Chapter 3054 Tricked
The pet.i.te one waved her hand impatiently and cast a glance at Mo Lian, who sported a faint smile. "Hurry up and release your divine consciousness!"
Mo Lian nodded and gently brushed her pet.i.te head. Just as he was about to depart, carrying her in his arms, the female leader of the aborigines approached briskly.
She knelt before Mo Lian with a thud, repeatedly uttering words that no one could comprehend.
Qiao Mu was perplexed as she observed the native female leader, then looked up at Mo Lian embracing her.
Crown Prince Mo maintained a composed expression as he conversed with the female leader before turning to Duan Yue. "They"ve invited us to spend the night at their tribe."
Duan Yue glanced at the rudimentary cave and nodded. "Alright."
Upon receiving their agreement, the female leader and her companions appeared jubilant. Throughout the journey, they engaged Mo Lian in conversation using a peculiar language.
Every now and then, Mo Lian responded, causing the female leader to dance with joy.
"What are you guys talking about?" Qiao Mu asked Dao Seeking apathetically.
"Could you speak in a language that Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao understands?" Mo Lian wanted to break free and laugh. Holding Qiaoqiao, he spoke softly, "Their female leader is named Da Wa, and the elderly man is their tribe"s wise man, Hook."
"Did they attempt to rob us just now?"
"Mhm, yes." Qiao Mu blinked with a curious expression on her adorable face.
Moments ago, the female leader, Da Wa, had finished declaring, "I"m the one who opened this road." For some reason, she suddenly became timid.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao was contemplating that if anyone dared to rob her, she would give them a beating. In the end, her pet.i.te yet formidable demeanor proved advantageous.
Mo Lian lowered his head to look at Qiao and couldn"t help but think of the adorable pile of darlings moving gold in the Punishment Tower.
One after another, she scaled the golden mountain. Her eyes gleamed with the l.u.s.ter of gold, and her pet.i.te hands and feet expertly manipulated the golden terrain.
"How fascinating. My heart is on the verge of melting from this child"s adorableness."
Mo Lian bent down and, with a smile, explained, "They migrated all the way here from the sands beyond the w.a.n.gchuan Sea."
"With such a sizable group, they naturally hesitated to enter the city recklessly."
Qiao Mu nodded knowingly. She was well aware that if these several hundred people simultaneously approached the city, it would undoubtedly trigger the vigilance of the city guards, potentially leading to a large-scale conflict.
"They intend to stay in the Red River tribe temporarily and submit entry doc.u.ments to nearby cities."
"Given our shortage of goods and the fact that the Red River Canyon area belongs to the Red River tribe, any hunting or gathering activities require paying rent to them."
"So, they sought a transaction that didn"t involve money. However, as the exchange commenced, they unexpectedly encountered me materializing out of nowhere." Mo Lian whispered in her ear. "The natives believe in the heavens and view this as a warning from the divine, signaling them against committing wrongful deeds."
Qiao Mu nodded, thinking, No wonder they regarded Mo Lian with such reverence. Could it be that Mo Lian, appearing out of thin air, is an emissary sent by the High Heavens?
"How do you know the natives" language?"
"I"m not an expert." Mo Lian winked at her, flaunting a satisfied expression. "Impressed by your hubby"s talents?"
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao nodded instinctively.
Mo Lian chuckled. "Did you use a peculiar talisman to transform yourself like this?"
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao nodded her pet.i.te head again, then suddenly realized…
