Chapter 49: Here, I'll live to be eighty at most, not a single day more.



The lively scene resembled eight hundred ducks begging for food.

Looking at his father and elder brother surrounded by the crowd, Yu Qinchun suddenly said, "My lords, if we don't keep up, His Majesty and Fuguang will be far away."

Indeed, as the officials turned their heads, they only had time to catch a glimpse of their Emperor's iconic bright yellow robes being lifted by the autumn wind as he turned the corner.

After saying that the seeds would be divided equally, everyone hurriedly turned their chubby bodies and chased after them.

Gaa!

hiss!

oh!

Yue Fuguang only heard the familiar gasps behind her again, one after another, which she was used to!

After the first two times, she felt much calmer hearing these exaggerated comments now...

Hmm, the system thought, if the host didn't dig with his feet, it would believe him.

To ease the awkwardness, start venting and diverting your attention – that's a great way to break the ice.

"I really don't understand what's so interesting about this little glass room. If these ordinary people saw skyscrapers hundreds of meters tall built with countless pieces of glass, wouldn't they be fascinated to death?"

The system readily agreed, saying, "In ancient times, technology was backward and productivity was low, so it's not surprising that they found this unremarkable glass somewhat novel."

If you were to tell them now that mortals in future generations wouldn't need to be like us gods to create machines that fly in the sky, they probably wouldn't believe you.

The limits of their vision meant that even in their wildest dreams, they would never imagine that a cart could travel a thousand miles a day without being pulled by horses.

"Speaking of carriages, do you still have any shock absorber springs and tires? These past two days, the carriages I've been riding in to the morning court haven't even had any shock absorbers installed, and the bumpy ride has been unbearable."

I can give you the spring now, but the wheels are a big item; their sudden appearance would scare people. I'll send a few puppets over to deliver them to you.

"Alright, then hurry up. I don't want to ride in this broken carriage for even a day longer. I miss the days when I could fly."

Yue Fuguang felt that as she acted, her skin became thicker and thicker, and she felt no shame at all when talking about her days as a 'god'.

While everyone was still in shock, the sudden thought brought them back to their senses.

He put away his earlier air of naiveté and transformed into the composed and dignified demeanor of a pillar of the Great Yan state.

Emperor Mingxi, in particular, coughed lightly and said, "Fuguang, show us the land inside the house. I wonder when we can eat the vegetables that have been planted here."

He jokingly added, "You absolutely must remember to send me some of these first-harvest vegetables."

"Little Bead, I've never grown vegetables before. Do you know when these vegetables are ready to eat?"

[The normal growth period is one to two months. However, I gave your batch a little bit of magical rain yesterday, and I predict you'll be able to eat it in about a week.]

"Huh, you can send down magical rain now?"

The system deliberately spoke weakly, "Not really. The spiritual energy in this area is too thin. I can only release a little bit from such a small area occasionally."

You should eat plenty of this vegetable. It grew up drinking my spiritual rain and contains trace amounts of spiritual energy. Eating more of it is good for your health. If you eat it for a while, its effects won't be much worse than a health-strengthening pill.

Gaa!

hiss!

oh!

Listening to the couple's heartfelt words, everyone also saw that the vegetable seeds, which were supposedly planted only yesterday afternoon, already had a light green hue today.

Emperor Mingxi and his ministers of the Dayan court silently gazed at the old man, who had personally participated in the planting.

Although he roughly understood what was going on after hearing Yue Fuguang and the others' thoughts, Old Master Wang still rubbed his eyes hard in disbelief.

No, I'm not seeing things! They've definitely sprouted!

He has dealt with all kinds of seedlings his whole life, but this is the first time he has seen a vegetable seedling grow so big in less than a day.

The Spirit Rain that Master Divine Artifact mentioned is truly a wonderful thing!

He carefully ran to the patch of cucumber and pepper seedlings he had planted himself, bent down, and examined them closely.

The tiny seedlings, only three or four centimeters tall, with two bright green leaves on top, were incredibly adorable in Lord Wang's eyes!

His desire to touch it, yet his hesitation, amused Yue Fuguang.

"Little Bead, what you're doing is a bit like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Won't they suspect something?"

Yue Fuguang started slacking off again, preferring not to do the mentally taxing work of covering it up herself.

Sure enough, before the system could even respond, the quickest-reacting Elder Wang said, "Your Majesty, look, when I received these seeds, I noticed they were about to sprout."

"I never imagined that the Junior Tutor's place would be such a warm and sunny greenhouse; he grew so tall overnight!"

He stood up with a smile, dusted himself off, and said, “Judging from the growth of these seedlings, their growth cycle is definitely shorter than those grown outdoors. I’ve never seen this kind of fruiting vegetable before, so I can’t draw any conclusions, but those leafy vegetables…”

He pointed to the various green vegetables that Yue Fuguang had mentioned to him yesterday, "I guess we'll be able to eat them soon."

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Mingxi stroked his beard and asked with delight, "Really?"

Lord Wang nodded solemnly and said, "I dare not deceive His Majesty."

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Emperor Mingxi said three times in a row. He turned to Yue Fuguang with a smile and said, "Fuguang, did you hear what Lord Wang said? Remember to send me some vegetables later."

The moonlight seemed to smile and agree.

Then Emperor Mingxi and his group of ministers, like a badger entering a melon patch, looked around and asked questions. Even a child with a hundred thousand whys couldn't be more confused!

The moonlight only made me feel weary.

The system chimed in with its own comment: "Master, if these people knew that just one type of fruit could have dozens of different flavors, they'd go crazy."
