The disappearance of Kairuot and Belden has caused a huge uproar around Dragonfall Lodge. The entire lodge and the surrounding town have mobilized to search for the two, including Li Girl. For her, finding Kairuot is naturally the top priority.
After searching everywhere, Li Girl has arrived at Qilong Pool, which has become her last hope. She is willing to take the risk to explore it.
However, as soon as Li Girl reaches the edge of Qilong Pool, she hears the sound of someone striking the cave walls. This strengthens her resolve even more; she dives into the water. As soon as she surfaces, she sees Kairuot and Belden playfully fighting in the Cave…
This ignites a fire of anger within Li Girl, who thinks: "The whole town is looking for you two, causing everyone to worry for so long, and here you are, flirting and having fun. It's infuriating!"
Soon, both Kairuot and Belden notice Li Girl's presence. Belden immediately greets her with a smile, while Kairuot walks over in surprise.
Li Girl climbs onto the shore and says, "Do you know? Everyone in the lodge has searched almost every corner looking for you."
"I'm really sorry," Kairuot replies sincerely. "I didn't mean to worry everyone."
"Is a simple apology enough?" Li Girl insists.
"What do you want us to do?" Belden responds. "We barely made it back alive; it's a miracle you didn't find our bones."
"What exactly happened?" Li Girl asks.
"It's all Kiwi's fault," Belden answers, pointing at the golden-yellow Kiwi surrounding them. "They're everywhere."
“Kiwi!” Li Girl discovered the fruit she had always dreamed of. She immediately flew forward to pick it, but was stopped in time by Kairuot.
Kairuot said to her, “You can’t eat that!”
“Hahaha,” Li Girl laughed, “I’ve eaten plenty of this since I was a child. If I can’t eat it, who else can?”
“You’ve eaten it before?” Beldan asked in surprise.
“Of course,” Li Girl replied proudly. “My father made me eat this to increase my power since I was little. It’s just processed dried fruit; I’ve never had fresh Kiwi before.”
“Your father is willing to let you practice?” Beldan asked again.
“Of course,” Lily said with pride. “My father is the grandson of General Bill Di from the Bill Family. Our family’s martial arts have been passed down through generations, and he has taught me all his skills.”
“No wonder your martial arts are so impressive,” Beldan murmured.
“Now I can eat it, right?” Li Girl said as she had already picked a Kiwi. Before they could nod, she stuffed the Kiwi into her mouth and exclaimed after tasting it, “Not bad, really delicious!”
She quickly finished the Kiwi in her hand. Then she went to pick another one, saying angrily while eating, “Hmph, there are peels and seeds all over the ground; you must have eaten quite a bit.”
Kairuot and Beldan exchanged glances and nodded lightly.
“It’s no wonder; such a delicious fruit, I could eat it every day.” After saying that, she went to pick another Kiwi. The two stood by helplessly, unable to stop her, and could only let her eat as she pleased.
Li Girl ate seven or eight Kiwis in one go, feeling as if her stomach could not hold any more before she stopped picking Kiwis and ceased eating. After eating the Kiwis, Li Girl began to feel unusually excited, continuously trying to talk to them. Gradually, her speech became a bit incoherent: “You, you all, don’t, don’t be afraid… I ate, ate your Kiwis, … I, I have food.” After saying this, she collapsed onto the haystack.
Kairuot thought she was poisoned and quickly held her, saying, “Li Girl! Wake up, wake up!!”
He touched her forehead and found it strange that there were no signs of fever at all.
Unexpectedly, when Li Girl saw Kairuot holding her, she wrapped her arms around him and mumbled, “I know you like me.” She pointed at Beldan, “She took you away from me… Boo hoo… I’m going to take you back today… take you back…”
Kairuot finally managed to pry Li Girl's arms apart. She looked as if she were drunk, her face flushed red as she lay on the hay and fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Girl woke up, it was already the next day. She saw Beldan sitting beside her and immediately blushed, saying, “I’m sorry for embarrassing myself yesterday. Where is Kairuot?” She noticed that Kairuot was not around.
“He went out to find food for you. You should rest a bit more,” Beldan said, putting aside her usual haughty demeanor and showing a rare gentleness.
Soon, Kairuot returned with many wild fruits. Watching the two girls eat their meal, he said, “After we finish these wild fruits, we’ll head back to the lodge immediately. We can’t let the people at the lodge worry about us any longer.”
The two girls nodded in agreement.
