Chapter 5035: 5.0787 Orderly Progress
The reason Qiao Qiao bit into the Longevity Fruit was actually because... this foodie was simply curious about its taste.
Qiao Mu turned to the two of them with a serious expression. "Peach Blossom, do you want to go to the Main Star to accompany Mo Lian?"
Feng Chen looked exasperated. "Why would I go accompany him?"
"I thought you two liked being together?"
"I..." Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. He really wanted to ask his Qiao, where exactly did you get the idea that I enjoy staying with that Mo Lian fellow? I'm not that bored that I'd go stay there, constantly watching him unintentionally flaunt their affection, always talking about his "wife" this and "wife" that, poking arrows into my heart every day. Pfft, I'm not sick...
"Don't you two always like going everywhere together, plunging through water and fire together?"
Feng Chen: ...
When Qiao Qiao put it that way, he actually found himself unable to refute it.
He and Mo Lian, these two "brothers in misfortune," really did seem to have gone through water and fire together.
Duan Yue chuckled, lightly coughing. "Peach Blossom, you should go to the Main Star. I think once you go, you won't want to go to any other star region."
Feng Chen's eyes lit up. "So, the Main Star is very different from other star regions?"
"Naturally."
"Alright then," Feng Chen pouted, looking reluctant. "I imagine Mo Lian absorbing the Ancient Mo Lian Soul Pearl will be quite difficult, so I'll go see how he's doing."
Duan Yue and Qiao Mu exchanged glances, unable to suppress a smile.
This guy was just being contradictory; he was clearly worried about Mo Lian encountering problems during his advancement, but his words were full of proud pretense.
"Peach Blossom, regarding the Jade Dragon Heavenly Palace with its flowing jade streams on the Main Star, don't be a glutton." Qiao Mu waved her hand, sending Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom towards the Main Star, and added a casual instruction.
The Immortal Venerable hummed, muttering to himself, "I'm not a foodie like you."
Qiao Mu used her demon pupil to observe, specifically finding an uninhabited spot, and then flashed out with Duan Yue.
The moment their auras were revealed, the Sacred Beast Human-Snake came rushing over, looking around. "Hey, why is it just you two? Where are they?"
"Who?" Qiao Mu looked at him with a serious expression, asking despite knowing the answer.
"That Mo kid! And Little Peach Blossom, where are they?"
Qiao Mu pouted. "Mo kid," "Little Peach Blossom," he called them so intimately; someone who didn't know might really think they were good brothers.
"Hey, fierce girl, don't leave! Where did you stuff my brother Mo and brother Peach Blossom?"
"None of your business," Qiao Mu retorted ungraciously, turning to look at Ji Si and the other three.
Ji Si felt the young girl's gaze was sharp and exceptionally keen, and quickly bowed respectfully. "May I ask for the Main Mistress's instructions?"
"Prepare yourselves. We depart tomorrow."
"Yes!" Ji Si and the others immediately clasped their hands in affirmation. They didn't dare ask where they were going or why their master was absent.
Qiao Mu turned to Duan Yue. "Dragon Flame City is likely facing changes. I need to go ahead."
"In about three months, I'll have Senior Huang He and Senior Chen Qi, along with the others, bring back the thirty thousand Slaying Heaven's Will members. We'll arrange for them to stay with you first."
"Good," Duan Yue nodded.
A series of events had occurred in the Underworld River previously, but fortunately, her private island, Snow Island, had been protected by several layers of concealment and defensive talismans, so it had remained relatively stable afterward.
She had received a message from Senior Chen Qi two days ago, stating that everything was proceeding methodically.
