Chapter 66: Parting

The child harrumphed.

Mo Lian poked her stoic little face with amusement. “Besides storing items, the Heart of Paradise can also absorb mystic energy from the outside world and store it. However, remember to avoid notice when you take out the Heart of Paradise, and above all else, you must be careful.”

Qiao Mu nodded and inwardly agreed. She had no desire of attracting a massacre from some sect, so she should not be so pleased as to lose her senses and must be cautious when she used it.

“The supplies that you want should be arriving the day after tomorrow. Remember to receive it.”

As expected of the high and mighty Crown Prince, he gathered supplies so quickly even in such a remote and desolate little mountain village.

Although Qiao Mu’s stoic little face did not contain any emotion, Mo Lian could sense that the little girl was very happy.

Yu Xiu silently trailed after his lord. Seeing how his lord prattled on without an end in sight, Yu Xiu glanced at Qiao Mu with mixed feelings.

When had he seen His Highness the Crown Prince carefully instruct other people like this? This vicious little girl inexplicably suited His Highness’ taste.

Qiao Mu turned her head and met his eyes. Her bright and round eyes blinked, and she suddenly asked, “Um… Madam Wu, where did you send her?”

The Crown Prince acted truly fast. The woman, Wu Yanzhen, had disappeared from the village the night of the fire. The next day, her husband rallied a group of people and pilfered through the village and its surrounding areas, looking for her.

Unfortunately, even if they dug three meters into the ground, his wife still would not be recovered.

The crown prince lightly chuckled and looked at Xiao Qiaoqiao as he answered, “Don’t worry, I tossed her into the magnetite mines in Black City for mining work. That place is like a black hole, you can enter but you can not leave. She won’t be able to come out unless she’s a corpse.”

Qiao Mu’s eyes glinted. She had heard of Black City before. It was fairly close to the Western Wilderness and was technically the central hub of Heavenly Dao Sect’s mining.

In a bitter and cold place like that, a person had to labor and mine the entire day. She reckoned it was a hellish life for Madam Wu who had lived a pampered lifestyle until now.

“Store all of this safely.” Crown Prince Lian casually stuffed an embroidered cloth pouch in her hands before carrying her and leaping up. He stepped over the raging fire and traversed through the smoky stone forest.

Qiao Mu opened the pouch and peered inside. When she saw that it was all sorts of high-grade ointments with different effects like hemostasis, painkilling, removing scars, dispelling bruises, etc., she hurriedly threw it in her pocket and cheerfully accepted it all with a smile.

Mo Lian walked toward Qiaotou Village in the air with the child, his steps no different from when he walked on flat ground. Qiao Mu sneaked a few looks at him with mixed feelings and finally spoke after pondering over it for a while. “You…”

“Hm?”

“The road to the capital is long, so be careful. If you encounter monsters that move slowly and are rotting from head to toe, you’re better off distancing yourself from them.”

However, with his inhuman strength, he should not come to harm even if he encountered zombies completely blind.

Mo Lian slightly raised his eyebrows. Although he did not really understand the child’s meaning, he still nodded and could not resist squeezing her cheeks. “Are you worried for me, Little One?”

“Scram!” Xiao Qiaoqiao furiously kicked his white robes, adding another dark footprint on him!

“No pinching my cheeks!”

Following behind them, Yu Xiu felt his lips twitch as he looked at the duo in front of him. He could not help but find something amiss with this manner of interaction!

What was amiss?

After thinking it through long and hard, Yu Xiu slapped his thigh in realization. How could his handsome and magnificent lord who is favored by people and flowers alike keep getting trounced on by this little girl and suffer beatings so constantly!
