After finishing all these tasks, Si Jiuyue felt rather exhausted. She gathered her horse and retreated into the Dimension, craving a good rest. Inside the Snow Bracelet, she changed into fresh clothes, collapsed onto her bed, and fell fast asleep.
She didn't wake up for a full ten hours. Once up, she freshened up and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. She boiled a bowl of seafood noodles, which was practically a bowl of seafood with a few strands of noodles added for good measure. After finishing it, she polished off two chicken drumsticks to help with digestion. Feeling fully recharged, she grabbed a bundle from the Dimension packed with beef jerky and lemonade before heading back out.
However, the moment she stepped out of the Dimension, she was struck with terror. The crops lining the road were covered in dense, swarming locusts. It was no exaggeration to say that there were at least thirty locusts crawling over a single rice plant. The air was filled with the rustling sound of them devouring leaves. In many places, the sky had grown dark with the sheer volume of the swarm. Trees and grass alike were completely blanketed by the insects.
