Chapter 4574: 5.0326 What Kind of Toxin?

Young Master Ding appeared perfectly healthy, yet his whole body trembled as if riddled with pain.

Could it be a mental toxin?

Even then, there should be some traces...

There were absolutely no problems visible in his pulse; she would have to check his blood later.

"Qiao Qiao," Duan Yue gently tugged her sleeve. "Look, we've been busy for most of the day. Let's go eat first."

At the mention of "eating," Qiao Mu's eyes indeed lit up, and she immediately put Young Master Ding's illness out of her mind. "You're right."

She enthusiastically said to Duan Yue, "Let's go eat first! Anything else can wait until after we've eaten."

Duan Yue smiled and nodded, secretly thinking: Indeed, as soon as food is mentioned, his Qiao will drop everything.

How wonderful...

"What are we eating today? How about sweet and sour fish?"

"Duan Yue, you and Qiao Qiao's Lian don't like spicy food, right?"

"Who said that? I am me, Lian is Lian. How could I be as weak as him, crying at a single bite of spice?"

Qiao Mu blinked. Did Lian cry? She didn't think so.

When he ate strong flavors, at most he would just frown, then simply avoid another bite.

Duan Yue snorted, "Don't look at him acting all otherworldly and ethereal; he's actually very annoying."

"He hates salty and spicy food the most, and doesn't even like sweet! Heh heh, he's incredibly picky! Doesn't like this, doesn't want that. Unlike me, I'm easy to feed anywhere; I'm not picky at all."

Qiao Mu quietly looked up at him.

Duan Yue's voice suddenly stopped. He looked in astonishment at the little one's retreating figure.

Was that just his imagination?

Why did it feel like Master Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes at him?

"My Qiao, what did you just do to me??" Duan Yue swayed, then chased after her. "Did you just roll your eyes at me?"

"You really know him well," Qiao Mu said faintly, continuing forward without looking back.

Normally, Master Qiao Qiao doesn't even bother to study what Qiao Qiao's Lian likes or dislikes, yet this Duan Yue fellow knows Qiao Qiao's Lian so well.

Duan Yue: ...

Qiao Qiao's small gaze is so strange, what should I do?

"Qiao Qiao, can you tell me what you were thinking when you were staring at me just now?" Why does that little expression of hers suddenly seem a bit mischievous?

"Nothing," Qiao Mu snorted, turning her head to glare at him, forcefully changing the subject. "I've been busy recently, so I haven't asked about your affairs."

"What affairs could I have?" Duan Yue looked at her innocently. "I'm perfectly fine. See, I'm quite leisurely, otherwise I wouldn't have come looking for you, right?"

Qiao Mu fell silent for a moment, hesitating whether to ask him about Noble Consort Duan.

If she spoke carelessly, she worried it might tear open Duan Yue's barely healed wound. Qiao Mu became increasingly hesitant.

Just then, hurried footsteps approached. A member of the Heaven's Will Slaying Battle Group saluted the two. "Crown Princess, Emperor of Cangzhou. The Young Master of the Wangchuan Long Clan has arrived with many people."

"Many of them are injured and are coming ashore. Our people have temporarily surrounded them. Would you two like to go take a look?"

Qiao Mu quickly nodded, exchanging a glance with Duan Yue.

"Let's go. Let's take a look," Duan Yue said hastily.

Long Hui of the Wangchuan Long Clan had finally arrived. She wondered what the situation was now...
