Chapter 4944: 5.0696 Not Worth It

Qiao Mu's small hand paused in mid-air. After a moment of hesitation, she handed a small porcelain bottle to Sister Feng. "Then, you wash and apply the medicine for the child."

Sister Feng knew her distant gesture just now was a bit hurtful, so she smiled sheepishly at Qiao Mu. "Th-thank you very much, Little Physician."

Qiao Mu nodded, her expression calm and serene. "We will be leaving soon."

"Thank you for taking care of me these past two weeks. I'll leave you some rice and provisions; I hope you don't mind."

After saying this, Qiao Mu nodded slightly to Sister Feng, then turned to Duan Yue's side and whispered, "Let's go."

"Alright." Duan Yue turned and gestured to the Dark Guards not far away.

The group quickly formed ranks, leaped into the air, and headed towards the flying spiritual artifact hovering in mid-air.

Qiao Mu, holding the dazed Mo's hand, ascended the first flying spiritual artifact with Duan Yue.

It wasn't until dozens of flying spiritual artifacts had departed far away that the other villagers dared to gather on the beach.

They sighed for a long time, chattering amongst themselves. "Who exactly is this Little Physician?"

"Wow, judging by her aura, she must be a noble lady from some prominent family, right?"

"Sister Feng, Sister Feng, hey?" A villager called Sister Feng a few times, but saw her ignore everyone and run towards her home, clutching her child.

The villagers pursed their lips.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Oh no, the Little Physician is gone! Who will treat Brother Fang's injuries? Brother Fang must still be lying on the beach at the east end of the village, right?"

When they were fleeing for their lives just now, not one of them had spared a thought for Brother Fang, who had been bitten by a sea shark and couldn't move his lower limbs.

Now that the danger was over, they remembered Brother Fang was still on the beach.

"Yeah, oh dear, my old cold leg, the Little Physician said five acupuncture sessions would make it perfectly fine. But she's only done three sessions! Who am I supposed to find for the other two?"

"Oh, this Little Physician, really..."

Sister Feng stopped listening to the villagers' endless complaints. She ran home with Maomao in her arms and pushed open her door with a bang.

She ran into the small courtyard and saw the rice jar filled with white rice, and beside it, several pieces of cured meat and some vegetables.

She stood dazed in the courtyard for a long time, holding her child, her heart instantly filled with regret.

She had been with the Little Physician for almost a month. How could she not know what kind of person she was? Why... why did she act so hurtfully just now?

How could the Little Physician possibly harm them, innocent villagers?

The dazed Mo initially sat beside Qiao Mu, then she stood up and circled Qiao Mu.

The Dark Guards present, who were at the Divine Realm or higher, could all see this soul body, acting like someone with ADHD, circling the little Crown Princess, as if trying to express something but lacking the words to do so.

"Qiao, Qiao," Mo's voice was slow and drawn out, "Not, not wor-th it!"

Everyone exchanged glances, truly unsure what this half-soul body was talking about.

Qiao Mu looked at her, blinked, and then suddenly smiled at her.

She instantly understood what this wooden, dull-witted person was trying to say.

Mo wanted to tell Qiao Mu that those villagers weren't worth her trouble, nor should she be in a bad mood over them.

Though this cub was slow-witted, she wasn't foolish. Having been with Qiao Mu for so long, Mo had seen that those villagers only wanted to gain something from Qiaoqiao.
