Chapter 234: A sour atmosphere prevails!
The small-scale formation is used to slightly enhance the rice's absorption of nutrients in the fields, promote its growth, and ensure that the rice in these eight acres of fields can be harvested in a month.
Xia Mo, holding her mother's hand, obediently followed her out of the field.
"Look at you, you're covered in mud," Xia's mother said, squatting down to wipe the mud off Xia Mo.
Xia Mo suddenly grabbed her mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, what are you doing?! I'll just wash it with water when we get home."
She couldn't bring herself to ask her mother to kneel down and wipe the mud off her feet.
Xia's mother nodded and led Xia Mo home.
The villagers of Anjia Village were already used to Xia's mother's way of treating her daughter like a precious treasure, and continued to watch Xia's father and his family hauling fertilizer.
As I walked home in late summer, I looked up, as if struck by a thought, and gazed at the distant horizon.
Summer's End: "..."
Xia Mo sighed inwardly.
She's only been at home for a few days!
The daughter didn't show anything on her face, but Xia's mother, being Xia Mo's mother, immediately noticed that Xia Mo's expression was a little off.
“It was a message delivered by a flying eagle,” Xia Mo explained to Xia’s mother.
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the yard, the eagle reached the sky above the yard, swooped down, and ran and jumped towards Xia Mo. It stood in front of Xia Mo, turning its head left and right and lowering it slightly, with a hint of ingratiation.
As Xia Mo reached out, the bamboo tube in the eagle's claw flew into her hand as if it had a mind of its own.
When Xia's mother saw the small bamboo tube, she frowned.
Xia Mo took out the note from the bamboo tube, unfolded it, read its contents, and was speechless for a moment.
Huangfu Qian's men suspected that Yu Niangzi was the one whose luck had been stolen. They rescued her, but she is currently unconscious. He even fed her the strengthening pills given to him by Xia Mo, but it was still ineffective. They are just waiting for Xia Mo to come and save her life.
"Did Master send you a message?" Xia's mother asked curiously, glancing at the note in Xia Mo's hand.
"No, Master is over there," Xia Mo looked up at the sky. She had a master, a master in the Immortal Realm.
"So...you're going out again?" Thinking of her daughter running away again, Xia's mother reluctantly reached out and grabbed Xia Mo's hand.
"Yes, it's something important," Xia Mo said, looking at her mother with equally reluctant eyes.
She actually wanted to spend more time with her family, but... if this world were destroyed, her family would be destroyed as well.
Seeing her daughter's reluctance to leave, Xia's mother didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so she didn't say anything to stop her from leaving.
"Should I go and call them back?" Xia's mother asked.
"I'll be right back," Xia Mo said, grasping her mother's hand with a hint of assurance.
Xia's mother thought that the end of summer would come quickly, taking more than a month. She wanted to say that a month was really not fast, but she didn't want to see her daughter suffer. What could she do...?
“Go,” Xia’s mother said.
“Eagle, take me with you,” Xia Mo said to the eagle standing on the ground.
The eagle tilted its head, looking at Xia Mo in bewilderment.
Xia Mo is a human, and he is an eagle. How can you lead him?
Xia's mother was also surprised.
"Mom, I'll show you something really difficult," Xia Mo said, leaping onto the eagle's back and standing on one leg.
The eagle was startled and turned its head sharply, only to be shocked to find that Xia Modu was standing on its back, and it did not feel any added weight at all!
Xia's mother was so frightened that her heart tightened, thinking that Xia Mo was going to stomp the eagle to death. Unexpectedly, her daughter actually stood on the eagle and did not crush it.
"Come down quickly, it's too high-profile for you to go out like this," Xia's mother hurriedly whispered back.
"No, I can become invisible," Xia Mo said, waving her hand. In fact, she didn't need to wave her hand at all; with a thought, she used the spell, and then she disappeared as if she had vanished into thin air.
Xia's mother stared in disbelief.
“That way, whenever I have time, I can have the eagle carry me back to see you,” Xia Mo’s voice rang out.
Xia's mother stared blankly at the eagle's back, but did not see her daughter.
"Let's go," Xia Mo called out, and the eagle immediately took flight into the sky.
Xia's mother's gaze followed the eagle, looking towards the sky.
The thought of her daughter standing on the back of an eagle made her nervous.
She kept having thoughts like, "What if my daughter loses her balance and falls from this height?"
In fact, the eagle did fly away, while Xia Mo took off on her own and flew towards the address written on the note.
Yu Niangzi's condition cannot be delayed for even a moment. If she doesn't get there fast enough, without Yu Niangzi as the thread to retrieve her luck, Yu Niangzi's luck will truly be plundered.

One hour later—
Outside the city of Haozhou, a month and a half's carriage ride or foot away from Anjia Village—
Xia Mo, dressed in women's clothing, appeared outside the gate of a manor on the outskirts of Haozhou Prefecture.
Xia Ben flipped his hand and took out a face mask from his soul space, covering his face and revealing only his clear, bright, and beautiful eyes and full forehead.
She hadn't been standing still for long when the gates of the manor were suddenly flung open.
A tall figure emerged from the village; it was none other than Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian remained expressionless, maintaining his aloof demeanor, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
Behind Huangfu Qian followed his capable subordinate Jiang Che.
When Huangfu Qian saw that Xia Mo had arrived without even changing out of her women's clothes, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Xia Mo's feet.
By the end of summer, my feet were covered in mud from the dried-up fields.
Xia Mo jumped straight into Huangfu Qian's arms.
Jiang Che just watched as his master neither dodged nor evaded, letting Xia Mo pounce on him.
Jiang Che frowned, wanting to ask: Master, have you forgotten about Siya?
Jiang Che didn't know that Siya was Xia Mo in disguise, and at this moment, he couldn't believe it.
Xia Mo put her arm around Huangfu Qian's waist and gestured with her hand from above her head to Huangfu Qian's chest: "I've grown a little taller. Judging from my current growth rate, I should be able to grow to 1.7 meters."
The sounds of late summer are crisp and sweet, clean and free of any noise, making them a pleasure for any ear that hears them.
“Yes,” Huangfu Qian nodded.
"Let's go see Lady Yu," Xia Mo urged.
Huangfu Qian immediately realized something was wrong and gave Xia Mo a deep look with his hawk-like eyes.
"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you," Xia Mo beckoned, gesturing for Huangfu Qian to come closer.
Huangfu Qian indeed put his ear close.
Xia Mo whispered, "Most of the divine sense I can use now has been left in another place, a place that is countless miles away from here."
Huangfu Qian recalled that before the end of summer, she had also tried to follow the alien invaders to their world, which resulted in her exhausting herself. She still vividly remembered how weak she looked at that time.
Huangfu Qian frowned, his serious expression revealing his disapproval.
"Look, I'm fine, aren't I?" Xia Mo was very pleased with Huangfu Qian's concern.
Huangfu Qian raised his hand, but in the end he put it down.
Xia Mo took Huangfu Qian's hand and said, "You want to tap my forehead, right?"
As she spoke, Xia Mo took Huangfu Qian's hand and touched her own lips with it.
As Xia Mo touched her lips with Huangfu Qian's hand, she gave Huangfu Qian a flirtatious wink.
Jiang Che, who was following behind Huangfu Qian, seemed to be under a spell, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide, and he stood there in astonishment.
He... he actually saw his master being teased, and... he even sensed a slightly awkward atmosphere!
