Chapter 486 - Retreating from the World (1/2)

An evening breeze arose, lightly whisking through the woods.

Like fluttering snowflakes, sprinkling peach blossom petals scattered onto that suit of red clothing.

The surface of the crystalline lake sparkled in the sunlight as schools of fish swam within it, the creek flowing into it meandering under the refres.h.i.+ng breeze.

At this time, a small, fragmented peach blossom petal fell gently onto her naturally rosy lips.

Her crescent brows stirred, and she lifted her eyelids. A pair of eyes, pitch-black like a deep pool of water, opened slightly.

“Master, you’ve already laid here for two days and two nights!” A little treant ran over while skipping and swaying its tree limbs. “If you keep lying there, your whole body will be overgrown with small mushrooms.”

“Qiuqiu. How long have I slept.”

“Two days and two nights.” The little treant hopped a few times beside her. “Master, you should get up.”

Qiao Mu stretched out her hand to pluck the fragmented petal sticking to her lips. Her eyes, like ice beads, moved apathetically as she turned her head to look at the sapling.

“What do I have to do today?”

“Master, there’s actually not much else to do. You’ve already sowed all the seeds into the earth these past few days. Many of the medicinal plants have already started sprouting vigorously, and the vegetable fields are already ready for several rounds of harvesting.”

“You go harvest them then.” Qiao Mu grabbed a thin book to cover her face. “I’ll sleep for a while more.”

The sapling: …

“Gurgle!” A small ice bead rolled to the little treant’s feet. A small paw suddenly extended from the ice bead and scratched the little treant’s trunk.

However, the little treant brusquely whipped it with one of its branches.

“Gurgle!” That ice bead thought that it had concealed itself very well, hiding underneath the little treant’s leaves the whole time.

When they occasionally approached their master, it would only glance at her secretly before withdrawing its head and going back into hiding.

“Don’t act so sneaky like that!” The little treant reprimanded it in both annoyance and amus.e.m.e.nt. “You think Master is a fool? She has long known that you haven’t scrammed.”

“Gurgle?”
