the batter for the pancakes once the
batter was ready it was placed into Gian
space allowing for easy access when
needed 20 shrimp soldiers and crab
generals worked in unison under gian's
guidance skewering fruits with
remarkable efficiency finishing off 200
lb of Hawthorne in a single evening
meanwhile Gian G busied herself by
simmering syrup quickly coating the
skewered fruits with it before setting
them aside to cool the task of coating
over a thousand skewers of Hawthorne
would have taken her an eternity alone
so she taught Shia and the shrimp
Soldiers the syrup making technique
fortunately they adapted swiftly wasting
little of the Hawthorne the assembly
line for candied Hawthorne operated
seamlessly producing an astonishing
thousand skewers in one night exhausted
G on G leaned back on the sofa for a
moment's respit only to be approached by
C NOA and Dudu who eagerly offered her a
massage with their Tiny Paws their
excessive flattery raised her suspicions
what were they truly after as they
kneaded her shoulders Doo piped up my
sister and I wish to visit the market
can you take us along hearing this shiai
the bamboo Spirit snake and the Crimson
flame snake joined in expressing their
desire to go as well proclaiming that
they had never been before Gian G felt a
twinge of concern the market was too
crowded and she worried about the
possibility of them being taken by
ill-intentioned individuals no it's too
dangerous she insisted shiai countered I
can fly no one can catch me but you
slipped out without permission what if
the Maestro of Melody or someone who
knows you finds out giangi replied her
worry evident shiai displeased darted
out the window despite her call to
return do do then chimed inmost people
wouldn't catch me and I can grow larger
so I knew I chimed in with a couple of
meow I promised to stay by your side and
won't wander off just as she was about
to refuse them Again The Villa began to
tremble with a sigh Gian ascended to the
second floor and brought down the little
Spirit Turtle what do you want now she
asked I want to go to the market too it
replied what would you do there you're
so small that you could easily be
trampled and you can't even shop the
little Spirit Turtle pointed at dooo I
can ride on its back the bamboo Spirit
snake and the Crimson flame snake also
climbed onto gian's shoulders assuring
her they wouldn't run off at that moment
shiai flew back in through the window
now transformed from its usual black to
a striking white Gian leaped up in
Surprise shiai what happened to you with
excitement shiai explained now they
won't recognize me can I go with you
giangi frowned what did you do is it
toxic shiai fluttered in front of her
looking innocently up it's just sap from
a tree harmless but it washes off in
water with a resign sigh Gian noted
there are too many of you we won't fit
in the market stalls little gray
observing the eager crowd spoke upitt
Hong Hong and I will stay home and rest
the giant Spirit snake added I won't go

waking up and hasn't absorbed the chin
Ling grass fully I need to stay with it
the giant Spirit snake looked weary as
if it had been losing sleep over little

little ones lined up obediently Little
Spirit turtle bamboo Spirit snake
Crimson flame snake shiai Sena and do

shiai the others had contracts with

being captured by someone with ill
intentions shiai could fly away at any
moment needing no excuse to leave Gian

behavior for now if you all do well
