Chapter 5259: 5.1011 Setting a Trap for Duanyue!

"I, I know where the seed fragment is!" Qin Cao suddenly shrieked, curling up and trembling, feeling the thin, cold, sharp blade press against his carotid artery.

In the nick of time, at the brink of death, Qin Cao screamed it out.

Mo Lian's dark phoenix eyes flickered slightly. He sneered, "Oh? But the Saintess of Zhaoguang said earlier that the seed fragment is now in the hands of their Saint."

"Yes, yes, I, I know." Qin Cao suddenly raised his hand and pointed in Mu Jingfeng's direction. "He, he is the Saint, he is the Saint."

Just as everyone's gaze collectively turned towards Mu Jingfeng, Qin Cao gritted his teeth and slapped a talisman onto himself.

In mere seconds, he shrank into a ball, slipped out from a pile of clothes, and scurried away from the corner of the wall with a "whoosh," disappearing from sight.

Qiao Mu blinked. "Transformation Talisman."

The hidden guards hadn't expected this person to be so shameless, transforming into a mouse and scurrying away. For a moment, they didn't react.

"Your Highness!"

"Crown Princess." You Ba frowned tightly, his expression quite郁闷 (frustrated/gloomy).

"It's fine," the little Crown Princess waved her hand. "Turning into a smelly mouse, now that was unexpected."

"Crown Princess." A hidden guard quickly came to them, bowing. "Please take a look at the teahouse at the end of the street."

Everyone followed him to the end of Changle Street, where they saw a clear transparent ladder rising into the air in front of a teahouse. Only half of it was still suspended in the air.

The other half had already disappeared into the sky.

Qiao Mu slightly curved her lips. "Sky Ladder Talisman."

The Heavenly Fate bigwig capable of drawing this Sky Ladder Talisman was currently hiding in some obscure corner.

"It doesn't matter." Mo Lian smiled faintly, a hint of mockery on his lips. "The monk can run, but the temple cannot. I'm thinking, Duanyue is idle anyway lately. How about I have him lead those thirty thousand elite soldiers to flatten Shadow City? What do you think?"

Qiao Mu tilted her little head, silently glancing at her husband.

[I think you're digging a pit for Duanyue!]

"Can that really work?"

"Why not?" Mo Lian's smile was gentle and refined, like spring returning to the earth, appearing especially... simple and honest.

"Look, Duanyue can't always be idle. I heard he's been bored stiff lately and has already taken people to mine."

Qiao Mu: ...

"Mine what?"

"I heard a Sacred Stone Mine was discovered somewhere in Cangzhou."

"Really?" Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up.

Mo Lian secretly gnashed his teeth, clutching a communication jade slip and rubbing it hard, yet unexpectedly showing a brilliant smile to his wife.

"Mm! I heard the scale isn't small, so he went there personally."

[Lian, I found a Sacred Stone Mine for our godson, a huge one, as wide as two mountains! Just waiting for that kid to come out, and I'll give him all the ore. Isn't that great?]

[How do I not know you have a godson??]

[Don't you know? He's in Qiao Qiao's belly! We'll meet him soon. Let me count the days, is it still three months? Haha, so excited.]

The above was what that Duanyue fellow sent yesterday, ostensibly as a greeting.

Pah! That guy was just trying to show off that he had discovered a Sacred Stone Mine "as big as two mountains."

Sure enough, as soon as his Qiao Qiao heard the words "Sacred Stone Mine," her eyes brightened a few points, her beautiful almond eyes glowing!
