Chapter 3595: Wife?

His entire focus was fixed on the translucent green paste. More precisely, his gaze was fixed on what was inside that paste.

He saw a small, transparent figure with long, dark hair walking around inside the transparent water mass. Mo Lian's eyes were fixed on the small figure. He stared for a long while before slowly raising it to examine it closely.

A tremendous wave crashed in his heart, a shocking realization that stirred him to his core. This... this wasn't his Qiaoqiao?

The sphere's branch, which had been thrashing in his hand, also quieted down, slowly crawling out of Mo Lian's palm, seemingly very curious, circling the shimmering green paste.

This wouldn't be Sacred Wood Essence, would it? Mo Lian wondered. Logically, this little green humanoid was merely a fragment of the Sacred Wood that had just gained intelligence. How could it have captured Qiaoqiao's half-strand of soul-thought and then instinctively protected it? Could this be an inexplicable connection?

But... how did this small tree fragment find Qiaoqiao's soul-thought?

None of the above was the main point. What shocked Mo Lian the most was that his Qiaoqiao actually had a fragment of her soul-thought separated and wandering outside? He had never heard the little one mention it before!

His gaze fell upon Lady Qiaoqiao, enveloped by the Sacred Wood Essence. The small figure was currently walking back and forth ceaselessly within the spherical body encased by the essence, not stopping for a moment. She walked back and forth, back and forth, making Mo Lian almost chuckle. He extended a finger and poked the paste.

The Sacred Wood Essence emitted a layer of light, instantly repelling his finger. He truly hadn't expected to fall through an array plate, wander around the mountain cliffs, and casually pick up a wife.

Mo Lian, not giving up, poked the paste again. The Sacred Wood Essence still repelled him. This time, however, the small figure inside the sphere turned around, walked a few steps towards him, then expressionlessly turned its back again and continued walking.

With her tiny nose, eyes, hands, and feet, she was a complete miniature version of Qiaoqiao, quite amusing to look at.

Crown Prince Mo stared at his little wife for a long time until the sphere's branch rubbed against his arm wildly a few times. Only then did he snap back to attention, tucking the branch back into his sleeve. With a raised hand, he collected the messy, tangled mass of vines into a storage talisman, then patted the little green humanoid's head.

"You stay quietly in the storage talisman for now. Later, I'll let you see your true master." With that, he put the little green humanoid away as well.

Lowering his head, he gazed at the Sacred Wood Essence cradled in his hand. Mo Lian's lips curved slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. Regardless, this trip had been quite fruitful. Instead of overthinking things here, it was better to hurry back and ask his wife clearly about this soul-thought. He gazed deeply at Lady Qiaoqiao's soul-thought, carefully storing the Sacred Wood Essence in his inner world. Then, he turned to look at the large pile of Sacred Stones on the ground, sweeping all of them into a storage talisman in one go.

When luck strikes, it truly can't be stopped!

However, he realized he had forgotten to ask the little green humanoid where all these Sacred Stones came from. Mo Lian thought for a moment and then released the little green humanoid from the storage talisman again.
