On the Mystic Island, a flash of light appeared as Lin Bai and Hu Xiner materialized on the island.

After Hu Xiner stepped out of the Teleportation Array, Lin Bai could clearly sense the wave of emotions from her—a burst of ecstasy so intense that she was trembling with joy.

"Is this... Dongzhou?"

Hu Xiner uttered in a daze.

She stepped out of the Teleportation Array and the Mystic Island, standing upon the vast sea.

Lin Bai silently followed behind her, stepping onto the sea, standing ten steps away behind her.

Lin Bai gazed at Hu Xiner's back as she slowly removed the Bamboo Hat from her head, lifting her face—an astonishingly beautiful visage—towards the sky, unabashedly letting the sunlight spill over her.

In this moment, tears fell from her eyes!

She was free.

She had escaped from the cage that was the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!

It was her first time feeling the scorching sun so radiantly...

Even though her eyes were pained by the sunlight, she couldn't bear to blink!

Lin Bai silently stood behind her, not disturbing her!

Lin Bai understood that feeling of being bound, and now she had broken free, gaining her freedom!

"Lin Bai, thank you..."

After a long while, Hu Xiner genuinely said, her voice soft like a gentle breeze, tender and charming.

Lin Bai coughed lightly and said, "Although you have left the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, your Blood Soul is still in my possession."

"I cannot return your Blood Soul to you just yet!"

"Because I fear that if I return it now, you might immediately strike me down!"

"As per our previous agreement, after one year, I will return your Blood Soul to you, and then you will truly be free!"

Lin Bai replied indifferently.

Hu Xiner suddenly turned around and flashed a radiant smile.

At this moment, Lin Bai was taken aback; he saw the smile on Hu Xiner's Face, his heart raced wildly, like a startled deer...

Hu Xiner bit her lip and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that after a year, when you return my Blood Soul, I might still kill you?"

Yet seeing that smile from Hu Xiner, Lin Bai felt no warmth, only a chill down his spine.

Lin Bai laughed, "You don't have to worry about that. In a year, I will naturally grow to a level where you can't kill me!"

Hu Xiner laughed, "Is that so? Then let's wait and see."

Lin Bai gave a cold smile, stepped forward, and said, "Then it's settled, Fox Monster King, you are free to go anywhere now, and after a year, come to the Dragon Raising Island to retrieve your Blood Soul."

"I bid you farewell now."

Lin Bai clasped his hands in salute and flew away.

Hu Xiner watched Lin Bai's retreating figure, donned her Bamboo Hat, and swiftly caught up with Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was perplexed and asked, "Why are you still following me?"

Hu Xiner said, "I grew up in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm. I'm not familiar with Dongzhou at all. Now that you've brought me out, you plan to leave me alone? It's not that easy!"

Lin Bai replied coldly, "Our agreement was simply for me to bring you out of the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, nothing more. What else do you expect?"

Hu Xiner smiled warmly, "Well, I don't care. Until I figure out a suitable place to go, I'll stick with you. After all, you can't defeat me now. If you dare to act against me, I'll say it was you who brought me out..."

"When the South Campus investigates, none of your friends will be able to escape!"

Hu Xiner said with a smiling threat.

Upon hearing this, a trace of murderous intent appeared on Lin Bai's face as he coldly warned, "Fox Monster King, I warn you, do not provoke me!"

"You should understand that I do not kill you not because I can't, but because I feel a little guilt towards you, that is all!"

"But if you insist on seeking death, I won't mind sending you off, after all, killing one more Demon Clan member among many won't make a difference!"

Lin Bai's face turned cold as he looked at Hu Xiner, speaking with chilling menace.

Hu Xiner laughed, "Of course I know that if you wanted to kill me, you certainly could. So isn't it better if I stay with you now?"

"Are you not afraid that once I leave you, I might spread the word around?"

"You must know, for beauties like me, wherever I go, I become the center of attention, attracting many people's interests..."

"If I were caught by the strong ones in the Southern Yard...then to save myself, I might just have to expose you, wouldn't I?"

Hu Xiner said with a sly grin.

"You! Despicable and shameless!" Lin Bai gritted his teeth.

"You! Shameless and vile!" Hu Xiner laughed lightly.

Lin Bai sighed and grimaced, taking a deep breath and said, "Alright, until you have decided where you wish to go, I can let you stay temporarily on Dragon Raising Island!"

"However, if you wish to stay on Dragon Raising Island, you'll have to follow my arrangements, no reckless actions!"

Lin Bai said sternly.

"Fine." Hu Xiner appeared victorious, laughing with satisfaction.

Afterward, Lin Bai could only lead Hu Xiner back to Dragon Raising Island unwillingly!

Dragon Raising Island was the same as when Lin Bai left half a month ago, unchanged, Lin Bai opened the Magic Circle, and escorted Hu Xiner inside.

"This is my island, known as Dragon Raising Island!"

"On Dragon Raising Island, you can be assured; no strong one from the South Campus will find this place. It is safe here!"

"There are plenty of vacant spots on the island; you can build a place to rest, or choose a palace to stay temporarily!"

After arriving on Dragon Raising Island, Lin Bai said to Hu Xiner.

Hu Xiner now removed her black robe and Bamboo Hat, revealing that breathtaking beauty, smiling gently, "This island is quite tranquil!"

Lin Bai's face turned Iron Green as he tossed several Jade Slips from his Storage Bag, saying, "These Jade Slips introduce the Barbaric Ancient Continent, Dongzhou, and Dongzhou Academy. Take a good look."

"After you've reviewed them, decide where you want to go, then you can leave Dragon Raising Island!"

Lin Bai deeply inhaled, speaking impatiently.

Hu Xiner holding the Jade Slips, frowned and said, "Are you that eager to push me away? A beauty like me, in the South Campus of the Dongzhou Academy, countless men dream of living with me."

"Now you get this for free, and you still seem impatient!"

Hu Xiner pouted as she spoke.

Lin Bai's face turned Iron Green, "Don't bother me, I'm going to cultivate."

After saying this, Lin Bai flew away directly, entering a palace.

Hu Xiner watched Lin Bai leave, holding the Jade Slips, her smile slowly stiffening, revealing a hint of melancholy on her Face, her eyes deep as she said, "Are you still in the South Campus?"
