I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"Is Kal'tsit good at growing flowers?"

On the way back, Bai Zhou chatted with the lynx.

"I wouldn't say I'm an expert, I just have a superficial understanding."

The lynx gave the same answer as always.

"However, there are quite a lot of these seeds, and they will die if they are not planted in time."

The lynx roughly counted at least thirteen or fourteen seeds in the small bag in her hand; she couldn't possibly raise so many seeds by herself.

"Your Highness."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

The lynx looked up at Bai Zhou and put the bag of seeds into the small pouch at his waist.

"These seeds are for Your Highness. Please treat them well."

"...Since it was given to me by Kal'tsit, I will definitely take good care of it."

Seeing that Bai Zhou agreed, the lynx's ears twitched with satisfaction.

"Planting flowers..."

Back in the palace, Bai Zhou looked at the bag of seeds in his hand and pondered deeply.

"Your Highness may wish to try planting one first, and save the rest."

"Okay, let's give it a try first."

During the day, he found an empty flowerpot, dug some soil from the garden, and then, following the lynx's guidance, planted a seed.

"Water it a little more... and then just wait for it to grow."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Once the seeds are planted, the lynx has no intention of disturbing the daytime any longer.

"Then... goodbye, Your Highness."

"See you later, Kal'tsit. Come to my place for dinner tonight too; I'll prepare some hot dishes."

“If you don’t mind, I will come and bother you.”

The lynx took the flowerpot, bid farewell to the daytime, and then quickly walked towards its room.

"..."

He stared at the pot of soil during the day, and then a thought struck him.

"In that case, it wouldn't be considered precocious, would it?"

However, he used his power of spring growth and summer development to allow that seed to skip the seedling stage and grow directly into a mature plant.

"The gardenia is cut into six petals, and the room is carved with seven lines."

The leaves are lush and green, and the petals are clustered together like the moon and snow.

"Hey, Little White!"

As Bai Zhou was admiring the flowers, he suddenly felt a weight on his body, and then he heard Nian's signature call.

"What are you doing...flowers? Why are you suddenly growing flowers?"

In the slightly dark room where the sun was obscured by clouds, Nian immediately spotted the pot of brightly colored gardenias.

"A friend gave it to me; I'll keep it as a pet when I have some free time."

"Friend... Oh."

She didn't ask any more questions, but instead let go of him and started playing with his hair.

"Sister?"

Shh, don't move.

He removed the hairpin he used to hold up the part of his hair, and then with a flick of his hand, an orange-amber jade hairpin appeared in his palm.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, the length is just right."

After re-tying her hair back into its original bun, Nian nodded in satisfaction.

"Sister, what's this?"

"It's your weapon."

Nian repeated the above action, taking the jade book down and placing it in Bai Zhou's hand.

"This is a gun that I made in imitation of Tianyue... uh, I should call it a gun."

During the day, he held the jade scroll in his hand, his eyes sweeping over it, its shape and form coming into view.

This jade scroll is about four inches long and its color is orange like amber. Although it is made of jade, it has both the warmth of jade and a touch of metallic quality, which is truly amazing.

Next, examine the shape of the jade scroll.

One end of this jade scroll resembles the tip of a spear, with a finely shaped double edge, while the other end resembles the base of a mountain, giving it a sense of weight and solidity.

"It's like those cauldrons; only the earth's ley line power injected into your body can activate it."

"Okay, go ahead and try it out and see how it works."

Nian urged him repeatedly, and Bai Zhou did not hesitate, pouring his own power into the jade scroll.

"boom--!"

After a loud bang, the floor tiles in front of Bai Zhou were crushed into a pile of fragments by the gun barrel. If he hadn't been holding on, the whole house would have been shattered.

"This gun..."

Bai Zhou probably knows why no one else can use it except him.

After being infused with the power of the earth's veins and transformed into a spear, this jade scroll weighs about the same as Tianyue. In fact, it can continue to increase in weight if more earth vein power is infused into it during the day.

Although Nian possessed great strength, his human body was incapable of moving mountains. As for others, they couldn't even touch them. These billions of tons of guns were truly deadly if they even grazed; if hit by one, they would be reduced to ashes.

"..."

When Bai Zhou looked up, Nian revealed an astonishingly beautiful appearance.

"To be able to forge such a weapon, I truly live up to my reputation!"

The surprise lasted only a few seconds before Nian puffed out his chest and proudly raised his head.

"Xiaobai, let's give it a name. A good weapon will be much more effective if it has a fitting name."

"A name?"

He stared at the gun during the day, pondering deeply.

The spear is shaped like a flower spear, with a total length of 2.33 meters. The spearhead is shaped like a willow leaf, and the blade is sharp. The long shaft is like a rock, having lost its jade-like texture, and is engraved with many mountain shapes.

The reason why Nian was unsure whether it was a gun was because it did not have the red tassel that is common on guns; it was like a full moon missing an inch, which was quite strange.

"An ancient book says that there is a mountain named Buzhou, which has two meanings. One is that it is the highest mountain in the world, and even Tianyue pales in comparison to it."

"Another meaning is the beauty of imperfection. This spear is excellent in both form and ability, but its purpose is unclear. It is not suitable as a spear, nor as a lance. It is almost perfect, but lacking that one point, it is fitting to call it imperfect."

"Buzhou...Mount Buzhou..."

Nian muttered the name, then nodded slightly in agreement.

"It's a good name."

However, it's still a bit of a pity that it's the end of the year.

"The enemy probably won't remember the name of this gun."

"Ordinary enemies wouldn't need it. It's really... a real shame."

It is quite tragic for a weapon to be used so little.

"I actually hope we never have to use it."

By day, the power was withdrawn, and Buzhou was transformed back into the Jade Scroll.

"Sister, please help me change."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Nian took the jade book and once again pinned it to her hair bun during the day.

"Please sit down, sister, and have some tea and snacks. I'll tidy up these pebbles."

The careless act shattered seven or eight bricks, causing cracks in the surrounding bricks as well. It would be quite unsightly if the bricks weren't cleaned up and replaced.

"Uh-huh."

Nian sat obediently in a chair eating snacks, while Bai Zhou used the power of the earth's veins to gather the rubble back together and restore it. In no time, he had cleaned up the messy ground and made it look brand new.

"Sister, you've been busy with this matter these past few days, haven't you?"

In just a few days, the Buzhou Book was forged; one can imagine how hard the year must have been.

"Uh-huh."

The little girl chewed on her snacks, nodding her head, her tail swaying gently with her chewing, looking quite happy.

"Then, sister, you'll have some free time today."

"Uh-huh……"

As Nian Zheng nodded in response, his body suddenly paused, and his jade-like tail involuntarily curled up shyly.

"Sister...I miss you."

He gently embraced the fairy's waist, pressed his face against hers, and carefully felt her warmth and breath.

"You miss me this much after only a few days?"

After swallowing his snack, he took a sip of tea to clear his throat, then said with a helpless expression:

"I really can't do anything with you. In that case, I'll spend the next few days keeping Xiaobai company."

"Yes. My older sister is the best."

"..."
