Long Ju did not flinch under the gun that was pointed at her. She very calmly raised her brow and then looked at Mo Qiang without moving her head. It was her eyes that turned to glance at Mo Qiang, she then questioned, " Is Miss Qiang willing to go to prison? If not then you might as well ask your sister to drop her gun. Or else…" she trailed off, though Long Ju was just a merchant, she had dealings with the imperial family.
If she was harmed then it wouldn't end so simply.
Mo Xifeng might even get executed for hurting her.
" Oh no one is going to the prison," Mo Qiang stated as she raised her hand and then pressed on Mo Xifeng's arm which was aimed at Long Ju and then motioned her to calm down. Though Mo Qiang understood her sister's feelings she could not let Mo Xifeng hurt Long Ju. It would turn the entire bet that she had arranged in her favour to go down.
What was more Long Ju still had Xie Li in her hands. If that mer was harmed then Xie Jie would have her head, something that she was not willing to hand over.
Mo Xifeng was not willing to let off Long Ju so easily, however, she knew that her sister would not give up so easily. After all, this ocean was cleared up by her, and it wasn't easy for Mo Qiang. She almost lost her life many times and barely sustained it after getting injured many times severely. If not for the fact that Mo Qiang had a strong will to survive, she would have died ages ago without this ocean being cleared.
Yet she somehow pushed herself to continue working. It was impossible for Mo Qiang to give up on the ocean so easily. If Long Ju thought that she could get her hands on the ocean just because she wanted to then she might have to think it through again.
After Mo Xifeng thought it through, she calmed down and then released her summon causing her arm that had morphed into a gun to revert into her arm.
Though Long Ju acted as if she was not afraid, inwardly she was really scared that Mo Xifeng would attack her. Even though she was an A-grade mecha morph, there was no way she would be able to take Mo Xifeng on. The difference in their strengths was simply too big. It was like asking a mortal to take on an immortal. She could not do it!
If Mo Xifeng had tried to attack her just now, then she would have lost her life. Fortunately, Mo Xifeng listened to Mo Qiang, Long Ju heaved a sigh of relief but no sooner did she take a sigh of relief, than her brows furrowed in a frown.
Mo Xifeng listened to Mo Qiang? Since when did Mo Xifeng start listening to Mo Qiang? Long Ju could not help but wonder.
