After slipping away from the Witch-Demon Gathering, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan, the two Cute Kids, wandered all over the Primordial World. One day, they heard that Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain cultivated a magical Ginseng Fruit Tree. Its fruits blossomed once every nine thousand years and bore fruit once every nine thousand years; eating them could prolong one's life and increase one's cultivation. The siblings' eyes lit up at once, and they immediately decided to visit Five Villages Temple.
When they arrived at Five Villages Temple, they found the place tranquil and elegant, wreathed in immortal mist. Chen Ruixuan looked around and whispered to Chen Siyu, "Sis, this place looks incredible. Do you think Great Immortal Zhenyuan won't let us eat the Ginseng Fruit?" Chen Siyu patted his little head. "Don't be scared. Your sister's here. Let's find that tree first."
Like two little mice, they darted about the temple and quickly found the Ginseng Fruit Tree. It towered into the clouds, its branches laden with pale red Ginseng Fruit shaped like tiny babies, giving off an enticing fragrance. Chen Ruixuan drooled greedily. "Sis, these fruits look so delicious. Let's pick a few already."
Just as they were about to pick the fruit, Great Immortal Zhenyuan happened to return from outside. Seeing the two little ones beneath the tree, he was startled and shouted, "Where did these mischievous children come from? How dare you trespass into my Five Villages Temple and covet my Ginseng Fruit Tree!"
Chen Siyu was not afraid in the slightest. Blinking her big eyes, she said sweetly, "Great Immortal, we heard from far away that the Ginseng Fruit here was incredibly magical, so we wanted to have a look. See how adorable these fruits are? They look just like little babies. We simply couldn't resist." Great Immortal Zhenyuan looked at the two Cute Kids, both annoyed and amused. "These Ginseng Fruit are incomparably precious. How could you eat them just because you say so?"
Chen Ruixuan's eyes rolled, and he ran to Great Immortal Zhenyuan's side, tugging at the hem of his robe. "Great Immortal, you're so powerful. You definitely wouldn't be stingy. How about this? We'll play a game with you. If we win, you'll let us eat some fruit, okay?" Curious about what game these two little children could possibly play, Great Immortal Zhenyuan asked, "What game do you want to play?"
Chen Siyu hurriedly said, "Let's match couplets. I'll give the first line, and you give the second. If you can't match it, you'll give us fruit to eat." Great Immortal Zhenyuan thought that matching couplets was a pastime for scholars and poets. What difficult challenge could these two little children possibly come up with? He nodded in agreement.
Chen Siyu cleared her throat and said in her childish voice, "The first line is: 'South Tongzhou, North Tongzhou; north and south Tongzhou link south and north.'" Great Immortal Zhenyuan was secretly startled when he heard it. The line seemed simple, yet it cleverly wove in the directions north and south, and for a moment, he found it difficult to respond.
After quite a while, Great Immortal Zhenyuan still could not come up with a suitable matching line. Chen Ruixuan clapped and laughed beside him. "Great Immortal, you lost! Hurry up and give us Ginseng Fruit to eat." Left with no choice, Great Immortal Zhenyuan picked two Ginseng Fruit and handed them to the siblings.
Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan were overjoyed to receive the Ginseng Fruit. They sat nearby and began devouring them. As they ate, they said, "Great Immortal, your fruit is so delicious! We'll come play again next time." Watching the two clever and mischievous Cute Kids, Great Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head with a wry smile. Yet he found the little ones truly fascinating. With their arrival, the Primordial World had gained a few more unusual colors.
