Dunzhu’s face instantly fell. “Peony, the Little Despot, Feng Chen, and the rest are all leaving too?”
“Mhm.” Mo Lian nodded and patted his shoulder. “Thank you for your hard work. Once we get to the Divine Province, we’ll keep a lookout for a more suitable body for you.”
“Re-really?” Dunzhu was ecstatic.
“Of course.” Mo Lian nodded. “We’ll be leaving the Six Prefectures’ affairs in your hands. Even though Guan Zhaotang surrendered a wisp of his soul to Qiaoqiao and is thus under our control, there are still many things… that you can not overly trust him.”
“Guan Zhaotang’s antidote is in the storage talisman I gave you. You only need to give him one pill on the first day of each month. Keep him in control for your use.” Mo Lian looked at him profoundly. “Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, I understand.” Dunzhu nodded repeatedly.
“You have to continue with the selection of elites and their training. Do not fall behind in this project.”
“Yes, yes. I will properly train the Shuntian Defense.”
After giving Dunzhu several more instructions, Mo Lian walked back to Qiao Mu and Guan Zhaotang.
Guan Zhaotang was a bit fearful and backed away when he saw Mo Lian.
“Alright, there’s nothing else. You two can leave now.”
Dunzhu stood up and cupped his hands. “Then we will take our leave. Little Master, I wish you safe travels.”
Qiao Mu nodded and looked at Guan Zhaotang frostily. “If I find out that you mean to betray me and refuse to listen to Prefecture Lord Geng’s orders, you will be like this rock.”
A surging wave suddenly shot out from her palm and smashed a large rock at Guan Zhaotang’s feet into crumbling bits with a bam.
Guan Zhaotang’s heart jolted. He turned and saluted to Qiao Mu, repeatedly saying, “I don’t dare,” before quickly leaving with Dunzhu.
Qiao Mu gazed after him coldly.
“Once Dunzhu has taken charge of Anyi Prefecture, there is no need for Guan Zhaotang to exist,” the little fellow stated icily.
“I’m afraid it’s not that easy.” Mo Lian smiled. “Guan Zhaotang isn’t stupid, so he should understand what you mean. He will guard against you.”
“Humph.” Qiao Mu grasped her dear hubby’s palm. “Who cares about him! The Six Prefectures isn’t my goal anyway.”
The place she was going to go was the Divine Province!
What she was going to trample was also the Divine Province.
“I wonder if those people who owe me a debt are prepared yet after all their schemes of stopping me from stepping onto the Divine Province.”
Mo Lian chuckled. “I guess that they are prepared.”
They had probably already scrubbed their necks for the chopping block!
“Qiaoqiao, go bathe and then rest a while. Later I’ll have the sapling bring me into Fish Orchid Planet.”

Qiao Mu nodded on the surface, but she didn’t let go of his waist. She was staring at him with her large eyes.
The crown prince’s heart was nearly melting from her gaze. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. He cooed, “Qiaoqiao, look, I’m not going anywhere. I’m here together with you.”
“If you miss me, you can just enter Fish Orchid Planet to see me.”
After contemplating about it, Qiao Mu nodded and released his waist.
“Alright, quickly go and wash up. Aren’t you hot?” Mo Lian caressed her petite head and shooed her to her room.
Once her figure disappeared from sight, his gentle demeanor slowly cooled.
It was as if his handsome face had frosted over.
