“This is the Land of Great Joy; after walking a bit further, we’ll reach the territory of the Three Body Kingdom.”
Chong San led them for some time, and the sky gradually darkened. In the distance, there seemed to be firelight. Here, they had no concept of time, only distinguishing between day and night.
“Is there fire?” Xi Xuen furrowed her brows.
“Yes, how can we light up and cook without fire?” Chong San looked at her with confusion.
She knew only that the humans of the Yi tribe drilled wood to make fire, unaware that there was also fire in the divine realm.
“Chong San, will our arrival here add to your troubles?” Xi Xuen quickly changed the topic.
“Not at all, on the contrary, your arrival makes me happy.” Chong San smiled, scratching his head.
Seeing his expression, Xi Xuen relaxed and smiled too. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it; I’ll feel embarrassed,” Chong San scratched his head again, looking at her with a bit of shyness.
Chong San brought them into the Three Body Kingdom, causing quite a stir. They hurriedly passed through the streets and arrived at Chong San’s home.
It was less a home and more like a cave, with a piece of wood barely covering the entrance.
“You live here?” Xi Xuen, who had never seen a divine realm residence, was very curious.
“Yes, isn’t your house like this?” Chong San looked at them, puzzled.
“Bah, our houses are made of solid steel and concrete, not like yours,” Shun interrupted.
“My house isn’t made of steel and concrete!” She just liked to tease him.
“Exactly, your house is made of flimsy clay tiles, no wonder it collapsed with just a small earthquake,” he couldn’t help but shrug.
“Wasn’t that a major earthquake?” She retorted with logic. “Alright, alright, next time make sure you cover up better, so you don’t end up falling over again,” he said with a twitch of his cheek, recalling the disastrous day when they had a door but couldn’t get out, which drove him mad with cold sweat.
“Hmph!” She turned her head away.
“Um… don’t you guys want to eat first?” Chong San interjected hesitantly.
“Sure,” they answered in unison, without any hesitation or formality, completely at ease as if they were at home.
