Plum Blossom Woman scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth.
Mmm~
So sweet.
Plum Blossom Woman happily narrowed her eyes.
"What's this?"
A lazy voice sounded beside her.
Plum Blossom Woman's hand trembled, and the ice cream flew out in an arc.
"Oh my~"
The still-lazy voice held no discernible emotion.
"It fell."
Plum Blossom Woman furrowed her brows.
She was just about to act when she saw Lord Xiao Xiao catch the ice cream steadily.
The branch, which had stretched out a little, shrank back to its original length.
Plum Blossom Woman appeared beside Lord Xiao Xiao.
"Your ice cream."
Xiao Xiao returned the ice cream to Plum Blossom Woman.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao Xiao."
Seeing that the ice cream was unharmed, Plum Blossom Woman's furrowed brows relaxed.
But then she thought of the culprit who had startled her into flinging the ice cream away, and her brows creased again.
Plum Blossom Woman turned her head.
Her gaze fell straight on the monster lying lazily on a plum blossom once more.
The next second—
Hundred Illusions Butterfly flapped its wings and took off.
It looked down.
The plum blossom it had just been lying on was gone.
It shook its head helplessly.
"I won't trip over the same thing twice."
Plum Blossom Woman said nothing.
The Plum Tree's branches grew wildly, silently and without warning.
They shot toward Hundred Illusions Butterfly as fast as lightning.
"What a hassle."
Hundred Illusions Butterfly complained lazily.
Its movements seemed slow.
Its wings, opening and closing, traced elegant arcs, gliding like a startled swan and shimmering with brilliant colors.
Yet not one of the crisscrossing branches hit its target.
It was as if the branches were deliberately avoiding Hundred Illusions Butterfly.
