"This island has people on it?"
A cool sea breeze blew, causing Qin Yu's heart to clench.
He looked towards the center of the island.
There, the cliffs were precipitous, soaring straight into the clouds.
"Someone would come here?"
After unconsciously murmuring, Qin Yu shook his head.
If there was no one, he wouldn't be here right now.
He stared at the doll in his hand, lost in thought.
He recalled Sandrone's attitude before they landed on the island.
Interesting things...
What had she discovered?
"My partner, aren't you curious about the truth?"
A light, ethereal voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
At the same time, the doll girl on his shoulder moved.
The sea breeze blew, causing her to sway precariously.
"My partner, catch me quickly."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu gently extended a finger.
"Whoosh... Whew."
Sandrone hugged his finger, finally stabilizing herself.
In their every action, a tacit understanding had long been forged between them.
"Good evening."
She stretched languidly and waved with a smile.
It was evident that the doll girl was in a good mood now.
"Weren't you going to sleep just now?"
Qin Yu glanced at the General doll, puzzled.
"Of course, I lied to them."
Sandrone huffed lightly and extended her small hand.
"After all, I need to create private time for my partner and me."
Now was her own time for a secret indulgence.
All tactics, in the end, were not as effective as a surprise raid on the enemy's home.
This was a principle she had concluded.
"So, this island..."
"Mmm-hmm, before that, would you like to hear my story?"
Qin Yu looked at the doll girl on his shoulder.
Sandrone's large, sapphire-blue eyes blinked, her gaze clear and limpid.
Within them, there was an unfathomable mystery.
She was also looking at Qin Yu intently.
"...A story?"
Qin Yu took a deep breath.
Could he truly choose to trust Sandrone?
"If you don't want to hear it, then forget it."
Sandrone swung her fair legs back and forth, speaking softly.
"Tell me."
"...Huh? Aren't you afraid I, an Executor, will lie to you?"
A smile twitched at the corner of Sandrone's lips as she poked Qin Yu.

"When have you ever been able to lie to me?"
Qin Yu was silent for a moment, then said softly.
"What are you saying, my partner."
Sandrone tutted, a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.
Such an unromantic man.
Couldn't he just be willingly deceived by her once?
"Just give me one chance, if you like me, just say it."
"Are you going to tell that story or not?"
"Is the story more important, or am I?"
Qin Yu tutted, unwilling to answer this question.
After a round of bickering.
"My partner, who is more important?"
"You are."
Sandrone, using her universal rationality, argued that she was indeed more important.
Qin Yu admitted that he couldn't win an argument against someone who conducted research.
"That's more like it."
The girl, having won the debate against Qin Yu, held her little head high, her face full of triumph.
She stood up gently, wrapping her arms around Qin Yu's neck.
Leaning close to his ear, she whispered:
"My story is very simple."
"It starts from when I was being chased."
Qin Yu held his breath, listening intently.
"Guess why I was being chased?"
Sandrone suddenly asked.
Qin Yu shook his head silently, how could he possibly know.
"Then you must listen carefully."
A hint of mischief flashed in Sandrone's eyes.
"I found a way to create something."
Qin Yu instinctively pressed, "What?"
"...A god."
?!
Qin Yu looked at the doll girl with a hint of surprise.
Was it the god he understood?
Before he could ask further.
"Shh, the suspense will be revealed later."
Sandrone raised a finger and blinked.
After all, you have new troubles to deal with.
?
Qin Yu sensed something and was about to turn around.
"What are you two doing!"
Keqing, passing by, stood behind Qin Yu and said coldly.
From her perspective.
The two were almost kissing!
And from the moment she arrived, he had been talking to someone behind her back...
She had arrived first!
"Doing? Isn't it obvious?"
Sandrone leaned on Qin Yu's shoulder, a provocative smile on her face.
"You!"
Keqing-cat, slightly bristling.
"Keqing, are you ready?"
Qin Yu walked up to Keqing.
Keqing-cat turned her face away and huffed.
"Of course, I'm fine on my own."
The girl deliberately emphasized the word "on my own."
As she spoke, she tossed a map into Qin Yu's hand.
Under the moonlight, Qin Yu saw it.
A mark had been drawn on the mountain peak in the center of the island.
Coincidentally, Sandrone had also hinted that something was there.
"Shall we go explore there together?"
"Just like we promised in the letter."
Qin Yu extended his hand and gently invited.
"If you insist..."
Keqing discreetly glanced at Qin Yu.
Under the moonlight, the young man's expression was serious.
He waited quietly, his gaze expectant.
"Alright then, let's go take a look."
"Keqing is so kind."
"Wh-what are you talking about!"
