You made the right choice! I don’t know about the other young masters, but that third one, he’s a piece of work! He’s even locked up in our prison right now!"
Qiu Mo: "⊙∀⊙!"
She cautiously asked, "Are you talking about Bai Zheng?"
After a pause, Su Tang asked, "Your father wouldn’t happen to be trying to marry you off to Bai Zheng, would he?"
Qiu Mo swallowed, she couldn’t admit that it was Bai Zheng who had insulted her, and then got beaten up by her father.
She nodded sorrowfully, "Yes! Isn’t my father horrible?"
