activa-t Before Chapter 251, there were bound to be some gossip and rumors.

Before Chapter 251, there were bound to be some gossip and rumors.
Huangfu Qian waited with a serious expression for Xia Mo to speak.
“The fortune of Lady Yu has merged with mine,” Xia Mo said.
"What impact will this have on you?" Huangfu Qian asked.
“What I did wasn’t plunder, so I don’t have to bear the consequences, but…” Xia Mo sighed, paused, and continued, “Right now, my luck has reached 129%. If I take back the 70-plus points of luck that Ma Yiyi took, my luck will be like a glass full of water with another glass of water forcibly poured into it. My luck will explode.”
"Explode?" Huangfu Qian knew this wasn't a good word, and his brows furrowed.
“With my cultivation level, I won’t really explode,” Xia Mo said hastily when he saw Huangfu Qian was frightened. “It just makes me easier to be targeted.”
Her family is about to be targeted by invading creatures from another world because of her excessive luck!
Huangfu Qian nodded, understanding, and said, "I have already instructed your third brother to intensify his training. In two months, I will send your third brother home and dispatch twenty more men to secretly guard him."
Xia Mo threw herself into Huangfu Qian's arms and exclaimed, "You really understand me!"
After Xia Mo completed the task of retrieving the Qi Luck, the unconscious Yu Niangzi only uttered the voice that she didn't want to live, and no other voice came to persuade her to live.
And so, Lady Yu stopped breathing completely in her unconscious state.
Xia Mo looked at the lifeless Yu Niangzi and gave a forced, insincere smile.
Even though Lady Yu is dead, she still doesn't deserve any sympathy!
After Lady Yu died, her soul emerged from her body. However, according to the laws of this world, souls are not allowed to exist in the world for long. If they insist on staying in the world, they will slowly dissipate.
The spirit of Lady Yu glared venomously at Xia Mo. Knowing that Xia Mo had taken the thread of her destiny from her, and that Xia Mo had taken back the destiny that had been stolen from her by the head of the You family, she was not happy at all, but instead hated Xia Mo.
The spirit of Yu Niangzi turned evil and became a vengeful ghost at the end of summer!
The Jade Maiden, now a vengeful ghost, lunged at Xia Mo with a vengeful bite.
Xia Mo rolled her eyes, raised her hand, and slapped the soul of Yu Niangzi, shattering her spirit.
Even after being reduced to ashes, Lady Yu's eyes still held only resentment towards Xia Mo.
Late Summer: "Tch—"
Huangfu Qian did not understand the reason.
As summer drew to a close, she looked up and discovered that Heaven had bestowed upon her a sliver of merit!
Xia Mo was truly astonished. As that wisp of merit entered her body, she discovered that the cultivation level she could unseal had increased again!
Huangfu Qian frowned, looking at Xia Mo with a puzzled expression.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xia Mo closed her eyes and sensed it, successfully unsealing 50% of her energy, and laughed out loud happily.
"I know what to do to unlock... cultivation faster!" Xia Mo looked at Huangfu Qian with shining eyes.
Because she currently possesses 129% of her energy! Her luck is off the charts!
She was so lucky that the world guided her on how to more effectively unseal her sealed cultivation!
Huangfu Qian looked down at Xia Mo in his arms, who was sometimes laughing loudly and sometimes staring intently at him with shining eyes, and asked only one question: "Does this harm you?"
"No," Xia Mo chuckled, "I want to do good deeds. Look, how can I do good deeds?"
Huangfu Qian couldn't understand why Xia Mo's thoughts were jumping around so fast.
"We helped Lin Fengzhi regain his fortune, helped the government catch human traffickers, and produced a large quantity of cheap fabric, but I didn't gain a single bit of merit. Why is that?" Xia Mo looked at Huangfu Qian with bright eyes, hoping that Huangfu Qian would give her an answer.
“Perhaps we haven’t done enough good deeds,” a dark glint flashed in Huangfu Qianying’s eyes. Xia Mo was too close, almost pressing her entire body against him.
“Hmm, that makes sense,” Xia Mo nodded, finally emerging from Huangfu Qian’s arms.
Huangfu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xia Mo continued to hug him like this, he would start to doubt that he was an animal.
"I'm going home to see my parents. Where are you going? I'll take you," Xia Mo asked in a good mood.
Having unsealed 50% of her cultivation, with her current power, she can use the Shrinking Earth technique to travel hundreds of kilometers in a short time, and returning home will only take a moment!
“I…” Huangfu Qian frowned.
The Imperial Concubine Wei asked him to return to the capital to arrange a marriage for him, but he didn't want to agree. However, the old emperor asked him to invite Master Jia, but he didn't go to invite him and just kept putting it off. The main reason was that because he hadn't returned to the capital for a long time, a small number of the ministers in the court who had previously pledged allegiance to him had wavered.
"Look at how conflicted you are. Tell me what's bothering you, so I can have a laugh too," Xia Mo said with a smile.
“I need to return to the capital,” Huangfu Qian said.
He subconsciously didn't want Xia Mo to know that he was going back to be set up on a blind date.
“I’ll take you,” Xia Mo said.
“I came out here to find Master Jia, but you and I know what’s going on with him. I’ve been dragging my feet, pretending I haven’t found him yet. After Master Jia had his ‘Heavenly Eye’ artifact destroyed twice, he went to the capital city on his own. Now, he’s… with that person. Soon, he will be honored as the National Preceptor,” Huangfu Qian said frankly.
"Heh," Xia Mo sneered upon hearing Jia Daoren's name, and said, "Don't worry, there are even more invaders in the capital. Once I get home, I'll deal with the matters in the capital first!"
“…Okay,” Huangfu Qian nodded.
“I’ll take you,” Xia Mo asked. “What do you need to bring? I’ll bring it for you.”
Xia Mo put the things Huangfu Qian wanted to take into her soul space, put her arm around Huangfu Qian's waist, and flew up into the sky with him.
In less than a quarter of an hour—
The two figures had already appeared in the suburban mountains outside the capital city.
Xia Mo loosened her grip on his waist. Huangfu Qian hid his reluctance, but his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, betraying his feelings.
"Don't worry, I'll be in the capital soon," Xia Mo said, flipping her hand to take Huangfu Qian's things out of her soul space. She then took out a painting and handed it to Huangfu Qian.
“It was written by Mr. Yuanshan, you know what I mean,” Xia Mo said playfully, blinking her eyes.
Huangfu Qian reached out and took it, watching Xia Mo leave. He no longer hid his love for her, his eyes so deep they seemed to be like a waiting stone, gazing in the direction where Xia Mo disappeared.

Another moment passed—
Anjia Village —
Summer has ended and we've returned to the village.
At this moment, the villagers all looked at Xia Mo with eager eyes.
Everyone in Anjia Village knows that Xia Mo hasn't been in the village for nearly two months.
Before, there were inevitably some gossips about the end of summer.
Now...
