In the Dragon Palace, after recovering, Nezha took Fu Xi back to the construction site. It's actually nice to have someone to chat with in the pitch-dark Returning Ruins.
Initially, Fu Xi didn't want to go after the first trip with Nezha because it was too exhausting and tiring.
But since he had a task at hand, and Nezha often recited good poems to entice him, he gritted his teeth and decided to follow along.
This time, Nezha started construction about a thousand zhang from the Returning Ruins and stopped after just building the first circle.
Curious, Fu Xi asked, "Why aren't you building anymore?"
Nezha rolled his eyes, realizing his thought process was flawed. Without solving the problem of seawater flooding, building up or down makes no difference — one gets immediately washed away, and the other suffers once the seawater gains strength.
"I'm hungry, let's go back and eat!"
Fu Xi: ???
"Didn't you just eat? How are you hungry again?"
