He discovered upon inspection that it was indeed thoroughly crushed, becoming a clump of crumbs.
Lian Hua cleared her throat awkwardly and glanced at Xiao Qing, then at Xiao Jizi. Hmm, it was better to give it to Xiao Jizi.
So she said to him with a natural demeanor, "Xiao Jizi, I'm very pleased with your good work. I'll bestow this Golden Silk Ruyi Cake upon you and hope you'll continue to excel. There will be rewards from the master if you do your future tasks well."
Xiao Jizi took it and was dumbfounded upon seeing it. This clump was the Golden Silk Ruyi Cake? Could it even be eaten in this state?
He hesitated several times, not daring to stuff it into his mouth. Looking up, he noticed both the Young Master and Xiao Qing staring at him, which made him somewhat panicked.
"Hmm? Why aren't you eating?" Lian Hua asked, arms crossed, fixating on him.
Xiao Qing was stifling her laughter on the side.
