indefensible are all these mberry trees
yours g& G did not directly answer the
girl's question but countered with one
of her own the girl hands on her hips
and brow furrowed replied of course I
personally planted every single tree in
this Grove she surveyed the trio
noticing the absence of their baskets
and began to doubt her own eyes how
strange I distinctly saw da G and G
seized the opportunity to interject we
accidentally wandered here and got lost
in the Mulberry Grove and we were
searching for a way out the girl
appeared somewhat skeptical
asking are you truly not here
specifically to steal my mulberry leaves
the three nodded in unison for they were
not lying they had only just decided to
gather the leaves on a whim not with any
malicious intent seeing their sincerity
the girl relaxed her guard saying in
that case follow me gi& G accompanied
the girl as she led them forward until
they arrived at a thatched cottage they
sat at a table outside the cottage where
the girl served each of them a cup of
tea I apologize for misunderstanding you
earlier this is Mulberry leaf tea that I
dried myself please have a taste gi& G
lifted her cup scanning it for poison
before taking a small sip the tea had a
fragrant Aroma and a refreshing
aftertaste quite delightful the girl
resembling an NPC began to share her
woes lamenting recently there have been
so many people stealing my mulberry
leaves the trees are almost stripped
bare after emphasizing her frustration
she slammed her hand on the table
exclaiming the worst part is that group
only targets one tree at a time startled
Tang Yin accidentally spilled her
Mulberry leaf tea quickly wiping it up
with her sleeve I'm so sorry it was a
little hot I have a sensitive tongue and
was afraid of the heat g& G coughed a
couple of times adding indeed that's
utterly outrageous after all the hard
work put into growing those mulberry
trees it's unacceptable for that group
to take advantage of them the girl as if
finding a kindred spirit grasped g& G's
hand and said exactly you have no idea
how much effort I put into cultivating
these mulberry trees for more than an
hour the girl recounted her experiences
in planting and protecting the trees as
well as selecting and drying the best
mulberry leaves after becoming parched
from her own narrative she retreated
inside to pour herself another cup of
mberry Leaf Tea Upon returning she
casually introduced herself my name is
shiao Yun what are your names after the
three introduced themselves Shaun stood
declaring in that case why don't you
stay here for a meal Shaun appeared to
have a purpose and the trio readily
accepted her invitation to dine shortly
thereafter she began to bring out
various dishes here we have cold
mulberry leaves steamed Mulberry Leaf
eggs and mulberry Leaf glutenous rice
porridge it may be a bit simple but I
hope you can make do with it as she set
the table she explained I never imagine
mulberry leaves could be transformed
into dishes this is my first time
tasting such food sh you and seemed
extremely proud asserting the mulberry
leaves from my home are the finest on
chiching island and my dishes are the
most delicious upon hearing the name
chiching Island gi& G felt a flicker of
recognition though she couldn't quite
place it the island they were on must
indeed be chiching island the three
enjoyed their meal while engaging in
conversation remarking on how delectable
the food was surprised that mulberry
leaves could tasted so good once they
had eaten their fill the trio assisted
in washing the dishes and just as they
finished the last bowl a bell hanging at
the cottage's entrance chimed
unexpectedly Shaun quickly dried her
hands and made her way to the Mulberry
Grove with gi& G and her companions
promptly following they discovered three
