Chapter 56 An unexpected encounter with Musashi outside the perfume shop

After some discussion, the five girls continued to carefree shop for their favorite perfumes. Hanako stood out, perhaps wanting to turn the unpleasantness of lunch into motivation, and directly asked the little girl to buy two bottles of each kind of perfume in the store.

Xuan Mingtian certainly noticed Hua Zi's behavior, but what could he do? He could only accept the consequences of his own actions.

Just as Xuan Mingtian was lost in thought, the sound of someone hawking ice cream broke the silence in the perfume shop. Zhu Lan was stunned when she heard the word "ice cream."

Xiao Lan's daze was broken by the shout from the doorway again. She immediately said to Xuan Mingtian, "Xiao Tian, ​​hurry up and come with me to buy ice cream, right now."

An irresistible voice instantly entered Xuan Mingtian's ears, and Xuan Mingtian suddenly felt his life went blank, because in the anime of his previous life, Zhu Lan was famous for having a severe case of ice cream indecisiveness.

Xuan Mingtian first observed the expressions of his relatives and friends, but what annoyed him the most was that Xiao Gang and Yang Bin were also looking at him with longing eyes. The outcome was already clear: if he didn't agree, he would definitely be condemned by everyone present.

Left with no other choice, Xuan Mingtian could only say, "Let's go, everyone go buy some ice cream and choose your favorite. Lijia can come too."

We can't not call her "little loli," because her gaze is the same as Xiao Gang's and the others'; her little eyes seem to be telling Xuan Mingtian, "If you don't call me, I'll burst into tears right now."

As soon as Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, the group of people arrived at the ice cream stand in a grand procession.

Xuan Mingtian also arrived at the booth with the group, but what he saw shocked him. He saw a little girl who was only about 9 years old. The little girl was wearing a pink dress and had two braids in her hair. This little girl was Jessie, a future member of Team Rocket.

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Mingtian understood why she was selling ice cream here. In his previous life's records, Xuan Mingtian learned that when Musashi was 5 years old, her mother lost contact while searching for the Dream, so she was adopted by a poor family. She was often hungry and cold. After all, if someone was so poor that they had to eat snow, you can imagine how tragic her childhood was.

After observing for a while, Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but sigh that he had truly been born into a wealthy family. At the same time, he was also thinking that Musashi, who was nine years old at the time, would be going to nursing school in a year, so he should help her out and make this year easier for her. As for the future, he would leave it to Xiao Zhi.

While Xuan Mingtian was pondering, everyone had already bought their desired ice cream, except for Zhu Lan.

She was still muttering to herself, "Should I choose strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla? There are so many flavors, it's so hard to choose! What should I do?"

Xuan Mingtian listened to Xiao Lan's self-talk and his lips twitched instantly, but he ignored her. After all, it would be impossible to deal with Xiao Lan's condition in less than ten minutes or half an hour.

Xuan Mingtian then turned his gaze to Musashi and said, "Hey, kid, what's your name?"

Musashi was furious when she heard this. This brat was clearly younger than her, yet he dared to call himself a child. It was truly unbearable for an aunt to tolerate such behavior.

Musashi replied, "Hmph, my name is Musashi. Also, you're younger than me, so you should call me 'Miss Sister'."

"Oh, miss, how much is your ice cream?" Xuan Mingtian asked in a teasing tone.

The scene of their conversation was perfectly presented to everyone. Xiao Gang and Yang Bin were even more shocked. Xuan Mingtian was actually teasing a girl in front of his two fiancées. At the same time, they turned to look at Jun Sha'en, whose face was already clouded with anger. This time, no one could help Xuan Mingtian.

Musashi replied speechlessly, "Ice cream is 10 Alliance Coins each. What flavor do you like?"

Xuan Mingtian felt a slight chill behind him and immediately realized that it was Jun Sha'en emanating from him. He immediately changed his playful attitude and said seriously, "I want them all."

Zhu Lan, standing next to her, asked in confusion, "You bought them all, so how am I supposed to choose?"

"Relax, just buy them all. You can have whatever flavor you like. Why do you need to take your time choosing? Do you think you can choose in less than half an hour? You have ice cream decision paralysis." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian flicked Zhu Lan's forehead, making her blush.

Xuan Mingtian said seriously, "Miss Musashi, please calculate the price. I want it all, including your ice cream cart."

Musashi, looking incredulous, asked again, "Kid, are you really buying the ice cream truck too?"

Upon hearing Musashi's question, Xuan Mingtian looked at her and nodded firmly.

After receiving a positive reply, Musashi calculated the amount in less than a minute: the ice cream and the cart together cost 5,000 Alliance Coins.

