After leaving Elder Brother's house, Jiang Feng took bun back to his own home.
He took out the Spiritual energy seeds that the System had rewarded him earlier.
When he opened it, he discovered that these seeds didn't seem like ordinary seeds at all.
The Spiritual energy seeds were fuller and rounder.
Just looking at them, you could tell they were exceptionally valuable.
However, no matter how much Jiang Feng examined them, he couldn't figure out what kind of seeds this bag contained.
"Oh well, never mind. I'll just plant these seeds when it gets dark, and see what kind of fruit they can grow," Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
It was just past noon now, the hottest time of the day.
So he could only plant them at night.
But just as Jiang Feng was about to put the seeds away, the panda bun suddenly ran over.
"Wha wha!"
Bun stretched out its paws and placed them on top of the Spiritual energy seeds.
Jiang Feng quickly cried "Oh no!" internally.
But before he could say anything, bun directly grabbed a few Spiritual energy seeds and stuffed them into its mouth.
"Don't, bun! Spit them out quickly!"
Jiang Feng hurriedly went over, trying to pry open bun's mouth.
But bun was extremely naughty, clenching its teeth tightly and refusing to open its mouth.
It kept shaking its head, unwilling to spit the Spiritual energy seeds back out.
Finally Jiang Feng helplessly stopped his actions.
He could only watch as bun chewed up and swallowed the Spiritual energy seeds.
This little guy really was a glutton.
It wanted to taste everything.
"Oh well, go ahead and eat them. Just don't be surprised if a flower starts growing in your stomach," Jiang Feng said with a hint of exasperation as he knocked bun's little head, then swiftly put the rest of the Spiritual energy seeds away.
"Wha wha!"
Having eaten the seeds, bun didn't understand Jiang Feng's words at all.
It only knew that what it just ate tasted delicious, and it liked delicious things.
But when it wanted to eat more, Jiang Feng had already put the seeds away.
So bun drooped its front paws over Jiang Feng's legs, looking at him pitifully.
It begged Jiang Feng to give it some more.
But Jiang Feng was unaffected.
He needed those seeds for planting, he couldn't let this little guy eat them all.
"Alright, there's no more. I'll get you some other tasty treats later," he said.
"It's still early. I'm going to take a nap first."
Jiang Feng rubbed bun's head, then went back into the room to sleep.
Seeing this, bun also followed him in, curling into a ball next to Jiang Feng.
Except bun didn't actually sleep at all. It stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, pretending to be asleep.
...
Time flew by quickly.
When Jiang Feng woke up, it was already dusk outside.
Sitting up in bed, Jiang Feng gazed out at the setting sun and was suddenly overcome with an immense feeling of loneliness, as if he were separated from this world.
"Wha wha!"
At this moment, bun's voice sounded from next to him, interrupting Jiang Feng's thoughts.
Jiang Feng turned to look and saw bun resting its head against him, its eyes bright as it stared at him.
Seeing its silly and lovable appearance instantly pulled Jiang Feng out of his lonely mood from before.
"Bun, you're too cute!"
Jiang Feng excitedly hugged bun's big head in his hands and planted a loud kiss right on its forehead.
This kiss left bun completely confused.
It opened its mouth wide, glancing at Jiang Feng with its beady eyes.
It didn't seem to understand what had just happened at all.
"What's wrong, bun?"
Jiang Feng stroked its head and curiously asked.
"Wha wha!"
Having gotten over its initial confusion, bun's grinning mouth stretched even wider.
It clumsily climbed onto Jiang Feng.
Just as Jiang Feng wondered what this little guy was trying to do, bun directly started licking his face!
Jiang Feng was so shocked that he quickly dodged and tried to push bun away.
"Go away, bun! Don't do that!"
"Wha wha!"
Seeing that Jiang Feng detested its affection, bun paused its actions.
It wobbled unsteadily off of Jiang Feng and plopped down on the bed, even turning its back to him.
Jiang Feng distinctly saw bun's plump back seem to let out a sigh.
This little guy was actually mad!
Jiang Feng smiled wryly as he turned bun back around and planted another kiss on its big forehead.
"Wha wha!"
This kiss immediately made the previously angry bun grin widely again.
It even tried to climb on Jiang Feng again to lick his face.
"Okay okay, let's go plant things now," Jiang Feng said hastily as he got out of bed, hauling bun up with him.
After arriving in the yard, Jiang Feng found the farming tools he needed. Then he brought bun to the backyard of the house.
There used to be a small vegetable patch back there, around half a mu in area.
But because Jiang Feng hadn't been home in years, it was completely overgrown with weeds now.
"You stay here and play by yourself. I need to work," Jiang Feng told bun.
He left it to play on its own, while he started by clearing out all the weeds in the patch.
Then he swung a hoe and began turning over the soil.
Sitting there, bun tilted its head and looked puzzled as it watched Jiang Feng.
It didn't understand what this human was doing at all.
But when it saw Jiang Feng planting the Spiritual energy seeds, bun became a little anxious.
That stuff...tastes good!
Can't waste it!
"Wha wha!" Bun hurried over to Jiang Feng on its little short legs, blocking him from planting.
"Wha wha!"
It looked up at him, mouth open as it called out.
Seeing bun like this made Jiang Feng laugh.
This little guy must still want to eat those seeds!
So Jiang Feng put down his hoe, crouched down, and stroked bun's head.
"Bun, I'm planting right now."
"Wha wha?"
Planting?
Bun looked at Jiang Feng, confused.
"By planting these things in the ground, we can grow lots of tasty stuff later..."
Jiang Feng explained to bun as simply as he could, using gestures as well.
Comprehension dawned in bun's previously bewildered eyes, replaced by delight.
It grinned again.
Seeing that bun seemed to understand, Jiang Feng continued working the soil and planting.
At this point bun didn't keep sitting there anymore either.
It got to its feet and came over next to Jiang Feng, using its paws to dig at the earth too.
It even kept calling out "wha wha" as it dug, seeming to be in a great mood.
Jiang Feng smiled wryly at bun.
"Bun, what are you doing? Look how dirty you've gotten yourself!"
Bun was now covered in mud, its originally white fur all blackened.
It was the picture perfect image of a naughty child.
As it dug, bun glanced back at Jiang Feng and called out a couple times before turning back and continuing to dig.
"Wha wha!"
I'm planting!
Seeing that bun seemed to want to play, Jiang Feng just shook his head with a smile and stopped paying attention to it. If it wanted to play around, then let it. He could just give it a bath when they got back inside later.
...
The setting sun dyed the western skies red.
Beneath the lingering glow of dusk, man and panda bear worked diligently side by side, neither hindering the other.
But when Jiang Feng happened to turn and see what bun was doing after finishing digging a hole, he was left rather speechless.
"Bun, what are you doing?!"
Jiang Feng asked curiously, setting his things down.
Bun had been fully focused on its task. At Jiang Feng's question, it looked up in confusion, then broke into a grin when it saw him.
It held out its little paw towards the hole it had just dug.
"Wha wha!"

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
