2275 Keeping Watch

Mo Lian couldn’t resist laughing out loud as he hugged his wifey. He whispered into her ear, “No worries, Hubby will help you bathe when we get back!”

Qiao Mu eyed this fellow who never had the guts to carry out his impure thoughts. She raised her chin pridefully, “Go on then! You’re a puppy if you don’t.”

Mo Lian: …

The little fellow was getting more mischievous, teasing him at the drop of a hat. He nearly couldn’t take it anymore.

“When I finish forging your Inky, we’ll immediately head back to the Divine Province.” Mo Lian caressed the little fellow’s head helplessly. “Second Aunt-Master will probably have finished her shopping spree in half a month, right?”

Qiao Mu wanted to laugh, but she deadpanned, “Mhm! Why don’t you just go to Fish Orchid Planet to forge it. Find a secluded area to avoid bothering my senior sisters from cultivating.”

Mo Lian gave a start and then laughed. “That’s right! That way, I don’t need to rush so much. I can even thoroughly examine if I can first improve the quality of this heavenly fire mithril.”

“Perhaps I can first forge it in a level-eight fire spirit before embedding it.”

The gap in one level created a world of difference. The little fellow’s eyes lit up. “Okay, You go forge it while I return to the Shuntian Prefecture. We’ll work separately.”

Mo Lian hummed in agreement. “Don’t forget to tell Dunzhu.”

After they finished making a clean sweep of Jiang Hong’s compound, the sky had almost brightened by the time they returned to their own residence.

Qiao Mu sent Zou Huan, Qi Hua, and the others off to rest for four hours.

After she settled them down, there was pounding on the door.

She opened the door for a peep and saw Dunzhu leaning against the door. He wiped his sweat and panted, “What is so urgent that you have to call me nonstop through a jade messenger talisman from hundreds of kilometers away!”

He chattered mindlessly as he walked into the court. “Do you have tea? I’m nearly dying of thirst!”

Qiao Mu raised her petite fist and motioned it at the back of his head.

For some reason, she just wanted to beat up Dunzhu whenever she saw the face of “Geng Pengcheng” on him.

Mo Lian grasped her petite hand with a chuckle and looked back at Guan Zhaotang, who had nervously come inside.

The moment he glanced outside the door, he instantly saw a black figure flit away from a corner.

Mo Lian hostilely retracted his gaze and snickered.

Qiao Mu kicked the door shut with her foot. She pulled her hubby along to the stone table where Dunzhu was sitting.

“In the future, you will be in charge of Guan Zhaotang.” Qiao Mu watched as Dunzhu grabbed the water kettle and drank several cups in a row. She couldn’t help but glare. “You hear that?”

“I did, I heard it, my young great aunt.” Dunzhu nodded repeatedly and giggled. “Little Master, then do I have to stay here for a while to organize Anyi Prefecture’s affairs?”

“Of course.” Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. “We will return to Shuntian Prefecture in the afternoon. We’ll set out for Divine Province once we pick up Xiao Huanghe.”

“Ah, so quick!” Dunzhu asked bitterly, “Little Master, you’re planning to be a hands-off leader?”

Qiao Mu harrumphed and smacked Dunzhu’s shoulders. She turned around and called for Mo Lian. “Hubby!”

Mo Lian couldn’t help but chortle.

He knew that the little fellow had run out of patience to chit-chat with Dunzhu, so he beckoned to Dunzhu. “Come over so that I can tell you some things.”

“Keep this storage talisman safe.” Mo Lian handed him a blue talisman. “In the future, you’ll stay here and look after the affairs of the Six Prefectures.”

“You, you all are leaving.”
