Chapter 5171: 5.0923 Level 5 Mutation Pill

"Now Tianyun (Heaven's Fortune) has been exposed to the public, and several underground bases have been destroyed."

"If we continue to follow his method of gradual encroachment, we will sooner or later be defeated one by one." Second Young Master Qin stabbed the camphor tree in front of him with his sword, leaving a deep gash on its trunk.

"Does Second Young Master intend to?..." Dugu Ling stood behind him, frowning slightly in confusion. "Act without authorization?"

"Heh." Second Young Master Qin sneered, put away his sword, turned to Dugu Ling, and said indifferently, "The Old Ancestor is, after all, old."

"Many of his decisions are, due to changing times, actually no longer applicable." He raised his head, shielding his eyes with a hand, squinting at the dim, starlit night sky. "It's like many things, if you don't strive hard for them, if you don't seize them, even if there's an opportunity right in front of you, you still won't get them."

"The Dan Hall's mutation pills are said to be in their final stages of development," a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Second Young Master Qin's eyes. "Go fetch one."

"Young Master?"

"That person inherited the power of the ancient Mo Lian. If we don't use external forces, how can we defeat him?"

Dugu Ling quickly bowed and said, "Please reconsider." This mutation pill was no joke. Once taken, though the probability was low for the Young Master, there was a minute chance, perhaps one in ten thousand, that he might transform into a corpse puppet. Of course, with the Young Master's talent, he absolutely did not believe this would happen. At most, the Young Master would awaken a special ability!

"Look, isn't Little Five doing quite well now?" Second Young Master Qin said with a faint smile. "You tell me, since we have the advantage of proximity, why shouldn't we try it first?"

"A'Xin," Dugu Ling called out helplessly.

Qin Xin raised a hand to stop him from speaking further, then turned and walked out of the garden. "By this time tomorrow, I want to see the Level 5 mutation pill."

Dugu Ling was silent for a moment, ultimately unable to stop him again, watching him leave in the distance.

The next evening, at the East Palace.

"Your Highness, you're finally back." Cai Xiu immediately greeted the Crown Prince as he stepped through the door, quickly whispering, "This afternoon, after the Crown Princess received a message from a mechanical bird, she's been sulking ever since."

Mo Lian secretly cursed his father, who had kept him in the imperial study for endless discussions. See, my wife is upset! So, he quickly ran inside, pushed aside the beaded curtains, and entered the inner chamber. He saw the little stoic indeed looking all puffed up, leaning back on the bed, vigorously punching a pillow.

Mo Lian's heart inexplicably trembled and tensed up. Was his wife punching his real self?? He didn't feel like he had annoyed his wife today. This morning, he had just stolen two kisses while she was asleep. He shouldn't have been discovered. So why was his wife punching him?

Qiao Mu looked up and saw her Mo Lian hesitating, leaning against the multi-treasure shelf by the door, lingering without approaching. His two dark eyes were looking at her pitifully.

"You're back," the little one said weakly.

"Wife." Mo Lian quickly ran over, scooped her into his arms, and with an honest, apologetic expression, said, "Punch me, punch me, don't punch the pillow. This husband came back late today. Punch, hit hard. This husband will definitely be back on time tomorrow."

Qiao Mu gave him a speechless look.
