NovelEnglishMo Lian reached out to cup her small chin, and he gently nipped her lips in earnest. He then said with a chuckle, "I really am not lying."
"Qiaoqiao, have you ever seen me lie to you all these years you've known me? I naturally won't lie to you." He nuzzled the side of her face with his cheek. "Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, even if I lie to the whole world, I won't lie to you."
Qiao Mu felt a bit more reassured in her heart.
She understood Mo Lian quite well.
As long as he promised to do something, he would most likely resolve it perfectly within the time limit.
Therefore…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy saying five months, he would probably be using less than that amount of time!
The sapling Qiuqiu was most likely scaring her by talking about that one-hundred-year prison sentence!
Where's the sapling? The sapling!! She was going to kill him later!
"Okay, I believe you!" Qiao Mu nodded and said, "Five months, five months at the very latest. You must come and find me then! You can't be late, otherwise I'll ignore you!"
"Okay." Mo Lian hugged this capricious little fellow as he nodded in acknowledgment.
"Wait! From when do I start counting?"
Mo Lian was startled, and then he remarked with both amusement and exasperation, "I haven't left yet! Of course it starts from the day we part."
Qiao Mu puffed out her petite cheeks as she cast him a look with her large, radiant, and vivacious eyes. "Not today?"
Mo Lian: …
Why did he suddenly want to laugh at this matter that was originally supposed to be a bit sorrowful?
His little stoic darling was truly too comical. Mo Lian hugged her the entire time, unable to tear himself away from her. He said softly, "Let's return to the Eastern Palace. I still have to tell you something."
On the way back, Mo Lian filled Qiao Mu in with the details about Siming Manor's high priest.
"No wonder the high priest was willing to announce news as important as the phoenix egg to the public. So they had this in mind." Qiao Mu concluded with a shake of her head, "Looks like those people from Heavenly Fate are no longer satisfied with the current situation. They want to stretch their evil talons toward mystic cultivators and body cultivators too."
"Their experiments needed further enhancement! But unfortunately, there were a bit too few mystic cultivators and body cultivators inside their organization to utilize, so they had designs on the eight great patrician families and the sects."

"But unfortunately, they underestimated your capability. You exterminated the entire underground base in Mystic Beast Forest in one fell swoop instead!"
Mo Lian curled his lips as he nuzzled his face joyfully against Qiao Mu's petite body. "Is Qiaoqiao worshipping Hubby."
Qiao Mu nodded as she praised without reservation, "You truly are… the smartest person I have ever seen."
As she said this, she seemed to have thought of something and remarked with a frown, "But it's a pity that that high priest and eldest heavenly maiden died before we were able to get any information out of them."
Mo Lian grunted with a "mhm," but then he said with a smile, "Not necessarily. Duan Yue will definitely have searched their souls. Although the results of the soul search won't be great since these two people have already died, it is still better than nothing."
The two people had planned to rest when they returned to the Eastern Palace. However, that zombie army was so unable to bear the loneliness that it had started to attack the Mo Kingdom capital clamorously even before it got late into the night.
This was a full two hours before the time that Mo Lian had estimated.
Even so, it did not make much of a difference since they had already finished preparations early on anyway.
