Chapter 672: Don’t Bully It

Chapter 672: Don’t Bully It

Qiao Mu nodded her small head in satisfaction. “Courtesan Zheng was very happy, right.”

“Correct.” Xiao’ye continued, “Consort Zheng bestowed many gifts to State Uncle Zheng on the spot, including fine jade, precious stones, gold, and silver, but their value can’t compare one bit to the 103 pieces of high-grade magnetite State Uncle Zheng paid up. Sir Zheng could only suffer in silence and returned to his estate listlessly.”

Qiao Mu smirked. “Just let Courtesan Zheng slowly enjoy that beautifying pill.”

By the time Shaoyao returned with the porridge, Xiao’ye had already left after being dismissed.

A faint knock came from the window, but Qiao Mu didn’t turn around. She merely kept her focus on the white snakelet that had practically buried half its head into the bowl of porridge.

Unexpectedly, this snakelet paid particular attention to how it ate. After the entire bowl of millet porridge entered its stomach, it even raised its small head up halfway, gesturing to Shaoyao with its eyes to pick up the white cloth beside it and wipe it down.

Shaoyao muttered “Holy sh*t” before hastily picking up the white cloth to wipe its snake head, which caused Qiao Mu to involuntarily break out in laughter.

The next second, she felt her body lightening, and she had already landed into a warm and comfortable embrace before she knew it.

“Qiaoqiao, I knocked on the window but you ignored me,” Mo Lian griped pitifully.

“You’ll come inside whether or not I respond to you.” Qiao Mu turned to cast him a glance, poking his chest with her finger. “When are we heading out for Beilan?”

“In two days, most likely. Royal Father opposed vehemently after I told him our plans, so I have to persuade him.”

“What the heck is he opposing for? It’s not like you’re going to Beilan for fun, you’re going to patrol a food production base! It’s an important matter that concerns the kingdom and the people! His kingship is truly a rather easy one, restricting you to the palace all day long to handle state affairs in his stead!”

Mo Lian gave a low chuckle while cupping his darling’s small face in his hands. He looked at her attentively as he said, “Qiaoqiao, you’re feeling upset for your husband!”

Jabbing at him with her small hand, Qiao Mu merely rolled her eyes at him. “We’re leaving in three days at the latest!”

“Okay.” Mo Lian circled her small waist with his arms as he rocked her slender body and said, “I’ll listen to you.”

When he inadvertently glanced to the side afterwards, he met the white snakelet’s protruding eyes.

Mo Lian’s expression changed, and he grabbed towards that white snake at lightning speed.

Yet in the blink of an eye, like lightning, the white snakelet glided in mid-air with a whoosh. Its snake body abruptly shrunk to about an inch in length, escaping Mo Lian’s grab.

“Eh?” Qiao Mu widened her eyes.

This white snakelet could actually shrink into this small of a size, as well as swiftly and successfully escape Mo Lian’s grab?

Masta! There’s a bad guy here who wants to capture me! With a wriggle of its body, the white snakelet rapidly flew towards Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu subconsciously shrunk her small frame, hastily hiding both her small hands in Mo Lian’s embrace.

After turning her head for a look, she saw the white snakelet, which had abruptly halted in mid-air after flying over halfway, writhing its small body like so, its eyes tearing up as it gazed pitifully at her.

Uh… Why did she feel like she had bullied the snake?

But it was chilly and wriggly, and it had such an awful feel. She was unwilling to touch it from the bottom of her heart!

MASTA!! The white snakelet’s large, cute eyes were actually shedding tears at this point.

Qiao Mu: !

You’re a cold-blooded animal! Why are you like a human, possessing various emotions and desires, and know how to cry?

Mo Lian immediately gazed vigilantly at this stupid snake that was trying to act cute, and with a flick of his finger, a bewitching red light shot towards the cold-blooded animal.

Yet just as the streak of fire was about to spring onto the white snakelet’s snakeskin.

Qiao Mu jumped up abruptly!
