Chapter 1221: Eccentric Old Geezer

Qiao Mu ran over and sat down on a rock beside him. She then picked up a spoon and stirred the contents of the pot with it.

After having a taste, her eyes couldn’t help but brighten. “It’s good.”

“Eat another bowl then.” Mo Lian pinched her small cheeks. “I have to put flesh on you again.”

Qiao Mu had just eaten several mouthfuls, but when she heard this, she shot him a glance before rubbing her face. “How am I skinny. I’m pretty much the same as before.”

Yet Mo Lian chuckled while shaking his head. “It’s way too different. Your chin was round before, but now it’s pointy.”

Qiao Mu stuck her tongue out at him and ladled another small bowl of porridge. However, before she could take a sip, a speedy figure flitted past them and snatched up that piping hot pot of porridge. He exclaimed with a hearty laugh, “Oh my, how fragrant! This old man just so happens to not have eaten breakfast yet!”

Holding her spoon, Qiao Mu gawked at the old geezer that suddenly popped out in front of her.

This old geezer was short and pudgy. However, his getup was quite incongruous. Even though he was wearing a landlord hat, his robes were made of linen and tied at the waist with a straw rope.

After sweeping that old geezer a glance, Mo Lian’s expression sank imperceptibly when Qiao Mu wasn’t looking.

“Who are you? Why have you snatched our food?” Qiao Mu stood up with the spoon in her hand and looked at that old geezer in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, the old geezer had already started scarfing down the porridge. He wasn’t afraid of getting scalded, only blowing at the porridge once before taking the next gulp. He was like a ravenous hungry ghost bolt, making short work of the large pot of porridge in a jiffy!

When he was finally done, his small beady eyes even locked onto the half-full bowl of porridge in Qiao Mu’s hands.

Qiao Mu reflexively shielded her small bowl and couldn’t resist asking, “What do you want?”

“Little lady, let me make a bet with you. If you can guard that bowl of porridge in your hands, this old man will grant any request you make.” After he said this, he lunged at her rapidly as he reached for her porridge bowl.

“Qiaoqiao, use talismans!”

*Swish—* Qiao Mu flicked out a teleportation talisman and instantly shifted several hundred meters away.

Just as the old geezer exclaimed in surprise while remarking in amusement that “this little lady has some chops,” he had already popped up behind her and reached for her head.

Such a fast movement technique!

While throwing out a teleportation talisman, Qiao Mu also hurled out 60 binding talismans to encircle the old geezer.

Yet it only took a mere several breaths for that old geezer to break out of the binding talisman matrix with a hearty laugh.

“Amazing, amazing, you are not inferior to that purported number one genius of the Divine Province’s talisman patrician family.” While giving his commentary with a smile, the old geezer made swift movements and directed his offense toward the bowl in Qiao Mu’s small hands.

From the looks of it, that old geezer was about to snatch away the bowl in her hands at any moment.

In her desperation, Darling Qiao threw back her head and chugged down the bowl of porridge. When she was done, she threw the bowl down at the ground and declared in a huff, “You weren’t able to snatch it!”

The old geezer halted in stupefaction and gaped at her for a split second before suddenly hooting with laughter.

On the side, Mo Lian also couldn’t help curling his lips in amusement as he watched this.

“Okay, okay, okay, this old man is willing to pay up. What request do you want me to grant you?”

Mo Lian quickly strode over to Qiao Mu and tugged at her small hand before whispering into her ear.

Qiao Mu gazed at Mo Lian in puzzlement but still parroted his words, “My request is that you have to take my side and support me unconditionally in the future.”

In truth, Qiao Mu was also mystified as to why Mo Lian told her to say that.
