Chapter 170: Yu Batian’s Death (2)_1
"She’s gone to rest," Mo Chi said.
"But I heard grandpa saying bad things about me," Dugu Qianye’s voice suddenly rang out, followed by her appearance in the room.
Mo Zhenting glanced at Dugu Qianye, relieved to see she was unharmed. Looking back on the earlier scene, he was genuinely afraid that he might have hurt her consciousness.
"Hmph, what a fine young lady, turning yourself into a boy, how preposterous!" Mo Zhenting scolded as he looked at Dugu Qianye, dressed in men’s clothes.
Hearing Mo Zhenting’s reprimand, the Mo brothers quickly tried to make themselves less noticeable. Truth be told, they were all quite afraid of Mo Zhenting losing his temper. Even though they were now Phantom Venerables, that fear was deeply ingrained in their bones, so no one dared to speak up for her; they only gave her a look that said, ’You’re on your own.’
"What’s wrong with dressing as a man? With my natural beauty, what if I get targeted and kidnapped by some pervert?" Dugu Qianye gave the Mo brothers a disdainful look and said to Mo Zhenting, "Look at Aunt Chen, it’s precisely because she was so beautiful that she caught the attention of that scumbag Niu Yuan, so I’m just protecting myself!"
Mo Zhenting was rendered speechless by Dugu Qianye’s words. He had just heard about the incident with Sang Yu and her daughter, which was indeed caused by beauty, but listening to Dugu Qianye praise herself, he couldn’t help but retort, "Shameless."
Dugu Qianye, on the other hand, proudly lifted her chin and said, "Can’t help it, who made my parents produce such a beauty!"
Dugu Qianye’s words made everyone almost laugh. But it was true, Mo Qiushui was once hailed as the number one beauty in Mors, and Dugu Yixuan was said to be extraordinarily handsome. But now...
"It’s a pity we still haven’t found little sister; otherwise, our family could be considered reunited," Mo Third Brother said.
