Seeing Mu Qing wink at them with her bright eyes, the children were momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Ying Li held the faded white hem of her clothes in her palm, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Mu Qing.
Mu Qing noticed the children's unease and reached out to give them a loose hug.
She said softly, "It's up to your brother."
Having said that, he stepped back, channeling his wooden energy into the garden, causing the bean pods and sweet potatoes to grow and mature at a visible speed.
Rabbit Zhuangzhuang and Rabbit Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qing with shining eyes, their mouths agape, and exclaimed in surprise.
The slightly older Yingli didn't seem as excited as the two little ones, but her little face was full of smiles and her eyes were shining.
After Qingzhu finished meditating and came out, she saw everyone gathered around the vegetable garden, so she walked over as well.
As dawn broke, the mermaid pearl emerged from the stream.
By this time, Qingzhu and the others had already harvested all the vegetables from the small vegetable gardens.
They were piled up in the valley, in several large heaps.
When Murong Yu came out of the Qingmeng Secret Realm, he was stunned for a moment when he saw a large pile of sweet potatoes in the valley. Then, the corners of his lips turned up.
He suggested, "Let's roast some sweet potatoes for breakfast."
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing's gaze met Murong Yu's, and she looked away, her face slightly flushed.
Even after all this time, this person still remembers that he liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes when he was in the mortal realm.
Soon everyone had selected some sweet potatoes and roasted them.
Murong Yu took two roasted sweet potatoes out of the fire.
He carefully peeled open the sweet potato and held it to Mu Qing's lips. Mu Qing took the sweet potato and ate it in small bites.
It's unclear whether it's due to the fertile soil in the valley, the input of wood energy, or some other reason.
Mu Qing gently sipped the soft, sweet sweet potato in her mouth, the sweet aroma lingering between her lips and teeth, spreading sweetness all the way into her heart.
Qingzhu returned to her cave and brought out the soft and sticky spirit rice porridge. Mu Qing took out a jar of honey made by Diandian, added a few spoonfuls, and stirred it well.
The blue star flower honey, brewed by Dian Dian, brings clarity of mind, abundant spiritual energy, and mild medicinal properties.
It's just right to give the kids some extra nutrition.
Qingzhu gave everyone a small bowl of spirit rice porridge, but Mu Qing and Murong Yu declined.
Their portion was shared among the children.
This was the first time the children had ever tasted honey, and it was on that day that they learned there was such a sweet flavor in the world.
That morning, the taste of that bowl of Blue Star Flower Honey Rice Porridge was something several children remembered and savored for a lifetime.
Even after years of fasting, even after ascension, whenever I recall that morning, that sweet taste still lingers on my lips and teeth, sweetening my heart.
It has become an unforgettable and beautiful memory in the long years.
Mu Qing asked Murong Yu for the spatial bag that Ao Bupa had given him when he was in Xihuang City not long after arriving on Canglan Continent.
When he was in the Wood Spirit Domain, some of the spirit milk and top-grade spirit stones that the Wood Clan Ancestor had given him were transferred into his spatial bag and given to Qingzhu.
He instructed, "This is something given to you by the Wood Clan Ancestor. Take it and cultivate diligently."
"After we return to the Wood Spirit Realm, I will take you to see him."
Qingzhu gratefully accepted the spatial bag and nodded firmly: "I will cultivate diligently."
Seeing that everyone was ready, Murong Yu teleported them all into the Qingmeng Secret Realm.
He himself entered the secret realm.
Before entering, he handed the key to the secret realm to Mu Qing.
In this way, he can locate the place by sensing the location of the secret realm key.
Mu Qing reached out and took the key to the secret realm, but instead of storing it in her dimensional space, she wore it close to her body.
