My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Chapter 1058 - Woke Up?



Chapter 1058: Woke Up?

Because building a fire might attract beasts, everyone munched on rations for dinner.

To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, Qiao Mu also casually ate some dry pastries to fill her small belly before leaning against a tree, closing her eyes to rest.

She had such an awful sleep last night due to the nightmares, so she wanted to make the most of this time to catch up on sleep.

“You all can go to sleep, I’ll take the night watch,” Little Sixth Zheng told the others.

“Thank you for your trouble,” Hong Bawei said politely. He didn’t decline this goodwill and hastily looked for a drier place to rest.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Mu suddenly opened her eyes.

Little Sixth Zheng immediately sensed her movement, and he turned to look at her. “Got woken up by the nightingales’ calls?”

Shaking her head, Qiao Mu took out the chubby little white squirrel from her bosom and stroked its warm fur.

Just now, she seemed to sense the little fellow’s feet moving. Or was it just her imagination?

Because everyone had something on their minds, they all woke up after four to six hours.

It was still gloomy inside the forest, and only a bit of scattered sunlight was shining on the young crown prince consort’s face after penetrating through the thickly-layered leaves.

She was carrying a small snow-white pet as she leaned against a tree. While holding a bag with one hand, she was feeding the small pet something with the other.

However, when Dou Fengchi cast a glance over at her, she was promptly stupefied. “Y-You? What are you doing?”

She saw that small, fair white hand stuff a red core into that small white pet’s mouth.

Oh my heavens! What did she just witness? There was a nouveau riche feeding her pet a large handful of cores!

Qiao Mu merely cast her a glance but still continued feeding the little white squirrel unperturbedly.

Yesterday, Lightning and the rest had stealthily killed many mystic beasts nearby, and these cores were extremely good tonics for the little white squirrel.

Qiao Mu stroked the little fellow’s soft fur, wondering when it would wake up.

Duan Siren walked over and inquired, “Should we set off?”

“Let’s go…” Before Qin Susu could finish speaking, her expression changed abruptly. “Watch out!”

A small, emerald-green snake probed its head from the leaves before flicking its forked tongue and suddenly biting at Qiao Mu’s wrist.

Just as Qiao Mu was about to stab that blind snake with a silver needle, she suddenly saw that furry white tail in her bosom move, precisely slapping that snake underneath its tail.

Qiao Mu’s heart immediately jumped in joy: The little white squirrel woke up?

Yet when she looked down, she saw that the little fellow was still lying on her legs motionlessly with shut eyes. However, that tail swayed to and fro once before curling up again, as if it possessed its own consciousness.

Everyone was instantly horrified when they looked down and saw that that seemingly soft tail had smushed that small emerald-green snake into mincemeat. Even the snake gall seemed to have been directly crushed into bits.

Even a small pet of Miss Qiao’s that looked to be very weak was also so unordinary?

Qiao Mu was also a bit shocked as she stood up with the little fellow in her arms. She then nodded at Qin Susu. “Let’s go.”

Yet Dou Fengchi’s gaze flickered, and she ran up beside Qiao Mu with a rare amicable smile. “Miss Qiao, did you buy this small pet of yours from a beast pet shop?”

“No.” Qiao Mu shook her head.

Following this, Dou Fengchi asked with a grin, “I see that this small pet is quite cute. Is Miss Qiao willing to part with it… I can offer a high price for it!”

“Do I lack money?” Qiao Mu turned to look at her very seriously.

Dou Fengchi was unable to respond to that.
