The crown prince did not put Qiao Mu on the ground until everyone else left.

Qiao Mu pattered to the pile of supplies and surveyed them in a good mood.

Besides weapons, there were also many household goods and fabric intended for young girls.

There were also a lot of eggs, meat, and food, as well as snacks like preserved fruits, candy, pastries, etc.

Yes, great for pacifying the foodie! Simply perfect!

Qiao Mu haggled with the sapling for a bit before managing to take out the Heart of Paradise and storing everything inside.

A look later, the paradise was nearly filled to the brim by her. The number of items in here put her heart at ease.

The little stoic’s lips stiffly stretched into a unique smile that caused the crown prince to be unable to restrain a smile, as well.

‘Masta…’

A flash of a white figure and a little white squirrel pounced out from the paradise and onto Qiao Mu’s face.

She angrily spat out several mouthfuls of fur.

She then ripped the little white squirrel from her face and ruthlessly flung it away.

“Chirpppp—” Chirpy nimbly somersaulted a few times in the air. Before it could leap at its little master again though, it was snatched from the air by a certain crown prince.

“Hm?” The crown prince shook a certain little squirrel, his eyes narrowing meaningfully.

This seemingly normal and ordinary little beast looked to be a…

“Chirppp, chirppp!” The little white squirrel humanly extended its forearms to clutch its head and curled into a ball.

‘Mastaaaaa—there’s a terrifying youth who wants to hurt Chirpy!!!’

The crown prince: …

It was crying so piteously. Someone ignorant might wonder what heartless and barbaric thing he did to it.

The child pattered to the crown prince and raised her arms. The crown prince logically interpreted it as the child’s request for a hug and lightly bent down to pick her up.

Qiao Mu: …

Something was not right!

‘Masta!’ Chirpy immediately rolled into her arms.

“Fetch me 10 pieces of high-grade magnetite.” The child poked the squirrel’s rotund body.

Chirpy made a sound in response and jumped into the Heart of Paradise. It swiftly came back out with 10 pieces of magnetite in its arms.

The child put away the Heart of Paradise while she was at it.

After the squirrel skillfully peeled the shells of the 10 pieces of magnetite, it chirped twice at Qiao Mu.

The crown prince was staring blankly at them and did not recover his wits until the child pushed the pieces of magnetite into his arms. His exquisite face looked to be shining as he said with a smile, “They are all… for me?”

The child expressionlessly nodded.

“Qiaoqiao is too wonderful.” The crown prince leaned closer to her with a grin.

‘Isn’t this a bit too close?!’ Qiao Mu’s eyes widened as his handsome face continued to enlarge in front of her eyes.

Until…

A light kiss landed on her forehead. It was gentle like a light breeze, slowly drifting past her.

“A reciprocal present for Qiaoqiao,” the crown prince said earnestly. Before the child could react, he had already carried the bewildered child out of the storeroom.

‘That seems… really fishy!’ Four words floated past in Qiao Mu’s mind.

He gifted her with a pile of things, so she gave him high-grade magnetite in return.

Very strange, wasn’t it even now? But then, he quickly returned another present to her…

‘Didn’t he… return too many gifts?’

Only

Thinking on it, the youth seemed to have suffered a loss. Hence, Qiao Mu dug out a few storage talismans from her pocket to give to him. “For you to use.”

Hidden Flower, who was standing by the door, felt like his chin was about to drop to the floor.

Why did he feel like the child was so extravagant?!

What was stranger was that their lord actually… laid two kisses on the girl’s forehead like no one was present? He even solemnly asked, “Is this reciprocal present enough?”

The child was flabbergasted. ‘Huh? We aren’t even again?’

‘His Highness is so shameless!’ Hidden Flower touched his nose and thought despite not knowing what they were up to.

However, based on that child’s confounded appearance, she must have been tricked by His Highness…
