Chapter 1217: Practice More
After exchanging glances, everyone suddenly guffawed in laughter.
Qiao Mu gave a harrumph. As she motioned for the curtain to be let down, she saw a dozen husky men rushing out from the House of Treasures. They stared in terror at the deep pit several meters wide that was carved out by the Core Ravaging Thunder.
Because the water mist and earthen walls had shielded the blast, this was only a small-scale explosion that did not cause any other damage.
However, this huge explosion was enough to make the entire Mo Kingdom capital quake.
The people inside the House of Treasures streamed out like tidewater.
Without that fatso manager commanding them, the hired thugs completely lost their backbone and turned into cats on a hot tin roof.
They could only watch on helplessly as the guests rushed out the House of Treasures’ main door and fled helter-skelter.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu and the others had left quietly.
Soon afterwards, the sullen-faced eldest prince, who was out incognito, was escorted into the House of Treasures through the back door.
When the crown prince received this news, he merely cast a light glance at the jade messenger talisman before erasing the message.
He turned around to look at the little fellow who was busy refining medicine seriously under the lamplight and sighed lightly.
Look at how anxious the little one was. In reality, it was simply impossible for the poison in his body to break out that quickly since he was still able to suppress it in the short term.
After almost an hour, Qiao Mu finally stopped her work and ran up to him, rambling, “I just knew it, I still lack primary-rank herbs. I’m still missing two primary-rank herbs here, but take this antidote pill for now. Tomorrow, when we go to the Mystic Beast Forest and purchase Captain’s primary-rank herbs, I’ll have gathered all the herbs to detoxify the devil grass poison.”
“What are you still working on, go to sleep right now.” Mo Lian scooped her up by the waist and carried her to the bed.
“Mo Lian.”
Yet Mo Lian looked down at her and commented while frowning, “Earlier, when you forgot me for several days, you called me ‘Hubby’ then.”
Qiao Mu pettishly rolled her eyes at him. “Liar! If I didn’t even remember you, why would I still call you ‘Hubby’?”
Mo Lian: …
“Don’t know what to say huh.”
“Cough.” After setting her down, Mo Lian sat on the edge of the bed and fixed her hair. “Because I told you, my name is ‘Hubby.’”
Qiao Mu: …
Are you aware of your deceit toward me?
“Aren’t I especially clever?” He drew near and coaxed with a grin, “Call me ‘Hubby’ again right now.”
At his words, the little fellow’s face blushed red. She originally wanted to push his face aside, but when she saw him looking at her so yearningly, her heart couldn’t help but soften.
“Hub… Hubby.” Just as she uttered this, she saw that deceitful fellow close in and hug her. He then sealed her small mouth in a long kiss and practically snatched away all the air in her lungs!
So infuriating!
Didn’t I just call you ‘Hubby’ one time? Was it okay for you to be such a beast?
“Qiaoqiao, I feel unwell,” he whimpered while looking at her pitifully.
“You, you feel unwell…” my ass! She was the one who was unwell. Because he had snatched all the air away in one long breath, her chest ached from being smothered!
“Mhm, it feels unwell everywhere. Here, there, my whole body feels unwell.” He slumped against her and kept snuggling against her, to the point that she also started feeling unwell too.
Her heart throbbed uncontrollably like crazy. It was so freaking maddening!
“Qiaoqiao, when I kissed you earlier, you gave no response at all.” Mo Lian winked at her. “Since we don’t have much experience, shouldn’t we practice a few more times?”
