Chapter 5033: 5.0785 Why Am I Disliked?

The little stoic suddenly put on a stern, unyielding expression. "Stop chattering! Go cultivate quickly."

Mo Lian coughed lightly, raising a hand to caress her face. "Qiao Qiao, how can you change your expression so quickly?"

Lord Qiao Qiao snorted, brushed his hand away, and roared, "Cultivate properly!"

Mo Lian's lips twitched. Seeing the little one about to jump off the top of the Longevity Tree, he quickly reached out and pulled her into his embrace, chuckling softly, "Wife, you're naughty. This time when you saw your husband, you didn't even give him a hug."

"Look, your husband copied 'Qiao Qiao's Sayings' a hundred times, admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment. We should reconcile, shouldn't we?"

Qiao Qiao chuckled, her lips downturned, her expression noncommittal.

"Wife... Qiao Qiao." Mo Lian's eyes shimmered, a faint smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand to touch the little stoic's belly. "It'll take at least two or three days for your husband to absorb this. For the sake of Little Mo, please forgive your..."

"Whoosh." The moment Mo Lian reached out and placed his hand on Qiao Qiao's belly, he felt a burst of energy emanating from within, forcefully shaking his palm several inches away.

He looked utterly bewildered, lowered his head with a strange look at his wife's belly, and exclaimed in surprise, "Qiao Qiao, it, it??"

Qiao Mu glanced at him, casually raising a hand to touch her belly, comforting the restless Little Mo. "Such a fuss."

The little stoic said expressionlessly, "Can't you tell? Little Mo doesn't seem to like you very much!"

Mo Lian's eyes instantly widened. He put his arms around his wife and cried out, "Why? What did I do wrong? Why am I disliked?"

"You lied to Qiao Qiao!"

Mo Lian's lips twitched. He then hugged his little wife and swayed her, repeatedly promising, "I swear I'll never lie to Qiao Qiao again."

"Let's just let bygones be bygones regarding what happened in the deep sea abyss. Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao, answer me, smile a little."

"Heh."

Mo Lian chuckled, leaned down and kissed his wife's cheek, then raised a hand to touch her belly. "Qiao Qiao, now that your husband thinks about it, I still feel a great sense of dread."

If he had lingered in the deep sea abyss for half a year, unable to find a way out, wouldn't he have missed the most important moments of his little wife's life, and even the birth of Little Mo?

"So that human-snake shouldn't be let off so easily," Qiao Mu huffed, rubbing her belly indignantly. "If I secretly beat him up, what do you think are my chances of winning?"

"You, alone??"

Qiao Mu nodded.

Mo Lian: ...

If he were to say, "No chance at all," would he be beaten up by his wife first?

"How about this, Little Water, Little Earth, Little Treeman and the others, they're just idle anyway. And there's Chu Chu, Phoenix, Little White Snake and the rest. Let's gather them up and pick a moonless, windy night. A group beating would be better."

The little stoic pouted, but she was adaptable and immediately said, "Then we'll put it on the tab for now. We'll wait until my Ming Ming, Chu Chu, and the others advance to mature Sacred Beasts before we deal with him."

Mo Lian's eyes curved in a smile as he nodded repeatedly. "That's an excellent idea."

As he spoke, he reached out again and placed his hand on Qiao Qiao's abdomen, and this time, he wasn't pushed away by the child in disgust.

"Qiao Qiao, have you heard of the Duo Luo Kingdom?"

Qiao Mu was startled, turning back to look at him with a serious expression. "You met Lili'er?"

Mo Lian nodded gravely.
