Adorable Child Teases Great Immortal Zhenyuan

After sneaking away from the Witch and Demon grand gathering, the two adorable kids Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan were once again roaming around the Primordial World. That day, they heard that at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, there was a Great Immortal Zhenyuan who grew a magical Ginseng Fruit Tree—this fruit bloomed once every nine thousand years and bore fruit once every nine thousand years, and eating it could prolong life and boost magical power. The siblings' eyes lit up at once, and they immediately decided to go check out Wuzhuang Temple.

Arriving at Wuzhuang Temple, they found it serene and elegant, shrouded in immortal mist. Chen Ruixuan looked around and whispered to Chen Siyu, "Sister, this place looks really impressive. Do you think that Great Immortal Zhenyuan won't let us eat the ginseng fruit?" Chen Siyu patted his little head. "Don't worry, your sister's here. Let's find that tree first."

Like two little mice, the pair scurried around the temple and soon found the Ginseng Fruit Tree. The tree towered into the clouds, bearing fruits that were white with a hint of red, shaped like little babies, giving off a tempting fragrance. Chen Ruixuan's mouth watered as he said, "Sister, these fruits look so delicious. Let's pick a few quick."

Just as they were about to reach for the fruit, Great Immortal Zhenyuan happened to return from outside. Seeing these two little ones standing under the tree, he was startled and barked, "Where did you brats come from, daring to trespass into my Wuzhuang Temple and covet my Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

Chen Siyu wasn't scared at all. She blinked her big eyes and said sweetly, "Great Immortal, we heard from far away that your ginseng fruit is amazing, so we just wanted to take a look. Look how cute these fruits are, like little babies—we really couldn't help it." Great Immortal Zhenyuan looked at the two adorable kids, both amused and annoyed. "This ginseng fruit is priceless beyond compare. It's not something you can just eat as you please."

Chen Ruixuan's eyes darted around. He ran up to Great Immortal Zhenyuan, tugged at his robe, and said, "Great Immortal, you're so powerful, you can't be stingy. How about this: we play a game with you. If we win, you give us the fruit, okay?" Curious, Great Immortal Zhenyuan wondered what game these little kids could play, so he asked, "What game do you want to play?"

Chen Siyu jumped in and said, "Let's play couplets. I'll give the first line, and you match it. If you can't match it, you give us the fruit." Great Immortal Zhenyuan thought to himself that couplets were a pastime for scholars and poets—what tough challenge could these little kids come up with? So he nodded in agreement.

Chen Siyu cleared her throat and said in a babyish voice, "The first line is: Nantong Prefecture, Beitong Prefecture, north and south prefectures connect north and south." Great Immortal Zhenyuan was secretly startled—this first line seemed simple but cleverly wove in the north-south directions, and for a moment, he found it hard to come up with a match.

After quite a while, Great Immortal Zhenyuan still couldn't think of a suitable second line. Chen Ruixuan clapped and laughed from the side, "Great Immortal, you lost! Hurry up and give us the ginseng fruit!" Helpless, Great Immortal Zhenyuan had to pick two ginseng fruits and hand them to the siblings.

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan were overjoyed to get the ginseng fruit. They sat to the side and wolfed them down, saying between bites, "Great Immortal, your fruit is really tasty. We'll come play again next time!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan watched these two mischievous little cuties, shook his head with a wry smile, but felt in his heart that these little ones were truly amusing. Thanks to their arrival, the Primordial World had gained a bit more color.
