"Are you going to smash them open?" King Coco questioned. His eyes stared at Mo Qiang like a pup whose favourite toy was about to be thrown into the washing machine.
Mo Qiang who was holding the coconut in her hands felt a stab of guilt while being stared at like this, she stared back at King Coco wanting to snap at him but before she could Xiao Jiao spoke up,
" Wow, are you going to lose your temper with a ten-year-old kid? I mean he doesn't even know anything," Xiao Jiao's remarks caused Mo Qiang to purse her lips as she turned to look at Mo Xifeng and asked, " Do you have a picker?"
Mo Xifeng who had finished taking the coconuts out of the stone wall turned to look at Mo Qiang and arched a brow. " What makes you think that I will have a picker? I do not pick my brow hair, I did laser treatment when I was sixteen." She remarked causing Mo Qiang's mouth to twitch.
Mo Qiang: "…"
" Alright, then go ahead and borrow it," Mo Qiang ordered as she waved her hand. She then turned to glance at the really concerned coconuts and stated, " I am not smashing them don't worry."
Only then did the coconuts heave a sigh of relief.
' Me and my soft heart,' Mo Qiang cursed herself as she knew that she had increased her workload once again after taking on another set of tasks that she did not want.
Once Mo Xifeng borrowed a picker, Mo Qiang sighed and sat down to start working once again. She used her green energy to break free the seed that was stuck inside the mutated coconuts and then picked them with the brow picker which could become long and short according to her preference.
If she had picked the seeds by smashing each coconut, Mo Qiang would be done with her work before noon but after picking each seed properly Mo Qiang's work only finished by the evening and by the time she purified the seeds into the small white pearl like seeds, Mo Qiang was so tired that she felt like every drop of energy was sucked from her body.
She threw herself on the ground and closed her eyes while trying to ease the stinging sensation in her back. The wind that fluttered across the chasm was clearer and much cleaner than it was before though there were still toxins floating along the wind as Mo Qiang was yet to clear the ocean on Long Ju's territory.
The coconut seeds were sitting in a corner while King Coco commanded the rest of the coconuts to push the dried-up coconuts back into the wall. He turned to look at Mo Qiang who was lying on the ground with his black eyes moving as he tottered over to where Mo Qiang was lying.
" Are you really going to do what you promised?" King Coco asked stiffly. He was looking forward to the day when their tribe would dominate the world!
Humans shall know the worth of coconuts!
