Chapter 257 Little Brat
"Are you Shia?"
The woman who suddenly appeared initially had a cold expression, but upon seeing Shia, her expression changed after only a moment of staring. Her voice was somewhat hoarse, yet full of warmth.
"Who...who are you? How do you know me?"
Hia hid behind Qin Mo. She had mixed feelings about the woman, a strange sense of familiarity mixed with a genuine sense of awe.
“You carry your mother’s scent, and can’t you feel the resonance of our bloodline?”
“Oh!...I...I do have a strange feeling, a feeling I’ve only ever felt with Melia.”
"Don't mention that traitor. If it weren't for her, you and your mother wouldn't have been imprisoned."
Shia lowered her head and began to sob sadly, "I can't find my way home, can you take me back to my mother?"
“I don’t know where your mother is being held. Come back with me first, and we’ll find her eventually.”
The beautiful woman reached out to take Xia's hand, but Xia nervously flinched away. Qin Mo immediately stepped between the two of them.
"Mortal, are you offending me?"
The woman was no longer kind to Qin Mo; her cold attitude made Qin Mo feel as if she were surrounded by an eternity of ice.
"Identify yourself!"
Qin Mo's words were also cold and concise. The blonde woman never revealed her identity. If she was allowed to take Shia away like this, how would Qin Mo, a model citizen of the new society who had been educated in the Thirty-Six Strategies for Preventing Scams, bear it?
"You actually want me to reveal my identity? Ha! What right do you have?"
The blonde woman laughed in anger, but her laughter only made the temperature around Qin Mo even colder.
"Shia is my handmaid."
Qin Mo felt that saying just one sentence was enough: "I am the one who makes the decisions for my maids. Who do you think you are?"
The entire garden fell silent instantly. The chirping birds and insects stopped, and all the trees and flowers bowed low, because—a storm was coming.
Qin Mo felt the surroundings suddenly filled with moisture, like waves pressing down on her pulse, one wave after another as if to shatter her.
"No, don't hurt Qin Mo..."
Shia was thrown out by the waves, far from the eye of the storm. She wanted to rush in and hug Qin Mo, but the swirling water vapor formed a small, enclosed space, isolating her outside.
"snort!"
Qin Mo snorted coldly and activated the Yuan Liquid in her dantian. The Yuan Liquid transformed into Qi and formed a vortex that clashed and resisted the water Qi manipulated by the blonde woman in the opposite direction.
Qin Mo himself didn't know how much his cultivation had progressed in the past two years. Although Allen could still easily beat him down, he felt that he was now definitely blessed with the protagonist's aura.
Neither Qin Mo nor the blonde woman actually made a move; they relied entirely on their external energy and water vapor to fight each other.
Qin Mo felt the pressure. This woman was no ordinary person. He had felt immense pressure when he faced King Bernoulli before, but now he felt that this woman was even more formidable than Bernoulli.
Qin Mo pushed her vital energy even harder. Although she couldn't repel the overwhelming wave of energy, she managed to maintain a small area of vital energy, firmly keeping the water vapor outside.
"snort!"
The blonde woman also let out a cold snort, and with a casual wave of her hand, she drew water from the small lake in the garden, which transformed into a series of realistic waves that crashed down on Qin Mo.
“mmp”
Qin Mo cursed inwardly and stopped holding back. He pushed the Yuan Liquid in his dantian to its limit, and a misty fog suddenly appeared around him. This was formed from the purest Yuan Liquid. Bright yellow Yuan Qi swirled out from the misty fog, squeezing out all the surrounding water and water vapor.
"Eh! You're a member of the Great Xia royal family..."
The blonde woman let out a gasp, then slowly began to withdraw her hand. The water waves turned into fine rain and dripped down, causing Qin Mo, who was about to unleash her "Starlight" ultimate move, to slip and fall.
"Even if you are a member of the Great Xia royal family, Shia cannot be your maid. She is my clan's little princess. Are you sure you want to start a war with us?"
"Qin Mo, Qin Mo, she... she is indeed one of my people. Her water control technique is very similar to my mother's." Xiao Xiya waited for the steam to dissipate and then quickly ran over to break up the fight.
"Identify yourself!"
Qin Mo didn't say a word more. Since the other party didn't dare to do anything to her, she could pretend to be aloof. When it came to pretending to be aloof, Qin Mo, who had watched countless brainless TV dramas with her girlfriend in her previous life, was a master in this world.
“You…I am Shia’s aunt Audrey. Now that Debbie is gone, I have the right to take care of Shia.”
"First, how can you prove that you are Shia's aunt? Besides, she is my maid, and I have the right to protect her!"
"Great Xia people, if you insist that Shia is your maid, then let us fight to the death!"
Audrey's eyes became incredibly sharp and resolute, and the aura emanating from her was completely different from before, with a blood-stained killing intent spreading towards Qin Mo.
"Stop... I have a way to tell if she's my aunt. Qin Mo... please stop hitting her..."
Qin Mo dispersed her energy, and Audrey also withdrew her killing intent. Both of them focused their gazes on Shia.
Instead of using the Great Xia language, Shia uttered a string of notes in a strange tone, reminding Qin Mo of the legendary mermaid's song.
