Chapter 1339: Recovery

“I didn’t.” This rainstorm came down quite hard, and the chilly raindrops pattered against the window.

Mo Lian draped a cloak lined with silver thread around Qiao Mu before pulling her to sit at the table. “I’ll go out to take a look later. You stay inside and don’t come out.”

However, Qiao Mu shook her head, objecting, “I also want to go out to take a look.”

Mo Lian’s grip on her hands froze, and just as he was about to dissuade her, a knock was heard on the door.

He turned his head and airily instructed, “Come in.”

A line of servants filed in with trays of food. Once inside, they curtsied deferentially before setting the food on the table one by one.

“Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?”

Mo Lian waved his hand to dismiss them, and then, while holding Qiao Mu’s petite hand, he coaxed, “It’s raining hard outside. I’ll go take a look first, and if there’s any activity I’ll call for you.”

“You got injured today.” He pulled her into his arms as he murmured, “Don’t let me worry anymore.”

Qiao Mu made a frown before nodding in resignation.

“Stay here and eat.” Mo Lian held her petite hands as he lightly kissed the side of her forehead. Afterwards, he released his grip and smiled faintly at her.

Subsequently, he stood up and quickly strode outside. The moment Crown Prince Mo walked out the door, he called out towards the next room, “Duan Yue, what are you waiting for.”

Duan Yue heaved a long sigh before flashing to his side. “You never call me whenever it’s something good, but you always bring me when it’s something annoying!”

“Say, where are you guys going? I’ll go, I’ll go too!” Situ Yi also darted out of his room quickly before catching up to them.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu propped her chin on her hand as she picked up her chopsticks and jabbed the food on the plates. After taking two random bites, her eyes wandered back to the rain outside the window.

Actually, those minor injuries of hers…

Qiao Mu gently lifted a corner of her garment and saw the glossy skin on her left abdomen.

She was also a bit confused.

The old witch’s fire dragon had clearly swept this part of her body with its tail, but before she could even treat it with any medicine, this wound magically disappeared on its own.

She had asked Qiuqiu if it was due to its wood spiritual energy’s overflowing vitality, but Qiuqiu also found it strange, remarking that even the wood spirit’s restoration did not occur so quickly.

If the injuries were to heal completely though, she would have to take until tomorrow.

But now, her injuries had already healed by themselves while she was unaware.

Additionally, she could not feel anything wrong with her internal organs, which had taken a hit from the black double-headed crow’s acoustic attack. They must have gotten healed together.

This was rather weird, alright!

While propping up her chin, she stuffed a piece of braised meat that looked appetizing into her mouth and chewed on it. Afterwards, she knitted her brows and spat it out.

The texture was tough and unpalatable. It was obvious that the ingredients had been sitting for a while and were no longer fresh.

But at this time of year, it was already quite good to be able to pig out on food like they did at the City Lord’s Estate. Qiao Mu was never too picky if there was food to eat.

But this braised meat was too… too disgusting!

She then ate several mouthfuls of veggies, and she felt sleepy after finishing.

Her mystic energy consumption was considerable after several successive battles today.

She had originally wanted to lie on the bed casually. Afterall, she had to continue paying attention to Mo Lian and the others’ movements in the middle of the night. Yet who knew that she would fall asleep unawares!

She did not wake up even once the entire time until dawn…

The sun was already high in the sky by the time she got up.

Qiao Mu was dazed when she sat up on the bed.

It wasn’t until she heard the creak of the door that she turned her head blankly toward the two maidservants who had entered the room.
