Chapter 4936: 5.0688 Doesn't Understand Qiao
Qin Er initially thought he could capture that bothersome little one within three days.
Who knew...
The group searched the seas for a full fifteen days but still couldn't find a single trace of the little one.
It wasn't until another ten days passed that Young Master Er finally admitted his mission to apprehend Qiao Mu had failed.
Qiaoqiao had vanished without a trace. This mischievous spirit neither ventured into the Oblivion River clan grounds nor went to Daxi City, the Oblivion River's trade hub.
The little one had completely disappeared from the Oblivion River waters, as if she had evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace of her aura.
Young Master Qin Er had reason to suspect she had recovered her divine consciousness and had likely hidden herself in her own star domain.
Since the little girl intended to hide, it would be difficult to dig her out again.
Even with Young Master Er's extraordinary intelligence, he had to admit that this imp had slipped right under his nose.
No matter how intelligent those two in the Qin Manor were, they couldn't have imagined that Qiao Mu had traveled over a thousand li of sea overnight and secretly entered a small fishing village.
For the past half month, Qiao Mu had settled down in this small fishing village.
During the day, she cultivated, read, and recovered her divine consciousness. After nightfall, she concealed her aura and quietly floated back near the Sacrificial Sea Abyss entrance.
The little one had been lingering and wandering around the entrance of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss.
Qin Er still didn't understand her nature well enough.
If he truly understood Qiao Mu's nature, like Qiaoqiao's Lotus, he wouldn't have failed to encounter her even once for such a long time.
And so, Qiao Mu remained hidden by day and emerged by night, continuously waiting for Qiaoqiao's Lotus at the Sacrificial Sea Abyss entrance for over half a month.
The longer she waited, the more anxious and disappointed she became.
Occasionally, she would take out the condensed soul pearl to look at it. When she saw the faint illusion of the Ancient Black Lotus curled up and sleeping within the soul pearl, her heart couldn't stop pounding.
Something's happened, something definitely happened!
If reason hadn't firmly restrained her, she might have already jumped into the Sacrificial Sea Abyss entrance to investigate further.
The small fishing village had only about a hundred households. From one end of the village to the other, every household knew each other very well.
These fishermen usually went out to sea to fish when it was still dimly lit, and they had to return to the village before sunset.
Otherwise, after nightfall, the dangers on the sea were unknown.
As dawn faintly broke, Qiao Mu returned to the fishing village.
Sister Feng was already very familiar with her habits over these past days.
In the first few days, Sister Feng had worried for a while, offering many words of advice, telling her not to go out to sea at night.
But she soon discovered that this seemingly very young girl was an incredibly capable person and didn't need her anxiety or concern. So, she gradually put her mind at ease.
When Qiao Mu walked into the village, holding a large-headed fish, her face expressionless.
The few fishermen who were going out to sea saw her and habitually greeted her with smiles, "Little Physician is back."
"Little Physician caught another big fish today."
This little physician truly was a bizarre character. She went out to sea in the middle of the night every day, and when she returned in the morning, she would always be carrying a fish.
Not many, just one, but Feng Qi's family only had four or five people, so one large fish was absolutely enough for a day's meal.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little envious of Feng Qi.
When those two had taken in this little lady of unknown origin, they had secretly laughed at them.
In such difficult times, who didn't hide their grain in the cellar? Where would anyone have extra to entertain guests?
