Soul Spirits Within Reach, Shrek Earns Everyone's Confidence

"Ah!?"

Nan Qiuqiu's face was filled with undisguised shock, her gaze utterly blank.

"Mom, you're just selling me off like this?"

Nan Shuishui choked for a moment, then could not help rolling her eyes. "Silly girl, what do you mean, selling you off? You're not some commodity."

"A deal is a deal, but that's separate from this. Didn't you want to join the Spirit Pagoda before? Now that you're actually being allowed to go, you're unwilling?"

"But..."

Nan Qiuqiu hesitated before finally mumbling, "You don't have to rush me out this quickly, do you? You're heading home tomorrow, and you're having me go straight to the Spirit Pagoda. Isn't that a little hasty?"

Honestly, when her mother had initially agreed to let her join the Spirit Pagoda, Nan Qiuqiu had felt greatly relieved and absolutely delighted.

Then her mother dropped a bombshell.

She wanted Nan Qiuqiu to report to Huo Yuhao tomorrow.

So I'm leaving already?

Wasn't this moving way too fast!?

They were still competing. What was she supposed to do by running over there?

Anyone else would have found that hard to accept too.

It was like having more than half of one's vacation left, only to suddenly learn that Mom had signed them up for tutoring classes and they had to report tomorrow. Wouldn't that make someone bolt upright from their sickbed?

In short, it was hard to accept.

Pouting, Nan Qiuqiu directly hugged her mother's arm and began acting coquettishly, curiously asking about the details of the deal.

If she had not known her mother's character, she might have suspected that her mother had secretly reached some unspeakable agreement with Huo Yuhao.

Otherwise, this shift in attitude was just too strange, wasn't it?

Or had Yuhao gotten hold of some private weakness of the Earth Dragon
