Ch. 21Liu Erlong's Rose-Tinted View of Gangzi Begins to Crack, Skinny Monkey: Hurry Back to the Village and Get Brother Shi Yan!
Yu Xiaogang refused to share Stone Village’s body-tempering techniques, causing Liu Erlong to doubt the idealized image she had of him. In the sky-screen world, Shi Hao and the other children stole three Green-Scaled Eagle eggs, but the enraged bird caught up with them, and the children sent Shi Hao to fetch Shi Yan.
- Yu Xiaogang said he had recorded Stone Village’s body-tempering techniques but would not distribute them, arguing that clans should prioritize their own interests.
- Liu Erlong was shocked by Yu Xiaogang’s stance, and her admiration for him began to falter.
- Skinny Monkey, Shi Dazhuang, Shi Hao, and the other children found the Green-Scaled Eagle’s nest and took its three eggs.
- The Green-Scaled Eagle returned, discovered the eggs were missing, and pursued the children through the forest, smashing trees in its fury.
- Shi Dazhuang and Skinny Monkey urged Shi Hao to run back to Stone Village and get Shi Yan while they tried to draw the Green-Scaled Eagle away.
