Qiao Mu’s expression was stoic as she stated icily, “You did, you talked about the punishment area just now.”
Qiuqiu, who had run his mouth off, peeked guiltily at Mo Lian, who had on an unsightly expression. He busily shovelled meat and mushrooms into his mouth. “N-No I didn’t. Qiuqiu did not say anything at all.”
“You guys couldn’t be hiding something from me right!” Qiao Mu keenly sensed that something was fishy.
Mo Lian quickly pulled her to his side as he placated her with a smile. “There’s no problem, Qiaoqiao. Don’t listen to the little tree’s nonsense. What could he know. He just blabs his mouth off all day, so ignore him.”
.
The sapling harrumphed with a frown set into his trunk. Then, he exclaimed while flailing his branches, “Masta, I had better pull the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal inside. He’s still searching through your bedchamber’s drawers and cabinets for you!”
Qiao Mu: …
Several moments later, a certain venerable immortal’s eyes brightened when he discovered himself in a land of dancing peach blossoms.
He peered around and saw the little lady and her party sitting in a circle underneath the peach trees not far away and having a cook-out.
“Wow, little fellow, your mystic domain couldn’t have been created especially for me right! Look at how beautiful these dancing peach blossoms are. This is absolutely the most suitable place for me to stay.”
Qiao Mu was speechless. “You don’t have to return?”
“I do! But it will also be alright if I draw out my stay here at your place for a few more days.” The Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal turned to glance at Qiao Mu with a pitiful look. “You don’t know that in our place, everyone just cultivates and cultivates all day long. There is no delicious food nor good wine, not the least bit of pleasure at all! Since it’s not easy for me to make a trip back, I must eat and drink to my heart’s content before leaving.”
Qiao Mu: ! In other words, you, this foodie, are brazenly provoking Heavenly Law just for food and wine!
“There won’t be any problem at all?”
“There will, there is a problem. It’ll be dreadful if Heavenly Law finds out. A light punishment might be getting struck by lightning, while a heavy one might mean getting thrown into… mfhm, mfhmfph!” Before the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal could finish his sentence, the sapling Qiuqiu had already pounced over and covered his mouth with his branches.
“What are you doing!” The venerable immortal brusquely yanked off the little treant that had lunged at his face. After giving a harrumph, he turned around with a smile and sniffed several times. “What are you eating! Give me a pair of chopsticks here! Hurry up.”
“Adding another person makes eating together more lively!” After the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal forced his way into this small circle, this turned into a gathering of three humans and several beasts. They even took out several bottles of wine, planning to take a small sip.
However, Qiao Mu kept feeling that something had sunken to the pit of her stomach. When she occasionally looked up, Mo Lian would smile at her guilelessly, and this would make her swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Sigh, forget it. Since they didn’t wanted to talk about it at the moment, then she wouldn’t ask!
After Qiao Mu finished the rice in her bowl and wanted to ladle some soup, she discovered…
“Eh? The soup! There’s no more soup!”
This pot of stew could feed at least seven to eight people, yet it was cleared off just like that. Everyone had quite the good appetite!
The next day.
Mo Lian accompanied Qiao Mu back to the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate.
Aware that the crown prince consort would be returning today, the main door of the marquis’s estate had been open since early in the morning.
Qiao Zhongbang and the family were all raising their heads expectantly in wait.
When they heard the servants come report that the crown prince consort’s royal carriage had already entered Minshun Boulevard, Qiao Zhongbang, Second Uncle Qiao, and the whole family swarmed toward the main entrance, gazing out the door excitedly.
Soon, they saw a golden couple appear at the main entrance while hand in hand.
