Chapter 995: Chapter 995 Ice Queen 6

Inside the castle, all was quiet and still.

The people sitting around the fire, holding the flowers they had planted, did not speak. Only the occasional crackle of burning wood could be heard.

Ed added two table legs to the fire pit.

Unable to bear it, Eric said, "Add some more, make the fire bigger and warmer."

"What a joke, a bigger fire is warm, but it also burns through firewood," Ed retorted with displeasure, glancing at him. "If we burn it all, we’ll have to go out again."

"Even if the fire burns slowly, this wood will eventually run out, and then we’ll have to go out all the same," Eric replied. "We should bring back more tables and chairs."

Ed was a bit irritated. "Easy for you to say. Do you know how hard it is to gather a batch of wood? If you’re so capable, you go gather supplies next time!"

Eric shrank his neck, blew a breath of warm air into his hands, and responded, "I’ll go, just add some more wood, I’m really too cold."

Ed snorted, preparing to grab some wood.

But Brian stopped him with a hand.

"What now?" Eric said anxiously. "Don’t skimp on the wood! I already said, I’ll go out and find supplies later, okay? At least let me warm up now!"

"We can’t go out right now," Brian glanced at him calmly and said, "Going to the city area to look for supplies takes at least two hours round trip. And the supplies aren’t just lying on the streets for you to pick up, most places are sealed in ice. It’s very challenging and time-consuming to search, and shortly the woman will return to check on the flower seeds. At this critical moment, it’s best for us all to stay put and not go out."

Having heard this, Eric looked somewhat dissatisfied but ultimately did not persist in adding more wood.

Chang Weicai looked at the three of them and kindly urged, "Everyone hold on a bit longer. Once the seeds germinate, we’ll be past the first hurdle..."

"Just a few hours, can they even germinate..." Ed muttered under his breath.

Without much confidence himself, Chang Weicai sighed and picked up a small bowl beside the fire pit—the ice in it had melted into warm water.

Chang Weicai picked up the bowl and carefully watered around the edge of the cup lid, ensuring the soil inside the lid remained moist.

Seeing this, others began to add water to their own cup lids.

Chang Weicai cautioned them, "Don’t use too much water, don’t flood it, and don’t pour directly onto the seeds; the water flow will wash away the topsoil."

"What a hassle..." Despite complaining, Ed still did as told.

He was very careful and slow, even holding his breath, but the force of the pour seemed excessive. A lot of the soil was washed away in an instant, revealing a bit of tender green beneath the surface.

"...Hey? Hey? Hey, hey!!!" Ed cried out, "Hey! Old man, take a look, is this germinating?!"

Chang Weicai hurried over, Brian and Eric also crowded in close.

Under the firelight, that small patch of new green in the mud was particularly eye-catching.

"Yes, yes, your seed has germinated!" Chang Weicai hastily said, "Put it down carefully, don’t touch it, be very careful!"

"I think mine has germinated too," Brian picked up his cup lid and brought it before Chang Weicai.

Not so obvious, but slightly visible, was a small bump of a sprout beneath the soil.

Chang Weicai quickly looked at his own, the freshly watered soil was moist dark black, not revealing any change, and he couldn’t help feeling somewhat dejected.

Then, the center of the soil trembled slightly. A small, tender green shoot emerged from the dirt, so tiny and frail it seemed even a breath too strong could harm it.

Chang Weicai slowly set down the cup lid and let out a long breath. "Mine has germinated, too..."

Everyone unanimously turned their gazes towards Eric.

His was the only seed yet to sprout.

Eric held his cup lid, staring at it intently with a look of deep resentment, "...Strange, why isn’t mine moving?"
