At 1 p.m., the weather gradually heated up again, so they packed up the tableware and floral cloth, and returned to Taohua Village.
Yan Hongxia had no interest in mahjong and chess, but was slightly intrigued by Xiaocui's carving work.
She picked up a carving knife and imitated a little monkey Xiaocui had previously carved.
"Scratch, scratch, scratch—"
Moments later, an identical little monkey appeared in her hand.
"Simple!" Yan Hongxia picked up another piece of wood, her carving knife twirled and danced, and quickly another wooden carved peach blossom appeared.
Xiaocui: ⊙_⊙
Do Sword Cultivators get a boost in carving skills?
Then, throughout the afternoon, each of the sale-ready carvings Xiaocui had prepared gained a fraternal twin from a different father and mother.

After spending a cool afternoon under the old peach tree, they had dinner in Taohua Village, and the three of them then bid farewell and headed back to Tonglin County.
