Chapter 5586: Fantastical Ideas (Part 1)
Mo Baobao's eyes lit up. He hugged his mother, rubbing against her happily. "Is Little Dumpling smart or what! That old grandpa thought he had no flaws, but he was full of them!"
"The moment he appeared in front of Little Dumpling, I knew he was definitely a big bad guy."
Master Guangguang also nodded along. "Mm-hmm. A total bad guy!"
"Did they think we'd listen to them just because they looked benevolent? Dream on!"
Qiaomu nodded in approval. "You two are very good. You must continue to maintain this vigilance. For strangers with ulterior motives who approach you!"
Qiaomu clenched her small fist. "Just beat 'em up."
Everyone: ...
Duanyue and Fengchen even turned to look at Mo Lian. The latter gave them a baffled glare in return.
Qiaomu picked up her son and trotted out.
"Mama, we tied them up at the entrance of Holy Domain First Tower. We originally planned to leave them there overnight to suffer a bit more. Are you going to 'receive' them now, Mama?"
Qiaomu thought for a moment; her son's idea was indeed more thoughtful. Let's leave them there for a night. Let them spend the night in fear and panic, drinking in the wind; that would be quite satisfying.
"Son, what you said makes perfect sense. Mama will listen to you," Qiaomu said, holding her son and turning back. She raised a hand and stroked his small head.
Mo Baobao gave his mother a "smooch" on the cheek, earning an angry glare from his father. The little dumpling pretended not to see his father's angry eyes, turning his small head. "Mama, let's go eat."
Qiaomu nodded, holding her son as she walked downstairs. "Son, you did very well today. What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever Mama takes out, this child loves to eat."
Fengchen gave Mo Lian a meaningful look, which made the latter bristle a bit. "What are you looking at?"
"Little Dumpling, at such a young age, already knows how to flatter his mother, just like you!"
"Exactly," Duanyue immediately nodded. "That's how Qiaoqiao was coaxed away by him back then."
"Just looking at him makes me mad. Let's go."
Everyone successively left, abandoning Mo Lian.
Mo Lian: ...
Come back and explain yourselves! What do you mean 'coaxed'? Which one of your eyes saw me 'coax' my wife back?
It was clearly just a little more patience, a little more love, slowly, bit by bit, seeping into my wife's heart!
The next day, Qiaomu leisurely strolled to the entrance of Holy Domain First Tower after lunch to check on those unfortunate souls.
Li Lan'er, Ma Wei, and the other three had waited all night, their spirits suppressed, unable to stop their frantic thoughts. They had thought those people would surely appear the next morning. Unexpectedly, Aoye and the others who came to open the shop didn't even spare them a glance, directly bypassing them to enter the building and conduct business as usual.
Although others occasionally cast curious glances their way, no one dared to get involved. Naturally, no one bothered with their affairs.
Ma Wei and the other three waited and waited until late morning when they finally saw that poker-faced woman approach with a group of people.
Li Lan'er's emotions were close to breaking down by now. Seeing Qiaomu and the others approach, she couldn't help but cry out urgently, "Madam Mo, I... I know I was wrong. Please release us, release us!"
Qiaomu's small poker face was cold as she calmly swept her gaze over them.
"Didn't you want to capture my son?"
