2339 Her Lian
Qiao Mu was startled. She looked up at him. "You made it?"
"Mhm!" Mo Lian nodded while smiling. "Qiaoqiao gave me a pot of flowers, so I of course have to give you a return gift."
Qiao Mu pursed her lips. She silently reached out and took that engraved tin from his hands and expressionlessly stuffed it into her own waist purse.
Mo Lian chuckled and picked up the little fellow all of a sudden. "Qiaoqiao, are you happy?"
"I'm alright." Qiao Mu nodded and responded with an animated look.
Mo Lian laughed heartily as he ran deep into the forest with the little fellow in his arms.
"We'll set up camp here tonight."
What he didn't say was that after his little emperor darling's huge commotion just now, it was certain that no spiritual beast nor mystic beast would be so blind as to enter their camp and seek their deaths after it got dark.
"Phew…" Zou Huan and them all heaved a sigh of relief. It was only now that they recovered her wits.
When Her Ladyship lost her temper just now, they felt like a heavy pressure was weighing down on their hearts, causing everyone to shut up without uttering a sound.
It wasn't until now that they could feel the vitality of flowers blooming in the spring…
That serpent that appeared all of a sudden just now was so awe-inspiring. They had simply never seen nor heard of such a creature before.
It wasn't until now that they realized that they had previously only caught a glimpse of one-thousandth of Her Ladyship's actual ability!

Mu Rouyi had finally recollected herself and walked up to her brother, Mu Xingchen, who was in a trance. She coughed lightly and called out, "Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother?"
Mu Xingchen abruptly turned around and told her, "Rouyi, you continue to find those ores in the Eight Barren Mountains with them. I first have to make a trip home."
"Ah? Eldest Brother, y-you!" Mu Rouyi opened her mouth and was about to ask her eldest brother what he was going back to do, yet Mu Xingchen had already summoned his flying beast Cangxue—a six-winged blood lion divine beast—and speedily took to the sky.
"Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother!!" Mu Rouyi looked up at the sky in shock. After a while her expression caved in.
Everything her brother did today truly did not follow conventional reasoning and morals!
She looked up at that deep rift that had transformed the landscape. She heaved a long sigh and turned around, decisively leaving with the Kuangzhan Mercenary Group and the other people from the Mu Clan.
If that girl really wanted to, none of them would leave this place alive.

It was a quiet night.
When it was in the middle of the night, Qiao Mu hid inside Paradise Planet and drew many talismans. After cultivating for a while, she returned to her tent refreshed.
By this time, the sky was slowly brightening.
The familiar scent of congee wafted into her tent and lingered around her nose.
Qiao Mu lifted the curtain and saw that person who was wearing light-colored clothes standing in the light of dawn. He seemed to have sensed her gaze and turned around. A faint tenderness passed through his eyes as he beckoned to her.
Her Lian!
Qiao Mu's eyes lit up, and she darted forth like a butterfly. She fluttered into his arms at once.
Her petite face nuzzled against his chest, and she abruptly looked up at him with sparkling eyes. "I haven't washed my face yet! Stinky!"
Mo Lian almost broke out in laughter. He bent down and kissed her cheek. "It can't be helped that you're my wife. I can disdain anyone but you."
Qiao Mu cracked a smile, and she hung from his neck for a bit longer. "I'll rub my stinkiness off onto you too then."
"Pfft…"
