Chapter 1885: Chapter 1883: Shock

Suddenly arriving in a strange place, the two children clung to Gu Qiaoqiao very tightly. When they saw her return, they cheered and threw themselves into her arms.

They called her "Mom" repeatedly, their voices tinged with grievance and tears, as if Gu Qiaoqiao had abandoned them.

This left Gu Qiaoqiao feeling both amused and helpless.

She bathed the two children, told them two stories, and played games with them for a while before finally coaxing them to sleep.

There was no signal here, so even if she wanted to call Qin Yize, there was no way.

However, they had arrived safely at the mountain, so the few people sent by Qin Yize waiting at another courtyard below had likely called him by now.

Maybe it’s because the Spiritual Energy here is so pure, with a warm aura flowing slowly everywhere.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao almost immediately fell into a dream. She originally planned to practice the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, but unfortunately, when she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.

After they got up, Mrs. Leng brought a delicate breakfast.

Gu Qiaoqiao took Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei to wash up, and the two little ones obediently sat at the dining table.

Xiao Bai and the White Wolf were not in the house; they obviously ran out to play early in the morning. This place resembled an immortal mansion from the past or the era of cultivation when heaven and earth were filled with Spiritual Energy and various rare creatures everywhere.

So Xiao Bai and the White Wolf were instinctively delighted with this place.

Xiao Bai even complained why Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t bring it here sooner. Gu Qiaoqiao was speechless; it wasn’t like the Phoenix Clan people invited her, how could she just come?

Besides, this matter hinges on fate.

And now, the most important thing is to find Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen.

Last night, Xiao Bai told her to take a walk this morning to see if they could find any trace of Chu Chengfeng and the others.

Or perhaps summon all the wild animals within a hundred miles to see if they have any news.

Gu Qiaoqiao fed Xiao Bei, although Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were quite adept with their hands, holding spoons and chopsticks steadily. Xiao Bao was the same way, but Xiao Bei preferred to snuggle in her mother’s arms and eat the food she fed.

The little girl, with a sweet mouth, said after eating a mouthful of porridge and lifting her little face, "Mommy is the best, the porridge you feed is fragrant and sweet; Xiao Bei loves mommy the most."

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but laugh, tapped her daughter’s forehead affectionately, and said, "Eat well. After breakfast, mommy needs to go out, but grandpa and grandma will take you out to play."

Xiao Bei’s eyes lit up, "Mommy, grandpa said he’ll take us to pick Phoenix Fruit today."

"Phoenix Fruit?" Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Mrs. Leng opposite her in surprise, "Madam, what is Phoenix Fruit?"

Mrs. Leng smiled and gently wiped Xiao Bao’s mouth with a napkin before she explained to Gu Qiaoqiao, "It’s the name of a tree here. You came just in time; this year happens to be the fruit-bearing season and it’s just the right time for them to mature. But each tree only bears one to three fruits, and some are good at hiding and not easy to find."

"So, these fruits are found by fate then."

Gu Qiaoqiao laughed and teased.

"Of course, it depends on fate. I believe the two little ones are sure to have this kind of fate," Mrs. Leng said confidently, then seemed to remember the missing Sima Xiaowen and Chu Chengfeng, and sighed, "Why did those two just disappear like that..."

Gu Qiaoqiao also couldn’t explain why.

And now, she dared not guarantee with certainty that they would be found, especially since yesterday had passed with no results.

The only thing she could assure now was that Sister Xiao Wen and Chu Chengfeng were not in any mortal danger.

Seeing her mom distracted, Xiao Bei reached out her little hand and turned her mom’s face her way, and said in a cute voice, "Mommy, Xiao Bei wants more porridge..."

The little girl especially loved the rice porridge here.

Gu Qiaoqiao had just learned that many people had cultivated land here, enough to ensure self-sufficiency. To the right of the Divine Land were vast fields planted with corn, rice, wheat, and other crops.

Because the soil here is unique, the produce is of top quality, like this rice porridge, which is sticky and translucent, with a distinct rice aroma.

No wonder Xiao Bei loves it so much; her picky little mouth often refuses a second bite of something she’s been fed once.

Sometimes, to feed her, they’d have to chase and catch her.

But today, she proactively wanted to eat rice porridge, so Gu Qiaoqiao was delighted and patiently fed her daughter a whole small bowl.

A child’s stomach is small, and it doesn’t take much to fill it. The buns Mrs. Leng made were also delicious.

They were specially made for Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, just the right size for their bites.

After a few bites of fruit, Xiao Bei couldn’t eat anymore, and Gu Qiaoqiao wouldn’t force her, so she let Xiao Bei go out to play in the yard.

Xiao Bao suddenly looked up at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Mommy, can I play with you today?"

The little guy’s eyes were full of longing, and although Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to agree, she said, "Xiao Bao, today you have to stay with your sister, Mommy has something important to do."

"Mommy, are you going to find Aunt Xiao Wen?"

Xiao Bao suddenly asked.

At this point, Mrs. Leng had already followed Xiao Bei out because she was worried about her being alone, leaving Gu Qiaoqiao alone in the dining room with her son.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, seriously saying, "Yes, Mommy wants to find Aunt Xiao Wen, so I can’t be with you and your sister these days. Once I find her, I’ll definitely take you all to have fun around here..."

Xiao Bao furrowed his little brows, trying to understand, "Mommy, did Aunt Xiao Wen go out to play and get lost?"

"Sort of like that. She and your Uncle Chu both disappeared together, and they’ve been missing for several days now. Everyone is very worried."

Gu Qiaoqiao spoke absentmindedly.

By this time, Xiao Bao had finished eating, and he jumped down from the chair, walked to his mother’s side, and held Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, his little face very serious.

Gu Qiaoqiao, seeing Xiao Bao’s expression, asked puzzledly, "Xiao Bao, do you have something to say to Mommy?"

"Mommy, yesterday afternoon, I think I saw Aunt Xiao Wen and Uncle Chu."

The little guy’s voice was soft and childish, but it shocked Gu Qiaoqiao greatly. She quickly picked up Xiao Bao and placed him on her lap, asking in shock, "Xiao Bao, quickly tell Mommy what happened? Where did you see them?"
