Chapter 248: Reunion Dinner

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As expected, both of Qiao Mu’s parents greatly enjoyed tonight’s dinner. Second Uncle Qiao even told Qiao Mu to bring out three jugs of bamboo leaf brew and shared a dozen drinks with Mo Lian.
When Second Uncle Qiao saw the youth drink each cup so valiantly, the thought to compete his drinking ability against the youth’s popped up in his mind.
In the end, Second Uncle drunk to unconsciousness!
Qiao Mu exasperatedly pursed her lips. ‘Second Uncle, don’t casually compete with people if your alcohol tolerance isn’t good! Look at how only the second jug is unsealed and you’re already dead to the world! Meanwhile, that guy doesn’t look the slightest bit different.’
As the hour turned late, Qiao Mu’s parents passionately invited the youth to stay the night!
Inside her mind, Qiao Mu felt like there was something wrong with this picture, but she couldn’t pinpoint the exact odd spot.
She wrecked her mind studying Mo Lian’s words when a flash of realization occurred, and she finally detected the strange part.
What did a noble crown prince like him who had nothing to do with her ordinary Qiao Family have to unite about with her Qiao Family? He was even having a reunion dinner with her parents for no reason!
Our darling Qiao Mu covertly glared at the crown prince, and it was like the crown prince sensed it and happened to turn around, sending her a smile. His smile was akin to a sky of brilliant, glittering stars, making his face truly blinding!
‘How annoying!’
Every time they had dinner with the crown prince, it was like Qiao Mu was adopted off the streets, and her parents’ attention were not on her, their actual daughter, at all!
Second Uncle Qiao hugged the opened jug with half its bottle remaining and dazedly murmured, “Bamboo leaf brew, bamboo leaf brew…”
Wei Ziqin was incredibly amused and hurriedly told Mother Xu to help Second Uncle back to his room to rest.
Qiao Mu thought about it and took out six peaches and two leaves from her storage talisman and placed them on the table.
The peach tree in the paradise bore fruit very slowly. A long time had passed, but she was only able to pick off six fruits. She had been storing them inside a storage talisman.
“Fruit for after dinner. One for each person. Eat!”
“Peach!!!” the little foodie instantly leaped out of her seat and shot to Qiao Mu, reaching out to take a peach.
“Wow, this peach is quite good looking!” Qiao Zhongbang commented with a chuckle.
“Dad, eat a leaf first and then eat this peach.” Qiao Mu handed the leaf and peach to her dad before telling her mom, “You too, Mom.”
“I’ve thought about it. Dad, your mystic meridians are damaged and caused all of your mystic energy to flow out, but it doesn’t mean you can’t sense mystic energy from now on.” Qiao Mu seriously looked at her dad and said, “This leaf can allow normal people to sense mystic energy, so perhaps it can help you to reconstruct your mystic meridians. As for Mom, she theoretically can’t trigger her mystic meridians, but there’s no harm in eating this leaf. It can at least strengthen her body.”
Qiao Zhongbang and Wei Ziqin both looked at their daughter, dumbstruck.
Qiao Zhongbang, especially, looked like his daughter had told him a folktale and couldn’t help but stutter when he started speaking. “D-daughter, y-you are s-saying this leaf c-can help D-dad feel m-mystic energy again?”
“It should! Dad, try it out! If it’s useful, then eat this peach.” The energy contained in this peach was very rich. Although it wasn’t a large quantity, it should probably be enough for her father to advance a level.
This tiny, tiny leaf could hold a candle to the meridian-nursing pill! Qiao Zhongbang did not say anything else and directly consumed the leaf.
Wei Ziqin also ate her leaf.
Soon, Qiao Zhongbang looked at his daughter in overjoyed surprise. “Q-qiaoqiao, Dad feels it! Dad feels his mystic energy recovering and his mystic meridians awakening! T-this leaf really seems to be able to reconstruct my mystic meridians.”
Qiao Mu nodded. “Dad, your situation is basically the same as triggering your mystic meridians a second time and completely reconstructing your mystic meridians.”
