Chapter 2994 Good Luck Comes
Chen Baojia, caught in her panic, lost her footing and helplessly tumbled.
Ba Shu swiftly advanced, catching Miss Chen in his strong arms.
A rush of astral winds assailed her as she propelled herself. Chen Baojia, a mix of embarrassment and indignation, pushed against the sturdy chest that cradled her.
Yet, her cultivation was overpowered by Ba Shu's, rendering her powerless against a level-12 grand spiritual cultivator. Thus, Miss Chen descended from the air-transportation spiritual tool within the secure embrace of Ba Shu.
The howling wind drowned out Chen Baojia's muffled protests.
Zhongli Zhiwei, though secretly amused, had long detected the humiliation suffered by Chen Baojia beneath the quilt. She had been coldly observing the spectacle.
Chen Baojia typically presented herself as an exceptionally virtuous and agreeable individual, giving the impression that she could get along with anyone, including the young ladies in Longyan City.
However, in reality, she was quite pretentious.
Zhongli Zhiwei experienced a measure of satisfaction seeing her taken advantage of by the bearded viscount.
It served him right for competing with His Highness the Crown Prince over this woman!
You think you're all that just because you're the Prime Minister's daughter, huh!
Let's see if she still has the audacity to vie with me for that position in the future.
Zhongli Zhiwei was secretly delighted with herself. Apart from Chen Baojia, it was as if she alone could capture the heart of His Highness the Crown Prince.
If Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao were to find out, she'd surely be flabbergasted.
Zhongli Zhiwei had an inexplicable confidence in herself. In fact, His Highness the Crown Prince barely paid her any mind. Yet, Zhongli Zhiwei was resolute in her ambition to secure her place in the Eastern Palace and become the most revered woman in the Divine Province.
The entire group descended from the sky, their cultivations well above the spiritual realm, ensuring a safe landing.
Although the North Wangda Forest lay beneath them, the use of the air-transportation spiritual tool necessitated an early landing. As a result, they found themselves near the northern teleportation array by no mere coincidence.
Upon Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao's descent, she inadvertently stepped on the tail of a small spiritual beast, startling the creature. It emitted a squeak and made a futile attempt to escape.
Regrettably, the creature's tail remained pinned beneath Qiaoqiao's foot, causing it to bounce and nearly snap its tail. Subsequently, it threw a fit, rolling on the ground and shrieking.
The moment Qi Xuanxuan alighted, she happened to catch sight of Qiaoqiao's perplexed expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao raised her petite foot indifferently and observed the little spiritual beast's irrational antics on the ground with bewilderment.
What had just transpired?
She certainly hadn't intended to step on the creature.
Once the little spiritual beast realized its tail was free, it swiftly rose and rolled into the grass. After a brief moment, it reappeared, poking its tiny head from the grass. It extended a shiny object towards Qiao Mu's feet, emitted two squeaks, and flicked its little tail before darting away into the grass.
Mo Lian found himself at a loss.
Why did he feel like his wife was attracting attention everywhere she went?
After inadvertently stepping on the tail of a small beast, the creature had surprisingly presented his wife with a gift before scampering off. It was almost too much to fathom!
With an indifferent expression, Qiao Mu extended her hand to retrieve the shiny object, which landed in her palm.
"It's actually the core of a level-10 fire spiritual beast," Mo Lian marveled, rendered momentarily speechless.
