"Snacks? Where are the snacks?"
Yao Ziyi looked depressed, "I didn't eat anything."
Yao Xuanjia, with a dark face, froze in his tracks when he heard this. He then coughed lightly, waved his sleeves to remove the wooden sculpture, and said slowly:
"You're all grown up, yet you're still tearing things apart over such trivial matters. The forests at the foot of the mountain are almost destroyed by you two."
Su Qingqing rubbed her shoulders, which were aching from being pressed, and said with a look of grievance, "That was a snack that I spent a long time making..."
"The snacks are gone, I'll just make some more. It just so happens that my junior sister is back."
Yao Xuanjia turned around and pointed at Sheng. Su Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up and she walked over quickly: "Junior sister, come with me to the kitchen. I will make you something delicious."
"Fourth Senior Sister, you are really becoming more and more biased."
Shuiyueyao flapped her wings and moved between the two of them, "I want to eat too, double the portion!"
"Okay, then the three of us will go together."
Su Qingqing held Xiang Sheng with one hand and hugged Shuiyueyao's wings with the other. She turned back and glared at Yao Ziyi fiercely before turning around and leaving.
"What an unexpected disaster..."
Yao Ziyi sighed softly, pressed his lower back and stood up. He then looked at Yao Xuanjia for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Big Brother, are you eating the snacks?"
Yao Xuanjia's eyelids twitched, and he immediately denied it: "Nonsense! How could I steal something from my junior sister?"
"Anyway, this time I'm taking the blame for you, brother."
Yao Ziyi raised his hand and hooked it on Yao Xuanjia's shoulder, chuckling, "A wooden sculpture in exchange for my brother's lifelong fame, is this a worthwhile trade?"
Yao Xuanjia's face darkened. "Blackmailing Senior Brother is really... really..."
Yao Xuanjia thought about it for a long time but couldn't make any clear explanation. Finally, he was silent for a moment, turned around and walked towards his room, sighing.
"Come and choose..."
"Second Brother, are you really the one who ate the snacks?"
"Say one more word, and there won't be a single wooden sculpture."
"Hey, don't! Blame me for being too talkative. Second Brother, wait for me..."
“…”
The snacks made by Su Qingqing are sweet but not greasy, and have a unique and refreshing flavor that is intoxicating.
Xiang Sheng immediately liked the taste and praised it highly.
Su Qingqing's face flushed with praise. She made different kinds of snacks for Xiang Sheng every day just to hear Xiang Sheng's praise every day. She never got tired of it.
Yao Ziyi occasionally came to deliver pills during the intervals between blasting the pill room, but was inevitably picked on by Su Qingqing, and then beaten with wood chips flying everywhere.
Every time at this moment, Shuiyueyao smiles the happiest.
Mr. Yao had no choice but to go back to his old life of chopping trees and repairing houses all day long. Every day when he walked towards the window, he would always force out a simple and honest smile that was not very familiar to him and say hello to his junior sister.
In these chaotic days, Xiang Sheng studied the chakra method but did not feel it was noisy at all. Instead, he felt a strange warmth in his heart.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before. It was new to her, but also made her a little uneasy and worried about gains and losses.
But when he saw Qin Tianyan coming to inquire about his progress in comprehension and give him guidance, his heart miraculously regained peace.
She doesn't like to rely on anyone, but it's not a bad idea to have someone's roof over her head and take a break from breathing.
In such warmth, time seemed to pass faster, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
"Junior Sister!"
One day, Yao Xuanjia came back from the mountain and saw that the main hall had been demolished into pieces again. However, his expression did not look gloomy as usual, and he still had a smile on his face.
"What good thing happened to Second Brother?"
Xiang Sheng put down the book, looked up and asked with a smile, his expression no longer as reserved as before.
"Of course there's something good going on."
Yao Xuanjia's face was filled with joy as he said enthusiastically, "I have already fully comprehended the dragon-shaped wood carving that Senior Brother gave me, and I have made great progress in the ancient carving technique!"
Xiang Sheng was delighted when he heard this, "Congratulations, Second Senior Brother."
Yao Xuanjia laughed heartily, took out a few miniature wooden carvings from his bosom and placed them in front of Xiang Sheng's window.
"After my breakthrough, I made some little gadgets for you on a whim. I don't know if you like them."
As he spoke, Yao Xuanjia lightly tapped one of the rabbit-shaped wooden carvings.
The next moment, the surface of the rabbit-shaped wooden sculpture flashed with golden light, and it turned into a vivid rabbit, jumping back and forth by the window.
After bringing one wooden sculpture to life, Yao Xuanjia followed suit and awakened several other wooden sculptures one by one.
Suddenly, more than a dozen palm-sized wooden carved creatures with different expressions appeared in front of Xiang Sheng's window.
The spirit creatures jumped up and down, acting so childishly that it was outrageous, but Xiang Sheng couldn't laugh.
She looked up at Yao Xuanjia blankly, "Second Senior Brother..."
"Practice should be a combination of work and rest, Junior Sister."
Yao Xuanjia's face turned serious: "I see that you have been tense and studying books all day long for the past month. This is not okay.
No one will blame you for stopping once in a while, taking a break, relaxing and having fun."
