Chapter 5274: 5.1026 So Bitter It Became an Emoji!

He felt that his little guess was quite accurate.

These mother and son are truly interesting.

During the day, when she's free, she meditates and cultivates. At night, when she's asleep, he meditates and cultivates. Heh, they're really quite complementary!

Qiao Qiao didn't notice that her husband secretly rolled his eyes at her belly...

The next morning,

Qiao Mu woke up early, intending to take a group of little "radish heads" for a stroll in the garden, when she met Duanmu Qing ascending the steps.

Duanmu Qing, in a green robe, looked energetic.

Qiao Mu quickly walked a few steps closer to him, sizing him up, her gaze falling on his wrist.

The little poker face couldn't help but sink.

The latter quickly began to explain, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I only bandaged it recently to keep up appearances; actually, the wound has already faded. The bleeding stopped long ago after that day, and the scars are almost invisible."

"Actually, you... didn't have to do that," the little poker face murmured softly.

Duanmu Qing, however, smiled faintly at her. "I have no problem at all. Qiao Qiao, no need to worry, it's just putting on a show for outsiders."

Qiao Mu hummed in acknowledgment.

She naturally understood in her heart.

Lian had announced to the public that the Yellow Crane team, under her direction, was urgently working to develop an antidote.

And Duanmu immediately went with the flow, simply cutting his own wrist to cooperate with Lian's narrative and complete the grand act.

It was all to prove that the Holy Fruit was ineffective.

The antidote still had to rely on their own concoction and the cooperation of the pharmacists.

They didn't want to see Qiao Qiao become the target of public criticism, even though these target populations probably couldn't do anything to her.

But they just didn't want it; they didn't want Qiao Qiao to get such a bad reputation.

Qiao Mu knew their thoughts, but... she still didn't like seeing Duanmu Qing disregard his own life like that every time.

She glanced at him, then raised her hand and slapped a bottle of medicine into his hand. "One pill a day, for nourishing qi and blood."

Duanmu Qing froze, suddenly a bit speechless.

Oh my god, he only made two small cuts on his wrist. With his current cultivation level, does he really need to humorously supplement qi and blood?

"Men who don't cherish themselves are intolerable," Qiao Qiao waved her hand at him, her face cold. "Beware of qi and blood deficiency!"

Duanmu Qing had a blank expression, foolishly watching Qiao Qiao stomp down the stairs.

Suddenly, a hand reached out abruptly, snatching the medicine bottle from his hand, muttering, "Hey Duanmu, is this qi and blood nourishing medicine from Qiao Qiao? Your qi and blood look pretty good, why do you still need blood tonic?"

Duanmu Qing looked speechlessly at the little fatty in front of him.

He saw that the little fatty had already pulled out the cork and poured out a pill for him. "Since Qiao Qiao told you to take it, it must be good medicine for you. Eat it, eat it quickly, don't make Qiao Qiao worry."

Duanmu Qing gave him an expressionless glance, then silently took the porcelain bottle and tucked it into his embrace, then eyed the pill the little fatty held in his hand.

"Eat it quickly, don't let Qiao Qiao's kindness go to waste," the little fatty shoved the pill into his hand, urging repeatedly.

Duanmu Qing had no choice but to swallow the pill in one gulp.

The next second, he froze there, his entire face written with a huge character for "BITTER" (苦)!

Oh my god, Qiao Qiao, this troublemaker, this is truly not just ordinarily bitter; it's the first time in his life he's tasted medicine this bitter.
