At the entrance of a lingerie shop, Lin Xiyue watched Luo Xiu and Su Shenyun acting inseparable. Her eyes reddened against her will, and a pain so severe seized her that it felt like she was suffocating.
Originally, she had just wanted to have a happy stroll and buy a few things tonight, but she had never expected to encounter such a scene.
Her gaze fell on Luo Xiu's face, her expression growing steadily colder. She suddenly spun around and departed without looking back, her large belly prominent.
Zhang Cui glared fiercely at Luo Xiu, then hurriedly followed Lin Xiyue.
...
Luo Xiu walked slowly down the busy street, feeling as though the entire world had gone quiet.
Following behind him, Su Shenyun's lips were tightly pursed. She suddenly asked, "Are you really not going to explain things to her?"
Luo Xiu smiled. "What is there to explain? The situation is exactly as it appears."
t
"Besides, I have no relationship with her anymore, so anything I do would be pointless."
t
Su Shenyun sighed softly, overcome with sudden guilt. "At that moment, I could feel just how much she was hurting."
Luo Xiu was silent. He knew Lin Xiyue had been hurting, and that made him hurt too.
t
Mocking herself, Su Shenyun said, "I feel like I really have become a fox spirit."
t
Luo Xiu suddenly turned and took her hand. "Enough, let's not talk about her. Let's find a place to eat."
"By the way, when are we leaving to find the dean?"
"Tomorrow."
...
"Xi Yue, stop crying! There isn't a single good man among them!" Zhang Cui cursed loudly while comforting Lin Xiyue, who was crouching by the roadside, weeping silently.
She spewed every insult she could think of.
t
"I bet he insisted on divorcing you because he was seduced by that fox spirit from the Sun Family!"
t
"What kind of person is he? Such a scumbag! Just thinking about it makes me sick!"
t
"Mom, stop it."
t
Lin Xiyue suddenly stood up, wiped away her tears, and walked away with a blank expression.
"From now on, don't mention him in front of me. The child has nothing to do with him, either."
...
After a late-night snack, Su Shenyun went straight back to the Sun Family's estate instead of spending the night with Luo Xiu. She needed to pack for their departure tomorrow and also had many things to arrange.
In his hotel room, Luo Xiu sat alone on the bed, cross-legged in meditation.
t
He held his breath, his right eye shut tight and his left eye wide open. Its blue iris was shot through with crimson veins, looking especially ferocious.
At last, a strange rune flew out of his left eye.
t
He quickly grabbed a prepared piece of wood and caught the rune.
t
The rune swiftly merged with the wood, emitting a faint light that instantly transformed the unremarkable piece into something mysterious and marvelous.
t
This rune was the Summoning Talisman!
t
Luo Xiu panted, sweating profusely as though he had just struggled with constipation. "This 'Infinite Summoning' is a real bitch to master!" he said.
t
Lin Tong chuckled. "To successfully conjure the Summoning Talisman on your first try at 'Infinite Summoning' is quite astonishing. It took me a whole two years to master it."
Luo Xiu looked at the wooden talisman in his hand, lost in thought. But who should I give this to...
「The next morning.」
Luo Xiu arrived at the Sun Family's grand estate. He was there to pick up Su Shenyun for the airport and also intended to give the wooden talisman to Sun Li.
t
"Xiu, is this the gift you brought back for me from Africa?"
t
Luo Xiu didn't joke with her. He said earnestly, "With this wooden talisman, you can summon me from anywhere, at any time. But it can only be used once."
"Wow, is it such a divine miracle?"
t
Luo Xiu said, "However, your current level is too low. You wouldn't be able to use this wooden talisman, and even if you did summon me, the time I could stay would be very short."
t
"Later... give it to Xi Yue for me."
t
When he had encountered Lin Xiyue the previous night, Luo Xiu realized she had reached the Gathering Spirit Realm. That Holy Origin Golden Pill was terrifyingly effective, having pushed Lin Xiyue all the way to the Gathering Spirit Realm.
Therefore, Lin Xiyue should be able to use the wooden talisman without any issue.
t
"Then why don't you give it to her yourself?"
t
"I... Just do as I say and give it to her later. Remind her not to use it rashly, since this Summoning Talisman can only be used once."
"Alright then. How long will you be gone?"
t
"I don't know. That's why I'm leaving this wooden talisman behind."
t
"Be careful then, and look after my aunt for me. I'll wait for you both to come back."
"..."
After leaving the Sun Family, Luo Xiu disguised himself as "Chen Shuisheng" and took Su Shenyun, Chi Sha, and Dou Dou to Sea City Airport.
Upon arrival, they immediately encountered Mu Xueyan, who was already waiting for them.
Passersby looked on with envy, jealousy, and resentment at Luo Xiu, accompanied by three exceptionally beautiful women and an adorable little girl. Why is there such a huge gap between people?
Mu Xueyan asked, "Where are we going next?"
Luo Xiu replied, "Sakura Country."
Back in Africa, Luo Xiu had already discussed the route in detail with Tuof.
According to Tuof, they first needed to head to Sakura Country and set sail from there to find Kun's Tomb. Then, they had to enter another Secret Realm through Kun's Tomb. After traversing that Secret Realm, they could reach the Tomb of Civilization at the bottom of the deep sea.
