"My good daughter! Go and help Daddy plant them." Li Qingyu instructed Qiqi.

"Daddy?" Qiqi held the seeds in both hands, looked at the seeds, and then looked at Li Qingyu.

Then, with a bewildered look on its face, it nodded and flew into the sky.

Li Qingyu blinked.

I asked you to plant some grass... not to fly to the heavens!

After Qiqi flew high into the sky, she waved her little hand, and the firecracker rice seeds drifted and scattered on the oasis with the breeze.

Wow...look at this simple planting method...

You're so amazing, baby...

After watching Qiqi finish scattering the seeds and fly down from the sky, Li Qingyu hurried over to greet her, praising, "Qiqi is amazing! You truly are Daddy's good helper!"

"Daddy!"

Princess Qiqi gave Li Qingyu a big smile, and then flew around him happily.

Li Qingyu glanced once more at the peaceful and serene grassland around him, preparing to take Qiqi back.

Suddenly I realized...

On the green grassland, patches of pale yellow spots appeared.

This is... firecracker rice?

It grows so fast... Doesn't rice only turn yellow when it's ripe?

Could it be... because of Kiki?

Somewhat puzzled, Li Qingyu walked toward the nearest pale yellow spot.

Sure enough, upon closer inspection, Li Qingyu saw a firecracker-shaped rice plant already laden with ears of rice.

Furthermore, these rice ears are growing rapidly at a rate visible to Li Qingyu...

Until...it turns completely golden...

Unlike ordinary rice, firecracker rice has large, round, and plump grains.

At this moment, they shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun, like golden pearls.
