Chapter 1558 - Went for Wool but Came Back Shorn

He suspected that he might not have looked at the almanac when he stepped out the door today. Otherwise, how could he have encountered this hoodoo?

Qiao Mu dragged up that blubbering middle-aged man and said coldly, “I saw that you looked like the manager. It is not a matter of one or two days to get people to gather and gamble. You must have earned quite a lot.”

She felt more convinced the more she analyzed. Therefore, she nodded her petite head before stating apathetically, “Take out everything from your inner world. Otherwise, die.”

The middle-aged man felt that this miss in front of him wasn’t joking when she said the word “die.”

That chilly and incisive gaze, paired with her stoic expression, truly made people’s hearts tremble terribly.

“Mi-Miss, everything I-I own, truly is not worth more than thirty thousand spirit currency!” That middle-aged man cried pitifully, “I swear, I absolutely am not lying to Miss.”

“You swear? What friggin’ use does swearing have!” Beside them, the extremely disheveled princess couldn’t resist lambasting, “Little Miss, don’t believe him. This person completely has no trust to speak of. Those people… had all died in his hands. You absolutely cannot let off people like this to stage a comeback.”

“That’s right, otherwise there will be no end of trouble for the future.”

Qiao Mu’s gaze followed the princess’s finger to the dozen tattered bodies hanging from the railing.

The princess could not suppress her fury.

This was also perhaps because they had not anticipated having to face such a huge crisis the first day that they joyously arrived in Shuntian Prefecture.

Qiao Mu turned her petite head again, and her frigid gaze settled on the middle-aged man’s body. “Are you handing it over, or not?”

Handing it over himself would save her some trouble. If he wasn’t going to hand it over, then she would have to search through his inner world, which was troublesome!

It had to be known that after assimilating the Xuanji Core for such a long time, her cultivation and spiritual conscious had now both made minor advancements.

Her current cultivation state had officially entered level-14 mystic cultivation, phenomenal success state.

On the other hand, her spiritual conscious had broken through to level four.

Even so, her conscious pool could not be compared to other people’s. If judging by just cultivation, hers was naturally lower than this middle-aged man’s.

But her spiritual conscious was much higher than this man in front of her.

The conscious pool of the man in front of her had not even surpassed level 10 of the mystic realm. It would only take a matter of moments for her to strip this fool’s inner world.

But to conform with her principle of slacking off whenever possible, she still hoped that this middle-aged man could hand it over obediently so that she wouldn’t have to deal with the trouble.

However…

After waiting for a while, that middle-aged man merely took out a sack of thirty thousand spirit currency from his inner world while snivelling. There was nothing else besides this.

A stern glint flitted across Qiao Mu’s eyes, and she directly kicked the man’s shin. “You asked for it.”

After saying this, she activated her spiritual conscious and abruptly attacked the other party’s conscious pool. A sneer was on her lips as she scanned the man’s inner world with her spiritual eyes.

“Ah—” The middle-aged man clutched his head, which was hurting from a splitting pain. He felt like his conscious pool was getting torn apart, and everything started escaping his control.

“No, no! Ah!” Before the middle-aged man fainted, his eyes bulged as he saw the items in his inner world pour out like an overturning sea.

Not only was he flabbergasted, the two men and one woman beside Qiao Mu also gaped at her in disbelief.
