Chapter 5261: 5.1013 Bounced Back

Mo Lian, that guy really dares to make trouble for him!

[Brother, trouble's here! That old geezer from Shadow City came to Changle Street today causing trouble, and now he's escaped back. Hope you can quickly lead the Three Continents' elites to besiege him. It's now 100% confirmed that Shadow City has ties with Heavenly Fate.]

Duanyue poked the communication jade slip with his talisman brush, writing heavily: "Did this person scare my godson?"

After a long pause, a single word came back: [No.]

"Then why do you look like someone stepped on your tail?" Duanyue couldn't help but gloat. "Shadow City came knocking for trouble and actually escaped from your hands, you're really stupid."

[Get lost!]

"Then why don't you get lost and come here first, try to make me get lost."

While poking the communication jade slip, Duanyue muttered to himself, "Asking for help with a bad attitude."

[He escaped from Qiao Qiao's talisman array.]

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Alright, I understand. I'll bring people over tomorrow."

Qiao Mu finished bathing, walking in expressionlessly, clad in a loose, moon-white nightgown.

She saw her Lian sitting by the window, holding a communication talisman, poking it with a talisman brush, writing something.

She quietly moved beside him, squinting at him. "You really are secretly colluding with him!"

Her sudden shout made Mo Lian's hand tremble, almost dropping the jade slip.

Twitching his lips, Mo Lian turned his head, looking helplessly at his angry baby, exasperatedly saying, "Wife, what idiom are you using?!"

Misusing words!

"What were you talking to Duanyue about?"

"Just about the Shadow City business," Mo Lian took his little wife's hand, stroked her slightly damp hair, and used a wisp of fire spiritual energy to dry it.

He hugged his wife, hand resting on her belly through her clothes. Mo Lian tilted his head, rubbing against her neck. "Qiao Qiao, as long as you're happy. Don't worry about anything else, okay?"

Qiao Mu secretly pinched him.

Truth be told, she had been feeling quite sluggish lately, too lazy to bother with many things.

Moreover, it was around the New Year, and the imperial court was almost on holiday. Officials were acting somewhat怠慢 (indolent), and there were no major issues in the Eastern Palace. Qiao Qiao just wanted to sleep and eat every day.

"Oh, right, how should we handle Mu Jingfeng's matter?"

Mu Jingfeng was currently detained in the Mu family's dungeon. Old Master Mu sent a message saying he was already on his last breath.

Qiao Mu was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go see him tomorrow."

She was tired today and didn't want to exert herself anymore.

Now, the priority was Qiao Qiao's baby. It was time for her to get some sleep. She shouldn't think about anything else.

"Okay." Mo Lian also knew she had been very sleepy lately. Every time he returned after bathing, he would find Qiao Qiao already asleep.

Today was no exception. Not long after Mo Lian lay down with her, he began to examine her belly.

He wondered if it was his imagination, but he always felt Qiao Qiao's belly was faintly warm after she fell asleep...

When he touched it, there was even a considerable force that bounced him back!

Could it be that the little one inside is practicing cultivation every night...?

Mo Lian couldn't help but feel silly about his own thought.

How could that be? It doesn't seem likely when you think about it, but then he remembered what Qiao Qiao had said before: "Husband, I feel like my cultivation speed increases a lot every day. It's like I'm constantly absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth even when I'm sleeping. Have you felt that recently?"
