Chapter 5048: 5.0800 Who is the Turtle?

A large group of Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers thundered out through the gap in the defensive barrier with their wolf pack.

No one looked back or dared to glance behind them; they all continued to sprint forward.

Zuo Lanshan looked a bit bewildered. His snake tail swept across the ground as he glided next to Qiao Mu, asking with a puzzled expression, "Are we just letting them go?"

"How could that be?" Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom rolled his eyes at him. "Our Qiao Qiao naturally has a backup plan."

Zuo Lanshan's face remained blank as he nodded. "I thought the little stoic wasn't a broad-minded person; how could she just let these people leave?"

Qiao Mu turned her head and glared at him.

Mo Lian's lips twitched slightly. He pulled his handsome face taut and retorted to Zuo Lanshan, "If you can't speak properly, don't speak!"

The mute wants to talk, and everything he says always sounds off.

Actually, Zuo Lanshan's original intention was to say that the little stoic was someone who repaid kindness and vengeance in kind, and therefore shouldn't let General Hado leave like that. He felt this action wasn't characteristic of the little stoic.

But the words took a 180-degree turn by the time they reached his mouth, perfectly illustrating the phrase "words failing to convey meaning."

Zuo Lanshan somewhat aggrievedly shut his mouth, feeling very confused:

Girls are really too hard to figure out!

Like the weather in March, their expressions change in an instant. She was fine just a moment ago, and now she's immediately frowning.

"Don't mind him, he's uncultured," Mo Lian whispered, holding his wife's hand. "Later, we'll find him a tutor to properly educate him. So he won't misuse these idioms anymore."

Qiao Mu pouted slightly, reluctantly nodding.

She looked up at her husband, then down at herself, a faint melancholy rising in her heart.

Her current fat winter melon image...

Standing beside her husband, she always felt so out of place!

The little stoic kept her small face taut, raising a hand to push the man away. "Move a little further."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blinked, looking at his wife with a completely bewildered expression. "Why?"

"We don't match well."

"How could we not match?" Crown Prince Mo suddenly reached out and scooped his wife into his arms. "Wife, no matter what you look like, you match me perfectly."

Qiao Mu's transformed, tiny, green-bean eyes widened. She glared at him furiously and raised her small hand to hit him on the head. "Don't be silly!"

"I'm not being silly," Crown Prince Mo blinked, then lowered his head to nuzzle her hair. "We're an old married couple after all these years, Qiao Qiao..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a surge of power from Qiao Qiao's abdomen pushing against him, suddenly trying to push him away.

Mo Lian was startled. Daring not to resist, he allowed the force to push him back two steps, then looked at his wife two steps away with a wronged expression.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but smile. She raised a hand to caress her belly and snorted, "Little Mo doesn't like you."

This wasn't the first time it pushed its father away...

The unfortunate Crown Prince; his child disliked him even before being born.

Meanwhile, Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom couldn't bear to watch anymore. He patted Zuo Lanshan beside him. "Let's go take a look ahead. Those people should be back by now."

Which people should be back?

Zuo Lanshan followed, looking utterly confused.

They hadn't gone far when they saw clouds of dust in the distance. A large group of black wolves, carrying a frightened and bewildered group of Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers, were retreating back.

It was as if a ghost was chasing them from behind.
