Chapter 5770: Feeling Annoyed
"This won't do, that won't do. Might as well bring a mobile house." Too bad, her ambition is sky-high but her fate is thin like paper; she doesn't have the good fortune to possess a portable spirit realm.
Qiao Lin heard the princess and her servants crying rather miserably and couldn't help but say, "Should I go and handle them?"
"No need to bother." When it came to ruthlessness, probably no one could surpass the Mo family's cold-heartedness. That indifference and disdain, stemming from deep within their bones, was absolutely innate.
"They're not without hands or feet. If they can't handle it, they can just be food for poisonous insects and snakes." It's utterly inexplicable. He naturally didn't believe that a dignified princess of Tundong Kingdom would travel without a few highly skilled experts by her side. She was merely using this brainless method to attract his attention. Such inexplicable ploys were truly unbearable to witness.
Qiao Lin: ...
Actually, she just wanted to safely reach Mo Capital City and then reunite with her sister and the others. She didn't care about any other trivial matters.
Mo Yu raised a hand and conjured a small, white jade-colored tent. The tent had a pointed top and emitted a faint, shimmering glow in his palm.
Qiao Lin almost jumped up. "You must have taken that from brother-in-law, right?" This clearly looked like a top-tier spatial artifact, probably something her brother-in-law made when he was idle.
Mo Yu glanced at her and pouted. "Don't tell me you don't have one." In the wilderness they had been in a few days ago, the environment wasn't as harsh as it was now, and they both tacitly made do for a few nights. But today's mist-shrouded place was vastly different from before. The air was filled with a musty smell, and even sleeping in an ordinary tent would be a struggle.
These two were essentially cut from the same cloth and were more accustomed to a pampered lifestyle, so they naturally wouldn't let themselves suffer. If Mo Yu didn't take out his artifact, Qiao Lin would probably take out hers. The two exchanged glances and both snorted.
Mo Yu tossed the small white tent he was holding into an open space far away. Soon, a tent more than two meters tall appeared, looking as if it were built from jade, sturdy and windproof. The two entered the tent one after another. Qiao Lin also conveniently put away her Four-Winged Snow Steed.
Baozi the guard, seeing this, quickly followed them in, along with several of the Crown Prince's personal hidden guards. The interior of this jade tent was very spacious, with as many as seven or eight rooms.
Qiao Lin, upon seeing it, immediately puffed up her chest and shook her little head proudly. It's not as big as her mobile tent, nor as spacious, and even the rooms and furnishings inside aren't as good as hers.Hehe, as expected, her sister's things are the best. What her sister had, Little Lin had too. What Big Brother had, hmph, Mo Yu might not even have!
Mo Yu turned to look at her, somewhat exasperated. "This is an artifact Big Brother made in the early days, so naturally, it can't compare to the sacred artifact you have."
Little Lin turned back and made a face at him, then skipped into the last room on the left. This jade tent not only had divine-level defensive capabilities but was also soundproof, moisture-proof, warm in winter, cool in summer, and soothing for sleep. Therefore, he naturally slept very well all night.
Morning After
The next day, when she emerged from the tent, she saw Princess Huaizhu and her servants looking at her with dark circles under their eyes and resentment in their gazes. Little Lin didn't know that after they entered the tent to rest last night, the sharp-eyed Qingluo saw Crown Prince Yu conjure such a good item and quickly reminded her master. The princess and her servants then went to the tent, shouting and yelling, but unfortunately, the tent was soundproof, and the people inside didn't hear them at all.
Mo Yu and the others had already gone into meditation and rest early, so they naturally didn't know that Princess Huaizhu and her servants had been making a fuss in front of their tent for most of the night. In the end, two guards couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded them to leave. If they continued to shout and make a fuss like that, no one in the entire camp would get any rest.
Little Lin looked bewildered and walked directly to a nearby bonfire and sat down. Baozi the guard eagerly brought her congee and other food. Little Lin ate while occasionally receiving various glances from Princess Huaizhu.
"What's wrong with them?" Little Ling'er asked Baozi the guard beside her, a puzzled expression on her face.
The latter pouted helplessly and whispered, "Second Miss, you don't know, but after we and His Royal Highness entered the jade tent last night, Princess Huaizhu and her maids and servants kept circling outside the tent, trying to get in."
"However, our jade tent is soundproof, so we didn't hear them shouting for half the night."
Little Lin nodded silently, thinking to herself: This princess really spares no effort, racking her brains to approach Mo Yu. She's truly very hardworking and desperate. But why did she always feel so uncomfortable? Perhaps it was because Princess Huaizhu, with her delicate and fragile nature, was simply not the type of person she wanted to befriend.
Mo Yu emerged from the tent, and with a sweep of his hand, he put the tent away.
Qingluo sat beside Princess Huaizhu and cautiously said, "They had a comfortable night, unlike our princess." The princess was delicate and pampered, yet she spent a night exposed to the elements. Those small bugs and cockroaches had thoroughly terrified Princess Huaizhu. Even as servants, they felt heartache watching her. The princess had never suffered such grievances since childhood, so why didn't that Crown Prince Mo Yu feel any pity for their princess? And this Second Miss Qiao, who came from the wilderness, was truly heartless. She herself had rough skin and wasn't afraid of mosquito bites, yet she brazenly relied on her childhood acquaintance with His Royal Highness to shamelessly share a tent with him. A single man and woman sharing a tent all night, it was truly shameless.
At this point, they had completely forgotten that four or five personal hidden guards had also entered with Mo Yu and Qiao Lin. Huaizhu and her group had no idea that the jade tent was divided into seven or eight small rooms. They only thought that Second Miss Qiao was shamelessly clinging to Crown Prince Mo Yu, sharing a tent with him. With their limited vision, they could only tell that the tent's material was much better than ordinary tents and could ward off some crawling snakes and insects at night.
Princess Huaizhu felt extremely upset. Through their interactions over the past few days, she had realized that Crown Prince Mo Yu truly harbored no special feelings for her. He didn't even show the slightest respect to her aunt, Consort Li! Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated Chen Yan so mercilessly, dismissing him without hesitation. Now Chen Yan was still tied up behind the camp, unable to be seen on a daily basis. Huaizhu didn't even know what Chen Yan's current situation was.
Mo Yu ate some food casually, then ordered everyone to form a line and set off. Princess Huaizhu felt a wave of annoyance as he didn't even spare her a glance.
