Chapter 4317: 5.0069 A Sweet Smile

The wood spiritual power obediently floated into Qiaomu's fingertips.

Qingxuexue watched, somewhat stunned. It was her first time seeing someone control wood spiritual power so purely.

To be able to extract another's nine-layered wood spiritual power so quickly.

It was as if all the wood spiritual power in heaven and earth could be used by her.

Watching that tiny speck of wood spiritual power floating between her jade-like fingers, it seemed like a dancing sprite in the night.

Qinghongse was also stunned, then she angrily jumped up, pointing at Qingxuexue and shouting, "Don't think that just because you spoke up for me, I'll be grateful!"

"Third Sister, Qingcheng Island has completely sunk."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qinghongse glared back furiously, then her eyes widened in shock. She frantically rushed to the second deck, staring out into the distance in dismay.

"Our home has completely sunk to the bottom of the sea."

Qiaomu turned around, her tired eyes narrowing slightly, and saw her exceptionally handsome husband standing in the shadow of the mast, holding a small bowl. He stood tall and elegant, his phoenix eyes gleaming as he gave her a faint smile.

In that instant, it was as if all the fatigue and discomfort had vanished. The little poker face quickly scurried towards him.

"You've been fighting for ages, and only had a bowl of tofu pudding midway. I bet you're hungry."

"Drink your congee and go rest. Leave the rest to your husband, alright?"

Qiaomu reached out, took the bowl, stirred the warm corn congee with a spoon, and looked up at him, her eyes curving into a smile.

"Oh dear, you two are slacking off here again," Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable floated over and appeared beside them.

He reached out a hand, trying to grab the small bowl from Qiaomu's hand. "Let this Venerable one see what it is."

Mo Lian expressionlessly extended an arm, blocking the unruly claw. "It's for my wife, not for you."

"Qiaoqiao!" Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable looked pitifully at the little girl, blinking at her with a wronged expression.

Mo Lian didn't give him a chance to fool around further; he simply grabbed his hand and dragged him away. "Get to work."

"My life is so bitter! Qiaoqiao, Crown Prince is enslaving me!" Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable wailed as he was dragged three steps away.

Qiaomu had just taken a mouthful of corn congee. Seeing that guy's wronged look as he glanced back, she couldn't help but let out a little chuckle.

Mo Lian quickly turned around, seeing the little poker face standing in the dark night, with a bit of moonlight illuminating her clear, water-like apricot eyes.

She was smiling sweetly, her eyes curved and soft, as if countless starlight twinkled within them, a beauty that could rival creation itself.

The Crown Prince was captivated, and unconsciously, the hand he was holding Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable with loosened.

Feng Chen's eyebrows subtly twitched, and he let out a light laugh. Seizing the opportunity, he punched Crown Prince Mo on the head, laughing heartily as he pulled him away. "Still not working?"

Mo Lian snapped back to his senses, rubbing his head with one hand, and couldn't help but kick him. "Sneaking an attack when someone's off guard is not what a true hero does."

"Qiaoqiao, Mo Lian kicked me!"

"Can't you do anything but complain?"

"No!"

"Can you two stop fighting? Can you please set up the defensive barrier first?" Mi Yan Holy Son said helplessly.

"Although it seems calm here with no movement, who knows what dangers lurk beneath the sea," Mi Yan Holy Son continued to persuade them. "First, set up the defensive barrier, then you can go fight elsewhere."

The ship was filled with flickering light and shadow. Everyone looked up simultaneously, seeing a transparent, watery defensive barrier slowly, slowly enveloping the ship's hull, gently settling down.
