“Are you a person?” Mo Lian flicked his sleeve, brushing all these little ones to the side.
He sat down on the side of the bed and caressed Qiao Mu’s forehead, his eyes worried. “Qiaoqiao, you’re too reckless.”
Qiao Mu blinked as she gazed at him quizzically. When she caught a glimpse of the little treant who was hiding next to a cabinet, she had a hunch.
“I thought you were only forging your skeleton from a mortal one to a mystic one. I didn’t expect you to have actually consumed a divine-rank pill.”
Qiao Mu promptly peered at the little treant who had snuck behind the cabinet and was looking at her guiltily.
It went without saying that it was the handiwork of this gremlin.
Like she said, this little fellow was unreliable! Sure enough, he wanted her to reach the heavens in a single bound!
Yet did he not consider that she was a mere elementary level-14 mystic cultivator. If she did not reach the heavens, her body would explode!
But when she peeked at her skeleton right now using her inner sight, she saw that it was glowing an extremely faint light yellow.
“I forged my bones into a spiritual skeleton?”
“More than that.” Mo Lian shook his head as he informed, “You forged your bones into a quasi-celestial skeleton.”
Mo Lian stroked his head helplessly. “With your body’s present defense, as long as you are not besieged by a dozen great spiritual cultivators at the same time, common spiritual cultivators level-10 and below will not be able to harm you.”
Qiao Mu’s eyes lit up. Her initial goal was to be able to defend against spiritual cultivators level-five and below without getting hurt. She did not expect that her bone forging this time would be this successful.
“What do you mean successful.” Mo Lian swatted her forehead. He gruffly scooped her up and nibbled her petite face. “You just become so reckless when I don’t keep an eye on you.”
“How about I keep watch next to you when you enter closed-door cultivation in the future.”
However, Darling Qiao promptly shook her head like a rattle-drum. “No can do, no can do. How can I settle my mind with you beside me.”
When Mo Lian heard this, his phoenix eyes brightened, and he cuddled her in his arms. “Why? When you see me, your heart flutters right?”
Qiao Mu was both irritated and amused as she whacked him. “Stop spouting nonsense.”
“How am I spouting nonsense. Why aren’t you admitting it.” Mo Lian nuzzled her head. “How about now, how are you feeling right now.”
“How am I feeling?” Qiao Mu tilted her head before suddenly pinching his face. “I feel a bit hungry!”
“You haven’t eaten for four to five days.” Mo Lian pulled her up from the bed while staring straight at her.
Qiao Mu looked down at herself. “What are you staring at me like this for.”
“Look.” Mo Lian stuffed a bronze mirror in her hands. When Qiao Mu took a look, she couldn’t help but be stunned too.
It turned out that after forging her bones, her skin became even more fine and smooth, and her fair and tender petite face glowed. Her almond eyes, with light flittering through them as she glanced about, were gorgeous.
“So delectable.” Mo Lian lifted her up with one arm, but then he creased his brows. “You got skinny again.”
“Someone, prepare a meal!” Mo Lian muttered as he carried her to the table, “Qiaoqiao, you have to eat an extra bowl of rice every day. That way you can quickly grow tall and plump.”
Even so, she already didn’t harbor any extravagant hopes of growing tall.
After rolling her eyes at him, Qiao Mu dragged a stool over and sat down next to him. “No incidents occurred while I was in closed-door cultivation right.”
“Nope, it’s been so tranquil that I’ve been bored from doing nothing.”
“If you must say that there was a big affair, then it might be that the king has betrothed Commandery Princess Yi’an to the Vassal Prince of An’nan.”
