Su Qinglan felt like a kid in a candy store.
As Han Jue carried her deeper into the island, she discovered that this place was a hidden treasure chest of food.
The mermen who lived on the coast barely ever ventured this far into the woods; they preferred the salt and marine life of the sea, so the interior of the island was overflowing with untouched plants.
"Look at all of this!" she chirped, pointing at patches of wild garlic and bright red tomatoes.
Then, her eyes widened as she spotted a towering tree with heavy clusters of yellow fruit. "A banana tree!"
Han Jue immediately reached up and plucked a bunch for her. Su Qinglan peeled one and took a big bite. Her eyes lit up instantly. It was sweet, creamy, and perfectly ripe. "Oh my god, this is so tasty! Han Jue, try some!"
She felt like she had finally found paradise.
