Having their fill of fluffing, the girls let Bai Yuan go.
“Ah~ that was nice.” (HZ)
“His fur is so soft and fluffy.” (WJ)
“Thank you for indulging us, Xiao Xiu and Xiao Yuan.” (TY)
“It’s nothing, senior.” (YX)
“Uho! (Your welcome!)” (BY)
Rather than being touched by a smelly man and children, Bai Yuan preferred them. At least, they smelled good. Han Zili went forward again but this time her focus was on Yan Xiu.
“Xiuxiu, are you the one that made that ice stick?” (HZ)
“Ice stick?”
Han Zili pointed at the blue box, all that’s left inside was just the empty molds.
“That, the cold tasty stick in there.” (HZ)
“Oh, you mean the popsicles? Yes, I made it.” (YX)
Han Zili’s eyes lit up, so did Han Ao and the girls behind her.
“Can you make more? It was really tasty! The combination of sweet and sour was amazing, and the lingering milky aftertaste~
Please! Make more!” (HZ)
Han Zili recalled the taste. When she put the popsicle in her mouth, it felt like she was teleported into an icefield, the cold caressed her oral cavity and then the fruity sweet and sour taste assaulted her tongue. She had tasted many sweets in her travels with the hunting team and the popsicle was by far the best cold sweets she ever tasted. She fell in love with the milky and fruity taste on her first bite. Unfortunately, she ate too slow because she wanted to savor the flavor, the box was empty when she was back for more.
Looking at his sister’s sloven face and how she badgered Yan Xiu for more, Han Ao blushed in shame. He agreed that the popsicle was a one-of-a-kind cold sweets but how could she badger her junior? As a senior both in age and as a hunter, she had yet to give Yan Xiu a meeting gift and she already asked for something from Yan Xiu? It was embarrassing.

“Zili, that’s enough. You can’t brother your junior like that.” (HA)
Han Ao was only reprimanding his sister but Tian Yu and Wu Jier felt like he was reprimanding them. They swallowed their word and glared at Han Ao, the two of them liked the popsicle just as much as Han Zili but were too embarrassed to ask Yan Xiu to make some for them. So when Han Zili asked Yan Xiu to make her some, they thought they could ask some on the sly, but Han Ao’s words snuffed out their chance.
The one on the receiving end of their glare, Han Ao, was confused. Why are they glaring at me? I don’t remember offending you ladies. Upset, Han Zili complained to Han Ao.
“But brother, that popsicle was really really yummy, I want to eat it again.” (HZ)
Then she looked at Yan Xiu and acted cutely.
“Xiu Xiu, please? Can you make some popsicles for big sister?” (HZ)
Seeing his sister begging some junior to make her snack with the same expression she used when she asked something from him, his face darkened. He was about to say something when Yan Xiu already answered.
"I will. In fact, I already planned to make more and the next one will be even better. Of course, I'll make enough for everyone." (YX)
Hearing what Yan Xiu said, the three women's eyes shone brightly. They already thought the ice cream was delicious and yet Yan Xiu said he would make something better, they were looking forward to it.
Han Ao looked at his sister's shining eyes, he just shook his head. At this point, Han Ao already gave up.
"Xiao Xiu, is there something you want? I acquired many interesting things on this trip, if there's something you want, tell me. Take it as a gift from me and a thank you for indulging my little sister. Don't be shy and just say it." (HA)
"Something I want?" (YX)
The first thing Yan Xiu thought of was seeds and food that he never tasted before.
"Oh, count me in!" (HZ)
Han Zili also thought it was unfair if she only requested without giving something in return.
"I'll also give you something." (TY)
"Me too." (WJ)
Tian Yu and Wu Jier thought the same as Han Zili.
"Then, do you have seeds?" (YX)
"Seeds? Like plant seeds? Well, I have it but are you sure that's all you want?" (HA)
Asked Han Ao, unsure and a little perplexed. He thought Yan Xiu would ask for a weapon or something along the line. As for plant seeds, it was something like trinkets. The seeds were usually given to Granny Shen or their family to grow. But mostly to Granny Shen, since they could trade the seeds with drugs or herbs.
Yan Xiu nodded.
"Yes, I want to increase the variety in my garden. So, if seniors have plant seeds, I would like that. I can also trade for it but I can only offer food and my livestock for it though." (YX)
Looking at the boy shining eyes, Han Ao didn’t know what to say. He was used to kids asking for items or stories about cultivation, this was the first time a kid asked for something else. Hearing that it was for his garden, Han Ao didn’t ask anymore. After all, it was only seeds he collected for fun. But Han Ao did feel fresh, few kids in the village interested in gardening or anything other than cultivating.
He heard from Chen Hanchen that Yan Xiu was a talented child, he thought Yan Xiu was obsessed with cultivation like other kids, so he was a little surprised Yan Xiu was tending to his garden. He thought that having other means to feed oneself other than cultivating was good, as cultivation couldn’t solve every problem. His opinion of Yan Xiu rose a little.
