Chapter 85: Uninvited Guest

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Mu cursorily looked through the boxes and discovered that the rich crown prince was actually very reliable with the tasks entrusted to him. There were 10 or so boxes of ready-to-wear clothes fit for all seasons and a full stock of shoes and hats, enough for her family to wear for quite a while.

Besides that, there were also 70-80 boxes of superior-quality cloth in all sorts of varieties—thick, thin, silk, and wool—and 10-20 boxes with threads of all colors. Even if Mother wanted to make her own clothes, she would not need to worry. These would indeed last them 20 years.

Heh, she had not said it seriously, but to her surprise, the crown prince truly handled everything properly. After sitting on one of the boxes, Qiao Mu used her mystic conscious to sweep her awareness over her surroundings before taking out the Heart of Paradise.

However, the wrestling that she did with the sapling before taking it out did not need to be mentioned. It was utterly exhausting!

If it were not for the sheer amount of boxes here, causing their subsequent surface area to be quite large, then she would have wished for nothing more than to use a storage talisman. It would save her from the ha.s.sle of having a tug-of-war with that odd sapling every time.

After s.n.a.t.c.hing the Heart of Paradise, she intentionally swept her mystic conscious over the sapling and found that it had several branches listlessly drooping down, and it was even swaying pitifully. It was as though it was accusing her of being tyrannical and overbearing.

Heh! This Heart of Paradise is mine, alright! Why is it so troublesome to take it out every time! It’s hard on me too, okay!

How annoying!

Qiao Mu infused a trace of mystic energy into the Heart of Paradise and the bead leapt up, emitting a strange light. A half-transparent valley then emerged in the air, and with a thought, the boxes by her feet swiftly entered the paradise. They ended up forming neat piles in the s.p.a.ce in front of the peach forest.

When Qiao Mu attempted to withdraw one of the boxes, she managed to summon it with a small amount of mystic energy, which settled her worries. She swiftly moved all the remaining boxes into the paradise, separating the ready-made clothes from the cloth so that it would be easier to withdraw later.

Then, Qiao Mu tossed the 30 boxes of iron arrows, 10 crow-gold arrows, crow repeating crossbow, and normal repeating crossbows into the paradise. After she took out a few gold beans to keep in her money pouch, she threw the rest of the gold, as well as the box of jewelry, inside as well.

Qiao Mu surveyed the half-transparent valley in the air with narrowed eyes. The empty s.p.a.ce in front of the peach forest was nearly completely stacked with boxes.

However, there were still a lot of empty s.p.a.ces by the lake and near the back of the peach forest, so Qiao Mu was not worried about running out of s.p.a.ce. Now, she was just waiting for Second Uncle to bring his supplies back, and she would be almost done preparing everything that she needed to prepare.

Qiao Mu’s face was expressionless, but she was clearly happy inside. With a flick of her hand, she recollected the Heart of Paradise and swallowed it. Then, she suddenly felt a wave of cold air rus.h.i.+ng in from the distance, and gooseb.u.mps started appearing on her skin for no reason. Her heart jolted, and she instantly grew tense.

“Granny, who are you? You? What are you doing? You can’t trespa.s.s!” Brother Xiao Hu’s anxious voice was heard from outside the door.

In the next second, the door to the courtyard was kicked open, and Brother Xiao Hu flew toward Qiao Mu, like a kite whose string had been snapped.

Although Qiao Mu was stunned, a chill crept into her eyes. With a slide, Qiao Mu caught the flying Qiao Hu; however, she could not resist the overpowering strength, so she fell a few steps back with Brother Xiao Hu in her arms.

A touch of her hand revealed that Brother Xiao Hu’s chest was covered with sticky blood, and he had already fainted.

An extremely savage-looking geriatric face suddenly appeared in front of her house. The face contained one eye and half a nose, and half of the face appeared scorched. The upper half of the face above the mouth was completely melded together, giving its owner an extremely terrifying appearance.
