Each of them had made their own gains, and once they had filled the required quota, Wufu and the others stopped wandering around Cloud Tower. As she put it, "Just enough is good; don't drop the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds—being like a monkey picking corn is unacceptable behavior."
"Young Master Xiao Wu, what do you mean by a monkey picking corn?" Tie Yong asked curiously.

Seeing them each holding something, Yang Yibin's expression was complicated beyond words, resembling envy, jealousy, and a bit of reluctance, as if those things were his but had been taken by others.
