Chapter 5167: 5.0919 Qiao's Gift

The next day, the sky was clear and bright, completely sunny, with the sun hanging high above the treetops. Early in the morning, the little Crown Princess led a group of children to the imperial garden for some morning exercises, stretching their legs and twisting their waists.

Mo floated around her in two circles, constantly circling her. Qiao Mu stopped her movements, tilted her head, and looked at her. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

The floating and swaying Mo nodded blankly. Qiao Mu beckoned to her, inviting her to sit beside her. "What do you want to say?"

"How about this, try using my golden bead talisman brush to see if you can write on a jade talisman." Mo's expressive ability was problematic; she seemed to have difficulty conveying what she wanted to say, so Qiao Mu thought of letting her try writing it down directly.

The dull and foolish Mo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, circling Qiao Mu until she finally found her place. This soul body floated down to sit beside Qiao Mu, holding the golden bead talisman brush that Qiao Mu had taken out. Indeed, it carved a line of small characters onto the jade talisman.

Qiao Mu took the jade talisman and looked at it, then gazed at Mo with a serious expression, hesitantly asking, "You… are you sure you want to do this?"

The blank-faced Mo nodded.

"You… did you see me use medicine to save people before, and thought I might be able to make this kind of pill? So, the previous times you circled around me, you were actually trying to ask for this?"

Mo nodded repeatedly, her blank face devoid of expression, but Qiao Mu could feel that she seemed relieved, as if she had finally expressed what she wanted to convey, her face showing a sense of relief.

"But you are only half a wisp of a soul now, and you want this pill…" Qiao Mu suddenly stopped speaking, her face showing a look of sudden realization. "You know where to find your main body, don't you?"

Mo nodded again.

"However, once you start taking this medicine, if you interrupt it for even one day, it might poison you. Also, after continuously taking it for one hundred days without interruption, there might be no room for reversal. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Mo nodded without hesitation.

"Or, after you take it, you might even forget me."

Mo paused, then waved her hands repeatedly at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu rarely curled the corners of her lips. She raised a hand and patted the soul body. "I respect your decision. I'll give you the pill in a while. But before that, I have something to give you."

With a flick of her small hand, a ball of light flew up above her palm, floating and sinking, rising and falling.

The little monkey, who was lying nearby, immediately jumped up, sniffing its nose. "Wow, the smell of an ancient sacred beast."

Kong Kong, Guang Guang, the little monkey, and Mo, all four heads gathered around, staring at the sealed ball of light above Qiao Mu's palm, blinking their eyes.

Inside the ball of light, a small, snow-white creature was coiled, its entire body buried within a fluffy large tail. Only a small, white horn on its tiny head could be seen faintly swaying.

Qiao Mu raised her hand and stroked the ball of light, sighing softly. "This is a small unicorn that my master extracted. It was born prematurely and with congenital deficiencies, so it grows very slowly."

"Perhaps, it will need a hundred, or a thousand years, to fully awaken. Or perhaps, it will never emerge, throughout all its lives."

"But I feel that it is very lonely, and you are also very lonely. If the two of you could be companions together in the future, it would actually be quite good," Qiao Mu said gently.
