Fire Spirit Fruit can enhance fire-element spiritual roots. Three thousand points is not bad, so I bought it directly.

Looking at the points, there were still over 140,000 left.

Saving points is very important right now. If I could get a million points, I'd be comfortable.

At this moment, everyone had walked nearly half a circle.

The backyard had many species of flowers, such as the tree mallow, vanda orchid, yesterday-today-and-tomorrow, and Chinese rose.

They were basically autumn flowers.

Mu Zibai took a deep breath, occasionally catching a whiff of floral fragrance.

Walking on the stone bridge over the lake, he gazed at the tranquil water surface. It was a pity it was late autumn; in summer, one could see the entire lake covered in blooming lotus flowers.

Wenren Qingyi slowed her steps and walked up to Mu Zibai, asking with a smile, "Brother-in-law, do you think the flowers in our courtyard are beautiful?"

Mu Zibai: "..."

He looked at Wenren Qingyi with a strange expression, flinching his head back, wary of her.

To be honest, it wasn't that Mu Zibai was petty, but Wenren Qingyi practically had "I want to harm you" written all over her face.

This was probably a master of overt schemes in this era.

Gulp.

He swallowed, his mouth twitching. Wenren Qingyi's face, unable to hide her intentions.

Mu Zibai chuckled and shook his head, saying, "They're alright."

"I heard brother-in-law is a scholar. Do you have any inspiration to write a poem?" Wenren Qingyi asked with a smile, her innocent, harmless smile.

"No inspiration," Mu Zibai replied decisively. Who knew what this clever imp was up to, but it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

Her attitude alone explained everything. Be more careful, he thought.

Wenren Qingyi gritted her teeth, smiling with malice, "Brother-in-law, why don't you try harder? Maybe you'll get some inspiration."

"My literary talent is poor," Mu Zibai refused again.

Wenren Qingyi pointed to the flowers nearby and said, "Brother-in-law, quickly look and see if those flowers over there are beautiful?"

Mu Zibai: "..."

This little girl, could she be planning to push me into the water when I'm not paying attention?

The scheme was a bit too obvious. Mu Zibai sighed and said, "Where?"

He looked over. Wenren Qingyi leaned closer, as if a wicked plan had succeeded. "It's that one."

She carefully extended a small hand and pushed Mu Zibai's side.

Mu Zibai dodged and hooked his foot.

"Ah!"

A scream was heard, followed by a splash.

Wenren Qingyi fell into the water like a startled fish, sending up a spray of water.

Just as he expected.

It was just as Mu Zibai had thought. Wenren Qingyi had her intentions written all over her face; it was impossible not to see.

Truly, unskilled yet eager to play.

"Qingyi! Grab my hand quickly!" Madam Mu noticed the commotion behind her, startled. How did she fall in? She was fine just a moment ago.

She hurried over. Madam Mu was just an ordinary person.

"Oh, third sister, how could you be so careless? Come, grab my hand." Mu Zibai said with an innocent smile.

He extended his hand.

Wenren Qingyi struggled for a moment, then calmed down, glaring at Mu Zibai with fierce eyes.

Wiping the water droplets from her face, she looked at Mu Zibai's outstretched hand, puffing her cheeks, wishing she could bite it.

Finally, she compromised, grabbed Mu Zibai's hand, and was pulled ashore by him.

"You child, what happened? You're too careless," Madam Mu said worriedly. Fortunately, there was no real danger.

Wenren Qingyi didn't say a word, gritting her teeth, almost to the point of shattering her teeth. Who knew what scheme she was brewing now.

Mu Zibai also said worriedly, "Third sister, you really weren't careful. You must pay attention in the future, and don't fall in again."

"It's not because..." Wenren Qingyi glared fiercely at Mu Zibai, but didn't directly say that Mu Zibai had pushed her, swallowing her words.

Mu Zibai thought the little girl was going to complain to her mother.

"You child, how can you be so careless? Go change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold," Madam Mu said with concern.

Mu Zibai also said with concern, "Third sister, hurry up. Be careful not to fall into the lake again, or your brother-in-law won't be able to pull you out."

"You!" Wenren Qingyi clenched her small fists, angered, and left, perhaps to change clothes.

"This child," Madam Mu sighed, glancing at Mu Zibai. She probably guessed something and said to him, "This girl is a bit mischievous sometimes. Please don't mind her."

"It's nothing, she's just a child," Mu Zibai said with a smile, treating Wenren Qingyi entirely as a child.

A moment later, Wenren Qingyi returned after changing into a different set of clothes.

She didn't say a word, clearly still sulking. She walked over, pushed Wenren Lingmeng forward, and ignored everyone.
