The crackling sound of the fire echoed from a cell farther down the prison corridor. The bright, warm light illuminated the prison.
The guards sighed in despair.
"Just how many days is she going to continue torturing us… this is too much!" One of the guards hugged his spear, crying invisible tears.
The other guard standing beside him awkwardly tapped him on the shoulder to console him. His brown eyes stared at the cell in particular. "This is the third day she has been cooking. It'll make it the fifth time she's cooked today, plus the five times she cooked yesterday, and two times day before yesterday. Altogether, that's 12 times." He sniffled.
They paused for a second the moment they heard someone sniffling behind them. They turned around slightly only to find dozens of guards standing behind them, their noses inhaling the heavenly aroma.
"I can't take this anymore!" Yun Kai shouted from behind the crowd, pushing his way through the guards.
