Chapter 3934 4.1534 Returning to the Peak of Life!

Then she covered her lips with her hand, swayed her body charmingly, and chuckled softly, "But it doesn't matter, Family Head Mu, you still have quite a future, I'm optimistic about you!"

With that, the small bottle filled with the shimmering green liquid was flicked to the ground.

Mu Jingfeng scrambled and rolled like a stray dog, frantically reaching out a hand and firmly grasping the falling bottle.

His gaze, filled with hope, fixed on the bottle.

A voice deep inside him kept saying: Drink it, drink it, drink it and you can restore your former strength.

Drink it and take revenge for all the grievances, all those who owed you and trampled on you in the past—you can deal with them all.

He trembled as he pulled out the stopper, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

He was going to return to the peak of his life!

Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao returned to the East Palace at noon and was lying by the window, waiting for Mo Lian to return.

If there was nothing else to do after lunch, she could go home and visit.

However, she had only been training in the Phoenix Wood Forest for less than half a month, so there probably weren't any major issues at home.

Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao rolled on the soft couch, and upon looking up, she saw the Crown Prince enter, his handsome brows furrowed.

The little one immediately sprang off the brocade couch, scampering to her husband's side and reaching out to hug him.

Mo Lian was momentarily startled, then instinctively reached out and caught her. A faint smile appeared on his expressionless face as he lowered his head and kissed her cheek. "Why are you back so early? I thought the Mu family matter would take you until evening."

"I handle things effortlessly," the little one boasted, tilting her small head. "But you, why the worried look? Did your father give you another difficult task?"

Mo Lian smiled as he looked at her, then shook his head, pulling her down to sit beside him on the couch. "I received news that a large number of corpse puppets appeared outside Li City, attacking and occupying a village outside the city."

"Are you going?" Qiao Mu blinked, her large eyes watery as she gazed at the man before her.

"Not for now. The situation should be controllable. Fu San and his group have returned from Gray Flat Village, so this matter will be handled by him."

"You said before that you subdued a pharmacist in Gray Flat Village," the little one said, leaning into his arms with interest. "It was that pair of corpse puppet and pharmacist siblings."

"Mm," Mo Lian nodded. "I've settled the siblings in Northview Valley, placing them with Mr. Su for temporary research. Why?"

Qiao Mu blinked. "Today, I brought back an old woman from the Mu family who was scratched. I took it upon myself to find a senior pharmacist in the city to treat her. It indeed had the effect you mentioned."

"Mm."

Qiao Mu frowned, then mused, "It seems the potency of a senior pharmacist's medicine can indeed suppress corpse poison."

"But only for a few days."

"But this is still a significant discovery, isn't it?" Qiao Mu rubbed his face. "Lian, are you worried about that village outside Li City? Do you think corpse puppets might break out on a large scale in various places?"

Mo Lian didn't hide it from her, nodding. "Highly possible. I estimate outbreaks in Cang Prefecture and Ming Prefecture as well."

"However, I haven't received any messages from Duan Yue these past two days."

"Oh," the little one frowned, a bit displeased. "He's really unreliable. He said he'd send us a message once he returned to Cang Prefecture."

Mo Lian couldn't help but chuckle, rubbing her little head. "He probably has a lot of annoying things to deal with as soon as he gets back."
