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

Xiao Yu fell silent. He had noticed it when he discovered that Tie Yanran was a woman, and now that he thought about it, there were many suspicious things from the very beginning.

How could there possibly be a man more beautiful than a woman in the world? That can only exist outside of reality.

Well, every family has its own problems. His Bai Yan doesn't even know what love is yet.

Xiao Yu continued flying forward.

First, I need to resolve Xia Nianmo's issue, and also deal with the system within me. Then, helping Bai Yan regain his feelings is what I really need to do.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu shouted directly to the system in his mind:

"The system should be unbound by now, don't disturb my retirement. The protagonist Ye Feng is outside. Oh, and while you're at it, take Xia Nianmo, that burden, with you too. Otherwise, the plot will be completely messed up. Anyway, for your system, crossing the Chaotic Forbidden Sea should be a piece of cake!"

"This system cannot do that. Once the system is bound, it cannot be changed unless the host dies. Moreover, the so-called Ye Feng you mentioned has been found to be dead by the system."

Xiao Yu abruptly stopped flying on his sword.

"what?"

Chapter Twenty-One, Escaping Demon-Gathering Island (Two Chapters Combined)

Under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, rays of sunlight gently fell upon Bai Yan, making him feel warm and comfortable.

Today, a few people from Shenji Peak came to build a house, saying that their master sent them.

She didn't say anything, but simply moved a small stool and sat in the yard watching them split the bamboo and then glue it back together.

The sunlight was warm, and she squinted comfortably, like a cat lazily sunbathing.

Master...didn't come back last night.

Shouldn't I be unhappy?

After all, Sister Fox said that a man who doesn't go home and doesn't come home at night is definitely out fooling around, and might be lying in the arms of some slut.

Bai Yan didn't understand some of the words, but she felt that her master wouldn't do that.

Thinking this, she reached out and pulled down the corner of her mouth, her middle finger poking her brow, as if to make an angry expression.

However, she failed. Her expression was awkward and lifeless, making her look rather comical and funny.

Her master only taught her how to smile; she still didn't know how to be angry.

"Bai Yan, the house is almost finished being built for your master. Remember to let him know."

Bai Yan nodded, a sweet smile appearing on his face with practiced ease, but upon closer inspection, his eyes remained completely expressionless, as if they had been carved from life.

"My daughter has such a beautiful smile."

The newcomer laughed heartily a few times and reached out as if to pat Bai Yan's head, but she turned her head away to avoid it.

I don't want anyone else to touch me, except my master.

Why isn't Master back yet? Is he angry because I bothered him the night before last?

Sister Fox said that clingy girls are more likable, and Little Yellow said the same thing. Unfortunately, she is still a fox and hasn't even transformed into human form yet.

A fox demon's tail is equivalent to one realm, and Little Yellow is considered to be at the third realm. Unfortunately, under the current intentional suppression by the Heavenly Dao, it is extremely difficult for demons to transform into human form.

Xiao Huang kept nagging her, saying that once she left Jumo Island, she would definitely drag that old woman Lingjun off the damned chessboard and kick her a few times.

Bai Yan felt somewhat annoyed; the feeling of annoyance was more like boredom. She just wanted to stay by her master's side.

My master is very special. Maybe it's because I've spent a lot of time with him, but I always feel uncomfortable when he's not around, like something is missing.

The master has been gone for a long time, unlike before; he hasn't returned for a very long time.

Sister Fox said it seemed like she was doing something for someone else, and when the time came, she came back.

Why do things for others? Isn't it better to stay on the Demon-Gathering Island?

Xiao Huang started nagging in her ear again, saying... it's all that damned old hag Ling Jun's fault. She said she would sneak out of Jumo Island with Ling Jun and storm Tianwaitian to drag that old hag off her high seat. "Emperors take turns sitting on the throne, tomorrow it's my turn."

Bai Yan agreed. Since it was she who wouldn't let his master come back, then logically he should listen to Xiao Huang and charge into the Outer Heavens.

However, Xiao Huang said she would wait until she broke through to the fourth realm before she could transform into human form. As a result, eight years passed, and her master returned, but she still hadn't broken through to the fourth realm.

Now that Master is back, the plan to storm the Outer Heavens is off the table. Little Huang is all talk; she's not capable of storming the Outer Heavens. She'll just get captured halfway there and made into a fur coat.

Bai Yan turned her head to look at the house that Shenji Peak and the others had built for their master. The person who had spoken to her earlier, seeing that she didn't say anything, took it for granted and left.

Actually, the fox sister deliberately burned down the master's house because she said that she could sleep in the same room with the master then.