Xuan Mingtian first had Xi Yue push the ice cream cart back to the flower shop, and then everyone else went back with her. But apart from Jun Sha'en, she was staring at him with her arms crossed.

"This card is for you. There's no PIN. And my name is Xuan Mingtian. I'll remember you."

Xuan Mingtian took out a regular Alliance card with a limit of 10, stuffed it into Musashi's pocket, and walked away with Jun Shaen without looking back.

This action left Musashi, whose face was flushed, stunned and unable to recover for a long time, while he kept muttering the name Xuan Mingtian to himself.

Back at the flower shop, Jun Shaen said with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Tian, ​​I don't object to you finding other women, but you must never forget me."

Jun Sha'en understood that Xuan Mingtian's strength and abilities meant he would definitely have many women in the future, but she didn't ask for anything else, only that they wouldn't forget her in the future.

This sentence completely baffled Xuan Mingtian, who said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Is the ice cream too cold and made your brain short-circuit?"

Jun Shaen said helplessly, "Isn't that right? You have to flirt with girls even when you're buying ice cream. I'd like to ask you what you're doing."

Xuan Mingtian looked at her speechlessly. The old saying was really true: when a woman is angry, it means her IQ drops to negative numbers. It's true what they say.

Xuan Mingtian replied irritably, "Sister, how did you get your position as sheriff? She's a little girl of about nine years old, pushing an ice cream cart all by herself. She's either an orphan or from a poor family. Wouldn't it be better if I just let her go home and rest?"

Xuan Mingtian's words left Jun Sha'en completely bewildered. Recalling the scene from earlier, she realized that he was absolutely right. She then lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at him again.

"You figured it out, didn't you? You know you were wrong, and now you feel ashamed? It's too late. If you don't coax me, I'll get angry," Xuan Mingtian said with a mischievous grin.

But because of Xuan Mingtian's words, Jun Sha'en's feelings of shame vanished instantly, and she even said fiercely, "Hmph, you want me to coax you? I'll call back in a bit and tell Auntie that you bullied me and went to play slot machines."

Xuan Mingtian's eyes widened as he stared intently at Jun Sha'en, who had run to Xiao Lan's side. "Damn it," he thought, "women and petty people are really hard to deal with!"

Time flew by, and around 4 o'clock, Grandma Li led everyone to her residence, a small villa next to the botanical garden. During this time, she also helped Hanako and Yuzuki select the ingredients needed for dinner.

With nothing else to do, the group was taken by Lijia to visit the botanical garden, a place that covered an area of ​​4 square meters, as big as 10 standard football fields in their previous life, and was surrounded by a sturdy fence.

It is divided into four areas: a flower field, a place for planting fruit trees, a place for planting flowering trees, and a lake of 25,000 square meters with a small island in the center. This creates a three-sided, one-sided terrain with beautiful scenery, even better than Xuan Mingtian's villa.

The planted fruits are varieties that can be harvested year-round, including: Orange Fruit that slightly restores stamina, Peach Fruit that cures poisoning, Apple Fruit that slightly restores energy, Banana Fruit that greatly restores stamina, and Persimmon Fruit that cures confusion.

The trees and fruit trees here not only nourish the Pokémon in the botanical garden, but also sell a certain amount of them. It can be said that this place is equivalent to a small ecosystem, so there are Pokémon of other types here, but the most common type is Grass.

Upon arriving at the flower field, one can see Butterfly and Needle Peak working diligently. Xuan Mingtian also notices that the flower field has been divided into 12 sections. It's easy to understand why they did this: to separate the flowering seasons so that they can bloom and collect nectar every month. After all, his own flower field is like this, although it is indeed much larger than Li Jia's.

It seems there's honey here too, and it's even big needle honey, as well as honey brewed by the Butterfly King. I'll have to try some later. Thinking of this, Xuan Mingtian's mouth watered involuntarily. He quickly glanced around and saw that everyone was attracted by the flower field. He then wiped his drool and continued to look at the flower field as if nothing had happened.

Next, we visited the flower and tree garden, which featured a variety of species, including osmanthus, magnolia, cherry blossom, and laurel trees. September is the peak blooming season for these trees.

Magnolia trees bloom from February to March, and cherry blossom trees bloom from March to April, so these two types of trees cannot be seen by the public. However, there is a way to cheat: let the tropical dragon come out and give those flowering trees a few grassy fields.

Looking at this scene, Xuan Mingtian sighed inwardly, "Truly, each flower retains its own fragrance."

At the same time, Xuan Mingtian was also thinking that after graduation, he must plant all kinds of flowers and trees on his family's ranch and farm.
