Chapter 4399: 5.0151 A Blessing in Disguise
Mo Lian couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out to catch his bounding wife, rubbing his chin on her soft head.
"Qiaoqiao, how do you feel?"
Qiao Mu tilted her small head up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. "Not bad."
This advancement was surprisingly smooth. In less than a day, her cultivation had leaped by a significant amount.
Qiao Mu subconsciously raised a hand to touch her lower abdomen.
This time, her Divine Void Realm had strengthened and expanded considerably. When she had looked inward just now, she could clearly see the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl hiding within the Divine Void Realm, seemingly afraid to show itself to her.
This Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl was highly sentient. It seemed to realize that when its seal had burst open last time, causing her injury, its behavior was quite undesirable.
Therefore, it was remarkably understanding. To make amends for its past mistake, it had done its utmost to assist her advancement this time.
She had gone from the entry-level of a second-level Divine Master straight to the peak of a fifth-level Divine Master, skipping so many small thresholds that she couldn't count them on both hands.
Such an exhilarating advancement was a rarity, perhaps fewer than five individuals on the entire Three Continents.
After ordinary people stepped onto the Divine Realm path, many would struggle for ten or even twenty years, just to advance one small step.
To advance three major realms in one go, like her... it was truly beyond words.
Her Soul-Splitting Cultivation Method had broken through to the tenth level, generating a tenth sub-meridian in her spiritual meridians.
The phenomenon of the Mermaid Pearl's seal breaking, causing meridian tremors and uncontrolled divine power, had now disappeared.
Between the ten sub-meridians and the main meridian, divine power flowed endlessly, mutually circulating, giving rise to a feeling of rivers converging into a sea.
Mo Lian saw her eyes shining, full of vigor, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
He loved seeing her bright as light, full of spirit.
He reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Crown Prince Mo gently raised a hand and softly caressed her cheek. "Qiaoqiao, you really scared me this time."
Qiao Mu looked at him apologetically, raising a hand to pat his chest. "Don't be afraid. Haven't I turned a misfortune into a blessing and come out safe and sound?"
"A blessing in disguise," Mo Lian murmured, pinching her small chin. "This 'blessing in disguise' of yours truly scared people to death."
Qiao Mu tilted her small head, snuggling into his embrace, then snuggling again. Her arms wrapped around his waist, and she hugged him tightly.
Blatant... teasing.
"Don't be naughty," Crown Prince Mo said with a wry smile, reaching out to steady her body. He lowered his head and nipped her lip. "Your husband will resist!"
The little stoic gave him a "come at me" look, even tilting her head, her expression very serious and taut.
It was so vivid, like a kitten using its tiny paws to fiercely scratch his heart, just for a moment.
Mo Lian gripped her waist, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth. "Heh, you're asking for it. Don't beg for mercy later..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a knocking sound came from the door.
The little stoic suddenly chuckled at him, reaching out to push away her pitiful, wooden, dazed husband. She turned and ran to open the door, repeatedly saying, "What's all that knocking? Coming."
"Greetings, Crown Princess." A dark guard stood at the door, bowing respectfully.
He suddenly felt two knife-like gazes directed at him.
The dark guard inexplicably glanced over, immediately stood straight as a statue, and stammered, "G-greetings, Crown Prince."
Huh? Why is His Highness looking at me with such murderous eyes? I, I didn't do anything out of line!
"What is it?" The little stoic asked.
The dark guard continued to stammer, "News has come from the Night Pavilion."
