Mo Beichen frowned, seemingly annoyed at his own forgetfulness. "I've spent the whole day wandering in a valley, searching for a flat place, hoping to build another 'First Building' here, just like the forest you described, Luo Luo."
Yun Qinglu listened patiently to Mo Beichen's explanation, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes.
It turned out that he had overheard his conversation with Yunying, in which they discussed the Divine Doctor Valley training base, and thus conceived the idea of replicating that place.
However, she knew the key: "Simply being hidden isn't enough; there also needs to be a natural barrier on all sides for protection."
Mo Beichen nodded slightly in agreement.
He reached out and lifted the lid of the food box, then sat down next to Yun Qingluo.
"This porridge has gone cold. Let me heat it up." Yun Qingluo said as she saw Mo Beichen take the porridge out of the food box.
Mo Beichen grabbed her hand, gesturing for her to test the temperature of the porridge.
Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow and said reproachfully, "You used your internal energy again?"
Mo Beichen gave a helpless smile and replied softly, "It's getting late, and I really can't bear to let you work too hard."
Yun Qingluo did not accept this kindness and simply snorted softly.
He cut straight to the point: "Are you going to tell me what happened? If you won't, then I'll have to send Yunying to investigate."
When she spoke, the last half of her sentence clearly revealed a subtle threat.
Mo Beichen leisurely picked up the bowl and slowly savored two mouthfuls of Laba porridge.
The moment he tasted it, he immediately recognized it as a masterpiece by Yun Qingluo.
He squinted contentedly, savoring the delicious food, then slowly opened his eyes and gazed at Yun Qingluo with doting affection.
He explained softly, "It's not that I intentionally hid it, it's just that Xuanming is too boring. He insisted on dragging me into his own marriage."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo was greatly surprised: "Married? Xuanming is getting married so soon?"
Xiao Yi was even more astonished and blurted out, "This prince is progressing so fast. At this rate, he might be able to hold a child within the next year."
Yun Qingluo frowned, her face showing displeasure.
"What exactly is his intention in forcibly pulling you like this? Could it be that he is terminally ill and unable to complete the wedding ceremony, and wants you to perform the ceremony on his behalf?"
Yun Qingluo's words carried a hint of sarcasm.
Mo Beichen gently shook his head.
Yun Qingluo continued with dissatisfaction, "If that's not the case, then why is he making things so difficult for you? You should have returned to the Sumeru Continent long ago, but because of his delay, you now have to spend the Laba Festival on the Xuancang Continent."
Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, Mo Beichen frowned and said, "He hopes that you and I can hold another wedding ceremony."
"What? Why should I?!" Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo couldn't hold back and blurted out.
"Does he have nothing better to do?"
She simply couldn't understand the real motives and purposes behind the other party's actions.
Mo Beichen guessed, "Perhaps he intends to use this as an opportunity to cooperate with the Sumeru Continent."
Yun Qingluo was even more puzzled. "We, the bottom-ranked continent, are cooperating with the first continent, and it was the first continent that specifically sought us out for cooperation. Why are we cooperating? This doesn't make sense."
Mo Beichen had already thought of this.
But he couldn't understand it, and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
What exactly does Xuanming want from him?
"I need to go to the palace tomorrow to explain the situation to him. It's a pity that I probably won't be able to go back to my hometown to celebrate the festival with the children this year." A hint of regret was in Mo Beichen's tone.
Yun Qingluo's eyes flickered slightly after hearing what Mo Beichen said. In that instant, a thought surged into her mind.
It was already late at night.
After explaining everything to Yun Qingluo, Mo Beichen urged her to go to bed early.
Yun Qingluo noticed that Mo Beichen looked slightly tired, but at this moment, she...
She was exceptionally energetic and exceptionally strong.
Mo Beichen noticed that Yun Qingluo looked somewhat displeased and mistakenly thought that there were still some details he had not explained in detail.
He hurriedly asked, "Is there something I haven't explained to Luo Luo? Luo Luo, please ask, and I will tell you everything I know."
Yun Qingluo felt a little guilty and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xiao Yi had already gone to the pharmacy to hide and get the medicine.
"What happened to Luo Luo? Tell me, okay?" Mo Beichen held Yun Qingluo's hand tightly, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.
Yun Qingluo blushed and lowered her head, trying to change the subject: "I just suddenly realized that I haven't washed up yet. Although the weather is getting colder now, I feel uncomfortable if I don't wash up. Besides, you just drank porridge, so you should wash up properly too."
Mo Beichen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He had thought something important had happened, but it turned out to be just a bath.
He chuckled softly and said, "Then just wait patiently. It's cold outside, so I'll go get you some hot water. Luckily, we had someone make some preparations in the side room beforehand, otherwise you would definitely catch a cold if you took a bath in this simple place. It is indeed a bit simple here, so Luo Luo, just bear with it for now. We'll enjoy the pleasure of soaking in the hot springs when we get back to the Sumeru Continent."
After saying that, Mo Beichen gently kissed Yun Qingluo's forehead, his voice incredibly tender, as if it could melt hearts.
However, Yun Qingluo felt increasingly guilty.
Although the environment here is indeed rather simple, it actually has warm and comfortable hot springs available for use within the system.
Over the past six months, she has also enjoyed the comforts of hot springs.
On the contrary, Mo Beichen was busy running around all day, and he looked much older than before.
Yun Qingluo secretly guessed that it must be due to his frequent late nights and overwork.
Mo Beichen turned and left the room to prepare hot water himself.
After he stepped out of the room, Yun Qingluo did not hesitate to use her mind to call out to Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi! It's an emergency! Do you have any food that can help me fall asleep? I need it urgently, please help me."
Faced with Yun Qingluo's urgent question, Xiao Yi felt quite helpless.
"My little darling, please let me go. Where am I supposed to find you some sleeping pills? I can't exactly give you some sleeping pills to drink, can I? What if Mo Beichen finds out? I'll be dead! Giving you a stomach pump right now is definitely not an option, it's just too impractical. Why don't you try to bear with it for a bit, close your eyes, and maybe you'll drift off to sleep without even realizing it."
Hearing Xiao Yi say this, Yun Qingluo could only sigh helplessly, indicating that she had accepted the fact.
