Chen Shi repeated the story of searching for his mother's soul, saying: "I'm planning to rescue my mother, but the guards outside Yuan Chen Palace are too many, and there's a massive creature akin to the Black Pot guarding outside."
Du Yiran said: "Quickly eat the hibiscus chicken before it gets cold."
Chen Shi gulped down the food, finishing a bowl of hibiscus chicken soup quickly. Besides chicken meat, the soup had rice soaked in it with pepper, spicy and smooth, quite tasty, warming up his stomach thoroughly.
Du Yiran pushed a bowl of clear lamb soup with tofu in front of him, signaling him to eat it. Watching Chen Shi devour the food, he seemed quite satisfied.
"Four years ago, your grandfather went to the underworld to find you, alone, without telling anyone."
Du Yiran looked at the Black Pot devouring the food and said in a low voice, "He returned with a palm-sized little black dog."
