Chapter 5034: 5.0786 Family Business

"That Zero??" Qiao Mu blinked.

Are these Lili'ers just incredibly unlucky?

According to Grand Imperial Master Shen Tu Jing, Lili'er Nine was killed by Duan Yue, and Lili'er Five was dealt with by Ming Yasi.

As for Lili'er Zero, Shen Tu Jing said she went to the Underworld River with the Second Imperial Master, so it seems she tragically encountered Qiao Qiao's Lotus...

The outcome probably wasn't good for her either.

"I encountered their Second Imperial Master, Shen Nanguai, and this Lili'er Zero in the Underworld River." Mo Lian recounted the events with a grim face, a flicker of anger in his eyes when he mentioned Lili'er Zero.

Although he had already executed this Zero, just remembering her disgusting face made Crown Prince Mo feel like he'd swallowed a fly; the thought alone made him sick.

"Before she died, Lili'er Zero revealed a piece of information: the Duo Luo Kingdom is plotting to attack Dragon Flame City."

Qiao Mu was startled, then sat up straight. "But I heard Duan Yue say that's just a small kingdom on the grasslands."

Them, attacking the imperial capital of the Divine Land Continent?

What a joke!

"Yes, but since it's a long-planned attack, they must have some special reliance."

"If it's about reliance, could it be that they've colluded with Heaven's Will?"

"Highly likely." Mo Lian nodded. "And there's a problem with the prevalence of people called Puppet Masters throughout the Duo Luo Kingdom."

Qiao Mu nodded. "Don't worry, you go absorb the Ancient Mo Lian. I'll head to Dragon Flame City."

Mo Lian grunted an "Mm," and clasped her hand, saying, "Be sure to be careful on your way."

"Okay." Qiao Mu was silent for a moment, then said, "About Heaven's Will..."

"Duan Yue has already mentioned it to me." Mo Lian nodded. "It seems the Qin family and the corpse puppets have a long history. They probably haven't just been concocting these corpse puppet mutation drugs for one or two generations."

This might already be a fully established... family business.

Qiao Mu sighed, then seemed to recall something and glanced at Mo Lian. "You and Duan Yue, did you fight?"

Mo Lian quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No, how could I fight with brother Duan Yue? We haven't seen each other for a long time and missed each other greatly. We just had a friendly spar."

Qiao Mu rolled her eyes at him. "You even flattened my pomegranate tree outside the door!"

"Did we?" Mo Lian hugged her and laughed. "I'll plant a few hundred more for you later."

"Always rambling nonsense," Qiao Mu pushed his face away and snorted. "You stay here and cultivate properly. I'll go find them first."

With that, she popped the golden Longevity Fruit into her mouth, and her eyes instantly lit up.

"Delicious!" Lord Qiao Qiao's figure flickered, and she vanished from the Main Star.

Mo Lian couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

When Qiao Mu reappeared beside Duan Yue and the others, it was a quarter of an hour later.

Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom chuckled, "That guy went to cultivate?"

Qiao Mu nodded, opening her palm to reveal two golden peanuts. "The Longevity Fruit is ripe. One for each of you."

"It's extremely delicious!"

"You ate it?" Duan Yue was startled, then sized her up.

"Yes, I ate it," Qiao Mu nodded expressionlessly. "I ate it for Qiuchu. Once Qiuchu absorbs the Longevity Fruit's power, I'll go out."

Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom swiftly picked one up and popped it into his mouth, his expression identical to Qiao Mu's. "Delicious!"

Duan Yue was quite speechless.

Are they supposed to be critiquing its taste right now? Shouldn't they be evaluating the promotion effect or something...
