Chapter 2137: Harvest Farm's Amazing Daily Life 08

Boss Song brought both portions of fruit home, then hastily took a cooperation call, told the nanny to remember to let the Old Master sample them, and left.

What he didn't know was that the nanny, seeing the two fruit portions were about the same size, simply removed the packaging and stored them together.

And the usually picky Old Master, who just wanted to eat something in its original flavor, kept praising the fuller produce; only then did the nanny go back to check the packaging box.

"What, Jiangwang Orchard." The nanny read the words on the package box and said, "That's all the introduction says; there's nothing else."

She didn't even think about why the orchard also had so many vegetables.

"Fresh, this flavor is superb."

The Old Master sighed, "Back then I moved here just for this kind of taste."

He even felt a bit nostalgic for those few mysterious friends from back then.

So when Boss Song returned, he learned that the Old Master had already decided which supplier to choose for those sales channels in the city.

——

That day's lunch was more lavish than usual, and the two little ones staying at the farm ate until their bellies were round.

Especially Ling Gun Gun, who relies on cuteness to act fierce.

After the nap, Lin Mian planned the division of the flower bed, preparing to make use of this bare patch of land.

Now is a good time to plant flowers.

Suddenly a sound came from afar; the black cat, which had been curled up napping on the wooden house roof, instantly perked its ears, its tail puffed into a fluffy ball, and it let out a low growl from its throat.

Ling Gun Gun's "pillow" suddenly shifted; it rolled over, almost falling off, angrily grabbed the black cat's ear tip, and then was also drawn to the newcomer.

"Ao!"

Host, there's an uninvited guest!

"Xiaohei is indeed here, yet you occupy others' things with righteous confidence."

Jiang Ji's voice, laced with grievance, pierced the farm's tranquility.

He grabbed Qin Zong's wrist and strode over the fence; his originally neat shirt was stained with grass scraps, obviously having rushed through the bushes, but upon seeing the scene before him he suddenly fell silent.

The two stood outside the farm's wooden fence; Jiang Ji's gaze swept over the vast land before him, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

"This place... is actually this big?" Jiang Ji muttered to himself, his tone tinged with shock.

It was practically a paradise on earth—trees lush and verdant, fruit abundant, vegetable growth thriving, each plant seemingly brimming with vitality.

Jiang Ji's gaze swept over the vegetable plots, his heart feeling both envy and complexity.

And Qin Zong's gaze scanned around, lingering on the leaves of the magical seeds; recalling what the black cat had murmured in the orchard, his eyes darkened a bit.

"What's up?"

Lin Mian was somewhat surprised, not expecting them to come to the farm.

Jin Chen walked over from the opposite side of the small path, somewhat alert, and stood beside Lin Mian.

"I've come to find Xiaohei." Jiang Ji said, "Xiaohei is the black cat I keep at home; I don't know how it ended up at Harvest Farm—you'll give it back to me, right?"

The black cat lightly jumped down from the wooden house roof, crouched beside Lin Mian's feet, and hissed at Jiang Ji with a fierce attitude.

It as usual sensed the killing aura emanating from Qin Zong, but this time, with the Divine Envoy present, the cat felt no fear at all!

Lin Mian furrowed his brows, "You keep it at home?"

"Meow!" The black cat angrily stomped its feet, lifted its head to look at Lin Mian, its purple eyes full of disapproval.

"You don't need a black cat at all," Jiang Ji suddenly said, his eye sockets slightly red, his emotions becoming somewhat agitated.

"I picked it up; it's very important to me, and I need it."

Hearing Jiang Ji's words, Lin Mian sighed helplessly.

He looked at the black cat and softly said, "Xiaomo will choose for itself; we won't force it."

The black cat sat gracefully beside Lin Mian's feet, its tail swaying lightly, its amber eyes coldly regarding Jiang Ji.

Without hesitation, it stood up, slowly rubbed its head against his leg, then turned its head and bared its teeth at Jiang Ji, emitting a low threatening sound.

Jiang Ji froze for a moment, loss and unwillingness flashing in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, wanting to say more, but Qin Zong stopped him.

"Enough," Qin Zong said coldly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Mian and Jin Chen, his tone displeased.

"Since the black cat has chosen you, we won't insist either. However, we've raised it for two weeks; as compensation, you ought to give us something, right?"