The Tomb of Civilization at the bottom of the deep sea was Luo Xiu's ultimate destination.
Luo Xiu had analyzed the information carefully. He guessed that the "Kun's Tomb" mentioned by Tuof was likely the small Secret Realm that he, Su Shenyun, and Su Hongli had unexpectedly fallen into before.
t
After all, Ai Hongye had also mentioned that the island in that Secret Realm was formed from the carcass of a Giant Kun, so he was almost certain this was the place.
...
「Sakura Country. International Airport.」
After getting off the plane, Luo Xiu found a deserted spot and used his left eye to open a portal to the Land of Lawlessness. He had Su Shenyun and the others wait there for the time being, as traveling alone was far more convenient than moving in a group.
Luo Xiu had considered contacting the Audit Bureau to help find a ship, but going through them would certainly alert his Empress senior sister, so he decided to set out to sea alone.
t
He went to the seaside and found a deserted spot, preparing to use the "Summoning Evil Spirits" ability of his Eye of the Reaper to call forth a flying Evil Spirit to take him out to sea.
t
"Lin Tong, which Evil Spirit can fly?"
t
Lin Tong pondered. "I remember that among the lowest-level Level 1 Evil Spirits, there is a giant flying bird called the Iron Feather Black Hawk."
Luo Xiu then closed his eyes, his Divine Sense following the strange aura of the Eye of the Reaper into a mysterious space.
t
This space had mountains and rivers under a boundless vista, with breathtaking scenery, like an undiscovered miniature world.
t
Luo Xiu could see the vague yet very real shadows of many Exotic Beasts fluttering before him.
"What you can see now are the Evil Spirits I collected back in the day," Lin Tong's voice echoed in Luo Xiu's mind.
A moment later, Luo Xiu chose the Iron Feather Black Hawk that Lin Tong had mentioned and summoned it.
t
Luckily, the beach was empty. Otherwise, the sudden appearance of a terrifying, ten-meter-tall giant hawk would have undoubtedly made the headlines the next day.
t
Luo Xiu looked up at the seemingly proud, sharp-eyed hawk and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
t
"Lin Tong, it seems this 'Summoning Evil Spirits' ability is really worth exploring further," he remarked.
t
Lin Tong said, "That space is probably a closed world unknown to us, and it can only be accessed through the Eye of the Reaper."
t
"It was by inadvertently letting my Divine Sense enter that space that I created the 'Summoning Evil Spirits' ability."
t
"When you have time, you can try entering it more often. As long as you can establish a connection with the Evil Spirits there with your Divine Sense and gain their approval, you can summon them."
Luo Xiu kicked off the ground and jumped onto the hawk's back, asking curiously, "How many Evil Spirits did you gain the approval of back in the day?"
t
"Just over a dozen or so. Most of them were Level 1 Evil Spirits; there was only one Level 2 Evil Spirit," Lin Tong replied.
t
"Even so, the Level 1 Evil Spirits are very strong in combat."
t
Luo Xiu asked, "These Evil Spirits have ranks?"
t
"Yes, they range from Level 1 to Level 10. The higher the level, the more powerful they are."
t
"Speaking of which, I was once fortunate enough to encounter a Level 10 Evil Spirit. It was... terrifying to the point of despair, with strength that could at least match a Great Emperor!"
Luo Xiu couldn't help but sigh. "This Eye of the Reaper keeps surprising me. No wonder that Pink Emperor destroyed your Spirit Realm back then."
Lin Tong smiled bitterly. "Perhaps it really is an eyeball left behind by a god after death. I never should have brought it out."
...
The Iron Feather Black Hawk was fast.
「One day later.」
Following Tuof's guidance, Luo Xiu found the small Secret Realm that he, Su Shenyun, and Su Hongli had visited before.
Tuof even knew the precise location of a seam in the barrier that allowed for direct entry.
On the golden sandy beach, Luo Xiu stared at the Iron Feather Black Hawk. A glimmer of light flashed in his left eye, and the hawk instantly merged into the Void, disappearing back to its own world.
t
Revisiting this place filled Luo Xiu with emotion.
t
He remembered being harshly scolded by Ai Hongye on this very beach.
t
Second Sister, hang in there... I'm coming for you soon. Tuof, are you sure this is the Kun's Tomb you mentioned?
"Yes, the Kun Tribe is a very powerful race from this world's prehistoric era. Strictly speaking, they are part of the Demon Race," Tuof confirmed.
Luo Xiu was about to reply but suddenly frowned, having noticed a grounded yacht on a nearby beach.
It was a very new yacht!
Lin Tong also grew vigilant. "Be careful. It looks like the people from the Holy Boi Religion have already arrived, guided by the Sea Oracle Map."
Sudden whooshing sounds filled the air.
t
Several figures flickered into existence, swiftly surrounding Luo Xiu.
t
He realized they must have detected him the moment he landed on the island.
t
A familiar voice came from behind him. "Chen Shuisheng, I didn't expect you to find this place. It seems you were holding back when you obtained the Sea Oracle Map."
t
"But this works out perfectly. It saves me the trouble of hunting you down after I'm done here."
t
Luo Xiu slowly turned to face the graceful figure and said with a faint smile, "Miss Chu, long time no see."
