Chapter 1260 -1280

Jiang Yan had no demands for her living place; she felt anywhere would be fine, as long as she could see Long Mo.

“Qiqi, come over quickly and eat with me.” Jiang Yan felt a special connection with Qiao Qiqi and waved as soon as she saw her come in.

Qiao Qiqi walked over and saw the light dishes laid out on the table, and she smiled, saying, “Sure.”

“Prepare a couple of dishes for normal people, make them tastier,” Jiang Yan instructed the servant beside her.

“No need to trouble yourself, I can eat this.” Qiao Qiqi wasn’t really hungry; she had eaten quite a bit with her brother earlier.

Long Mo also sat down, and the three of them sat together. Qiao Qiqi was impressed seeing him eat the same light food as Jiang Yan; many men wouldn’t be able to stomach it.

“I don’t eat much, you help yourself.”

Jiang Yan had a very small appetite, often feeling full after just a few bites, which was why she was so thin.

Long Mo went to great lengths to help her eat a little more.

But it wasn’t very effective.

Jiang Yan had another few bites before she didn’t want to eat anymore; forcing her to eat would just make her nauseous.

So Qiao Qiqi looked over at a nearby servant and asked, “Do you have any needles? Give me one.”

The servant glanced at Jiang Yan and, after getting her confirmation, promptly went to fetch one.

Qiao Qiqi sterilized the needle, stood up, and administered acupuncture on Jiang Yan at a key point. Long Mo was very nervous, but knowing both she and the people she cared about were under his control, she wouldn’t do anything reckless.

After the acupuncture, Jiang Yan suddenly felt hungry and picked up her chopsticks again, eating half a bowl of rice and dishes.

“Qiqi, you’re incredible—I haven’t eaten this much in years, it’s wonderful,” Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Long Mo was excited as well. Despite remaining composed, the change in his mood was noticeable.

“In the future, your health will keep improving,” Qiao Qiqi smiled and reassured her.

Jiang Yan also smiled, reached out, and held Long Mo’s hand, saying, “I want to grow old with A Mo.”

Qiao Qiqi was quite surprised that someone like Long Mo had an adored woman. If she hadn’t seen it herself, she would have thought this person destined for a lonely end.

Indeed, everyone has their story.

Long Mo wasn’t too bad; to ensure his beloved woman’s well-being, he actively brought Rong You and Feng Xiling over, presumably so Qiao Qiqi could treat Jiang Yan at ease.

And less than two hours later, Long Mo had gathered everything Qiao Qiqi needed.

With a brush and paper in hand, Qiao Qiqi closed her eyes, visualized a symbol she’d read in an old man’s book, then opened her eyes and drew it swiftly.

After finishing, she slipped the symbol into a silk pouch and asked someone to give it to Jiang Yan to wear.

Long Mo completely trusted Qiao Qiqi now; without even checking, he handed it to Jiang Yan as instructed.

That night, Qiao Qiqi arranged a formation there; she didn’t have the ability to communicate with spirits or see ghosts, so she could only prevent those entities from troubling Jiang Yan.

As long as Jiang Yan’s health improved, those entities would have no way to target her anymore.

She consulted Long Mo, discovering that Jiang Yan’s deteriorating health started after a miscarriage, during which she was very weak, leading to the issue becoming more severe over time. ℯ

Qiao Qiqi figured it was when those malevolent forces had taken advantage of Jiang Yan’s vulnerability.

When Long Mo went out at night, he saw Qiao Qiqi directing Spiritual Snake and Feng Xiling, the two formidable figures, in placing items.

He thought, “…”

Were these two still the notorious demons feared on the streets?

“Long Mo, you’re just in time; you’ll need to pitch in too. Bury this in the four corners of the walls,” Qiao Qiqi handed him the cinnabar.
