With Qin Dou's reminder, everyone turned their gaze to the national little Wang. He really did look a bit like it.
The national little Wang became anxious and stood up, cursing, "What bullshit! These are persimmons, look."
After speaking, the national little Wang directly smeared his hand across Jiang Xin's mouth, getting Jiang Xin's whole mouth messy.
"You damn thing, can't even watch the persimmons properly, and let one roll under my butt."
"Peh... What the hell are you doing?" Jiang Xin's face turned red with anger.
"If you want to prove it's not shit, why are you smearing it on my mouth?"
The national little Wang ignored Jiang Xin's scolding, took out two persimmons from his pocket, and said, "These are persimmons from the celestial realm. Eating them makes you beautiful, promotes longevity, and they are absolutely divine."
Only then did everyone realize they were indeed persimmons. They were round and plump, looking bright red, and some were tempted to eat them.
The national little Wang reached into the lake, washed his hands, and wiped away the residue on his pants.
Having clarified everything, the national little Wang leaned over the edge of the boat, washed the two persimmons in his hand clean, took a bite, and exclaimed in surprise, "They're so damn sweet. Lin'er, there's one for you too."
Jiang Xin, watching from the side, swallowed hard. He quickly washed the only persimmon in his hand and ate it along with the others.
"Holy crap, where did you get these persimmons? Let's pick some to eat too," Qin Dou couldn't help but ask.
"Just up there. You guys go ahead," the national little Wang said, pointing upwards.
"Xiao Wen, come with me, let's pick a few for everyone to try." Qin Dou quickly jumped off the boat.
"Got it."
Upon hearing the words "beauty and longevity," Qin Wen became impatient to try them.
"Let's go together." Liu Jingru also followed.
Subsequently, the group ran up and picked seven or eight persimmons. They shared them and began to eat them bite by bite.
"The taste of these persimmons is different, it feels especially sweet and easy to swallow," Qin Dou said, propping himself up with one arm and savoring the persimmon.
"Give me one, I've finished mine," the national little Wang said, reaching out to Qin Dou.
"Scram! Why didn't you think of us when you were picking them?" Qin Dou cursed.
If the national little Wang hadn't squashed the persimmon, they wouldn't have known about them.
The national little Wang smiled sheepishly upon hearing this and pointed at Jiang Xin, saying, "You can blame Jiang Xin for this. He said he wouldn't tell you first and would tell you after he ate his fill."
Jiang Xin was about to curse again upon hearing this.
"You fed me shit... peh, persimmons earlier, and now you're slandering me?"
He couldn't bear to take the blame for this.
"Stop explaining, you two are exactly the same," Qin Dou interrupted Jiang Xin's explanation.
"I'll give you one. Eat it quickly and then go row the boat." Qin Wen handed one to the national little Wang.
"Xiao Wen, you're still the best to your brother." The national little Wang quickly took the persimmon handed by Qin Wen and began to eat it without a word.
Everyone swallowed the persimmons in their hands quickly, like a dog chewing on a bone, and began to row the boat on the lake.
The lake water was so clear that they could see fish swimming below. As the boat glided over, the fish at the bottom were all startled and fled.
"It's so beautiful here, let's take more photos and save them on our phones," Qin Wen said with emotion, looking at the scenery before her.
"It's a shame there's no signal, otherwise I'd livestream here and let my fans see this earthly paradise."
Xia Lin felt it was truly a pity that such beautiful scenery couldn't be shared with her fans in a timely manner.
"If only we could livestream here."
"Look, isn't that a small dog on the mountain?" Ma Yuqin suddenly pointed at the rocks on the mountain.
A dog-like creature was lying on a rock, sleeping.
Everyone heard the sound and looked over, and it was indeed.
"But it doesn't look like a dog."
"That's not a dog, why doesn't it look like one to me?" The national little Wang craned his neck to look.
"Quick, row over and see!" Qin Wen urged.
The group quickly rowed together towards the shore.
The little dog, which had been sleeping soundly on the rock, suddenly stood up, its eyes fixed on everyone.
"Doggy..."
The national little Wang called out.
In a moment, the little dog's body suddenly grew, reaching a height of two meters, and a pair of horns even sprouted from its head.
"Ah..."
"Quick, quick, hurry and row away!"
As everyone was stunned with fear, the national little Wang frantically rowed the boat, turning around to flee.
"Didn't Xia Shao say there would be no danger here?"
"How is there such a ghastly thing?"
The little dog's sudden transformation did not harm them. It just let out a roar, as if declaring its sovereignty and telling them this was its territory.
"Beast, return to your original form!"
Xia Feng suddenly appeared in the sky, hovering in mid-air.
With Xia Feng's appearance, everyone felt a sense of relief.
Especially Liu Jingru, Qin Wen, and Ma Yuqin, who were mesmerized, feeling as if Xia Feng had descended like a god, coming to pick them up on auspicious clouds.
In a moment, the three of them were lost in a trance, their eyes only on Xia Feng.
A feeling of infatuation surged forth...
"Ying..."
The little dog reverted to its original form, then leaped into Xia Feng's arms, rubbing its head against his chest.
Liu Jingru and the other two suddenly felt their lives were not as good as a dog's. They also wished they could rub against Xia Feng's chest like the dog.
"Brother," Xia Lin waved at Xia Feng from below.
Xia Feng landed directly on the bow of the boat, holding the dog in his arms.
"It's so cute, Brother, what is this? Why does it look like a dog?" Xia Lin asked excitedly, looking at the little dog in Xia Feng's arms.
"This is a pseudo-qilin," Xia Feng explained.
"What is a pseudo-qilin?" Xia Lin pressed.
"It's a hybrid of a qilin, possessing the bloodline of a qilin," Xia Feng said.
Xia Lin nodded after hearing this.
"Do you want to hold it?" Xia Feng asked, bringing the qilin closer to Xia Lin.
"Can I? But I'm afraid it'll bite me." Xia Lin was both eager and hesitant.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you," Xia Feng reassured her.
Seeing Xia Feng say this, Xia Lin began to tentatively reach out her hand. She first stroked the qilin's head. Seeing no reaction, Xia Lin boldly took it and held it in her arms.
"Wow... it feels so soft and fluffy, so cute." Xia Lin's expression was one of adoration.
All girls have a mystical fondness for cute animals.
Don't ask why, science cannot explain it.
Seeing how much she liked it, Xia Feng smiled and said, "Lin'er, if you like it, when we go back, you can take it with you. Let it stay by your side from now on."
"Really? That's great!" Xia Lin exclaimed excitedly.
Liu Jingru and the others also gathered around to stroke the qilin in Xia Lin's arms, finding it more endearing the more they looked at it.
Xia Lin patted the qilin's head and said solemnly,
"I'll name you Doudou. Do you hear me? You'll be called Doudou from now on. If you're disobedient, I'll spank you."
