Chapter 2963 Qiuqiu, Your Heart Is So Dark...

Glancing around, he suddenly realized that he was no longer in the dim alley. Instead, a vibrant forest surrounded him, with towering, lush trees.
In an unexpected turn of events, a tree vine that had been hanging behind him swiftly came to life. Its movement resembled that of a sinuous, black snake, moving with remarkable agility. With a whooshing sound, it coiled around Mo Lian's arm.
Mo Lian cautiously raised the Raven Moon sword in her hand, her hesitation evident as she prepared to strike. She understood that within the boundaries of this tree's shadow, recklessly damaging it would inevitably harm the precious fragment it represented.
This tree seed fragment was a vital part of Qiuqiu, and injuring it wasn't a wise course of action. Leaving it unharmed was essential to ensure its continued existence.
Mo Lian couldn't help but feel a growing headache as she skillfully evaded the relentless tree vines attacking her.
"Lian!" Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao swiftly rushed forward, her small face darkening. "Viscount, reveal yourself!"
"Master, don't worry about the Great Crown Prince. He'll be safe."
The Crown Prince the Great's martial prowess was legendary. If Little Four continued to court disaster…
Qiuqiu secretly criticized it in its heart, lighting a metaphorical candle for the situation. Next spring, it might as well prepare to perform a solemn ceremony at his grave during the Qingming Festival.
"Master, it's not far ahead! Let's chase after them!"
With Qiuqiu's fervent encouragement, Qiao Mu accelerated and followed the indicated direction.
In the distance, a towering tree came into view, beneath which rested an ornate, golden flower-patterned recliner. Upon it reclined a plump baby dressed in crimson undergarments.
Surrounding the chubby child were seventeen or eighteen youngsters of various ages, all attentively serving him tea and water, addressing him as "King!"
"King, have a banana!"
"King, please drink some water. Don't rush, take your time."
"King, feeling warm? Shall I fan you to cool down?"
As Qiao Mu approached, the sycophantic behavior of these children towards the so-called King didn't escape her notice, and she couldn't help but suppress a smirk.
What on earth was happening here?
She couldn't help but glance at the usually stoic little treant, Qiuqiu, from the corner of her eye.
Qiuqiu's two bright black eyes remained devoid of emotion, but Qiao Mu could sense that the treant was secretly experiencing a meltdown.
"Cough." Qiao Mu gently plucked the little treant from her shoulder and placed it on her arm. "Qiuqiu, I never realized your ambitions were this grand."
"So, you've always harbored dreams of being a Mountain King!"
"Creating a cadre of loyal servants to cater to your every whim!"
"No wonder you had Little Water and Little Earth serve you in the past. It seems you've unconsciously aspired to be a Mountain King…"
Several leaves suddenly lunged at Qiao Mu, attempting to silence her with a gentle rustle.
Qiuqiu could feel its tiny sapling pride about to ignite into a full-blown blaze.
It was on the verge of being driven to madness by this chubby, insufferable baby in front of it!
What was wrong with this fragment? It had erected an imposing barrier and forcibly enlisted numerous children from the city's ordinary families just to make them its loyal subjects?
Outrageous!
Despicable!
Utterly shameless!
The sapling Qiuqiu couldn't help but berate the senseless fragment inwardly, all while metaphorically shaking its leaves in disapproval.
"Hey! Why aren't you groveling before me?" the chubby child abruptly sat upright and yelled in a childlike voice.
Qiao Mu struggled to stifle her laughter, though the urge to burst into giggles was undeniable. Her usual stern countenance came to her rescue, allowing her to conceal the amused smile that threatened to emerge.
