Chapter 4969: 5.0721 Like His Dad

As for the unlucky Shentu Jing, Duan Yue had nothing more to say. But since it was Lord Qiao Qiao's decision, Duan Yue naturally... supported it to the end.

"See if we can dig up any more useful information from this Shentu Jing," Qiao Mu said with a serious expression. "What in the world is this Duoluo Kingdom up to?"

Qiao Mu frowned and said coldly, "I want to go to the Pingjin Great Grassland and meet that ruler of the Duoluo Kingdom."

Duan Yue hurriedly shook his head. "Given your current condition, you're not suited to go to a place like the Pingjin Great Grassland, where the terrain and environment are quite harsh."

Qiao Mu considered this and nodded quickly. "Okay, then you can help me capture their Grand Imperial Advisor and all that." She wanted to thoroughly investigate who dared to be so audacious as to create so many Lilies to trick her—no, that's wrong, it should be to trick Mo Lian. Humph! Qiao Qiao's Mo Lian was truly a blockhead. Qiao Qiao was almost overwhelmed by imitations, and he was probably counting mushrooms in some corner!

Duan Yue suppressed a smile and nodded, a helpless expression on his face. "Alright. I'll listen to you. You'll obediently return to Cangzhou with me in a few days. We can discuss the rest later."

"This matter is very strange and needs a thorough investigation." He looked at the little one, pregnant yet so restless, constantly moving and bouncing around, which made his heart slightly anxious.

Qiao Mu put on an unruffled expression and patted his arm. "Don't worry, my body is perfectly fine." It was a joke; she was a Grand Alchemist. If she couldn't even regulate her own body, that would be truly laughable. She knew her own body's condition best.

If it weren't for her little deadpan face always maintaining a poker expression, she might have already been grinning widely. This baby in her belly was likely a peerless oddball. She felt nothing while pregnant with him; no drowsiness, no morning sickness, no dizziness or fever whatsoever. Only when she was picky about food would he give her guidance...

Additionally, when encountering something good, he might... also give her guidance. For instance, when she encountered the Condensing Light Mirror previously, she clearly felt the baby's unusual movements.

This little oddball probably takes after his dad, Qiao Mu thought, a foodie, plus someone who likes to collect all sorts of good things. He probably won't suffer any losses when he grows up; he'll be a shrewd character.

As Lord Qiao Qiao thought this, her small hand couldn't help but caress her abdomen. As if feeling her caress, her belly was now slightly warm.

"Qiao Qiao?" Duan Yue saw her spacing out and couldn't help but glance at her.

Qiao Mu lightly coughed and patted her belly seriously. "Hmm, it's nothing. Duan Yue, don't worry needlessly, my body is doing great." She ate well, slept well, and felt like she had endless energy. A single punch could split mountains and divert rivers without any issues! Who else, when pregnant, could be as strong as her?

Lord Qiao Qiao was indeed extraordinary.

Duan Yue curved his lips. "Qiao Qiao, praising yourself in your head?"

"Who, who said that!" Qiao Mu glared at Duan Yue, hummed, and took a few small steps forward.

"Walk any further and you'll fall into the sea," Duan Yue said, trying to suppress his laughter as he followed from the bow. "I've deployed an additional thousand men. We'll search the nearby waters for two more days."

Qiao Mu angrily twisted her small head. "This is you wanting to find him."

"Alright... I miss him," Duan Yue sighed helplessly.
