I heard the noise outside.
Chiu Chiu and Xiao Feng went out to see.
A group of people surrounded some supplies, waiting in line to receive them.
After Stegosaurus returned from gathering information, Chiu Chiu learned that Sun Island was not as wealthy as it seemed, but rather lacked food and drink.
The people gave Qiuqiu the best things they had in their homes.
After learning of the plight of Sun Island, the Emperor took the initiative to distribute the supplies from their ship to the people.
Looking at the people, Qiuqiu felt a deep sense of guilt.
They saved all the good food for me. Waaah...
[This place is surrounded by islands on all sides, and they do indeed lack many things.]
What will we do after they finish eating this? This isn't a good solution in the long run.
Oh, right, I also took some seeds from the shrine. Perhaps I should give them to them.
After nightfall, Chiu Chiu sent Stegosaurus to deliver seeds to every household.
Although there weren't many seeds, we still made sure every household had some.
Fortunately, these are seeds from the Divine Pavilion, unlike ordinary human seeds.
This type of seed produces more fruit, requires less land, and yields dozens or even hundreds of times more than ordinary seeds.
It's perfect for Sun Island.
When the people woke up and saw the seeds they had received, they silently expressed their gratitude and then planted them in the open space.
Amazingly, the seeds quickly sprouted, emerged from the soil, and grew.
Within three days, all of these seeds had borne fruit.
The elder excitedly came before His Majesty to express his gratitude.
Elder: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty! The seeds Your Majesty sent have truly solved the survival problem for the people on the island."
The Emperor asked in confusion, "Seeds? What seeds? How come I don't know anything about them?"
Elder: "Wasn't it a gift from His Majesty? Could it be... the Island Lord?"
The Emperor thought to himself: "Chiu Chiu has good stuff, but she doesn't even save some for me. She probably gave it all to the people on Sun Island, right?"
The emperor waved his hand somewhat displeased and said, "Very well, since there's nothing else, you may leave."
Elder: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
As the elder walked, he muttered to himself: "It must be the Island Lord. No one else could possibly have this ability. Those seeds are clearly extraordinary. One seed can grow enough food for a whole family. The Island Lord is truly a divine being, the savior of our Sun Island!"
No sooner had the elder left than Qiuqiu came bounding in.
Chirp chirp: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look what good things I brought you!"
The emperor was still sulking when he heard that Qiuqiu had arrived, so he covered his face with a book and pretended to be asleep.
Chiu Chiu arrived at the Emperor's room and saw that the Emperor was asleep, so she prepared to leave quietly.
[What a pity! The elixir I wanted to give the Emperor was a thousand times better than the ones he'd taken before. While it wouldn't grant immortality, it could at least strengthen his body, extending his lifespan by ten or eight years—no, twenty years!]
Upon hearing this, the Emperor abruptly put the book aside and called out to Qiuqiu.
The Emperor: "Halt!"
Chiu Chiu pulled back the foot she had just taken out and turned to look at the Emperor.
Your Majesty: "What brings you here, Qiuqiu?"
Chiu Chiu quickly stuffed the elixir into the Emperor's palm.
Chuchu said, "This is very good, Chuchu will give it to you."
Xiao Dezi ran over and said, "Your Majesty, please have this old servant test the poison in your food before you consume it."
The Emperor said, "No need! I trust Qiuqiu. Nothing will happen."
Xiao Dezi: "Yes!"
The emperor quickly stuffed the elixir into his mouth.
Chiu Chiu looked at the Emperor earnestly and asked, "How are you, Your Majesty? How do you feel?"
With his eyes closed, the emperor sensed a refreshing fragrance, and his body became incredibly clear and light, as if he were about to ascend to heaven.
Chirp asked, "How was it?"
The emperor felt that all the blockages in his body had been cleared, and he was sweating profusely as all the toxins were expelled from his body.
Xiao Dezi quickly handed the Emperor a clean towel to wipe his sweat.
Xiao Dezi: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The Emperor laughed heartily: "It's alright, it's alright! I feel perfectly fine!"
The Emperor picked up Qiuqiu, lifted her up in one go, and then spun her around.
Chirp chirped happily.
[Is this what they call kisses, hugs, and being lifted high in the air? I've even been lifted high by the Emperor! I'm so happy!]
If the princes in the palace saw this scene, they probably wouldn't believe their eyes.
Throughout their lives, the Emperor had always been a strict father figure and had never teased them like this before.
Xiao Dezi, fearing that the Emperor's health might not be able to handle it, kept anxiously saying from the side, "Your Majesty, please slow down."
The Emperor and Qiuqiu had a great time playing together before he put Qiuqiu down on the ground.
The Emperor looked outside and said, "It's about time. We should set off."
Xiao Dezi: "Does His Majesty mean we should go back?"
The Emperor said, "Yes, inform General Xu that he shall depart for the capital tomorrow!"
Xiao Dezi: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
[I'm going home! I'm so happy! Mommy, brothers, I'm going home!]
That evening, the people of Sun Island, knowing that Emperor Qiuqiu and his entourage were returning home, held a grand bonfire party for them.
Everyone sang and danced outside until late at night.
In the capital, various forces are stirring with ambition. The emperor has been gone for quite some time now, and all sorts of speculations and rumors are flying around.
At the morning court session, the crown prince and his ministers would gather to discuss matters.
Once everyone had quieted down and the Crown Prince was about to leave the court, the Second Prince winked at a minister opposite him.
The ministers stepped forward.
"Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty traveled back by water, but the ships disappeared near Sun Island. It seems His Majesty and the others were eaten by sea monsters! Waaaaah..."