He said this, his gaze fixed directly on the plants behind the flowerbed path.

"That one will do; I think it's quite suitable."

Lin Mian followed his gaze, slightly furrowed his brows, and a sense of dubiousness flitted through his mind.

How coincidental that it's the magical seeds.

Jin Chen: "If you're really bored, just go back to sleep; why come here to daydream?"

Qin Zong sneered, a glint of provocation in his eyes, "What, you're reluctant? Then we'll take the black cat."

Qin Zong pressed his left hand against his back waist and drew his gun.

The sound of cocking the gun rang in the air.

The black cat suddenly arched its back, blocking Lin Mian in front, its fur stood on end, and it let out a sharp hiss, as if warning Qin Zong not to act rashly.

Lin Mian was shielded behind Jin Chen and the black cat; he could no longer see the muzzle, but his heart still pounded with nervousness.

"Roar——"

Amid Jiang Ji's shrill scream, a white lion taller than a person leapt down from the roof, fiercely pounced on Qin Zong, and the gun fell into the grass.

"Roar!"

Qin Zong's eyes were about to burst, his alertness exploded in an instant, yet he could not resist in the slightest.

Jiang Ji looked at the scene before him, gritted his teeth, and said softly, "Forget it… sorry, can we just not take compensation?"

"Zero Egg, come back." Jin Chen said softly.

Ling Gun Gun shook its fur, strode over with vigorous steps to Jin Chen's side, full of mighty vigor.

Qin Zong unwillingly stared at Jin Chen, "You guys dare to raise lions in the village."

Jin Chen: "If you can, you raise one too; I'm not stopping you."

Qin Zong: "..."

Nutcase!

Who knows where you got that lion from.

Under Ling Gun Gun's threats, Jiang Ji got nothing out of it and was dejectedly dragged away by Qin Zong.

He didn't even realize it, but Qin Zong's anger was somewhat strange; even before leaving, his gaze kept fixed on the miraculous seed.

Lin Mian stood quietly by the path, taking in the man's expression.

The black cat twined around Lin Mian's leg, meowing a few times, refusing to let Lin Mian give them compensation.

Even though Lin Mian didn't understand, she could feel the grievance and dissatisfaction in the black cat's meow, crouching to hold the black cat in her arms.

Jin Chen: "Xiao Mo said those two were making it work in the orchard."

Black cat: "Meow! Meow meow meow!"

It faced the sky, doing a little cat's worship gesture.

Lin Mian then looked at Jin Chen, who said: "Tomorrow night is the full moon night; if Kun Kun forms a contract with it, it won't be tricked away by others."

After Jin Chen finished translating, he couldn't help but flick the black cat's forehead.

"From now on, you're renamed Idiot."

"Meow…"

After being criticized by the idol, the cat felt embarrassed, tilting its head to rub against Lin Mian's shoulder.

Lin Mian patted its sleek, smooth fur, thinking: "That's good; one can never be sure someone won't harbor ill intentions."

"... Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jin Chen stared at the black cat in Lin Mian's arms, his gaze growing increasingly hostile.

"Meow!"

The black cat was so startled its fur stood on end.

Ling Gun Gun returned to its normal size, leapt up, and snatched the black cat away.

Jin Chen didn't blink, still staring at Lin Mian, his hands clasped together.

Even without speaking, his whole body exuded an unhappy aura.

Lin Mian found it strange, approached and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Jin Chen mumbled vaguely, letting out a soft sigh: "Kun Kun really prefers furry animals."

"You don't like my gold coins, and you don't like me."

Lin Mian looked at him in surprise, not knowing how Jin Chen came to that conclusion.

After a few moments, Lin Mian inexplicably realized something, slowly raising her hand to also touch Jin Chen's hair.

"I don't dislike you."

He was still uncertain; the Divine Envoy shouldn't be so childish as to compete with a black cat for hugs.

Silence lingered for a while; Lin Mian pursed her lips and still chose to hug.

Jin Chen's expression softened, he happily curled his lips and held Lin Mian tight.

""... Indeed, they were fighting over this."

Lin Mian thought with a slight headache, yet inexplicably felt that the elf's silent jealousy… was kind of cute.

He couldn't help but laugh, patting Jin Chen's head, saying: "Thanks for protecting me just now."
