Chapter 3079 Rescue
"Hmph!" Lady Qiaoqiao, with evident displeasure, waved her hand angrily. "I"m heading to Paradise Planet for a nap! Don"t disturb me unless it"s urgent!"
Qiao Mu only emerged from Paradise Planet as the sun began to set.
Having enjoyed a restful sleep, she woke up and crafted numerous talismans to replenish the speed and five-spirit talismans she had utilized to evade Second Qin.
Lady Qiaoqiao stretched, a contented smile on her face, as she carried a few rainbow divine fish. Stepping out of the yurt school, she called out, "Hubby."
Mo Lian remained silent, engrossed in playing with the rainbow divine fish, his little companion.
However, the neighboring yurt lifted its curtain, and Qi Xuanxuan hurriedly approached with a smile. "Ah, you"re awake, my Qiao! Crown Prince Mo and His Highness the Chen Prince have both invited His Excellency the Holy Son to the riverside."
"Oh." Qiao Mu nodded affirmatively. "Then I"ll roast fis.h.!.+"
Qi Xuanxuan"s expression twitched, and she quickly interjected, "No, no, Fatty is here! You can"t be bothered with such trivial matters! Fatty, Little Fatty!"
Little Fatty returned from his errand and straightened his robes. "What"s the commotion? He"s here, he"s here."
"Fat basher, let"s eat fish tonight. Take care of it!"
"Leave it to me!" Little Fatty, catching Qi Xuanxuan"s subtle hint, gladly accepted a few rainbow divine fish from Lady Qiaoqiao. "These fish are really lively."
Suspiciously eyeing them, Lady Qiaoqiao noticed their behavior. "Are you two appalled by my culinary skills?"
"No, no, no!" Little Fatty and Qi Xuanxuan hastily gestured, suppressing their amus.e.m.e.nt. "We just empathize with you. Don"t overexert yourself, okay!"
Lady Qiaoqiao harrumphed at them and turned towards the river. "I"ll go check on my Lian."
Qi Xuanxuan nodded and instinctively covered her mouth to conceal her delight.
"Xuanxuan, wasn"t your reaction a bit too p.r.o.nounced just now? Be cautious not to reveal too much in front of Qiaoqiao."
"I think my reaction was perfectly normal."
"But she did suspect you."
Whispering to him, Qi Xuanxuan said, "You"re right. Qiaoqiao is quite sharp. In the future, we should avoid letting her handle any cooking. We need to employ more indirect methods. Being too straightforward might raise her suspicions."
"Mhm, hm." The plump boy nodded emphatically. "We can"t let her think you guys dislike her cooking."
Qi Xuanxuan gave him a sidelong glance and pouted. "You"re making it sound like you don"t mind."
By the expansive Spring River, Qiao Mu could see a gathering of people in the distance. The Holy Son"s authoritative voice echoed repeatedly in her ears.
"Bring them up, bring them up!"
"It"s safe."
"Cough, cough, cough." Several students from Hong Estate Academy were lifted and placed on the ground.
"Turn them over and over, make them spit out the water!" The Holy Son gestured as someone approached, flipping the students and patting their backs to help them expel the water they had swallowed.
"Cough, cough, cough." One Hong Estate Academy student wiped water off his face, coughing a few times.
"Little friend, are you okay?" Dou Fengmian a.s.sisted the student, taking his pulse. "Your body seems fine, just a bit weak. Rest for a day or two, and you"ll recover."
"Thank you very much, Brother." The student from Hong Estate Academy expressed grat.i.tude, nodding as Dou Fengmian guided him to the side.
