Above the waters near the merman territory was an inconspicuous island.
When Xijing and his people went to settle the score with the Shark Beast Clan, he had the Sea Turtle Beast take Qiao Xixi and the others to this island.
The island wasn't large. A small, gently rising hill stood in its center, covered in lush vegetation.
"Mother, when I was little, Father used to bring me here to play. There's a stone house up ahead. I'll take you there."
Xiya took Qiao Xixi's hand and eagerly led her forward.
Qiao Xixi followed Xiya to a stone house.
Perhaps because no one had visited for a long time, the entrance to the stone house was covered in cobwebs.
Xiya broke off a branch and swept the cobwebs away before pushing open the stone door and looking at Qiao Xixi.
"Mother, let's go inside and rest."
Qiao Xixi walked into the stone house and froze on the spot, staring at the furnishings inside.
