Chapter 5260: 5.1012 Secret Communications?
Gotta quickly send this guy off to do something else, instead of him just sitting around all day, only thinking about how to please his Qiao, pah!
Qiao Mu blinked, then waved her hand in front of Mo Lian. "Qiao Qiao's Lian, you're spacing out!"
Mo Lian snapped back to attention, giving his wife a dazzling smile. He held her small hand firmly, chuckling, "It's settled then."
Settled what? Qiao Mu looked helpless.
"I'll send him a message right away!" Mo Lian said with a grin. "Duanyue will be very happy."
"Really?" Qiao Mu eyed him. Would Duanyue truly be happy...?
"Absolutely," Mo Lian nodded and smiled. "Think about it, being able to command the elites of the Three Continents, what a joyful thing that is."
"Why don't we let Ming Yasi go?" Qiao Mu suggested after a thought. "Isn't he idle too?"
"No, that won't do." Mo Lian quickly and righteously rejected Qiao Qiao's suggestion. "Such an important matter as flattening Shadow City cannot be entrusted to that fellow. We must find someone reliable."
Qiao Mu suddenly dropped his hand and turned to walk away.
Mo Lian looked at his abandoned hand, then followed in confusion. "Qiao Qiao??"
"So, in your heart, Duanyue is the most reliable one, right?! You might as well just live with him!"
Mo Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly caught up a few steps, pulled Qiao Mu's hand, and chuckled, "Compared to Ming Yasi, that beardless fellow, that kid is still a bit more reliable."
Qiao Mu pouted. She understood in her heart, but she was also considering the danger of going to war with Shadow City.
"Are you two secretly communicating??" Qiao Mu's face was impassive as she seriously turned to look at her husband and asked.
"No, no!" Mo Lian quickly shook his head. "What would I communicate with him about? What could the two of us possibly talk about?"
"Is that so?" Qiao Mu looked at him suspiciously.
Her husband's guilty expression clearly showed he was hiding something from her.
"You two aren't cooking up some big scheme again and secretly keeping it from Qiao Qiao, are you?!" Qiao Mu immediately felt it was highly possible these two would do something like that.
After all, it wasn't their first time...
Once bitten, twice shy, but after three times, it becomes natural!
"No, no, no!" Mo Lian shook his head repeatedly, blinking. "Don't worry, I've copied the quotations a hundred times, and I remember every single one. I won't make that mistake again."
"Good that you know." Qiao Qiao casually tucked the Little Emperor's Quotations back into her embrace, then glanced at Mo Lian. "Next time you mess up, you'll have to copy it a thousand times, and you won't be allowed in my room for a month!"
Mo Lian's handsome face instantly fell.
...
"Ach-choo!"
"Your Majesty, please don't read by the window anymore. Are you feeling a bit cold?" Yuan Zhen retrieved a blanket and offered it to Duanyue, who was sitting by the window.
Duanyue tossed the blanket aside, looking somewhat speechless. "With my cultivation, do you think I could possibly catch a cold?"
He was already at a state where he was warm in winter and cool in summer...
No matter how severe the heat or cold, it had no effect on his physique.
As a mid-stage Divine Venerable, he could completely disregard external environmental conditions.
Yuan Zhen was amused and annoyed at the same time, nodding. "Since that's the case, then why did Your Majesty just..."
"Someone is secretly thinking about me!" Duanyue casually swept his hand, and a communication jade slip appeared.
His gaze fixed on the jade slip, and his watery peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed.
