My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

3077 Flower in the Stone

“If the rain becomes too heavy, it could trigger a landslide. It would be unfortunate if our path is blocked by the quilt.”

“Moreover, this area is designated as a no-fly zone. Delaying our departure won’t be advantageous.”

Upon hearing this, Holy Son Miyan nodded solemnly. “The Crown Prince’s words hold merit. We’ll head to the Spring River this afternoon to check if anyone has been left behind by the quilt. After a night’s rest, we’ll commence our journey early tomorrow morning.”

Satisfied that he was being heard, Mo Lian nodded and turned to stride toward his yurt.

With Holy Son Miyan spearheading the afternoon’s search and rescue mission, there shouldn’t be significant issues.

Inside the yurt, Mo Lian found Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao reclining against a fur-covered couch, munching on a jar of dried fruits with cheeks puffed.

Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal sat casually at a low table, sipping tea. Upon Mo Lian’s entrance, she blinked and smiled. “Ah, you’ve reached an agreement with Miyan?”

Box

Mo Lian affirmed, “We’ll set out tomorrow morning.”

Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal cast a glance at the little lady.

Mo Lian observed her silence, still engrossed in chewing on the dried fruit. His little lady remained upset about the earlier incident. When angered, she sought solace in delectable treats.

Crown Prince Mo found it amusing but refrained from laughing outright. He cleared his throat and said, “Qiaoqiao, while scouting the vicinity with them, I spotted a flower growing on a rock. Its beauty captivated me, so I plucked it for you.”

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao turned her petite head to inquire, “Where’s the flower?”

Feng Chen set down his teacup and rolled his eyes. “Never mind! There’s a giant python coiled behind that flower. I’ve waited 200 years for this stone flower to bloom, but you swiped it away.”

Crown Prince Mo produced a small flower emitting a gentle white light from his inner world and handed it to Qiao Mu. “It’s beautiful, my wife.”

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao eagerly nodded, delicately receiving the stone flower from his hands. The lingering discontent from earlier evaporated, replaced by a radiant smile. “Qiuqiu! Plant it for Master.”

The stone flower seemed exceptionally valuable. She pondered whether Qiuqiu could cultivate more of them.

It held great potential for reproduction.

In the future, they could harvest the plant and refine it into a versatile body-strengthening pill. Even those paralyzed for over a decade could experience gradual recovery, as long as they didn’t succumb immediately after consumption.

A hint of joy finally flickered in Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s eyes. “Earlier, Peach Blossom mentioned a guardian beast watching over the stone flower. Did you confront it?”

“Nope.” Crown Prince Mo adopted a seemingly innocent expression as he addressed his wife. “How could I do such a thing? I merely took its flowers; there was no need to harm its life. Right, Qiaoqiao?”

The little lady nodded earnestly, finding her Hubby’s actions entirely trustworthy.

Duan Yue, entering through the curtain at that moment, overheard Mo Lian’s self-praise. Rolling his eyes, he sighed, “He didn’t attack it. He just revealed a hand of black fire, scaring the snake into immediate retreat.”

The little stoic observed the exchange with indifference.

Enough with the mutual accusations!

Based on her knowledge of them, there was an 80% chance that the unfortunate snake wasn’t frightened away by Mo Lian alone. It was likely scared off by the combined efforts of the trio.

Crown Prince Mo broke into laughter. “Why spread such baseless gossip? We’re all civilized individuals; we wouldn’t engage in such heinous acts.”

Duan Yue rolled his eyes once again.
