After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

This was the effect of the God-Slaying Sword fragment inside the dagger; Dao didn't take it seriously and wasn't surprised.

However, what she didn't notice was that a faint glimmer of light quietly left Xiao Yu's corpse.

Chapter Two: Your House Seems to Be on Fire

Unauthorized prohibited sea areas.

The area is turbulent with numerous whirlpools, making it difficult even for birds to fly overhead.

This is a restricted area, and merchant ships generally do not choose to sail here.

Legend has it that no one who sails into the forbidden sea has ever come out alive. If they are lucky, they will only emerge as an empty ship, as if the people inside have vanished into thin air without a trace. This is chilling and it is listed as one of the ten most dangerous places.

Meanwhile, on the turbulent sea, a lone figure floated on the surface of the water in a small boat. He was a man in white, his clothes fluttering gracefully, exuding elegance.

If anyone saw this scene, they would think he was courting death. The water in the Chaotic Forbidden Sea is stagnant, and a single drop weighs as much as ten thousand pounds. Ordinary cultivators who fall into the sea usually have no chance of survival. Even powerful immortals would assess their own strength and enter merchant ships to avoid the danger, rather than personally taking risks.

Unlike the man in white, who was only on a small, rickety boat, drifting on the sea, with the possibility of the boat crashing and everyone dying at any moment, he was simply playing with his life.

A massive black wave crashed down, viciously striking the man in white. Under the towering waves, the dilapidated little boat looked incredibly small. Yet, faced with such danger, the man in white simply glanced at it calmly and even took a sip of tea.

Boom!

The giant wave crashed down, but the sea quickly returned to calm.

puff!

so bitter.

As soon as he was swept ashore on the island by the giant waves, Xiao Yu couldn't help but vomit up all the tea he had just drunk.

What kind of tea is this? It tastes awful! I thought it was something special because it was so well-known in the Daoist temple. I even risked being caught to smuggle a packet, but now that I've tasted it, it's just so-so.

This person was none other than Xiao Yu. The Xiao Yu who previously appeared in the Heavenly Realm was merely his clone.

The birds are hidden in their bows, and the rabbits are cooked to death.

Xiao Yu had anticipated this, and since he was also exhausted, he used this opportunity to fake his death, escape, and gain his freedom, all without anyone noticing.

Hahaha!

Although it seems like he won, Xiao Yu was actually the biggest winner.

Now he can finally retire and enjoy a leisurely life.

God knows how much suffering he endured while taking the place of the main character, mainly because of those female leads, each and every one of them was an event attractor, causing him endless trouble.

But it should be fine now.

There's no annoying female lead to bother him on Demon Gathering Island, and Dao is unlikely to discover him either.

What kind of place is the Demon Island?

It is located deep in the Unrestricted Sea, where the secrets of heaven are chaotic and the traces of the Dao are mixed. It is a no-man's-land. Even the Heaven, the agent of the Heavenly Dao, did not easily conquer it. Let alone the Dao, which was forced into the position at the last minute and knew nothing!

Therefore, if the female lead could find him, Xiao Yu would jump off the cliff on the spot.

At the entrance to Demon Gathering Island, looking at his hometown after many years, Xiao Yu was overwhelmed with emotion and finally couldn't help but shout out:

"Wuhu, folks, your king is back! I'm free!"

Faced with Xiao Yu's excitement, Jumo Island responded as follows:

"What's all the noise about? Did your ancestors' graves emit auspicious smoke? Can't a person get any sleep this early in the morning?!"

puff!

The tightly closed window upstairs was opened, and a bucket of water was poured down, soaking Xiao Yu to the bone and extinguishing the passion in his heart.

"Cough cough cough..."

Brushing his wet bangs to one side, Xiao Yu wiped the water from his face, coughed awkwardly a few times, and said, "Um... local customs, local customs."

When he first came into this world, he was also greeted with a bucket of water.

Just as Xiao Yu was reminiscing about the past, a surprised voice rang out behind him: "Hey! Isn't this Xiao Yu? Long time no see, you actually decided to come back?"

Turning his head, he saw a man of similar age. The man was dressed in a pink and white robe, and was holding a white paper fan with the four large black characters "风流人间" (meaning "elegant and refined") written on it. He walked slowly over, looking like a graceful young gentleman.

However, after only a few minutes of being serious, just as he approached, this seemingly upright gentleman grinned mischievously, nudged Xiao Yu's shoulder with his elbow, and said mysteriously:

"Tell me honestly, are there fairies everywhere outside, and beauties vying for attention, that's why you've left Bai Yan all these years and don't want to come home!"

"Go away, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't tarnish my reputation. I'm a gentleman, okay? There aren't many fairies outside, but there are quite a few beauties. By the way, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yu irritably pushed away the pink-robed man's outstretched paw. This man's surname was Liu, given name Shicheng, a young talent from Jumo Island, and a fellow traveler of Xiao Yu.

However, speaking of Bai Yan...

