"Whoa, would you look at that—there's a giant hole smack in the middle of this rock?" Aiden blurted out, eyes wide enough to catch flies.
"That's the entrance to the Luyu Kingdom." With that, Ivy glanced at Bai Linghe.
"Linghe, let's go. Aiden, you grab Linghe's wheelchair." Ivy hurried to support Bai Linghe so he could stand up.
"No problem!" Aiden replied cheerfully. He'd been lugging that wheelchair around for years—at this point, he could practically do it blindfolded.
And so, the trio marched right into the massive hole. The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted by an underground world lit up like a festival—seriously, it looked just like a modern tunnel! Ivy couldn't help but think, wow, the Luyu Kingdom actually built a fancy underground tunnel entrance? Someone give these people a gold star.
"Holy moly, this place is straight-up mysterious!" Aiden gawked, never having seen anything like it. His jaw practically hit the floor.
Since the place was huge and the ground was smooth as butter, Ivy immediately had Bai Linghe sit back in the wheelchair and let Aiden push him. No way was she letting her precious Linghe get tired out—protect the fragile beauty at all costs!
"Little Bird, with so many rocks around, how did you know this one was the entrance?" Aiden asked, curiosity bubbling over as they walked.
"Easy. Didn't you notice all the other rocks have a jungle of grass growing underneath, but this one—sure, it's got some, but way less. That means people move this rock around all the time. If not, it wouldn't look like this." Ivy explained, cool as a cucumber.
Aiden stared at her for the first time, genuinely impressed. Wait a sec—Little Bird's actually a genius?! Mind blown.
