After learning that the Great Wasteland was a sealed prison with scarce spiritual energy, Xiaoyao decided to take Nannan to a human settlement. He carried her as she fell asleep, while the waiter celebrated the three Top-Tier Spirit Stones Xiaoyao had given him.

• The waiter explained that the Four Lands had sealed the Great Wasteland and exiled criminals there, and that humans were scarce in its city.

• The waiter answered “Xuan,” and Xiaoyao gave him three Top-Tier Spirit Stones before leaving with Nannan, who had eaten three pastries.
• The waiter reflected that the Great Wasteland relied on supplies brought every hundred years by the forces behind well-connected exiles, making spirit stones exceptionally rare.
• Nannan asked where they were going, and Xiaoyao said he would take her somewhere lively that belonged to humans; she fell asleep on his back as he walked.
