Chapter 62 - Heart of Paradise
After a to-and-fro tussle, it ended with the sapling unwillingly loosening its “hands.” What was more peculiar was that Qiao Mu seemed to be able to sense the sapling’s indignation. She could even see it weeping to the heavens and shaking its tree trunk in her dantian, flinging its branches to “curse the heavens and swear at the earth.”
Heh, how could this tree be such a smart ass? Was this dantian still her dantian? Should she still be in charge?
Did it gain her permission before being so cheeky and making mischief? Such abnormal behavior should be mercilessly stomped down without discussion.
“Qiaoqiao?”
Qiao Mu returned to the present and immediately shoved Mo Lian’s face away from her own face. She opened her mouth and spit out a round bead, sleek like jade.
“How do I use this?” Did those people want to steal her Heart of Paradise with twisted expressions for some ulterior motive?
Yu Xiu had just appeared with a person in his grasp after taking care of the lackeys and immediately stared at the round bead in the child’s palm with astonishment on his face.
Wow! That was a shrunken version of the paradise? How did this vicious little girl refine the entire paradise and take it for herself?
Surprise also flitted through Mo Lian’s eyes, but there was more amusement present. He patted the child’s head. “What a lucky child.”
He did not ask her about how she refined the paradise, which put the child more at ease. In truth, even if he asked, she still had no freaking idea what in the world happened.
Nonetheless, she had a faint feeling that the paradise being directly refined probably had something to do with that sapling that appeared in her dantian out of nowhere!
However, she would not tell anyone about a weird thing like having a tree in her dantian. Moreover, with her cultivation as a tiny level-three mystic cultivator, it was abnormal for her to be able to see her dantian to begin with.
Mo Lian cut straight to the chase and instructed Qiao Mu on how to imbue her mystic energy into the Heart of Paradise. The bead immediately released a brilliant light and leapt into the sky. It sketched a mirage in the sky, and the paradise started enlarging endlessly before her eyes.
In a flash, a partially transparent valley appeared in the sky. The sound of trickling water and the fragrance of peach blossoms assaulted her senses.
Most importantly, the rolling magnetite mines surrounding the valley were all inside this mini Heart of Paradise, allowing her to use it whenever she wanted.
After having lived for two lives, there were not many things that could excite Qiao Mu. However, at this moment, regardless of how mature, calm, or indifferent she was, she could not help but turn ecstatic…
Yu Xiu was flabbergasted, and his eyeballs were about to drop to the ground!
He did not expect that the paradise various patrician families secretly searched for without avail would be refined into the Heart of Paradise and seized by… a nameless village girl!
With a thought, Qiao Mu moved the several unscorched rocks into the paradise. With another thought, the rocks returned to their original spots on the ground.
Hahahahaha! This was truly a treasure!
This is great! She could finally store and withdraw items as she pleased!
Unlike that hoax of an inner world where she could not withdraw things if she had insufficient mystic conscious, this paradise merely needed a small amount of mystic energy, and she would be able to extract large items. This really could not be any more convenient.
The child immediately drew her mouth into a smile from joy. A crack appeared in her stoic façade for the first time, and an odd smile was carved onto her lips.
Crown Prince Lian, who had been wholly focused on her, looked at the child with both amusement and exasperation. This little guy’s smile was so weird, as though she had never smiled before, and the curve of her lips was extremely rigid
