In the evening, Lake of Confusion was eerily quiet. Unknown birds were frightened into flight and made noises.
Blake, Lilly, and Lisa looked at each other.
Blake was calm. He looked at the big hole, the round-bottomed iron pot that flew aside, and asked, "Have you two eaten?"
Lisa and Lilly shook their heads honestly. Lilly's stomach even rumbled.
Blake saw Lisa had bruises, and Lilly also got injured on her face and arms, but overall there was nothing serious.
They met danger.
Blake suppressed his pain and worries, silently picked up the iron pot on the ground, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. The stewed pheasant will be ready soon."
Next to the bonfire was a deck chair, fully unfolded at the moment, where Blake should rest at night.
Lisa threw herself on the deck chair as if out of consciousness and hugged Lilly.
Lilly lay softly in Lisa's arms with her limbs stretched out.
"I'm so hungry." After escaping from danger, Lilly realized she had exhausted all her strength. She felt so hungry that she wanted to cry. She did not want to move and could only lie down.
Blake scooped up the pheasant. He had not completed stewing it, but its flesh on the outside was the most tender. He tore off the outer layer from the pheasant and filled two bowls of soup.
Lisa watched Lilly gobble up the pheasant soup while blowing. She immediately passed her bowl over.
"I'm not hungry!" Lisa said, "You eat it!"
Lilly shook her head. "No, you eat it!"
Lisa insisted on giving her soup, so Lilly ate it.
Lilly, who drank two bowls of pheasant soup, was still hungry. She stared at the pot of pheasant.
Blake suddenly understood why Bettany had to come to Malie City.
"Lilly, we'll go home after we eat the pheasant." Blake felt his heartache. He could not help but hug Lilly tightly in his arms.
Once Lilly consumed too much energy, she would be hungry.
Lilly was so hungry that Blake dared not to ask her what had happened in the underworld.
He was afraid that he would not let her go down again.
After stewing the pheasant, Lilly ate all of it. Blake and Lisa were reluctant to eat any. Lilly was too hungry.
After Blake put out the bonfire, he quickly threw the pots and pans into the trunk and immediately drove to the house.
