Ye Jiu laughed, and at the same time, they had already arrived at the backyard, watching the crowd going back and forth fetching water. Ye Jiu asked, "Prince, do you see what they are doing?"
"Fetching water," the Prince replied, feeling something was amiss, "Wait, why are you fetching so much water and storing it in the courtyard? On such a hot day, it can't possibly freeze into ice, can it?"
"Whether it can turn into ice, why don't you take a look and see?" Ye Jiu teased deliberately.
The Prince, refusing to believe it, decided to go and see for himself.
The Prince walked up to the box that had just been placed down and chuckled dismissively, "This is still water, isn't it?"
He took a few more steps forward, commenting as he walked, "This is still water… this, too, is water…"
As he continued walking, something felt off.
"Wait, this..." the Prince leaned forward incredulously, even touching it with his hand, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "How did this turn into ice?"