A hint of tenderness flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. She was Xiao Yu's apprentice, one of the few weaknesses he had in this world.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Liu Shicheng pretended to be serious and shook his fan:

"Ahem... I'm just waiting here to see if any fairy has accidentally fallen into this forbidden sea and been swept onto this island."

"Then, I'll have the advantage of being close to her! Just imagine, after all that fear and near-death experience, having a handsome guy like me appear before her, gently comforting her—she'll definitely fall for me. Then… hehe."

Liu Shicheng gave a comical look; it was obvious he was daydreaming again.

Xiao Yu: "…………".

As expected, it was him again; he hasn't changed at all over the years.

His so-called "waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump" is a little-known secret of the Unrestricted Sea. If you are accidentally swept into the sea by the waves in the Unrestricted Sea, there is a 30% chance that you will escape being eroded by the chaotic foreign Dao traces in the seawater.

They arrived at another special place hidden in the forbidden sea area—Gathering Demon Island, which is where Xiao Yu is now.

However, due to the special nature of the Chaotic Forbidden Sea, those who arrive at the Demon Gathering Island will be unable to leave because of the mutual repulsion between different Dao traces, and will be trapped on this island for their entire lives.

Therefore, over the years, the survivors, upholding the idea of ​​loving each other as a family and helping one another, established a special sect on Jumo Island, called the Heaven and Earth Family Great Love Sect.

Everyone in the sect is talented, and they all speak very well. Xiao Yu likes it very much.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand, was immune to the corruption of the alien Dao traces due to the extraterrestrial demons, and was able to enter and exit at will.

However, in this day and age, who would be so idle as to come to the forbidden sea area of ​​the Ten Most Dangerous Places? It's not a tourist attraction. Even if they did come, they would probably be a few highly skilled old men who are bored and looking for some resources. It's highly unlikely that Liu Shicheng's so-called fairy would be here.

"Then you can wait patiently! I'm going back now."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xiao Yu patted Liu Shicheng on the shoulder and walked towards Jumo Island, preparing to return to the mountain he had rented within the sect.

"Really? Then you'd better hurry. I see several plumes of black smoke rising from your house. It might be on fire!" Liu Shicheng kindly reminded him, pointing to a distant mountain peak.

"You must be mistaken. How could that be my house?"

Xiao Yu glanced at it, his expression relaxing. How could he not know what his home looked like? Although he hadn't been back for several years and the appearance was a bit blurry, he still remembered the general shape.

"Really? I remember that's your Great Bamboo Sword Peak, isn't it?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't seem to care, Liu Shicheng asked in confusion.

"..."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. He took another careful look at the smoking mountain and compared it with his memory of it. Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued to walk a few more steps south.

Suddenly, with a swift turn, the spirit horse galloped wildly towards the smoking mountain peak.

Holy crap! That really is my house!

Chapter Three: Isn't the disciple trained from childhood the master's child bride?

Xiao Yu has an apprentice.

The first time he met her was on a lone ship in the Chaotic Sea. At that time, Xiao Yu had just gained a foothold in the cultivation world and, after several years of hard work, finally had his own territory on Jumo Island.

In their excitement, we went off the island for a while. On our way back, we found an eight-year-old girl on a dilapidated boat. She was thin and small, lying on the boat, looking pitiful.

Seeing that she was all alone, as if she had been deliberately abandoned there, Xiao Yu felt pity. It just so happened that he lived alone on an empty mountain peak, so it would be good to have someone to keep him company.

The girl's surname is Bai and her given name is Yan.

He was the one who came up with the name, and Xiao Yu thought it was pretty good.

It sounds much better than that unlucky guy next door who got named Li Fugui.

Xiao Yan... Xiao Yan, please don't let anything happen to you!

On his way to Dazhu Sword Peak, Xiao Yu looked anxious, and the flying sword under his feet made a sizzling sound as he stepped on it, as if he wished he could install a nitrogen accelerator on the end of the sword.

By the time he arrived at Dazhujian Peak, the fire had been almost completely extinguished.

All that could be seen was a wooden house that had been burned to almost ashes, and a stunningly beautiful woman standing to the side holding a blackened pot with a large hole in the bottom.

The woman was dressed in a dark white dress, with dark hair and blue eyes. Her long hair, which cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, was tied up with a bamboo hairpin. Her demeanor was serene, with a slender and frosty air about her. The pale sky was like glass, and the rays of sunlight fell on her, like the cold moon reflected in water, making her look extremely cold and aloof.

Perhaps due to the fire, the woman's pristine white clothes were inevitably stained with black marks, and her fair, unadorned face was also covered in soot. Coupled with the broken black pot in her hand, she exuded a simple and honest charm.

Who is this?

Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks, puzzled.

!

Seemingly noticing Xiao Yu's arrival, the woman's indifferent, wooden eyes flickered a few times before she threw down the broken pot and came to stand in front of Xiao Yu.

A clear, ethereal voice rang out:

"Master, you're back? Shall we have some tea, or take a bath first, or... shall we eat me first!"

"I... cough cough cough."

Upon hearing such outrageous words, Xiao Yu nearly coughed up blood.

Are you sure there's tea available here?
