Chapter 457: The Wife-Indulging Devil King x The Useless Third Miss 26
"You are worthy of being my, Yue Jiao's, daughter. Your level of alchemy is even above that of senior alchemists." Yue Jiao's voice trembled as she spoke, and it was obvious that she was quite shocked.
Aunt Qiao put the pill into a porcelain bottle, handed it to Yue Jiao and said, "Dad, there are many people in the capital who are poisoned by magic, and we need to refine a lot of these detoxification pills, but we don't have enough herbs. Please go find some herbs, and leave the refining of the pills to me."
Yue Jiao thought about it and felt that his speed in refining medicine was indeed not as good as that of Aunt Qiao. Perhaps Aunt Qiao’s arrangement was the most appropriate.
"Okay, I will go prepare the herbs now. I will trouble you to make the medicine."
Aunt Qiao worked hard for more than half a month and finally refined nearly three hundred antidotes for the poison.
Xiao Mohan supported the tired Qiao Jinjin with heartache and vowed to kill the mastermind behind it.
"Leave the rest to me, Auntie, take a good rest."
Aunt Qiao pursed her lips. It was indeed time to take a break. The system had been nagging her for a long time, saying that she was not doing her job properly. If she didn't have a baby, the system would say goodbye to her.
[It’s good that you know, host. This world is the world where you are the slowest in efficiency. Don’t just focus on other things. Your main task now is to give birth to a baby.]
"Okay, I get it. I'll get pregnant after this is resolved, okay?"
For some reason, Xiao Mohan's investigation went much more smoothly, and he finally found out that the magic poison that infected so many people in the capital was related to Prince Lingnan.
That day, Yue Jiao went into the palace and found Xiao Mohan. She was very satisfied with the fact that Xiao Mohan doted on Qiao Jinjin.
"What? It's strange that they found out so quickly."
Xiao Mohan raised his eyes sharply and said, "Could it be that my father-in-law helped?"
Yue Jiao shook her fingers and said, "No, no, it was my apprentice who helped me."
Xiao Mohan frowned. His father-in-law has an apprentice?
"I wonder who your apprentice is, father-in-law, and how could he have such a talent?"
Yue Jiao shook his head in amusement and said, "My disciple is used to pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Have you seen him?"
He had seen it before? Xiao Mohan was even more confused. Who among the people he had seen was the best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
Suddenly Xiao Mohan patted his forehead and said, "Father-in-law, your disciple is not Liu Zhi, right? He looks the most innocent, but how can a prince be innocent?"
Yue Jiao didn't answer yes or no, but Xiao Mohan knew from her eyes that he guessed correctly.
Prince Lingnan was found in Taoyuan Villa, not far from the capital.
When he saw Prince Lingnan again, Xiao Mohan could hardly believe his eyes.
The handsome man back then has become like this, with sunken eye sockets, hollow cheeks, and a purple-red mouth, which looks abnormal at first glance.
"You actually..."
Prince Lingnan turned around and was not surprised to see Xiao Mohan. "It's you. But I had guessed this would be the result. But do you think I will lose? Let me tell you, the Nine Nether Token will be mine sooner or later."
Xiao Mohan sneered and said, "Just dream, idiot."
As soon as Xiao Mohan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and hit Prince Lingnan.
"Puff" Prince Lingnan lay on the ground and said self-deprecatingly, "As expected, I overestimated my own abilities. But do you think you have won?"
Seeing the pleased look in the eyes of Lingnan Prince, Xiao Mohan finally reacted, "Oh no, Changfeng, take care of him."
After giving the order, Xiao Mohan turned around immediately and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After two days of rest, Aunt Qiao has calmed down. Now she is sitting in Fengyu Palace learning needlework to kill time.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement and a strange breath on the roof, and Aunt Qiao immediately became alert.
Then several powerful mysterious energies attacked her.
Jinjin Qiao used her Xuan Qi to block these attacks and even used her Xuan Qi to strike back at the direction that was attacking her.
"I didn't expect your Xuan Qi to have reached the peak of the Purple Rank. We were really careless."
Aunt Qiao looked coldly at the three men in black in front of her and said, "Who is your master? If you tell me the truth, I can spare your lives."
"Hahaha," one of the men in black laughed, "You don't have to spare us. Even if the three of us try our best to deal with you, it's not impossible that we can kill you."
"Really?" Jinjin Qiao raised her eyebrows, revealing a bloodthirsty side of her that she had never shown before.
"Dabai, come out and work!"
With a flash of white light, Dabai appeared beside Aunt Qiao, even stretched his waist and blinked his fox eyes in confusion.
"Hahahahahaha, do you want to make me laugh to death? This little guy is also your helper?"
Dabai then realized that a fight was about to break out and it looked like these guys were quite powerful.
In just a blink of an eye, Dabai returned to its original appearance, with its nine tails swinging in the air. The overwhelming pressure made the three men in black in front of it breathless.
"The divine beast is actually the nine-tailed divine fox"
The men in black widened their eyes in horror. It was not because they were afraid of death, but because they had heard that those killed by the divine beast would no longer have even their souls.
"Spare our lives, we will say it, we will say everything"
Aunt Qiao raised her hand to stop the man in black from speaking, "No need for that. I actually know who ordered you to do this. I'm asking you just for show."
Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? When you catch a bad guy, don't kill him first, ask the mastermind first.
"Fuck, you're playing tricks on me"
One of the men in black cursed, and died with his eyes wide open as soon as he finished speaking.
No one even saw who did it.
Only Dabai kept his achievements and fame to himself, looking up with pride.
"Please spare you, we know we were wrong, please spare your life"
Jinjin Qiao was having a headache because of the noise. Just when she was about to order Dabai to take action, someone was quicker than her. After a shadow, the remaining two men in black were also dead.
"My dear, why are you back? Didn't you go to kill Prince Lingnan?"
Xiao Mohan touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I forgot that Dabai was with you. I came back immediately when I knew someone was coming to assassinate you."
Aunt Qiao nodded, looked at the three corpses of the men in black, frowned slightly, and jumped away from the corpses on the ground. "Someone, clean up this place."
"My dear, has the Prince of Nanling been dealt with?"
Xiao Mohan shook his head in amusement and said, "It's solved. Auntie, weren't you so brave just now? How come a few corpses scared you?"
Aunt Qiao curled her lips and said, "I am not scared, I just feel a little nauseous when I see the corpse."
"My dear, the problem of the demonic poison has been solved. I want a child."
Xiao Mohan froze, hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, you and I are both purple-rank experts. If you really like children, I will adopt one from my clan."
Jin Jin Qiao looked at Xiao Mohan strangely, not really understanding what he meant.
[Host, the male master is right to think this way. People who have cultivated to the purple level generally do not have their own children, just like modern sterilization surgery.]
