"Sis, where did that young girl who first greeted us go?"
Tang Rao called her "Sis" not because she was older, but because her fuller bosom made Tang Rao's thoughts wander.
The girl wasn't as easy-going as Xao Tiao, and this kind of aloof maiden is the hardest to manage. Tang Rao feared this type the most.
"Do you still want your clearance card?"
The girl showed no rcy even to a handso guy.
"Of course I want it, I'm already impatient."
Points and clearance cards were what Tang Rao valued the most.
"Sis, just give the card first, and then tell where the cute Xao Tiao went. If she's not coming, I'll go find her."
Old habits die hard!
The girl internally cursed Tang Rao countless tis, but she couldn't show displeasure on her face, out of respect for outsiders in the Ice and Snow World.
That's the rule of Ice and Snow World.
"Forget it, give the stuff, Daddy needs to hurry to the next place. If I'm late, you can't afford the responsibility."
After teasing the girl, Tang Rao realized that the Ice and Snow World was full of beauties. Even handing out cards would leave one dizzy.
The girl had seen shaless people but never soone as shaless as Tang Rao. She added the card and points to Tang Rao and left in a huff.
"Tang Rao, brother, what do you think the second round will test?"
Ba Wangba clung to Tang Rao like a treasure chest. Without Tang Rao, Ba Wangba wouldn't even pass the first round.
"Land!"
No kidding?
Tang Rao didn't really know what would be tested.
There are topics in the Heavenly Domain, so there must be in the Earth Domain as well.
"Let's keep walking. There must be soone."
After walking about two miles, another person appeared.
"I heard Sister Mo say you're looking for , really?"
The one delivering the task, and again, it's Xao Tiao.
The person earlier was being all proud; who knows what for, not telling Tang Rao where Xao Tiao could be found, and Xao Tiao appeared on her own!
"Really, of course, it's true, co on, cutie, you haven't told brother what the Earth Domain's topic is?"
Xao Tiao was already used to Tang Rao's amorous eyes, and it wasn't easy to be swayed by beauty the second ti.
"Master said not to be swayed by beauty, to stay strong-willed."
Tang Rao wondered why Xao Tiao wasn't falling for it; soone must have given her advice.
It's that Zixia Fairy again, ever since her appearance, it's been a grudge match.
"Give the card, we'll et again if fate allows, little girl. Go back and tell your master, the Zixia Fairy, that Tang Rao will make sure she knows what won are made of."
Tang Rao casually made a joke, thinking Xao Tiao wouldn't dare to say outrageous things like that.
"Here's your card, these are the seeds."
Xao Tiao placed several wrapped seeds and a card into Tang Rao's hands.
"This is a task for both of you. If one fails, the other will be eliminated too. For this round's task, you just need to cultivate the seeds in your hands until they sprout to pass."
Tang Rao was most annoyed by Xao Tiao's sudden disappearances.
They were old acquaintances, yet Xao Tiao never told Tang Rao what kind of seeds these actually were.
"Heaven, beco a doctor; earth, beco a farr."
Tang Rao muttered, unable to understand why this trial coincided with what might be a major overhaul in the Ice and Snow World, calling upon Tang Rao and others to help plant flowers and grass.
"Hurry up, the ti for the seeds to take root and sprout is long. The delay is yours."
Again with those words; hearing Xao Tiao say it again, Tang Rao could recite it by heart.
"Let's go, cutie, we'll et in the next round."
Tang Rao waved his hand, treating Xao Tiao like a little sister, smiling as he said goodbye.
He seed to get along well with this girl, giving her a pleasant face.
Xao Tiao left reluctantly but before she did, she sent a ssage to Wen Jinjin saying Tang Rao was great; she finally trusted her sister's judgnt.
Wen Xiaotiao was Wen Jinjin's cousin and a mber of the Ice Clan, sothing Tang Rao might never have imagined even in his dreams.
"Seeds, seeds, my beloved seeds, you must sprout early and do Daddy proud!"
Tang Rao held the seeds in his hands with utmost care.
"But I don't know how to plant these, what to do?"
Worriso things ca one after another.
Tang Rao could do anything from heaven to earth, but planting was sothing he really hadn't inherited any good genes for.
"I can! When I used to farm at the Northwest War King peak, people praised ."
Speaking of farming, Ba Wangba was quite proud.
"Alright then, this glorious and arduous task is yours. You can ask for help if you need."
With the division of labor complete, Tang Rao found a shady spot under the trees, which not only provided shelter from the sun but also from the snow.
The weather was nice today, with the long-lost sun shining in the sky of the Ice and Snow World.
The sunlight reflected on the snow, dazzling and hurting one's eyes.
"Brother Wang Ba, put this on and try to avoid looking at the snow too much; you might go blind."
Tang Rao pulled out polarized sunglasses from his Space Ring. Wearing them like Tang Rao felt quite refreshing.
"Tang Rao, brother, you've got so many good things on you. Big brother is living the good life following you."
If Tang Rao kept helping Ba Wangba like this, Ba Wangba would seriously feel bad; he couldn't think of anything he could do that Tang Rao might need.
"What's there to say about that? What I have, you will have too in the future. The big brotherly kindness Wang Ba has shown is beyond asure of these things. First, see if there are any issues with the seeds, if they can sprout at all, so the effort isn't wasted."
Tang Rao had a thought: if soone gives you sothing, and you return it much later claiming there's a problem, they surely wouldn't admit it.
His words reminded Ba Wangba, there were five seeds in total. Even if one or two were dead, they could still sprout little buds; it wasn't possible for all seeds to be bad.
Ba Wangba thought a simple inspection would suffice. But when he squeezed the seeds, not much happened; after squeezing them, he looked grave.
"Tang Rao, brother, these seeds have been cooked; they can't sprout!"
What?
Not just Ba Wangba, Tang Rao was shocked too.
People from the Ice and Snow World shouldn't do such despicable things. Could soone be deliberately ssing with Tang Rao and them?
"What do we do now? Should we plant them or what?"
Ba Wangba couldn't decide.
"Let's wait; since it's farming, there'll definitely be more groups. We'll check their seeds; if they're normal, we've been duped. If none are normal, then I think I already know what they're trying to test."
