The sofa is soft and comfortable, yet not overly saggy. The grayish-brown surface might be made from a kind of sea beast skin he was unfamiliar with, and it felt remarkably textured to the touch.
On the table in front of him were several plates of snacks for hospitality and a glass of lemon water with floating ice cubes.
Possibly due to the local environment, the chilled lemon water was sweeter than Xia Nan had imagined, but it was quite refreshing to drink;
The snacks were more exquisite. Sea salt caramel crispies, smoked silverfish tartlets, and a small bowl of cool, bouncy, sweet jelly almost instantly whet Xia Nan's appetite.
His mind involuntarily recalled the enticing aroma of food he had smelled earlier when passing by the "Three-legged Sea Dog" tavern, thinking that when he went there later to gather information, he must have a good meal there as a reward for the nearly fifty-day journey from River Valley Town to Suo Yu Bay.
