Chapter 5692: Common Prosperity, Part 2
"Of course," the Eastern Domain cultivators hastily cupped their hands.
Are you kidding? The elder Heavenly Dao had already spoken so clearly. If they were still foolish enough to defy him, wouldn't they just be asking for trouble?
Qiaomu kept a straight face, nodding reluctantly. "Then from now on, when I ask you to do something, don't drag your feet."
"Yes."
"Yes!"
Adult Qiaoqiao turned to the other three domains. "I'm returning to the Eastern Domain first. You all go back and wait for news."
Wait for what news?
No one understood.
This Divine Palace trial had seen three of the four Overlords destroyed, and the last remaining one became crippled and was stripped of his title by the Heavenly Dao.
Qiaomu herself hadn't gained much from this trip.
The biggest beneficiary, the number one on the luck ranking, Little Mo Xiao.
This fellow secretly made a fortune, first finding a Blood Sword in the Middle Hall, and then acquiring the Unadorned Holy Robe in the Main Hall.
The funniest part was that when he was sitting amidst a pile of boxes, unwrapping them like gifts, he had already taken quite a few things before he found the Unadorned Holy Robe.
Little Mo Bao had stored all these in his inner world and was quite happy, but since Daddy had abandoned him, the little one felt a bit wronged.
Qiaomu slowly made her way to her son, picked him up, and whispered coaxingly, "Little Tuanzi, later, we'll beat Daddy together to get your anger out."
"Mommy, but didn't you say before that we shouldn't hit Daddy?"
Qiaomu thought for a moment, then nodded. "Hmm, yes, that's true. But Daddy was wrong this time, hitting him will teach him a lesson."
Little Mo Bao shook his small head. "Forget it, Daddy grows older but not wiser. He won't learn his lesson."
Qiaomu: ...
The little poker-faced girl looked back at her husband with a strange expression.
Her son really understood his father.
"It's just a shame I don't have a wife," Little Tuanzi said sadly, looking up at the sky.
Mo Lian: ...
"Two against one, I have no chance of winning."
Peach Blossom God Venerable chuckled, reaching out to pinch the little fellow's chubby baby cheeks. "I'll find you one when we get back."
"Forget it," Little Tuanzi said with an expression of utter resignation, silently looking up at the sky. "A wife is something that can't be sought after; she appears when fate allows. Some people are born with a wife, others never get one in their entire lives. It's all destiny; I'll just follow fate."
Everyone: ...
Qiaomu: ??
How did the conversation suddenly veer off course?
The day after they returned to the Sacred Domain, Qiaomu ordered a notice to be posted, recruiting over a dozen free laborers.
Among them were the self-proclaimed pot-bellied man, He Weiping, and Zhang Jing.
"Reclaim wasteland?" everyone asked, confused. "But how can we reclaim it with all this vast white mist?"
"Wait until I absorb this white mist, then we'll see the geographical features."
Adult Qiaomu pulled out the Heart of Misfortune and lightly tossed it into the air.
The vast white mist from all directions rapidly converged towards that spot, truly enveloping everything, swirling and surging in unison.
Qiaomu blinked, then turned to Zhang Jing and the others. "Alright, let it absorb for a few days, then we'll come back and take a look."
If this Sacred Domain can develop and prosper together, these Sacred Domain cultivators wouldn't have to live such miserable lives, Qiaomu thought.
The terrible lives these people had lived for so many years were truly unbearable to witness.
Each of them a God-Transcending Realm cultivator, yet they lived worse than ordinary commoners in the lower star domains, fighting desperately for a bite to eat every day. It was too tragic.
It was an eyesore.
She really didn't want to see so many foolish people...
Qiaomu's new role as the "Lord of the Sacred Domain" is off to an interesting start, with her immediately taking charge and revealing the Heart of Misfortune to clear the pervasive mist.
What do you think the long-term implications of using the Heart of Misfortune to clear the mist will be for the Sacred Domain, and for Qiaomu's leadership?
