A fat Sea Spirit Gull imbued with Spiritual Light flew happily across the sky like a simpleton, when suddenly... whoosh! A stone shot up from below and... bang!
It plummeted to the ground.
A fat and lazy Dog quickly ran over, scooped it up with glee, plucked its feathers, cleaned it, removed its entrails, and then roasted it... spreading Chili oil with the left hand, applying Sauce with the right.
Not just one, eight roasted gulls floated above a bonfire.
The aroma was tantalizing.
While humming a tune and roasting the meat, Jiaojiao asked Qin Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on a Stone nearby, absorbed in a book.
"Yuyu, don't you care about what's going on outside?"
"Of course, I do."
"Then why are you still reading?"
Qin Yu flipped the book, and Jiaojiao caught a glimpse of its title, "Inscriptions of the Blood Refining Archipelago".
"Hey, where'd you get this book from?"
