Chapter 4579: 5.0331 Brother-in-Law?!

Qiao Mu instructed Ball Ball to prepare a pot of fresh bamboo shoot and mushroom soup. She herself took out several dishes from a food container, including Hundred Treasure Duck and Sweet and Sour Fish.

"Time to eat!" Looking at the steaming dishes, she was eager to start and immediately sat down.

Mu Xingchen chuckled. The little one had set the dining table under a peach tree, and a fragrant breeze wafted by.

"Big Brother, you've been quite busy lately, eat more!" The little stoic enthusiastically added several chopsticks full of food to her brother's plate.

Mu Xingchen was deeply touched. His starry eyes gazed at his sister with a joyful expression, as if thinking, "My sister has grown up and knows how to care for people."

Duan Yue secretly snickered. He wasn't sure why, but knowing the little one as he did, her current gentleness surely meant there was a trick waiting for her brother.

"Big Brother, thank you and Changqing for helping with the Heaven's Will Slaying Battle Group training."

"When the Heaven's Will Slaying Battle Group officially enters the war, your contributions will be indispensable."

Mu Xingchen said with a smile, "Sister, these are all things we should do."

Feng Changqing nodded, "Fighting against Heaven's Will is everyone's responsibility; there's no talk of credit."

"Big Brother, are you very familiar with Sikong Fuling?"

"Still pretty..." Mu Xingchen paused, suddenly stopping his sentence.

Huh? Weren't they just talking about the Heaven's Will Slaying Battle Group? How did the topic suddenly veer off course?

The little stoic expressionlessly took a bite of rice. "Sikong Fuling is a person with deep thoughts; it's hard to guess what she's thinking. Big Brother, you're simple and easily fooled; don't let her manipulate you."

Mu Xingchen couldn't help but smile wryly.

His sister's tone, like a lecturing elder, was truly both amusing and exasperating.

"Sister, I'm not too familiar with Miss Sikong either. It's just that time, we all fell into the Land of Misfortune together, and we helped each other out. It... doesn't count as being very familiar."

Qiao Mu listened attentively, her small face clearly displaying the words "I'm a bit curious."

"Can you tell us about it, Big Brother?" Duan Yue truly understood her unspoken desires. Before Qiao Mu could speak, he smilingly interjected, "What is this Land of Misfortune?"

"Oh, that, it was before..." Mu Xingchen was completely unaware that a certain individual, Duan Yue, was extracting information from him. As soon as he started talking about his experience in the Land of Misfortune, his face immediately twisted into a bitter expression as he recounted the tale non-stop.

"...So that's how it is!" Duan Yue nodded with a smile. "In that case, Big Brother and that Miss Sikong truly discovered each other in times of trouble."

Mu Xingchen waved his hand. "It's not that exaggerated, it's just... Hey? Brother-in-law, why are you here!"

Mu Xingchen suddenly looked up, his face full of bewilderment, and exclaimed.

Master Qiao Qiao's body stiffened. Following her brother's gaze, she looked over.

She saw a person tumble down from the tree, falling with a crash, hanging upside down before her.

Qiao Mu: ...

Husband, scaling rooftops and removing tiles, climbing trees and acting like a monkey—are you still doing this?

Duan Yue's eyebrow twitched. He expressionlessly stared at the person who had suddenly appeared hanging upside down, facing them directly, swaying back and forth between Qiao Qiao and him.

The person tilted his head, his black hair falling in disarray.

His sparkling phoenix eyes peered out from the messy black strands, staring intently at the two of them.

He looked at Duan Yue, then at Qiao Mu.

Looked at Qiao Mu, then at Duan Yue.

A look of gravity appeared on his face.

After a moment, he fell from the tree...
