3078 Deadpan Comical
Even Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal found it challenging to endure this round of self-praise from Mo Lian. She, somewhat perplexed, asked, “Have you informed them?”
Before long, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s tent was brimming with people.
Qi Xuanxuan, Liang Qingqing, and Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao occupied a seating area, while Situ Yi and the others attempted to find available space. Those without seats had no choice but to stand for the time being.
“We’ll depart early tomorrow morning. The terrain on the opposite side of the canyon is challenging, and I predict rain will commence in the afternoon given the current weather,” Mo Lian informed. “There’s a narrow path ahead, and the rocky mountains on both sides create a crevice along that Dao.”
“I suspect there might be an ambush waiting for us.”
Situ Yi and the others were taken aback. “What?”
“Who would dare to set up an ambush there?”
Duanmu Qing interjected, “Crown Prince, are you suggesting that Heavenly Fate might ambush us on that road?”
“For heaven’s sake, can’t Heavenly Fate give it a rest?”
“What is Heavenly Fate up to?”
“Attacking us at the Spring River wasn’t enough? Are they still unwilling to let us go?”
Duan Yue, nonchalant, remarked, “The zombie crocodiles in the Spring River were just appetizers. The main event is yet to unfold. The crucial thing is for everyone to be mentally prepared. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
“Tomorrow’s journey might be more challenging. Additionally, this area remains a no-fly zone, so we must exercise caution,” Crown Prince Mo added.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao sat there expressionless, casually retrieving a dried fruit and continuing to chew without uttering a word.
Everyone turned to her, struggling to stifle their laughter.
This child’s stoic countenance seemed to declare, “Don’t talk to me.” Apart from the rhythmic chewing of her small mouth, she resembled a miniature jade statue.
Seated alone on the plush couch, she calmly observed the others.
Situ Yi promptly reflected on his actions and sincerely apologized to the little lady. “Qiaoqiao, my apologies for earlier. I shouldn’t have laughed so indiscreetly. Please forgive me, and don’t ignore me!”
Indeed, Senior Brother should internalize his mirth! Even if it results in his demise from suppressed laughter, he must refrain from bursting into laughter…
Liang Qingqing struggled to restrain her amusement.
“I completely endorse your diagnosis! Wholeheartedly!” Situ Yi declared with a serious expression. “Those who grin foolishly are undoubtedly uncultured. They lack an understanding of medicine. What’s amusing about such a serious matter?”
Immediately, everyone shot him disapproving glances.
Weren’t you the one laughing the loudest just now?
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao glanced at them, snorted, and then waved her hand, producing a box from her inner world. “Distribute elixirs! We’ll be setting off tomorrow.”
“Understood!”
Suppressing their laughter behind their hands, everyone nodded in agreement.
“Oh, Qiaoqiao, when will your diminutive figure recover? Mm, mmm, mmm, mmm!” Wei Nanfeng attempted to continue teasing but was swiftly covered by Lightning, who charged forward and dragged him out of the yurt.
Talk about getting your comeuppance!
Did he really want to incur Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s scolding?
“Hey, Lightning, why are you covering my mouth?”
