Chapter 4762: Qiao Qiao Waits for Lian

Since she planned to stay in Forgetful River for a while, Qiao Mu discussed it with Rong Qing and their group.

They reinforced the defensive talisman array on their original Snow Island, allowing everyone to temporarily settle there. Those who needed to cultivate did so, and those who needed to refine pills did so.

Qiao Mu now found that only by keeping herself busy could she prevent too many anxious thoughts.

Huang He and the others dared not ask too much.

Since the day Long Hui and his sister's group left, Qiao Qiao had become even more silent and reserved.

Daily, she busied herself like a small spinning top, either guiding them in alchemy or assisting Rong Qing in accelerating their training progress.

The cultivators inwardly complained incessantly but dared not show it on their faces.

They had all deeply experienced the little stoic's methods.

Anyone who dared to complain about hardship or fatigue would surely find themselves a hundred times more miserable and exhausted the next day.

That stoic face was just that troublesome; there was nothing they could do about her.

Three days later, Qiao Mu roamed alone on the surface of the Forgetful River Sea.

She had developed this habit recently: habitually waiting on the sea surface for Qiao Qiao's Lian to return.

Habitually sitting in this spot, staring blankly at the vast expanse of water.

Here, she had carved out a large fissure, creating an extremely deep sea trench.

The waters from both sides flowed into this deep chasm, ceaselessly and continuously. The sea surface remained as calm as ever.

However, from now on, ships sailing through this area would need to be extremely careful.

If they were caught in the strong currents and dragged into this sea trench, it would truly be a deadly misfortune.

This day, Qiao Mu was again lost in thought by the sea trench.

She sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, her figure as if rooted beside the sea trench, firmly fixed in place.

She neither slid down with the currents nor drifted out with the water. Her figure sat motionlessly, staring blankly at the entire deep chasm.

It was unknown how long she had been in this state.

Little Commander had also come out to persuade her, but he couldn't convince the little one.

Mo Lian had fallen into the Sacrificial Sea Abyss, and Qiao Qiao's heart had fallen with him.

"Qiao Qiao, how about we go to Lotus Pond Saint Realm and take a look?" Little Commander emerged again, standing beside the little stoic with a worried expression, his eyes fixed on her.

Qiao Mu lifted an eyelid and looked up at Little Commander. "Do you think Long Xiangyun's words are reliable?"

"At that point, I don't think she had any reason to lie to you."

"She didn't lie to me, but if we go to Lotus Pond Saint Realm, it won't be a one-or-two-day affair. Qiao Qiao still needs to wait for Lian here," Qiao Mu hesitated for a moment before saying.

Little Commander secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Qiao Qiao was willing to go to Lotus Pond Saint Realm, it was good.

Although he didn't know if Lian's divine soul truly existed in this Lotus Pond Saint Realm, after all...

For Qiao Qiao to go out and move around, to explore a secret realm, was much better than endlessly waiting here like a "waiting-for-husband stone."

Qiao Mu glanced at him. "Little Commander, will Qiao Qiao's Lian be alright?"

"Of course, he will," Little Commander pouted. "Haven't you heard the old saying?"

"What?"

"Bad guys live a thousand years!"

Qiao Mu: ...

Little Commander scoffed, "What could happen to him? Haven't you already heard? The message from the Dark Night Pavilion states that his 'bright lamp phantom' is completely undamaged, which means he's perfectly fine."

He's only temporarily fine, though...

Qiao Mu thought worriedly.

"Qiao Qiao," Little Commander said seriously, "I think we should go."
