2251 Life's But a Stage

"According to plan, Dunzhu should be getting here today." Mo Lian and Qiao Mu strolled leisurely along the street while holding hands.

It really was quite cold outside. Because it had snowed lightly, the tips of the tree branches still had traces of white.

Mo Lian bent over to straighten the fire sable fur collar for her. He bundled her cloak more tightly around her.

"I'm not cold at all." Qiao Mu raised her head and told him.

However, it couldn't be helped that Crown Prince Mo thought that she was cold. He even used a dim fire spirit to warm her up while holding her petite hand.

Even though the winter wind was cold, the little fellow was feeling hot as they walked. She even wanted to take off her cloak.

"It's cold." Mo Lian drew her collar together again. He reached out to carry her. "I had better carry you. It's very cold!"

Qiao Mu evaded his hug with a reddened face and gave him a glare.

Cold my *ss!

Would she feel cold at her cultivation level? You've got to be joking!

Mo Lian blinked. He did not feel that he was taking liberties with his wifey at all.

He gave her an aggrieved look when she refused to let him carry her. He held her petite hand and said, "I'm afraid that you'll be cold."

"I'm not cold!" Qiao Mu cast him an indignant look.

She was already wrapped up in a thick fire sable fur cloak. How could she be cold!

Frankly speaking, even if she was merely wearing a thin spring garment, it was impossible for her to be cold at her cultivation level!

Crown Prince Mo pulled back his hand dejectedly with an "oh." He stole a glance at his wifey. "Qiaoqiao, what has Second Aunt-Master been busy with these two days?"

"Second Aunt-Master is preparing supplies for the Divine Province."

Mo Lian: …

What is there to prepare!?

"After we finish taking care of the matters here in the Anyi Prefecture, we still need to return to the Shuntian Prefecture to pick up Xiao Huanghe." Qiao Mu lowered her head and mused.

Mo Lian did not comment.

There was no problem for Qiaoqiao to bring all her friends and family to the Divine Province. The problem was… what was there for Second Aunt-Master to prepare.

Everyone had inner worlds. There was nothing that the Divine Province did not have that they needed to replenish here.

"Second Aunt-Master heard that the prices in the Divine Province were particularly high. That's why she was thinking of buying any necessities here in Anyi Prefecture if possible."

Crown Prince Mo was confused: Were the prices in the Divine Province very high?

He didn't think so!

"Qiaoqiao, tell Aunt-Master that she doesn't need to worry. I'll guarantee that she will not want for anything in the Divine Province. There is nothing for her to think over."

Qiao Mu looked at him. "Since Aunt-Master wants to prepare more, just let her."

Mo Lian nodded helplessly.

Just as they were chatting, shrieks could be heard from the front of the street.

"My Heavens, this ghost spirit is truly ferocious! How dare it appear in broad daylight!"

"This Daoist priest, watch out!"

Qiao Mu and Mo Lian looked at each other before hurrying over.

They made their way through the crowd and took a look.

They saw a familiar Daoist priest darting here and there, up and down. He was wielding a peach-wood sword and acted like he was in a desperate battle with a ghost.

At first glance, his flushed red face looked more like he was constipated…

Qiao Mu silently twitched her lips.

She recognized this guy at once as the swindler Daoist priest she had seen in Qiaotou Village.

He really had put his life on the line, journeying everywhere and kicking up a fuss all the way here in the Anyi Prefecture.

Qiao Mu looked at this Daoist priest with a loss for words. She did not know how to respond to his embarrassing acting.

It truly was a small world…

She had run into this crackpot Daoist priest again!
