"I must say that I'm really impressed. It has only been three months but the appearance of my Snow Fields had changed drastically."
The old man said while praising Li Ming as they took a tour through the nursery.
The evidence of her hard work was on display in front of their eyes as for the first time in a millennium, flowers were blooming in the Snow Fields.
"I'm actually flattered. It's a rare chance to hear you giving compliments to anyone." Li Ming replied with a soft smile.
The old man broke out into chuckles as he replied, "Well, you have earned this with your hard work. I can already imagine fruits and vegetables growing in those plants very soon. I'm ready to accept my defeat."
Li Ming stopped in her tracks as she turned to look at the old man in surprise. She did not expect him to suddenly announce her as the winner of their challenge.