Hmm... I'll be sleeping in the same room as my master.

Unfortunately, the master only slept for one night before running away and sleeping at someone else's house. Sister Fox said he was a coward, and wouldn't dare to eat even when the food was right in front of him.

What to eat...? A meal? Bai Yan didn't understand.

The fox sister simply asked herself, "Do I want to be with my master for the rest of my life?"

There's no reason to refuse spending one's whole life with one's master.

"Alright, tonight you go buy a bag of love potion and a love potion, and then we'll make it a done deal. Xiao Yu is a very responsible person, and he'll definitely marry you. That way, you can be with your master for life."

You'd better hurry up. When he came back this time, I could smell a woman on him. If he marries another woman, Xiao Yan, you're so beautiful, you'll definitely be ostracized by your wicked master's wife. Once you have a wife, you forget your mother. It's the same principle as the master and disciple.

"If I just whisper something in your ear, Xiao Yan, you might get kicked out of Dazhu Sword Peak."

Bai Yan didn't want to be kicked out of Dazhu Sword Peak, so he decided to buy it.

Unfortunately, this time, Bai Yan waited a long time but his master did not return. He went to the place where he had stayed last time, but his master was not there.

I heard that Master went to Shenji Peak and Daike Peak during the day, and she looked for them both.

nothing.

Has the master gone out again?

No way, my master always greets her when he goes out.

Bai Yan waited all night at Dazhu Sword Peak. Would his master never come back?

Fortunately, just as dawn broke, the Shenji Peak group, who had just been released from the Sword Prison, arrived, saying they were building a house for their master.

Bai Yan was relieved; her master hadn't left, but had simply gone to a place she didn't know about to sleep for the night.

When will the master be back?

Bai Yan stared blankly into the distance. She didn't like to talk; she preferred to silently observe everything around her, watching how others laughed, and remembering their expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

My master once said that even though I can't laugh, I can still pretend to smile, and maybe if I keep pretending, it will become real.

Suddenly, a head popped out from the hazy distance, looking rather smug. Bai Yan looked closely.

Master is back!

………………

Xiao Yu returned, and when he saw the brand-new bamboo house, he was slightly taken aback.

As expected of Brother Fan?

It's built so quickly!

Unfortunately, I can't move in for the time being.

He scratched his head and quickly walked over to Bai Yan, who was sitting on a small stool in the courtyard.

"Xiao Yan, Master is back. Um... haha, what's with that expression?"

I'm angry.

Bai Yan smiled faintly and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu took a closer look. If he hadn't been told, he would have thought Bai Yan was making a face. He stepped forward and removed her hand from the corner of her mouth.

"Alright, alright, it was Master's fault this time. I forgot to tell you that you were staying out overnight. I promise I won't do it again next time. Stop making faces like that, it'll make you look ugly."

Bai Yan nodded. She always listened to Xiao Yu, and her master had never broken his promise to her.

At this moment, she looked behind Xiao Yu and saw that he was carrying a very large package on his back.

"What is it?"

Seeing Bai Yan look at his packed package, Xiao Yu explained:

"Some items are for you, and some are for the master to use when he goes out. Go inside first, and we'll talk about it there."

As he spoke, he picked up Bai Yan's small stool from the ground and pulled Bai Yan into the house.

Tie Yanran is probably hunting him down all over the island right now, so it's not very safe for him to be standing outside.

Inside Bai Yan's house.

Xiao Yu took out one item after another from his bundle and placed them on Bai Yan's bed.

"These are kitchen utensils I bought. They were specially made of iron and stone, so they won't break easily. Brother Fan will come again later to finish building the kitchen for us, and then we can put them in the kitchen."

However, you don't need to trouble yourself with cooking, Xiao Yan. Your master will hire someone to cook for you from now on.

Also, this is a quilt that your master bought for you. It's a magic treasure. You're still just a mortal. Covering yourself with it will be good for your health. It's mainly warm in winter and cool in summer. If you cover yourself with it for a long time, living to a hundred years old won't be a problem.

besides……."

Xiao Yu pointed to one item after another and explained them to Bai Yan.

Finally, he took out his money pouch and placed it in Bai Yan's hand.

"Oh right! These are the spirit stones Master had left, ninety mid-grade spirit stones in total. I'll give them all to you. Be careful with them. It's a pity, they're my wife's savings, otherwise I would have more."

Looking at everything Xiao Yu had prepared for her, Bai Yan tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yu:

"Going out again?"

Before Xiao Yu went out, he always acted like this, as if he was making his final arrangements. After a while, Bai Yan got used to it.
