Several members of the Soul-Hunting Group quietly approached Sunflower. As soon as they drew near, they felt pleasantly warm all over.
"Boss, this place is really warm!"
One of the underlings immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Their hands and feet had originally been frozen stiff in the Far North, but after approaching this place—
A wave of warmth immediately flowed into their bodies, and their limbs relaxed considerably.
"Shut up!"
"Can't I feel that myself? Do I need you spouting nonsense?"
The boss shot his lackey a fierce glare. Then, after looking around and seeing no one, he let out a breath of relief.
"This flower is definitely unusual. It probably has the ability to drive away the cold."
The boss looked at Sunflower with a smile on his face. He felt that he had struck it lucky and found a treasure this time.
"This is a treasure! If we steal it and sell it, we'll definitely get a good price!"
Greed gleamed in the underling's eyes as he spoke.
"Idiot. How could we casually sell a treasure that can drive away the cold?"
"If we take it into the Far North, we won't have to worry about the cold anymore."
"We can go where others can't go, and touch what others can't touch!"
"This thing is a money tree for us!"
The boss had a sharp mind and immediately figured out how to use Sunflower to make money.
"Sorry, nameless villager, but this kind of treasure isn't something you deserve to own!"
With a vicious grin, the boss walked toward Sunflower, intending to take her away directly.
"Yiya, yiya."
Sunflower swayed happily beneath the sunlight. Seeing someone approach, she even waved her leaves in greeting.
She had no idea what caution was, nor did she know what a bad person was.
The boss reached out, grabbed Sunflower by the stem, and forcefully tried to pull her out.
"Yiya, yiya!"
Sunflower felt uncomfortable and let out an unhappy cry.
Aside from Qin Qi, Gugu Gaga, and Doro, no one else could hear this sound.
But the plants could hear it.
"Hmph!"
Peashooter, who had been sleeping, was awakened by the noise. He looked at the uncomfortable Sunflower.
Then he looked at the boss pulling Sunflower up, and his expression immediately turned angry.
"Pfft!"
Peashooter fired a pea, and a tremendous blast of compressed air rang out.
In the blink of an eye, the pea struck the boss and blasted him flying!
"Boss!"
Watching their boss get sent flying, the underlings wore terrified expressions and shouted.
At the same time, they activated Martial Soul Possession and warily looked toward Peashooter.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Peashooter fired peas in rapid succession, sending those people flying without giving them any chance to fight back.
All of them were blasted into the Far North. If they were lucky, they might not have been killed by the attack.
But even if Peashooter had not killed them, they would most likely freeze to death after landing in the Far North.
And even if they did not freeze to death and somehow came back, they would probably be met with a Heavenly Motion, Eternal Manifestations.
"Yiya, yiya."
Sunflower no longer felt uncomfortable, and her bright smile returned.
She looked gratefully at Peashooter and waved her leaves, scattering sunlight over him.
"Hehe."
Feeling Sunflower's sunlight, Peashooter blushed a little.
He lowered his head and quietly shuffled a little closer to Sunflower before looking up at her.
Only when he saw no disgust on Sunflower's face did he dare move closer.
"Yiya, yiya."
Sunflower revealed a mischievous smile and took the initiative to move beside Peashooter.
She lightly patted Peashooter's head with a leaf.
"Hmph!"
Peashooter immediately looked flustered. He... he had not expected Sunflower to come close to him on her own.
He was somewhat frightened and wanted to back away, but every time he took a step back, Sunflower followed with a step of her own.
"Hmph. Sunflower, y-you shouldn't get so close to me."
Peashooter spoke shyly.
"Yiya, yiya. Why not? Wouldn't it be warmer if we stayed closer together?"
Sunflower saw Peashooter's embarrassment and deliberately put on an innocent, adorable expression.
"Hmph. Y-yes, that's true, but... but I'm just an ordinary Peashooter."
"Hmph. You're a noble Sunflower. H-how could I possibly be worthy of standing beside you?"
Peashooter lowered his head in inferiority. Within the Pea Family, he was the weakest and most useless.
He felt that he was unworthy of standing beside the noble and elegant Sunflower.
"Yiya, yiya. Dummy, do you think I would care about that?"
"Yiya, yiya. No matter what you're like, I like you. I like your sense of justice, your courage, and even your shy side."
Sunflower took the initiative to wrap her leaves around Peashooter and spoke openly.
"Mm."
Feeling Sunflower's warm embrace, Peashooter lowered his head, his face red beyond belief.
At that moment, he felt as if he were about to become a Fire Peashooter!
While Sunflower and Peashooter were being lovey-dovey, Wall-nut stood beside them with a stable expression.
Zhongli calmly sat upstairs drinking tea. Perhaps this was the unique old-man aura of those in brown tones.
"What a leisurely day. The sky is so blue."
Zhongli had no idea what was happening, but as he looked up at the sky, it was so blue.
As Zhongli gazed at the sky, a doorway suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Three little red-haired girls fell out of it.
"Ah, little girls fell from the sky."
Zhongli spoke calmly, but after saying that, the hand holding his teacup paused.
"Is it normal for little girls to fall from the sky in this world?"
A question arose in Zhongli's mind.
"Hello, we are Tribbie, Trianne, and Tining. Is Doro Ancestor here? We have a letter for her."
The three little ones got up from the ground, dusted themselves off, then looked up at Zhongli and called out loudly.
"Doro Ancestor? They went out."
"You can give the letter to me, and I'll pass it on for you."
Zhongli looked at the three little ones below. Suddenly, he had the feeling that he was seeing three little Dendro Archons.
Hm, it was probably just an illusion.
"No, we promised Little Gray that we would personally hand the letter to Doro Ancestor."
Tribbie spoke.
"Before we see the Ancestor, we won't give the letter to anyone."
Trianne spoke.
"Mm."
Tining nodded.
"Is that so? Very well, then please come inside and wait, my three little guests."
After thinking for a moment, Zhongli jumped directly down from the second floor, walked to the door, and opened it.
"Thank you."
"Thanks."
"Mm."
The three little ones entered the room together and sat obediently in a row.
"Please have some Orange, you three."
Zhongli took several Oranges and handed them to Tribbie and the others. Then he gazed into the distance, wondering when Qin Qi and the others would return.
