Chapter 4277: 5.0029 A Smile That Allures

There was a long line of ships waiting to enter the harbor, and Long Hui's group was behind a large fleet.

Given the situation, there was no way they could enter the harbor in less than half an hour.

About fifteen minutes later, Long Hui turned to look at Mu Xingchen. "Is Cousin still resting? It's about time; let's wake her up."

These past few days, Long Hui had learned of the little girl's routine: after lunch, she would promptly go to sleep...

She would drag her feet for several hours, only willing to leave the cabin and see people in the evening.

Little did Long Hui know that after every lunch, the little girl would take her husband back to play in the Peach Garden Star.

Who would enjoy constant rocking on this ship day and night? It was naturally much more comfortable to rest, refine talismans, and make pills in the Star Domain.

Mu Xingchen glanced at Long Hui and said indifferently, "Don't worry, Qiao Qiao will come out on her own in a bit."

Long Xiangyun snorted, "Some people always dawdle until evening to come out. We're almost at the harbor, and no one's going to wait here..."

Long Xiangyun's "she" hadn't even left her lips when her voice gradually trailed off. Her gaze involuntarily fell upon the railing on the second floor.

A slender, graceful figure in moon-white robes slowly appeared by the railing. Her soft hair was tied into a loose bun, falling casually to her waist.

With clear, cold eyes and a gaze like snow, the little girl stood there in a loose-sleeved white robe, aloof and pristine, as if in all the world, only this patch of white captivated the eye.

Long Hui stared, dazed, until Long Xiangyun forcefully tugged his sleeve, bringing him back to his senses.

The figure of Qiao Mu was already gone from the second-floor railing.

Not long after, Long Hui noticed Crown Prince Mo holding her hand as they walked down together, heading straight to the deck.

"The people of the Allure Queendom are quite... erm, straightforward," Long Hui chose his words carefully, glancing at Feng Changqing and the others. "The black cloths I gave you earlier, put them on."

Qiao Mu said indifferently, "No need."

It's not like they're unpresentable; wearing masks? What was he thinking?

Long Hui: ...

Why won't this person listen to advice?

"Cousin, I'm thinking for your sake," Long Hui coughed lightly, saying seriously, "If you take them off the ship, I tell you, I don't think you'll even make it out of this pier!"

It's not that I'm trying to trick or scare you, Cousin!

Long Hui looked at the little stoic with a serious expression, earnestly persuading her, "How about you put them all into a storage talisman?"

Feng Changqing: !!

Are we really being looked down upon that much?

The little stoic glanced at him. "Why don't you cover yourself?"

Long Hui quickly pulled a piece of black cloth from under his collar, covering his face from his nose to his mouth.

Mu Xingchen twitched his lips, speechless.

The little stoic looked at him, her lips subtly curving upward into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

Long Hui looked exactly like an idiot!

Long Hui, however, was stunned, and a surge of emotion rose within him.

He had traveled with this cousin for so many days, and he hadn't seen her smile once from beginning to end.

Most of the time, she either gave him a cold stare or remained expressionless.

This faint smile today was simply incredible. For some reason, it made it impossible to look away.

It felt as if the sun, moon, and stars had all bloomed simultaneously, and just now, the surrounding landscape seemed to have strangely brightened.

Suddenly, Mo Lian's expressionless handsome face appeared in his line of sight, blocking the little girl's slender figure.

"Are the customs clearances ready?"
