Just like she always did when she brushed her teeth, Bai Qingqing filled her mouth with water, then used the thorny fruit to gently brush her teeth.

Surprisingly, she instantly tasted a refreshing sensation in her mouth, like peppermint. Clearly, this fruit had the effect of cleansing one’s teeth. Unlike the disgusting taste of toothpaste when swallowed, when Bai Qingqing tried swallowing a little of this water, she instantly felt a refreshing and clean sensation in her throat.

Bai Qingqing took out the thorny fruit and looked at it, then said, sounding delighted, “It’s very useful.”

Moreover, the toughness of the thorns was perfect. As the thorns were dense, it felt no different from brushing her teeth with a toothbrush.

Cortis stared at the thorny fruit in Bai Qingqing’s hand and flicked out his tongue with a hissing sound to capture the subtle smell in the air. He said, “I’ve seen the fruits of this plant before.”

“Really?” Bai Qingqing gazed at Cortis in anticipation. “Where? Is it far away?”

Cortis smiled lightly. “Not far. I’ll go and dig it out for you.”

“The rain is so heavy…” Bai Qingqing asked as she gazed out the window. “How long will you be gone for?”

Cortis hesitated a moment, before replying, “Three to four days, to and fro.”

Bai Qingqing said decisively, “Then forget it. You can dig it come next spri… light rainy season. There will be a higher chance it will survive.”

Cortis stroked Bai Qingqing’s head dotingly, not saying a word.

Feeling jealous of their interaction, Parker squeezed between the two of them. “Qingqing, what would you like to eat today? I’ll go and catch it.”

“It’s raining so heavily. I’ll eat whatever you manage to catch. Anything is fine,” Bai Qingqing said.

“… Oh.” The pitiful Parker was sent away the instant he managed to butt his way into their conversation.
