Yun Ji lay in bed, his attention fixed on the activity outside.
She was back, and by the sounds of it, she was bustling about with great enthusiasm, humming a strange little tune.
It wasn't that Qiao Xixi was particularly happy; she was just messing around out of boredom.
She piled up some firewood, started a fire, and set the prepared fish beast on a rack over the flames.
She mixed some mud, coated the Yellow Earth Fruits she had dug up, and tossed them into the fire.
While the fish beast roasted, she took some seasonings out of her storage space. Once the meat was nearly done, she brushed them on.
Just as it was almost ready, she heard the door open behind her. Qiao Xixi turned to see Yun Ji walking out of the room.
"I was tired of lying in bed, so I came out to stretch my legs."
"Oh, have a seat. It'll be ready in a moment."
