NovelEnglishHer Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao, on the verge of arguing with him, silently extended her hand and took the pentagram necklace from his palm.
She touched the glistening star with her finger and couldn’t help but smile.
The star was silver and exceptionally radiant. It truly resembled the stars in the sky, twinkling and dazzling.
“For you,” he whispered in her ear.
He retrieved the pentagram from her hand and gently tossed it into the air.

When she opened her eyes again, she was nearly stunned by the surreal sight before her.
On the pitch-black ceiling, a multitude of star fragments materialized. They glimmered as if they were transporting the entire night sky into the room. It was truly astonishing.
“Qiaoqiao.” He gazed down at her and murmured, “Happy birthday.”
“I’ll give you one of my stars.” He cupped her small face with his hands and lightly kissed her trembling eyelashes. “No matter how dark the path, how long the night, or how uncertain the future, this star will always be with you.” “Do you like it?” MO Lian inquired in a soft tone.
Qiao Mu felt a lump in her throat. She silently nodded and playfully smacked his cheek. “I love it.’
“Don’t worry. In the future, when I encounter danger, I’ll immediately think of you. I won’t let myself be beaten by everyone again.”
“On the journey of growth, there will be countless challenges and perils. I’ll protect myself more wisely. I won’t let you worry.”
She saw him gazing at her impassively.
The young stoic’s heart sank. She extended her hand and beckoned, summoning that twinkling star into her grasp.
With a solemn expression, she muttered, “I, Qiao Mu, swear upon one of MO Lian’s stars! I will ensure my own safety in the future! During my practical training, I will cherish MO Lian (Her Excellency Qiaoqiao) even more!” Crown Prince Mo’s lips curled into a smile, and he lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “Remember what you’ve said today.”
The following morning, at 6 a.m.
As Qiao Mu was about to depart for the Cultivation Hall, she noticed Mu Xingchen rushing toward her.
“I was in closed-door cultivation yesterday and missed your birthday,” Mu Xingchen said apologetically as he looked at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQiao Mu maintained a neutral expression. “It was just a small birthday. Since you were in the midst of cultivation, there’s no need to worry about it.”
“This is a little gift from Big Bro.” Mu Xingchen retrieved a purple wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Mu.
When Qiao Mu opened it, she was mildly surprised.
Mu Xingchen had given her a rare West Snow Lotus.
When combined with the Longevity Fruit, this valuable ingredient could not only extend one’s life by a hundred years but, more importantly, restore youth and rejuvenate one’s appearance.
“This is too precious.”
“I know you enjoy collecting medicinal materials…” Mu Xingchen hastily added, “So, when I was training outside in the past, I occasionally came across a Saint-level medicinal material. I don’t have much use for it, so you can have it.”
“No matter how valuable an item may be, it can’t compare to you. You are my most precious younger sister,” Mu Xingchen stated nonchalantly.
Seeing this, MO Lian and the others discreetly refrained from approaching them. They simply followed the two at a distance as they walked out of Eastwood Court together.
“Rourou has returned to the capital on her own,” Mu Xingchen frowned and continued, “Yesterday, I contacted Consort and she informed me that Rourou would be back in a few days..”
